I want this guy to be my president!

It's gonna be much worse for americans then us canadians. no one wants to trade with you now. donny better figure out how to grow money on the trees at his mar a lago golf course otherwise you won't have any and americans are going to starve

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Does Trudeau realize he's dealing with a mentally ill man? It doesn't matter what he does DJT will just make up another excuse.

Just go away already

A big heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our American friends who have lent Canadians their support throughout all this, a keen observer would admit there are a lot of you out there standing up and speaking out for Canada. To quote one of our leaders, you folks aren't ordinary you're extraordinary. ????

Soo good. Not even Canadian, but boy what a speech.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. Some of us know what happened here by electing T-rump and saw this coming. Do as you must. We have a bully ignorant in the White House. Some day we'll recover our relationship. Godspeed upon you.

Trade Deficit. US imports more than they export.

Wish yall hadn't spoken over him so much

I have never understood why so many Canadians supposedly hate on their Prime Minister. Seen from a German centric position, he seems like a very reasonable and capable guy.

It’s not America. It’s a buffoon that is in out Whitehouse

Trump is making the USA the titanic. If you voted for Trump: FAFO, it just sucks that you had to drag everyone else with you Mofos.

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

a week from now you will be swallowing your words.

I'm still lost on how it's the US fault for Canada allowing drugs/etc to enter the US...If we send our Military to CA and start killing people, I guess it would be CA fault?

As an America \nDid he just threatened us ? ?

We will stand up

Canada will become a 51st state. So all this is irrelevant.

We in Northern Ireland support our loyal Canadians all the way.stay strong.

speak directly to trash

Pleased to see a TRUE statesman speak as opposed to the US gangster double act of Trump & Vance . America is loosing all its creditability worldwide .

I agree I definitely don't like it it's like brother's u know!

7:48 Wow, Trudeau, even when he insults you, he does it with respect and class. Donald, watch and learn!

Agent ? orange ?

Under Trump the U.S is an embarrassment. Most countries are giving there backs to the U.S.

CNN ,you didn't mention the real real that Trudeau believes the Trump administration has put terrifs is that they want to cripple the Canadian economy to be able to annex Canada as a 51st state!!!

Support to Canada from an Aussie ?? ??

I LOVE Canadians, they are the FRIENDLIEST people but don’t make em mad though! Everybody Knew Criminal Selfish Anti American Trump wasn’t SHIT when they Voted for him! I HATE THAT DIRTY BASTARD!??

Canada continue to be strong let Trump know that Canada is no push over Am?erica get rid of Trump and Vance also Musk

This is Trudeau theater people this fool and the liberals want this crisis so they can call an emergency and continue in power. By pass an election you watch. Liberals are woke WEF CLIMATE EXTREMISTS. CANADA wants them voted out.

Canada sucks

This comment section is 95% bots just talking to each other lol.

He put up with it for so long that now he's finding out.

USA!! USA!! USA!! ??????

The tariffs are meant to bankrupt Canada so they’ll be forced to join the US.. Pretty obvious at this point.

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

Trump is compromised. Period. He's doing Putin's bidding, 100%. This is an incredible moment in history. America has been infiltrated by it's arch enemy in the biggest way. God help us.

My hero Trudeau. This is how a true leader speaks and acts.

Much love, Trudeau, don't take Trump's awful actions lying down

AMERICA 1ST!! WE WILL NOT LOOSE TO YOUR SORRY COUNTRY! YOU WILL BE OUR 51ST STATE!

I'm so sorry, Canada. I wish I wasn't an American.

Showing your true colors when u didn't get what u want ?

We are a small country population wise here in Canada but we are rich. We will endure this but it is gonna hurt. Hard to increase our military spending as asked by The Donald when he is slapping tariffs on us.

Don't put all Americans in this. Not everyone voted for the turn coat in the office. We, the people that didn't vote him, are stuck, baring witnesses to our democracy being torn apart.

I am American and I stand with Canada. And Ukraine. And Europe. And Mexico. I do NOT stand for the United States. This is so sad and scary.

It's really too bad, Canadians have sympathy for Americans, who will be hurt (Trump and his billionaire policy makers will not be hurt at all).

America is now aligned with Russia!! Have fun ???????????????

Canada needs to comprehend what being a junior associate in a deal means. That is what Canada is compared to the United States. Feelings have NO place when it comes to business. Keep your feelings and emotions out of it.

Instead of California seceding, maybe it should become part of Canada.
