As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

I believe that Trump & Putin have a plan to dominate the world with Putin taking Europe and Trump taking Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panana, aka the Americas. What part China & North Korea play in Asia, I don't know. But they look to be inching in this direction!

As a South African. Wow what a speech. Americans have not voted well. America is so important to the world, such that we feel around the world that we should also have a vote for american president ??

Trump is a joke to the world. Countries have realized Trump can’t be trusted. He has left America open to Russia, China and North Korea to take over.

Trump acts like he's on fentanyl talks like he's on his dumb show the apprentice. Best for the whole world to cut America out and let the people vote him back out for starting the 3rd world War

trump is a dictator too stupid for his own good i hope america wakes up and oust this idiot! the world is aligning up against trump when no one buys your product no one visits your country be carefull what you wish for!

We don’t care we stand with president trump and his agenda of America first. Canada invited millions of students across the world and dumped into usa ?? unexpected

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Trump will never in his lifetime know class, morality, and humility simply because he represents none of those things. He quite literally doesn’t know what those things are! America has a huge problem hence the reason for electing someone like him, and it’s a terrible shame that their problems become the world’s problems due to their global stature. Sigh.

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

You are FIRE Justin Trudeau. ♥♥♥ Trump is single-handedly making the whole world despise America. Way to go.

Orange man is literally destroying your country the worst history has ever seen. The world is watching and feeling second hand shame for you, you have become a laughing stock and are turning into a country that your allies around the world will soon want nothing to do with. And all the dumb Americans(there's lots of smart ones) are completely brainwashed to north korean levels by orange man. not looking good America

Canada’s 25% Tariffs? A Win for American Businesses in the Long Run\n\nAt first glance, Canada slapping a 25% tariff on U.S. goods might seem like a negative for America. But in reality, this move could actually work in our favor by making the U.S. economy stronger, more self-sufficient, and less dependent on foreign markets.\n\t1.\tBoosting American Manufacturing & Production – When Canada makes U.S. goods more expensive with tariffs, American businesses have a huge opportunity to shift focus to domestic markets and new trade partners. This could bring more production back home and reduce reliance on Canada.\n\t2.\tEncouraging Trade Diversification – The U.S. isn’t limited to Canada. If they want to play hardball, we can expand exports to other countries with fewer trade restrictions. Canada makes up about 15% of U.S. exports, but the rest of the world is wide open. This is a chance to diversify and strengthen our economy.\n\t3.\tMaking Canada Pay More for U.S. Goods – Tariffs don’t just hurt exporters—they also raise costs for Canadian consumers. If Canada wants American products, they’ll end up paying more or have to settle for alternatives that might be lower quality or more expensive from other countries.\n\t4.\tStrengthening America’s Negotiating Position – If Canada wants to raise tariffs, that gives the U.S. even more leverage in future trade talks. The U.S. economy is far larger and more powerful than Canada’s, and in the long run, they need us more than we need them.\n\t5.\tReducing America’s Trade Deficit – If fewer goods are exported to Canada, that means more products stay in the U.S. This helps lower dependence on foreign markets and could even stabilize prices for American consumers.\n\nBottom Line: Canada’s Move Hurts Them More Than It Hurts the U.S.\n\nIf Canada wants to put tariffs on U.S. goods, let them. In the long run, it pushes America to be more self-reliant, strengthens our industries, and forces Canada to pay the price for their own policies.\n\nAt the end of the day, America has the stronger economy, better resources, and more trade options—Canada needs U.S. trade more than we need theirs. If they want to make American goods more expensive, they’ll feel it a lot more than we will.

Trump is the best and Trump will be great for America, he will increase Tariff, make everything cheap for USA while make the world PAY, and Trump will cut down prices in housing & groceries! MAGAforLife!

Canadians are reasonable and polite.? Nicest people on the face of earth. Americans are also great. West please don't divide. North America is the best place on the earth. West is the inspiration for everyone in the world. Please unite please.

The world genuinely detests America. You are all bubble babies living in a country that doesn’t give 2 craps about the rest of the world apart from what you can gain. Taking receipts!

