Trump and his crooked administration are traitors and can’t be trusted. They are not protecting US citizens! There’s an internal coup in the US unfortunately. Protect your country Canada!

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Unfortunately, our country is being led by a toxic and narcissistic felon who only believes in hate and revenge!

We know our politicians and president are liars. Unfortunately MAGA is stupid. Yes I said it out loud. Stupid.

most people do not seem to get, that trump is the face of the majority of americans. the great majority is on board with what trump is doing. unfortunately.

Unfortunately, we listen to are government. He should be talking to the state and the president not directly to the American people. Public opinion will no less still be on the side of the American president.

UNFORTUNATELY TRUMP IS ACTING AS A BULLY. \nHE IS A SMART GUY BUT THIS HURTS EVERYONE.

We support our allies. Everyone, except possibly some Republicans, know Trump and Vance work for Putin, not the people. The rest of the Republicans in government, unfortunately, don’t care.

As an American, I stand with you Canada ❤. We did not want this. We should be united with our neighbors and not with dictators. Once the ppl that voted for this guy wake up (if ever) the pendulum will swing. Unfortunately we’re on this horrific rollercoaster ??‍♀️ right now. Truly sorry ?

Unfortunately this is becoming a common trend with your new president even with South Africa saying South Africa is oppressing Afrikaners who are the richest and wealthiest in the country all because we took Israel to the ICJ defending racists? Maybe the DEMS were correct

My hat goes off to you sir! Thank you for your clarity on this matter. Unfortunately we have a maniac for our commander and chief, who has the Republicans to back all of his idiotic plans. I can only say may God bless us all through the next (4) years of his destruction! I have a strong feeling that the worst is yet to come... Stay strong Canada

Sorry Canada unfortunally we have a leader that is trying to make the rich reacher and trying to be our leadderfor as long as he can't

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

we have become a fascist state unfortunately ...i guess americans will have to find out what they had and how long it took to make things ok with our institutions 3rd world here we come

I am not a fun of Primer Minister Trudeau, but I really like his descriptions of all of the situation, Bravo to you. This situation is very unfortunate, is clear there is lots of pretexts to lunch that war on us.

Facts and logic don’t work against Trump unfortunately. Man’s a Russian lapdog.

Articulate, good looking, but not very pragmatic. ? This is a weak move by JT. How unfortunate.

Canadian here, I just feel really bad for the normal Americans who didn't vote for this orange clown who seems hellbent on making their lives miserable. We don't hold it against you, and this is a war with your government, not the people. Americans will always be our brothers and sisters, we just gotta get through this extremely weird and disturbing chapter in history. My grandpa fought side by side with Americans in WW2, and gave his life to stop fascist idiots like Trump. History can't, and won't repeat itself. Unfortunately, this all needs to happen for pro-trump Americans to feel the pain and realize what he is.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but well done on a great speech . Unfortunately Donald will simply say we haven’t done enough to curtail the flow of fentanyl into the US

Yeah yeah just stop with the BS Trudeau,....we've been getting over tariffed for years...and no your border isn't safe...do the research correctly,...and unfortunately we have to push you guys to protect your own border. Remember Canada is a country that won't even pay their nato bill? these guys are full of crap and taking advantage of tariffs is over. Just charge us what's fair. We can't be taken advantage of forever. These people are idiots...we don't need Canada to sustain this country. Time for businesses to come back to the US.

Unfortunately, our presidents are Idiots, Lunatics & Thieves... Smart, is not ? in their dimension in time...

America invaded Canada twice during the revolution and unfortunately they kicked our ass both times. Just sayin

I didn't vote for Trump - all three times. Unfortunately, more than half of my countryman were either too stupid and/or too racist. The first Trump administration was not good. I fear that this time, it will be worse. Keep up the good fight, Canada!

PM Trudeau, 70% of Americans do NOT want this either. Unfortunately, that remaining 30% is well-armed, is gullible, is fanatic, and is organized.

