Im Canadian....not that I agree with the tariffs, but this POS Trudeau has shut down government the last 2 months. Nothing is getting done. He has time to fly to Ukraine but no time to sit down and hammer out a deal with the USA. He has caused all the issues Trump has complained about. He has destroyed our country from within. He is the worst neighbor a country can ask for. Weak leadership. Porous unsecure border. Weakest military of any first world nation. And a disciple of China. He is ALL OUR ENEMY!

This clown is definitely in the running for one of the weakest most pathetic leaders ever. And for all you “Americans” siding with Canada and theft from the American tax payers, you should move to Canada since your weak minds fit right into Canadas weak minds. \nFor the clowns threatening to do more business and side with Europe, go ahead. You probably should ask Ukraine about how helpful Europe really is!!

all were asking for is level playing field

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

I would say if you stop the flow of drugs into our country like Trump asked you to do and tighten up the border. There would be no problem whatsoever at all, but you say you’re an honest person and you want to get along with everyone well, just stop the drugs from coming in in East Terrace won’t be on there. Trump hasn’t seen any easing up on that border over there and things would be back to normal so it’s it’s sad he had to do that but then your retaliating and what does it do it does nothing yes Canada is gonna suffer and we’re gonna suffer here in the United States all because of your stubbornness and hardness I’ve seen over the years how you text the hell out of your own Canadian citizens and that’s why they don’t like you there, but that has nothing to do with it so

This is the wakeup call we as Canadians needed. We became too complacent. Too dependant on USA. And we have to ask ourselves, how can we continue to run the 2nd biggest country in the world with one of the weakest militaries?

Then make sure the border is secure. If he asks trump what can we do then he should respond with a clean border. Should be super easy for Canada to do.

I'd love to see MAGA explain this one... Canada did exactly what the president asks to avoid tarriffs and now what? Make America harder to live in because the cost of everything is increasing..... because of what? DEI? Some other Don Quixote windmill they want to fight?? I get fired at work if I don't make data-based decisions and make a clear case for why I am doing something. This administration has yet to explain why this is necessary. Show us the 'bad deal' we are getting, explain why it is bad... No more campaign rhetoric.

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

I'm an American!!! I didn't ask for this!! I love Canada. I want peace

ASK YOURSELF WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO ISOLATE WHY. TO HARM OR DESTROY YOU. THINK ABOUT IT.

Trudeau close our boarder,that was asked of you.

How can one man ruïn a nation,ask the dumb people to vote for them with the help of dumb media (cnn)??

I wanted to hear the questions he was asked not your dumb pundits

Why won't they investigate why he had to sign in NDA with a student when he got fired from being a drama teacher? Something someone should ask a Prime Minister for the sake of journalism

President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

If only JT had cared about his people for the last several years you may not have ended up in this situation. He screwed up Canada and now everyone is applauding him? Canadians are not polite, they only pretend to be, and then viciously turn and attack. You're all acting like the 30 year old still living in his parents basement that has been asked to pay rent or move out.

He should have asked how Trump's wife is.

This is like lending money to a friend or family member for years and you asking for your money back and they get upset over it. Lol

Why does this sound more like asking for a pardon or an apology than standing firm on tariffs? ?

Somebody has to stand up to this punk bully Donald. Zelensky already did it. Vance got on his fox news platform and claimed that Zelensky insulted an idiot like trump in their own house? Really? He asked an innocent question and answered your dumb questions on camera.

Canadian Should ask USA to Guarde their bother, We Canadian don't want any gun Traffice from USA

After this speech Trudeau will come back! Canadians will ask him to.

Canada we are so sorry. Honestly im not asking for anything. Dont take his shit. Just please know we all dont feel like this orange fool. Please remember us in 3 years and 10 months

What a HORRIBLE feeling it is to be targeted this way by a big ugly SOCIOPATHIC criminal!!! I am in tears. This is the most depressing, surreal, gut punch. ALL BECAUSE HE IS AFTER OUR HOME SOIL … LITERALLY. He is even more evil than Putin if you ask me.

