Unless the citizens of the world rise up against the United States, we will not be able to get out of our hellhole. We have an election in Nov 2026 when we will elect Congress members. With the world's help (not buying American products, visiting Canada and not U.S.) we will be able to elect members who will not support Donald.

I am Australian and happy to see Trump win the election but boy I didn't expect these dictatorial policies against the friendly world except against the criminal Putin. Wow!

I can't believe trump got re-elected.\n\nIt's down to Elon chap and his mate Phil

Bravo Justin/Liberals ! I so hope Americans learn from this and elect a smart man like Bernie, who's warned us about this stuff for years. We could have thriving economies again. Voting for the right candidate is simple folks... If they're stinking rich already, they're working for the man, not you! ?& ⭐

You guys in the US need to understand Vance is as dangerous as Trump. At the 2024 election almost 90 million eligible voters sat on their backsides at home instead of voting. As a Briit and on behalf of the planet, I implore those people to get out next time and vote this MAGA scum out of the WhiteHouse. It's not going to stop when Trump goes. Keep that mind people. PLEASE!

Because in the USA everything is for money. Dictator Putin has elected his rascal Trump for the 2nd time.

Trudeau is a liar. He has not done anything good for Canada. Now he wants to be a hero before elections? I thought he had resigned due to his incompetence. Everything he says is bs. A wolf in sheep clothing

Go Trudeau !!!! Go Canada!!! The American people made a HUGE mistake electing a wannabe dictator.

Lots of Americans on here saying they are embarassed or stand with Canada.. sorry but you're outvoted. The AMERICAN people VOTED in their MAJORITY for this. Trump said he would do it, got elected and he's done it. \n\nPeople like you commenting say you want democracy but it seems you only want it when you win.

STOP! The Canadiens are not our allies. We, here in the United States of America, ARE FREE PEOPLE! Canadiens are Socialists, you are not a free people. You have no way to self correct by free elections. Look at what TRUDEAU did to those truckers. No accountability! Look what they did to President Trump. WE THE PEOPLE SPOKE...and now retribution. Canada needs to adopt a similar system. Trudeau is a piece of shit!

It is so weird to be impressed by normal behaviour and conduct! The felon rapist occupying the White House sure has changed the world. Mind boggling how stupid the US citizens really are for electing him. USA should truly be renamed: Dumbfuckistan! (Worst of luck to you in the future siding with North Korea, Russia and Hungary.... you know -The shit hole countries).

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

He is right. No problem with the people but the elected sitting government Must fight back

Donnie still acts like a wannabe mobster. Absolutely not fit for the job but hey, he got elected by the MAGA idiots. This world has far bigger challenges ahead and doesn't need a Russian asset in the White House. Clear words from Trudeau but I'm certain Donnie doesn't comprehend the message.

Putin has so obviously told Trump to distance himself from all democratically elected countries and processes and rule like he does with an authoritarian regime. Have elections yes - but with results already arranged to win.\nTrump then does not need to listen to these democracies because he takes control and keeps it. Has nothing to do with drugs, or stockmarkets, it's to do with power and keeping it. We all know he lies, lies and lies - so never take his rhetoric as correct.

Trudeau...Mr. Dictator......call parliament back and call an election. You have destroyed our economy. You!!!

I was happy when Trump got elected. But he must seems deranged.

It's all about the Canadian election.

TRUMP IS KGB AGENT The The material “Trump is a KGB agent” is based on exclusive information received from a former high-ranking employee of the GRU of the USSR Ministry of Defense (Soviet intelligence). For the first time, shocking details of Donald Trump's years-long cooperation with the KGB and FSB are revealed. According to the insider, Russian intelligence services not only recruited him back in 1978, but also played a key role in winning the 2024 election. This data could be the basis for impeachment and even charges of treason. \n \nAleksandr Sotnik (born 1968) is an independent journalist, publicist, analyst and writer. Since 2012, he has covered protest actions across Russia, and was one of the few reporters who documented events in the midst of political crises. In 2014, he founded the independent channel Sotnik-TV, where he published interviews with leading opposition figures, including Boris Nemtsov, Garry Kasparov and others. \nAs an active participant in civil society, he took part in organizing the March Against Scoundrels (2013), the Peace March (2014) and other protest events. In 2018, due to threats of physical violence, he was forced to leave Russia with his family. First he lived in Lithuania, then moved to Slovakia, where he continues his activities as an independent journalist and publicist. \nIn 2023, the Russian authorities added him to the Rosfinmonitoring register as an “extremist and terrorist”, which was yet another example of political pressure on independent journalists. \nToday, Alexander Sotnik continues to work in exile and remains one of the most consistent independent political analysts and journalists exposing the Russian political system and its mechanisms of influen

We'd trade vance for Pence.\nVance would have overturned our election, the ruthless hypocrite.\nVera must be mortified.

