I probably have a bias because the Scottish part of my family came from the Isle of Mull to PEI. That said, \n\nI'm super happy that groups of us have places in Canada and we intend to spend as much time up in the Great White North as possible and spend all of our US dollars there.\n\nA Mari Usque Ad Mare

Trump is not fit for the office of President. Its not only that he's a buffoon, its that he's willing to destroy his own country. He's repeatedly proven that he does not care about his own people and is happy to see them suffer if it will increase his wealth.\nThe USA went through decades of the Red-Scare only to have Trump cosy up to the worst Russian Communist Leader since Stalin. I'm glad the rest of the world is reassessing their relationships with the USA and people are voluntarily boycotting the USA.

I’m no Trudeau fan, but lowkey I’m happy he’s getting the opportunity to show us some spine & hopefully leave on a higher note (for himself at least!)

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

I'm Canadian. And in my 50s. We've always tended to joke back and forth about stereotypes from our countries. I've always felt we looked up to American ideals ideas and this is why we felt strong to stand with America with many things. I've sometimes not been happy with our Prime Minister but he left a mark, and I'm proud our country is more united but I'm sad at what cost. I hope this is short lived.. I don't like fighting with family

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

I’m extremely happy to be Canadian and to have Justin Trudeau as our prime minister. God bless you sir. God bless the American people.

I'm from colorado usa and am so happy to see countries fight back against trump - take him down pls.

I'm American and I am so happy Prime Minister Trudeau did not cave to the convicted felon, Donald Trump. Bravo!!!

Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

Canadians! As an European I'm happy that -despite everything happening atm- we find ways to increase cooperation, cherish virtues like democractic ruling, honesty, empathy. Let's strengthen our bound and leave the (this) USA to Putin and China.

As an American, I’m happy Canada didn’t just back down

What I don't like is the millionaires that move our jobs out of our country to benefit themselves. My father lost a good manufacturing job because labor was cheaper in some other county. Now look at Boeing. Somehow we need someone that is looking out for US! Trying to bring jobs and industry back to the USA. Trudeau is a terrible leader and I'm happy to see him squirm.

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

WOW! Trudeau finally grew some balls this year, I'm honestly really happy. I love to see how unified my country is against Uncle Scam and all his American hatchlings!!!

Hey: I think you’ve seen me comment a lot here because I have my opinions and I really appreciate your blog.(is that what it’s called?). Anyway, I’m gonna tell you about my cancer story.\nTwo years ago at the age of about 53-54, I realize that I hadn’t had a mammogram in a long time because I’ve moved cities so I was on the list but in another city. So I decided I need to go get a mammogram. I contacted my GP and he gave me a referral within a couple of weeks. I had my mammogram. They didn’t like it within a week. They did it again. They didn’t like it. They decided to do an ultrasound. And still, they found areas that they were not happy with. So within another week, they did two biopsies. And they came back as cancer cells that had not gotten together yet to create a tumor. So it’s called stage zero cancer. Within two weeks I was in surgery where they took out everything they needed to and I was told that I have good margins. I then had six weeks of radiation. Five days a week for six weeks.\n\nSo about nine months after that and that healing, I had a referral to a plastic surgeon. She reduced my other breast so that I was even. That was about eight months ago. And this week I had a further reduction, call it a fine-tuning, to further ensure that I was even.\n\nThis was all done in Montreal Quebec Canada. \nI paid zero dollars, except a few times I may have paid six bucks for parking. \n\nI am cancer free. I’ve gone from a double D to a B, which you know is better than dying. I am so happy that I live here.

I'm an Australian traveller who went on a solo trip around the US in 2023. I couldn't afford a hotel room in New York so I opted for a Hostel. The hostel I stayed at had many Latinos and upon speaking to them, they were living there for free in exchange for cleaning, reception work, etc. It shocked me that businesses were happy about this exchange of paying wages to actual Americans

We Canadians are fed up with Trudeau's immigrant invasion dropping east Indian and muslim immigrants in every city, town, village and junction in Canada. There are MILLIONS of them here and we hear talk that some of them are just stopping here before going to the US. Personally, I'm happy at what Trump did. Very happy!

I'm happy af my hispanic sisters from another mother (brother from another mother) gain their citizenship[ in 2021 or 2022 avoiding this nonsense.\nTwo of the most hard working women I know as well great mothers.

I'm happy with FREE speak,

Im Canadian and while the tariffs are gonna suck, I completely understand why Trump is doing it. Our government is an absolute clown show and what's worse is now the politicians and corporate media here have spun this whole thing as Trumps fault and alot of Canadians are falling for it buying into this whole US vs Canada BS. Like this all coulda been avoided if our politicians would've actually fixed the border YEARS ago, instead of legalizing heroin, making a gender neutral national anthem and making it illegal to misgender someone. \n \nHonestly I'm so embarrassed to be Canadian these days that being the 51st state is pretty appealing. I support gun rights, low taxes, deporting illegals, love proper BBQ and work for a paycheck. So if anyone in a red state is hiring, I'm happy to relocate..

I'm sure the bear population on the northern border will be more than happy to do their share to assisst border patrol.

