well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

Trump said you will not need to vote again during the election campaign, what has he got coming for America what underhanded devious act is in stall.\nYou voted in a convicted criminal and a pathological liar and a sexual predator, a criminal that supports convicted violent criminals that assaulted police

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Listen Trump lied to Americans he said he don't know project 2025 fired our federal workers Americans are not to blame for Trump lies your issue is with him not the citizens once again he lied to us

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

I like this guy. That being said, would i buy a Canadian Chevy Camaro? How about a helicopter? Does he not hear his people screaming about the cost of living?\n Houses,medical, school,crime all out of control. \n King Trump is Canadians white knight! Better economics, better travel and best of all American votes. If they want to fight...vote!

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Trump is actively working for Russia at this point. And as H. Clinton said some ( not all) of his supporters are Despicable ppl.

Who said Trump was smart ?

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He could have said this to Trumps face but yea ok!

Well said, not a big Trudeau guy but I'm impressed. Pierre will bow down to Trump in an instant.

Trump said there will be no tariffs if you help stop illegal immigration!! And we don’t want this

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

Hey They Voted for This,and they said Trump is doing the Right thing.\nGo Figure

Trump is losing favour in Canada too. Many supported him until the 51st state rhetoric started. Now he's actually allowing Trudeau to stay in power longer. The trade war is allowing Trudeau to stay relevant.\nTrump should have said I'm not dealing with Canada until Trudeau resigns!

I’m glad he spoke to the American people people again, it’s important they have the truth said from others besides the American Democratic Party; the Trump base are constantly constantly being lied to and gas lit by that administration and Republican Elected Officials :

Make That Make Sense. Here you go Trudeau. . If US aligns with Ukrain, as very very sad as this situation is, Trump would be declaring opposition with Russia. Then China aligns with Russia. Then WW3 starts on North American soil. Did Trump word everything right? Absolutely NOT. NOPE. However… I don’t want a war either. Trump should have just stayed out of it. \n\nLastly Trudeau you liar. You said “no one wins in a trade war…”. Yet you respond to tariffs with tariffs. You just started a trade war!!!! \n\nHow’s that for making sense enough for you!!

Here in the UK, we see and hear very little from Trudeau, but we’ve seen and heard quite a bit from him since last Friday’s White House debacle… Been VERY impressed with him, what he has said and how he has said it… Especially using Trump’s own “big things’ language…

Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing the dis respect zylynski showed. He triggered Trump when he said that we were going to feel war on our soil although we are shielded by an ocean. He never wanted to do a cease fire. Aka stop the killing now. Today. Than negotiate the securities. Which Trump said would be easier to do. Stop the war. And the part where we are not getting our money back where with the other nations it is a loan. That is probably the underlying reason why the hesitation by zylynski. \nAs far as tradeau. He reminds way to much of newsom…

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

Trump POOR HUNGRY DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE EASIER TO CONTROL. Just ask Kim un from N Korea. Trump said Kim is a SMART GUY

Make no mistake. . . Trump is after CANADA. Donnie, we are NOT your Louisiana Purchase. We are NOT your Alaska Acquisition.\n\nTrump thinks he is smart, and regardless of what Trudeau said. . . Smartness is measured by actions.

We don’t need a weak country! We don’t need a weak leader either ! I stand behind Trump! As you have said before without the US, you will struggle! I’m OK if I struggle a little bit if we get back our country! go lay down Trudeau we don’t need you!

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

Who wouldve said that Trump would worldwide unite people, against him, of course ?✌️. Keep the fight!!! We, international community are with you!!!!! ??

I’m sorry but calling Trump smart is the dumbest thing that was said in that speech. Trump is anything but smart, he’s the dumbest President the states have ever had.

But what was trump taking about when he said we give them billions of dollars of free money every year I believe that’s why we got here us Americans are wiping everyone’s ass and when the toliet paper runs out we have to buy more we want you guys to start buying us toliet paper wipe our ass

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

Trade wars always comes before an actual war (happened before WW1 and America waged a trade war with Japan prior to WW2). I predict America will be invading Mexico first in a blitzkrieg and then when the US economy is in a war economy it'll try to invade Canada. Heck Trump has already stated as much when he said Canada will be the 51st state of America.

Trump said he would cap credit card interest rates to 10%. Funny how he hasn’t done that only grifting by launching crypto scams, removed joe Biden’s executive order that protected consumers from absurd overdraft fees. Even if Trump burns the country down the conservatives will blame Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden and not their side. It’s like a narcissistic party that thinks they are always right and never wrong.

As a Canadian, I know that most Americans don't want this. But decisions have consequences, and - collectively - you voted for Trump in a free and fair election. He said he was going to do this. No one should be surprised.

Trump said he wants to break the relationship between China and Russia how better to do it by getting in bed with Putin!\nTrump could be playing Putin.

Thank You Mr Prime Minister, You Saud Exactly what needed to be said at this time, tRump gave Canada, Mexico, China no option but retaliation or comply.. Canada will retaliate as we don't have a Bully that is an Oligarchy Driven Maniac at the helm..\nVote ?? Every Time!!! ??❤✌

It is unbelievable how president of the US flirts with dictatorial regimes and challenges his partners. What in the world has happened. Just like Jim said Trump is a rabid dog.

Trump said secure your side of the border and stop the drugs.

putin once said trump is a useful idiot and the one that would bring the most damage to the country and look what he is causing.

Notice how our president, Mr. TRUMP'S decisions are directly motivated to ultimately lower the cost of living for us Americans and rebuilding our country. \nNotice how ALL other countries are operating by emotions first, and intellect second is only going to be detrimental to all the citizens of said country? They themselves express the hardships its going to have on their citizens directly

Trump has sold the lie that tariffs will pay for many great things. 1-It's a direct-to-consumer tax. 2-History has proven that tariff wars are bad for all concerned. P.S. Warren Buffet recently said that if all US corporations paid taxed like his companies do, We'd have no need for income taxes. Trump works from the other end of the tunnel that Ideally no taxes for corporations, and the wealth will trickle down and bless us all.

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

600,000 views and only 39,000 likes. Enough said! The people of Canada wanted his resignation, and they got it! My government is doing what is needed to MAGA. So take yourself and your BS and get lost! ❤❤TRUMP MAGA

Justin shut up you did not do what you said. Why is it ok for you to take our money. Ha Trump will u your Terri’s. We don’t need you or your crap

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

We can't get mad at Canada this is exactly what Trump wanted you said once you said 100 times Trump does not give a damn about the American people

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!

Trump said that Canada is not a viable country but he wants them to be the 51st state. How does that make sense? From one senile fool President to another.

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !
