He says the CANADIAN people don’t want this. Likewise, the AMERICAN people don’t want this either. Unfortunately we didn’t get a vote in this decision.

Wow, this is what a sane person sounds like. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for a clear and concise explanation of this unfortunate situation. I am embarrassed by my country.

What a great lider! Great position from Canada. I wish we Mexican could do the same, unfortunately we are very weak and very dependent on the US, which is why our President is still waiting.....

Unfortunately, the American people are bunch of dumb-asses who voted for this Village Idiot. He has manage to bring an economic growth to a devastating halt and possible recession.

This just evens up the playing field! Trudeau is just talking smack! The Canadians are good people but unfortunately they have gone woke!

I am a Canadian with close family in the U.S. Unfortunately even if the tariffs are reversed and the rhetoric tones down I don't see Canadians trusting the U.S. again anytime soon. A fundamental connection has been broken.

Firm response, diplomacy and tact, all provinces have to support including the PC controlled far right Alberta, if they don't want their life style returned to hillbilly status, its unfortunate that Justin Trudeau is leaving politics at a crucial time

Amazing Trudeau tell it to the orange clowns face - the ?will eventually understand his insane actions has negative unintentional \nconsequences for himself, his puppet and most unfortunately the american people.

LOL America is a country ruled by dictator and the most powerful people I don’t feel sorry for you, it’s unfortunate for the normal people.

This is devastating to the American people who did not vote for this current administration! This is nothing but insanity! Brilliant move on your part! Unfortunately, only the middle class & poor will suffer!

It is heartening to hear Trudeau speak strongly with honesty, respect and dignity. How sad and unfortunate it is for the US an 18:04 d the world that the US has a lying narcisstic felon rapist in Trump, a man with no dignity or respect.

An intelligent coherent clear 'truth' based speech - now compare that to Trump. Go Canada {from me in the UK]! I just hope we stand up to the US with the same strength. Not sure our PM has the same backbone unfortunately.

For all of you GO Canada people. The majority of Canadians oppose what our government is doing. This man has destroyed our economy and done everything he could to stop international trade of LNG and oil by shutting down all pipeline and LNG PROJECTS WE HATE THIS MAN. It is not Trump BAD it is everything Trudeau did above and more that killed us. these Tariffs would mean nothing to us if he hadn’t fiscally destroyed us. We are getting what we deserve. Unfortunately it will lead to destitution of many people. I can’t wait to see his party gone. We are running out of time.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

It's truly unfortunate that this is all caused by 1 person, who no longer has a system of checks and balances on him. I feel our relationship with the U.S has come to an end. We need to have closer ties with our friends in Europe, and secure more trade deals with the EU and Great Britain.

Bravo Canada ?? .. unfortunately no matter what he says , trump and his sheep won’t believe or listen to a word this brilliant leader is saying .. good luck Canada from Sydney Australia ??

Unfortunately this well founded , intellectually solid argument will be completely lost on an illiterate buffoon that currently occupies the oval office. Trump stands only for a self seeking dictatorship. He lack the basic brain power to appreciate what he has done.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

An American here. God bless Canada. Unfortunately an uneducated group of Americans and a dictator has put us here. Real Americans will do our job in our 2026 midterms and 2028 elections.

A true leader addressed the US public today. Unfortunately, he was from another country.

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

One good thing donny dementia has done is united other countries together. Unfortunately they are united against the US.

The citizens of USA voted for this, unfortunately.

We don't want this either, Mr. Trudeau. Unfortunately 49.9% of voters in this country DO want it because they follow orders from the orange man without questions. And the rest of us must suffer due to this minority.

American here who is MAD AS HELL at dirty, filthy trump!! Hit the switch, Canada! TURN OFF THE POWER. BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN PRODUCTS. JACK UP THE TARRIFS. Economic pain is, unfortunately, all that the average dumbed-downed MAGA Americans understand.

