I came to the comments expecting to see liberals crying and I was not let down ?

Well, I was feeling really great about all the support from around the world, including the kind words of many Americans (thank you), but then I watched this same speech on the Fox youtube channel and the comments are exactly the opposite. Hating the speech and Trudeau. Funny how people can watch the same thing and see two different versions.

Papa, why can't we eat McDonald's every night no more?\nWell billybob, most of your big mac ingredients comes from Mexico, so the price went up 25%.\nCan we still get lunch from KFC Papa?\nNo billybob, most of the chicken comes from Mexico too...\nWhy is this happening Papa?\nI don't know billybob, just be happy our Tennessee whiskey is suddenly reaaly cheap and they are giving it away...see, Pastor Donnie is Making America Drunker Again...\n\nSatirical comments from Australia.

No one is asking, what are the tariffs for... I obviously you see all of these people in the comments just walking and basing their judgment off of what they are seeing off of CNN etc. do your own research people, this man is bananas... I would assume most people in Canada are not very happy with this man crippling their country

can see that cnn is really deleting comments as fast as they come in. so obvious what these communist news outlets do.\n\nthe sheep could never notice these nuances, let alone change their minds.

As a Canadian, it's really nice to see all the comments in support of Canada. Canadians love Americans too. Best of luck to both countries.

I thought i would see American giving negative comments but all i see is positive

All of these comments praising Trudeau have the memory of a goldfish. This guy praises Chinas communist leadership and also spoke highly of Fidel Castro. Let’s not forget the pandemic. Of course the tariffs might hurt in the short term but you fools can’t see the long game. Bring back more jobs to America and import less. Tariffs will allow for tax cuts.

Lmao , every Trump supporter in these comments is so delusional and unaware that they don’t see they are all making the same\nold regurgitated idiotic comment. “ why don’t you move to Canada “. Oh man it is so very damn clear why Trump got in because I have yet to see any MAGA supporter step up with a facts based intelligent response. It’s ???‍♂️

A opinion is fine but I see many many AI BOTS in the comments so just quit.

I'll read the comments in 30 days and see where we're at.

Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

Lots of idiots making comments in here I see. No knowledge just stupid lefties making stupid comments. This guy destroyed Canada. Worst Prime minister ever! He is the problem

I see women with tears and I fully blame Kamala Harris for the comments she made inviting people which gave them hope to start their journey. Poorly thought out by KHarris.

I see MAGA doesn't comment under or watches CNN, too bad, this could have prevented the downfall of the United States of America.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

CNN comment section glazing the worst leader we have ever had, not a surprise. Maybe if CBC sees this comment section they will turn their comments back on.

I see comments from many. How are Republican right playing this. Do they actually think Elon and Trump are making America great. Learn to speak Russian and Chinese. Trumps legacy after he strokes out will be with us even after the jokes, the commentary and documentaries have lost interest.\nYou have an enemy within.

My indigenous American background has tought me better than this and we stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe. It's shameful what is happening here in the US and I just want everyone to know that there's many of us that do not agree with what's going on. We don't stand with Russia or any dictatorship. Now let's see how many hate comments I get and from what side, it'll be crystal clear who's who. Ukraine we also stand with you ??

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

As a Brit it really sad to read the comments and see Canadians and Americans falling out. Probably our turn next

I’m telling you this it’s gonna hurt you more than us and see us “hurt” wym by those comments?

The ignorance of some narrow-minded pro-Trump individuals commenting here prevents them from seeing the economic tragedy that the people of the United States are about to suffer. This has nothing to do with popularity approval but rather with the devastating financial consequences that these tariffs will bring to American families who do not belong to the oligarchy.

I don’t see anything from the bootlickers in the comments.

Canada, Germany is proud of you❤ \nand I´m proud of the amazing comments from the lovely Americans, who see the truth of the face of Trump. He is the wolf in sheeps cloth

Who is this guy anyhow wasn't he supposed to step down dont be a moron and comment that he's a good leader look in the mirror you may see a turd.

seeing no Trumpsters commenting on this video speaks for itself…cowards!!!

I'm see, all comments from democratic dummies. Trudeau is the same shit as Biden

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

I have no idea if Prime Minister Trudeau reads any of these comments or if his team does, but as an American, I am ashamed of our current government. We have a narcissist for a leader who is a bad businessman and a puppet of Putin. How refreshing to see a real LEADER who actually cares about his country and not himself. I support Canada wholeheartedly. I suspect many Americans will be hurt badly by these embargoes and (justified) retaliatory tariffs - but so be it.

As a Canadian, I'm so happy to see all the positive comments about us. Thank you, everyone.

PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY THAT PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THEN BE QUIET IN THE COMMENT SECTIONS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE REAL INFORMATION THAT CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES. ALL YOUR DOING IS SPAMMING USELESS WORDS THAT KEEPS THE SUBLIMINAL MIND CONTROL CORRUPTING YOUR LIVES. STAY SILENT AND ABSORB SOME WISDOM. 3 COMMENTS BELOW FOR WISDOM. YOU HAVE TO DIG AND SCROLL DOWN TO GET THE INFO YOU NEED FROM THE SPAMMING NONSENSE.

