No one in U.S respects Trudeau the same way most in Canada don’t. He’s just known as being an a horrible politician hear. I’ve never met one person Canadian who actually likes this guy

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!

Less than one percent illegal immigrants cross from Canada to the US Trudeau saying that’s a lie I see at least 60 people a day cross the border and get a ride to New York City

Trudeau has had many accusations thrown at him for many yrs and none of them positive. That said, I for one salute the first world leader to stand his ground, speak the truth and not pander to Trumps bullying strategy. I have not witnessed any other world leader speak in this manner. I’ve witnessed many leaders pandering to an ego that is unbelievably narcissistic and quite simply inexplainable to me. \n\nMr Trump, this is not a reality tv show this is reality! The slogan he created ‘Make America Great Again’ is quickly becoming ‘Making America Alone’.

Fentinol........... you have no idea how much is in our country , you just found one lab in BC . So how many more ? Keep talking Trudeau

Watching here from Canada, originally from the Philippines, I am so proud of our Prime Minister Juatin Trudeau, person with sense, compassion, articulate, and mostly a Good Person, with President Zelensky not a Dictator One. God Bless.

PM Minister Trudeau said one thing wrong. The orange Hitler is not smart. Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

I disagree on one point. Donnie is not a smart man. I realize Trudeau was just being diplomatic though.

Trudeau, you are the one that created all this problem letting the immigration get out of control, prices go crazy up. Don't talk like you are a hero, you created this.

So glad Trudeau is the one in charge on this matter. He’s doing a good job.

PM Trudeau called trump smart....he reached WAY down for that one. These are NOT smart men moves. Kudos to Canada for NOT backing down.

I voted for Trump and a lot of his policies and actions I agree with, THIS one I do not, Canada did not let in NEARLY as many illegal immigrants as Mexico so it makes no sense why he is punishing them, and he isn't, he just doesn't like Trudeau probably because he was friends or friendly with Biden, same with Zelensky AND Canada wanted to ban products from red states for electing him which is frankly just a stupid policy. \nThis is not hard to figure out, Trump doesn't like Trudeau and Ford, plain and simple......it really is THAT shallow, he is trolling Trudeau by calling them the 51st state and anyone know knows Trump and how he thinks knows that.

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

As a Canadian i havent forgotten what Trudeau done to us. Trump did not ruin our economy Trudeau and his liberal government did. Remember Trudeau stepped down for a reason NO ONE WANTS HIM IN POWER

W don’t want this either Mr. Trudeau. I can’t thank you enough for carrying about the people, the ones that saw this coming and the ones who chose to ignore the facts. Thank you Canada and the other people of the world that are supporting and praying for us. ?

I think Trudeau is the only one fighting. Trump standing on business

Trudeau is right... Trump should be working with Canada... Trump should be working alongside Canada.... And Trump MUST make Canada the 51st state, to ensure this companionship. Together we shall be one!

As an American, all I need to know is that trump and VD vance support Vladimir Shitin and Russia. trump chose to break the trade treaty that HE signed and stated recently that it must have been made by a very STUPID President. I couldn't agree more! And Mr. Trudeau, there is one thing with which we disagree. I think trump is a VERY stupid person!

We just heard what he said, we know Trudeau is a rat, our provinces don't trade with one another once he is gone maybe we can get rid of them all. Many of us hate these guys anyway.

Dont like Trudeau but I have to say, great last speech. Trump is such a liar about fentanol from Canada. Good luck USA, you are in for one hell of a ride !

Wonderfully calm speech. One can listen to Trudeau. All the very best to Canada

Fact: Trudeau was the one Canadian who ruined Canada’s economy. Period!

As a Canadian, love or hate Justin Trudeau (I don't even like him as a centre left person), this may be one of his best speeches. Proud to be Canadian and happy to see support from our friends across the border! ??

Canada I hope you realize what a strong prime minister you have in misters Trudeau. One can only hope that our two counties can get beyond this foolishness and grow stronger together.

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

He is working like a true Demonrat. They lie blame for his own doing. Where was your friendship Trudeau when your corrupt friend Biden inflated the Americans people? You didn't want to meet with Mr. Trump (who you say is your friend) to make fair and balanced trade. That seems like a one-sided friendship and we are about COMMON SENSE. Trudeau, you are putting Americans and Canadians through this because you don't want to see that Mr. Trump just wants fairness and for some reason you want tariff wars. That's the truth and you need to start speaking truth and quit misleading people with lies! That's why the democrats have been defeated because they are corrupt and they lie to the people.

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

Trudeau is wrong on one important. Yrump is not a “very smart guy”. He has the intellect, emotions and thoughts of a very spoiled, bratty and angry 11 year old. He wants to be a superhero, but is actually a Creature from the Greed Lagoon.

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

Tariffs on Canada would likely reduce real gross domestic product to zero in 2025 if implemented beyond a year and lead to a 2% contraction in 2026 with a peak unemployment rate of more than 8%. Trump told Canada if you did TWO THINGS, there would be no tariffs on Canada. One, stop illegal immigrants from pouring into the USA from Canada. Two, stop illegal drugs from coming into the USA from Canada. Did Trudeau comply with President Trump's request? If so, there must be a lack of communication to verify what has transpired. If not, then Trump imposed tariffs for lack of compliance. Now, if Canada has already complied yet the Trump admin imposed tariffs anyway, then that is a slap in the face to our neighbors to the north and the American people should be outraged and let Trump know it.

Trudeau got one thing wrong. Trump is not very smart. Not even remotely smart

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Well at least Trudeau is not laughing so much today. One is no better than the other. This is about world Peace and they both cannot even talk without making a joke or insulting each other like two bullies in a playground.

Thank tou PM Trudeau. I'm against this. Trump and his minnions are the ones who want this.? l believe you.hes not my president. My flag is upside down.Canada .be well❤

I'm so embarrassed to be American. I'm angry at the millions who were dumb enough to vote even one time for a FOOLISH con man who's compromised by Russia and can't even read. I'm extremely proud of Canada and Trudeau. I hope somehow the president of the US and his echo chamber are removed from office. We'll never make it 4 years.

No one listens to Trudeau not even his own people lol?

God where can i get a leader like Trudeau, Romania really needs one!!!!! Awsome! love it! I want citizenship :)

Awesome speech by Tredeau, and im not a Trudeau at all. Best speech I've heard in a long while.\nAmerica got duped by Russia.... trump is on russia's side... a long time enemy. No one remembers russians as the bad guys? I do.\n They will brain wash USA for pro russian propaganda. Canada is also russias enemy.... russias knows this so they get trump in to attack canada so russia has better influence in the arctic with USA's backing.

One exception with what Trudeau said...trump is NOT a smart guy by any stretch ?

Buy produced and made in canada and we will survive this together, we are strong and proud of our country, no one can destroy us unless we give them power over us. Thank you Mr prime Minister Trudeau, together we will survive this.

From Europe: Great speech of Trudeau! One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

Trudeau spoke the truth. Except for one thing. trump is not smart. He is the stupidest man to ever be president.

A Canadian here who can't agree with the disparaging comments about Trudeau. He has done more good than some earlier Prime Ministers. Enjoying the new free dental coverage he just established? I disagree with him here though when he says Canadians don't hold this tariff thing against Americans. WE DO! You're the ones who elected this wrecking ball who destroys everything (and everyone) he touches. I encourage all our Europeans friends to buy Canadian whenever possible.

one of the strongest statements I have ever heard Trudeau deliver. Bravo!
