I don't know why they had to remove him from the head of the party.... I will never vote conservative, they all suck up to dictator Trump.

How is the U.S. not any better than Russia!? And how is your Orange warlord not any better than Putin!?! When tRump is pulling tactics straight out of Putins playbook!? He is cozying up and taking the side of dictators and threatening Canada and other countries the same way that Putin did to Ukraine, and then wonder why relations have gone down hill so fast!!??

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.

Love you Canada You did the right things. Kick The Trump dictator leader.

Wake up before it's too late Americans! Trump is a puppet of Russia. He's going to bankrupt the country and then when the people take to the streets he's going to impose a National Marshal law and sign an executive emergency order where he takes over the entire US government as a dictator.

Trump is easing pressure on Russia so he can try to get elected forever. The jackass wants to be a dictator surrounded by oligarchs

As long as tRu.mp POTUS, it will only get worse, if not already. There's nothing that can be done about it. tRump is a nasty bully. He's a narcissist dictator. An evil man.

Thank you sir. Unbelievable a vicious dictator bully criminal is in president Trump's head?

Trudeau!! What are you doing??? You are NOT the PM of Canada any more! You call Trump a dictator at the expense of Canadians??? You are increasing the tariffs FOR Canadians?? How idiotic!!!! Get OFF!!!!!

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 am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

Trump is nothing but a bully, there's only one way to deal with a bully. The more countries that stand against him, the sooner Americans will realize their mistake and take their country back from this wannabe dictator who is nothing but a fraud. Mexico stands as Canada stands, against bullies.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

When are we going to kick out this fascist dictator ?!?! We all know musk arranged this win for him and this is not what we want !! I stand with Canada and Ukraine and everything that America once stood for and the principals we were founded on ! Fck Trump Fck Musk Fck Vance Fck Thiel Fck Putin ! Where is my America ??? What happened to our integrity ?!?!

It's not us!!! It's wannabe DICTATOR Trump!!!!???

Americans, let's rise up against dictator TRUMP! He is dangerous, and wants to destroy our country! He is not working for the American people, he is working for Russia!!!

Imagine robbing the United States for years with unfair tariffs and then crying about making it fair by gaslighting Americans and Canadians by describing Trump's attempt at negotiating a peace deal and saving lives as appeasing a murderous dictator. Trudeau is a morally corrupt and cowardly piece of sht.

As good as it is for Trudeau to stand his ground, he really needs to tread carefully with Trump, who is a petulant child, a horrible, classless, narcissistic dictator who loves nothing more than fighting and revenge. Horrible, horrible person.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

Donald Trump is a traitor! Remember when they had that meeting, Donald Trump, Putin, and North Korean dictator they didn’t invite Zelensky, after this meeting that’s when Donald Trump, was putting pressure on Zelensky to sign the mineral contract that’s why Donald Trump was acting the way he was acting, because Putin was mad at him. You wanna know why, one of his top KGB generals retired. He said that Putin help Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. He said that Donald Trump owe them all this was in the same time all this happened. That’s why Donald Trump has got pressure on his ass. Putin is putting pressure on Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the People’s enemy and that’s what I see. I’ve been following this liar since the apprentice, he is a liar and the father of the lie”

I hate being an American right now. These next four years cannot pass quickly enough. \n\nMany of us do NOT stand with Dictator Trump. Not at all.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

The stupidity of trump is incompetent for him to take sides with Russia over our allies will weaken our country and maybe allow our real enemies to invade our country because of his actions getting rid of people who have experience and knowledge in the job they been doing for years all this action just to be able to get close with Putin to be a dictator also in a country that has been free for over 250 years I want to see if people that support him and the republican will agree with him over the wishes of the American people.

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 ????

The tariffs make sense when you realize that trump's real goal is to destroy democracy everywhere so he can be a dictator like Putin.

Trump the dictator.

Mr Prime minister, you call trump a smart guy. NO, he is an idiot, he is a criminal, a rapist, a person that stole state secrets, he possibly gave some of those secrets to dictator putin.\nA totally stupid idiot, he is in musk and putins pockets.

Love from Sweden. \nLet dictator Trump destroy his country and the relationship with alias to the US.

Wow wow wow. Finally a leader that called Putin a murderous dictator and that America is now with Russia. Trump is a fool!

100% TARRIFS ON TESLA WILL STOP MUSK'S SALES IN CANADA ALL THE TESLAS SITTING IN CANADA GATHERING DUST AND NOW MUSK WILL HAVE TO SHIP THEM BACK TO THE U S A AT HIS EXPENSE AND STORE THEM OR HAVE A BLOWOUT SALE BECAUSE OF OVER STOCK!!!!!! THIS WILL REALLY PUT A BIG DENT IN TESLA'S PROJECTED PROFITS!!!!! TRUMP IS FINE WITH MUSK WEARING A TSHIRT IN THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BIG WHITE BOLD LETTERS BUT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ZELENSKY WEARING A WELL FITTED CLEAN OUTFIT TRUMP REALLY THINKS HE'S A GOD BUT IS REALLY AN EVOLVING DICTATOR HAND IN HAND WITH PUTIN WHO OFFICIALLY IS ALREADY A DICTATOR!!!!!!!

Your dad was a dictator ! And your attitude instead your truck driver was pretty a dictator attitude ! And you want to give a lesson! Your closer friend ???? You don’t have any respect for Trump! How hypocritical you are! But there is one thing that you need to be aware! American are tired that the world made profif on the back of the American consumer ! It is time for these countries to learn to stop doing big profit on our back! Enough is enough !

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.

Please don’t think all Americans agree with trump there are also innocent people feeling the heat here with this dictating administration.

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 ????

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.

Scotland , as ever stands with you Canada . Trump again not welcome back here.\n\nHoping the British gov follows the Scotgov position and don't bow to this dictator

Canada's Trudeau is the dictator, not Putin. Funny how all these dicators, Trudeau, Zelensky, US demo party call Trump and Putin dictators...they call everyone exactly what they themselves actually are

I'm canadian and trudolf is a piece of ?.The corrupt liberals have destroyed Canada not trumps tariffs. If the tariffs are not bad enough this corrupt liberal reciprocal tariffs are going to destroy us even more. This piece of garbage froze our bank accounts when we peacefully protested against his tyranny. Don't be fooled by this dictator. This is exactly what he wants it plays into the corrupt liberal agenda to make the people more dependent on the government. Trudolf is a lying piece of ?

The trump administration is deliberately destabilising the economy of the USA strongest allies, why? Because he is gearing up to be alighned with the dictator clan ,Russia china, Iran, North Korea.\nThere is something traitorous going on here

Trump craves to be a dictator. He’s Putin’s puppet. He is clearly trying to align America with Russia, but Americans don’t want what this. This is the biggest betrayal to the United States, EVER! Absolutely disgusting!

Trump is fašist, dictator who will made not only market war but chaos when china will come winner.

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

Trump is ruining our country !!!!!!!!\nPrices on anything coming into the US will rise dramatically !!!!!\nTHANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOTED IN DICTATOR TRUMP !!!!!!!!! WASN'T THE FIRST TIME BAD ENOUGH ?????????

Trump is trash and he wants to be a dictator so bad is sad

What a refreshing intelligent measured response to the illiterate tRUMP, notice PM Trudeau, didn't utter an ummm once, get confused or lose his train of thought, unlike the dictator tRUMP and his boyfriend fElon.\nNo shouting or bombastic rhetoric and lies, just a measured, articulate and intelligent response.
