The excuses for implementing the tariffs by trump were just as absurd as putin’s excuse for invading Ukraine.\nHonestly I wouldn’t have even bothered to implement the border policy because in trump’s la la land. It wouldn’t matter how much Canada did. \nOnce he’s fabricated a reason for anything. It becomes a truth in his head.\ntrump’s a communist sympathiser ?. Figure that one out?\nNext he’ll be sending arms to russia.

his comments about working positively with Russia and appeasing putin are opinions not facts. The fact is WE ARE BROKE. We you me cant afford to be spending money on Ukraine as much as it pains me to say. We are going to go bankrupt and then we wont be able to help ourselves. We cannot continue to spend BORROWED MONEY. Are you willing to have the value of your hard earned dollar to fight a never ending battle. The truth is not a pretty one. Everytime we borrow money the quality of your life and your families diminishes. Not Ok with that. its a fucking struggle out here. and i know it is for you too. Mr Trudeau I think i just made it make sense. We cant afford it. War must end at all costs. or we are fucked.

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

We here in Detroit love Canada. We are ashamed of our president and his buddies, Putin and Musk. And we are so jealous of the Canadian leaders who actually speak like intelligent people and tell the truth. And why is Trump trying to blame our neighbors for our own citizens' drug abuse? Americans created the drug cartels, gave them all the money and all that power. .

Everyone trynna make Putin look like the bad guy, if you really look into the reason Russia invaded Ukraine u will understand look at Robert f Kennedy video he speaks the truth, Ukraine was killing Russian speaking people from Ukraine because they banned that language he invaded for many different reasons but you people don’t do your research u guys are blindsided lol

Time for good people to take a stand against this darkness of Trump, Putin, Vance and Musk!! God is watching and they shall reap what they sow!!\nWe must ALL turn to our Saviour Christ Jesus who is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Him.❤??????????????????????

Congratulations here from Germany to the Canadians for such a strong and intelligent prime minister. I wish we had someone similar leading our country, who is not afraid of telling this traitor and Putin supporter in the white house the bare truth.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

It’s not a dumb thing for him to do. His goal is to stay out of prison for whatever Putin has on him. If he dismantles the country completely there will be no pathway to prosecute when the truth comes out which it will. Rather than dumb it’s a dark and sick and sociopathic thing to do parallel to only a handful of the worst bad actors in history. We need to distinguish between dumb and evil. This is the distinction the WSJ missed.

Austria here. Trump himself is the biggest scam ever. He says „make America great again“ while isolating it, breaking with allies, constantly telling lies, cuddling Putin as he would be his best friend. In truth he is obviously a Russian allie.

Russia targets civilians with artillary daily. That makes them murderers. Putin is therefore the Murderer-in-chief. Justin is correct. Truth to Power!

I’m an American and I have to say that it is refreshing to hear truth come from a leaders mouth. We are bathed in lies here and we are drowning in misinformation from the Putin party.

I’m so ashamed of our country. This is going to cause global economy collapse. This is going to hurt everyone, and country, and corporations. Trump knows what he’s doing. He’s working with Putin to cause this- global plutocracy. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Maybe now, it will sink in to people. We pay, not ??. They are force to put tariffs on their goods, who do you think pays? This is ?, peanut butter, Aluminum foil, etc. I suggest start stocking up. In about two weeks increased prices will hit the shelves.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Thank you for saying what the Americans who voted for Trump needed to hear, which is the truth about Putin.

Thank you PM Trudeau for this speech. i hope my fellow Americans are listening-so we begin process for returning to truth, honesty, friendship with our allies, and an intelligent realistic president and government. A government which doesn't bow to Putin.

CANADA HAS A TRUE, TRUTHFUL LEADER...NOT PUTINS PLAY THING ???????????

There's no truth that putin is playing trump , trump knows what he is doing?

Trump is not being played by Putin. Trump is a russian agent used by Putin to destroy the West. USA people cannot believe this, but thats the truth.

Truth be told ..Trump wants to be like Putin \n\nHe's kissing Putin's ass The only reason why he brought zelinsky to white house was to behave like a high schooler bullying with all his coonin minions \n He's made a mockery out of the presidency of America He's an ass licker for Putin and a buffoon.

