TRUMP NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED! IMPEACHED! IMPEACHED!\n\nTrudeau is a great leader! He should be USA President.

Sorry, Canada, Trump represents a monkey wrench to me. We need a crisis in this country to raise the chances that we will not only unite against Trump, but the establishment as well. Truthfully, we need an alternative party in the US.

Trump needs to be in jail, trialed for treason

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

Yeah that not a good move Trump. We need to find a way to make him change his mind.

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

Trump’s tariffs are hurting everyone!! Utterly ridiculous! We need our allies and friends just like they need us. These tariffs are jeopardizing our freedom or economy and our security!!!

Musk and his team of nazi’s are terrorizing Americans while Trump is terrorizing America’s allies. The only thing that makes sense is that Putin is demanding payback for putting Trump in the White House. An immediate investigation is needed into Trump’s relationship with Putin.

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

Lol this guy is a straight Rat. Like trump said, we dont need anything from Canada. ??

Someone needs to dethrone Trump. He is the organized crime that we need to fight. He is the terrorist.

Canadian here, Trump knows our common border is not a Fentanyl highway. He is deliberately destroying our economies and needs to be held accountable for this. He also needs to be accountable for his ongoing bromance with Putin as disgusting as that sounds. Man is a psycho.

Trump is insane and needs to be stopped?

All Americans that are anti trump, make a stand, a proper one and get him out. Seems so many could do so much more than what is currently being done. You need to do what Vermont did everywhere!

After a speech like this, he will need to do at least a 20 min Sorry and Thank you in the Oval office for Trump to forgive him.

Trudeau needs to continue to stand up against trump. Please don’t resign. The next guy might capitulate.

Anti-Americanism??? These reporters don’t seem to understand this is a result of trump’s actions and his alone. Any pain felt on both sides of the border are his fault and only his. trump did this. Your reporting should reflect this reality and blame needs to be given where it is due - at trump’s feet.

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Definitely an articulate speaker- unlike Trump’s vocabulary of a 4th grader. \n\nWill Trudeau’s speech be broadcast on Fox News? The MAGA viewers need to watch this.\n\nSpoiler alert: All the Republican Congressmen puppets will line up and condemn Canada.

Trump is a bully. He knows that Canada is vulnerable. Trump wants the Auto industry in Canada moved to the U.S.. This will increase the cost of vehicles in the U.S. Trump does not care. If he can harm Canada he will be pleased. He wants to control Canada.. Canada is guilty of not arranging an alternative to the Keystone pipeline. The U.S. refineries need the Canadian heavy oil. If Canada had created pipelines to Vancouver they would be in a better position but as it is Trump wins.

lol we get enough lies from our own government we don’t need any other county trying to govern us as well. Trump is changing things. It’s not the same government you’ve pansied with for the last 4 years. Get your big boy panties on Trudeau. You have no one to border your country except the us dummy. You don’t have the Mexican cartel coming from the south that has to get through the USA first.

I was never a fan of Trudeau, but compared to Trump he is a breath of fresh air. Give it 3 years and 10 months and Americans will be back to sanity. Don't know if America will be in one piece though. After the three stooges have fired everyone, and taken away their social security, and our soldiers dying for no reason against our allies, and the VA system disbanded from helping past soldiers who made sacrifices for this country, while the dollar has lost most of its value, while inflation is through the roof....yes it will be tough. To our Canadian and Mexican neighbors, do what you have to do to inflict pain on the meatheads in America who think Trump is their savior. They need to be taught a valuable lesson.

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

LOL all of Trudeau’s ideas are Trump’s ideas. Why is he taking action now to correct all those problems? Canadians need to wake up and get rid of this weak clown.

As an American i support Canada, do what you need to do for your country and people. Trump is the worst president of my lifetime and thats saying a lot.

The audacity and disrespect, bullying behaviour of Trump saying that Canada should be 51st state of the US. Trump is definitely siding with Putin, and mirroring his behaviour and ideology. It's outrageous! Ppl need to start rallying and protest

These actions against Canada are disgraceful. For the first time in my life I feel ashamed to say I’m an American. If there was ever a more fitting time to overthrow an American President the time is now. Trump needs to go.

As a U.S. citizen, I don’t want this. Trump is out of his mind and only the crazy people voted for him. Trump and Vance need to be GONE!!!

The only thing I disagree with Trudeau about is that Trump is intelligent. Trump is clearly a fool and a coward. Good luck USA. You are going to need it.

