Good work Canadian up the old American mad man he to old for job he don’t know what to do

wow he tried to persuade american to turn against their own goverment.. you know why this wars happens in the first place.. its about security.. remember he was the one who F'ed his own people earlier..

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

It must be nice having a competent, serious, intelligent leader represent your country to the world. Americans wouldn't know what that feels like.

Trudeau every intelligent and sane know this is not your fault! The branches of the American government have become a complete joke especially with this idiotic nazi administration that loves communism!

Yall so fkn dumb af yall dont even know the benefits behind the tariffs for us Americans. Imagine someone helping your economy and not knowing about it while you criticizing the person helping you. Thats so fkn dumb. Poor Trump i feel bad for him as they're too many ignorant people out there. Think about it how in the f does tariffs benefit Trump in any kind of way. In nothing its just for the Country thats all

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States. they know it will harm American families, but the United States government currently does not care. They want to harm Americans so that they can create a slave class and a ruling class.

We all know it's not about the drugs. He wants Canadas resources, he wants Canada. Trump is a baby man. The worst president. Poor Americans. Trump will ruin America and side with Russia.

Trump is one of those people thatbwants to watch the world burn and know he caused it.. only one month in ? ...if he lasts his term hes going to have the usa so screwed up and everyone hungry broke and no more allies ... and the americans will watch it happen and cheer..

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.

All this crap about Fentanyl is a joke. What about the Sackler family and oxycotin??? What about that cost to the American people?!! They still haven’t paid out.\n\nThis fentanyl trafficking is a front.. \n\nYou know you’re dealing with a cluster b nightmare when… if u think about them you become enraged and your blood boils

God how I wish this man was my President. Please know, Canada, that millions of Americans like myself are disgusted by the traitor in the White House.

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.

Trudeau is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Many Canadians hate him. These comments must be monitored because I know of many Canadians that hate him. A lot of American traitors here. I am an American and I fully support President Trump and whatever he does. But I have no respect for this idiot.

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

As an American I pray that Canada/PM Trudeau knows that there is a massive % of us who understand that Canada has to stand on business & we hold no ill will for him protecting his country. PM Trudeau there is a massive % of Americans who despise trump & pray for his downfall (& those who follow him!) We as SANE AMERICANS know that this IDIOT who is president has begun/will continue to destroy our country(until he is stopped!) WE hold no grudges against countries who must fight back to protect themselves….WE envy you PM Trudeau & likewise countries who fight back because we are CLEARLY AWARE WE’VE BEEN CURSED WITH A MENTALLY ILL PRESIDENT WHO WON’T FIGHT FOR ALL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!

First chump trump is not smart at all. He just knows how dumb and ignorant many Americans are…

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

So many Americans are so horrified by what Trump is doing. We are so sorry. Please know this.

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

As an American, this is beyond embarrassing!!! Please know that not every American is like Trump….a majority of us aren’t!

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.

Thank you for honesty and eloquency PM Trudeau. While your tariff will hurt us, I understand this criminal residing in the peoples house is causing this response. Please know many Americans are disgusted with the convict, and the ignorant, kool aid drinking ass-holes that voted for him.. and yes that includes those evangelicals that claim to love God...

Speaking as an American in the Detroit area, we are sorry this is happening! Contrary to what the Trump administration is saying, the majority of Americans DID NOT vote for him or this utter BS. We are watching in horror. We know Canada, Mexico and Europe are our friends and allies, no matter what spin Trump spews out

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

Please know that half of us did not vote for this monstrous government and can’t comprehend the stupidity of US voters who believed the lies of right wing media .We are so confounded on what to do.We fantasize about Canada and Mexico invading the US and dividing governance between you as Americans clearly can’t govern themselves.

I am so impressed with Trudeau for speaking directly to we American people, and bypassing the trump administration that he knows has its own mission not for our good.

Thank you, Canada for Standing up for the American people and knowing who is causing so much pain and grief to the American people.

Prime Minister, I know you do not want to hurt the Americans. We have worked well together. I don't want President Zalensky harmed either or his country. I am sorry for all of us

Of course it has nothing to do with fentanyl. Everyone knows that, even most Americans know this. Trump is in bed with Putin, Putin wants to build an Empire again, wants his USSR back, and Trump wants to compete with him by building an American empire. Trump and Putin are pushing WW3, nobody else!!!

Please know that tRump does not represent the majority of true patriotic Americans. Not all Republicans are tRump cultists. We value our allies and we understand you standing up to a bully!

Dear our friends of the world, please know that we American disown this horrible, terrible, no good president and his government. Many of us are currently suffering, too.?

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!

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.””

People of Canada, please know that many, many Americans are not in favor of our President's actions, policies or behaviors. Buy Canadian!!

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.

As an American I'm so ashamed and embarrassed. Please know this person does not support this. I think something hinky happened with this election because the country I have grown up in does not condone this. I don't know how to stop this, I don't know what is going to happen and I'm scared. This isn't the America I know and I know I'm not alone in this. Please know this isn't the people.

As an AMERICAN here, I want all of our neighbors to know we love you all but it is time we stop being the most visited, sold to, ridiculed, laughed at, and highest debt country in the world. What everyone forgets is that the us was the leading exporter in the world just a century ago. No one wants to destroy another country. Of course there’s other ways to handle this but even if there was a different way none AMERICANS would still be upset. It’s ok for us to get destroyed and everyone else to prosper

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

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’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

Trudeau...you allowed illegals to pass into our country and they cost us hundreds of billions because of your action. You brought harm to Americans , Americans died because of illegals being allowed to passing thru your country knowingly they entering the U.S in violation of Federal Immigration Laws. I remember what you did to Canadians who apposed you, you seized their bank accounts, took away their assets and imprisonment for those who didn't yield to your wish.

I didn’t vote for the FELON or f ELON. Prime Minister Trudeau will you allow Michigan to succeed to Canada?? ??????\nAs a highly educated Michigander who has spent over 5 decades enjoying the beauty, kindness, culture and hospitality of Canadians visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario, Toronto and so many other beautiful places with my parents, siblings and now my children, I am heartbroken that it has come to this. Please know that Americans do not support this clown and his GOP lackeys. We love you and you will ALWAYS be our neighbors. Resist, we understand and support you even though it will cause pain. ??????

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

Time to pay your fair share. The American taxpayers protect our entire continent with our Navy we should tax South America and the rest of North America and Greenland for protection. Look up the Navy numbers and look at how many boats we have. We are the strongest geographical Nation in this world. Because of the ocean surrounding us. Everyone knows that it would be damn near impossible to take us over but they're finding it far too easy to divide the American people. Find your nationalism.??????
