Nice job MAGA…you wanted change, but is this the change you were expecting?

That was Justin Trudeau on steroids. What a dramatic change! I don´t know if it is possible according to Canadian law, but if so, you should re-elect this guy. Congrats from Mexico!

Trudeaus campaign was funded by canadian fentanyl cartels. He is a criminal.\nThis loser is taxing Canadians for PHONY climate change another 25% on April 1st. \nTrudeau is a scumbag globalist world economic POS\nTrudeau has EMBEZZLED more than he spent on the border

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

As a European I must agree with Wesley Clark. Things have changed a lot since he took office. Most people here sees the US more as an enemy than an allied now! Let that sink in MAGA people if you can... He has made everything upside down. Supporting Russia WTF? We knew he was insane, but this is getting way out of hand! \nThis is not going to make america great again (what utter BS). Instead every history book in the future will talk about the time when the US went mad and lost its way, losing all credibility and trust it ever gained.

Trump is willing to risk the well-being of the entire world as long as he gets money and power.\nIf Putin is arrested everything changes including trumps direction.

People in the comments keep praising this guy..... sure he gave a nice professional speech. But, it doesn't change the fact that he's a joker and a complete douchebag to his country and to others especially India

I thought he resigned. Did he change his mind?

All these comments….”Oh we stand with you Canada”. We don’t want you stand with us, fix your fucking problem America and stand up to your supposed representative Trump.\nHe is going to screw you too, wait and see.\nWhat has he done for America so far?\nO yeah, rename the Gulf of Mexico, that’s changed peoples lives for the better.\nWhat a joke.

I live in US but I support Canadian on this. Even Trump is looking for changes, it shouldn't have been done in this rude and abrupt way.

They did drake wrong. I knew they were coming for entire country. Trump has 21 days to change his mind about the war .

We're seeing many cases of Canadai's foreign born national truck drivers bringing trailers full of these drugs into US. They need to enact tougher enforcement and change some things.

Guys, are you still in doubts and pretending to now see the country going down! You need to call your lawmakers now to change sides and have some immediate checks and balances on this government. Or else most of your wealth will be GONE while the Billionaires are getting richer. Stop the partisan politics now and defend your interests, America!

Maybe when Canada gets a new Prime Minister that doesn't take advantage of the U.S.A maybe things will change.

CNN hasn't changed a bit. What a joke

If I see a Trump supporter on TV, expect that everything he says is praising Trump?!! Just cover your ears or change the TV channel

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.

When I was just starting my career, I was threatened to be fired and I cried. I said I would change and do what ever I could do to keep my job. The boss laughed and said oh now you fuckin care? \nTrudeau is suddenly crying for doing what he should have done so fuckin long ago. Retaliation sucks, should have been better earlier.

Change your laws to align with American interests or pay for us to do it for you.

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

Well Drugs has always been drugs, the war against them will never end ??‍♀️, but being aware and making plans to see it makes the difference. We can only change the things we can, I am TOO ELATED ON HOW Prime Minister is holding his own. Keep swinging boo! ❤???

I do not believe you can change the publics opinion of zelenskyy that he invaded the Ukraine and started the war with Russia.

I don't think continuing to do what hasn't worked in the past is going to fix the future... It's time for change.\n \nThe US has been paying the world for too long, and now it's time for others to pay their share. I don't blame them for being upset, but I don't believe Trudeau's perspective is all inclusive of reality.\n\nAmerica should come first to Americans.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

Terriffs are nothing new though. I think it's insane that America's have to consistently payout our tax dollars to other countries. The President is wanting these other countries to step up to the plate and do their part. It's okay for them to let cartels and fentanal come into our countries and kill Americans by the masses. I'm sorry I'm American born and will put America 1st. Stand 10 toes down and not be a dang traitor. Americans are so quick to change sides when shit get a little rough. But haven't spoke up and said shit for years. Now we have someone shaking things up and we tuck tail and support a whole other country. Pathetic

Well, that won't fly when pres Donald Musk send in troops to invade Canada... they'll change their tune once our invasion of Greenland is complete.

