Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

Proud of Justin Trudeau of saying what needs to be said. As an American, I'm embarrassed by the way our government is behaving. This needs to stop! This bullying and chest puffery is only going to be our demise.

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

Ya see All of these Decades of bullying, plundering, colonizing, and imperializing other countries, Has finally caught up to the United States of America and it’s system. In 2002, the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Now that the rest of the world is fed up with America and its colonizing bullying Ways, The nations are pulling together and moving on without the toothless fangless , Non-venomous snake called the United States of America. And there’s nothing that we here in America can do about it! SIGN UP FOR BRICS CANADA ! You’ll be just fine!

If Canada has more pipelines to the west coast to market our oil and gas to Asia, then Trump cannot bully us.\nWe are this predicament because of the Liberal policy. I will vote for PP come this election. Carney is weak.

American from New Mexico .... you are so very reasonable,,,, most Americans don't want this and we understand that you have to take the position you have taken ... many of us are already sick and tired of the bully and his chum in the White House ... stay strong and do what you have to for your people ... great respect for you ... J'ai plusieurs cousins dans Quebec et je sais que ceci n'est pas bon pour eux aussi .... nous ne sommes pas vos enemis ... ils habite la Maison Blanche ...Courage it bonne chance

America, wake the feck up. Why do you put old, rich men in charge of your future? You go from one man who isn't far from being in a care home, to a man not that much younger but is a crude, reckless, arrogant, divisive bully?\n\nTake a look at the leaders of Canada and European countries, people who are put there because of talent and quality and ability, not because they are rich.\n\nHonestly, wake up and change your messed-up political system.

Trump is a bully. He knows that Canada is vulnerable. Trump wants the Auto industry in Canada moved to the U.S.. This will increase the cost of vehicles in the U.S. Trump does not care. If he can harm Canada he will be pleased. He wants to control Canada.. Canada is guilty of not arranging an alternative to the Keystone pipeline. The U.S. refineries need the Canadian heavy oil. If Canada had created pipelines to Vancouver they would be in a better position but as it is Trump wins.

Great message Trudeau! We in Europe stand with Canada! If the bully wants to cut ties with his allies, let him. Hope we can do lots of business together and help eachother!

I wish people would call trump what he is; a bully.

Trump just being a bully, tryna force Canada to become the 51st state

The audacity and disrespect, bullying behaviour of Trump saying that Canada should be 51st state of the US. Trump is definitely siding with Putin, and mirroring his behaviour and ideology. It's outrageous! Ppl need to start rallying and protest

Can not handle listening to anything that Trudeau says , he has lied to Canadians and bullied Canadians for too long.\nSuddenly, after he resigned he is trying to be a hero. His policies and actions have put Canada in the situation that its in .\nLooking forward to him being GONE .

Trump has no relationships. Don’t be bullied.

Bravo Canada from an American. Trump is a coward and a bully.

Canada strong!!! We must not let the orange moron bully us.

The new global bully, the USA making demands of other countries all over the planet. What is the US offering in return - Nothing. Only Chaos.

he can bully him because he is weak . JT leave the office and let Pierre handel him

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

We hear you. It is so sad that the bullies in the White House will ignore you. ❤

Now the whole world sees that you cannot trust the U.S. Hopefully someone close to Trump will knock some sense into him. This is a bad idea ! After 4 years if high inflation, Trump is making things worse for the poorest with thess tariffs. If the U.S stands alone on the world stage, they will look like stooges because nobody likes a bully.

F*ck Drump and his voters. Now we all have to suffer through it. I'm so proud of Canadian. Good job for standing upfor your country and for your people. This is how an intelligent growth adults speak. No yelling,no lies,no bully.

Trump is a Loser Pathological Liar Bully, WHO NEEDS TO BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY WITH HIS OWN MEDICINE, IF TRUMP IS UGLY AND DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR ALLIES FRIENDS, OUR ALLIES NEED TO TREAT TRUMP THE SAME, IT IS A DOUBLE EDGE SWORD. AMERICANS WILL DEMAND THE FAT ASS TRUMP RESIGN!