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

STOP LIVING IN OPPRESSION AND SLAVERY DEPENDENCY WITH TRADE. SELF RELIANCE AND INDEPENDENCE IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE DOING. SHUT DOWN TH TRADE AND END OPPRESSION WITH COST AND VALUE. THAT IS THE RESPONSE OTHER COUNTRIES SHOULD BE MAKING. THE US GOVERNMENT FORCES ANNUAL INFLATION TO OPPRESS THE PEOPLE WITH SLAVERY, COST, TAXES AND DEPENDENCY FOR ALL THEIR NEEDS. ITS SUBLIMINAL MIND CONTROL. WISDOM COMMENT #3 IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS, INVEST IN MARKETS AND LIVE IN DEPENDENCY FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS FROM GLOBAL TRADE, SUPPLY CHAINS, ENERGY GRIDS OR JUST THE BASIC FOOD SUPPLIES YOU ARE OPPRESSING OTHERS WITH COST AND VALUE THAT DOESN'T EXIST. YOU ALL ARE REGULATED AND SUBLIMINALLY CONTROLLED SLAVES IN OPPRESSION UNTIL YOU REALIZE THIS. YOUR NOT HELPING PEOPLE BY CREATING COST ON OTHERS AND INFLATING COST TO MANAGE YOUR OPPRESSION WITH LIFE. HUMANITY NEEDS TO STOP BEING SELFISH AND USE COMMON SENSE. ADDICTION IS EVERYTHING YOU DO EVERYDAY. HUMANITY BREAKS UNDER PRESSURE FROM LIFE AND SOCIAL LIVING WITH OTHERS. WHY ARE YOU ALL TRYING SO HARD WHEN ITS SO EASY TO LIVE. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE FALSE REALITY YOU LIVE IN AND YOUR PERCEPTION FINALLY SNAPS YOU OUT OF THE OPPRESSED SUBLIMINAL PROGRAMMING YOUR MIND WILL BE FREE AND YOU WILL FINALLY AWAKEN TO REALITY. FOCUS AND SEE THE TRUTH.

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

AMERICAN here. I see every comment here that disrespects the United States of America. The threats made by the Canadian government. To EVER use the word WAR in ANYTHING involving the US, especially with threats, is EXACTLY why this needs to happen. You forget yourselves. Especially YOU Prime Minister Trudeau, referring to the POTUS by Donald? ?? YOU do not address America except through our state department. And you better pray it's not via the Department Of Defense.

I can see from the comments this is where all the woke delusional lefties hang out..?

Came here just to see all the CNN biased comments lol

WELL WE SEND BILLIONS TO CANADA,THEY'VE ALLOWED ALL ILLEAGLES TO TO BRING DRUGS AND CRIMINALS TOO ARE 'GREAT COUNTRY' AND YOU ALL DONT GIVE A SHIT,SO NOW I SEE THE COMMENTS YOU ALL ARE SENDING,YOU'RE WRONG,AND YOU LIE AND TELL ONLY 20% OF THIS NEWS,SICKENING TO SEE THIS!!!!?

A bunch of fools that don’t see the big picture in these comments….either that or just a bunch of far left fear mongers. Wake up people, the liberals are not your friends, they want to get rich and keep you dependent upon them for your wants and needs.

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

Glad to see the positive comments from Americans, we don't want to be at odds with our friends. I've been to the states a few times and it is so sad what Trump has done to your country and your people. I hope those who have joined the maga cult can wake up and come home to the goodness of what America used to stand for.

Same guy that resigned ???? thing is Canada doesn’t bring much to the US. That’s why there are so many of you here in America. Seeing so many commies in the comments crying that there reign of terror and corruption is over and I’m glad to see it. Make America great!!!!!!! ??

These comments are from people who BELIEVE CNN.., and it’s HILARIOUS to see the STUPIDITY of people who follow CNN

I have read many comments expressing support for Canada and assurances that the writers didn't vote for this administration. Until now, something like this could only be seen in totalitarian countries, it was the Russians, Belarusians who explained that they did not support Putin or Lukashenka, that they didn't want to be associated with the actions of their authorities. Now i see the times when Americans are ashamed of their administration in front of their allies.

As a proud Canadian, it's incredibly moving to see all of these fantastic comments. Sincere thanks for the kind words everyone, they provide some welcomed reassurance to Canadians today. We really do love our friends in America, and we always have.

I see alot of 2 face americans here making comments supporting canada. You people voted for that convicted criminal and now you want to act innocent. Americans are complicit in this act of war.

All I see in the comments is HATE. I don't need to be here anymore.??

Should put dates on their lies... First comments are from a year ago...\n How long till they get a billion dollar law suit so we can see them go bankrupt...
