More power to you PM Trudeau, your people and your country ❤

Trump and MAGAism won't last for ever. The real problem is that the longer this madness continues, the longer the US will take to get back it's power and influence. The rest of the world understands that the problem comes from an incapable and illiterate leader but it also understands that this could happen again. America might take decades to regain trust. The longer MAGA dominates the American people then the longer it will take America to rise back to it's former status. It is so very tragic. When America rises from the fire, and it will rise , it will be a phoenix of pride and right, but it will be a proud and righteous bird with one wing.

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

As a Canadian who is not a fan of Trudeau, this was very well said and powerful.

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

If you can't see that Trump is a Russian asset at this point, you're a complete and utter moron. He's LITERALLY going after Canada, NATO, Mexico, and Ukraine....each of which is making Putin more powerful.

Justin .. we know.. turn off the power.. turn it off friend .. is ok.. we will still be good neighbors

Powerful speech from our PM. Proud to be Canadian ❤?????

Stop using words such as friends and allies. The US have chosen to established allies with Russia and abandoned Canada, Mexico, the EU, and NATO. Ditch the US. Ban with the global community and gang up on trump and the US economy. Use our power as members of the British Commonwealth and friends with the EU.

why is this guy still allowed to make these propaganda speeches? he resigned and nobody wants him on power of canada

Thank you for this, Mr. Trudeau. As an American. At some point a line had to be drawn, you can't just keep coddling a power-hungry toddler forever. I feel more hopeful that Canada's action will bring positive change to America than that our administration will protect any of us.

When will countries realize America is the friend to NO one. America has always been a bully, a war monger and enjoys war profiteering. America is designed to create instability and war in regions all over the world with the sole purpose of American domination, power and control. The world needs to move away from America with harsh sanctions.

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Canadian here … It is abhorrent that Donald Trump was voted into power, again. He should have lost his ability to be on the ballot. It’s outrageous and sickening what he’s been getting away with. I love the USA and grieve at what is happening between our countries.

Trump doesnt kno da true meaning of friend. So Da People are in trouble. And We Da People didnt vote him in. Da secret dark in da back did. Have no one notice dat NOBODY ever liked trump dat much to vote him in. Many/majority People been hating on trump since his first run. Powerful people in da background put him in anyway

Sims to America, Amerca, we are losing the World power, World leadership, mostly our many many years of great friends from Europe, Asia, and all round the world. Even our neighbor Canada and Mexico. World need Peace, World need harmony. Peace and Love!

You get the government you deserve. I blame the American voters that put this lunatic in power, and his supplicant MAGA GOP. Hurting our best and biggest allies, and realigning with an evil dictator, Putin is the recipe for disaster for America. Russia is not the world power it once was, but that is the aim of Putin to revive the old Soviet Union. The EU will stand up for Ukraine, with the rest of the world. Then, the U.S. will be left with broken alliances, and only the axis of evil as friends.

First, We as Canadians do truly care for the Americans who didn't Vote for Trump. But it's time we shut off the power and see what baby ?Trump will do..Time for him to back the Fuck up Canada has had it with your Dumb Ass

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

What's not talked about enough are those who enable Trump for his unconstitutional and illegal actions and standby as his crimes are committed when they have the power to stop it. \n\nWhere are the checks and balances? They are complicit and deserve life in prison for treason.

This canadian prime minister only talk , european leaders only talk they don’t have power to talk russian president putin, shame EU last three years can’t stop war only talking

Trump has invented the emergency with Canada to avoid Congress and use executive powers to slap a tax (taxation without representation) like a King would, on the US people. Last time this happened tea was thrown into the river and the US fought their war of independence.\n\nIt’s time to declare independence from Trump/MAGA

LOL America is a country ruled by dictator and the most powerful people I don’t feel sorry for you, it’s unfortunate for the normal people.