Make no mistake, Trudeau Liberals have been detroying Canadian's way of life far more than Trump could do. He is a liar and wanna be dictator. We need Federal Election Now!

He sold out Canada , next American will have to stand up strong & brave or else he’s going to block all elections and tries to erase our democracy in order to stay in power.

How difficult it is to understand that this is not a speech by a PM to a president but a political rally speech to win the elections. If he really cared of Canada so much, why didn't he stop illegal immigrantion of know terrorist groups and its members - Khalistanis.

Guy prorouged parliament and steps down from party leadership. Why are you still running that mouthpiece of yours? Election NOW! Don't wanna hear another word from him. You destroyed our country! Not don! The rise in our cost of living under you far exceeds this little tiff with America. Don't let the wool be pulled over your eyes yet again people.

Have you guys noticed how all bots supporting Trump are now gone from the comments section in social media? If this had been published before the elections, there would have been thousands of comments filling up this section

Trump won the elections second time with a sweeping majority and you are a PM for few more days. This should show you your position.

Trudeau call and election you goof we are tired of your communist dictatorship.

Trudeau was right when he said it was dumb. The US tariffs are simply about bringing America to its knees and destroying America. That is why the country is being recklessly run. The idea is to destroy the American way of life and America. Have you seen a 3rd world country run. The fighting and the division in the 3rd world country? The events over the past weeks are not about efficiency. 1 worker doing 15 people's jobs. Who is running the government? Tariffs are one more thing to destroy America. US government federal workers all let go, paying government employees pennies on the dollars and lying to the American public about efficiency, farmers and textile workers that voted are stranded without jobs, social security being destroyed, programs being destroyed, Americans being lied to, Americans being taken advantage of due to poor knowledge and education, education being taken away and putting un-elected immigrants/foreigners to run/destroy America. Yes, the Tariffs are one more thing to put Americans in the street, turn off their electricity, take away their heating system, and make America into a poor 3rd world country. Trudeau and Canada are protecting its workers - federal and private and yes, all of Canada. Canada is United. Americans better find Unity like the Canadians are doing versus worrying about who voted Red or Blue.

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

american trustworthiness died with the last election. the people in the USA are free to elect the idiot they want and they'll reap the results.

Trump need to be stopped. This happens when one elects an idiot for president. The US citizens did not want this.

Don't say America say Donald J Trump and his followers. The elected him and the World got Trumped. I stand with our friends Canada, Ukraine and Mexico.

what this moron will never understand they need us more than we need them most of there products we don't need and we provide them with national security I guess what did they expect when they elected a drama teacher and a stupid one at that

This is all about the deals Putin and Trump made for him not to go to prison win the election and not lose all his money

The situation now in the European countries, US and other countries has changed in a blink of an eye with the victory of Trump in the last election. A wake up call to all of us , the direction our country takes depends on the leaders we will vote for in the coming election.

How ironic that the same people that shun US citizens for electing a greedy billionaire also refuse to let new homes be built because it would hurt their estate's value...

but convicted felon and criminal donald j trump was elected by americans who got fooled,scared and intimidated by his big mouth.

It's not at all surprising. Republicans only impose laws and policies that hurt their people, supporting only the rich and wealthy. Never the many. This will likely only hurt republicans attempting to get elected in this country moving forward. Unless they try to take our democracy away. In which case we will be forced to eat the rich to feed the poor.

Hello Canada from Denmark. I am sad to see the unfair way the US is treating your country, and I am sure it will soon come to Europe too. But it will also hurt the Americans, that is for sure. It is sad because many of us have always been pro-America. But it should not be like that anymore, and believe me it will get worse. The Americans have elected a mad man with no scruples to dictate their country and we must find others to do business with instead, because it is too dangerous that America has all that power

Remember all the discussions and debate about implementing tariffs on our closest trade partners and allies during the campaigning of the last election. I don’t either…. That must have been discussed on a private call with Putin. Makes no sense otherwise. This is terrible for US end the west overall.

He's a criminal! A fake! He has no business being at white house, especially elon! He was not elected!

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

and yet you called the unvaccinated racist...please dont pretend you stand for us, when all you have have for a decade plus is divide and tax the crap out of us...the election coming will show just how unfavourable your leadership is for the average canadian...you even have the audacity to shut down our parliament right now, because you need another vacation...sick.

??The devil has come to Steal and Destroy, thats who Americans have elected??

As an American, I'm waiting for the 2026 midterm elections. Looking forward to impeaching Trump after that. So sorry for the idiots that elected him though to be clear it was less than half of us.

Please Trudeau stay till the new elections, you are showing strength for us Canadians. I don't trust the rest of your party.

Trudeau is the problem! Instead of parouged parliament call an election! I am a Canadian and Trudeau has taxed the hell out of us and put Canada in a weakened position! Canadian s want Trudeau gone ASAP!

Justin Trudeau on his way to win the next election. He has found a serious cause to pursue.
