Trump has just started..with likely hiccups...Canada is doing badly and Trudeau is on the verge of losing his position...Just do the need....stop drugs and illegal immigrants to USA...and show concern for the dissaperances ..and other injustices on its native population..The US will take care of itself...

Meanwhile East Indians are taking over Canada and the inflation and taxation has gone up and public healthcare is so bad people had to wait a year to see a specialist ! Wtf is this man talkin ! Canada money is down

Grettings from the beautiful and great Garden State NJ??thanks Canada, this guy Trump has some good ideas but at the same time he has a bunch of bad perceptions of the world where we lived, our allies are our friends not our enemies!

OMG what a most stupid move by Trump. As for Canada you have all the resources and intelligence to be self sufficient from the USA. Putin isn't the only bad guy as Donald is as well.

I give a thumbs up because i actually have pride in America for the second time in my life.... your country with its weak borders is how one of the three ways fentanyl gets in ...canada Mexico and Florida are the main ways fentanyl gets in so what stupid people do drugs im not crying over it and there are few that gets tricked to take that stuff and all that help getting fentanyl to people are murderers ... hell is real so in the end those that profit will have a bad eternity so im happy

So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

It's too bad our leader is so pathetic! Maybe we can be part of canada!!!

People can say many bad thing about Trudeau, he's not perfect as a leader, but who is perfect seriously? Conservative party? I don't think Polievre is perfect either, there is no easy way to deal with this, it'S going to cost a LOT of money for Canada to make sure that people and industries survives this...

You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

? Learn your facts! Canada taxes us on tariffs! Now we are doing the same so I guess America is the bad guy ?‍♂️

The orange pumpkin went insane after he was caught stealing from banks for his bad habits .\nWe are sorry we're not part of Canada and intelligence governing instead of selfish crazy people wanting to side with Putin ...I fear s world war unless he's impeached AGAIN ?

The last trade deal with Canada and Mexico was done by the Trump Administration1.0, If it's such a bad deal, BLAME TRUMPICILE!!

This is how Trump is when he’s a president if he don’t get something then this is what he does to payback to other countries and even to other people in America however, he treats people in other country he would treat America just as bad. Trump is a dictator and evil and mean and a terrorist to our own country. Trump don’t give a crap about America. He only cares about himself. I’m with Canada and America to fight for our rights against Trump.

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

OMG ??? The U.S Government has really fucked up with Canada!!! This is your fault, Trump, you made it bad for everyone I hope that u r happy and able to sleep at night. The moment Trump came into office, it was going to be trouble for the country ?

Imagine screwing up so badly that Canada —CANADA — has to sit you down like an irresponsible child and explain basic economics. \n\nNext, Trudeau will be offering a coloring book to illustrate 'Actions Have Consequences' while the U.S. government wonders why their groceries now cost as much as a used car. ????

Most Americans do not want to support Canada with our tax dollars. We have had a huge trade deficit with them for decades and we are the only military they have outside of a bad joke with no punchline. Canada needs to support itself militarily and financially.

I get the responde about the trade war. But where is he coming form when talking about Russia? Even when the U.S. slaps you in the face, you insists on buying the propaganda and try to get on the bad side of one of the most powerful countries? \nDo we want an alternative? Canada, you have Mexico to work with, and if you go west, you have China, the biggest economy of the world. Wake Up.

Sad moment this is controllable by your head of govt . US and Canada should be work hand in hand . The Decision is bad for everyone in North America

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

Mr black faced racist the hero of Fnn?. He desolved Parliament rather than be thrown out, very democratic? Said Tariffs are bad so he now imposes tariffs? No credibility cant be trusted, since canada has still not met its NATO obligations.

I am so sorry Canada. I feel so bad. You are a beautiful country and I just hate that this has happened.. You don't deserve this..?

Okay, so US tariffs are bad and will cause financial trouble for both Americans and Canadians. Won’t Canadian Tariffs do the same thing? Furthermore, Canada will not win a Tariff war with the US. Canada’s response is not rational, nor is it in the best interest of the country. What about working with Trump to understand what it takes to remove all tariffs.

I feel like if you’re beefing with Canada or Australia, your chances of being the bad guy skyrocket.

Im ?? & have ?? relatives--I never voted for Trump, both Canada & U.S. need to pollute significatly less there was slug in Canada on beach horse ran into died instantly while rider had to jump to safty--Is he talking about natural ferdalizers or chemical fertalizers cuz chemicals are bad for plants

Trudeau , you made canada a bad place before all this... You made to expansive and didnt care...

Trudeau says tariffs against Canada products hurt American families, so on that point let me be crystal clear... \nIf tariffs are so bad for the American people, why are you doing the same thing and placing tariffs against American products, wouldn't that just hurt Canadian families?\nOh lets just look at the facts: You are lying and totally speaking out of your arse to get what you want. Boo hoo...

Canadians are already crying thats why this guy resigned. I dont know what will chage for them as a result of tariff. Economy is bad, inflation is high and people cannot make their ends meet. So stop this useless rant and get on with your lives, and do what is necessary to make Canada great again.

Dude if what Trump is so bad for America and it isn’t going to hurt Canada why do you care. You are the the Dictator you liberal. Good America will just cut all Canadas aide

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

Russian leader was laughing at Canada and US \n‘s bad relations now. ? This is stupid things US leader has ever done

CNN has a great way of trying to turn things against the Republicans it’s Canada that has benefited the very most from our US Canadian relationship Canada is very strict immigration laws which is good. What is bad is they allow people from other countries outside US and Canada to fly in and go through the border into United States. from my understanding, and for the most part, probably because I hardly ever listen to CNN news is most Canadians lost trust in their Prime Minister

Why is trump siding with Russia and alienating Canada and Mexico. It's because he's obsessed with dictatorship and wants to be Putin so bad

we the American start to look like the bad guys to the world y would we start some wit Canada they peaceful

All I know I had a bad experience with high cost living in Canada. Sounds good does not mean the people living in a good life. Actions speak louder than words.

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

This is something, a Leader of another country addressing us. It is really that bad!!! We don't blame you Canada, we know... Oh and by the way THANK YOU!!

Yes Canada show your dignity, say no to bully. The world can see what is righteousness. People often forget they only live for a brief moment, all these bullies will be recorded in history and their bad name stuck forever.

And canada cant win a trade war just like it couldn’t win a covid war ? More damage orange man bad again

“MAKE THAT MAKE SENCE”\nDon’t be hypnotize by this guy, he has been been bad for Canada for the last 10 years, don’t listen to his bs, he is censoring the population, destroying the country following wef agenda and making our lives worse!\nIt will be hard for us Canadians the tariffs, but if it is what it takes to get rid of the liberal party!\nLet it be!

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!

I am from Germany and I stand with Canada. Trump is a very bad president and his circus of evil fellowes is so silly.

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Countries around the world dream of having a neighbour like Canada, and here is the US, having betrayed Canada so bad...who is going to ever see USA as a friend or ally? No money can ever be worth losing this kind of face.

America doesn't need there trade, both Canada & Mexico was only worth about 2.3% of their entire GDP. It's a bad thing for Canada but it's not going to effect America, you'll probably see a temporary blip but it'll be back booming even better in no time.

This what leadership looks like. Too bad the US doesn't have this. ? Canada def with you and appreciate how Prime Minister Trudeau addressed. This is sad and is going to hurt EVERYONE.??
