This is the chance for Canada to asume the leader of the free world

We have to realise Trump has aligned itself to Russia,therefore America is the enemy of the free world.

Sock it to them Canada.let the free world boycott America until it gets itself a proper head of state

Our allies are finding out just like we did that this criminal is bought and paid by Putin. He’s not your friend Donald Trump is the enemy of the state and the free world.

Putin wants democracy to suffer and be weakened everywhere in the world. . his bootlicker in the presidency judges loyalty as a primary value, and knows full well how Russia helped him get elected the first time and then again. combine that with a love for dictators, and I fear America will never have another free and fair election.

Listening to Trudeau I am truly saddened that again USA has somehow elected a man who has systematically dismantling all of American's governments that oversee consumer rights and regulations while simultaneously fiscally attacking our neighbors, closest allies on all of our borders, meanwhile speaking publicly about a globally known dictator whose personal beliefs against democracy in his own country as well as the rest of the free world. I believe that a majority of Americans like myself are left shocked after this election and do not stand behind any of these unorganized, erratic government actions as we're looking at as a whole seem to be purposely creating a atmosphere of chaos and instability seemingly without responsibility there seems to be none in charge.

Shut up baby girl world need to be free from such tumors like you and i support president trump he know what he is doing Americans are very blessed people that they have got president like Donald trump and respective administration

I AM an American, and this NEEDS to happen. A true test of American democracy is happening! Sometimes, when things look the worst, especially with this American experiment, we get stronger and better. But in the meantime, it all looks like shit. Trump is a bad head cold, a virus that needs to be inoculated. The antibodies are coming (free loving countries of the world -the American people). Stay strong and stay united, and don't give up! We are ALL in this together!

Well done to Canadian president we free world is with you !!!..... trumps circus government must fall....his is Russian puppet

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

Instead of writing and reacting here, act in your country, take maga down, do your duty as an USA citizen. The damage Trump is inflicting to the free world, the hatred he is creating towards your country, will be devastating, it will end USA as a leading world power.

All this bluster about fentanyl, yet China is the main exporter of these precursor substances - well, they only have 20%. Awesome! The biggest risk now is that the trump administration divides and conquers - the free world needs to stand together against the US. Yes, it's strange to say, but that's the reality we live in. The earlier we wake up, the better.

Mr Trudeau, thank you for your excellent clear and concise speech. You hit all the points. Thanks for standing up for Canada and the Free World. Please remember our Ukrainian friends...

From Canada: Sorry but we did this to ourselves by not growing our economy as we could have done, by not expanding energy and trade, by being led by a non-leader who panders only to the east and disrespects the west, who spends money like it’s on fire. Trudeau could learn so much from Sen Robert Kennedy about spending money that isn’t his to spend… If eastern Canada would respect the wealth we have in the country, in the ground, we would not be in this position. Canada could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and Canadians could have a very high standard of living. Instead we are stagnant and woke, dying from terrible drug policies and woke law, and bursting with a terrible “look at me, look at how good I am” immigration policy. We have no investment or tourism in BC, no foreign buyers, almost no airbnb, no fruit, soon to be no wine, but at least we have free drugs and 2000 genders, right Provincial NPD? That will help the bank account. And we have no respect for Alberta’s riches that benefit EVERYONE. All the power is centralized in Quebec, with the Bloc not even a federal GD party but somehow allowed to be a federal party, and Ontario and Atlantic Canada just loving a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority, and don’t forget transfer payments. And we have got ourselves into this Liberal government purgatory (thank God the Federal NPD have been decimated over it…at least there is some justice), so that we write cheques to make us feel good and look good despite that we can’t afford it. And we prevent growth and trade to make ourselves feel good and look good even though we can’t afford it. And here we are now, broke a** with no prospects and no savings. Well done Canada and well done Capitano Trudeau.

welcome to European life pay tax for everything, in EU we pay 20-30% of VAT and up 50% of our salary go to gov.. so yeah we poor in EU as we pay up to 70%-80% in taxes (depends on EU country) but basically yeah happy life.. basically we pay for healtcare and universities , so that 3rd world people could get free education .. I hope someone like trump will take wheel of EU.. there is no place for liberalism in future..

