Putin has Trump by his pu***. We the people like Canada and Ukraine we don't like putin Russia. F Russia. Trump is a Russian puppet. Wish I would of voted for camel Harris. Trump is a chump

I wish the USA had an adult to lead it like Canada and not a bully who acts like a spoiled child that needs a time out. Trump just go golfing every minute of every day for the next three years and leave the American people to live with the world.

I wish i could have seen her face while he is answering her question

Trudeau, Sir well said. Our Government wishes to hurt us. And you broke down what you have been doing. Your speech is well understood and delivered. Our pockets here in America is already strained, we don’t need this tariff. ??

Makes me wish we had a President like Prime Minister Justin Trudea!

I wish we could have him instead ? thank god I’m at least in California. Safest place in the US

As an american, I really wish I was Canadian rn

I wish I was Canadian

I love Canada. Canada will always be our ally, but there appears to be some “one sided-ness”. I believe the biggest issue being drugs coming across our border. \nAs someone who lives on the border, we see many Canadian cars coming to the US to shop. They even wear clothes that they throw away in dumpsters so they can wear their new clothes back to Canada without having to pay tax. \nI wish they wld accommodate to our requests.\n\nP.S. I love the idea of becoming one nation. I wld love to join as one nation. Nothing forced, I just love the idea. God bless both our countries.\nWe’ll get through this.

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

Despite the actions of the American government, this Torontonian loves and respects his American brothers and sisters. I don't hold this against them, I prefer and wish for a world where we are allies and friends over one where we fight with each other.

Fifty percent of Americans don’t want tRump. We hate what’s happening. We hate him and his fascist ideals. I wish the world would know it. It’s not all Americans. It’s the uneducated, racist, and/or sexist half.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

I really wish we had a president who could speak this eloquently.

Wish we in America had a president this put together. I stand with Canada

Fifty percent of Americans don’t want tRump. We hate what’s happening. We hate him and his fascist ideals. I wish the world would know it. It’s not all Americans. It’s the uneducated, racist, and/or sexist half.

Can we have Trudeau replace the orange dummy that we have in the White House? Just a wish!

I'm so sorry I'm an American and I'm just ashamed as to what's going on and I'm not just one there's millions of people even people who voted for him have changed there . He did not win by a landslide it was really close down to two states. I wish for your country only good things.god bless

I wish Trudeau was our president.

As an American, We could only wish to have such a man as our President, leading our country.

If I could have one wish for the world, this guy should be leader of the soon gone free world ✌️

His answer against Trump’s tariffs is directly harming Canada citizens more so than Americans. \n\nThis tick isn’t on a moral high ground. I WISH this motherfucker would keep escalating this with a president that’ll gladly turn Canada into a fuckin theme park.

I wish Trudeau was our president

A neurologist should thoroughly examine Trump's brain, as I strongly suspect the presence of significant anomalies. It is conceivable that some of these could be addressed through medical intervention. However, in his current state, his cognitive and behavioral responses appear untenable. It would be prudent to declare him temporarily unfit for decision-making until his condition improves. Wishing him a swift and full recovery!\n\nPeople of Canada, we in Germany hold you in high regard and stand with you. Stay strong—we will support you ❤

You sound so normal and understandable. How I wish we had that right now. I never voted for Rump and it didn't matter. I don't know how we to fix this. His supporters are completely brainwashed and getting literally different information. The US needs help.

I'm watching the play back BUT, I wished Pamela and the other reporter woulda SHUT THE HELL UP so we could hear the ACTUAL questions! THE FUCK!!!

I sure wish we had a leader like canada. We have a mentally unfit old man in charge of our country. So happy canada is not backing down to the bully donald. I wish i could go live in canada untill the imature child 4 yrs. Is past. So sorry to you canada for what this immature bully is doing. So sorry for a convicted felon, sexual predator, has done to the countries.

I wish Trudeau was our president. Awesome speech. Truthful, candid, and blunt.

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

Wish Trudeau was the US president

I wish we had a president as intelligent and as handsome as this man ?

I wish we could make it make sense, most of the country did not vote for him. But too many people who would've voted against him decided to stay home. We can't seem to do a damn thing to change it!

I would not want to live down there with the pervasive American attitude. I thought my American friends were lovely people, but then we went to a restaurant together. I was flabberghasted by how they ALL spoke down to the waitress, as if she was beneath them. You can pick out the American tourists here, by how they talk to service people. I wish I could say this was a stereotype, but i live in a tourist town and see it every day.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

Good for you Canada! I’m an American but at the current moment I wish I wasn’t. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and China. Please don’t back down at any point. If you do…orange face has won!

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

IDGAD what anyone says, Im gonna miss this guy??, but I will wish him well? thank you JT for all you did for us Canadians?

USA bet you wish you were still a part of GB and therefore a Constitutional Monarchy instead of a dead democracy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

I wish we had a president with this IQ.

I wish I was a Canadian at this time in my life!

I wish we had a leader like you in the US Mr. Trudeau! i never voted for Trump. He is a horrible president.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

Lots of opinion spoken over the prime minister. I wish I could have heard his q and a

I wish that I was Canadian. I don't support Donald, Elon, or the Republican Party, nobody should.

I love you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, you are good & forthright. Wish i could move to Canada!

Courage and integrity in your country's executive leader... I wish we could say the same ?

Now you Americans i bet you wish you had voted for Harris

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Mr. Trudeau, I wish you could be the American president. You have more of what we need than trump ever thought about. To my Canadian friends, my apologies. My country has entered an embarrassing period of time. We will resolve this, but it will take time. In the meantime, please know that the problem is our president, not our people.