Please stay away from Canada I moved here and I regret it every day. I'm a citizen through my parents and getting my certificate took YEARS which stopped me from being able to go to school or work which means years of my adult life wasted that could have been put to much better use for something that wasn't even my fault. I also lost good opportunities too because of it!!!! Not happy especially since I genuinely needed the money. I won't forgive Canada for that. Also everything here is really expensive and the selection is just not very good. Also work opportunities are not as good as in the US. Anyways I finally got my certificate and got my life started up again just over 2 years ago, but I still often think of returning to the US after just being here for 4.5 years. I now warn some of my US friends not to go to Canada just for the hype if they mention it. I also know of a friend who moved here and left after 1 year, they came to hate it here.

I’m just happy they been off the blacks lately

As an Indian , i m happy with what he is doing ?????...\nNo to illegal immigrants

I'm not so hard that I'm happy but they was told and voted for trump if not them then their family members

I’m so happy he’s getting deported and he needs to get out of here immediately

My family immigrated from Mexico to America in 2019 LEGALLY to get away from Mexico since it was a dangerous place to raise a family we have no fear of being deported since we are 100 percent legal \nI'm happy that they are deporting we left Mexico to get away from the violence 1 year later all these bad people are coming back into the country

If you stroll into my house uninvited, there's a good chance I'm not going to be happy about it

Remember when Trump first said he was going to build the wall? I'm not American and I don't live in America. But from what I can see from the comments, you're kind of happy about that wall?

Good serves you right. Took someone else's country in the first place now let others take it with you. Complainants should only be natives of that land not homeless druggies on the street. I'm happy.

I'm happy

I'm so Happy and Proud that you americans dont tollerate any of this shit.\nDon't let them ruin your country like they ruining mine

This president will bring the U.S. to bankruptcy, like Trump did within everything he touched. As a Canadian, I’m happy to be rid of a petulant neighbour that thinks he’s exceptional.

I'm happy for the UK to be ruled by Trump. Please save us.

I’m so happy ! So many people work these jobs and aren’t citizens making it hard for us to get a job.

I’m black American and I’m extremely happy for this

I voted for this and I'm very happy with how ICE is handling business

I’m happy Trump is bringing back common sense to this country. Why are we even talking about this?

I'm just so happy china as cut off there power purchase import from the US so the Americans gonna feel the heat just watch and see

And imagine, if Biden was still president or if Harris could have won, as president, these immigrants would still be flooding into the USA at the same rate. I'm very happy Trump #47 was re-elected.

lol ? The comments seem to think we’re not enjoying this. Yes this is what we voted for, this is what we wanted! I’m happy!

I’m happy you left ???

I’m happy these tenants are finally being called out. But the landlord and tenant board needs to get their stuff together or we need to pull the plug on it.

I’m Canadian and the US is amazing depending on where you live … The complainers are typical Liberals who are never happy about anything …. and Canadians are taxed to death so enjoy …. they’ll be back

I'm happy to hear that. Keep these hungry indians in india

Not a fan of Donny in the slightest but if he can pressure our government into doing the bare minimum when it comes to immigration then I'm happy for the silver lining

I’ve held my tongue on this long enough, but the writing’s on the wall — Canada is cooked.\n\nOur finance minister calls it a “vibecession”, as if we’re imagining the economy sputtering. But here’s the reality: GDP growth at 0.1%, per capita GDP down 0.5%, and youth unemployment at 13.5%.\n\nThere’s the recent bait-and-switch $250 stimulus cheque — an ill-disguised vote buying grift. It was scrapped when the government realized it would add $4.6 billion to an already projected $60 billion deficit. \n\nThrow in a two-month sales tax holiday announced without thinking about the logistics, leaving businesses scrambling. Some aren’t even participating because it’s not worth the headache.\n\nHousing starts are at a 10-year low, the housing accelerator fund has delivered zero new homes, housing prices have left wage growth in the dust, and immigration has blown past what our infrastructure can handle. \n\nMeanwhile, the CBSA isn’t bothering to track expired international student visas. After all, someone has to keep the for-profit diploma mills thriving and the service industry fully staffed.\n\nCanada Post is falling apart under strikes, crippling small businesses, and 47% of job growth in the last five years has come from the public sector while our capital markets and innovation stagnate. \n\nThe $CAD is currently plummeting against the $USD, as the Bank of Canada scrambles to firefight the government’s incompetence with two jumbo 0.5% interest rate cuts.\n\nAnd let’s not ignore the trade war brewing with our historical ally, the U.S.. Trump has made it clear he’ll punish our abysmal border policies, which have allowed fentanyl to flood into America unchecked, with a 25% tariff on Canadian exports.\n\nIf you’re trying to get ahead — building jobs, working for yourself, pooling capital to invest, why bother?— the proposed 66% capital gains inclusion rate over $250,000 punishes you for taking risks and succeeding.\n\nAsk yourself: are you happy with the state of Canada right now? Honestly. Because it doesn’t feel like the same country I grew up in, went to school in, worked in, served in, and built a business in.\n\nI’m done. For once in my life, I don’t want to be Canadian anymore.

I'm glad that some of the Rude Indians are going to be Sent back to their country. Canada was a Country that immigrants and Refugees came to get a start for a better life.Not this culture. All of the millions that came over here illegally need to leave.My parents are immigrants so I was happy that some people of my background be living and learning a New way of life.But I'm not glad anymore.
