You speak neither English or French? You make broom handles? you belong to a sexist idiot religion? You have 15 kids and can't even take care of yourself? You hate the West and want to see it destroyed? Your kids are annoying, loud and terrible? Ok you are perfect for Canada and here's 80 grand and house. Honestly, these are the people I'm constantly meeting as a teacher. Canada will be crumbling for the next 40 years, easy.

The business lobbyists cooked up a scheme that there’s not enough labour, because businesses don’t want to pay minimum wages. They sold it to the government. I’m curious to see what will happen in the years coming when the White working people are retired and no longer paying for the subsidized wages. I guess that’s why Carney wants to tax the equity in our payed off homes. Gene pool going to get thin for the elites as Caucasian race is genocided.

Yep we are screwed big time, here in Moncton New Brunswick we only used to have a small number of Immigrants usually a mix of francophone students and refugees properly vetted by immigration. Jobs were available for everyone, a small example is the taxi cab drivers who were usually a mix of older semi retired Canadians, Sudanese and Syrian refugees who communicated well and tried to adapt to their new home, Canada. COVID hit and we started seeing Punjabi’s coming in unprecedented numbers, they say as students, from Brampton Ontario?Overnight all Walmart, Taxi/Truck Driving jobs, Tim Hortons, McDonalds were Punjabi jobs who do we blame? Rents are high, jobs once available are unavailable life has become hard where do we run same people voted again for the same government that has destroyed us 😢😢😢.

Good the more immigrants that leave the better it will be for Canada they come here for a better life for safety for this for that they're all set up by the government giving houses cars don't have to worry about nothing it's all provided for them through the taxpayers money well the real Canadians are living out on the streets and eating out of garbage bins I don't have a bed or a roof over their heads due to the immigrants coming into our country then they come into our country in protest terrorist actions destroy our buildings are statues our churches block our streets hospitals shopping malls an etcetera they disrespect our rules and regulations and think they can voice their opinion on everything and get away with it they come here most of them with a green card as a visitor from another land overseas and yes they think they're a real Canadian but never contribute never done nothing for the country but just take from the real Canadians that made the country to what it is today and it's all government doing before they give a house or car or anything that they get the immigrants get if you're standing alongside of one peppermint will give it to the immigrant faster than what they'll give to a real Canadian they're more or less told to sleep on the streets and eat out of garbage bins because he's immigrants deserve nothing but the best in our country we have to show them that they are welcomed no they're not welcome anymore Canadian should come first not somebody that came in on a boat or an airplane from another country and overseas it's a government can't look after their own then they shouldn't be in the government because our prime minister is supposed to be protecting the real Canadians not the ones that are coming in over our borders I wonder if that's ever going to change probably not because they still need these foreigners votes just stay in the position where they're at Canada has become a very undeveloped country now in Canada has been put into a lot of danger due to the terrorism that's in our country from the people that they bought in our country from overseas I mean just look at all the protesting from the palestines and Hamas people what they've done so far to Canada we see it on the news just about every day ask for their rights anyways I can keep going on but it's not worth my time tomorrow is never promised it's just that I know Canada is sinking and sinking fast due to our government and their policies but when it sinks do you think the government's going to stand on board and go down with the ship nope I'll be in another country safe and sound

WELL,SOME COMPANIES WILL SAY THAT IT WILL BE THE END OF CANADA IF THE TEMPORARY IMMIGRANTS HAVE TO LEAVE...WHAT ELSE,THEY WILL SAY THAT WE NEED TEMPORARY IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE...BECAUSE WHAT ?THAT'S "BULL SHIT".. IN 2023 AND BEFORE,WHO WAS WORKING AT WALMART,TIN HORTON,MCDONALD,GAS STATIONS AND OTHER PLACES ??YOU WILL SEE 95% OF CANADIANS AND ABOUT 5% OF TEMPORARY WORKERS ..I WOULD SAY THAT BETWEEN 50 AND 100 000 CANADIANS LOST THEIR JOBS TO FOREIGNERS !!!! THEY BRING IN 50 TO 100 000 FOREIGNERS AND SEND THE SAME AMOUNT OF CANADIANS ON EI OR ON WELFARE !!! WHO WERE THE GAINERS ? THE COMPANIES WHO HIRED THEM (WALMART,MACDONALD,GAS STATIONS,TIM HORTON,ND SO ON) AND THE TEMPORARY WORKERS....THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIRED IN ANY WAY !!!! SO,I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHEN YOU SAY THAT MAYBE A MILLION WILL LOSE THEIR STATUS..CANADIANS COME FIRST AND WHEN IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CANADIAN WORKERS,THEN THEY BRING FOREIGNERS ( IN THE FARMING ..

If we had our own of anything we would have been using them! Thats why we buy these goods from these other countries! The American people as well as Canadian are not equipped financially to handle this right now. We literally are fighting to survive. Not the rich folks, they are fine. They may not see the consequences of these choices but the working people that work everyday..... this is gonna literally kill us! People wake tf up!

