We tried to do something about this clown but unfortunately half of this country that voted were idiots and say they didn't know he would do this. I don't recognize this country anymore, I served and fought for our country but I did not fight for what Trump is doing. I could not convince the morons who voted for him the danger this man poses to our democracy and now we are paying the price even all those of us who did not vote for him.

This hurts the poor and the middle class in both countries.\n“ Donald“ is out further blood. He will destroy US. Democracy.

All free and democratic states should react in the same manner, proud to defend democracy and their countries!

Its about destroying democracy...the US becoming communist...they need to be arrested. Get him and them out. Will there be a war in US or a arrest or assassinations.

President Trump is guilty of treason at the highest level and is in process of destroying the USA economically, politically and tainting democracy. The “American Dream” has become the “American Nightmare.”

All my support from France to Canada. Democracies that are true to their values need to neuter Trump. There is no other way. Being a felon, a fraud and a sexual predator wasn't enough. He also had to become a threat to the world order that has stood firm since 1945. He and his boss Putin belong in jail.

Support from England to Canada. Freedom and democracy.

From UK: admire this gentleman you can do lots with EU and allies.. Business people can’t afford democracy and mentality of their country but instead they always searching for Money Money Money ??? lol

It’s such a betray of Canada. It’s so sad.\nWe in Europe know, we are next…\nDemocracy! Democracy! Democracy!

From England …. What a true calm detailed and factual speech… a class act that stands above all the rubbish and lies coming out of the White House and the GOP. Republicans have no balls and they should all be impeached for appeasement with Russia… shame on America and up the Canadian European alliance .. long live freedom and democracy

Who would have thought AMERICA being the first to surrender. I'm in complete shock how they have stabbed Ukraine in the back and let its allies down. Democracy is dead in USA.

Americans…Wake Up from MAGA Propaganda Machine. The Nightmare that is trumps crooked 4 th Reich Will crater Your Democracy and Economic System. The Cultist Cabinet led by the Orange Menace, is the Worst Example of Incompetence and Ineptitude ever put in place by the American People. You have been conned by Chief Criminal, and his 40 Thieves.\nToday, is the Crossroad of America’s future. \nPolitical and Economic Disaster, World shunning as a Pariah State, OR…INDICTMENT, IMPEACHMENT and CONVICTION…by BOTH Houses. That’s You GOP.\nCanada, ?? WILL RETALIATE.

Hugely impressive, factual and genuinely heart touching. Wish Prime Ministers/ Presidents of the other countries were at least One Tenth of Trudeau’s capability. Respects to this great democracy !

I am a proud Canadian and have no love for Trudeau but more important, I fear for the American people. America was once the institution of democracy but has recently taken a very sharp turn and is heading towards the ideals of Russian communism. I hope that level forward thinking will soon prevail so that we can live in peace again in both of our wonderful countries.

We're sick of the orange menace. He's a danger not only to us but America and the free world. Americans should be livid at his behaviour, not only with tariffs, but more so to his cozying up to Putin. Trump has disrespected all the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice to defend freedom and democracy. This draft dodger that calls them suckers and losers. I've got news for you folks, he thinks you're all suckers and losers. It's up to you to stand and fight.

Where are the real patriotic Americans? We know the lengths you folks go to to protect your democracy. Aim better this time

From France:\nOf course, cnn is interrupted the Canadian because they don't have a translator. Meaning the information is selected again.\nIf the US don't interfere in other democracies affaires, they're selecting informations to Americans.

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

Dismantling U.S. democracy day by day, losing democratic allies, letting a billionaire to performer unlawful things, bowing to the bloodthirsty dictator Putin—aren’t there enough red flags? Why aren’t Americans protesting in mind-boggling numbers? The streets should be full of protesters by now.

everyone, even i remember when you block founds for Truckers who was fighing with you in Covid, it was disgraceful, against democracy...who is really bad guy here? Justin, please, just resign and make space for big boys to talk

Impeach Trump! Impeach Vance, remove their cronies from the White House! These people are working against American democracy and the people of the United States!

Weakening democracies is T's goal as He already stepped out of its principles.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

As a US military vet, go get em Justin. Trump is an enemy to peace, democracy, law, and order.

I grew up like 20 minutes from the Canadian border. I am them, they are us. This is ridiculous. I spent half my childhood in Canada, my friend was married in Perth Andover... I could go on. I'm so ashamed. Donald Trump is a danger to the safety of humanity and democracy. Canada.. if you will have me, I am yours.

This Prime Minister of Canada is a decent human being and Canadians are very lovely people.\nSorry Trump loves Putin and Russia more than Canadians.\nTrump a moral bankrupt human being. He hates democracy.

USA is no longer a western democracy. It is now a Kleptocratic autocratic country. As a Canadian we must fight against this corrupt US government. Hopefully Americans, who love their freedom and have fought for their freedom, stand up against this wanna be dictator.

This is what trump is all about…he is a nasty man…america is in trouble…no democracy in America

I as an American stand with the Canadian people.The revenge tour our president is pursuing is folly and millions of us don't support this sabotage of our democracy. Thank you for telling the truth and looking forward to visiting you all in May!

Thanks. \nWaaaaake up America or Trump the crazy narcissist racist wannabe dictator will destroy your democracy and world peace!!!\nSwedenUkrainaSweden forevever friendship ❤. \nJ.

a leader that can speak to every side of the issue. he is such the stark contrast to who America 'elected'. Someone has to carry the torch of Democracy.