Spain and many Spaniards always support Canada and people know the history and the reality. The Russian government is an oligarchy that only benefits itself by impoverishing and robbing the people. A perverse system that condemns Russians to live in economic and intellectual misery. If you don't agree with Putin and his friends, you unfortunately disappear...Russia is an irrelevant country, which boasts about issues it does not have, and lives off a miserable past from which it inherited those nuclear warheads to have so much relevance. Curiously, Russians do not want to live in their own country and you can find them from the Arab countries to the Costa del Sol in Spain fleeing the misery of their country.

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

As a American. We need are allies to help save our country, unfortunately the people of the United States are in chains right now

I have NEVER been so embarrassed to be an American. Hell is about to descend on this country. And Trumpsters, bend over and take every bit of it, you deserve it. Unfortunately the other half of the country with a brain will have to take it as well. Imbeciles. Willful ignorance is a hell of a thing.

Unfortunately as soon as he said “Let’s look at the facts” he lost half of the American audience.

Canada l stand with you and that rest of the Democratic world. Unfortunately we have an idiot in chief who doesn't have a blanking clue on how to run a botega yet alone in the United States of America.\nTo yours truly the felon in chief your days are numbered the American people will make it a priority to remove you from the white house along with the Maga bootlickers that support your blank toosh . Trudeau Mad Respect to you a true leader in chief of the free world.

We understand that you have to do what you have to do. \nOur president is a bit of a joker \nOMG unfortunately

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Donald Dump is a dumpster fire. He and JD are complete idiots, Canada doesn't allow drugs into US, LMFAO. They have single handedly ruined of decades of partnership and friendship, gone for ever in just a few weeks! We might be small, but mighty, unfortunately it will be everyday Americans who will feel the pain. Millions less trips to USA from Canadians, BuyCanadian, all US alcohol no longer available throughout Canada, AND Gov'ts not allow US companies to bid on procurement. 100's of Billions will be lost to everyday Americans, and remember you have Donny and JD for it all!

No, Trump is NOT smart. He is a complete moron. He literally said he “thinks” the other countries pay the tariffs. And unfortunately half of our citizens are also morons for electing that scum.

It's unfortunate that Trudeau is trying to help Americans more than our own President

The GOP and the American people have unleashed 2 monsters in Trump and Vance - and you gave them the keys to the nukes. Unfortunately, the world has to pay the price.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

As an American, do what yall gotta do Canada. Unfortunately we are under a dictatorship and the feckless GOP won't stop him.

As a American.. i stand with Canadas decision.. its unfortunate that we have a child a felon a Russia loving president.. if which i can't believe people voted in to destroy America.. Go for it Canada.. fuck Trump..

My book is for sale at the Maple Staple Book Store in Canada and now idk if it will continue. This is very unfortunate to see happening!

Unfortunately having a hard time listening... She's so beautiful..

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

Uh, it's no WE... no, he, Trump, is in bed with Putin. Thanks, T, for the warning. We are at the mercy, unfortunately, of these dictators!!?

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA - didn't we tell you it was true .... so unfortunate that this wasn't dealt with via impeachment years ago !

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

This is not the work of American people; this is the action of a spoiled child who wants to show his billionaire friends that he is the bully on the playground. He is what you get when racist, ignorant people vote based on hate and bias. Unfortunately, their ignorance will hurt us all.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. Unfortunately Donald Trump will destroy the US. Canada will grow stronger without US. It is regrettable that the current Trump administration is destroying the strong relationships between US with Mexico, Canada, Europe, UK, China, Middle East and Africa. Canada will always stand for democracy, freedom and justice even if this current administration refuses to do so. US and Canada has fought WWI, WWII, Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq war, Afghanistan war together. As brothers in arms both have fought, bleed together against fascism. What Donald is doing in the US is as close as it gets to fascism in America. During this difficult time in American history more than ever America needs to trust in God. God bless America land of the free home of the brave. Let's pray that God will intervene through prayer to bring America to depend on Him once more.
