Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We are trying to get rid of this maggot on America’s society. I am proud to say my neighbor flies a Canadian with the American ??.

Trudeau lol. Its like the Pope saying he's toconverted Islam.\nTrudeau's and out and out liar. \nWe all know that. \nBlah blah blah

So basically Trudeau is saying Trump is imposing these tariffs for no reason? I doubt that, and look at how the so called allies are turning against the USA so easily. Good thing we don’t need them.

well said trudeau...i say that as an american

Wow, I love the way Trudeau is honest with his people. America can't say the same. One thing Canada has is a leader who is for them. America is about to see how big a difference that actually makes in such times. We're divided while they're together.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American all I can say is we are sorry for the action of our President. The man is a deranged psychopath. No logical discussion of our mutual trade benefits will have any impact on a dysfunctional and insane individual such as our President, a man whose name shall not be spoken.

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

You say this Trudeau at the same time people are blaming you for your country’s economic failures. Like trump said “ we don’t need you lumber, oil, cars, and milk” . Let that sink in.

Who cares what Trudeau says-- he resigned and will be out of office very soon. He has an all time low approval rating and does not represent what Canadians feel. Can't wait until he's gone, good riddance.

As an American, I want to say You go Trudeau! A trade war is lunacy.

Says the dictator Justine Trudeau who invoked illegal laws against his own people.what liar toe bag his father was Fidel Castro

Trudeau lies! Trump is by no means 'smart' in any way whatsoever. I'd say he's as dumb as a rock, but I'd be insulting some of my igneous friends.

Canadian here; Trudeau spent the last decade ruining Canada, destroying peoples quality of life, flooding the country with cheap labour & being compromised by rival nations. Judge a person not by what they say, but what they have done.

Coming from Northern California wine country in Calistoga California, I say I am with you Mr Trudeau thank you for standing up to trump who is very insane god speed

I wish Trudeau would not say America but say Trump...

I’m sad to see Trudeau be replaced at a time like this. He’s at his best in a crisis. Say want you want about him, this guy loves his country.

President Trudeau, don't worry, all Americans I have seen say they don't want this either, but they understand your response and they commend you for it. So don't feel guilty for doing your job.

Trudeau is a WEF idiot. His dictatorial crackdown during covid was second only to Australia. \nHow and why people listen to,or believe anything he says is beyond me. Canada is beautiful and the vast majority of its people are wonderful but Trudeau is... Really !

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

As a Canadian who is not really supporting Trudeau, I am going to put this inside matter aside for a moment and say great speech sir!

Why does Trudeau need to bullshit Trump by saying that he is a smart guy. He should speak the truth and call him an a- hole

Well done Trudeau , you are showing your genuine love and character by saying what is right only for the Canadian people and for this very beautiful country Canada. \nStanding with Canadians at this difficult time. Great nations face great challenges and come out of them as united and heads high

?Trudeau is a bad joke and worse, a liar. Trump demands secure borders to protect our citizens. Trump is establishing RECIPROCAL tariffs to improve our economy in a fair and just manner. Trudeau says Canada is “polite,” but the hockey game between us proved otherwise. Canada is a neighbor we can live without. \nHopefully Canada will return to sanity, common sense and decency under new leadership and we can resume previously held good relations with our Northern neighbors.

I hate saying I am a American BUT I am so very proud of Trudeau and I think once Canada turns off it's power to America and turns off the gas line Canada can have frump by the balls which needs to be done and ASAP .. GOD BLESS CANADA

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

As a Canadian who could never stand Trudeau, even his face is annoying to look at, I must say he gave a great speech here. I even even liked Trump for many years and now am so disgusted by him.

As a Canadian, I am not a big fan of Trudeau but I must say this was a good speech. Too bad Donald doesn’t care. BTW Maker’s Mark is one of my favorite brands. I guess I will have to quit it at least for a while. ?

With Trudeau on his way out, involved with no more negotiations, he can say it like it is. Love it! Love Doug Ford too. Canadas premier! Wish more would do the same.

I would say Mr Trudeau stay in your country i do not want anything from Canada

Every time Trudeau says “your government” he should be saying “Trump”. Trump does not deserve the respect to be called President.

repugs are NOT Americans. Trudeau and most Canadians know this. He should say this OUT LOUD!! \n \nREPUGS ARE NOT AMERICANS! REPUGS ARE NOT AMERICANS! REPUGS ARE NOT AMERICANS! REPUGS ARE NOT AMERICANS!

NEWS FLASH !! President Trump stopped all shipments of military equipment to Ukraine....A few hours later..... Zalinski has just messaged that he wants to sign the mineral deal with president Trump..He regrets how the meeting went at the White House. and he wants peace as soon as possible... Canada...all you have to do is STOP THE FENTINAL..and INVASIONS OF ILLIGALS.stop trusting Trudeau. He is leaving..He has been a dictator with your truckers and farmers. President Trump says Canada has to do more to secure its borders...and it DOES.

I will say as much as i hate Trudeau, who ever made his speech did a good job

You're a dick head Trudeau. You have been a plague on our Country. You have ruined our country, so you are just a hypocrite when you come and say this. You have never done anything good for the average Canadian citizen

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

Bla Bla Bla Justin Trudeau is a clown and the worst PM in Canadian History. He says there is no fentanyl but they just legalized cocaine to some pharma companies in the US and they allow safe supply sites in school zones.

Trudeau says “there are no winners in a trade war” haha but there are losers let’s see whose economy is bigger ??

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

I say another term for prime minister Trudeau!

I'm waiting for trump to come out and say Trudeau started the invasion of Ukraine.

This vaccine mandating weasle has something to say back? Go ahead and try it, Trudeau.

Way to go, Trudeau. Say it straight up. Even the Wall St Journal says what you're doing Donald, is dumb.

Thank you Trudeau for saying what many many Americans want to say!

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

President Trudeau, Black America believes every word you're saying. We have always fought for this country even though this country has never fought for us. It is White America that is tearing down this democracy to maintain white supremacy. White America has done this. The numbers don't lie. Unfortunately, all Americans will suffer.

I'm irritated. Re Trudeau's speech this morning, I want to comment on it. I want to say that I'm not a Trudeau fan, but his response to Trump this morning was excellent and I'm impressed. However... EVERY damn CBC YouTube page has comments turned off. WTF?

Who cares what Trudeau has to say , he has Canada on its ass

Say about Trudeau what you will, but that was a great speech!

I’m on the fence about Trudeau, but I must say, this is a great, direct, and necessarily blunt speech. ??
