Americans: remember what it's like to have a smart person for president. Cohesive speech, no bullying, no name-calling, no stupid analogies, no n4z1 billionaires making all the decisions...

That was MY Prime Minister speaking. I'll give him his credit, that he was very polite and reserved in his choice words. More than %40M other Canadians aren't so compelled to behave. Remember that, when you cross the border.

Remember: MAGAts voted for this.

Remember, America, YOU appointed that man as your president. YOU said that he was the most qualified to do that job. What now?

This is the Justin Trudeau I remember! Merci!

Hey America.... Remember when Trump said he would bring prices down on day one? That was just another lie! ?

Please remember Trump did NOT win the popular vote. The majority of us do not stand with Trump. God help us all. We stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. We do not stand with Russia, China, or N Korea.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

Stupid leader …,we don’t need Canada. Canada needs us !!! Remember it !

So very proud of my Prime Minister and my fellows Canadians ?????????? always Canadian ❤ . « Je me souviens «  We will remember

Felon 47 is a monster and a traitor. There are no more words to describe this moron and his malevolence. To all our Canadian friends, remember that half of the US hates this disgusting man and rejects everything he stand for.

Remember we didn’t all put that crazy maniac in power. The idiots that put him in power will be to blame as businesses close and we all loose our jobs. Pray for America.

I seem to remember a certain presidential candidate predicting this and people thought she was exaggerating.....

Trump will back off these tariffs like he did in 2018. Remember this isnt some economic genius, he’s a an egotistical reality TV guy who has failed/bankrupted every business and relationship/partnership in his entire life.

Trudeau is nothing and nobody to us. He's not our Prime Minister. Remember when he supposedly stepped down? Then he shut down the government and removed all checks and balances and accountability. You're in bad shape if you have to pull this doofus up to take a swipe at your own president. Why don't you report on what this weak puppet has done to his own country.

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

Lets remember thats its trudeau that take us where we are right now and not trump

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

Just remember, American did not approve this. Trump did all his doings, big fat jerk.

remember when this guy was forcing people to get vaccinated and arrested people for going to church during covid. you all are sheep!

Well spoken! This is a leader. Unlike the U.S. We gotta deal with what was voted into Office. This is my opinion, remember like you have your own.

Im a canadian who has spent the last two years hating that man. But god. When shit like this pops up i remember that he is atleast an actual leader. Agreed with every word.\n\nWe will meet you in the economic trenches americans!

Remember. \n\nTRUMP have only bankruptcy behind him , USA is next. \n\nOnly thing keeping him alive is his SUGARDAD Elon. ??

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Dear Canada, Please remember that only half of us voted for this monster, and we'll be back in four years, or maybe even two.

You have many options for allies. Remember that Trump made China stronger when he banned Huawei in the US. Take this tariff aggression as a challenging opportunity to overcome and grow.

I am an American, please stand together. Our country is not and I am sure it shows. We here in the states need to gain control of our Rogue Government and it will not be easy. Many of our citizens have been removed from the voting roles and many politicians have been bribed or threaten into submission. We have a hard road ahead to gain back our country ... please remember, most Americans understand and would not choose to harm any of our friends and neighbors.

UK and Europe will always be your friend, Canada. We remember what you have done historically.

So much for American exceptionalism. Remember that?

As a leader, you are never remembered for what you compromised on. You are only remembered for what you stood for. When it comes to passion, purpose, and causes, there are ideas we are willing to live by, but as a leader, there are causes and beliefs we are willing to die for. \n You are a great leader Trudeau, not a liar but a man of integrity.\nDr Charles Holloway PhD

Trudeau calling Trump *smart* after he referred him as *Governor Trudeau* , is an ultimate virtue of a political leader who always remembers that he has the entire nation on his shoulders.

Déjà vu anyone?! \nOn March 15, 1939, Hitler summoned Emil Hácha, the president of Czechoslovakia, to Berlin. \nAs he entered the Reich Chancellery, Hácha was ordered to sign a document accepting the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia by German troops. In the room, Goering added that – if he did not sign – Prague would be bombed by the Luftwaffe, which was in position and awaiting orders. \nStunned by Hitler’s presence and his yelling, Hácha had a heart attack; he was quickly given an injection that brought him back to life and, with what strength he had left, he signed. \nThen, waving the document hysterically, Hitler told his two secretaries, Christa Schroeder and Gerda Daranowski: “This is the happiest day of my life. What some have struggled in vain to achieve for centuries, I was fortunate enough to achieve immediately: the unification of the Czech Republic with the Reich. Hácha signed the agreement. I will always be remembered as the greatest German in history.” \nThe scene is recounted by Ian Kershaw, in his biography of Hitler. \nTwo hours later, the German army was crossing the border into Czechoslovakia. \nHácha was arrested in 1945, after the liberation, and convicted of collaborationism. \nHe did not get to serve any years in prison; he died a few weeks later, in June 1945.

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

Trump is a liar and a cheat. He DOES NOT care!! Not sure when people will really realize that. These tariffs are just plain mean, unnecessary and DUMB!!!! And....remember, the GOP politicians put him here and will LIE WITH HIM. Good God!!!!

I remember worse relationships between the US and Canada. Did the Canadians conquer Washington at that time?

we still remember the covid and seizures account of the truckers who protested

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

Great for share markets and hedge funds, remember why shares were first set up! To fund wars for a certain few…\nPlace your bets……

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

To everyone that voted for Donald...look at what you've done to America and others around the world. History will remember this. When you go broke you'll only have yourself to blame. Sleep well.

Great speech. Try to remember, the President does not appear to play well with others. His ridiculous tariffs and annexation fantasies are absurd. I think the American people will push back against these policies.

To all the Canadians and Europeans in here talking smack about the United States remember how gay you are. WE DONT NEED YOU YOU NEED US!

Always remember the truck drivers and what this turd did.

SURE , SURE CANADIANS... TRUDEAU SAID THE GOVERNMENT WILL HELP YOUR JOBS ECT. REMEMBER HOW YOU'RE GOVERNMENT TREATED YOUR TRUCKERS NOT TO LONG AGO

As an American I want to apologize and encourage Canada to stay strong. Remember there are millions of us here in America that do not want this either and want nothing more than for this to all be a bad dream.

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

Everyone needs to remember that Canada and Mexico are both Americans to. Different countries, but the same continent. And oh...I don't believe that the United States electected the person that the thought they did. If you cannot defeat a nation that is far more powerful than your own nation, how will you accomplish it then. The country has been compromised.

Remember, lunatic MAGA voters voted for this. They were told this would happen and they refused to listen. Bunch of bigoted racist hateful assholes who ruined the American economy and its trade relations with its allies. Just know that tariffs are the least of your problems. The sentiment from across all American “former” allies is to completely boycott American goods and services. And that is not going away regardless of whether tariffs on either side are dropped. You want fascism, good for you. The rest of then sane west ain’t with you. Get rid of your pro Putin fascist Nazi saluting government, then we might be open for negotiations.

Remember the end game of all this - Tumpistan allied with Russia. That's what the MAGA cult voted for.
