This entire administration Trump, Vance, Elon and all the unqualified cabinet member on his team need to be REMOVED from office\nI grew up in Detroit and went to Canada 1-2 times a week growing up, it is a great country with very good people. That have always had our backs no matter what. Trump is destroying our country.

Trump is now in bed with Russia and Canadians will never lower themselves to that level, we know there are some great people in the United States please get your house in order, and return to the good side on the world stage.

Hello from Germany We have very good political programs on television here. “Markus Lanz” is currently running. I believe that German citizens are much better informed about the domestic political situation than American citizens. And what is happening in America should be deeply concerning to the American people. In our assessment, the American administration under Trump, Vance and Musk is transforming the USA into an authoritarian state run by American oligarchs in which there is no democracy, freedom of speech or freedom of expression, information controlled by the state, fake news, etc. America is in great danger domestically.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

WEF Puppet and tin pot dictator. I hope his people remember what he did to the truckers. \n\nTrump is putting his country first just like our wet behind the ears prime minister Two-Tier-Kier should be doing instead of spaffing our tax money up the wall. All of you who sat in London are a disgrace. You think you can wage war with Russia risk putting us into world war 3 and win, but I suggest, no longer are your screws just loose, but they have fallen out completely. The lunatics truly have taken over the asylum as they deliberately seek the great reset regardless of the cost of millions of lives. ?

This is how America become Great Again? or the start of American Destruction? Trump or Trap? Im from the ??many here regrets for voting Duterte im sure you too….Peace People❤❤❤

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Minnesotan here. I apologize for our president. He’s a total disgrace. I have many Canadian friends, and they’re great people. Just so ashamed our our president right now….

This is not what the people of America want! We want a great relationship with Canada! ?

If this the part of the plan to make America great again, then this is one dumb plan made by dumb people.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

What a difference it is to watch and listen to Justin Trudeau….he is a real politician….a well informed person….against the craziness of Trump…..what disgrace fell upon a great wonderful country the USA is….with solid people but a not solid govermrnt…..who in Its right mind voted for Trump…? Disgraceful….

American from New Mexico .... you are so very reasonable,,,, most Americans don't want this and we understand that you have to take the position you have taken ... many of us are already sick and tired of the bully and his chum in the White House ... stay strong and do what you have to for your people ... great respect for you ... J'ai plusieurs cousins dans Quebec et je sais que ceci n'est pas bon pour eux aussi .... nous ne sommes pas vos enemis ... ils habite la Maison Blanche ...Courage it bonne chance

Can't Americans impeach Trump as not fit to lead? Because a lot of his decisions lately is not making making America great again. He destroying it from the inside and not supporting Ukraine for their freedom, making Ukraine great again and for their independence as country. Makes the decision very un-American. Don't get me wrong, I like the American people, but Donald Trump has got to go...?

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

The Donald's least concern is his people, his poor people, because his millionaire friends Bezos, Musk, and company are going to get richer, a lot richer, with all these moves. Like Napoleon Bonaparte and Hitler, Trump sees himself as the great conqueror of the world, the chosen one, the incarnation of Jesus on Earth, and his followers believe he is. The poor devils, as ignorant as Trump himself.

Is a great speach but we all know what this country support. Criminal behavior child s trafficing and so on. Trump clearly stated he will take down the cartels and everyone who work with them. \nIf people knew what happens Behind closed doors people would not support it. And we also know this was plqnned long ago so the world war 3 will begin. \nMabye they pretend to be against eachother so people will be fooled once again.

wow great speech. Addressing American people, Donald, and Canadians. We are embarrassed what trump has done to our allies. Glad Canada is standing up to trump. This is not about the drug fight. This is about cutting taxes for the rich and now he has to make up for the deficits. A lot of people lost their jobs in the government and now tariffs. Trump and Vance need to be removed. Canada, Europe, NATO, UN, CIA please please do something, you are our last hope

Unfortunately Trudeau has decided to step down. Had he shown our people this side of him years ago I’m sure he’d be seen in a different light and would never have made the decision to step down as PM. Great work PM Trudeau ??

Canada you are a great democratic country with a vibrant culture with a great economy, you do not deserve to be treated the way you are by the dictator Trump & his Republicans, that is what disrespect is…Trump needs to apologise to Canada & it’s people. The USA is now becoming a world menace, I hope all the nations of the world take notice of Trump’s arrogance & egoism which will start new conflicts & wars soon.\nGood luck to my Canadian friends, with lots of love & respect from Türkiye. ❣️?????❣️

People of goodwill around the world support the strong president and great peacemaker Donald J. Trump ??! This person has a great will to establish peace and goodness! A person and president who deserves the greatest award in the history of humanity! Right now, it is only the first steps, but very soon everyone will realize this! \nGod's blessing!

