First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

Im so embarrassed to be and american. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. NOT ALL OF US VOTED FOR TRUMP. !!!! I thankfully live in CONNECTICUT but I'm really scared for democracy. I wish I could move to Canada

I wish I were a Canadian. But then, I have wished that for the last 40 years of my life. Too bad I could never make the point score necessary to emigrate. I am ashamed to live in the US. Trump has to go, by any means.

As a Canadian, I have voted him out every chance I had, always thinking their could not be a worse leader than him, than America says hold my beer. Now, I stand with my prime minister Justin Trudeau. I have cancelled our annual family trip to the states. I wish you all well, but I stand with my country

American who supports Canada. Wish I could live in your country. I am ashamed of my country.

American here, wish I could be proud of my president but he is disgraceful. Do what you need to make Trump go away.

I'll still buy your products! I wish we had a leader who could speak like an intelligent adult. Bravo, President Trudeau!

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

Sure wish the US republicans president could speak intelligently like Trudeau. Donald is selling out the US!

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

We wish we could Justin, we wish we could ?

American here. I wish we could have the same level of leadership as Canada.

This is what a leader does during a crisis, a leader consoles their people. I love Canada I wish I could move there?

TRUMP will eat this guys lunch ! Pootie poot is not are problem i wish some people could grasp that your problem is every demacrat selling we the people into slavery!!!

I wish i could move to Canada??? sorry neighnors..i am American and I am in shock..also sad.

Love coming here and setting y'all straight because as you can see y'all failed when you got the chance to prove Trump was the problem. Canada? Weak country, leader acts as if he can play hardball,watch markets right now, they wouldn't be so jittery if Trump ain't backing it up. 50% of Americans right now are soft as Charmin,we can't get rid of you but God I wish we could,y'all lost on why Trump is doing all he is doing....I mean to even have to explain to y'all, nahh man. Y'all got to go.

My family moved from Normandy, France to Canada and then to the U.S. I wish I could live in Canada instead of here, because you're a great leader ❤️

Screw Trump, Vance and all the idiots who voted for these two clowns. Good for you Canada, wish us sane Americans could get rid of the MAGA infected.

Both my sons were born in Canada! I lived in Windsor and Tecumseh, Ontario for 6 years. I love the Canadian people and my in laws even though divorced from their brother (who is deceased now). I wish I could move back! I am ashamed to live here right now!

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

American here. Elbows up! I wish I could boycott my own country.

Wow! I wish we could be one of your states (Provinces). Trump is a bum.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

This is an apology to Canadians and the rest of the world for the complete ignorance of Donald Trump. Wish I could explain how such a fool got voted into our highest office but I can't.

I love Canada. Wish there was something personally i could use to help. ❤❤❤ Trump is Dumb and self-centered.

As an American we are ashamed, absolutely ashamed of what Trump is doing. God have mercy! I wish so much things could be otherwise. Praying for us all. ?❤️ As an American we don’t want this!!!

Imagine once being the country that so many allies and neighbors sought refuge in—only to become this. Damn. I wish we had a leader who could articulate himself this well or actually cared about humanity. Those of you who voted for this will soon see and feel the consequences of your actions. The truth is, Trump isn’t smart— and unfortunately, neither are most Americans.

Mexico and Canada have to do what they have to do to protect their people and their countries. I wish I could say the same for our country!

Luv'n Trudeau.❤ We want your sanity and eloquence here brother. Wish you could be eligible to run for US Prez in '28. We reject our dumbass ??.??

There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

I know PM Justin Trudeau has had his critics but he is far more of a statesman than Trump or Vance could ever wish to be! Their actions are tantamount to treason and the great American citizens are being thrown under the bus.

I wish I could emigrate to Canada but I am stuck here in America with that damned fool Trump.

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

I stand behind Canada and Mexico. I wish people would think for themselves though. Believing every single thing Trump says is the stupidest thing anyone could ever do but MAGAs aren’t educated anyways.

What a great speech. Balanced, fair and well thought out. Wish we could have politicians of this calibre in the UK.

Gosh he makes so much sense wish he could be the president

Damn, I wish I could move to Canada

I wish I could have such an amazing PM in my country Japan where old spinless and dumb sleepy politicians who do nothing for people who are smart, reasonable, hardworking and ethical. Canadians are not aware of it yet, but you are so lucky to have JT. Look at the US, Japan, Russia, China, North Korea, Israel...etc...ugh.

I wish I could move to (sane and compassionate) Canada ❤

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

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

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

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 ✌️

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 ❤

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.

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.
