As an American, I am very sad to see our neighbors and friends pull away from us. All of these decades of working together to achieve the greater good for the world; destroyed by one man's selfishness, greed, and delusion. Don't get me wrong, he's supported by people that worship him and are pushed on by their own delusions of grandeur and selfishness. They can't see the immovable, solid wall they are hurdling towards. I hope in the future, our past friends and allies are willing to take us back once these fools get kicked out.

I hope that I don't get kicked off of YouTube, but Goddamn, the orange narcissistic buffoon is so [[stupid]]

Trudeau it doesn't make sense. I have an MBA in accounting. I will get results on my cpa test for Far and Ifrs. There are a few of us getting ready to leave and never return. This country US.is getting worse. We hope to leave soon.

We don't want it either sir, and we are truly sorry. I have hope we will get rid of the orange menace soon!!!

I Live in Michigan, and I Never Voted for this Monster ?, Trump....\n I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz....\n I Do Not Endorse Trump's Crazy Tariffs....\n On Behalf of ALL Americans, Who Never Endorsed, These Three stooges, that are Destroying my Country....\n I can Only Hope We can Get Through, This, and I dont Blame Canada, or Mexico, for the Backlash Against Us.....\n I support you're Position.....\nNever in my 62 Year's of being Alive, have I ever witnessed such raw pure Evil, as Trump, JD VANCE, Elon Musk.....\n I apologize in advance, and ask for you're Prayer ? that this Oppressiveness, will STOP ? Soon.....?

We are discusted about this and we know you will have to do all you have to do. I have always thought Canada and their residents are truly decent and reasonable people ane we don't blame you for anything. We know that the courts are getting involved and hope we can get Trump out of office. \nI personally wish you the best.

I get it Trudeau! Our leader is a stupid f***ing traitor! I hope you're country can forgive the U.S. once he leaves office. If he will ever leave...

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

Why did Canadians dislike this guy so much before all this? Because some Russian trolls on social media disguised as Canadians told them to? That's how we got Trump! It seems like they learned from our mistake. I hope they did. Look, all over the world, things are tough, post pandemic. It's not just your country. You can be patient as left leaning leaders use data and expertise to get things running again...OR you can elect these far right NUTCASES, AND MAKE A MESS THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE! DON'T TRUST THE FAR RIGHT! YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. THEY WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEMSELVES ONLY, AND WILL TELL YOU WHATEVER LIE YOU NEED TO HEAR TO GET INTO OFFICE.

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!

WWCDD? I just hope we all remember the hard times we have had to go through together, the exploitation of white males going blackface will never be overlooked. Justin we stand with you (as an American), I am willing to overlook your blackface picture. Yes, you have made some horrible decisions but that doesn't mean we are not with you! We will get through this together!!!!!

And just for the record, I was hoping to get a few hours of paid work at the liquor store and now this just might be a game changer you know? So hard to get a job in this country… I suppose it depends on what kind of species of canine you are… Last time I was a bulldog I got flipped after six months of work. Sucks balls.

Did they MAGA? No, so let's move forward from this, America! We ALL need to agree to be American 1st. Our safety is at serious risk, but we can still get the train back on track, if Congress can ALL agree to put America before any other internal disagreement. If The SCOTUS and the Judicial System will do the same. It isn't too late, YET. It's time to right the ship and our allies will support us, if our people will stand up, against the harm that this Administration is doing to ALL of us, as a whole. It's leaking hate into every aspect of our country. We're inundated with it and it's spilling out, into the world, affecting our standing.\n\nWe need an Administration where we can have normal disagreements and figure how to resolve them....find HOPE again. I'm tired of feeling despair. America, be the leader of Democracy. Keep your word!\n?⚪?

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Canadian Government is ripping off there tax payers and Laundering money just like the Biden administration.. You guys need a guy like Trump to come in and drain the swamp just like here in the US. The corruption is deep... Trump can be rude and unhinged, sometimes but he gets shit done. Hope you Canadians get a Prime Minster that will cut fraud and taxes for you. That's where your real threat is.

The us relationship isn’t just deteriorated between them and Canada \nIt is the same for any other country in the world just now \nThe US doesn’t have a genuine friend now anywhere other than Russia and North Korea \n\nFrankly, I hope Trump continues his stupidity and it kills the US because the only way to demonstrate to the immense dumb electorate that supports Trump is for his own idiocy to hurt them. We don’t have time to try to educate them now. These people are an equal mix of ignorance, racism and entitlement. \n\nI’m in france and I’ll be honest, if I see or hear a US national (and we can figure out who is Canadian and not) then they will get no help from anyone here. \n\nThe US i grew up admiring as a kid in the U.K., the us I subsequently worked and lived in, the us people I worked with globally … all gone\nAnd frankly, it is the fault of the American electorate

How I wish we had a sane decent leader. Who knows, maybe we'll have a military coup at this point. Thank you Canada for being sane and rational, hopefully we will recover and get a Biden type who cares about all citizens and our place in the world again...

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.

