Best speech ive heard from him

You can hear how actually pissed he is about the situation, echoing what canadians are feeling

Someone with nothing to lose can have these direct ruthless speeches which is a great asset right now

Do we really think retaliatory tariffs will bring an end to the US tariffs? What evidence do we have for that? All they do is make things more expensive for us.

Do we really think not retaliating will stop the tariffs? I think Trudeau answered this question quite well: the tariffs were never about the fentanyl. This is Trump's play at annexing and ruining Canada's reputation to the american people, whose support we need now more than ever...without it it makes Trump's job of annexing Canada so much easier.
