Come on Trudeau , everything you said was all good and well until you said trump is smart ?

PM Trudeau, we support you, your good people, and your country. We, as Americans, do NOT support this unholy coup and senseless trade war. We support you in your response and will still purchase Canadian goods on a personal basis. May this insanity stop soon, so we can regain normalcy in the relationship between our countries.❤❤❤❤❤

Trudeau....Trump is purposely trying to destroy the US...contain this idiot in the white house and target goods from red states on your bans....if Republicans wont put him in check, make those republicans hurt till they do.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Good riddance Canada ?? \nAlcohol off the shelves along with the illegal fentanyl at the border is the place to focus. And then there's mumbo jumbo dumber, Trudeau.

He makes it seems we were good till Trump came into office again. I got news for you,we were great before biden came along and all he had to do was keep the momentum going. Instead he killed pipelines, pushed leftist agenda and created the inflation we have now. No more will America be a door mat to allow people like you Trudeau to wipe your feet on and take advantage of the US like so many others! Don't worry, we will survive, we always do!

Nice to see a leader standing up to Trump. Trudeau is showing leadership and trying to explain to American how tariffs work. It would be good if Trump understood the pain he will cause Americans. We need an adult in the White House.

Trudeau. You are one of the evil deep states members. Mr Trump has never been your friend. Don’t feel too good about yourself ???

Fun Fact: Trudeau's ancestor was the daughter of Major William Farquhar, who ensured Singapore survived as a fledgling British outpost, then got bullied out of the job by an ungrateful Raffles. Today many things in Singapore are named after Raffles, but Farquhar's grave in Scotland defiantly claims that He founded Singapore. Good to see that his unbowed spirit lives on.

Why did Trudeau say that about Putin? He goes along with the eu propaganda. Putin is a good man and would of been a good friend to Canada. Trump knows this. Get a book or two,Trudeau, and think for yourself instead of what the eu tells you to say. Thats a fail.

This is why CNN should fail. Instead of finding someone who speaks French to interpret what Trudeau is saying they have morons telling us this isn't good. So boring. So worthless.

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

Good for you Trudeau,Trump needs putting in his place,He is a Embarrassment to America,?

O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

Trudeau, you finally do a good job to fight back Donald Duck.?

Well said, PM Trudeau. You assessment of the situation is more than impressive. The world has been turned upside down by an aging megalomaniac who wears fake tan and he is damaging all of us, including Americans. Unfortunately, a third of them haven't understood that yet. The saddest part of all this is that his especially harsh treatment of Canada is probably because Trudeau's good looks and that photo with Melania..

Really wish Trudeau would have been this firm during his whole tenure because it would have crushed the rise of maple maga. He seemed too soft for too long. Either way, it's good to see now.

Quit bringing junk into the U.S.! You don't like it? Make some good changes, not stupid ones. Trudeau is acting like a 3 year old threatening to beat up a grown man.?\nGet a grip dude!

Good will prevail, and evil will fall.well, said Mister Trudeau. Love this country, my second home, my children's place of birth .We will be ok .

Trudeau is exactly right, tRump has decided to hurt the people of the US, whether you voted for him or not. Canada is exactly right to react as they have, not just tariffs but all the boycotts they have started.\nThank you Canada for all your past support as we hope that we can return to being a good neighbor to you one day soon!

Suddenly you are true friends???? True friend understand NOT to take advantages from each other. According to President Trump, the US s-called friends did exactly the opposite, you all are taking BIG advantages from the US, in other words, you so-called friends have been leeching out from the US for decades. Now comes a president that want to make the records straight, now you have been crying like baby. Trudeau, normally I do NOT give fascist/Nazi lovers a good advice, but I will make an exception, did you call President Donal Trump DUMB??? Don't you think that is TOTALLY disrespectful??????

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

If Trudeau has all these border protections then answer me this. Where was his border policies for the past 4 years. Trudeau you can not call this a trade war. This is a border war with our trusted neighbor. Trudeau is almost gone because he never was a good leader.

That is a speech which will go down in history like some of Sir Winston Churchill's. It gave me courage, boosted my faith that possibly good will prevail. I spent 7 years of my childhood in Canada in the '50s. My heart is with Canada, Trudeau is a statesman in the best sense of the word.

Not a fan of Trudeau, but it's good to see him showing some spine and standing for Canada.

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

Good and honest words from Prime Minister Trudeau to Canadians, Americans, the world and Trump, who is called dumb. A fair and undeniable description, but only Americans can change their government.

Sorry, but Trudeau isn’t a good Prime Minister.

Good job governor Trudeau.

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

Trudeau is a weak little man. Canada has always had tariffs on US goods, but now that the US does it back, they cry about it.

Prime Minister Trudeau, as American of French-Polish ancestors I support and am grateful for our past history and friendship. May only good and a return to a higher consciousness between the USA and Canada. Thank you for your message today!

I am a Canadian. I wish our jackass , so called PM would keep his very stupid mouth shut. We just hate the SOB. Trump hates him too and for good reasons. I wish Trudeau would just disappear and go to hell. He is such a scum bag . He should realize he is a f’n nobody in the grand scheme of things. Most people in Canada hate him. He should have called an election immediately. Instead he is aggravating the situation by his stupidity.

Haha I love Trudeau. A good leader. Eloquent in two languages. Young. Good looking. The opposite of “Thug Thump”. Where is JD hiding today?

I didn’t like him but must say Trudeau good job this time. ?

Good to see Trudeau go to war with someone other than the Canadian people. ???

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Bloody good damned speech, Trudeau. Thank you. Sorry to lose Jack. But. Oh well. Rather be on side side of this rubbish. Canada, your the damned best. Thank you for helping us out.

Trudeau and the liberals were way underwater. Trump could have had a right wing ally in Canada, but Trump has managed to enrage everyone in Canada so much they are probably going to support a liberal gov't that will resist the US. Good!

What a contrast between a real leader (Trudeau) and a crass demagogue (The First Felon). It took this moron 5 weeks to destroy 160 years of good relations. Its a disaster for both countries. Trump is a spoiled bully who has never had to suffer the consequences of his actions. We will suffer for him.

Trudeau gave a good speech. But he was wrong about one thing. He said DT is a smart man, no he isn't!!!

Never been a fan of Trudeau but damn, that was good

Trump and Trudeau can both be turds. One doesn’t have to be good and the other bad. They’re both wack.

Like most Canadians, I hate Trudeau and can't wait for him to be gone, and hopefully in jail for what he did to this country\nBUT\nThat was a pretty good speech. Hopefully Pierre Polievre will be able to fix all this stupid.\n\nELBOWS UP!

I don't know. Trudeau is not a good diplomat.\nI don't trust this guy.

With all due respect, Trudeau is a JOKE. He is out due to screwing with our economy. He is looking Good at the moment due to Trump (lets be honest even putin looking better than trump right now). That being said Tradeau is gone! We will have a conservative government that is going tougher on USA if this continues. \n\nI rather due buisines with USA and mexico, then take it to China, russia or any other country.

And as usual everyone immediately goes after Trump before you see any results. As Trump tries to save money for American citizens for some reason liberals are against it. Trump did a pretty good job the last time he was in office so give him a chance. Trudeau is on his way out so I don’t particularly care what he has to say. He’s more in line with a Bernie Sanders than a Conservative.
