Stand up to the bully ? Much better than my country which focuses on religion matters and assistance only. How i wish my prime minister is firm on the point ?

Of course you want what benefits your country most so Trump was right and just proved his point here.

Great speech by Trudeau (other than one point: about the Orange Sphincter being a smart guy). Trudeau was authentic and eloquent and very angry. Good for Trudeau for articulating so well what so many people think, and what needs to be said. The Orange Sphincter can barely string 2 coherent words together. YAAAAAY TRUDEAU ??

I guess there is no point in admitting we should have increased our pipeline capacity , got a pipeline through Quebec , made a deal with Japan and other countries for our LNG , worked to remove interprovincial trade barriers , improved our border security , kept our deficit spending under control . Now the error of our past decisions are apparent no one to blame but ourselves .

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

PM Justin Trudeau took the right approach, kindly raised his tone, looked dead serious into the camera, and delivered some great points. Thank you, merci Capitaine. We stand for a united North America and back to peaceful times. A Canadian who stands for Ukraine.

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

Its extremely hard to believe this is going on , Trump mind has walked off and forgot his body , Ill tell you what trump is trying to do , weaken everything down in America so him and all these billionaires buy up american soil to the point they have control period ....

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

CNN relying on foreign actors to prove its irrelevant point ?

Wooo the history repeat itself\nAs most think, Ww2 start on 1939, but China has been fighting the evil Japan (especially after Dec 1941) starting 1937.\nCanada is trying to tell the US citizen, Canada is not evil, not his to blame to raise food n energy prices in US.\nBut it has started since 2020. Canada at that point clap hand to celebrate.

I think as an American that likes Canada to a certain point agro tourist spots there a little too isolated with there tiny bridges to get in and there pathetic security at there borders so maple syrup will be more expensive it just means the rest of the states that produce syrup will profit more we as Americans can do without the business of canada but Canada cant go without American support can survive with out Niagara Falls nope

American here. There are many of us completely disgusted with our government and we are taking to the streets. Our friendship is vital! And don’t let them fool you. They don’t give a shit about Fentynl. It’s just a talking point AKA excuse to act like dicks. We are sorry. Not sure how we are going to get through this.

US Veteran. I don’t support Zelensky ruling via martial law.\nHe is essentially a dictator, shut down all opposition , news sources. Except gov voices.\nMuch much more.\n\nMany Ukrainians aren’t too happy with the war. Facts that propagandists never show.\n\nHold elections and let the peoples voice be heard.\n\nYour claiming to be defending democracy much how democrats do it…. By trampling on any notion of democracy in your pursuit.\n\nUkraine is far from a democracy at this point.

Wow, is this a speech or what, calm, sophisticated, too the point, makes donald look like a dum as moron......

Imagine living in a country where your prime minister has no problem giving all our money away to terrorists. Or raising carbon tax to the point people can't pay their bills, lose their homes.. imagine having a prime minister who doesn't really care about canadians like he says he does because unlike canadians no everyone has a huge trust fund like he does to live as comfortable like he does with the punishment he lays on us.. it's gonna be tough on us.. NOT him

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

I'm going to disagree with Trudeau on one critical point, Donald Jackass Trump is NOT a smart man. If he was, this wouldn't even be happening.

Well done, maybe 350% is reasonable at some point

Justin, you’re way out, so why would anyone wanna hear any thing you say at this point good written

This was on point. wish this guy was our president.

Pls don't get me wrong. I love my president right or wrong. But Trudeau makes a very compelling point. This is not the smartest thing to be doing with these tariffs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the reason President Trump brought the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico in the 1st place was for them to do more about stopping the flow of Phentenol (excuse if spelling is wrong) into our country. I thought both countries have stepped up to do just that already. No? If so then why continue with this stupidness?

This is how a President should present their country and people when speaking. What I don’t get is someone likes to point fingers at other countries for the “drug problem “ in America however no fingers are being pointed at us for all the drugs being made in America. Crack down on the ones who are making it in the USA instead of a slap on the hand.

Just to clarify, I didn’t vote for criminal “Trump” at all. So if ur looking for someone to blame for his victory, u can totally point your finger at the people who actually pulled the lever for him! I mean, come on, didn’t they check the fine print? It’s like voting for a mystery box and being surprised when it’s filled with socks! So, sorry Trump fans, but this mess is all on you! \n“Let America Great My A$$ again”

The politicians have lost and don’t think Putin is our friend… We just want people to stop dying… War is not the answer at this point… Bro thinks the retirement stock market is inflation? ? That explains why sleepy Joe messed it all up. Canada is just mad we don’t want their candy. ? Find business elsewhere where I guess bruh. ? You don’t have to cry about it on TV…

I have to disagree with a point made by the Prime Minister; Donald Trump is not a smart guy. He's a dangerous moron and a con man. I don't know what else we Americans need to see to learn this plain truth. If I were Canadian, regardless of my political persuasions, this is a speech and a stance to be proud of.

