Dear American readers, \n \nWe, the world, have long lauded your patriotic convictions in pursuit of a just democracy. \n \nJohn Wilkes Booth ✅ \nCharles J. Guiteau ✅ \nLeon Czolgosz ✅ \nLee Harvey Oswald ✅ \n \nSadly, we've noticed your recent decline. \n \nThomas Matthew Crooks ❎❎❎ \n \nNow that the Demolitia is going away, can someone please stand up for democracy ( and aim between the eyes? ). \n \nBetween the eyes, not the ear! \n \n*Free speech MAGGOTS, come cry to me about it.

One can wonder if someone owes Putin a big favor for helping to manipulate last American elections and this is just his way to repay for it

Dictator calling someone else a dictator is hilarious???

Someone please get Trump out of America forever!

He's totally contradictory, he says the border has been great yet he's spending a billion making it better. Clearly a major issue is fentanyl and how many Americans are affected. Anyhow hasn't he gone yet? Canada I know you want someone better than this guy.

Actually the convicted felon is not smart. At 12:01 he showed the world how stupid he really is. he should burn his s**tty book, the fart of the steal, and seek advice from someone with a brain that understands economics. undoubtedly the idiot doesn't understand that he loses also. And the clown rages on.

Lot of talk from someone that resigned recently due to COMPLETE lack of support of his own country

As a American i support Trump and the taxes Canada has allowed the chinese ccp in their country has been practicing a unfair trade on the Americans for many years now finally someone standing up Trump 2024

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

someone will be making a fortune on the stockmarket when tariffs are called off - another way the billionaires are manipulating the system to gain more

Hey Trudeau, go con someone else we elected Donald Trump to do what he’s doing.

Someone is projecting

It all makes sense when you realise Trump doesn't see Canada or Europe as friends any more. He's completely lined up with Putin, someone I believe he desires to emulate. He is perhaps considering Canada as his Ukraine.

Thank God someone has the courage to speak out against Trump. Someone in the administration needs to take the bull by the horns and speak out against him in no uncertain terms over the long haul.

How can the US stand with someone who is bent as a nine bob note.

Great speech and great to see Trump called out directly and specifically. If Trump is not an idiot he is a traitor, either way the US is being led by someone not fit for office.

What a spineless idiot. You MURDER your country economically, refuse to crack down on your borders, then play the victim? You had 30 days and did nothing, you need to resign and let someone with a brain lead your country.

Trudeau, you are a unmitigated IDIOT!! Any American that buys into your bullshit is an idiot. We know there are many liberal IDIOT'S in America. However Trump is not one of them.. The American people stand with Donald Trump.. Save your B.S. for someone else.

5 eyes security is dead. Keep your eyes and ears open USA. God forbid someone is plotting another 9/11 Friends you guys once relied on may be hesitant to stand by you. DJT has proved his government is not to be trusted. As much as th rest of the world needs the USA. USA needs the rest of the world.

This is how a true leader talks; and not trying to bully someone because you're insecure about yourself.

Thank you, Merci, gracias. It's about time that someone confronts this meglamaniac that is in the White House. F... them. Those that support and defend him are at least ignorant, if not stupid. It's time to stop him in his path.

That's someone I'd love to have as a leader in the US. Not this turd

The asterisk beside all those talking points is that those stats came AFTER the announcement of the tariffs...Trudeau has systematically crippled Canada. The US has all the resources that Canada does, but why harm your lands when you can buy from someone else?...the US is a consumer, but with the ability to self sustain. Mexico and Canada are mad their best customer is tightening their wallet. It's all postering.

Someone stop Trump

Did Trudeau ( the guy who froze bank accounts of peaceful protestors) just accuse someone else of being a dictator?

My family stands with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. I hate what's happening here in America. I wish someone would just come along and boot Trump, Musk, Vance and all of Maga out.

Good to see Trudeau go to war with someone other than the Canadian people. ???

I saw someone say 'Trump has done more for Russia, than Russia has done the last 100 years'

A true leader. Canada was lucky to have him. We’re stuck with someone who is purposely harming us and our livelihoods to benefit himself and his rich friends.

Can you please put someone up there to speak to Trump with a set of balls! Also Justin, Canada wouldn't be as bad off right now if you had done your job correctly for the last 9 years. We are STILL ALL BLAMING YOU!

a leader that can speak to every side of the issue. he is such the stark contrast to who America 'elected'. Someone has to carry the torch of Democracy.

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

Can someone help me understand...what is Trump's strategy (long or short term) with these tariffs?

As much as I dislike Trudeau, I appreciate his candour and directness in his speech especially to Donald. It is also very pleasing to listen to someone who can eloquently articulate their thoughts.

Go Trudeau! At least someone is standing up to him. From a US citizen who will probably be hit with the consequences - but I cheer you on!

maga shiteheads: this is how words are formed to make full sentences - quick and easy, to form a clear message. \never heard trump talk like a man? or even a teen? let me ask you.. someone who can barely form a thought and put it into words is, in your opinion, qualified to lead an entire country? because you're in the #FO stage, deservingly.

An intelligent leader who can give a great coherent speech. I wish we had someone like that here in America

As an American, Thank you PM Trudeau for standing up for your people. I only wish we Americans had someone like you to protect our interests. God Bless!

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

As an American, can someone please and help? We do not want this. I did not vote for this. Put half of my fellow countrymen.Are fueled by grievance and isolationism

The president of the US is causing war. Can someone please tell me why, other than to show a power trip. It affects the American people tax payers who are already struggling. You people who think this is ok, better tell your president to stop siding with Putin and look out for the well being of Americans. I am sick of it .

Can someone remind Canada what Trudea did to the truckers?

Hey Canada, get rid of corrupt and incompetent Trudeau. Replace him with someone honest and competent and watch what happens ???

Wait… I thought tariffs would hurt American consumers… that’s what all the liberal media outlets said. You mean, it affects the leader of another country too?? Why would JT be mad about American consumers paying more for Canadian products??? Someone must be lying?? could it be the liberals?

This is a speech, someone from my country should learn what courage means

Someone will lose and trust me it won't be the united states you are on the verge of bankruptcy already

Thats what happens when you vote for someone who only cares about his bottom line and not about his country

ASK YOURSELF WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO ISOLATE WHY. TO HARM OR DESTROY YOU. THINK ABOUT IT.

What a speech! How do we get someone intelligent like this in office instead of a blathering orange idiot? My heart goes out for Ukraine and all the countries caught up in this mess. For the first time, I can say with absolute certainty that I am embarrassed to be an American
