Governor Trudeau is talking tough in the final days of his failed regime. Let's not forget governor that you pee'd your pants in front the Canadian people on the world stage in the face of President Trump and then followed up resigning!

Canadian here and i was just hoping he wasn't gonna just roll over to Trump and I'm so glad he didn't nor do I understand him claiming we're the ones bringing the fent. I knew that was bulls**t. I'm actually FINALLY quite proud of an action out of this man FINALLY, cuz let's face it Trudeau, ya aint done much positive other than legalizing the weed. But I kinda believe in ya now for growing a set and actually standing up here.

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

From Australia I am in awe of Trudeau’s leadership and courage. We can never let a tyrant tip the scales of democracy.

Justin Trudeau's drug policies in Canada have been a disaster and now he pretends he is concerned about Fentanyl [a member of the class of drugs known as fentanyls, rapid-acting opioid (synthetic opiate) drugs that alleviate pain without causing loss of consciousness (analgesic). Fentanyl depresses central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory function. Exposure to fentanyl may be fatal.] going into the United States. He is a lame-duck Prime Minister on his way out of political life let alone public office as Prime Minister of Canada. His poll numbers were miserable and he was not supported within many in his own cabinet because of his divsisive decisions with Alberta, female MPs and hypocritical and harmful actions and words as well as broken promises to the Canadian Tax payers.

It’s for a reason dude, stop letting in drugs and illegal immigration’

Let’s do 35%. Their maple syrup isn’t even real.

Close your open door policy and stop letting everyone come to your country. And then they sneak into our country. Go to Vancouver and you will see there is a brown and yellow town I mean how many of them are illegal. On the other hand i understand what you saying. Key words border check point. But how long is the border in Canada thousands of ways for stuff to come through

Go Canada, let him have it. Know that most Americans don’t support his actions. More than half of us DID NOT vote for him, and those that did likely had no idea what tariffs were or certainly didn’t understand how they work. Though I didn’t vote for him, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry to the entire world for the horrible decision so many people in my country have made.

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

For the 56th time, Trump is here to oversee the dismantling of the American Empire, the decay and the decomposition is set within Aether/the default. Let us not cry over additional 4%, the real fist-fucking is yet to come. The Great Rusty Northern Wall is late in the making....\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUW3RY8s4Q

To our friends around the world we appreciate and love your kind words of support. We also open our doors and wallets to trade! We got lots to offer and keen to welcome new friends and expand our relations beyond the ease of our next door neighbours. We love them but they’ve hopefully temporarily lost their minds. We hope they come to their senses but in the meantime- let’s build some bridges and get back to making the world a better place for everyone! Maple syrup, apples, blueberries, potatoes and rye whiskey for all- let a new era of international prosperity begin!

Let's wait and see how this works out.

As a leader of a liberal government, you stood by and did nothing and here you are trying to convince us otherwise. You're a joke. This could have been prevented. Perogan Parliament was your solution only to put in your 3.0 carbon tax Carney! Who's been caught lying to the Canadian people not just once twice three times four times. What a sad representation of Canada liberals NDP. Please move out of the way. Let an election happen. Common sense conservative is what we need. Bye-bye!

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

Don't let trump lead to WW III!

Go Canada! Let's all unite to keep our country.

You nearly killed him and you expect thank you from him grow up lefties all around the world let it sink for a second he will smash you one by one? for God sake he chose Russia over you

Let's become South Canada for 4 years.

Your a puppet for china and soros everyone know that. Your on your way out ! You e been stealing from us for years hurting your own people. Its a good thing you have a good speech writer . We shall see whos stonger in the end you lying trator to your own country. Youve sat and let drugs and illegals invade our boarders for years you worthless piece of **** .How dare you speak to Trump like you have a right to your sickening. Your ready to release what ever it is you have to betray your people and Americans to further your own sale out agenda your an evil coward .

Hey Castro Jr, shut up and let Pierre Pollieve take over already.

So we can all agree that this is some bullshit. We all agree that Russia should not be calling our shots. \nSo lets do something about it.

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

It's interesting to see, how Trump weakens the US influence on all other nations worldwide in the last and following days. Sounds more and more like he is infleunced externally. Let's see how far he can go in the next long four political years.

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.

Fuck it lets make canada the 52nd state

Funny how when you stop letting countries take advantage of us there are issues! I stand with you America ??

Don’t fall for this, he’s not speaking for all Canadians he resigned as the liberal party was falling apart at the request of the liberals. He’s been flying around the world doing nothing the provinces have stepped up not the prime minister. He is putting another 25% carbon tax on Canadians come April 1. He’s no hero he decided to tax carbon and that will help the climate. Our gas usage is less than the carbon tax we are being charged as well as numerous other taxes but he flies in his big carbon polluter plane all over the world. Let him explain why he’s not on Canadian media ??? WEF PUPPET

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

Mr. Prime Minister -- as an American, let me tell you something: you're preaching to the choir.

Let's not forget Canada entered WW2 before USA.

I’m a proud American ! Trudeau is an idiot for not meeting our demands. It could’ve been resolved simply. We don’t want tariffs, we are using them to force your hand and meet our demands, and instead, you’re letting the people of your country suffer

Let see if Fox News, News Max et other Joe Rogan alike medias dare to present this integral press conference to their audience. I presume they won’t.

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.too bad we didn’t have someone with intelligence and common sense as Trudeau.

God bless Canada. Dont let these apes from USA win. The world stays together against this cleptocrat Trump

This feels like an action movie where villains cause a catastrophe to crash the financial markets, scoop up cheap stocks, and get rich overnight. Normally, Bruce Willis would step in to save the day. Time for all the Bruces of the world to rise—let’s get to work!

A lot of propaganda going on. This whole comment section is full of bots. I am fully behind my country. Let's go America.

Trator trump needs to be impeached. America could save trillions impeaching trump and elon. How many of you can aford higher electric and gas bills. Lets step up and tell Trump to go to hell.

My question is why retaliate at all? If tariffs are paid for by the country that imposes them then just let America pay the higher prices and keep imports in Canada at a lower cost. What am I missing?

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.

Let’s see how long this last lol.

When unqualified cabinet members, advisors that just yes men; no one to tell Trump “let’s rethink this….” And here we are today. ? there are no checks and balances in the branches… wake up Americans!

Let’s wait and see what trump does!

Its time we send ALL Canadians attending United States universities - home. They are taking the place of Americans and have no business being here. Let Canadians develop Canadians and Americans Americans. This is especially prevalent with Canadians playing hockey at American universities. This needs to stop now.

Let’s go Canada. Mexico its with you… its time to get united for the good of our people for our families

Let this sink in, tariffs / taxes are debt on the tax payers back not the government's, government take taxes, reciprocal tariffs are just other taxes paid by other businesses in other countries to main government. The only way for the tax payer to prosper is by not to playing in the game by being more self sufficient, which obviously government do not like as it is untaxable. Thus regulations on self sufficiency by governments. Now you know who serves who.

Each country slapping 25% tariff at each other SOUNDS FAIR. Nothing wrong with that. \n\nNOW let the consumers decide which to buy and let the manufacturer where to produce.

CNN... please stay quiet and let us hear how the Prime Minister answers the questions! These reporters have no manners!