MAGA Trump administration are traitors to America ?? and the democratic world ? selling us all out to murderous Russia ??

The Orange Idiot is showing just how much Putin has him in Putin's service. Time & history will tell how greatly corrupted he's been by Putin. The Orange Idiot is just the most despicable piece of human excrement ever. It's America's fault as you voted for him. Regret / buyers' remorse doesn't cut much ice wrt this situation. Let's hope the world survives him (physically & politically) without enduring a global war. I won't hold my breath.

After he cut all his ties with the rest of the world to focus just on America, Trudeau is cutting his ties with America now. F incompetence right in his face

Trump wants the world to hate America so he can do whatever he wants to it, and the world will not care

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Only leader in the world who has issues with America china india and many more what a leader with great vision

???, our closest friend? We protect you cowards from the rest of the world! All while you fuck us every day on lumber! If im gonna be forced to pay a premium. I want it from AMERICA! keep your lumber and your shit fighting skills hockey!

Look americans who voted trump america will be great for loosing friends and allied around the world the only friend with you is putin.

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

When I was growing up we all had “American dream”… now, the feelings towards American government I can’t even describe.. is that making America great again? The world hating America?

How is this possible that a lunatic mentally ill person in America can upend the entire world including his own country?

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY THE HATED MAN IN CANADA EVEN HE NEED 10 BODYGUARDS TO MOVE AROUND FOR HIS DAILY LIFE AS PM OF CANADA WOULD CANADA CITIZENS THAT DEPENDING ON AMERICA FOOD TO SAVE MONEY AND STAY ALIVE NOW TARIFFS ON AMERICA GOODS HOW HAPPY CANADA PEOPLE BE WITH HOA HAS MORE POWER THAN HIS OWN CITIZENS.POOR CANADA CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE CHEAP FOOD TO SURVIVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU EVIL DICTATORSHIP.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR CANADA AND HIS CITIZENS EVEN HIS EXISTENCE ON THE WORLD LIKE A BULB SWITCH HE THERE AND THE NEXT HE GONE FOR YEARS NOTHING FAMOUS GOOD HE DONE RECORDED BY INTERNATIONAL REPORTERS 0%.\nCANADA HAS ITS OWN HOMELESS PEOPLE WILD ON CANADA STREET BUT INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

Donnie doesn't have a next term so he's taking this opportunity to do things that make HIM better and not things that make the country better. I mean what's the worst that could happen? Impeachment? Been there done that and he's back in White House. Get sued and be labeled a felon? Also been there done that and what of it? Dear America, please fix this..... the world begs you.

America will soon be allied with Russia the western world needs to move away from America

TRUMP IS A MORON!!! Trump hates America and I believe he is an agent for russia and has been for decades!! We have to stop him! He is the MOST EVIL, and the BIGGEST LIAR the world has EVER SEEN! The USA is in BIG trouble! ???

I'm not an expert by any stretch but I think what America is trying to do is, by doing this, force the US market to start up working again, America can make 90% of everything it needs. \n\nThink about WW2. America wasn't reliant on world trade or manufacturing. Quite the opposite actually.\n\nOnly thing that makes sense to me.

America deserves who they voted for. The rest of the world doesn't.

America first! US is no longer the worlds cash cow!

I speak as a Californian. I am so, so terribly sorry, Canada. I never voted for tRump, ever. I hate him in every way. This is all so heartbreaking. ?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing up for your entire country. Our president is destroying America and handing us over to Russia. ? I stand with Canafa, Ukraine, Mexico and democracies of the world.

It isn't Anti-Americanism, it is Anti-Trump. The cancer in the world right now is Convict Trump. America, do your part and remove your Dictator.

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.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

I wish America had a leader like Trudeau. Imagine a government that actually says it wants to help its citizens during this challenging time in the world. Versus Trump and Musk cutting government programs that help vulnerable people survive.

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.

as an american, I hope not only canada, but also the rest of the world sells their resources to other countries. trump needs to learn that america is not able to stand alone!

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!

The world knows that aMERICA can't be trusted now

A crazy man is leading America. He is a bad person to top it off. Such a contrast to other world leaders. Very scary time for the world.