As a good friend of a bully You sent your kids to be killed in wars they have nothing to do with, killing millions of innocents ,displaying millions , shall we feel sorry for you ?

Sorry but I disagree with Trudeau. The word Smart is never associated with Trump. Only words like stupid, dumb, bully, racist and narcissistic described him.

It's about bullying and control. Trump wants to side with Putin. Maga you better wake up because Trump and Musk DONT CARE ABOUT US.

For the first time, I salute PM Justin Trudeau. You have shown courage and struck Trump head-on. Without any fear, you have taken a powerful and firm stance against his polices. You made it clear that we are not afraid of his bullying. We are ready to fight this war with strength, resilience, strategy, and unwavering determination. But his polices will only hurt both countries. Smarten up, Trump!!

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.

Trudeau is speaking to the American people. You need to speak to the orange moron and cronies. Oh that's right you can't because he is a closed minded bully. \n\nHey Orange man! You are only fooling your lackies. Everyone else sees what you are really doing. Setting up your buddies to run these systems you are man handling from the Ukraine.

It is quite apparent that bluffs and bullying are not good approaches in dealing with our close allies. We have put the United States in a very shameful standing around the world. I just don't know what is exactly we are doing. Our economy is showing decline and we are losing our friends. So what is the expected end game here?

No bullies in canada. Proud to be canadian

i bet trump is appalled at how united the countries citzens who is trying to bully are. After all in america if you have a opinion, whether political or not, that varies from another your either called a liberal or a replulican. Man trump is only speeding up ameirca's downfall

Add Paula Newton to the list of people that I'll quit watching CNN when they pop up, along side Scotty boy. I don't abide people who blame the victim when they are getting hit by the bully.

Very well said! It's time for nations to stand up to Trump, a pedophile rapist bully with 32 felony convictions, and a rape charge..

Good for you Canada!! No one should deal with a bully!! Trump has hurt our government can’t anyone see this!!!!!!!!

I like the way Trudeau addressed this moron directly!!! This is how you deal with a bully!!

Bravo Canada, bravooooooo. Don't allow anymore Trump to bully anyone :)

I’m glad Canada is fighting back, don’t let this bully Trump hold anything over your head!

Americans will lose big time. Everything Trump touches disintegrates he is now doing this to the US economy. He's making Americans poorer all for his own ignorance and cruel bullying.

If you all believe that this is actually about fentanyl or the border - you're totally naive. Just look at the attacks being undertaken by Trump and Vance towards their allies around the world. This is abouts severing ties, and trying to assert dominance over its former friends. To declare the US the biggest bully in the schoolyard. This is Vladimir Putin's playbook - and his wildest dreams come true. It will only serve to isolate and weaken the US. As a Canadian - very proud of Trudeau's direct, honest comments.

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Great speech, with no stupidity or bullying! I wish you were our leader!

We cannot keep this up , everything changes with the flavour of the day, how can we put billions into projects WITH APPROVALS !! only to get them cancelled with the next flavour of the day, it,s bullying, nobody can trusts this whimsical way of going about business , especially dealing in billions of $$ , long term Canada HAS to diversify and then there won,t be the crazy discounts to oil\\ ngas and the massive profits made on refineries, so silly..

This is how a leader acts and talks. Trump is a screaming, bullying toddler in comparison.

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

Couldn’t agree more. I hope we can repair the damage caused by Trump. We know that Trump is making up excuses to place tariffs. I don’t know what is in this for Trump— other than liking to bully our allies and the US people.

WE SALUTE U TRUDEAU!!!!! STAND UP FOR TRUTH AND UR COUNTRY....DON'T LET AMERICA BULLY U BECAUSE HER COUNTRY FALLING IN THA DUST BECAUSE THEIR CORRUPT.....?

Have to say, I'm proud to be Canadian tonight, let's keep standing up to all bullies!!

I'm so sick of trump and he just starting why don't the Republicans do something with their scared asses he's a bully and there scared of his orange ass
