The Canadian government is there to serve its citizens. yo, merica - who have lost tons of jobs recently. How nice would that be if our country was there for you like theirs is for them? Keep watching what your ill deserved vote for FDT gets you. Less and less every fn day!!!!

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

You know listening to Trudeau speak this is how a true leader should act and think how much more of the abuse of government are we going to take as Americans?

He is right Canada ? at is trump doing at all same reason he is selling American government houses we the seniors can't afford higher food is ridiculous. We don't count any way we only worked 30 years to be poore is not worth it to work with illness like I did heart patient and sle lupus and many more and that never stopt me from working only to find out I be poor when I have to retire why why are seniors so poore. We worked for our money know we go with out meds just to make sure we have a little food ? sorry about the spelling I am going blind and I wars going blind from lupus why I wars still working

This American is 100% ashamed of, and embarrassed by, the actions of our government toward our own people and our allies and of course our dear friend Canada. My cohorts hope and pray we can regain our sanity as a country and return to a nation of good values, not one governed by greed and hate.

I am ashamed to be an American. How we have come to this is beyond my comprehension. I apologize on behalf of our government. It's shameful

OUR REPUBLICAN/MAGA GOVERNMENT, Not just our Government, it is the ALT-RIGHT. If it were American Socialism or even moderate democrats we might be better off. Cause America does socialism and democracy pretty well when given time and access to equity in an array of voices represented.

Canada and the US have two different governments. But we are, in reality, ONE people.\nThe majority of US citizens, both those who voted for and those who did not vote for Trump, oppose tariffs on our Canadian ancestors.

Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine and not with useful idiots planted in our government by Putler to destroy the West from the inside out and everything America stood for since WWII.

BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

AMEN Trudeau tell the truth about our new Government not doing the right thing for us Americans. Thank you for saying the truth.

Why do I feel like Trudeau cares more about my well-being than my own government? Not all of us Americans support Trump. Frankly, I'm terrified of what he's doing. I support your push back, Canada. It only makes sense. I'm glad there are countries out there with safe and logical leaders. Hopefully someday the U.S. can have that again.

Do what you got to do, Mister Trudeau, sir! We know that our orange President and his masters, Puitin and Musk, are Dictators and Tyrants. Our American Government is now corrupt. We, the people, stand with Canada! Do what ya gotta do, sir.

Thank you Canada for being Canada. We/US love you. Please continue to speak truth. I am ashamed of our government.

Stop saying the American government when referring to Trump: all he is doing is just him. Congress wasn’t involved\nStart reporting that way

Crushing citizens who speak out against him forcing vaccines on citizens shutting down Parliament, slapping Canadians with carbon tax while he flys all over the world in a private government jet. Bringing in millions of immigrants while Canadians struggle. There is nothing honourable about this leftist clown at all.

All governments just want to see their people broke. It’s all a lie and a scam

I thought you were gone Trudy. We like you Canada but we don’t really need you. We can solve the problems we get from you in 15 minutes. This guy has no problem freezing protesters bank accounts, forcing people to scan QR codes to decided who eats at a restaurant, and government sanctioned beatings of peaceful protesters because they dare stand up for freedom. Canada wake up. Trudy is a good old fashioned communist. The more he fights back against Trump, the more I know Trump is right.

I stand with Trump....deal with him not us. You ate a lying hypocrite that needs to resign. You had a chance to prevent this but chose your WOKE pride...you spit lies like breathe air. You control the government funded fake media. You opened your borders and now you deal with the consequences of your woke government.

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

Can I move to Canada? I want to live in a country with a government that acutally works.

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Tarrifs by Trump are to distract Americans while MAGA entrench themselves in federal government

I was born in the US and have had pride in my country -- IN THE PAST. Not now and not as long as my fellow citizens and our legislators back trump and vance and musk. I support Canada and Mexico and Ukraine and the Palestinians. Drugs are the LEAST of our worries in this country. Giving our government to an oligarch like musk is our biggest issue as well as getting in bed with putin.

All of this talk about this a*s that's in the oval office and no one is stopping him....what y'all need to do is investigate Melania....Melania is Russian descendant....Treason, espionage, selling of top government secrets, she's been in place all this time for her president Putin.... she's a cell and a plant.

Agent Orange Lord Voldemort started the trade war. The rest of us Americans(who have common sense and didn’t vote for him) are just getting pulled right into it. It sucks feeling you have no control over what the moron in the White House and his minion morons do with our government.

I hear you sir\nI hold to decency and love\nHopefully this darkness will destroy itself soon\n?\nMaybe I’ll visit Canada if you still allow Americans\nWeee just people\nNot evil government

The majority of Canadians no longer trust Trudeau or his liberal cronies. He has prorouged our government to tie our hands behind our backs. Do you people understand what that means? It means Canadians no longer have a voice or a vote. Of course CNN fake news is promoting this bs and the lies because he pays them. We're not free to choose our own government, news sources or speak freely anymore. We want him gone and Pierre Pollieve to replace him.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

OUR government!? The GOOD people of the United States-didn’t - elect that STUPID PUKE TRUMP!?

And there's nothing we Americans can do about it because the clowns that Republicans elected are working against their own constituents because they are afraid of an ignorant narcissist who is manipulating the government completely for his interests and out of revenge for those who indicted him for all his illegal activity. He continues to skate above the law.

Our US government is terrible. tramp wants to destroy usa, he does what putting wants. I feel like hostige trapped in hands of terorist.???

So proud of OUR PM, this is going to hurt us and Americans, but we have to protect our land and people. We still love our American brothers but not your government. ??

sure lets just have tariffs between governments to see the people suffer. right on

He read the US governmènt for filth. He is so right. WTH with tariffs with Canada. It doesn't make sebse. Our government is acting arrogantly and condescendingly by continuing to call Trudeau 'governor' and refer to them as the 51st state.

I am with you Canada. And very sorry our country voted this into our government. Can I come live with you all? Much respect for the Canadians. And I hope someday all this will change.

It’s not our government. It’s the government of the ultra wealthy and dumb.

Finally Trudeau is talking sense after 9 years of rubbish from him and his Liberal government, I guess he really doesn't care because he's fianally quitting and we are getting a new leader!?!?

To the American people, your government (especially TRUMP, ELON MUSK and GOP) has chosen to fck you

We as Americans didn’t ask for this, better say that shit to these demonic ass politicians and the shadow government that’s calling the shots?

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Not my government,.I didnt vote for this shit

Lots of drama. Stop fentanyl thats all american government is asking.

That criminal president is ruining our country. I stand with Canada all the way. I'm sorry for our shitty government and not proud of united states.

To the people all over the world who supports ??, ???! To our ?? friends, we do not blame you, we blame your government. We support you as you are supporting us, but it’s time to push back before it’s too late. Together let’s stop this madness!!!

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Trump has disappointed many many Americans with this decision and his opposition to Ukraine—he will regret this, Canada our closest friends and supporting 3 years of Putin sickening terrorist attacks of Ukrainian civilians! I voted for Trump, but he is only ONE branch of our government, a Democracy, not Authoritarian! Our legislators should override Trumps decision, it takes 2/3 approval by our House and Senate and it does not matter what Trump does, he cannot Veto! Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Canada is not merely a friend to the U.S. It is family.\n\nAs a U.S. American, I side with and support my sibling – the Canadian people, and their government – in this needless, stupid attack by the U.S. President against them and his own people.