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

I'm an American who stands for the democratic free world that my father and grandfather fought for. I do not wish to alienate our allies and neighbors. This administration is insane and I keep praying for it to end. We must stay strong.

Go Canada! Sweden will give you 2, no 3! free shots in the next hockey game ;-) Stand your ground, together we'll build a new and better world.

It's really obvious that /trump is on bed with Putin. They have some back door deal going on for personal enrichment and art of that deal is for /trump to destabilize the free world and it might even be necessary to do that to close their deal. Trump isa very sick individual. No sane person would do his.

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

A prime to trust - not the lier who can only invite the north korean dictator and the russian idiot, and the american public has applaude like slaves in the roman empire.\nFinally even the iranian dictators will arrive in washington cause no one of the free world wants to visit stupid donald anymore

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a collar and lead, definitely his yappy little Handbag dog..!!!

From Denmark: That speech is strong, Trudeau could be a good choice for a new leader of the Free world. ???

The free world has been hurting trump friends for the last 3 years, so now he is in office he's gonna hurt the free world.

Canada l stand with you and that rest of the Democratic world. Unfortunately we have an idiot in chief who doesn't have a blanking clue on how to run a botega yet alone in the United States of America.\nTo yours truly the felon in chief your days are numbered the American people will make it a priority to remove you from the white house along with the Maga bootlickers that support your blank toosh . Trudeau Mad Respect to you a true leader in chief of the free world.

Canada ?? the new free world heroes

Republican party is destroying the USA and the free world.\nRemember: Trump does not write executive orders: he signs them.

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

Mr. Trudeau, this is how a true leader of the free world would speak. I'm deeply impressed.

America, you are an utter disgrace in the eyes of the free world.

Now THAT'S a real leader of the free world. No russian asset, here! Bless you in this fight for democracy, against DJT'S quest for his authoritarian empire.

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

I am so ashamed as an American and as a human being. I am so very sorry for all of this BS. And Americans are all going to be sorry because of what’s happening in Washington right now. We are all going to suffer. Canada, please keep doing everything you can to work with the UK and the EU and all allies to make the world work while the US sinks into a quagmire of squalor, no long the leader of the free world. ???

This is a heartfelt plead and out of consern for our American freinds, please don't let this tryrant ruin you lives!\n\nAmerica is no longer the Leader of the Free World - Felon Trump First = Make America Gross Again!

The Americans have made it clear, they are not to be trusted, and will always be the enemy of the free world. We in Canada should close our border to all American travel

As an American, I am ashamed that my country somehow chose to re-elect this ghoul and his circus train of hangers-on. God bless you. I wish you and the rest of the free world the best. Just know that the many (likely the majority) of us down here now oppose and revile him as well.

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

the free world stands with canada, fuck america.

Canada the EU more European countries is with you! Together we must fight for the free world.

Trump can’t make poo-tin ??do anything so he turns on a soft target Ukraine ,Canada and Mexico are smoke and mirrors to make Europe tow the line ,Russia is paying for all that Trump does ,poo-tin wants the Baltic states if he is allowed to win in Ukraine he will have a ready made army to fight the rest of Europe curtsey of Donald Trump and the evil behind him Vance and Musk just remember if Trump dies in office who becomes leader of the so called free world .

A Scot here. Canada is our great friend. I am sure that all reasonable people around the free world support Canada in this insane trade war. Trump is Putin and Putin is trump.

Classy and intelligent response, Canada! As a European, I truly hope that the ties between Europe and Canada will only become stronger. Long live the free and democratic world!

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

The Americans got what they voted for! It's called Democracy! Just let the US go down the chosen path as dictated by PROJECT 2025 and let the Americans group up with DPRK, Russia and Iran. The rest of the free world, the civilized world move on with maintaining the the civilized maintenance of Democracy!

Prime Minister Trudeau is far, far, far above the likes of Donald Trump. As an American citizen I apologize to the rest of the free world for our political and moral failures. Please be patient with us as we work to excise this political cancer from our culture. It may be a long haul but I keep my hopes high.

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a lead, definitely his bitch..!!! \nSupport here from your Commonwealth brothers and sisters in the UK

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

Respect to Canada. Europe and the free world stands with you. A new world order will emerge.

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.