All leftwing pelple in the comments insulting Trump are enjoying freedom of speech that right wing people are fighting for while if they were in power they would silence half the country on social media. I think this speaks volumes. Not hard to see what would happen, just look at what happened under Biden and what happens in Europe. ? Yet it's somehow Trump the dictator.

From Germany:\nRespect for this speech by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.\nWe Germans know such master races who think they can enslave and subjugate a people.\nWe are still suffering from it more than 100 years after the Hitler putsch in Munich. At that time, the NSDAP wanted to overthrow the Bavarian government and then seize power; that was the first attempt, but the second one unfortunately succeeded.\nNow we see how this is repeating itself in America, how an orange-faced clown wants to rule the world and change it.\nThere were some powerful men at Hitler's side, but the really dangerous ones were the followers, the so-called little people who had no say and finally got power over other people (neighbors, friends).\nThese little traitors who spied on people were the worst of all.\nWatch out in America!

Seeing people actually fall for this guy’s B.S. you can begin to comprehend how the Egyptians worshiped an insect. In light of rabid anti Americanism in Canada, President Trump would be wise to fortify and close the border as a defensive measure against invasion, infiltration, and sabotage. Canada has made it clear they’d rather spend a lot more to ship oil to China’s Communist Dictator Xi Jin Ping in Asia and back than pay a modest 10% tariff and send oil down an already working pipeline to next door America. Contrary to some mega ignorant comments, The U.S.A. is rich in natural resources and can be self sufficient. We just have to resume use of resources that were shut down by the appropriately initialed Barak Obama, Biden-Harris, and deep state bureaucrats in Washington. President Trump can accomplish this with our support. Shop carefully and please do not buy anything from Canada. Leave all Canadian goods to rot on the shelf. You won’t regret not making it to the Miss Hockey Puck festival in balmy Churchill Manitoba either. Other protective measures should be immediate cancellation of all visas and green cards held by Canadians and their deportation from U.S. territory.

Huge respect to you brother, this kind of garbage mentality people are everywhere all around the world. Their heart starts burning when they see other than their Cast, ethnicity or religion's person doing Hardwork.

Now people see the difference between a world leader and a charlatan with his billionaire mates

More leader need to speak this frankly to Trump and call out his bs and out and out lies. Everyone one with a brain can see Trump is an crazy narcissist who knows nothing about running a country for the people and it’s best interest, or understands what tariffs actually are and how they work. Trump only sees what Trump can gain personal and for his rich buddies.

The racist and the racist whites and blacks and all other racist in the United States voted for this guy and corrupted their friends who were innocent and didn’t know who to follow brainwashed them to vote for dump trump and you see the things he do and being good friends with Putin and the United States are stuck with him for another 3-4 years that’s how bad it is in most parts of America welcome to corrupt freedom and there it is but hello to our friends who still stand for democracy and the real presidents that run the country the right way we still follow behind you Obama Biden Kamala Harris and the other Democrats and not delusional republicans to stand against dictators and evil corrupt officials and evil corrupt people in this world! ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????

Looking at this from FInland, I really appreciate Trudeau's strong stance on this. He's addressing Donald, but I think he's also speaking to the American people.\n\nA question came to mind - people talk about allies, but who does Trump see as an enemy? Has he been asked that? Something makes me think that in his head the actual enemy is people in his own country...

Lol this will be interesting he giving this long speech which is great but you know what he could have did put people on the boarder we shall see how this play out for everyone

I wonder what the people of US sees in Trump? He is making enemies everywhere

Don't get it wrong we are Americans and you are our best friends this what you see the racists white people who won because of Mexican people

Congratulations, trump. You f’ed us over and our closest allies. Why would you do this? And it shouldn’t be up to Canada to educate our people as to what’s happening. They have done so in the most polite way possible. I’m looking true north and I see Canada. ??

good bring it on, Im tired of these radical socialist boobs. too many people are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and can't see through the BS

I see all Fentanyl users supporting trudeau. Why did trudeau allowed Fentany dumping into America,if he so love American people?

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

The only thing that's going to pay for that little wagging d*ck power monger is The People. So proud of tariffs and snubbing cooperative relationship. All the leaders are like, 'I see your tariff and raise it 5%.' So proudly talking about agreements = tariffs. The only profiteers from this are gov'ts and bribe takers. Capitalism swallows itself.

Our Gov, but we the people get punish..F it less see what happens..I hope Trump have a true plan.. JD got to go...Its just something about that hype man?

As a British person never have I disliked America as much as i do at the moment. Trump and his administration is nothing but a bunch of bullies!\n\nThe Western allies need to stand up against him and his regime and sanction/tariff America. It is the only way, the American people and Trump will see what they are doing to the world.\n\n?????????????????

