Canada will never give in to a foreign leader

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

This is the president we need but dont deserve at this moment, shame on us, lets do better, fuck Trump. Please dont give up on us Canada in our darkest hour, we do appreciate you

Canada, give them hell.

Please know that not all Americans back our felon in chief. I don't understand how he got back in office, but I'm proud of Canada for standing your ground. Don't give in to him!

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

How do you protect Canada from inflation and job loss? Give the ideas that Canada can implement

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

This right here has made me even more proud to be Canadian. We stand and unite loud, proud, strong and fearless as a nation. We will NEVER give in or bow down to threats and bullies. \n\nALL OUR ELBOWS UP!!!!\n\n Canada IS NOT and NEVER will be for sale. We will NEVER become the 51st state because you CAN’T have Canada Trump. We will PUSH BACK and we will FIGHT. \n\n❤️?❤️\n??????

The same idiot that called me a flat earth belivever because I didnt want the quickly pushed out covid jabs? The same moron who froze bank accounts after the fact when it was legal to give to the trucker protests? (he should be jailed just for that) The same imbecile that did nothing last year while the Canada Post workers strike before Christmas nearly destryoed my little business (just now by March 3 I've caught up ).. This f-tard has affected my life negatively far more than Trump ever has. I don't even want to hear what this black-face wearing WEF globalist puppet has to say. F off True Dope!

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.

These Trump tariffs are STUPID! YEAH LETS GIVE MEXICO N CANADA OUR FRIENDS 25% BUT ONLY CHARGE CHINA 10% PATHETIC! REVERSE THE TARIFFS NOW! AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

Canada should put dams on rivers going to US. dont give them water

Canada.....I'd love to trade for Trudeau! America will give you Trump, Vance, Rubio, Cruz, Johnson and RFK Jr. Wouldn't want to do that to a friend though.

SHUT UP JUSTIN WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR PEOPLE YOU CUT OFF THEIR FOOD FUNDS DURING COVID BECAUSE TRUCK DRIVERS WOULDN'T GET A CALL WITH A TRUCK DRIVERS DON'T NEED A COVID SHOT THEY'RE IN THE TRUCK ALONE ALL DAY EVERYDAY, CANADA'S GOVERMENT, U JUSTIN , STOP ? LETTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY, THEIR LAST NAME IN CANADA , INTO A HINDU , EUROPEAN or even ASIAN LAST NAME,\nBECAUSE \nCriminals plan on coming into the UNITED States and ROBBING USA BLIND BY COMMITTING USA CLASS X FELONY FRAUD AND THEFT OF ALL THE USA BENEFITS PROGRAMS.\nSTOP LETTING CRIMINALS INTO your COUNTRY and HIRE their IDENTITY because CANADA creates a WHOLE NEW IDENTITY CRIMINALS , so they can come into AMERICA and HIDE their CRIMINAL IDENTITY , CAREER CRIMINALS come into your country and CANADA GIVES CRIMINALS NEW FICTITIOUS IDENTITIES AND FACTITIOUS IDS giving them fictitious identities with fictitious IDs, so they can come into the United States and commit massive { USA class X FEDERAL FELONY FRAUD and THEFT of all the USA benefit programs.\nJUSTIN YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR BECAUSE MOST OF THE CRIMINAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN THE USA COME FROM CANADA THEY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY IN CANADA, CANADA PRODUCES FICTITIOUS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FICTITIOUS IDS FOR MUSLIM TERRORIST

Canada’s 25% Tariffs? A Win for American Businesses in the Long Run\n\nAt first glance, Canada slapping a 25% tariff on U.S. goods might seem like a negative for America. But in reality, this move could actually work in our favor by making the U.S. economy stronger, more self-sufficient, and less dependent on foreign markets.\n\t1.\tBoosting American Manufacturing & Production – When Canada makes U.S. goods more expensive with tariffs, American businesses have a huge opportunity to shift focus to domestic markets and new trade partners. This could bring more production back home and reduce reliance on Canada.\n\t2.\tEncouraging Trade Diversification – The U.S. isn’t limited to Canada. If they want to play hardball, we can expand exports to other countries with fewer trade restrictions. Canada makes up about 15% of U.S. exports, but the rest of the world is wide open. This is a chance to diversify and strengthen our economy.\n\t3.\tMaking Canada Pay More for U.S. Goods – Tariffs don’t just hurt exporters—they also raise costs for Canadian consumers. If Canada wants American products, they’ll end up paying more or have to settle for alternatives that might be lower quality or more expensive from other countries.\n\t4.\tStrengthening America’s Negotiating Position – If Canada wants to raise tariffs, that gives the U.S. even more leverage in future trade talks. The U.S. economy is far larger and more powerful than Canada’s, and in the long run, they need us more than we need them.\n\t5.\tReducing America’s Trade Deficit – If fewer goods are exported to Canada, that means more products stay in the U.S. This helps lower dependence on foreign markets and could even stabilize prices for American consumers.\n\nBottom Line: Canada’s Move Hurts Them More Than It Hurts the U.S.\n\nIf Canada wants to put tariffs on U.S. goods, let them. In the long run, it pushes America to be more self-reliant, strengthens our industries, and forces Canada to pay the price for their own policies.\n\nAt the end of the day, America has the stronger economy, better resources, and more trade options—Canada needs U.S. trade more than we need theirs. If they want to make American goods more expensive, they’ll feel it a lot more than we will.