I'm fine with Canada and the UK going bankrupt if they bring it on themselves. I hope Europe can shake off the EU parasites controlling it before they are destroyed. I hope Russia takes back Russian speaking territories and provide the people with aged pensions, social programs and infrastructure and for the western parts to be absorbed into its neighbors where they can also receive assistance to get back on their feet. Finally, we should stop engineering color revolutions and capturing vassals to be used as a proxy in planned conflicts and placing military bases on borders where they are not welcome.

Well said, Mr. Prime Minister. Go Canada--hopefully see you on the other side of this, when we get rid of this clown show. Pardon our dust...some of our slower citizens have to learn things the hard way.

GREAT SPEACH sir...I hope the DONALD listens and gets a brain!

From Belgium; Now this is a leader worth respecting. \nI hope Donald gets put in his place, whether he stops making enemies out of friends all around the world, instead of doubling down making this worse for everyone. \nOr gets stopped by the american people that stand up against him, united with allies their population worldwide, to hold higher morals then the absolute lack thereof asserted by the current Trump administration.

spiritual war its gonna get messy folks hope ya all ready.

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

Pretty much alk of the world is realizing how dumb this is, and how dumb Trump really is... I only hope that the american ppl react quickly enough to get rid of the Trump administration asap...These tariffs are good for no one, but will hurt everyone.

Hopefully, we can get peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This Old-Senile-Demented-47-criminal wants to start World War 3. Oh yes 47 is a jerk idiot, that’s why I’m supporting Canada. ???.Trudea wants to save life,but this American Con-artist wants to destroy life to keep his money ( read what the holy scripture said about the love of money ) money and power. I hope you Americans are happy. If you want soldiers to go and kill other mother’s children for this despicable criminal, not my friends, families or fellow Christian. If y’all want slaves , you voted for this criminal, so you go slave for him (47). I’m already mourning for those innocent who will get killed. Read : 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 26:14,15. Like I said, you Trash-republicans and maga morons created this con artist, you take care of this mess. As for me I support Canada and all those other countries that this American Con Artist tried to Bully At?????

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

Well, Mr. Prime Minister, if Donald Trump can’t get this bullshit and criminal activity straightened out here in US we’re all coming to live with you so let’s hope he does .hang in there Canada

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

I hope my fellow Americans stop blindly following trump and get all these current idiots out of our government \nWish I could leave and come back when trump is gone

Who didn't see this gonna happen before November 4th, 2024? 77 million vote for this, knowing this was gonna happen. Whatever happened, I hope the 77 million enjoy the ride. You think things were bad before watch what the next 4 years gonna get you. Buck Up America ?? Let go for the ride

U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

I’m European and what Trump is doing is really going to hurt USA the most. \nCause he is putting tariffs on so many. The pain for the countries that get tariffs put on them gets spread out, but for USA it gets to take the blows from all of them who retaliate back. It’s mentality insanity.\nAmericans will struggle the most from this.\nI hope you guys wake up and understand what is going on. \nDon’t believe the lies you hear from Trump. We don’t pay your tariffs, you do!\nInflation will also run amok because of this.

To my fellow Americans, if you voted for Donald Trump i hope you do not get a single second of financial peace until he is out of office

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

Trudeau \nwill you help stop ilegal traffic in to the US? may be too late...\nThe US will start manufacturing \nimprove agriculture and hopefully enforce the law, jus get with the program, no woke folks welcome....

This idiot so call leader destroyed Canada with the evil , woke Liberals, you met your mstch now and I hope Canada becomes apart if USA to teach a lesson to every woke Liberal Canadian, we have to bring back strong Christian family communities and get rid of illegal migrants, transgenders, STOP Sexualizing children, STOP all foreign aid especially to the Ukraine, you help your own first and foremost, this idiot Justin Trudeau has to be kucked out of Canada and never let back aling with every other liberal.

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

Hopefully we Americans will get together and act to stop this madness and self destruction inflicted by this clown at the White House to please his boyfriend in russia

I hope the maga's get sick of krump. Hes a Nit Wit

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

As an American we made our bed now we get to lay in it. God I hope America can unite again.

American from Wisconsin. Standing in support of Canada. This country is going down the tubes fast! I hope that all Americans will take time to listen to your speech before listening to the BS that we will get from Trump tonight.......

So impressed with Trudeau and Canada as a whole. This should make any self respecting American citizen feel embarrassed to compare their apology for a president to this man and his team. P.S. Note to Trudeau - Trump is NOT a very smart guy, don't do what the rest of the world is trying to do, flatter this susceptible idiot hoping to get him on side, it won't, it just makes him certain that he is so special and clever and makes his behaviour 100% worse.

Somewhat right but not exactly right. According to Trump admin, Trump is actually trying to stop the circumvention of Chinese goods and Chinese drugs coming from Canada. Trudeau promised Trump to work on the drug issue, but I guess he did not if we are seeing the significant import tax on Canada now. And come on Trudeau, you dislike Trump and aren't exactly his friend. You talked back on him on many international stages. Anyways, I wish you two get along eventually and hope the same for US and Canada.

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

More power to you canada! USA, I hope you will get better soon

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.
