Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

Trump said he is going to fight back even stronger…this is really scary…thanks Justin you have been a great Prime zminister during very difficult times..GodBless

Trump is really shafting America

Well done Donald,you really stepped in it .

I really saddened by my country ?

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

I always know the day would come when the fascade of decency the US has put up for centuries would be stripped away and they would be exposed for what they really are. A criminal, gen o cidal, greedy, back stabbing and immoral nation of European colonizers who do not belong to the Americas.?

I really wonder how the Trump voters feel right now.

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

Getting tired of Trudeau and Trump speaking for both countries and the citizens of both countries.\nWhile World leaders fight for power the ordinary citizens of both countries suffer the consequences of their actions.\nIf Trudeau really cared about Canadians he could start by eliminating the Carbon Tax.

They are friends behind closed doors! \nWake up people your being played its how they stay in power and wealth and you stay in poverty and hardship fear and worry.\nSeriously guys are you really that stupid to believe the nonsense you see on the tv and radio,

This man announced his resignation in almost 2 months ago, then prorogued parliament, then backed the other WEF globalist dude immediately available even though never once elected to public office, and is now speaking on behalf of a country he has never really supported at all.\nHe reads a good speech, that was written by a speech writer, but his past decade of actions haven't been pro Canadian.\nCanada will be fine. With or without Trudeau, Trump or any other narcissistic politician that loves the sound of their own voice.

It's really obvious that /trump is on bed with Putin. They have some back door deal going on for personal enrichment and art of that deal is for /trump to destabilize the free world and it might even be necessary to do that to close their deal. Trump isa very sick individual. No sane person would do his.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

It is really hard to believe that Trump isn't a russian asset, considering that he constantly goes after his own people, country and allies.... He is going after everyone who is standing in the way of Russia and (American) oligarchs (FBI, nuclear weapons etc.), ignoring all existing laws

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for really trying to help.

As an American, i hope that the world does react to the United States as Canada has. And even worse. I hope that things for us get as bad as it gets because anything less will be ignored or brushed off as anyone elses fault. I want Americans to really understand what a horrible mistake they made in Donald. But my hopes or not, this seems very likely to be the case anyway.

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a collar and lead, definitely his yappy little Handbag dog..!!!

I normally can’t listen to him (or most politicians, honestly) without significant eye rolling, but every once in a while he really nails it ??

Yo Trump, Canadians are wild, bro. They may be polite and all but not in a fight. They know how to fight dirty… like really dirty. Buckle up American! Ol’ boy Trump gonna get us in a big mess.

One thing, the wait is over, no longer hanging over our heads. We know what he really wants our resources, our fresh water, access to the Northwest Passage.\n\nGit 'er done Cannucks, git 'er done.\n???TNSF???

Canada really messing up here

He is really a great politician and president\n\nF Trump-Americans

If you think what Trump is doing is great. Please explain, I really want MAGA to explain

Trudeau is an idiot. He's been sticking to the US for 4 years. Theirs really nothing I buy from Canada. We will start making our own products.

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

I wish we had a president like that, i really miss Biden . He may have been old but damm his economy kicked ass.

you know whats really sad. that president can speak 2 languages, our president cant even speak 1 XD

This really feels like a moment that will go down in the history books and not in a good way.

I really don't see where Trump is a very smart guy he is very stupid and dumb not Smate. We are Canadian, and we will stand strong and together ??????????

I actually am a fan of trump and I think he’s a strong person who will stand for the country, but what he is doing with these tariffs are gonna have long lasting effects on our country company’s will raise prices on products to make up for loss profits and that will harm who? Yes it’ll harm us the consumers somebody really needs to sit down and talk with trump before he makes a poor decision, tariffs are very easy and quick to be put onto a country but taking away tariffs not so much

Well, I feel like there's a pretty good chance mine and thousands of other jobs will hit Ontario hard when they move south of the border. Ontario is about to be hurting really, really bad as Trump comes for all our auto manufacturing jobs.

Trump definitely is destroying republican party.I’m ashamed that voted Donald Trump.I really thought that he’s gonna be diferent one in 2024.

That's really what Trump wanted. No matter the efforts on the border and stopping fentanyl. What have Trump done to stop fentanyl in the US or what have he done to help people get out of their drugs addictions. Have he done an amazing job on that? I don't think so. Does he really care about that or is it just a pretext to just do what he wants.

A summer of austerity for 36 million Canadians vs a summer of austerity for 365 million Americans. Good luck. I am really curious about what the MAGA and other Americans will do next.

I think it's ridiculous that news reporters get on Company time and brags about and describe their lives like us watchers really give a shh

Good response by Justin. Exactly what you want from a leader. Yet, most of the country can't wait to get rid of him. I really am not overly confident about the Liberal replacement or who will ultimately be running the country.

This is really gonna kill a lot of small online businesses that do commerce with the United States. We have a small stationary company that is just gonna die.

Everybody understands but nobody really speak about Trump being hooked by Russian FSB former KGB back in 80s. His order is to destroy alliances in the western world, dissolve European Union, weaken the US. The best agent Russia ever has had.

I am a proud Canadian here, i really thought that was a good speech from our prime minister and as a strong country. WE WILL BEAT THIS. STRONG AND FREE CANADA ?? ?

This is a really a very consistent comment. As you compaire this with the insane nazi retoric of agent orange ...a world of difference.

Man if Canada has all these minerals, I'm not sure it'll stay safe for long\n\nespecially since all of it's big population centers are so close to the US border\n\nI really really really hope I'm wrong

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

Is USA really a democracy when 1 man can ruin the centuries long friendship between 2 countries...

Canadian is already really hurting. They say they are there for their citizensyet offer euthanasia for being depressed because they’re in poverty. Justin speaks about dictators yet he is a dictator too.

As a Canadian thank you to everyone in the comments from other countries showing your support! It really helps us keep going ??❤

Annex Canada! Not really a country!

I'm with Mr. Trudeau on this one. Anybody with at least two brain cells...do you disagree? What the hell is wrong with people that would believe in this scum. How do you know if dump and muskrat really have your back? It sucks to be you. This is almost unbelievable. Pops, sorry, you go for this puke, I'm out and you have nothing to offer me. I don't need anything from you or your business or anything you wanted me to have that has blood money all over it. I'm a child of God's before your sperm donation. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAD. Congratulations on paying more for stock thanks to these idiots. If you are not for me, you ARE against me. I call bullshit on every single MAN on earth, including ME!

It is time to understand Trump only exposes pretext that aren't really his concerned he just want to have an excuse to do what he wants to do and this is grabbing some resources punching external allies etcetera it is time to understand that nothing will please Donald Trump government so it is time to bypass America this is very sad for some of us that have made business with American businesses and companies it is not easy it is not good to overnight rethink everything because of that guy in the White House