Can I say I am not a huge fan of Trudeau, but I take my hat off and say bravo for this speech. Calling Putin a 'lying, murderous dictator' is absolutely correct. In recent days all Trump's YES people when asked direct simply questions like 'Was Russia and Putin responsible for the invasion of Ukraine', simply can't bring themselves to answer anymore. We talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome, well all these Trump ring kissers are suddenly suffering from Putin Infatuation Disorder, one of the key symptoms being an inability to criticise or apportion wrong doing or blame on Putin. Bravo again Trudeau for being blunt, honest and direct, this orange ape needs to go.

Donald doesn't even know how to speak like this. He's an embarrassment. Mr. PM Trudeau, we didn't ask for this either.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

I wish someone would ask these illegal aliens WHY THEY ARE COMING TO AMERICA

Reporters are like some NPCs. Palestinian world land is in apocalypse and its obvious to everyone who did it. Yet they ask questions that sound and are as stupid as someone who is programmed in a video game to say something regardless of circumstances.

You missed the fentanyl money laundering that occurs in Canada's housing - No questions asked houses paid with cash from fentanyl profits.

Your narrative about existing homeowners being in opposition to policies that support home construction is bogus. \n\nThe real story is the following:\n\n1. Canadians are unsure whether building more homes leads to more housing and lower prices. This might sound like a joke but there are now surveys that confirm this. And most Canadians I have asked myself really are unsure whether we should build more homes.\n2. Endless bureaucratic barriers increase the cost of and deter new construction.\n\n\nMany Canadians really believe that building housing increases the price of housing, so they think they are being virtuous when they vote for policies that deter housings construction.\n\nAll of the other economic problems are downstream of the housing shortages.\n\nEdit: For those of you curious about these strange Canadian beliefs, the youtube “About Here” has a decent video on the topic trying to dispel the odd beliefs: https://youtu.be/pbQAr3K57WQ?si=j5l_vWiudz45fiGr

Please ask Sam Cooper to come on your show!

Stupid question my the Western stupid Media. Why they have to leave and ask for refugee since they are home. A reporter who asked this question should ask herself if she would ask from her neighbor shelter although she has a house to live? Stupidity at its highest.

Ask him are you concerned on your country?

Does anyone know who was that reporter asking questions in support of ethnic cleansing?

How dare she ask such a question?

Is she still in the USA? Just asking

Good luck with Dictator Trump, just ask President Zelensky of Ukraine ?

Instead of trying to cross American boarder. Why not rally to their government and ask why they can't give them a better life.

Could you ask him if they have anymore operatives in the US that only want ro know how to take off while learning how to fly a plane?

Hey news anchor Why are you asking question with these all Arab countries how come you're not asking weather regular Palestinian

Really smart n knowledgeable man . The question should be asking is “ why wouldn’t UK n USA take most or the unwanted Jews to settle on their lands?”

Canadian doctors don’t want to communicate with their patients by email or phone because they want us go in person so they will get paid. You cannot call in and ask to repeat a medication either you have to go in and visit them in person so they can get paid. My last visit to my family doctor presented like 8 missed appointments with her and wanted\n me to pay.? I asked where did you generate those from? She claimed the system.?‍♀️ I ended up paying for one only which was a physical app. I knew about and she waved the and still make mi paid.

If America is such a racist country why are Africans clamoring to come here doesn't make any sense at all these type of questions should be asked to the Liberals when they keep pushing their racist narrative now I would simply asked the question If America is so racist why are Africans coming here in droves and doesn't that make some claim that America is better than Africa if they want to come here

Canadian customs don't do shit they fly into Canada the Customs officers are Jeets so they ask no questions then they cross into the States illegally. Trudeau don't care.

Hello ma, I started my application fews weeks and I wish to ask you a question ma, please can you tell me how much do I need to own as proof of funds?\n\nThere is a question they asked me: in which current country or territory of residence are you applying from? What should be my response, I'm currently in the UK and applying as a Nigerian. Should I put Nigeria or the country in currently in? \n\nPlease, I need your advice ma?

Who is this Journalist asking such a foolish question??

This is the dumbest question ever asked

He speaks facts and wish people would stop asking others to take the Palestinians off their land