I am very sorry for the damage and suffering that these tariffs and trade wars will cause to people in our two countries, as it is clear that many people are. It is obvious that Donald cares more about himself and his various fantasies than he cares about other people. Unfortunately, he is supported in this by his cabinet, congressional Republicans, and enough ill-intentioned voters to make this our new reality. I hope that there will be a point in the future when life will become friendly again.

Unfortunately well done Trudeau. ??

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Trump is not the sole reason we’re here. Canada, please continue to do right by your citizenry, their health care, and strive for an educated public. The country you see before you is unfortunately under the influence of Putin’s minions & sycophants.

Sorry unfortunately Americans voted him back, I truly truly apologize from the other half who never wanted him back but we lost.

I am Canadian, and I know very well that the majority of Americans are reasonable and intelligent people. Unfortunately, your president and his team are not. It's sad.

almost the whole world is laughing at us, I am now ashamed to be an American, my love for America is unfortunately being destroyed by a stupid government under Trump ?

US is a traitor country! Canada should do business with Europe to strengthen our economy and military before US starts to try destabilizing Canada and Europe! US is our new common enemy unfortunately!

A little too proactive the dear Trump. Unfortunately.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

People that support justice and democracy are always respectful in comments, but if you read what putin and trump supporter's have to say, it's just insults and arrogance. That's the difference. Unfortunately, the uneducated form a majority in trumps supporters.

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

Thank you Canada! I’m so sorry this is happening, but thank you for calling out lies coming from this side. And thank you for retaliating, because unfortunately, I think we need to break before we can grow, and that’s so sad

As the Canadian I can say surely that unfortunately the American wallet is going to empty quickly... All your prices are going to go up. We will stand up to a bully and we will fight for our Land

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Half Canadian half British here. Thanks for the support! We will beat trump. Unfortunately I didn’t think I’d use those words a few months ago…

Amen brother!! unfortunately there are some aligned with that political party that have no problem voting against their own interest due to ignorance among other things

❤ I'm sorry Canada! We have a maniac in charge here. I didn't vote for him. Those who did will pay a price. Unfortunately now we all have to pay in so many ways. They are against the old people and many others. I pray we survive this undemocratic takeover ?

Unfortunately you have a real estate developer running the USA, so Greenland can be purchased, Gaza can become a riviera, Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, Ukraine can be arm twisted into handing over its minerals and Canada can become the 51st state so that it can be plundered of all its land and resources. Donald thinks he is intelligent and everyone else is stupid.

Canada We know it’s not You! Unfortunately because Racism is Ingrained in the fabric of America, We are here yet Again?? Because a vote for An Orange cheetah is just insane. They thought by voting for Orange boy the stuff being implemented would only affect people of color. Check Your hearts America God is Aware of who is whom & Judgement it at the Door??

Unfortunately Trump supporters won't listen to a word of this. Trump is just trying to weaken the Canadian economy so they're more willing to join us. Trying to strong arm every country surrounding the U.S. I want you to know that most Americans are against this shit.

Your General said this is isolating Canada. No it isn't. The UK, Europe and Asia are very open to trade. Indeed many have existing deals which can only grow.\n\nI hear that there are a great many frustrated Americans. Americans who don't want this trade war. Unfortunately Your commander in chief is Your voice on the World stage. His choices are effectively Your choices. HE represents your country. It's him we have to deal with, or not, as the case may be.\n\nUntil you can wrestle the House, the Senate and ultimately the Oval, off these walking-disasters The US with edge closer and closer to being a Paraiah state.\n\nGood luck with that. You're going to need it. The World is already making alternative plans wrt defence, trade and political ideology. All without the US... think about that....

Unfortunately MAGA will believe everything Trump says ?

Prime Minister Trudeau is a real leader, calm, polite, intelligent and well spoken. Unfortunately, many americans do not see Donnie and vnace as real nor reasonable leaders.\n\nEdit: I truly hope that people like General Clark look really close at the inofrmation that came out that Donnie is actually a russia asset and groomed to have been for decades.

I guess siding with the bully as he was messing with many counties all these years is now hitting back to both EU and Canada. Very brave speech, though. Unfortunately, international affairs are driven by economic and military power, not by intellectual capacity.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.