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

We have three individuals (manager and engineers)who left Canada. I asked what's going on? Answer: the current leader(ship) is full psychobabble and does not give a SHIT about Canada's people!!! Turdeau, the only thing you have done is SHIT on Canada and its people!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Canada, we are only tariffing you cause we need money to give tax breaks to the greedy corporations. We are not satisfied with a corporate tax of 21 percent. We need it to be 15, apparently. This drug BS is just an excuse. Don't worry, I'm glad that millionaire get his tax break while I pay for it.

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Americans IN SUPPORT OF CANADA AND MEXICO!!! Do not give in to trump.

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

LFG Canada ???????? take those American products off the shelves. I’m not giving a cent to America

Bravo for Canada and best wishes! Give Trump and his surrogates hell to save our international economic security and friendship!

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up with you Canada And Mexico!!!’. \nTurn of the lights!!!!’.

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up to you Canada and Mexico!!!!’

Let me be clear. Stop giving Canada money. And if you're a American and you support being trillions of dollars in deficit for a country that we literally pay money to in order to keep their economy healthy then you need to move out of my country.

Oh no Canada is mad. Who gives a fuck, no one takes this asshole serious. Wake up we gotta new sheriff in town! Americas back baby!!!!

Go after American retailers in Canada. Go after Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Best Buy. We also have a plethora of American restaurants in Canada, Justin should tax them all. Don't give Canada to that lunatic Trump for free, fight dollar for dollar Justin.\n\nWe also use alot of American drilling tools, equipment and machines in oil and gas. We go after all these companies and put pressure on them. Their silence is a support for Trump!!\n\nFrom now onwards, Canada should reduce her relanance on America to a mere 20% or lower. Issues like this should inspire Canadian politicians to go global and seek partners worldwide.

Trump is the disappointment .... give us 25% . The good country is stable. And also about the drugs and ilegal alians ...is nothong to do with Canada. But Trump says so . And also say i love Canada, and you can clearly see on he's face looks like is one big enemy of Canada .. Trump playimg same and even more stupid game as 2018, and many American did suffer, and he's doing things again, going up all ready, but Trump promised to be down and even Ukraine War will end in one Day..... woow what the idiot

To our British friends commenting below, could you tell YOUR Prime Minister, Mr. Starmer to show a little more support for us here in Canada, he's not super popular here at the moment but we would love to give him a second chance.

Did I read somewhere that 80% of the fertilizer America uses for farmers comes from Canada?\n\nI note that Canada stated they will give a targetted response at Trump friendly states Florida for ranges etc. Looks like America wants to go it alone.

Half of America voted for this and they deserve this stupidity. It's not ignorance. It's stupidity. I've disassociated with these people.\nAnd I shrug my shoulders as they whine. I'd ask Canada to just stop buying here. tRump will just give this money to Billionaires and MAGA-gop. Lower case, intended.

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

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.

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Trump literary turned the tide of Canada election from pro-trump right wing to anti-trump left wing aka Trudeau lol\nYou gotta give Trump a thumbs up on that lol

Canadians will be wise and resilient, but the American people will speak for us. May the leaders of the Canadian government and economists be wise and patient. May God give them wisdom, so that they can be a bridge, so that every pressure of the American government on Canada, the American people will feel with us.

All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

Aww naah u pissed off the nice guy ? Give em hell Canada.

Americans stand with Canada. I didn't vote for Trump/Vance/Elon ticket. The Whitehouse doesn't care about Americans. Thank you for speaking to us. Fentanyl is an excuse to give people who make $376,000 or more a tax break. Unacceptable.

As an American I'm rooting for Canada. My job relies on Canadian imports. I don't want to lose my job but I want Canada to not give in to us.

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

This moral high ground you’re giving this man is a little hypocritical considering his government seized bank accounts of people who protested. \n\nAs an American I owe Canada nothing, and I certainly don’t prioritize Ukraine in my day to day struggle. And it’s highly offensive to me that these assholes feel entitled to my tax dollars.
