Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

Trump and his loser clan of idiots is going to destroy the country in less than 4 years. How can any Republican literally accept this as a good decision?

Canada NEEDS the U.S. NOBODY needs Canada. Trudeau is fleecing his own country and needs to be removed.

1939 Stalin & Hitler tried to destroy Europe , 2025 Putin & Trump are willing to do the same...USA is no longer a Reliable Ally for Democratic countries...(so sad !)

and ofcourse trump amde a deal not breaking it usa cant be a trusted country with trump how many contract has he broken and your coutyr will be too and tyhe world stage your russia now and no country will trust you and your not the leader of the free world anymore the one rule for that job YOU MUST BE A FREE WORLD

An American here. I didn't vote for that creature that is destroying our country. I fully support Canada!

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

How is it possible that Americans can't see that the only countries in the WORLD who approve of a single of trump's choices are Hungary, turkey and Russia. Surely that's not the company you want to keep?

Our country is now being run by the sleaziest of conmen and it shows.

Countries sucking off America are finally having the milk bottle cut off !!!

Why is Canada a better country than the one I live in? Thanks MAGAts for fuckin it up for us ALL.

Seems like Trump is trying to ruin the country.

Près Trump must think more than twice bcos it is no way alright for his country men nor the world.

Amazing how many people from different countries start getting mad when we come knocking for fair traid. We're-200 billion trade deficient with Canada and now they're up in arms. We've givin Ukrain 350 billion and Europe has the audacity to call us wavering support? You've given them 100 billion in loans. Hate the US all you want but we backed up our words. Yall didnt.

Trudeau is my hero. I wish our country had a government run by ppl this smart.

Thank You, Prime Minister..you’re a great leader of a great country. Well said.

Make America 3 world country Again.

Donald Trump is an accomplice of a war criminal. Russia has kidnapped 70,000 Ukrainian children. Russia invaded a sovereign country. This is the ultimate shame for the USA. I would never have thought that one day. Shame on America.

We voted to be more independent from other countries. We voted to make America a producer again. \nIf Canada and everyone else wants to be butt hurt about it then so be it. It also makes sense to alight yourself with the country that could take out all of the other countries. Putin won’t live forever either. This is about the long game. America first! \nWe don’t need yall and yall don’t need us so you shouldn’t care and flip out over tariffs lmao

It was leaving isolationism behind that made the U.S. the most powerful country in the world. Everything Trump does is contrary to common sense and decency. He is in this for Donald Trump and his few friends and screw the rest of you.

And our friendship is OVER AMERICA. I will ALWAYS stand with my country Canada.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

Trump knows business, but not economics. Running a country isn’t like running a business—they’re different games with different rules. He’s declared bankruptcy six times—would he use the same reckless tactics on the economy? Hope he realizes the difference sooner rather than later!

As an American who has pride for our military and Canadian heritage, I stand behind PM Trudeau’s decision. He’s just playing defense. Like he said, the US and Canada are not just border allies, they have been our greatest friend. \nIf you are Canadian, please know not all of us voted for this clown who is ruining our country. From North Carolina

The tariffs on Canada and Mexico are not about what they are doing now. The tariffs are about what OUR FRIENDS????? allowed to happen for the last 4 years. They silently witness how illegals invaded our country and how they allowed the Mexican cartels to take over the borders. Many of our young people died to drugs and illegal criminals. Many of our law enforcement died and were kicked by illegals. OUR FRIENDS?????? watched without action and NOW!!!!! they want to play the victim card. Typical from countries that always blame USA for their failures. Cuba and Venezuela are great examples of what happened to countries that separate from the USA.

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

Premier Trudeau, please realize that Trump does not speak for the vast majority of the people of the USA!!! We love Canada and we love the people of Canada and we love to visit your beautiful Country!!! So please remember that Trump was elected based on lies and a minority of our citizens!!!

I apologize on behalf of Americans who still believe in honor and love of country. Our unfit president does not belong in the White House. He belongs in the Big House.

Mr. Trudeau, I am impressed with your candor. I really wish you were leading our country. Thanks for your honesty.

Not just Canada are holding the ground against the bullying of the Trump government, also Mexico, China and European countries are holding their grounds. The US, you are big for sure, but now you have only one friend: Putin.

I loved Canada! I wish we didn’t have this monster FELON running my country.

This is madness. I am sorry for our both countries. One person ruined it for everybody. Sadly, his supporters continue to believe his lies?

Canada, I'm proud of you. Let us people all over the free and democratic world unite against the fascist enemies even in our own countries. It's our own future which is in danger.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

He dives deep into Trumps ass. Will not help. I hope western countries will get that Trump now is on an accelerated path his role model Putin was years before.

Mr. Trudeau, we feel the pain of having a total clown and his puppets running our country. Our Supreme Court has to stand up for us, but the majority of them are in Trump's pocket. We are facing four years in HELL!!

For all the Americans who 'stand' with Canada, you're welcome to try and move there. Once they reject you, compare and contrast their immigration policy to that of your own country.\n\n\nAnd try migrating there without approval. I can't wait until you ironically call them racist, too.

As an American, I feel shame for what our unfit executive team is doing to our country and our relationships with our friends and allies and abandoning the Ukrainians to Putin’s war crimes and immoral war. trump is a morally bankrupt miscreant and an embarrassment to America. Canadian friends , rational Americans will course correct and override this maga extremist scourge..

What??..very dumb thing to do...that's very trump thing to do...if not see the war Trump is starting against all the countries that have not a communist dictator

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

it's not complicated: canadian boomers got rich with houses by making it impossible to build new ones and by flooding the country with migrants. So what are the young canadians going to do? oh right vote for the left because they were brainwashed in every canadian education system. No hope

First rule is don't have idiots running the government of the country

51st. State????❤Trump,make canada the great 51st. Canada is not free or affordable and won't ever be until they join the greatest country in the world, AMERICA. ?

As a Canadian I would do anything to become the 51st state\n\nThe country has failed the younger generation and is by far the worst country in G7, by a LONG shot\n\n(Since i want to leave so bad: migrating to the US LEGALLY is actually kind of difficult)

There WAS a process to enter legally. But these white racist we have in office now ain’t letting anyone into this country that ain’t white. And that’s the fact of the matter.

Brain drain is definitely a big issue. I heard from someone that if you're a US citizen you are required to pay US taxes even if you don't live there and honestly I kind of wish Canada would do the same. If this country raised you and educated you and gave you all the opportunities you've had in your life thus far, you shouldn't get to just up and leave without paying anything back.

Countries like cannada shouldn't even question if the usa wants it as its 51st state as they are doing a favour by taking in a poor third world shitehole

biggest difference is cultural, America is a country where people take risks and face hardships due to free will, Canada is a British colony and Canadians are still peasants, society is very complacent and obedient. I moved from USA to Canada, I live in Alberta which is a freedom loving province, but even here they bend over to the idea of monarchy and how important to support family of German pedophiles that lives in Windsor castle thousands of miles away.

Canadian here....its as bad as I can ever remeber it in my 50 years of living here. Im moving my family out of this country.