If only the American Congress and sensible Republicans had the backbone to stand up and say what Prime Minister Trudeau has just said. It’s time for serious politicians, the judiciary, and the Republican Party to put a stop to the dismantling of the Republic and the oldest democracy in the world.

I'm from America and I'm with Canada. Trump has got to be stopped along with the whole Republican party. They are the biggest threat to our country, security and democracy. It's just to bad nobody has the balls to just go in and take them out. The judicial system in this country is a joke. So we have to figure out other ways. They fixed the election and convinced 30M to follow their agenda. I'm ? with Canada.. America is disgraceful because of the traitors running it.

For Trump it’s not about a trade war ,it’s about Trumps alliance with Putin and destroying western democracy

As European citizen, this speech makes me proud to belive in democracy... You Canadians really have balls of steel... \n\nCheers from germany\n\n?????

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

From PA here and I stand with Sovereign Canada, Ukraine, and all other free Democracies. Pray for us we our losing our country.

And just to say 2 Maga if you don't like democracy get the hell out of this country and go live in North Korea or Russia cuz that's where you belong

Hey Republicans... This is what Leadership is supposed to look like.\nYour Mango Messiah is dumber than a rock, a complete and total moron... but hey, it's all about you and you got abortion laws changed, so keep sucking his itty bitty pee pee... \nTime for Republicans to Stand Up for Democracy. If you ever had a spine, it's time to actually stand up and use it.

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

Canada: There are plenty of Americans 100% with you and the rest of our allies. These are not my presidents (we apparently have two) and my sincere hope is that they will not only be removed from office very soon, but thereafter tried, prosecuted, and imprisoned for high treason against the United States and for defrauding its people. Those of us not fully brainwashed by the right-wing propaganda apparatus are seething with rage and focused on fast and appropriate justice, however it must be achieved. This criminal behavior masquerading as politics will be punished to the maximum extent of the very laws that are being scoffed at by Trump, Vance, Musk, and the rest of the mafioso GOP. History will correct those that choose to remain in tow to lawlessness and treason, and oligarchic fascism will not hold sway in our nation. Let this moment be a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy is and how vigilant we all must be to preserve it.

Tyrannt Trump and his regime don't represent a vast majority of the America people. We don't have enough leaders that stand for our constitution, democracy or the truth. Go Canada, we can take a lesson from you.

He wants to be like Putin. He wants to rule the country as an authoritarian state with his oligarchs. He’s purging the institutions from those who oppose him, intimidating his allies. People have no real power, unless millions will unite and come out to protest, and if the protests will last for months. The press is being censored, no more uncomfortable press in the White House. The propaganda is working overtime. They are actively distorting reality to confuse people. There’s no way back if what’s left from American democracy won’t take actions now. They are moving very fast.

I’m American and do not support Trump’s Russian administration. He’s purposefully sinking our country. The Republicans aren’t doing anything to stop him. We are losing our democracy because Trump is compromised and working for Putin along with Elon.

Brother please write our President and Elon. I don’t think they understand how democracy works!

Despite: \n \n- Releasing felons and undermining the justice system, \n- Picking fights with every U.S. ally, \n- Suggesting NATO can no longer rely on America a direct gift to Russia’s strategic goals, \n- Dismantling government institutions, weakening internal stability, \n- Defying the rule of law and disregarding the separation of powers, \n- Appointing loyalists to key positions, consolidating control, \n- Leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks by scaling back security efforts, \n- Siding with adversarial nations like Russia while alienating traditional allies, \n- Smearing a democratically elected president at war pushing for a regime change that favors Russia, \n- And systematically weakening global alliances, fracturing Western unity to Russia’s benefit, \n- Ignoring the growing threat of Chinese expansion, weakening the U.S. position in global power struggles, \n- Encouraging political violence and extremism, further fracturing the social fabric and putting democracy itself at risk, \n- Turning a blind eye to the economic crisis, with inflation, rising debt, and an unstable market exacerbated by reckless economic policies, \n- Chipping away at civil liberties, normalizing authoritarian behavior, and restricting freedom of speech. \n \nTrump is still your president. \nAnd what does the U.S. have to show for it? \n \n- No strengthened alliances. \n- No economic gains. \n- No enhanced national security. \n- No diplomatic victories. \n- No solid foundation for the future just a nation divided, with its core values slowly eroding. \n \nEvery move seems to serve Russia’s interests while leaving America weaker, more isolated, and more divided. \nAnd yet, there are no mass protests, no storming of the Capitol, no widespread political fallout. The U.S. hasn’t fallen in a blaze. It’s crumbling quietly, a victim of divide and conquer.

US Army Veteran, we need to remove Trump and impeach him. He is a traitor to democracy.

I am really sorry for Canada. We europeans are also getting ready to respond to USA threaths to our economy and democracy. USA is not longer a respectable country and ally until Trump is in charge.

I have no idea what state democracy is in now. What kills me is that before creating tariffs, not once has the Administration shown us numbers as to why? They talk about the trade deficit, but never back up what they say and then we have to put up with high inflation and prices.

I can’t listen to that guy. He talks in hollow words. Throwing in some DEI sprinkles, topping it with some democracy, but really doesn’t do much.
