We don’t want this either. I never voted for him but will suffer along with his MAGA cult. MAGA will be shocked I think.

Prime Minister Trudeau is the REAL leader of the free world. Canada what is wrong with you? You forced this brilliant, compassionate, democratic leader to resign?! Fools. Learn from us and the idiots who voted the bankrupt compromised pathological lying felon into our White House.

I am an American and I did not vote for Trump! This is ridiculous! I apologize to Canada on behalf of us Americans who did not ask for this. We support you Canada.

I did not vote for Dump and I hate how his absurd decisions are representing our country

I'm an American who voted for Kamala Harris in Illinois. This nightmare is not my fault. ?

Yall voted for trump. Now deal with the bs

I am more proud everyday about my vote for Kamala

That's who AmeriKKKa voted for. The dumbocrats ran 2 inadequate females against tRump.

Love it. F**k you USA, may your future be as bad as the President you voted for.

As an American that saw the writing on the wall 7 years ago and left, I thank you Mr. Trudeau. You, and Canada are very much respected, and the world listens. Hopefully, decent Americans will overthrow the tyrant that 50% of them voted him in. To say I am ashamed of the USA as it stands is AWAY underwhelming. Much respect from Portugal, and long live Canada.

We don't want this, and many of us don't want Trump either. When will US citizens wake up? Impeach Trump! Trump is the human wrecking ball and I did not vote for this moron.

This is disgusting!!!!!! I'm so sorry that the American people voted for this madness

ill never forgive yall for voting for trump

Canada are lucky to have this president at this time. As for the American people, you voted Trump in and you are now paying the price.

I'm American and I voted for this, Trump made it very clear he was going to put tariffs on, now CNN is saying the sky is falling ridiculous

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

Yeah, I didn't vote for him, but Trudeau is right. These Tariffs aren't helping.

Trump is a child, not everybody should have the right to vote

Canada as a member of the Commonwealth countries has a KING long live KING CHARLES. america has a tiny orange albino known worldwide as the dumbest human alive congratulations america you voted for him now prepare to suffer america brougth this upon themselves.

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

This is the dude who just got voted out, right?

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Yeah but they voted for agent orange ? MoronsAreGoverningAmerikkaAgain

Unfortunately, Donald and his buddies are very much on another path - not Democracy!\nThe people of this country deserve so much better and so do our fellow North Americans, the Canadians. Dear People. Please know that in the hearts of most Americans, you remain our trusted allies and friends. And please accept, from the people, our heartfelt apology that we failed to get the word out in time and get the vote out sufficiently to keep both countries safe.

daily reminder that people actually voted for this

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Canada Strong!!! Alberta should shut off all crude oil to the US (66% of all Crude imported to the US,) and Quebec should shut off all Hydro (powering all or the US Northeast,) for 72 hours - that will change the mind of the Idiot Orange-man, his Cronies, and the moron's who voted for him!!!

That’s what happens when you voted for a ruthless person to run the country.

Sorry Canada, I didn’t vote for this idiot.

80% of America voted for this, no more taking advantage of hardworking Americans

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

I’m sure trump rigged the election because there’s no fucking way we voted for him. Wtf

It's what you get when you vote for a Russian asset. The enemy within

I did not vote for Trump. Nor did my family and friends. I am deeply ashamed to be an American right now. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am so sorry for all that is happening.

Americans understand, unfortunately Canada has no choice but to protect their citizens and their businesses. The fault lies squarely with dictator want-to-be Trump and his corrupt MAGA maggot republican politicians, and those who voted for them ???

I am disappointed. ? Trump, Musk, and Vance have put the US in a bad light. Trump is a wrecking ball of hate and ignorance. There is no working with him. Its his way or no way. There is no compromise. This is what MAGA did. This is what Elon did when he tempered with the voting machines in the swing states. The problem is you thought you were working with Trump and you both were friends. But the truth is he was not. He was working to set you up and stab you in the back.

Tough talk from a SISSY who was trading friendship brackets with TEENAGE LITTLE GIRLS, at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto, while Palestinian reprobates were rioting in Montreal. TRU-dough didn’t start real changes at the US/Cdn ( states borders ) until TRUMP trumped the drama school teacher ! So says a Canada who will vote TRUMP ! Seems that TDS has seriously infected the Castro Frog.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

Stop fear-mongering. American people voted for a change and this tariff is just the beginning.

America is the new baby russia. America is officially a communist-run nation. This is what americans voted for. So enjoy america, you deserve it so well ???????

We’re with you. Black people tried so hard. We tried to stop this from happening. Most of us voted against it. We need help!

Vote for Chrystia Freeland she is Canada only hope like Luke skywalker of Star Wars

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

As much as I disagree with most of Trudeau’s domestic politics I must say that this was a good address and seems to be where he is strongest. With that said though I still would not vote liberal in the next election.

Warning trump breaking up the USA for Putin , in six month you will be all in the gutter . GOOD BYE USA YOU VOTED FOR PUTIN GUY.

I support Justin Trudeau and the people of Canada. Not all Americans voted for our rapist president.

Please, all honorable leaders such as Trudeau, call out this absolute idiot, Trump! Who voted for this idiot?

No Mr. Trudeau you have it wrong , our government didn't choose to do this to us... We voted for our government .......

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.
