Trump is so right to deal with Canada in the way that he has, the Canadian government is full of sh*t. These traffickers should be getting 50 years in prison.

2:51 you're darn right! If any ethnic people started flooding my town, I'd leave too! My town is 95% White and we'd like to keep it that way; clean and safe.

Honestly the batshit crazy comment reflects the #1 concern most Canadians have with the United States. We have conservatives and religious types but they're all more or less respectful and they don't try to control Canadian society. In comparison, at least a fifth of Americans are borderline fascists, and none of us want anything to do with those types of people. Since Trump took office they've become a hundred times worse, as now they're even threatening annexation. Sorry if it's hard to accept, but America has a serious problem right now, even if you're a good person.

We are watching the downfall of the US in real time . President Reagan would be flipping in his grave right now. \nWell Canada won’t forget these insults for decades, maybe more than a generation or two. Elbows up Canada. ?? I know I won’t ever forget these insults to my nation.

It's sad and crazy to be an American right now. ?

He is helping the fight against fentanyl yet Walter White is standing right beside him :-)

it's a joke to speak like a crybaby to USA.. we're already suffering here in Canada - instead of trying to make this right with USA, we're declaring a (trade)WAR??? this fool will run Canada deeper into the ground than he already has in the last 8 years... keep in mind this guy officially resigned - why on earth is he continued to be allowed to speak this way?

Hypocrites. Did Canada bother when US attacked China with tariffs? Serves Canada right. Now that is hits home, he speaks up eh? No winners in a trade war eh? ?

All leftwing pelple in the comments insulting Trump are enjoying freedom of speech that right wing people are fighting for while if they were in power they would silence half the country on social media. I think this speaks volumes. Not hard to see what would happen, just look at what happened under Biden and what happens in Europe. ? Yet it's somehow Trump the dictator.

Right! This is getting more and more absurd

When it comes to trade aggreement if you want to be in a position where you have the maximum advantage you have to do the not so friendly but the right thing. Donald Trump is a business man so this is not a surprise.

In the case of high treason, i.e. treason against the interests of the people of the country. Who came to power? A man who thinks not about the interests of the US people, but about the interests of a handful of billionaires, including political circles in Russia and China. The war against Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg of the war of the ruling dictatorships of the Russian Federation and China against the poor strata of the people of their own countries, against Western civilization and the US and the EU as a part of it. This is clearly seen in the propaganda against human rights and freedoms in these countries, the destruction of trust between people. What to do in this case? Wait until the US as one of the foundations of modern civilization is destroyed by short-sighted supporters of anarchy, monarchies and psychopathic dictators who do not respect other people's borders and treaties? Doesn't Trump's actions contradict the basic principles of the US and Western civilization? The United States is a country of democracy, humanism, human rights and freedoms, a country that has become home to the world of many people who have improved the quality of life of billions of people all over the planet. Question: When will the current US President/poppet of dictatorships be impeached?

Right now, 170 million people love Trump (50% of US pop), and over 8 Billion people hate him. Sound familiar?

Right on Canada!

Canada is completely right. ????????

By far, most Americans are not MAGA lunatics and remain friends of Canada. This madness will pass. Rightfully so, he addressed the mentally ill Donald, not the US President, who is temporarily occupying that office with his fat smelly arse.

You right.

Canada: Well done ..its in your best interest, protecting what you believe it right to all fellow aii Canadans. ✅️✅️?

Trudeau is a joke that ran Canada into the ground he has no right t0 talk crap to anyone.

My god.. Trudeau doing the right thing in the way everyone think it should be done. No one will need to ‘translate’ this to Trump.

I can’t believe that I’m actually agreeing with what Trudeau is saying for once…the more you know right?

I almost thought for a second maybe he’s just addressing the us as a whole and our political figures, but then he said “your government is doing this to you” and he couldn’t be more right. I’m ashamed to be American. This is my ancestors country. I no longer want to be American.

Please don’t resign Trudeau we the Canadians need you right now. I don’t want Trump to have Canada ?? I am with Trudeau all the way when it comes to saving our country. Please Canadians we the ones who were born in Canada ?? don’t want US to take over our country and make it part of US do we?? \nI am so proud that our Government Trudeau is speaking out to Trump . ????