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

Trump wasn't elected. The tabulating machines for early voting were hacked to change votes to Trump after a certain number was reached for Kamala. See Las Vegas NV data. Same in other swing states. We have been cheated.

This man is a bigger threat to Canada than anyone. Also, we don't care about your tariffs. You had a chance to change your unfair tariffs and be more reasonable, and you blew it. That's all you had to do. But instead, you cry and whine.

His only mistake was not to talk to his Canadian in the same way about the external diplomatic journey. Most Canadians voted him out because most Canadians have little to no idea how it is arround the globe, missing an overall perspective in their critic to Trudeau. Let me tell you that a lot of people changed their minds looking at his reaction to external threath posed by newly elect Trump. I allways knew Trump was bad news but never did I see a country turn it's administrative logistic into a pure representation of the cult Donald made into place. I hope my fellow friendly american get loud enought to be herd from their respective administrative leaders in your political system. Be critical, this is not what the USA is sopposed to be about.

What a baffoon. I guess Trudeau will move to the U.S. and become a Democrat after his term. It's not just about drugs. It's about forcing a global reboot. It's only a small percentage that thinks everything is going bad. Most use their brain and look for long term change that is needed. The world has been laughing at us for more than the last 4 years too.

I'm for tarrifs and changing tax system.

US policy is enabling Trump. Until these policies change permanently, do not, never trust Trump / Americans again.

As an American I support you Canada, Captain Chaos is a Putin loving narcissist that probably cheated to win election, and did not win popular vote, only electral vote at best. Only 1/2 Americans voted and less than 1/2 of them voted for the felon. He is working on changing America to a dictator led government. I pray Americans will be able to unite and stop this stupidity!

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.

I wish this man was the American president. My American government is scaring me and our lives are falling apart. I stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world. I hope this changes soon..

The older Son was Ishmael not Isaac this fact was changed by evil man. To turn it around to his advantage.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Up to now, I strongly despised Trudeau. He was weak, dumb, inconsistent, insignificant. \nNow, my opinion has changed. \nWhat he says is far from crap. \nT is a criminal, at the service of China, Russia to disrupt the North American economy every which way he can, whilst hiding in the shadow of a sheer head on military conflict that would leave both sides in the midst of nuclear fallout for centuries. \nThe enemy within. \nThe scour of unabashed destruction. \nThe new age of mind slavery in a T.

Americans need to understand: this is an *existential* threat to Canada. We cannot forget this, even if the tariffs go away tomorrow. We now *have* to diversify away from the US to the extent possible. This is a permanent change.

A speech you can actually understand that is coherent is a nice change! I love how media makes out like Canada is escalating things...it started with Trump, just like Putin invaded Ukraine!

You can't fix whats not broken!!! FDT is demanding major changes where it's not realistic. Perhaps he believes his own lies. There were more illegal immigrants being removed under Biden, crime was down, the economy was going up parabolicaly. Reminds me of thugs breaking your shop windows and asking you to pay for protection.

I stand with Canada! Our votes truly don’t matter at this point. Can’t believe how our history has changed for the worst now!

Bull! 1% of containers are inspected ! Now, after 9yrs, he wants to make positive changes? He will always be a cockroach!

The map of allegiance is changing very fast

Donald and Musk don't give a shit about Americans, let alone about Canada. The CIA should stage a coup in the US itself for a change, and it would be their only justified coup.

Donald clearly is ahead of the rest of us in the fight against climate change, understanding as he does that a painful recession will lead to a deep reduction in the production of greenhouse gases as people cut back on their spending. If only we could see it as clearly as he does. Surely he will make his intentions clear by undertaking a farsighted austerity program, limiting his flights to Mar A Lago for golf outings.

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.