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

Great speech. 100% support from Europe. I hope our EU leaders get in touch quickly on how we can help Canada. They have only 40 million people and get bullied by a country 10 times as large. Unbelievably unfair. I hope the US customers will pay dearly for this unfair attack.

Canadian here who 100 percent supported trump going to office making America great again but I never thought he would try to come at us Canadians like this. This doesn't only effect us but also the good patriot god loving people of the United States. I pray that God puts an end to all this and let's continue to work together for our people in NORTH AMERICA IN JESUS NAME AMEN

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

Wall Street is wrong. Trump is NOT smart.\n\nThis is what a real world leader looks like, what a REAL man looks like.\n\nTrump is putting the screws to the American people. He’s grab America by the pussy.\n\nIt’s disgusting. Turning us into an “AntiAmerca”does NOT make America great

People dont like what trump is doing but things would be worse if it was kamala. We should be great full and were not

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

As a collective and to take a lead from a dignified president that this is how he should be confronted with his insanity and intimidation\nIf enough leaders take a firm stand, point out the facts, and expose him for his tsunami of outright lies, he will crumble, bullies and weak people who hide behind a facade of toughness always do \nWell done, sir, a great, balanced, and well delivered speech and a breath of fresh air to hear coherence and intelligence

Donald Trump is a great leader, he's trying to secure American taxes, Canada a part of NATO ,and NATO is a terrorist organization ,NATO has attacked over 20 countries around the world's and killed millions of million people with American taxes.

Even with every ridiculous thing Trump has claimed or done and despite his love for Pukin and Russia, there are relatively 'normal' people in the u.s. who think he's sane and doing great, one reason I've heard being 'There's less Mexicans around'. I ask again, can anyone in the u.s. aim straight? If so, your failing country needs you.

Great speech. However Fentanyl must not “be wiped from the face of the Earth”. This opioid is needed to control pain in the dying and patients living with severe chronic pain. Stop the illicit market. Do not deprive people who depend on this effective analgesic.

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

The current government only cares about their personal bank accounts; they want to destroy true Americans. Trump is not a true American; he is Putin's pet and will follow everything Putin wants. The people who follow Trump are his criminal gang, to fulfill Trump's dream that he is some great gangster. He is not a gangster, he's a con man, lying piece of crap. True Americans are disgusted at the very thought of him; we can't stand to see his face, hear his voice, or hear his name. The American government is destroyed because Trump is in the White House because the stupid people elected him.

Great speech by Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada to the Canadian and American people.

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

You are so right, Russia is loving this, even sending them fake news, Hames is laughing and thinks its great, go Canadian people

What Putin has asked Donald Trump to do is to break away from my allies so he can become a dictator! If the people of the United States do not stand up, we are going to end up in World War iii, we are going to end up poor, hungry, and barely hanging on for our lives because Donald Trump is selling us out 2 our enemy is there any ignorant ass person that still standing behind Donald Trump and think he's a great guy, you need to go and fuc yourself! I am pissed off and frightened at the same time one a little bit more than others at time because the United States has been taken over by a Madman that is so hungry to be a dictator like Putin and he actually think is going to happen and he would do everything to make it happen! Donald Trump has been tested in the waters to become a dictator!

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

The biggest Sally. We don't want you on our TIT anymore. Your own people can't stand you. We are busy making Ameruca great again what are you doing for Canada? Are you paying your bills Justin?

Today, I heard a true North American leader who very aptly described the situation leading up to these silly tariffs, the actions his country took to avoid the tariffs. P.M. Trudeau openly spoke of the changes that the wannabe Orange Julius threatened and why the U.S. wasn't being realistic. \n\nI know some people criticized the Prime Minister recently, but you have a great politician who is actually defending his country!!! Unite behind him and kick MAGA's arse!

Yep, let all of the world countries be great again, except US. This is what America people desire.

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

We all must suffer for the “great orange man “ - what a joke, people are already struggling everyday!

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

Mr Trudeau you are a great leader and unfortunately our country is totally F@$%@D because of one me who is a total Idiot and is destroying the country and I agree with you ?% that Putin is a lying corrupt thug Dictator who needs to be Stopped at all cost and I also believe he has to have sumthing hanging over Trump's head i honestly can't believe he is thst stupid anyways i hope you have woken up the American people and our senate and congress they need to impeach Trump ASAP and have his side kick JD Vance resign before they cuase even more damage you are a true gentleman who Mr Trump should learn a thing or 2 from God bless our Country ?

Great speech. Try to remember, the President does not appear to play well with others. His ridiculous tariffs and annexation fantasies are absurd. I think the American people will push back against these policies.

Trump is a moron. He's hurting the USA people not helping. He's not making America Great, he's making America suffer.