Meanwhile East Indians are taking over Canada and the inflation and taxation has gone up and public healthcare is so bad people had to wait a year to see a specialist ! Wtf is this man talkin ! Canada money is down

it is the very and most wonferdull of mirth and fun and frivoility to see the angry carrott and the big strawbery put the sacrae to the people in the malls loI laugh very much and have much od the fun time

This is the truth……If Canadians and others see trumps relentless rhetoric why can’t the American people ? Donald is not smart he’s greedy! ..

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??

dude nobody cares about you , shut up about your childhood wolf!!! this is called a adult situation that puts people in check you idiot, you will see if you shut up and wait!!!!

The US is isolating itself from the world. It is indeed the strongest and the richest country. But the decisions, the current admin has made will damage the United States. Specifically the people of the estates with or without knowing, they will pay for the cost caused by the wrong decision made by MAGA. This is really sad to see how they divide themselves and the world. Only a few of idiots has gotten so much power to harm normal people who are only interested in living a peace and happy life with loved ones or their own family but now their suffer just started.

The fact that this clown thinks we give a sh is hysterical. So it’s ok for Canada to pay 1.3% gdp towards nato while we pay 60% and put ourselves in debt to the tune of one trillion dollars a year TO PROTECT THEM. They tariff us double or triple what we charge them but that’s supposed to be fine. Canada is a government that doesn’t give af about this country or the clueless people in this thread. Don’t believe me just do the research and see what they’ve been charging us all over Europe. Do some research and stop being ignorant about this topic. Canada is 1,3 % of our gdp. We are 60% of theirs. Do the math.

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

Trump could careless his pockets run deep his family is set for life. We the people are the ones that are gonna feel the burden. Yet there are those that believe he is doing the right thing it’s sad to see how unprofessional our government is at this time and age

Shame they didn't care about fentanyl when it was killing people off in BC for years before spreading, thousands of people had died. Shame they didn't do anything about the corrupt government that enabled it and the money laundering. Hard to believe they care when so little effort or attention was shown to get the BC government at the time to be accountable. It doesn't help that with our current justice system it's practically a revolving door unless you're screwing over some established monopoly, people who cause real harm are out on the streets in no time. People who accept bribes and allowed the deterioration to occur will never be dealt with and I don't see steps going on to prevent it from happening again. People with the money run the govt and screw us over.

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

You're sounding scared Truedo. ? besides all that we see how you treat your people for simple things like praying. Drown in your misery and quit trying to get Americans on your side

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Trumps using tariffs to get your prime minister to do the right thing \n\nYou guys have forgotten that your prime minister is a dictator and has been using tariffs on the American people for a very long time. It’s only fair that trump does the same to stop this craziness. Do your guys is research and stop believing everything you see the media putting out. Trump is for Canadians. Praying you guys see the truth we love Canada!

I wish people could have got to see this customer's face.... He just did all this for free food. Salute to the delivery guy..... He had a lot of patience and maturity.

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

Seeing the support from all the people from wherever they come from, it gives me hope. All the hate is tiresome. Just wanna say no matter who you are, thank you

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

I like how he is tackling the situation nicely. as being canadian, we should boycott the American goods so make our economy stable. People who are thinking this is in Americans benefits they see later what American government do with them .

These tariffs are about the US consumer to pay more for everything in order for Dump to recover money from working people to give tax cuts to the rich, nothing else. His lame excuse/lie that it's about fentanyl on the Canadian border is well known by people with commonsense. Let's see how long Dumps supporters will keep believing him when they along with every other American are getting it up the ass in inflation, of which Dump lied he would take care of from day 1. Just today, 1st day of tariffs, gas went from $2.55 to $3.09 in NM Buckle up folks!!!

..that egomaniac pig barely got in and imediately do this to its closest partner...is it really necessary?\nif he does it in the beginning..\nthats the kind of character who partner with another dictator...and he will do it to the whole world..each country...along that he's deporting millions of people...\nthats what the public..humanity didnt want to see...what kind of deity protects billionaires and handsome people...to later destroy the rest of the planet?

Canada is in trouble. Joining with the US would help both countries. Detroit would benefit from Canadians moving there, as would other US cities along the border. Canadians would get a place to live, and the US cities would be cleaned up and made livable again. Canada is suffering from too many people with few skills. The US foundry area hasn't recovered. If Trudea and Canada could see it, joining with the US would benefit them, and the US.

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

SMH with this Govt in the US what are we doing as a country because of ignorance and wanting power over people and wanting to dismantle races etc we are making a mockery GREED gets us nowhere don’t get me wrong some things I can agree with but its the manner of it being done. Change was supposed to come for the better of ALL for OUR COUNTRY! God sees everything and has ALL POWER we are making this our last days. GOD CREATED US ALL TO PRESERVE WHAT HE CREATED NOT WHAT MAN WANTS TO CREATE YOU ARE DESTROYING THIS EARTH! I am not for anyone’s slick mouth so be mindful of your mouth!!

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

Trump seems to want to see people hurt - very sadistic. This explains why he licks Putins' boots and wants to divide democratic countries for Putin.
