Don’t fall for this, he’s not speaking for all Canadians he resigned as the liberal party was falling apart at the request of the liberals. He’s been flying around the world doing nothing the provinces have stepped up not the prime minister. He is putting another 25% carbon tax on Canadians come April 1. He’s no hero he decided to tax carbon and that will help the climate. Our gas usage is less than the carbon tax we are being charged as well as numerous other taxes but he flies in his big carbon polluter plane all over the world. Let him explain why he’s not on Canadian media ??? WEF PUPPET

Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

Those oligarchs could care less about the people.

Less than 1%. Now who's being false

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

He's just mad because he \nIs getting less money doesn't give a s about canada

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

Less than one percent illegal immigrants cross from Canada to the US Trudeau saying that’s a lie I see at least 60 people a day cross the border and get a ride to New York City

I am a Canadian living in the states and, Living very good off of what I get from the states for I have not worked in 27 years because of an injury. The U.S.A. has been better to me than the country I am a citizen of Canada. All my life my very large family in Canada come here to the states and goes home with the bumper or trailer hitch hitting the ground for it would be overloaded with products from the states because it cost so much less here.

Before everyone loses their mind over the grandstanding on either side… They should take some time to research the import/export world. If Trudeau thought he had the upper hand in this, he would have dropped the hammer. He doesn’t. The US economy will find a workaround before the 21 days are up, and Canada will have even less of a leg to stand on.

Seriously... Did ANYONE expect anything less then stupidity from Trump? He's an IDIOT! Plain and simple MAGA is a threat to the US.

A smart man? He is nothing less than an absolute dumb prick...

It DOESN'T make sense, any of it. What makes even less sense is the fact that his countrymen are letting him get away with it. Hell some of them are even proud of it. Choose a clown for a president and this is what you get. A circus. The only thing you're 'making great again' is the empty space between your ears. But hey, how's the price on them eggs?

Can't Americans realise what an intelligent and well spoken speech looks like, what it should always look like from our leaders?\n\nTrump can't even read a letter from King Charles; he's completely incompetent and unintelligible. They knew this before they elected him. Every speech he ever gave was embarrassingly awful.\n\nAnd now, less than 50 days into his presidency he has sided with Putin, betrayed Zelenski, and attacked all his partners around the world.

You need to speak to our president Donald J. Trump , Trudeau , we the people could care less about what a soci a list leader like yiu has to say...

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

Trudeau, in the West, only liked less than Biden.

Less than 1% of the population in America is in our Military. 1% of our problems coming from Canada is a lot of people and drugs.

I'm sure Trump could care less what Trudeau thinks or says.

They're gonna fold in less than 2 days watch

97% drop in seizures ? So you’re seizing less now ? How does that make sense

make america less braindead again

Trudeau did exactly the right thing he stood up to the bullying and intimidation of the President/crime boss.Trump single handidly is making the world a less safe place.

You know… I couldn’t really afford to buy food and survive before the tariffs anyways. That’s why I’m getting sicker and not better. Seniors and disabled Canadians couldn’t survive on $400 or less a month, with regular pricing. Tariffs are only going to make more apparent what was already there, and give politicians a scapegoat, now that they’re forced to pay attention to poverty. Kind of like how Covid became the scapegoat for negligent and non existent health care.

Less than a week left in office and he finally grows a pair! What a joke! Punk

I feel sorry for Canada. But what will these tariffs do to weaker Mexico? Do Americans really think that impoverishing Mexico will lead to less criminality and immigration from Mexico? This is crazy.

MAGA won't be complaining about prices because they don't won't to offend their favorite Dictator in the White house...But Real Americans will suffer and the MAGA Cult won't give a f'k. A Malignant Narcissist will detroy America in two years or less and MAGA will cheer.

finally we hear Trudeau speak the truth.Maybe he should have tried being less political and more honest with Canadians starting oh say -TEN F-IN YEARS AGO.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

And the Crap Show begins.. The American People will suffer heavily from the influence of other countries which will weaken America's economy. Thanks MAGA votes, who believe your current President in the matter of less than 50 days in office America is doing marvelous (the best it has ever been and the best you have ever seen). Guess Kamala wasn't lying after all..

Should be talking less and preparing for the invasion. Good Luck!

canada will be bankrupt in less than a year

DT could care less. ? He is working for Russia. ???

Watching this is amazing. I'm no fan of Trudie, but right now he's doing alright.\nI hate to tell the Americans watching, we did try to tell you and personally I feel for less than half of your people. The fact that the blue leaning public had to so dumb as to use THIS election to show your dissatisfaction with Biden and Harris is leading many people around the world to wonder if America is even worth worrying about at all. How can you's be this stupid you're no better than the MAGA crowd.

I bet it takes less than a month for Canadas president to change his tune here. Or, they will rush in the new PM and he will work with Trump.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

And to think, it's only been less than 3 months, and he's already made devastating damage. Just think what he'll do for the rest.

? Californian here. Thank you, PM Trudeau, for your leadership and for speaking with respect and clear intentions to rebut what you were forced into. Listening to you speak makes things feel a little less scary. To hear another world leader speak with such normality, is reassuring that democracy still exists. The last decade has been hell on Americans. Some of us have been standing up, speaking up and never giving up for a decade now. Wee are tired but we can't stop. Thank you for being a sane voice during this insane nightmare. And thank you for embracing President Zelenskyy. He needed that multileader summit embrace after what Trump did to him ?????

Trudeau and everyone else thinking Trump is an ally or a friend is sadly mistake. Trump is gonna ruin the world in 4 years or less. He needs to be removed from office now.

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

Canada will not back down in front of a bully who is nothing less than a puppet of Vladimir Putin.

Americans Citizens how do U like Agent?,V?,mus?&GOP Trifecta(Congress, Senate, POTUS?)+biased SCOTUS in less than 6weeks have ENACTED CHAOS @ Project 2025 GOP COUP firing/destroying from Within USA CITIZENS&hurting/losing ALLIES WORLD WIDE!!!?+GOP minions have decimated America.???

Simple if you are not a trillionaire autocrat like putin or a half a trillionaire oligarch like musk trump doesnt respect you much less consider you a friend. The other one percenters in america are following trumps lead.

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

I always think “this guy couldn’t be less threatening. Then he proves me wrong and starts talking French.”

As an American, there’s no way I can believe that Trump is doing this for less than one percent fentanyl crossing the Canadian border. I wonder what the real reason is?

Canada can say whatever it wants. Inconsequential as CNN. Now with a 54% less viewer base and 50% less Corporate revenue donors and supporters.\nCNN on its way out right in front of MSNBC who is next.\nIts over

As an American, i hope that the world does react to the United States as Canada has. And even worse. I hope that things for us get as bad as it gets because anything less will be ignored or brushed off as anyone elses fault. I want Americans to really understand what a horrible mistake they made in Donald. But my hopes or not, this seems very likely to be the case anyway.

America- We don't hate you or your anthem. We just hate Donald Trump because he's an idiot. Hopefully in 4 years or less you will have a new leader to sort out all the problems he has created.

Donald Dump is a dumpster fire. He and JD are complete idiots, Canada doesn't allow drugs into US, LMFAO. They have single handedly ruined of decades of partnership and friendship, gone for ever in just a few weeks! We might be small, but mighty, unfortunately it will be everyday Americans who will feel the pain. Millions less trips to USA from Canadians, BuyCanadian, all US alcohol no longer available throughout Canada, AND Gov'ts not allow US companies to bid on procurement. 100's of Billions will be lost to everyday Americans, and remember you have Donny and JD for it all!
