Your country is now going to go broke cuck boy Trudeau, your a liberal slime that has ruined that country. This will hurt Canadians a whole lot more than Americans, pack your stuff, move on and sign over your country to us! 51st state of Canada, you can’t weather this storm, your already broke.

This makes no goddamn sense. I have so many friends that are already struggling to make ends meet here in a relatively affordable midwestern town. \n\nSorry to all Canadians, and the world, on behalf of a mortified and distraught midwestern American.\n?

He a liar! Canada already has tariffs ..milk product 7.5% to quota than 247%, cars 45% that’s two of many that have been implemented long ago!

Has Trump or Vance already demanded aplogises from Canada/Should all Canadians stand on their knees? How long americans gonna stand that trump insanity?? I think toaday everybode admits that it is sheer clinical insanity

Isn't this the same guy that froze the bank accounts of protesters and invited a Nazi to speak in their parliament! Yeah Tredeau we have already seen what makes you cheer!

Apple, Taiwan, Japan, and honda already invested billions of dollars to America just to avoid tariffs. Like trump said, everything will be built in US soil, from steel, cars, technology chips, etc. In addition, America is the biggest consumer in commerce. These countries need the US dollar. It's either invested in America now and built your products in America or pay the tariffs. Your choice... oh, and for eggs, the US spends $110 million (2023) in eggs from China... Good time for the american farmer to thrive, don't you think?

Trudeau is so full of it resign already

This literal fascist has no legs to stand on. RESIGN ALREADY COWARD

In a best case scenario, DJT will rescind the tariffs on Canadian goods. In the worst case, we get even poorer. If this happened after Trump became president the first time, the economy was strong from 4 years of Obama's presidency. Then COVID happened, and for alot of folks here, they haven't recovered financially. Savings and retirement plans are gone. Rent is higher, for many it takes over 50% of their income. So in this emergency time, there's nothing to fall back on. Oh and DOGE will cut SNAP benefits, I'm sure. That's food stamps, meant for the people struggling. It's becoming more and more of Americans. \nAm I depressed? No, I lived through Reagan's presidency. I'm cautious about life, my job, commuting to work, putting food on the table. I'm gonna try growing veggies. I already eat 75% of my meals at home or taken from home-cooked meals. I'm saving as best I can.

Go away already!!

Maybe that Donald guy is just taking his revenge on America first.\nHe already stated that Canada and Mexico are to be annexed and we all agree that he's doing everything he said so far, literally. If he really moves his 100k+ troops out of Europe as he said I bet my ass that these soldiers are going straight to the U.S. borders, just like Russia did moments before invading Europe. I assume he'll stop there, anyway. Otherwise it means I'm in a coma at hospital right now, and all of this is a weird fever dream.

If he cared about Canadians or there welfare he would of already resigned ??

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

Sounds like a typical politician to me! Corrupt!! Step down already dude.

Mexico has already proposed their response! Go, Canada and Mexico!

As a American just few hours away from Canadian border... we don't need your garbage we already replaced Canada, get over it. . we are tired of supporting the world, constantly dumping money into other countries... we are putting America first and if anyone gets butthurt about that well thats just to bad

Didn't JT quit on his country back in January? Somebody should tell Canada they're allowed to replace him now! I guess they forgot already ?

I thought you Canadians ran this guy off already.

Trump administration already trying to set the stage for backing down. Canada and Mexico should not negotiate with terrorism. Stand their ground. Help Trump and Musk supporters finally open their eyes and see how STUPID the Trump administration actually is, and how everything that is being done (crashing the economy) will ultimately benefit the ultra rich, who can purchase failing assets for cheap.

MAGA has already started to gas light its voters that this is all Biden's fault lol, this is truly insane.

So now Trudeau has a say?? ?\nDidn’t he resign already?? Where have you been in your more than 10 years as PM?? Looool

i heard canada already had tariffs on american goods. is this true or false??? media please explain

I thought he step down already..What’s he doing on the screen ?

He hasn't mentioned how they already hammer us with Tarrifs

Dude we know already, I voted for the black chick ?

America got one big madness President at the White House. We believe he already open the Bank of America to receive 25 percent from Canada ?? , 25 percent from Mexico ?? and another 10 percent from China ??. These tariffs (taxes) are for US government work? Trump is that Federal government himself. Gurrentee the prices will go up .Trump does care about the poor but himself. This is very bad for partnership with Canada? Trau speak the truth

Yeah...support the company's and extend the EI benefits. Who's going to pay for that?! Increase our taxes?? I'm already paying over 40%! Idiots.

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

Economic forecasters are already saying the US is headed for a deep recession. After just 6 weeks on the job.. SMH.

JUST PAY IT ALREADY!

This is so embarassing! Sorry world that ten years of propaganda further brain-rotted an already low IQ population into rallying behing a greasy orange scumbag.

More and more obvious every day. Trump is owned by PUTIN! He acts as an enemy toward we American people, and toward our true allies. He MUST be removed from power immediately. He is compromised and unfit to lead or to represent the real United States of America!! Just look at all the damage he has done already!!!

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.

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

Gunna be tough, you have already made things tough in canada time for you to gtfo you already destroyed our economy way before this

This world need more young leaders like this guy. Fu*k old fart dictators like Trump and Putin. Trump and Putin is a big risk for this world, they lived their lives already, they are not afraid to use nuclear bomb, as they have nothing to loose.

I fuckin hate the way Justin talks. like he reads off a fuckin teleprompter. annoying . you resigned. fuck off into the sunset already So we can have our country back

Its already have an impact. A lot of canadian compagnies stop hiring since january and some lay off as well. So even its only the begining they have been a lot of change.

No it won't hurt us anymore than the Fed already has with fake high interest rates .

The whole world must admit that the old people have no place in politics. This gerontocracy is already tired. Putin and Trump for two are 150 years old. And what do these idiots do? chaos, absurdity, destruction.

Impeach that Trump'eting bastard already!

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

Canadian here. We do not support Trudeau or the liberals/ndp for destroying Canada. He is garbage. Force a Canadian election! Trudeau is basically telling americans dont let trump do with tarriffs what we already did to canadians with taxes, carbon taxes, forign interference, bad policy, open borders and theft of tax dollars.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

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.

Again get the world out of this nightmare and Arrest these 3 Idiots in the white house! Trump Vance and Musk... you have no much time left before things are going really bad!! stop them take the power away! or you will witness the end of USA and rise of chaos and terror! Trump and his gang are a cancer for democracy! stop them before they destroy you! or is it too late already?

Trudeau shouldn't be making ANY speeches in his position. He should be packing up and leaving office so we can start to rebuild Canada without him. He's already agreed that he failed the Canadian people and he's the reason the US is putting tariffs on us.

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.
