The conservative party had a 26% lead going into our election this year. That was 2 weeks ago. Today the Liberals have a 2% lead in the polls. Trump is moving us to the left and that's the only good thing so far from this administration.

Trade war. This guy is another lunatic liberal. He doesn't want to pay his fair share

From Canada: Sorry but we did this to ourselves by not growing our economy as we could have done, by not expanding energy and trade, by being led by a non-leader who panders only to the east and disrespects the west, who spends money like it’s on fire. Trudeau could learn so much from Sen Robert Kennedy about spending money that isn’t his to spend… If eastern Canada would respect the wealth we have in the country, in the ground, we would not be in this position. Canada could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and Canadians could have a very high standard of living. Instead we are stagnant and woke, dying from terrible drug policies and woke law, and bursting with a terrible “look at me, look at how good I am” immigration policy. We have no investment or tourism in BC, no foreign buyers, almost no airbnb, no fruit, soon to be no wine, but at least we have free drugs and 2000 genders, right Provincial NPD? That will help the bank account. And we have no respect for Alberta’s riches that benefit EVERYONE. All the power is centralized in Quebec, with the Bloc not even a federal GD party but somehow allowed to be a federal party, and Ontario and Atlantic Canada just loving a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority, and don’t forget transfer payments. And we have got ourselves into this Liberal government purgatory (thank God the Federal NPD have been decimated over it…at least there is some justice), so that we write cheques to make us feel good and look good despite that we can’t afford it. And we prevent growth and trade to make ourselves feel good and look good even though we can’t afford it. And here we are now, broke a** with no prospects and no savings. Well done Canada and well done Capitano Trudeau.

welcome to European life pay tax for everything, in EU we pay 20-30% of VAT and up 50% of our salary go to gov.. so yeah we poor in EU as we pay up to 70%-80% in taxes (depends on EU country) but basically yeah happy life.. basically we pay for healtcare and universities , so that 3rd world people could get free education .. I hope someone like trump will take wheel of EU.. there is no place for liberalism in future..

Typical progressive liberal, with the DemocRat politicians media talking point about Putin and Russia, smh

This is insane that some of us Americans didn't ask for this liberal or conservative we didn't ask for a monarch I hope that every maga cult person wakes up so we can kick this madman out of office

Under normal circumstances I would be the last person to support our Liberal party; especially Trudeau. His past record speaks for itself. However, his talk today to the American people and Trump actually made me feel proud to be a Canadian. It was the harshest language I have heard him use towards Trump especially after enduring weeks of degrading talk from Trump in relation to calling Trudeau a governor. I hope that the Liberals follow through with protecting Canadians.

It's sad that liberals think Trump isn't doing this because all these countries have been ripping us off. Do you think he's doing this for fun? Get yourselves off the corporate media. We are done being the world police and we are done getting ripped off by politicians that take money to look the other way when trade deals dont favor us at all. 30 trillion in debt. We cant continue to subsidize Europe and Canada.

I’m here for liberal tears ?

Liberals all the way ❤

suck it sideways canada, bunch of crybaby liberals that rely on daddy AKA the UNITED STATES

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

Liberals ???? Is why Canada was ruined. Not Trump

Trudeau is a liberal woos! The hell with him! In America it’s now AMERICA FIRST!!

The liberals want the trade war not Trump Trump just wants to negotiate with a government with brains

We have a 600 billion deficit to these countries in trade, and you said liberals are okay with this. You all have some serious issues.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

I pray to GOD people don’t vote for the Liberals again because of this speech.

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

FYI this guy quit his job and put Canada into a position that we rely on other countries to live, has been found guilty in a court of law for embezzlement, what he is doing is preparing his Liberal party to put Canada in a state of emergency that will not allow a democratic election. Trudeau is a dictator don't be fooled like Canada was This guy is a criminal and no Canadians want him in power.

Tariffs are for Liberals so they get out of office

This guy has spent 10 years destroying and embarrassing canada. Literally had to resign because everyone in canada hates him. How lucky for him this distraction has happened. It wouldn't surprise me if the liberals paid trump to do this to us..

Trudeau is a liberal asshole

lol liberal Trudo u don’t have any options other then to become 51th state

right now the biggest problems in Canada its all Caused by the liberal Governments they are so focus on Ukraine

Maybe Trump just wants to sink the liberal government for us?

The Liberal Party of Canada turning its back on Britain, our ancestral homeland, in favour of the USA just because of geographic proximity was the singularly dumbest decision Canada ever experienced.\n\nCut ties to the USA and restore what we had with the Commonwealth, and develop our relationship with Europe. I am sick of Americans.

i love my country and i love my liberal government. vive le canada! ✌?❤??

Trudeau destroyed Canada with carbon taxes and bad liberal policies. Trudeau is a spoiled rich brat dictator. \nNow he is using trump as a smoke screen.

Well said Trudeau. We still won’t vote Liberal. As a reminder.

Good response by Justin. Exactly what you want from a leader. Yet, most of the country can't wait to get rid of him. I really am not overly confident about the Liberal replacement or who will ultimately be running the country.

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.

This guy's part of the liberal swamp. While this guy is eating caviar on his buddies, 50 million private jet he's talking to you peasants!

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

YOU can't not exploit any mineral tonnes of crazy Liberals rules!! Under the Liberal you can't do nothing

Liberals fault we got tariffs.Not Trumps fault!!??❌

As a Canadian, i stand with America. You guys are liberal puppets.

Canadians hates that Liberal EX leader for craping the economy and Frozen bank accounts of peaceful Truckers Freedom Convoy.

Trudeau can puff up his chest as much as he wants. He stole millions from the Canadian people. \nCanada has suffered long enough.. liberate them from this absolute fool.

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

Pffffft, joke Trudeau politicking for votes. Liberals won't call a vote this is all intentional. He does not want what's best for Canadians. Vote for common sense, vote UCP.

No fan of Trudeau's liberal policies. But this is a coherent understandable speech that agrees with all sense of logic reasoning. Best wishes for the Canadian people from The Netherlands

Another country that has done nothing for Ukraine. Trudeau is a weak socialist. His people want him out that's why he's stepping down. He has no skin in the game. All you liberals are a joke wanting Ukraine to keep fighting a losing war. The liberals of today are the war mongers.

Trudeau on cnn , what a propagandist asshole , LIBERAL GOUVERNEMENT TAKE CANADIANS IN OSTAGE

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

A bunch of fools that don’t see the big picture in these comments….either that or just a bunch of far left fear mongers. Wake up people, the liberals are not your friends, they want to get rich and keep you dependent upon them for your wants and needs.

We Canadians don’t want this collection of clowns to represent us. But sadly the liberals won’t leave.

Liberals hate America
