CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

As an European, I'm with you all the way. Don't let Donald do whatever he wants. I'm ready to show support where necessary!

Canada do whatever you can to hold onto this guy.You will need someone like him to lead your country when it is invaded by a neighbour who thinks it should be theirs.

yeah whatever bro

Right on Justin Trudeau Prime Minister nicely said, and God bless you whatever you do❤❤❤❤????

Whatever Canada needs USA ?? !!!???

Whatever Canada needs USA ?? !!!???

An American patriot here I support whatever our allies have to do!! Trump and his administration do not represent all of Americans!! Do not trust him, he never faces any consequences legal or otherwise! Our allies stand up to him and so must American patriots. If nobody tried to put up roadblocks he would become an authoritarian dictator like Putin only dumber!! His cannot happen his threat of World War III to Zelenskyy would be in part because of the US government! The American government is a hostile government at this time!!

if that American is lazy and will make a circus out of these taxes, sooner or later he will need Canada and the EU, ooo and then see how tough it will be. As an european i m not idiot, americans will need to drive BMW or whatever

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

the comparison of listening to trudeau (whatever you might or might not think of him) and then listening to trump is like taking the comparison of a child being mad and a relaxed adult and exagerating it to comic like extremes.

Why doesn't someone just come out and say it. What does Putin have on Trump to get him to do all these things. All of these things don't benefit Canada or the United States they benefit Putin.\n Donald I for one am completely willing to forgive you whatever you've done whatever Putin has on you I will completely forgive you and I would imagine to put an end to all this craziness the rest of the country will forgive you too will give you a pass on whatever Behavior Putin recorded

Just bann all American products across canada, develop your partnerships with Mexico and Central America countries. They have the rigth of imposing whatever tariffs they want. See how Russia developed their own industry when all west companies left after the war. There is nothing better than those tariffs. For both parts. But, if you want to give your but, keep giving it to them.

Bahahahahaha im not going to even watch this clownn gk him and the ppl who abide by “buy made in canada” hahaha what the fk has he done for every Canadian???!!! Ask urself that?? Killed and tried to kill pp. don’t listen to this corrupt clown omg wakeup canada. Lmao of course he doesn’t want this!!!! Why would he , he being exposed!! Omg whatever bloody circus

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) – \n \nYours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 4th of March 2025: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

People can say whatever they want,but Trump administration doesn't listen to anyone.

Canada, join the EU and leave Nafta (or whatever is called now). Mexico, join BRICS and leave Nafta (or whatever is called now. EU, suspend US membership from NATO and close European bases in the continent.

Canada can say whatever it wants. Inconsequential as CNN. Now with a 54% less viewer base and 50% less Corporate revenue donors and supporters.\nCNN on its way out right in front of MSNBC who is next.\nIts over

Guys let’s start supporting Canada ! I’ll go buy maple syrup and whatever Canadians goods I can find in the supermarket tomorrow.

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

Trumps basically no better than Putin, Kim Jong whatever the fuckers name is and that Chinese chap. America, sort your shit out.

Now contrast this with whatever ‘garble garble garble’ trump will garble tonight.

From just south of your southern border, we depend on Canadian visitors. Without you, this place will be a ghost town. Businesses will close. I and many others over here support Canada in whatever you need to do.

Oh, such a scary man ( or whatever it's preferred pronouns are)???

I don't know how much Putin invested in Trump, but whatever it is, no matter how much, it's paying back ten times more.

You guys understand, I hope, that our president is a predator who is like putin tries to land grab Canada? He doesn’t give a s… about the economy, or illegal drugs or whatever. He is a criminal who is after its potential victim- Canada. ??

All I can say to Trump is that history is never wrong. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Anastasio Somoza, Kadafy, Bashar al-Assad, and others tried the same playbook. It didn't go well for them. Did it, Trump? The isolation our country from the rest of the world and the hostile environment you are creating will lead to history repeating itself. But, you will never know. because you are an ignorant uneducated idiot. you deserve whatever history has in store for you. Good luck with that.

Stand aside, Trump. You've been kicked to the curb by a true leader in North America. Canada, and Mexico have shown the world how intelligent leadership and courage crushes whatever the random Russian-sucking fuck that Trump does.

Call whatever war monger talking points\n It has to come to an end peroid.\nNew sheriff in town❤

Im American, And I must say, Get'em Justin!...I'm all for whatever!...they throw at The orange turd!

even this idiot became something, whatever that is, because of Trump

Mr. Trudeau, please do whatever you have too... This administration needs to learn a tough lesson seriously

Interesting how Trudeau talks about how he will do whatever he can to make it easier for his people in Canada ha ha ha ha ha no mention of that from Trump!

Canadians and other nations subject to tariffs, please understand that the *only* reason Trump used fentanyl as a pretext for tariffs is to bypass Congress, because the president can only put tariffs without Congress in matters of national security. Fentanyl is simply a pretext enabling Trump to do whatever he wants.

The message in DC is that they can say and do whatever they want.....and we are powerless to do anything about it. Thoughts?? How do YOU feel about this notion?

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

JT has no idea, he can still go to Taylor Swifts concerts whatever the direct and indirect punishment the normal Canadians will go through with this tariff war. Even if JT gets a great deal from this, they won't trickle down to each of us because of all the corruption and inefficiency in the government. Suggestion is to have the newly selected PM's term for a probationary period so we can fire them if they suck. Thank you. Regards

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

Thank you sir! I served 6 years in the army, 13 months in Iraq. This is total slap in the face. This is in NO way the country I served. It’s a shit show and it’s evil. Please do whatever you need to, to stick it to Trump. Fuck him!

Notice that he didnt say anything about America working with Israel. I guess politicians say whatever is convenient.

trump is just using lies to justify whatever he wants. just like putin. should be a big give away what time of person trump is

Do you think Trump is surprised by this? He's 10 steps ahead of all of you. He has plans for whatever you try to do. Either way you lose. All of you people better get it together and come on over to the winning team and help fix things. If you don't you're just a psycho left fool and you're whole group is dwindling fast. And you can't trust each other so be first before your friends throw you under the bus. Or don't. Lol.

Are we not charging whatever they tax us?

As an American who voted for Kamala, it’s been like watching a trainwreck the past months. Really sad it’s going to take experiencing the worst for Americans to understand how much of a liar trump is. Canada should do whatever they need to to defend themselves and their economy

It doesn’t matter how much I need to “suffer” as an American! I support my President, and my country is worth whatever it takes to do what is right! Go to hell Trudeau! Putin is a better ally! Retarded Russophobia!

is not it open trade? USA can do whatever they want. Trump is doing it for his country. why do you talk it when it happens to only your country? They are doing the same thing to Iran, China and Russia for years. why did not talk like this when USA did same thing China and Russia and Iran. if they can do it to those countries, they will also do it to your country. What USA is doing to Russia, China and Iran for years is unjust and illegal. But as Canada you would not speak it out. If you do not talk about unjust, if you keep silent, that it would happens to you one day is inevitable. Speak for justice for everyone, not just for your country, dear Canada.

Been whatever on Trudeau but he's talking some clear words here, our European leaders should follow and also work closer with Canada.\nAlso our politicians should discontinue using X as a platform to communicate with the electorate - it's undemocratic.

The American president is an idiot. But you know what... they deserve whatever they get. Canada will prosper without the US.

No not our government it’s you! Whatever i don’t care your border is secure cause of us.