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

Soon 7 year tribulation and rapture of believers\n\nI am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.\nThe simplicity IN Christ willing none perish\nBELIEVE and put your faith and trust in Him alone. We are all sinners in need of a Saviour.\n\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\n18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\n\nNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”\n\nJesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.\n\nFor I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek\nTHE GOSPEL WHICH SAVES \n\nMoreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;\n2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.\n3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;\n4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.\nJesus , the second person in the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son, Jesus, God the Holy Spirit. One God in three persons, the word who was with God and was God ( Jesus) the Christ, who is the eternally existing Son of God, came by blood and water , who is eternal life, fully God , fully man , layed down His Glory was born of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit , lived a perfect , sinless life, shed His sinless blood, to pay the sin debt for the world, He died was buried and rose on the third day \n\nIn whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.\n\nFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:\n9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

Like the vast majority of Americans, may you know that my husband and I feel the same way as you, Prime Minister Trudeau! We are appalled and disgusted with the catastrophic damage that our government is causing to our dear allies, and it grieves us deeply that Putin is being treated with respect while we are literally stabbing our loyal, long-standing allies in the back. I have no words to convey our absolute horror in the face of such disrespectful, disgusting, and dangerous behavior! Our sincere apologies, and may God have mercy on all those souls who have already paid the highest price for these selfish, power - driven decisions!

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Can I move to your country? I don’t want America and I certainly didn’t vote for the power struck orange anus with the horrible wig!

US president should not have all the power to decide on tarrif especially for a under educated president like trump

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

Powerful speech from PM Trudeau! So much wisdom.\n\nWe Finns are on your side dear Canadians! I have now started to be more conscious from where are all the goods and stuff that are available for purchase here in Finland really coming from. I just bought a big smoked fish originated from Canada at the local grocery store and from now on, starting to look carefully our labels to get this support to the right address. ❤

On behalf of the American people, we are so sorry for our fascist dictator, and we hope and pray we can take him out of power ASAP! We are all terrified, disgusted, and shocked. Just trying to figure out WHAT we can possibly do to fight back. Thank you, Canada!

A big part of America’s power isn’t just about its military or econom it’s about its allies. The U.S. doesn’t act alone; it has a web of partnerships that make it stronger. NATO, defense agreements, and strategic alliances give it global reach and help deter threats. Its allies also boost trade, innovation, and diplomacy, making sure the U.S. isn’t just a superpower on its own but part of a network that reinforces its influence. When the U.S. moves, it often moves with others, and that collective strength is a big reason why it holds so much power worldwide. This is at risk

It’s simple: Trump wants to replace Canadian commodities with Russian commodities! Shame on our NATO partner. This Canadian says pull the plug on the power exports.

In 4 short weeks, Trump has demonstrated to it's allies that their deals with the US are not worth the paper they are written on. This was never about fentanyl and it was never about border security. It was always about power, control, and money. About breaking Canada’s economy and independence, about forcing us into submission. Trump and his cult have clearly aligned themselves with Russia and are doing Putin's bidding. The democratic world must now regard and treat the US as it does any of the other non-democracies in the world, not as an ally to be consulted, but as an adversary to be contained.

Is china and the us are the two countries in the world that are powerful and not

??❤?? No one is going to be terrorized by the spoiled donkey that has now come to power in the White House

Canada you need this man to remain in power

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you.

Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

This guy needs to stay in power.

BRAVO CANADA!!!! More power to you all!!! - old lady yank

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

No fan of his but well done…. America will be a pariah in the world soon not a power a country no one want

After surviving every downturn, terrorism, world wars. \nIt turns out one man has the power to destroy the USA. \nTrump has to go.

Why are we only retaliating only 25%, slap stupid Trump with 50% tariffs as he thinks he has all the power in the world. I hope all the world leaders stick together & shut this idiot down!!!

Unfortunately this well founded , intellectually solid argument will be completely lost on an illiterate buffoon that currently occupies the oval office. Trump stands only for a self seeking dictatorship. He lack the basic brain power to appreciate what he has done.

No worries Canada ?...we know Trump is Hell Bent power hungry 4 worldwide Domination

“As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.” - 1 Samuel 17 \nThe story of David and Goliath, is that even when facing seemingly insurmountable odds, faith in God and courage can lead to victory, regardless of one's size or experience; it highlights the importance of not underestimating oneself and trusting in a higher power when confronted with seemingly impossible challenges. ???
