At least someone said it - finally- grow a spine republicans

Finally, someone with SPINE vs. the EMASCULATED CASTRATED Republicans standing up to the WORST imbecilic president of America. Is America trying to prevent the guns from leaving America to the Caribbean and Latin America?

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

From Germany: The leftist woke shit is over you weirdo. We Germans also want a Trump so that the shit you leftists are spouting is finally over

Canada is already heading into an economic crisis, and what Trudeau just did might be the final nail in the coffin. This is his last big mistake — and he’ll soon blame Trump’s policies to cover up his own failures.\n\nLet’s be clear: Trump’s tariff policies aren’t some random attack — they’re based on a simple reality: The U.S. doesn’t need Canada. Here’s why:\n\nEconomy Size Comparison:\n\nU.S. GDP (2024): Over $28 trillion\nCanada GDP (2024): Around $2.3 trillion\nThe U.S. economy is more than 12 times larger than Canada’s — the leverage is completely one-sided.\nTrade Imbalance:\n\n75% of Canadian exports go straight to the U.S. — Canada’s economy depends on the American market to survive.\nMeanwhile, only around 12-15% of U.S. exports go to Canada. The U.S. can replace Canadian goods easily through Mexico, Europe, or Asia, but Canada has no backup plan for losing U.S. access.\nPopulation and Consumer Base:\n\nU.S. population: Over 330 million\nCanada: Around 40 million\nThe U.S. is 8 times the market size, meaning American businesses would always prioritize the U.S. market over Canada.\nNatural Resources & Energy:\n\nCanada’s oil, gas, and timber exports rely heavily on U.S. buyers.\nThe U.S. is already the world’s top producer of oil and gas thanks to its shale industry — it can easily survive without Canadian energy.\nCanada, on the other hand, would struggle to find new customers fast enough to avoid collapse.\n\nDefense & Global Influence:\nThe U.S. holds dozens of trade agreements with major powers like the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.\nCanada’s economy relies heavily on U.S. investment, which could be cut off or redirected if necessary.\nBottom line: Trudeau is dragging Canada into a crisis of his own making. He’s gambling with his country’s economic future, knowing full well that in any economic war with the U.S., Canada loses — fast. When the fallout hits, Trudeau will shift the blame to Trump, but the facts are clear: Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada.

American here. So glad there is finally coherent resistance against our imbecile president. To Canada: you are the loudest voice for yourself, but also for us majority of Americans that tried to prevent this from happening. Thank you.

so the season finale of the first season of WW3 has finnaly arrived

It finally CLICKED. Trump just wants to end globalization. Trump envisions a terrible world with the USA being at the top. The reality is that only the USA can operate with true isolation

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

All these years and Justin finally finds some Balls.\nI hope he's wearing the correct socks for the occasion.

Remember, thus is the tyrant who turned off people's bank accounts in the middle of winter because he didn't like people disagreeing with him.\nCanadian Supreme Court later found this was illegal but the damage had been done.\nCanada has had tariffs on American imports for years! This is a bully whining that he is finally being called out.\nTrudeau is a puppet of China.

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

Finally Justin sets your president straight. Let Donald chew on this for awhile. ??

As a Canadian id like to say.......What an idiot. This buffoon is trying harder than ever to completely destroy the country before we finally get to give him the boot. RECALL PARLIAMENT!!!!!! WE WANT AN ELECTION NOW!!!!!!

Finally proper leader from that continent appeared! Respect!

Putin Russia warned as far back as 2009 or earlier Ukraine not join NATO to aim missiles on the Russia border, did it not? Zelenskyy is a puppet comedian fake leader selected by European globalists to do their bidding. Before the war the ppl of Ukraine are weary and tired of Ukraine government neo nazi ideology, terrible policies, their wealthy oligarchs and blatant corruption. US finally did admit Ukraine had toxic biolabs before mainstream and their political analysts denounce it vigoriously. Too late now, Ukraine will continue to lose the war with Zelenskyy as president. President Trump is in the WH. So what integrity some ppl claim our country had and lost... like in the last four years with a weak corrupt party president? Trudeau is goin out hopefully not soon enough. Lol.

Canada in a nutshell: Trudeau dug our grave, lowered our coffin. Trump came and hammered the final nail.

Finally Canada listen to America and it will be resolved by reasonable and fair.

Tariffs just end up hurting the final consumer, Trump needs to implement measures that promote American growth and American Industries but not hurting the final consumer. Also Russia is the aggressor and needs to pay for all the destruction it has caused so far and economic impact !!

PM Trudeau has finally said truth and fact. He stepped up and put America in its place. I stand by what PM Trudeau said before and today. We are/were the greatest ally of America. But, we will move forward and make new allies now.

Where the hell was this guy for the last 9 years? Now he finally gives his balls a tug.

Hey Trudeau girlie pants...here is your final chance to fight and stand up for Canadians..show some Balls and Don't Back Down.

Trumps likes to speak over people because he always wants the final say he not interested what people have to say he wants people to shut up and obey his orders

President Trudeau-I’m an American. We live paycheck to paycheck. We didn’t vote for Trump & the GOP. The Republican Party has been doing everything it can to destroy America & the hard working people that keep it running, for years. They’ve finally succeeded. It’s an evil party, filled with vile,malicious assholes. But even though we won’t be able to afford many more things anymore, I greatly admire & appreciate you & your country standing up to Trump. If only more of our own ppl would have done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Putin must be laughing and celebrating as he finally destroyed US and made Trump his little puppy wagging its tail to show its loyalty.

Justin Trudeau is finally doing DECENT at his job?!

Finally, got the balls ?

From Copenhagen, Denmark: Finally a head of state saying it as it is loud and clear. Respect Trudeau! Trump is way more than a blemish to the Western world history – he's an utter disgrace.

As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

Finally a true leader to tell Trump his plans are dumb…

Glad that The United States is finally treating its “allies” how they should be treated. Figure out your own problems. I hope the U.S leaves NATO, UN and any other bullshit groups.

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

After ten years of this pathetic panty-waist and his Band Of Buffoons tearing Canada apart, on his way out, he finally grows a spine. What a dork. Thanks for nothing, Turd.

Finally an outsider shaking things up. I may not like Trump but at least he’s doing something. Not too long ago everyone agreed career politicians were a cancer. Now everyone on the side of career politicians. Make that make sense lol

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Finally far left policy Trudeau has back bone. Stay strong fight back,

wow, someone told that putin is a dictator!!! finally!!! Thank you Trudeau!

did yall forget, these are reciprocal tariffs meaning they've been doing this to us for years. so your neighbor charges you every month for years, and you finally decide to do the same to him and you're the bad guy. no, not right

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

Finally someone who said it bluntly! “The government DID THIS to us! We did not decide on this.”

Half the people in these comments voted for Trump even if you don't like to admit it now but I'm just curious on when did everyone wake tf up finally...I mean it's too late now ofc ...yall fd up but I mean but damn finally,???

Justin you realize this is all Trump wanted? You to get off your butt and be an ally like we need when youre the trade country that is our ally. You stepped up finally, goodjob

So proud of Bisexual Trudeau, we finally catch him outside of a Taylor Swift concert, and after opening borders and taxing his own citizens for weather change

Took me about 10 years to finally agree with something Trudeau has to say on the global stage ❤️??

Finally Trudeau sounds like a real leader! Mark my words, Trump and Putin are up to something.... time will tell!

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

Canadians will never forget this, Canadians are slow to anger but once you get us there it is cold anger and it lasts a long time. We will never trust you again. We will trade with the rest of the world and less and less with you. You voted for this, this will ruin our economy but in the long run the divorce will be finalized.

Why does the comment below about Justin finally growing a spine is allowed, but three times removed me calling him a ladu boy!

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.