He is so right

Not usually a fan of Trudeau, but he’s 100% right on this one

Trump's behavior right now is very un-american and traitorous

This isn’t about left or right. It’s about truth, freedom, and the future. Trump thrives on division, fear, and power. without accountability.\n\nDemocracy dies when we stay silent. We can’t afford that. Stand up. Speak out. The fight isn’t over.

Canada uses tariff on US for a long time. Why is it that when US does the same thing it’s not right?

It seems like America has gone from far left to far right in 4 months. Where is the centre right sanity?

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

From SOUTH AFRIKA - Good Job President Trudeau. Trump has gone bananas, literally. In South Afrika Trump and Afriforum (racist Boere aka white racist organisation that misses and pushes Apartheid agenda) are causing havoc by spreading propoganda of lies about non- existing land grabs and white genocide. These lies are being peddled and given life by that Mars Alien - Elon Musk because we refused his SPYlink Satellite without an empowerment stake (Black Economic Empowerment - which is regulated due to past imbalances). He got mad mad and started working racist right wing organisation that misses segregation

K, so you’re gonna stop the carbon tax now then, right?????? \nlol\nI didn’t think so. This guy is so full of it. He is the reason why we are suffering as a country. Not Donald Trump. Donald is just looking out for his own country. It’ll help them, it’ll hurt us because you’re gonna let it hurt us. We are already taxed in every humanly way possible. What’s next? I’m sure you’ll think of something to tax. \nThis man has ruined what’s left of Canada. Don’t fall for this rhetoric little speech people. \nOpen your minds and eyes!

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

From Germany: Great speech Mr. Trudeau. So clear. I feel you are really worrying about the canadian people and you are doing the right thing to get the US back on a rational track.

Canada is our friend, our best friend, he is absolutely right. i'm sorry that my country is insane, Canadians.

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

Shit. Maybe North Korea has been right this whole time.

The PM is known for his statesmanship, for rarely losing his cool, and never forgetting diplomacy. I’ve never seen him so furious—and rightfully so.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

You need to take those red earrings of because they are weighting your brain from functioning right

Trudeau isn't what Rogan says he is. I'm a Canadian with morals and empathy. I was formerly a centrist, possibly right leaning. That has all changed now. \n\nWe have the same far right agenda working to assault Canadian values up north. Americans are being subjected to a fairytale 'mandate' that was swindled with lies and deceit, Trumps 2 favorite tacts.\n\nI'm 40 now. Pretty brushed up on history. I can't fathom why any reasonable person thinks podcasters or real estate agents can govern. \n\nIn the past, swineherds could become Generals, yes. BUT There has to be levels of experience in Governance to handle the responsibility of having lives in ones hand. \n\nDemocracy is the only way, lets not go backwards. FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ELON.

and yet you called the unvaccinated racist...please dont pretend you stand for us, when all you have have for a decade plus is divide and tax the crap out of us...the election coming will show just how unfavourable your leadership is for the average canadian...you even have the audacity to shut down our parliament right now, because you need another vacation...sick.

Who is the man on the right of Trudeau?

Its because u kissed melania right in front of him

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

Well if hes going to talk like that all governor positions are off the table for him...\nMaybe Putin will catch Trudeaus ankle with an umbrella end and ding dong the witch is dead. ?\nFunniest thing is he says prices are expected to rise for Americans . Through tariffs right?\nSo then he matches those tariffs. So i guess Canadians can expect the same old bs from him.\nBC legalized fentynol! They found a giant fentynol lab out there. Imagine how many more there are! \nCrack heads all over our major cities in Canada. Jobs are down, economy is down, human rights is down. But he has nice socks.

Choose peace stop world war 3... we are not stupid anymore... stop shiting are mind... war should not be a business... and rather suport peace.... trump is right

The MAGA mob will be the one hurt most; the miners of coal and truck drivers. They cannot afford eggs right now!??

I love to hear his talking you’re very right ♥️

Thank you to everyone supporting the USA. It is disrespectful, horrific and down right scaryhow this administration is acting.