Excellent speech, PM Trudeo we are watching from United Kingdom, and President Trump is making the biggest mistake. American public needs to raise a voice.

trump doesn't care about the people. he is stealing and making money hand over fist and all this confusion is helping him out. it's all about stealing as much as he can as fast as he can. we need to impeach the idiot!!!!!!

Trump and Vance need to be removed from office along with Musk.

Dude you screwed your people over and the trucker's especially with all the environmental cr#*p and your not a leader you need to step down and respect TRUMP.

CNN has to be on their A-game when interviewing Trump Admin people in the next few days. They need to explain why their dear Leader has decided to do it, and to challenge their bullshit. There seems to be no rationale reason.

The American people hired Trump to do exactly what he’s doing. Tired of being the world’s bank. Trudeau DO NOT LECTURE AMERICANS. You need to address your own citizens. You’ve destroyed Canada. You should resign. You’re a commie. Just like your daddy Castro.

When will the Western leaders wake up, they still talk about friends. Trump is not a friend. Trump looks up to Dictator and it is clearly his big dream to make the US the same type of regime, he does nothing but tell the less intelligent Americans that Putin etc. are not the bad guys, they need to get used to the idea that that type of regime is a good thing. So it is easier to try to maintain power

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

Sorry Canada, many Americans are embarrassed and pissed off by Trump's inane traitorous, harmful agenda, stand firm against Trump, Musk, MagaMuskRats, the billionaire class, all the spineless cowardly GOP politicians in Congress and the POS quiet corporate Dems. We need more like Raskin, Crockett and AOC and fewer establishment Dems like Schumer and Jeffries. Always vote Progressive Blue and RESIST, PROTEST, BOYCOTT, REBEL, DEMONSTRATE!

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

We need help ridding us of the Orange Buffoon in the White House. Most of us side with Canada now and are embarrassed by the truly ignorant ass named trump

Jesus, it feels like Trump has been in power for a year, is this how he intends to make America great again? Now tyranny no longer needs to be camouflaged, diplomacy being replaced by exacerbated supremacy.

Trudeau said something every America needs to listen to trump wants to become a dictator like putin and control all Americans ?

Trump is a Loser Pathological Liar Bully, WHO NEEDS TO BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY WITH HIS OWN MEDICINE, IF TRUMP IS UGLY AND DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR ALLIES FRIENDS, OUR ALLIES NEED TO TREAT TRUMP THE SAME, IT IS A DOUBLE EDGE SWORD. AMERICANS WILL DEMAND THE FAT ASS TRUMP RESIGN!

Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire oligarchs...unlike you who care about the people of Canada, trump does not care, our well being and ability to survive his schemes, taking our tax dollars for his rich friends, do what you must to protect your good people and just come back with humanitarian help for any remaining needs Americans once trump is eliminated!! Go Canada, take care of yourselves at any cost. 49.5% of idiot Americans voted for this situation, so they need to suffer trumps rather before they ta k è action to stop him!

With a friend like Trump you don´t need an enemy.

Better get used to it Canada (and Europe), your nearest neighbour is now officially a Friend and Ally of Putin and Russia!\nThis is the Real Donald Trump we are now seeing. \nHe's been deeply involved with them for Decades, maybe now we need to know why?

Trump uses foreign affairs spectacles to distract the public attention from the hardships the economy of the declining U.S. empire causes its citizens. \nHe is the most danngerous person in history, to the foundation of the U.S. \nThe 2 important things to be aware of re: current the situation of the U.S.: \n1. The deccline of the American emmpire and the dennial/ignoring of that fact by the government, business community and mainstream media. \n2. The fact that strikes and demonstrations will not be effective in bringing the required systemic change to the American systems of government and economy, that the American working class needs so urgently and badly. \nThe only way for the working class in the U.S. to change its fate, is by revvolting, and then establishing Soccialism as the system of government and economy: \nOnly through a Soccialist Revvolution can the working class in the U.S. change its current dreadful situation. The working class is about 97% of the population of the U.S. they are many, many millions of people, many more than the employer class, and so they can act and achieve that crucially important goal.

A world boycott is needed against trump's crew

The last time I purchased a vehicle it was made in Alabama . My next vehicle will be made in Ontario . Canadians will stick together . We don't have a big economy but , we don't need a big economy . The USA doesn't buy our oil , natural gas and hydro just to be polite . Everything is on the table . We will use everything at our disposal before we allow our economy to tank and roll over for Donald Trump .
