Here’s you cake Trump, sit down and eat it all up, and think about your actions!

Trudeau is a lier, you have open border ... talk talk , no action. Talk talk.

The convicted criminal and his vice president exercising abuse of power, beings without values, without respect for human life. The words do not match their actions. The liar will not get off scot-free, true ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the fact of refusing to acquire it, the worst thing is to deal with an ignorant person and it is especially dangerous if the ignorant has power. The convicted criminal announces his ignorance when he speaks.

If this speech doesn’t force Trump to think again, then Trump will be cementing his Dumb actions into history and Common knowledge. This was a powerful and Concise speech.

What's more disturbing than the actions of trump (Putin's puppy) is the vast number of Americans who support him. Ronald Reagan will be turning over in his grave thinking that the Republicans have gone Commie

I support TRUMP on his take on UKRAINE. You can’t talk tough from a place of weakness. If America stops supporting, Ukraine is finished and this talk about after Ukraine NATO countries are next is total nonsense(if Russia does then just activate article 5 and shut the f up). You cannot talk about negotiation and diplomacy while insulting your opponent. Trudeau is a liar and we can’t forget his actions in trying to rewrite history by bringing Zelenskyy to congress and applauding a Nazi Veteran and calling Russia the aggressor in the 2nd world war. That will never be forgotten SILLY!!!!!!

If the actions worked so fast and well why they didn't do it before. Because they didn't care.

We know Trudeau is a liar and can’t create a good reciprocity economy. Trudeau is helping democrats push drugs and trafficking he has help and participated in criminal actions and now he acts all innocent. President will bring him down and save his people.from Trudeau himself.

American here, Canadians are our neighbors and friends. It is understood that Trumps actions will hurt all of us. We know that Canada must take action. Prime Minister Trudeau is a wise leader. I respect his actions.

It is sad but this is exactly what Trump is wanting. He is creating chaos and attacking our friends so he can create an emergency and declare martial law. In effect Trump is becoming a dictator who aligns with Russia and will be Putin's puppet. Great speech from PM Trudeau. I support Canada and all actions they take against Trump, regardless of how that will hurt us. This is ALL Trump's fault.

Wondering when the first impeachment action is started. May be sooner than later.

I am an American. The actions taken by Trump is appalling! I stand with our allies!???????

Of course, the legacy corporate media is all about filling as much time as possible distracting/diverting from the crux of the matter, the underlying major F__KING PROBLEM—trump destroying the economy and security ON PURPOSE under the direction of PUTIN. But hey, let’s focus on how dumb his actions are, not WHY.

Trump's actions are a dream come true for Russia & China. It will weaken the US and the west.

I hate being stuck on the wrong side. Such an elegant leader Canada has. We Americans that don’t agree with our president are stuck with his embarrassing actions and his cabinet members that are very unqualified to be in their positions. Unbelievable. \nDump the Trump!

As a American, I have become entirely jaded and have nothing but frustration, anger and anxiety towards actions of the supposed leader of this nation. Hearing this leader speak is so refreshing.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

As a veteran I find traitor trump's actions to Canada, Mexico as total ly stupid. His actions will hurt the American people more than we can imagine. Aligning with putin is treasonous, cause that's what traitors do.

This shows that no one is scared of trumps actions

As an American, I stand with Canada and all other nations that are standing up to DT's autocratic and evil actions.

This and other actions is the beginning of the Fall of the U.S,The most High God has already prophesied our downfall, of his rejection of him and being a Rebellious and Sinful Nation, Judgements are coming,A strong man of Europe is coming,A new European Roman Revival Superpower is down the road,it will shock the world!He will have no mercy,we will be invaded and punished says the most High God,A Realignment of Europe is coming,The Beast power,will Dominate the whole world ?????

Justin may not be liked but this is an example of a politician not only giving straight truthful information but also taking action. Trump thinks bully tactics will give him a negotiation advantage. A tactic he is now applying at a global level. No one will win in this situation due to the bubble of lies that the US public lives and believes is truth. A horrible situation.

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

All talk no action—get a shovel and get to work people

As a American, I have become entirely jaded and have nothing but frustration, anger and anxiety towards actions of the supposed leader of this nation. Hearing this leader speak is so refreshing.

