Thank you for setting limits on the oligarchs! They understand nothing except money into the toll booths they've set up in the pathways to acquire products. They care nothing for the American people, let alone any other people. They are not interested in anything but disrupting and dismantling the US economy, as well as every other economy except Russian, so that they can THINK that they are controlling the world. As they are groveling at the feet of the Russian dictator, they are under the illusion that they will rule along side him. They will not and will be kicked aside as soon as they are no longer useful to him.

Canada is scared and it's trying to scare the American people with their Bluff

The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

So CNN hows the both sidesism to please dear leader working out for we the people? You have proven that a buck is worth more than democracy. The king has no clothes and the media jesters have no moral compass.

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

Canadian are very smart people and they will prevail in this fight. They are mostly bilingual from childhood and this is additional advantage. As a rule multilingual countries doing better then other countries.

That's how a true leader conveys his point to his people

I apologize for my country, half of the people of which seems to have been captured in a cult.

“Let that make sense.” None of this makes any sense. WTF is wrong with our neighbor? Why haven’t the people who have the power to stop this insanity doing nothing?

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

You don't need to speak to the American people you act like we have a say in what happens ?

The US did not slap tariffs on Canada, the boss of the US did it-against the American people’s best interest. Out of spite & a revengeful rotten soul.

This is how a Countries Prime minister acts and talks something Donald Trump could learn from. Well done, Canada and well done to the Canadian people.

That’s why Canada wins the war: they will look after the people that suffer, I imagine the Americans are expected to die on the streets ?

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!

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.

Trudeau now you're talking about the well-being of people in Canada what about when we had that thing where everybody had to get the shots you know the new normal since when do you care about the people in Canada?

Trump is the worst. How can everyone not see this. Are people really that stupid? I guess so, but his supporters stupidity shouldn’t be at the expense of the rest of us.

American people will suffer unfortunately now. Trump is out of control!

He talking facts and data to people that don't believe in facts and data. He's explaining the logic to people who aren't operating logically.

Greetings from UK, we are with you Canada. God bless you and the people who didn't vote for Trump. For those who did, who is responsible for all this un-American chaos? Utterly shameful, the world knew what a person Trump was, those of you who voted for him, you should have known better. May God help you in these trying times. Canada you have our support from the UK.

Everything will even out.\nWe, the normal people, will foot the bill.

I love that people are forgetting that Trudeau has financially nuked Canada. CNN reports less and less news each day.

I’m guessing because Trump has never had any real friends in his entire life..he won’t all Americans to have any either…? the upcoming Christmas is going to be a sad one for a lot of people. America needs a champion..and soon ??

Cnn derangement comment section in full swing. ?\nFunny how zelensky now wants to discuss peace instead of insisting on war. You people just demand that we further this conflict huh?

Why would people vote 4 trump

Awesome speech - kudos! It will be a hard, difficult road, but as Canadians NO backing down!! Sad but some people don’t understand friendship and cooperation!!

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

Trump just gave out 4.5 Trillion Dollars on Tax Cuts for the Rich Billionaires & 1.5 Trillion Dollars Spending Cuts from the American people's entitlements to pay the bill. Taking The People's Money

Trump is forcing good people to act in ways they would not normally.

I don't stand with a priminister who takes his peoples guns and freezes their bank accounts. I feel for their people. I've spent a lot of time in Canada, and I can say they never mess around at the border. I thought the tariff wasn't going to be levied against Canada. Not happy about it.

I'm from the US and I'm standing with Canadian people. Our current president is insane billionaire never know how to protect and lead our country.

Well done Trudeau speaking for your country Canada just the same as President Zelensky is speaking up for his country and people ❤

Isolationism won't serve USA well. Unless the president wants to drag the country into the dark ages where people die of diseases; natural calamities with the absence of any warning systems; women die during childbirth; and well if you still manage to survive, be prepared to defend yourself in the event of a school shooting! How ridiculous.

I know this economic war on Canada will be difficult enough already but I urge my friends north of the border to do their best to fund a massive military expansion as rapidly as possible. Trump is clearly setting the stage and manufacturing excuses so he can invade and force Canada into becoming his 51st state and he's not going to stop with just trying to cripple your economy. Don't make Europe's mistake of thinking Americans are honorable friends and allies who can be trusted to keep their word. We're nothing but a bunch of ignorant, nasty, greedy, white supremacists who hate every other people on Earth. As a US Army veteran, I am ashamed of my country's unprovoked brutality once again.

Oh give me a break! Canada has been right along with the U.S on becoming friends with murderous dictators. Saudi Arabia for one. All the middle east folks, the warlords etc. Don't be fooled. All those people up there are not looking out for your best interests.

President Donald Trump is listening to worried about Putin, he is listening for worry of the Russian people! ? HUMANITY

People who speak of Russia as it were the enemy obviously don't know the reasons why Russia had to defend itself moreover don't know who ZELENKSY really is, and what people your tax dollars is arming I will give you a clue: Azov.

“Let’s be clear Frenchman………\nPeople who actually serve my country are now being fired at alarming rates by rising oligarchs, and world traitors of international world trade….Those who will never set fire to the original constitution of the United States Of America nor will they break the humane will of the American people…”\n\nAs you were\n????‍?????‍⬛???‍?‍➡️?

Thanks Trudeau for standing by the Canadian people. Merci, et vous êtes notre Premier Ministre sans aucun doute.

Well done, PM Trudeau. This American stands by your choice. It was an excellent speech because yes, our government has indeed chosen this economic violence where we, The People, will suffer and the oligarchs will benefit without a care.

Awwwwwwwwww! Trudeau. Leave already. Resign. POILIEVRE IS IN THE BATTERS BOX PEOPLE.\n\nLet is hear from him now. Get the Pedophile off of the soap box.

This administration hasnt got the faintest idea with what theyre doing with our relationships with these countries. This trade war, i hope these countries will see it as only as a temporary setback that only reflects the currernt administration decisions and not us the people. Whoever comes into office next has a lot of cleaning up to do

Huge number of people here in the UK boycotting all products from USA until trump is ousted

This dude is a socialist that locked his people up during covid never forget

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

So,so sorry that the Canadian people will also be suffering ?!

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??
