Went Canada first time. 1997.. beautiful thought if ever leave Australia it’s here. lol. Went back 2023.. what a shithole…. CANADA, Should just sell their ass to INDIA…😂

I once had a green card and I let it lapse. I have no intentions of ever visiting that terrible country again.

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.

Can't stand him, ever since the Trucking fiasco..

I've not ever heard trump say the words, let's work together!

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

The man talking about the damage these tariffs will caused has cause far more damage to Canadians than the tariffs ever will. Ask anyone trying to buy a house for the past few years! Or ask about the value of the Canadian dollar. These tariffs are least of the Canadian people concerns.

HATE TRUDEAU A WOKE LEFT NARCISSIT BUT THIS IS THE BEST SPEECH HE HAS EVER MADE AND ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME HE HAS SPOKEN LOGICALLY. WHERE HAS THIS TRUDEAU BEEN FOR TWENTY YEARS!?

I really don’t care if Trudeau “blisters” himself to h___ and back. I don’t think he has ever been a competent leader and is an embarrassment to Canada.

I think if there was ever a war in Canada, I hope at half the Americans would be on our side. I hope we get past this and we can be great cousins again but for now elbows up Canada we got this.

American here. Please stay strong Canada! Don't ever bend the knee. Don't ever kiss the ring. Not all of us voted for the tyrant who is currently occupying the White House.

Turdeau a dictator who is killing his own people with free drugs--- trudeau has killed more Canadian then Russia ever will

Dear Canadians, what a wonderful Prime Minister you have! Believe in him, trust him, support him! It's the best speech I ever had been a witness! Daniel Graber from Switzerland

Lol, the arrogance. Justine is resigning because his people hate him and they are suffering from his leadership. Trump just got re-elected again and has an approval rating higher than ever. Why would Trump listen to a guy who is a failed leader about his leadership style? Justina is just illustrating that not only is he a failure and loser but also a narcissist

Trudeau, you should have never given Omar Carter $10 million for killing American soldiers. I don’t think Donald Trump ever forgot that.

My respects Canada! My respects Trudeau! I am an American, but I support Canada. Trump is the worst and most shitty president ever in American history. I'm simply shocked that this criminal was brought back to power, obviously by those who just want to destroy America.

Trump is the best president Russia's ever had

the irony of tariffs is that they devalue the profitability.\nSecond if the POTUS or VP EVER attempt to enter Canada, it is NOT going to go well for the President etc.\nThe Trump and Vance are persona non grata

Canada needs Pierre Poilievre more than ever now.

This is why THE WORLD respects Trudeau. Dumb ass Trump thinks he's genius for imposing tarrif's to their long standing economic partners, but he is ACTUALLY DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD to the american people. Countries will tarrif back hurting both businesses and the american people he so wish to give a good life to. They are a bunch of clowns who are basically just giving us good television. Americans are not dumb. Trump will keep on twisting and twising the narrative to sell his side of the story, but it's clear as day that the only back Trump has ever got is Putin's. Sadly, America is becoming a lapdog of Russia under Trumps pretentious leadership.

One of the beast speehe I've ever heard. Stand up against tyranny

Where did this whole business with fentanyl/oxicodon start? In the US, because rich, greedy people and companies can do what ever they want.

Donald J Trump, one of the stupidest superpower leader the world has ever seen. Even his mother spoke of it.

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

Best investment Putin ever made.

I love this! Because Donald Trump is the hugest piece of shit I have ever supported. If my country buys from you and you also sell to me, then why impose tariffs on me? Simple! I slap you back.

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

Trudeau is far more presidential than Trump could ever be!!! We need a leader like him!!

Losing Canada as an ally is the lease concern for Trump most importantly he has please Russia (Putin) as his master. Congrats to the electorate that voted for Trump for making the best choice . Trump best president ever ???.

American here that has extensive relationships in Canada. We don’t want this tariff war but the tariffs being implemented first by the Trump administration on behalf of US were punitive for violating USMCA and tied directly to the border defects. This was made known in advance and you repeated empty promises. Take your medicine and get well fast. Instead of doing that, you are taking an action that will beget reciprocal tariffs. Implement $30B and Trump will add $30B….add another $125B later and Trump will add another $125B. Heads up….America wants good partners and looks forward to being past this as well. In the meantime, we are prepared to pay more (or live with less) as we get back up on our feet. We have a lot of internal healing and cannot carry any other countries right now. Not sure if that was ever a good thing for either of us. Time to heal our broken ways ….sorry if you got used to our last administration being feckless.

As a Brit... I've been to Canada many times (the first time as a soldier in 1981) and of late in the likes of BC, I've fished there. Love, love, love Canada and the Canadians. I've been to America too, and I love it there also. And while I'm not always a good judge of people...I flatter myself I'm a VERY good judge of character. And oh man, have they ever got it wrong with this Trump fella. Now there's a bloke I would not like to find myself in a combat situation since he'd likely shoot me in the back and run the other way. I just find myself asking how on earth it has come to this. How can they possibly think that a person such as this is a fit bloke to lead their country. Hitler? Don't talk to me about Hitler America. Honestly, it would make you want to weep...

Trudeau is a significantly better speaker than Trump ever could be

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

So..... remind me again when Justin Trudeau has ever spoke the truth...... ever.

This is the most bot views and comments I have ever saw on YouTube platform.

First time in our nutless PM has ever spoke up.

Absolutely one of the best PM speech I have ever seen.

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

Get off your asses Canada. Your only 40 million people and we are 350 million. Why don't you ever grow!?

I never thought I would ever say I don't stand with my country on this matter... Why is the our government allowing Donny to destroy our relationship with our allies

UKRAINE IS NEVER EVER GONNA TRUST USA AGAIN...

What a joke. Vancouver to name one city is the most drug ridden hellhole I've ever visited.

Donald is the worst president we've ever had. Anyone who still supports him has no humanity, plain and simple.

Wow. What a speech! He is stating facts and is open to cooperation and some people still believe the Orange Man in the White House who is speaking like a 9 year old to his class mates and is spreading OBVIOUS lies all the time is the best leader ever.

Well folks if you ever wondered how Trump managed to bankrupt so many of his own companies he’s showing us all right now exactly how he managed to and he’s going to bankrupt the US both financially and with our allies as he has become a laughing stock around the world. The man and his Musk are unhinged! ?

As an American if you do not stand with America Leave !! \nI STAND WITH AMERICA GOOD, BAD, OR IN DIFFERENCE. \nwhat ever problems we have we will solve internal . i see a lot of spineless \nB A S T A R D S in here .

Ha Donald this is what a TRUE LEADER LOOKS AN SOUNDS LIKE AN THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE . Donald set back in the corner and lesson to true leadership is . We as Americans will always stand with Canada an YOU STAND WITH RUSSIA, North Korea an other dictatorship countries. The America people will stand TOGETHER AS YOU STAND IN THE CORNER BY YOURSELF STOMPING YOUR LITTLE FEET .

Do you guys all have memory problems. Trudeau been stealing millions of dollars for years and now he’s Mr canada. Trump is the first to stand up to these corrupt bastards ever.

Remove Trump! Remove Vance! Remove Musk! Get rid of them!\n\nAmerica belongs to we the people! \n\nDiaper Trump does NOT OWN AMERICA. \n\nTrump is a dictator want to be tyrant who loves Putin. Trump is the biggest liar anybody has ever seen!\nTrump is hurting America! Trump cares only about himself and his minions who do what they are told. \nTrump lies are all part of his propaganda so he can become a dictator! \n\nWe need to remove him from the Oval Office and lock him up behind bars!
