Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

Trudeau’s speech, spot on. This CNN “analysis” says so much about why it’s lost its value. Quoting the Washington Post’s use of the word “dumb” does not make a speech harsh. Good lord. 47 reckless governance is harsh, cruel and intentionally damaging, not to mention the way he speaks daily. Get it right.

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.
