I'm an American embarrassed of this administration. Just give us all of the tarrifs ? this trade war needs to end.

As a Canadian I’m boycotting as many US goods as I can. My many likeminded US friends, don’t give up hope - keep resisting this current US administration! ??

Who gives a fuck.

Hallelujah! \nBro, finally trudeau gives a bloody awesome speech.

USA should up Canada tariff to 50%. Screw them. No one in the world gives a sh1t about Canada. All your famous rich ppl came to the USA to get famous and rich. What have they EVER done???? ??? Our GDP to Canada is 17%. Theirs to us is only 2%. Don't need them.

As an American, I am rooting for you Canada. Give us a black eye. We need it

Sounds like CANADA IS NOT CLOSING THE BORDER. AMERICA NEEDS TO STOP GIVING THE WORLD FREE MONEY.

Trudeau doesn’t give a cent about Canadians. He’s a lying piece of trash. He’s trashed our country the last 10 years.

I was a trump supporter from the uk and thought he would be a good thing because of all the corruption and not caring about its people that was going on from biden . just like whats happening in the uk not giving a dam about its people from labour But i think trump has done some idiot things backing Russia like there hes best mate doing this to Canada. It seems all trump cares about is money money money and and stabbing hes allies in the back.

Gotta give credit where credit is due: The orange clown managed to realize something we haven't seen in a while: uniting Candiand left and right.

Trump is a BULLY. Trump needs and thrives on attention and adulation. DO NOT GIVE IN TO TRUMP !! The best way to deal with a bully is to STAND UP TO HIM. IF THE WORLD STANDS TOGETHER AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP WILL BACK DOWN. JUST LIKE ALL BULLIES.\nTrump wants to control 1/3 of our known world, along with China and Russia.

Were tired of giving you and EVERYONE ELSE, money!!!!

Good luck. We don't give a shit. We are not you. We won't bend over and accept it. You will change buddy. Soon too.

This clown ?who took an entire country hostage by freezing parliament, the one who systematically destroyed the Canadian economy is giving us a lesson in economic strategies! Canadians want immediate elections and the repositioning of Canada in the economic war with a strong government, supported by Canadians, not with gangsters and thieves in government!

SO SORRY we have the A-hole sitting in Oval office that we do Mr. Trudeau!!! You know we're not those people who wish to be at war with any country....ESPECIALLY YOU!! PLEASE give us a minute while we work on getting free of this TYRANT!! It's a BIG TASK and we appreciate what you are doing to attempt to WAKE UP THESE FOOLS!!!!\nTHINK I'LL RELOCATE NORTH OF THE BORDER UNTIL THEN!!

Go Canada. Give it to Trump.

Absolutely fuck Trump, that fetid piece of dog feces. NOBODY WANTS THIS except those who gain to profit, I am certain that will not be the vast majority of Americans nor Canadians. You are hurting families and businesses that cannot withstand the state sponsored games. I hope to god people get out there and bring this silliness to an end. I cannot abide this, attack closest and most beloved allies. I cannot even...\n\nTo my friends and family In Canada and the US, stay strong, don't give in to the rhetoric.

Who gives two shits what that commie dictator Trudeau has to say.

How come no one talks about the trade war Canada imposes on the United States. Who is asking about the tariffs they impose on us?? Lmfao ?.. can we get journalism that gives us both sides of the argument??? That’s what Americans actually want

Trudeau should give Trump English lessons.

Go Canada! We need all the help you can give us to get rid of Trump. Make Trump's tenure in office the biggest failure ever seen.\nPS - I'm an American.

CANADA YOY ARE LIKE A ANT ? AMERICA IS LIKE A ELEPHANT ? ELEPHANT CRUSHES AND ANT ? YALL WILL SAY UNCLE SOON WE ARE GETTING CANADA AND GREENLAND AND PANAMA AND MEXICO JUSTIN DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A SPANKING JUSTIN SETTLE DOWN

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

Trump uses the borders as a smoke screen. This is all about his tariffs to bring in money to subsidize his tax cuts for him and his super rich friends. They do not give a dam about the working class..

Trump is thinking way beyond a trade war…it is way more destructive…..prepare to stay the course…for ALL …that this despicable act brings…never never ever give up. Appeasement only makes the aggressor stronger. Apparently this what the American people voted for???

Trudeau, this is a lame accusation simply run to justify all the following decisions that move US to a totalitarian regime. Trump could give a shit that people are dying from fentynal od

Our government does not care about disabled, elderly, or anyone except his billionaire buddy's and giving the m tax breaks, this man spea9is a real president no name calling g, no threats, no bullying no blaming Biden, Obama

Canadian here! Can't believe that you morons are falling for this pant loads BS. He doesn't give a rats ass about his own people, why would he care about you guys!!!

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

????????????????? yeah and Trump’s laughing at you buddy you’ll give in sooner or later

Thank you for not backing down to 47. I know it is going to cost more, but we cannot give in to 47. I live in NH and I know a lot of Canadians usually come down here for shopping and vacations- we will miss you as you fight against these tariffs.

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

I am a Canadian, and i don't like the tariffs, but our government taxes us too much, and are taking our hard earned dollars, funding wars, and and giving it away to refugees and welfare recipients

Look at Trudeau trying be a leader. And our democrats are eating it up. ???. If you don’t want the tariffs then make the deal to a fair trade. We give more money to you because of past trade deals.

Let's go 51..?. One big pity party going on in here.. Time will tell , we are not giving in....?. We are already making Canada Better. Your welcome.

Thankfully on leader in North AMERICA has the balls to stand up to trump,putim and vance .As well as the rest of the world or just give in looking scared and weak .

Trump is a bully it was never about the opioid crisis because he doesn’t give a crap about people we are not against the people of America, it’s your president. That’s the bully and all his caucus.

Governor Trudeau, you’ve allowed our country to be ravaged by immigrants and fentanyl. Plus we give you billions of dollars in aid just cuz you’re our neighbor. Additionally, i thought you resigned?

Although I've been frustrated with JT's leadership for some time, I'll give credit when it is due - a very fine moment for him.

It's astonishing how just one man can turn the whole world upside down. I don’t understand why people always have the tendency—despite being fully aware of the consequences of their choices—to still make the wrong ones. Perhaps it gives them a thrill… but they fail to realize that, in the end, they are the ones who have to face the consequences.

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

Trump is doing this so he thinks Canada will fold and give their beautiful country to him! Stand strong Canada. We, in Australia, another Commonwealth country, are behind you ?

damn sounds like the little brother is giving the big brother advice. Now, will he listen?

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

You know why there are no trump supporters (yet) in the comments here telling you why trump is right and Trudeau is wrong? Because right-wing propagandists haven't had time yet to tell trump supporters what to think of this speech. Give it a few days, and then expect a bunch of ignorant, foolish MAGA clowns who can't think for themselves to be here regurgitating what they were spoon fed.

Trump is going to give the USA to Russia and he's going to go there too and the world's going to be fucked!

Keep the pressure on the orange turd administration and dont give in. USA is ashamed and embarrassed at what this administration has created.( USA outside of the maga deplorables that voted for this to happen)

These countries charge us out the ass plus we give them money stop your bitching.

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

I have to I’m happy to see him actual find his federal spine!!! This speech was clear, constructive, professional and one that I can back! I’m willing to put up with the pain for the sake of our pride! He needs now to actually follow up with firm action, both in tariffs,reducing electricity, natural gas, oil as well as giving support to those Canadians who will need them,
