Canada has no choice, as an american I wish I did. This dictatorship was not the people's choice

Now there is a REAL president. Trudeau is a REAL leader, I wish he were ours. He's a smart and good man. I can't say that about ours.

Great speech, with no stupidity or bullying! I wish you were our leader!

As a German, I wish for a president like that for our country. Clear, strong, to the people!

American here. Elbows up! I wish I could boycott my own country.

Wish this guy was our President now....someone with common sense!

I wish the Stupid people of America ?? had the sense to vote for a real leader like this Guy.

Wish we had a real man like Trudeau in charge.

pootin has something on trump and trump is sacrificing working americans to save himself and his rich cronies.how many people now wish the bullet hadnt missed.

It saddens me to be an American. I wish it wasn’t so, but at the moment that is the truth. Maybe one day I will be a proud American.

American here and I wish we had you as a president ❤ I can’t believe what is happening

Wow! I wish we could be one of your states (Provinces). Trump is a bum.

I wish my ancestors had stayed in Canada ?? if you turn our electricity off it will be our governments fault.

dont we wish trump had the knowledge to speak as well as he dones n also his telling us are government n trump does not really give an f about its citizens

Damnit I wish I was Canadian..

I wish that was my president. Not the psychopathic dementia ridden orange monster.

Mr Trudeau, we love you and wish you stay in power!! You are an excellent leader! Much respect❤\nLove from Texas

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

What are great speech! i wish we have leader like Trudeau, not wacky,crazy and dumb as Trump.

Wish he was our president!

WOW Treudeu nailed it. Wish they just joined our European union. Imagine the strenght. Does Donald know how much American companies are in ireland alone. 25% tariff on Intel, google, meta etc .. or maybe we hit it were it hurts him most, his precious golf course. ???

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

I wish Justin Trudeau was America's President

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

Wish I were Canadian!

I wish our European leaders would be like him

Oh how I wish we had a young and intelligent president

Treudeau is a very good man a fair man wish he was our president .trump is none of those.

This is an apology to Canadians and the rest of the world for the complete ignorance of Donald Trump. Wish I could explain how such a fool got voted into our highest office but I can't.

As a Brut I wish you'd all become Canadians over there in North America. The difference is night and day

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

I think what you are doing is right. I wish our leaders had the same compassion for humanity. Thank you for all you do Canada

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

I wished I lived in Canada!

I love Canada. Wish there was something personally i could use to help. ❤❤❤ Trump is Dumb and self-centered.

❤ understood and appreciate Canadian honesty. \n\nTrump wants us to suffer. I wish there was a way for citizens to bring Trump up on charges of crimes against humanity.

I wish Trudeau was our president...from a heartbroken American..

It's not about Fentanyl (tm) it's about Donald wishing to raise money.

I wish Trudeau was our President.

Very good speech President Justin Trudeau!!! Wish you come back for our President for another 4 years or more! You are strong, professional and work for people of Canada. You care for your country and not against. We need you ?

I wish Trudeau was our leader.

As an American we are ashamed, absolutely ashamed of what Trump is doing. God have mercy! I wish so much things could be otherwise. Praying for us all. ?❤️ As an American we don’t want this!!!

Imagine once being the country that so many allies and neighbors sought refuge in—only to become this. Damn. I wish we had a leader who could articulate himself this well or actually cared about humanity. Those of you who voted for this will soon see and feel the consequences of your actions. The truth is, Trump isn’t smart— and unfortunately, neither are most Americans.

“I won’t sugarcoat it”… I wish I was Canadian & had that leadership?

Mexico and Canada have to do what they have to do to protect their people and their countries. I wish I could say the same for our country!

Luv'n Trudeau.❤ We want your sanity and eloquence here brother. Wish you could be eligible to run for US Prez in '28. We reject our dumbass ??.??

I wish he is the president of the us

World only recognizes the power of money and economy , America is the largest economy in the history . America is not Charity to help other over its people interests . Thank you Mr. president Trump . I wish my country leaders love their country as you do to your country . Salute Mr. President Donald Trump

I wish he would stay as PM
