As an American, I just want my fellow Americans to know that even Canadians don’t want Justin Trudeau. The guy’s like a malfunctioning AI chatbot—spitting out pre-programmed nonsense nobody asked for while the crowd collectively checks their watches. He’s the political version of a participation trophy: loud, useless, and only still around because no one’s taken out the trash yet. Watching him talk smack to cameras is like watching a mime in a hurricane—pointless, painful, and embarrassing for everyone involved.

Ony a tiny fraction of people beyond the border have put fire on things that could easily be settled through talk. I do hope that Canadians remain proud and calm as always.

Sad day for North America, breaks my heart. As a Canadian, this is not how I had hoped for all of our futures,.... Talk abouy 10 steps backwards....??

?Canadians started to shit talk as well idk about WW3 but we are definitely having WWE

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

Zero issues with border? Brother it’s us beneath you. You got the Mexican cartels directly beneath you creating tunnels and hopping the river? Nah nah first of you can’t even live in 80% of your country so idk where this big guy talk be coming from. When the pst four years all I’ve heard FROM Canadians is how AWFUL this guy is yet noted you love him cause he doesn’t like Trump lmao pathetic country and pathetic attitude

Can someone explain to me, why this cool guy will step back from his job? He can talk in such a clear way and with a good message and with empathy. I wish he would stay from what I hear from him (but I am not canadian)

funny how the dictator talks about putin as a dictator. funny how so many canadians want trudeau OUT of office because of his totalitarian edicts especially during covid. hypocrisy is not pretty

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

American leaders could take lesson from Canadian Prime Minister to talk diplomatically. Our President Trump/Vance suck at decision

Why can’t the Democratic leadership besides crocket, AOC, Pete and Bernie talk like this. The Canadian Prime Minister is explaining it like crayons for the ignorant people in the U.S. who voted for this orange man to understand.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

French d-slap on his way out of office! ?? talking the most without stutter after 8 years in office ? ?. Wants Canadians to remember his only act.

We need more of this European Mexican and Canadian leaders talking directly to the American people cuz our government is actively lying and hurting us understand this is not by mistake it's very deliberate..

Mr Trudeau \nbeautiful to hear how much you care for your Canadian. \nAs a American I'm I'm embarrassed how our leader talks to people.\nHe has no compassion and no respect for no one I'm embarrassed be an American with a leader like him?.

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

People aren’t even talking about tourism because it’s not directly hit by tariffs. Over 20 billion dollars in 2024 spent by Canadians in the US for travel. Tons of people already cancelled any trips to the US to boycott. If even 10% less people go to US this year, upwards of 2 billion in tourism $ is gone , and roughly 14000 jobs estimated. \n\nImagine what else could be affected

Classic CNN talking over the Canadian PM instead of letting us hear him answer questions.

He talks like people are stupid maybe Canadians are. i don't know but he is slow

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

He talk so much. Doest Canada give funds to Ukraine? I stop buying Canadian products

To americans, the guy talking is no better than trump. Look up F off trudeuau to see how much canadians hates this guy.

As an American, I'm embarrassed how our president acts and talks. God-bless us all. Look how a real president talks and acts Canadian should be proud.

Dear Justin Trudeau, STFU already. We don't need you making things worse.\n\nOh, and a great many of us still want you to serve time in prison. I hope that our law enforcement and justice system won't disappoint us. Sadly, faith in these entities has been obliterated, and a great deal of that is your fault. Stop talking, you have no mandate from the vast majority of Canadians. Send us to the polls, let us chose our future for ourselves.

0:34-0:37 “Canadians are reasonable and polite…”\nThen why am I in Canada for one minute getting yelled at by CBSA…\n\nBro Justin stop lying.\n\nY’all need to stop it, I’d rather live in Japan than Canada…\nAt least they don’t talk about race all day long. Smh

Trudeau doesn't give 2 sh_t about the canadian working class, he's a laurentian elite, just setting up his predecessor, keep talking and do nothing as always. Can't wait till carbon tax boy gets lost next week

? he rhymed the first sentance of his speech. Wants to talk about inflation, meanwhile his varbon taxes inflated Canadian markets more than anything in our history. What a hypocrite.

Canada has done nothing but put out propaganda. Canada is a Liberal country that interferes with our elections. Now if I want to know how to adjust my fake eyebrows or how to talk tough while having a small population and only one neighbor that happens to be an ally and the world's super power then I'll ask Trudeau and the Canadians for their input. In the meantime, their people don't work and the Canadians depend on us for their rights to the sea since they don't spend much on defense. America will win. Canada won't exist without America.

what all of a sudden Trudeau is on your side -- you stupid Canadians wake the fuck up, All Canada has to do is lower its tariffs to the USA and bam its reciprocal. Trudeau is playing the redical left card sounding off all the talking points of the left media for the past 4 years or more. Hes still the same fucking liar as he always been -- none of those things are true but if you believe them then judgment is coming for you and you will not Escape.

Governor Trudeau is talking tough in the final days of his failed regime. Let's not forget governor that you pee'd your pants in front the Canadian people on the world stage in the face of President Trump and then followed up resigning!

The sooner this man is replaced the better for Canada, this guy can't run his nose, and has expedited the Economic Decline of A Nation abundant in Natural Resources Minerals and Gas.The only Canadian Talking Dollars and Sense is the Bald Head Shark lurking in the Tank in America.

Truedeau as can only blister his finger on a hot stove. HE is absolutely NO threat to President Trump. He’s so limp. He’s hurt Canadians more than Trump. And no you cannot talk to Americans. We listen to our President. He can’t fix his own problems yet he wants to preach to Americans.

Don’t be fooled, Trudeau has made the opposition in Canada much more popular with his “good talk/ opposite results. The Dems lost for this exact reason in the US America will be strong either way. Canadians are much stronger without Trudeau no matter what they decide to do. I am sure many would agree no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on.

This is a LOT of TALK for a man who ruined the Canadian economy with bliss. Yet no one is going to point that out since it doesn’t fit their agenda. Imagine having a 22% approval rating and trying to tell the US what they’re doing is wrong….

We do not need any Canadian products. Tariffs will work, we have natural resources gas, oil, minerals. do not need you. Critical minerals. that's a joke. We have all the fertilizer we need. So I am not sure what he is talking about. Its time to bring the auto makers home, Its time to bring all our jobs back home. The canadians are tired of him as well and he is out in October and the conservative party will win just like in the US. People are tired of the left agenda.

What a fucking clown, Im Canadian...Who the fuck he think he are talking like this and he really thinks thats gonna work out well with Trump ? For 4 years....what a stupid move!

Listening to this, them damn Canadians got themselves a real leader. That's what im talking about.

Canadian here. We have no idea who this woman talking on behalf of Canada is. THank goodness we have Trudeau standing up for us.

When WILL CNN TALK ABOOUT ALL THE TARIFFS CANADA HAS ON US!!!!! I am a very small business owner who seals things on Etsy. I sold only one thing to Canada for $13 and the tariffs was additional $65. The Canadian paid for it however it was my one and only sale there. So how is that fair for me? How is that fair to us?

if anyone knows,... He should know what a dictator is... 9 years of showing us.,... was he addressing the American citizens...or was he talking to Canadians about himself ? #ASSCLOWN

Talk to Canadians\nLiar

Yeah another 20% by next week to all ya Canadians for talking so loosely ?

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer
