where does he get off speaking to us without taking permission from prez trump. I'm livid!

Trudeau: “To my fellow Canadians. This, is going to be tough… For you. Not me, I’m rich ??? but WE (and by “we”, I mean you poor folks) will get through this together, and that’s just a risk I’m willing to take.”

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Kentucky here. Good riddance Canada. Exactly what we voted for. You need us more than we need you. You take of advantage of America and expect us to just sit and take it. Guess what we don’t play that game no more. So kiss our American butts and get over it. Trump 4-Ever. MAGA till we die.

You have been taking advantage of the USA. noe that Americans want trade parity, you complain. you are abusive. Speaking of Russia to undercut America, you forget your suppottbto theSikhs terorits. toy have been ponging on theccmricans, nd now that aAmerican President, best in many years, has called off your taking advantage, you cry. GROW UP. YOU GOT THERE YOUR FTHER WAS PM. BUY CONT NOT GET MOB IN GHA MARKETS. THATY ISA HOW SMALL YOU ZR.

This is getting ugly. Canada is already in a not good way and this will make it worse. I am not taking sides, but Canada will suffer more than the U.S.

Every day I now get up and never felt more depressed about what Trump is doing not just to Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Wake up America before it’s too late. Surely you can’t support a so called president that if he is let will take Greenland, Gaza , Canada . I hope not, stand firm . He is as bad as Putin in my eyes!

600,000 views and only 39,000 likes. Enough said! The people of Canada wanted his resignation, and they got it! My government is doing what is needed to MAGA. So take yourself and your BS and get lost! ❤❤TRUMP MAGA

These political give & take will get resolved when common sense prevails & egos subside.

I live in Vancouver and it has the largest open air drug market in North America. I can't recall Trudeau ever speaking about the Fentanyl pandemic so frequently. I worked with NPO's when they declared a public health emergency...hundreds were dying a month, and it seemed at the time that there was so little dialogue due to fear of public backlash for taking a stance on this issue.\n\nI'm not trying to get on a soap box here...but I'm just shocked. I could have given Trudeau a 5 minute drive through main and hastings in my 1998 RAV4 to show him how bad it is, and was...I wonder if he would have opened up this much?

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

He throws out 1% like thats not alot lmao. That 1% that gets through is enough to take out over 7 million people

Why is it that the republicans always got a threaten our neighbors, Canada and Mexico was high terms, threatening the people all the time and bullying them is not gonna work, usually bullies get put in prison or go to jail or worse, and they know that why are they being bullies just because they're rich and they. Don't want their pockets empty. And they want to take it out on our neighbors.Well, it's the taxpayers that keep them there.Remember that when your election comes republicans, you guys can be oust out of business.You will not be voted for anymore.Remember that and that's my opinion why you bullying our neighbors

This is only the beginning. The pressure for Canada to accept becoming an US state will get to levels you guys don't even imagine now. He will go as far as invading you and take you by force. He wamts your huge territory and resources. Unless the congress impeaches him, you will be taken by force. I know this sounds crazy but, considering everything that's happening in the world, his desire to pull out of Europe etc, I believe he sees Canada as an easy huge territory to annex. And he thinks nothing can stop him.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

Get control of the border and take your tariffs off and Trump will do the same. Your funding your social programs at the expense of us taxpayers with your tariffs you’ve had on for years

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

Poor Trudeau, just being a lying politician on any topic. Your own Country wants you out of office Trudeau you fool.\nWe have to take care of our own, even when it gets tough. Shut up Trudy.

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

Why is the USA disallowed from doing what is best for the USA? Not everything is an attack if we are trying to take care of ourselves first. Get over yourself, Justin.

Trump is going to take everything he can get cuz he can't get a reelected unless he starts a war which is looking more obvious by the second

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

Why is Trudeau citing everything Trump did, just to be left alone. This is what it had to take to finally get the Canadians to further help the fight against evil.

How many containers, coming into the country, do we check?......Trudeau's not doing enough to battle drugs and guns coming into this country. And it shouldn't take Trump pulling this tariff action to get Trudeau motivated.

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

When Americans get it through their head that fentynal, Canada, tarrifs have absolutely nothing to do to help Americans \nThis is 100% about attack and destroy America's way of life ,via project 2025 and take out the government, and become Americans first dictator \nPutin found his very useful idiot and he became putty in his hand, then he molded him to destroy from within without ever having to fire a shot. He played the player at his own game. Gotta admit well played Russia.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl, he wants to take over Canada. So this is Trump having a pissy fit because he didn’t get his own way. Donnie, put your big boy pants on, and act like a grown up if you can.

Oh did he take a break from abusing penguins and eating pancakes to get on the tv?

Well, of course you KNOW WHY THIS IS happening, don't you ????\nWhy can't people get the fact that it is Elon Musk who is making the call here ????\nHe wants to control the world ?. \nSo, by bringing CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES, it could make it easier for the US to take over CANADA ??.....\nNone of those who are running ?‍♂️ IN the ELECTION CAN MEASURE UP....THEY JUST CAN'T...\nAND FREELAND WILL DO TERRIBLE THINGS. \nI FOR ONE DO ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUST HER...\nTRUDEAU MADE SOME EXTREMELY BAD CALLS BY LETTING FAR TOO MANY IMMIGRUNTS\nINTO THE COUNTRY AND THE CARBON TAX WAS A FLATLINE FAIL......\nHOWEVER, NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION, \nTHEY WILL FLUB UP EVEN WORSE BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE CAPABLE. \nALL THE WORK TRUDEAU IS DOING BY NEGOTIATING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES FOR COMMERCE WILL BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AFTER THIS NEW ELECTION....\nTRUMPF WANTS ALL OUR RESOURCES AND WATER.\nHE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO BRING CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES..\nI'm deathly afraid of what's coming .\nCanada has free health care. \ntrumpf and helon Musk will grab our pensions....\nI PRAY ? TO ALL THAT IS HOLY,\nWE DO NOT BECOME PREY....

No problem with Canadians. Not sure why they put up with Trudeau. It took this to get him to take action on the border, and from what I understand the Canadian accounting is flawed. E.g. one percent of ten percent surveilled is not impressive, when 90 percent are crossing freely.

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

How does the War end Trudeau, without taking with to Putin. Trudeau needs this fight to remain in power… BS get to the table, not talking potshots at Trump…

Perhaps America's president should look at the programs Canada implements and make American a great place to live again, and the American people would not be enticed to take Fentanyl to get through the miserable lives some have to deal with on a daily basis!

Canada is about to get crushed, cant take advantage of the United States anymore

Screw Canada. Get ready for an invasion. NORAD is gonna be dismantled later this week and then US planes will begin a campaign to take out critical infrastructure

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

Well, I was really interrupted, but my thing is with. Why does the taxpayers have to continue to keep paying out the government's debt? I don't understand these rich billionaires. Don't want to pay their taxes. And then you guys blamed the middle class and the average payers. It's time that the middle class and average payers start going after the government to change your laws or be able to take these people that don't agree with the people that they paid to take care of the United States to get to my office and put someone that does care about the people in. Our country, that's what my whole thing's about right now and Donald Trump don't care. He wants to become a dictator and keep telling you guys and his followers are doing the same. It's time to go after the Republican office that Donald Trump has put together even with Leona's and take all his contracts away from Leon musk and see where he goes now. Instead of charging Leah, unless the area says he uses about 10 times a amount of rental space to do his work. That's what I gotta say, because that's what you guys are doing to the average worker and middle class to pay your guys's b******* bill.\nAnd that's my opinion like it ornet you fucking thieves

Shouldn’t border security be a mutual effort, while the states unequivocally blames Canada and Mexico for the problems within its own country,it’s always been a two way street, illegal crap filtering back and forth between borders, the states need to own just as much of the responsibility, obviously they haven’t been watching the borders either or there wouldn’t have been so many illegals getting into their country, it takes two to tango.??

As a Canadian, the main problem is attitude. It infects everything here, and that attitude has played into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Although we are going to see many hardships, it's hard to see how we don't deserve what we get at this point. We have been so reckless with our wealth, we take everything for granted, we have no ambitions.

It’s getting bad everywhere and it’s because… THE BILLIONAIRES ARE TAKING ALL THE MONEY AND ASSETS!!!

Yeah housing is a mess here. Even getting the most basic, cookie-cutter housing project off the ground can take several years and tens of thousands of dollars. Obviously some regulation is good, but when every step is expensively regulated to the hills and back, no one wants to build.

American GDP per capita is lopsided by tech giants that bring money from all over the world but employ small numbers compared to other industries. Take that out its just Russia. If the USA doctors charged 200k for surgey, the gdp went up 200k but the patient is now bankrupt. \n\nCanada messed up with immigration and handing out study permits. There was never a need for low skills foreign workers and diplomas that taught zero skills to international students. The root cause the crony capitalism that drives down wages and workers quality of life. Nothing will change until workers get back power they had in 50s and 60s.

It takes 6.5 years in Vancouver for a real-estate developer to get a building permit approved. The result = housing shortage and housing crisis. The explanation = a mix of elected city officials being incompetent and caving in to pressure from wealthy local residents who don't want their real-estate portfolio value to go down (hence they don't do everything they can to fast track building approvals).

It would be good if they let them get the criminals only but Ice doesnt follow it, they will take an innocent that has nothing to do. So it makes them hard to trust. Ppl that had made they life here, risk being taken when they arent criminals

This is what the democratic administration funds with American taxpayers' money it's a fact no speculation. And there still acting like it's no big deal ant they will do what they want . And for thoes taking advantage of what is happening in America today to launch there own agenda within the United States . Don't do it this mess will eventually get cleaned up and then all the focus will be on you . Think about it because there are a whole lot of WHITE people that are not living very well either White , Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, all races. Stop crying ....

I live in the suburbs of Seattle. I need to win the lotto to move. I'm a sick vet that needs multiple surgeries. I apply for help in my home. All that I get assigned to my house are asylum foreigners that come in to pretend to work....my house is still dirty and they don't help me while I grocery shop...they sit all day SLEEP and play with their cell phones!!! As a vet I'm so close to give em a kick out the door But I just tell them that I have to take a short trip...tell them to go wait in there car till I get back ... I text the agency to tell them to clock out and go home. First time, I told one to leave my house, she SNAPPED on me.
