Justin, my family and I are dismayed my our neighbors here in the US that voted for the DONALD. Can we bring our talents & wealth to Canada?? We are college educated & ready to be a part of a society with stronger values than the new America.

Canada's nation of 40 million people has four industries America's 340 million citizens rely on: petroleum, timber, vehicles, and machinery. The U.S. can drill, cut, and build to suit its needs. This is how Trump will drive Trudeau from office. Welcome to the pain game, Justin. PP is going to love spitroasting you with the Donald.

Canadian here. Trudeau, well said and I hope the other global leaders stand up to Donald. To my American friends- it’s time you stand up and show your disapproval for the direction Donald is taking. This is and will be a significant set back in your security and the trust other countries have in America. Stand up, Speak up!

I'm glad you know so much about America and the American people. We support Donald Trump 100%

No bringing up of characters and groups like the Radical Left, Us and Them, Shifty Schiff, Crooked Hillary and no off topics and complaints about water pressure, toilettes and wind-mills. No self praising, no hating, no over the top BS promises! Donald Trump is just so stupid, and doesn't know what he is doing. If Donald Trump says that he knows what he is doing, then he needs to be impeached, because he's not doing anything good for America.

Donald sold America to Russia, highest bid he's already being paid

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

You Mr Trudeau love and care for the people of your country,Donald wants to destroy the poor and middle class in America.

Dear America, here you can see how a real Statesman argues! I love that speech of Trudeau. Alienating your friends that helped you secure your hegemony over the world for the past decades is very Donald Dumb.

Mr President of Canada common Donald Trump know exactly what he's doing ‼️ he works for Russia he's here to destroy the United States and make it part of Russia or an ally of russia! And if America doesn't stand up he's going to succeed ‼️?????????????

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

GOOD ? DAY ? MATE! This is What the United ?? State's, Canada ?? and The Rest of the Free ? World get When Two Of the Biggest Narcissistic Tryant's Get Voted ? into Poeer and Control. Instability and Danger to Our National Security for Our Country ?? Canada ?? and Rest of the Free ? World. Higher Price's For All! All of the Populous Who ? Voted For These Two Narcissistic Tryant's Dictator Trump and Elon Musk. I Hope Y'all Are Happy Now! I Applaud ? Y'all! Make America ?? Weak and Isolated From the Rest of the Free ? World. Dictator Donald Trump is Just Another One of Vladimir Putin's Puppet's!

Hats off to president Teasdale this is what a real president sounds like unlike the queen Donald Trump the first who's going to bring America to his knees ??

Let's make it make sense. Donald Trump is trying to hand America to Putin the best way he can. The country United States is ran by Soviet Union Russian agents!

I can't wrap my head around this exceptional showing of leadership that we, America, are lacking! Bravo Trudeau. Donald could learn a thing or two. ??❤️

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Canada not the only country is mad, angry, disgusted by Donald Trump when the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said you're a smart man this is a dumb thing to do , Check out his face he's saying to Donald Trump you're not a smart man and you're dumb man . Bravo Trudeau as an American well said I stand with you and a large number of people in America stand with Canada.................................................

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

And most Americans are just sleeping on it and believe it will make America great again. Donald Thump is trying to take USA as his own. He will rewrite the constitution to allow him to stay in power for many many years just like Putin and Xi Jipeng. He know well once he step down. He will be jailed due to his criminal cahrges. So he will stay in power for as long as he want now

i live in Canada and i do not agree with what Justin Trudeau is doing. We SHOULD back down from fighting! This is a war we cannot win.❤ Most people in Canada want Justin out of office. The government here is out of touch with reality, and out of control too.❤ i think Donald is doing a pretty good job. He is putting tariffs on imports because he wants people to buy items that are made in the United States of America. i think that is a good thing for Donald to do for the country of United States: putting America first.❤ The way i see it is that Canada is going to war with both Russia and the United States of America! Crazy.

Remember that both Canada and Mexico came to America’s aid during the LA fires. ? \nThey have always been our allies and this is how we’re treating them. Shame on you, Donald!

I apologize but until “Donald Duck” is removed my $10,000 will not go across the boarder p/year, I’m sorry to the innocent Americans but this is how it is. I would go to war for America but not till Donald Duck is gone…my heart goes out to all Americans suffering under this Authoritarian!!

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Donald is not a smart guy, and he has no desire to cooperate. He is a Russian agent. He is destroying North America.

America is better than this moron and he needs to go -- we are no friend of his. Putin is wonderful and strong and so is Donald Trump.

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

I’m ashamed of our president. Canada has done everything they were asked by an unreasonable Donald Trump. Trump is isolating America intentionally. I am ashamed to be n American.

False flags attack on America by the Donald. The Canadians are just collateral damage and Vance is just a side kick to the USA train wreck

What i dont underatand is how i read so many angry posts like these on every news networks yet, how the hell did Donald Trump get elected???!! Or do we have so many gullible people in America who believed his lies and are now regretting voting for him?!

All you so called americans sidingnwith Canada, where was that passion when Biden keep steeling your wealth and sending it abroad. At least Donald is fighting for America. We will be just fine and anoerfec time to produce ou own goods like we did before Clinton and Obama whonsold us out.

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

Amazing how many uneducated there are in America. That's why we have Donald J. (for Jester) tRump. Good going America!!!

Trump Disaster Donald. This your best dream for the darkest night of America and letting go of our friends for murderous Putin. Shame on your mother for giving birth to you and your daddy for not having the spine yo discipline you with a stick..how spoiled you are

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

Just get rid of Donald Trump god dammit! America! Get rid of him!!!

One should talk to no one poppet like the Donald but his master Putin. Putin is weaning the whole world by cutting the America’s links to friends. “Divide and conquer”

How to hit America the most?\nCoca Cola and Mac Donald’s

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

Donald J. Trump is the best President EVER! I love President Trump. Thanks God for Trump. As for Ukraine, that shouldn't even have been a priority for America. Ukraine should have nurtured better relations with all its neighbors, and especially with Russia, and not try to drag the world into a needless WW3. Btw, why is Trudeau still in offoce? His dad was a proud communist. Just like his dad, Trudeau has communistic tendencies.

Don't worry about us worry about your own people we trust our president Donald Trump America first

Chuck Zito, the former head of Hells Angels thinks his longtime friend, Donald Trump is greatest president America ever had. He attended Trump's court hearing. To stop drug trafficking, you have to investigate money laundering. I'm not sure how committed Donald is to this important aspect of the war against fentanyl.

The actions of Donald Trump are isolating and weakening America. Anyone who is being completely honest would not deny this. This ONLY benefits Russia. Is a compromised president going to inflict generational damage to America and its allies without challenge from within? As long as the president is acting on the best interests of Russia, America is no longer a partner, or a friend.

I am an American who is in disbelief. What a circus Donald has created, lower prices from DAY ONE. Man the 50% of you jokers that voted for the Orange Man, you liking making America Great Again?? Joke.

Wow Donald TRUMP is a horrible person. He somehow became President of the United States of America. I don’t blame people who believed his lies, but let us hope we can make it through his first year in office. Let us hope that our representatives, decide to stick up for democracy and not hang on Trumps coattails. I would hope they want to leave a legacy to better America and its people not drag us through the mud.

So proud of our PRIME MINISTER Trudeau. Thank you for calling him donald and telling it like it is! I have NEVER referred to donald as president and NEVER WILL. He is no president. He is not worthy of such a title, never will be. America belongs to the enemy now, allies no more.