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Trudeau welcomed back Isis fighters back to Canada. He is a globalist worm and a sex offender.he slept with a student while teaching at West Point grey academy. Trudeau has the moral compass of Harvey Weinstein.

Well articulate PM no pointing fingers, lying and bullying.

As an American Donald Trump was a mistake. It's time for the American people to wake up and admit their mistakes. An inflated ego is not good. My fellow American we don't want a president with an inflated ego, who will never admit his mistake. People will definitely die because of this fool of a man. Imagine 5 years or 4 years of this. I can go on for many paragraphs but what's the point since I firmly know that my point will be proven in less than a year. Don't forget the employment rate keeps rising, inflation is rising. No wages increase for the citizens of the country. Medical and Medicaid will be cut as well as social security. Mass layoffs, it's also not easy to get a new job. Well I think we will have to migrate to other countries but that will not help. The only solution is to have him removed from the oval office.

There has been a war on drugs for decades! As long as there is a demand and money flows, so will the drugs. This is not about fentanyl or immigration. Those are two talking points to keep his base foaming at the mouth.This is about flexing on our trade partner and ally , so that our ally bows down to him. I hope no one does! Call his bluff and push back. He wants to be like putin and will do anything including kissing up to putin to get there!

I'm sure trump is shaking in his boot hearing this fraud talk.. ? America first don't forget.. just because he wants to stop the killing and end the war don't mean his siding with puttin. Just a liberal talking point

This has been the low point in our country. I know there were other times in our history when the people didn't understand or not agree with the president, but every single time the president would explain to the people why he did what he did just like any person in that capacity. I have been on this Earth for over 65 years and this is the first time that I am appalled at what this idiot is doing. I cannot believe that over 50% of voters elected this buffoon all because they believed his idiotic campaign promises! Any normal minded individual knew as soon as he said these things that if he is elected, we were going to be in big trouble.

This is so not the point but I wonder how many times he practiced this speech because he's not even looking at notes much or reading a teleprompter.

But that's Bidens market...any takers still out there or our we coming around to the truth that Dump needs to take responsibility at some point He is not in the Potus game.

Well spoken as usual. What a rational person we have here in Canada.Stays on subject, stays direct and to the point.

Why don't people know that Canada already has tariffs placed on our goods long before Trump....look it up... their tariffs are and were much higher....to the point were they benefited much more than the US did

President Trudeau should use his “teacher losing temper” act on donald if they ever meet, that would make for good television ! I remember seeing teachers teach their breaking point in the 90s when I was in skool

This guy looks like a fake actor. People fall quick with words and fake faces. Canada is not helping much. There is gotta be a catch. Lots of people cross from Canada and nobody points at them. Get yourself to work fake face. It's time that everyone takes the US serious. Now cry. The US will start to produce stuff. Just watch.

Hahahaha ????? Trump!! The only good thing out of Canada at this point is your escuminac syrup.

At this point they should just watch as the United States implodes on itself. The funny thing is just a couple weeks ago he seemed so confident that Canada was going to sign as the 51st.

I have no words at this point.. another promise about to be broken because this lame tariff war will make groceries even more expensive ?...

The fentanyl is made in China. The Chinese bring some to Mexico and COMES TO AMERICA IN VEHICLES CROSSING THE BORDER THROUGH LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRANCE. The rest of the fentanyl, the Chinese SEND IT TO AMERICA IN CARGO SHIP THROUGH LEGAL PORTS. So Canada... eh... mmmm... Canada... they... uh... ? Ask Trump ??‍♀️

omfg who is trump not beefing with at this point ? people are so fcking stupid the way they blindly kiss his @ss just cus he has a reputation

I will miss my Prime Minister Trudeau. He speaks for me, and I know, many others . . . .we aren't interested in buying American goods. We aren't interested in visiting the states. We are focused, at this point, on our own economy. In the last month I have discovered a few gems, produced by local businesses within 100 miles of where I live. Healthier for my family, healthier for my economy. More expensive, yah, a little. But in the long run, it will make us a stronger economy, a stronger nation.

Articulate, clear, calm and direct to the point. Awesome! The Canadian President is amazing! Donny Trumpy is just a major disappointment and a disgrace to the American nation.

Proud Canadian….we stand with our leaders. Great speech, respectful, intelligent, on point… …standing up for ?? No drama, just facts.

The way Trudeau speaks and conducts himself reminds me of Captain John Sheridan when he announced that Babylon 5 was breaking away from the Earth Alliance. Firm and direct to the point!

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.
