Blistering ? I had to wipe the estrogen off of my tv screen when he was done speaking

Well done Justin. Canada stands up to bullies and dictators.

This isn't stupidity, this is being done deliberately according to a plan orchestrated by enemies of the America's and Europe.\nTherefore Trump is an enemy of democracy. \nTrump: The man who broke the world.

It's no trade war, it's protectionnism. Something you should have done way before in your 10-year tenure. Also, he's not allying Putin, he's negociating on behalf of world peace. You don't get what you want by insulting people, so thinking Putin will cease fire and retreat if you call him names clearly isn't the solution. It hasn't worked for three years, why would that change now? Also, stop giving away our money to Zelenskyy. Sit this one out, Justin, we've had enough. Respectfully. They're 10 times bigger than us and we have no leverage whatsoever. Inflation is at an all-time high, people can't handle more. Please. I'm sure you're great outside of work, I'd share a beer anytime, but this has to stop. Please.

I agree with Trudeau. Everything the U.S. has done it has done to itself and the U.S. government is to blame for putting its own citizens at risk and jeopardizing the security of Americans by marginalizing domestic civilians to the role of consumer to the point that families get torn apart and homes get wrecked. Mark my words this U.S. government is a home-wrecker, not your faithful government servant that worked in the best interest of Americans alike from the Atlantic to the pacific coast.

Long as United States money is Flying out the doors everyone is Happy but soon as they find unfairness going on… They wanting to Blame President Trump .. He’s are last Hope to save United States because down the road there won’t be any money for other countries to beg for there’s none left …. CHANGE IS DIFFICULT… But it has to be done for United States

Just remember: You dumba$$ MAGA sheep voted for this. Well done.

Can we swap out the orange moron for Trudeau? Sounds like Canada will be done with him soon anyway.

Trudeau is an idiot and has destroyed our country. He's no longer Prime Minister. He resigned finally. He knows he's not wanted in this country. He refuses to leave office. Anything he says now is worthless. Anything he's ever said has only done damage to Canada.

How about we hear him in court has everyone forget what he's done and doing to Canada and using this turbulent time to try and save his sorry ass don't fall for it if he really cared we would have had a new PM long ago and sing would've got that pension and he's stepped down and closed parliament but still spending billions

Well done JT. Everyone is careful not to upset DT, but finally someone has said it straight. Trump is a bully and a liar. Trump cannot be trusted. Trump thinks the US does not need friends. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater but countries need to stand up to Trump and that complete idiot of a VP.

I’m sad my country has done this.

Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.

Just watch Trump will be blaming Biden for all this because Trump has no leadership no plan but to make rich people, richer! Do you maga supporters realize what you've done now. And how bad things are about to become in our country. I didn't vote for Trump but I'm going to have to suffer because of dumb idiot suckers like you. Thanks Maga for ruining my life because of your stupidity! ✌️

I am a proud to be a Canadian! I have not bought anything American since this crap has started. Justin Trudeau, you have really stepped up to the plate! Well done! You have proved you do love Canada, unconditionally! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??????????????

Well done Canada. Always our most closest friend and ally in North America! ?? ??

What can be done judicially to stop the insanity?

good job Trudeau. well done, Canada is behind you. this could be a blessing in disguise. Canada need to be more self sufficient.

I actually know Mr. Trudeau. Despite that, Well done sir!

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Well done Canada ????

Well done ?

Well done CANADA. You have spoken clearly, letting the American people know, that it is the TRUMP GOVERNMENT that is causing the TRADE WAR. Trudeau spoke like a FREIND & ALLI who will not accept anything to do with a TRUMP/PUTIN deal. This is how to deal with a BULLY & A PERSON WHO IS UNTRUSTWORTHY like PRESIDENT TRUMP.

None of this would have happened if American people didn't vote for Trump. Well done America.

As a Canadian. Don't believe a word coming out of this treasonous piece of crap. You're done. To sit there and call him Donald? This is how dumb this idiot is. God please help our country.

4 years to gain our respect back from the world.....only took the fool 4 weeks to blow it and lose THE ENTIRE WORLDS respect! Well done orange chunk.....

Canadians r sorry but we will make things hard for america and no one will be to blame but their president the walking orange pumpkin school yard bully, ? tarrif on Tesla woot woot, we r done with Musk making money on Canada, we r don't protecting America, joining their ridiculous wars and losing our own ppl for their benefit, they will see what elbows up means to a Canadian

Ok, forget the drugs. Take back your Canadian dimes and the tarrifs will stop.\n\nOn a serious note: the White House has done a poor job at explaining the tarrif discrepancy between our two nations.

American here supporting Canada and Mexico. I'm embarrassed by what that idiot has done and will continue to do sadly. Please know that not all Americans support this. In fact MOST of us don't, and we are standing with you.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

Saying attacking Canada is being done to keep the US safe sounds mightily like putin saying he had to attack Ukraine to keep Russia safe.

Great leadership qualities folks. I never thought he had it in him. ?. Well done Canada. Respect for not bowing down like other leaders. Be proud Canada. We are of him.

There is only 1 problem of this what happened right now.. This evil trum done.. To Ukraine Canada and Europe and US... Trump is poppet of devil putin ????

well-done Canada. Trump is living in another fantasy-world outside reality. Anyway, what do you expect from a dummie in power.

From the UK. So impressed. Well done Canada!

Well done Canada from the UK ????

If he really wanted to protect the people then why start AFTER the fact. He does this only because it’s gonna hurt but under Biden NOTHING was being done.

Well done Canada from your brothers and sisters across the pond. Naturally this is the only reciprocal response to such tariffs by adding ones of your own so I am not sure what Trump aims to gain from this.

Well done Donald!!! You have been in office for less than a trimester and already have more enemies than North Korea. What a great president!!

What have u done lately Trudeau I don't think so Canada is nothing without US???

I've always said, ole trump dumb as a stump. him and putrid, i mean putin are thick as thieves, and I don't trust the pair of them. something should be done about them both.

So many Trudeau Liberal supporters here. \n\nSo now people suddenly forget the damage he's done to Canada the last 10 years and think he's a good leader again? What a shame. This country cannot afford 4 more years of the toxic Liberal government. Wake up people! They will finish destroying the country if they win again.

Donald Trump wants to be like Putin. Americans, What have you done?

Just put the troops where you said you would. Done.

True what trudeau said. However! Trump has NO idea that he was put in place to rise these problems. He will hold hands with the evil north but he dosnt realize that putin will, ( and hes done many times ) to others attack his country. Russia WILL attack the USA. Laugh Trump but this has been in place even before you were born. You can keep this notice for future reference. No country is safe. None. So. Trump. Go have another meeting with that person in that city that thinks its above God. Be his minion. Its all ready written.

Fake title mass report get this shit removed, misinformation at its finest if Trudeau really wanted to say all this he would have done it when he met with Trump not cross his arms and feel offended like a snowflake

Should we listen to a man that done so many wonders for the Canadian economy?

UK here - Well done Canada, dont back down to the Bully tactics of a despot US government run by a Pootin sickofant

A very well thought out and eloquent rebuke there, nicely done. To our Canadian cousin's, i too went to the store yesterday and refused to buy American products, i shan't until this idiocy finishes. Perhaps Canada should assign itself with Europe. \nRegards\nA UK resident.
