There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

I wish the people who need to hear this would listen.\n\nIn the meantime, Trump is going to try and chop down our national forests to make up for the lumber shortage.

Hundreds of millions of us are against this. We wish for a president like him, we tried so hard to make the other half understand they're being lied to. We are on your side, Canada, were on Ukraine's side, and we are embarrassed, repulsed, and pretty terrified.

I'm an American, and I'm embarrassed by our a-hole president. Please feel free to dump on him as much and often as you wish has so many of us are behind.

I know PM Justin Trudeau has had his critics but he is far more of a statesman than Trump or Vance could ever wish to be! Their actions are tantamount to treason and the great American citizens are being thrown under the bus.

I wish I was born in Canada instead of the USA

I wish that we in the US had an articulate president like this. ☹️

I wish you well Canadians during this time. Well spoken Mr. Trudeau

I wish we had a president that was so eloquent. The hateful orange Nazi doesn’t represent all of us. God bless Canada.

I wish I could emigrate to Canada but I am stuck here in America with that damned fool Trump.

I wish we had a president

A president we wish we had here in the US.

This is phantastic. This is a harsh and direct response! I would have wished that the German (almost Ex-) chancellor Scholz would have reacted the same way after Putins attack on Ukraine in 2022. Dangerous moves need immediate and harsh responses ! Trudeau is a very good president!

Great speech Mr. Trudeau. Best wishes from the Netherlands. We will stand with you.

Kind of wish I had moved up to Canada.

Wish I was Canadian ❤

Wish we had this kinda leader

I wish he would continue as Canada's PM.

I wish we had an honorable and honest president that cared about his people the way this man has done. \nI still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the Felon and his MAGA subjects in Congress have aligned the U.S. with Putin and Russia while stabbing our allies in the back.

I wish I had heard this type of language about Netanyahu .

This guy. Canada, I wish this was not happening. I love your people and country.

Wish he was my president ?\nGreetings from Germany.

What an intelligent and respectabel person! A fantastic speech! ❤Best wishes from Catharina in Sweden! ?????

I almost wish Trudeau was staying. \nAlmost...

SO SORRY we have the A-hole sitting in Oval office that we do Mr. Trudeau!!! You know we're not those people who wish to be at war with any country....ESPECIALLY YOU!! PLEASE give us a minute while we work on getting free of this TYRANT!! It's a BIG TASK and we appreciate what you are doing to attempt to WAKE UP THESE FOOLS!!!!\nTHINK I'LL RELOCATE NORTH OF THE BORDER UNTIL THEN!!

I wish he, and every politician spoke this clearly, succinctly and truthfully all the time\nExtremely well put. This is truly the dumbest trade war in history, and I curse whatever moron first whispered about the scourge of tariffs in Trump's ear.

As someone from the Netherlands, I wish our former prime minister and current NATO leader Rutte responded in a similar way to Trudeau. He was always a true politicians' politician, but the way he stood with the US right after the horrible treatment of Zelensky was a new low. If the majority of US allies responded in a firm manner the way Trudeau just did, it might be enough to scare some Republicans into doing the right thing.

A great President, I wish we have that type of President in our Country.?

I wish our American President looked and talked like this!!!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your courageous and truthful words. U.S. citizens know Canada isn't acting against U.S. citizens, but against the U.S. Federal government as well it should. Canadians are lucky to have you in your role. I wish we here in the U.S. had someone of your caliber in the White House.

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

As an American I stand with Canada. So wish we had a leader like this . Millions of reasonable Americans agree with you

I stand behind Canada and Mexico. I wish people would think for themselves though. Believing every single thing Trump says is the stupidest thing anyone could ever do but MAGAs aren’t educated anyways.

Wish he was our pres?

What a great speech. Balanced, fair and well thought out. Wish we could have politicians of this calibre in the UK.

From Netherlands: Much respect to Canada for how they handle this. With dignity and strength. My best wishes to all Canadians, as well as the Americans that didn't vote for this.

Our Government doesn’t give a ? about us. It’s almost too expensive to live. Struggling has become our new norm. As long as their pockets are full, that’s all that matters. Sure wish you were our President …. Why can’t America be like Canada?…

Wish Trudeau would run in 2028.

America now has an illiterate, severerly nearsighted, reactionary, child- like buffoon as President. Apologies to Canada, I wish we had a President like Trudeau.

American here in the PNW standing with Canada! I wish our current administration was as well-spoken as Trudeau! Instead we get the orange criminal and his chainsaw wielding minion. ?

I wish i was Canadian ?

Gosh he makes so much sense wish he could be the president

I voted for this idiot guy 3 times, now I wish that bullet didn't miss back in July.

How I wish Kamala Harris had won!

Damn, I wish I could move to Canada

I wish I could have such an amazing PM in my country Japan where old spinless and dumb sleepy politicians who do nothing for people who are smart, reasonable, hardworking and ethical. Canadians are not aware of it yet, but you are so lucky to have JT. Look at the US, Japan, Russia, China, North Korea, Israel...etc...ugh.

I wish europeans would find such strong words. We need to stand up together

Wish he was our president!That's what an intelligent articulate leader sounds like.Trump demonstrates his total lack of intelligence and lack of understanding of basic economics. Tariffs only hurt consumers.Canadians deserve better.

It's just refreshing to hear a leader who is an intelligent, educated human being, I wish we had one in America.

I wish I could move to (sane and compassionate) Canada ❤