Trumpf is disgustingly evil. I stand with Trudeau SMH ??‍♀️ this makes no sense at all but we all know the truth why he’s appeasing Putin.

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

Thank you all in the comments for supporting Canada (and Ukraine). You are speaking up for the truth and for all our countries as partners and speaking out against the tyranny that is DJT and Putin. \nTogether we will prevail as friends and neighbours.

Putin loves this fight! My fellow Americans That is the point! Trump and Putin are United against their common enemy: The United States of America and the EU… Why does CNN avoid telling the Truth?

Trump and Elon just lay in bed with Putin while polishing off each others knobs while making posts on truth social.

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

Trudeau, where is your proof that Mr. Putin is a lying murderous dictator, other than your globalist talking points and this mysterious rules-based order conveniently rolled out and articulated by you and other Western leaders only when it serves to bamboozle the Canadian people. Oh, that's right. The truth is that Canada and its Western allies have done much worse than Vladimir Putin, unfortunately many Canadians have been indoctrinated by this silly rhetoric, and more importantly, their are many Canadians that simply see through your lies and remain vigilant for Canada and Canadians.

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

The simple truth is Trump loves Putin.

It's the truth. Americans better rewatch the Movie Red Dawn where Russia takes over America. It's happening. Putin is running America through his Best and highest paid Agent. I honestly can't believe it.

? first of all get it right mayor Adams is a criminal and he embezzled a lot of money from New York I grew up in the Upper East Side in New York okay and I used to like him until he was caught and and plenty of proof it's not about him doing anything about the migrants it's the fact that he changed his tune all the sudden when he's caught and Trump is willing to drop the cases as long as he goes with the flow and does with Trump says but if he doesn't he's legally allowed to bring the case back up that's why they have the case in court and the Seven judges resign because they refuse to drop a case a new was being dropped for political reasons not because he wasn't guilty and the fact that Trump had in writing that he could bring the charges back up there's only one thing that can mean if he doesn't go with the flow and be a good little soldier and doesn't do exactly what the orange buffoon tells them they can bring the charges back up that's never been done and is highly suspect that's called blackmail!\n\nBy the way a Democrats don't disagree with deportation and not letting illegal violent criminals into the country but we do disagree with separating women children and babies from their mothers and fathers and we do disagree with just deporting people that are brown black and Muslim many of them that aren't even violent now you can't tell me that it's the most racist deportation ever you name any Canadian any Australian or european that's being deported that's here illegally there's plenty of them I have plenty of friends that know people they work with that are Australian and Canadian and European that are illegally you don't see them getting deported I wonder why they're all white that's why!\n\nTrump wants to say he's only deporting violent criminal gang members more than half of the plane that he deported to a couple of different countries had plenty of people that weren't criminals or gang members and he even ended up deporting American soldiers and vets by mistake and they used a military carrying jet that cost $242,000 for every round trip 12 hours as opposed to what every other president uses a regular Boeing style jet that cost $102,000 for that round trip now you tell me that saving money that's called just showing off and guess who pays for that and he wants to do that every day oh that's a great way to save money?\nPlay you got Trump being harsher on Canadian Mexico than our enemies China and Russia oh that's right he's budding up and siding with Russia now over Ukraine telling the world Ukraine started the war? when Putin is obviously the aggressor and the war starter who even said on TV that he would have this war 3 months and no Russians would die! You now have this clown kissing his ass and spreading Russian propaganda that zielinski is a dictator Which is far from true because if it were true Trump would be actually kissing his ass like he does with every other dictator? I'm lying about he has a 4% of ratings Which is far from the truth he's got 54% rating zelensky which are higher than Trump's right now Trump's ratings are below that and they're going down fast!\nHe is crushing in the stock market he's crushing the economy and grocery prices are sky-high thanks to his tariff solution quote that he doesn't have a clue how they work

Alot of kremlin trolls here that badmouth germany. Thisis a specific strategy to destabilize germany.. while theres some truth in the video, kremlin trolls should move to putin russia the land of opportunity, prosperity and freedom