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

I fear Trump sets up this ecalating trade war in oder to justify military action / annexation of canada. As stupid as it sounds I wouldnt even be surprised any more.

This man is so hated by his own people that he resigned 2 months ago and his replacement is set to take office sometime soon. Don’t let his way with words sway you the way it did Canadians for almost a decade. That is all he is— all words and no action.

Anyone with any intelligence, in the intelligence community, knows Russian asset behavior when they see it. It is quite obvious that the President of the United States is compromised and working directly for the Russians now. I believe Putin has very damning video and audio of terrible sins that Trump committed while in Russia for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant. His so-called friends, the Alagarovs set him up, but Putin and the FSB were behind the entire operation, to be sure. There is no evil or traitorous action Trump will not take to save his own ass. Guaranteed.

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

I live outside of Seattle Wa and visit Canada a lot and I have to say that we the normal thinking people that vote for Ms. Harris are very sorry for the mindless action of the 4 F COWARD the grifter the com man the liar.. the rapist and convicted felon.

This is not the work of American people; this is the action of a spoiled child who wants to show his billionaire friends that he is the bully on the playground. He is what you get when racist, ignorant people vote based on hate and bias. Unfortunately, their ignorance will hurt us all.

Dear America, we are breaking up with you. It's not you It's....wait....wait a minute...yeah, it is you. It's all about you and we can't take it anymore. Your whining, crying, bullying when you don't get your own way. Your selfishness and failure to see what impact your actions are having on us as well as others. So, I'm sorry, not sorry, but we are done. Don't call us. We'll call you....Maybe....

I appreciate other countries fighting back. It’s going to take serious action to stop Trump. I want all countries to help to stop Trump. I couldn’t with my vote for VP Harris. Perhaps now his supporters will understand what they have done by voting for Trump. It didn’t have to be this way.

I don't want this either. My government is failing to protect us from the predatory actions of Trump and Musk.

Only people in the U.S., who subscribe to the Cult of Donald J. Trump approve of his actions. Trump is the Cult Leader, but it is so sad he is forcing all of us to drink his home brewed Kool-Aid.

Trump and his Buddy Putin are 2 of a kind. They are downright Vicious! \nInhumane Greed! They will hurt all people! They will meet their Maker and will suffer the consequence of their own actions. They are Completely responsible for the suffering caused to Many many innocent people. Including Americans. They have no Soul! Pure Evil!

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

Pm Trudeau if you see this, know that there is no winning against our clown ? president. You already lost the moment you started caring about how this will affect the people. Because this president doesn’t care about his actions affect the low income families. He already fired federal employees and shut down aid programs all this to have money to back his plans.

I am an American and Canada I don’t want this either. But you need to do what needs to be done and I support that!! You go Canada! I did not vote for Trump, and I want Trump to fail, because if he doesn’t, I will lose my right to vote. Trump has never been held accountable for his actions! He needs to be arrested for treason and terrorism.

Justin Trudeau ruined Canada .Canadians has been suffering for years because of his actions. These tariffs might make it worse

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Dear Honorable Justin P. Trudeau, respectfully, you are correct. Please focus on wise actions. Leave the press to fish for any media on Donald. He uses ever second the camera is running to turn heads and make smoke where there is no fire.

Well maybe if your actions against the drug trade work they'll drop the tariffs. Talk is cheap.

Trump's actions are not those of an ally. He's a terrorist that wants to annex Canada like Putin did with Ukraine.

Make no mistake. . . Trump is after CANADA. Donnie, we are NOT your Louisiana Purchase. We are NOT your Alaska Acquisition.\n\nTrump thinks he is smart, and regardless of what Trudeau said. . . Smartness is measured by actions.

You allowed millions of tons of drugs and immigrants into our country. You are not our friend. Look at all the money these politicians have made using our tax dollars but they care about us. If anyone believes this then you should really do some research and actions speak louder than words. Nothing against Canada but this man has had years upon years to change things but now with tariffs 5 weeks in and problem solved. Sorry that's not how it works.

Its infuriating what tRump is doing against our allies in order to score points with his puppet-master, putin. His actions are traitorous and need to be treated as such.???

As an American for the whole of my 70 years, I applaud the actions of PM Trudeau. Please know that the majority of Americans value our friendships in this global community, and are ashamed of the actions taken by Donald Trump. I can only hope and pray that this insanity ends soon.
