Hope he doesn't back down or get scared of trump

Canadian here and i was just hoping he wasn't gonna just roll over to Trump and I'm so glad he didn't nor do I understand him claiming we're the ones bringing the fent. I knew that was bulls**t. I'm actually FINALLY quite proud of an action out of this man FINALLY, cuz let's face it Trudeau, ya aint done much positive other than legalizing the weed. But I kinda believe in ya now for growing a set and actually standing up here.

Are we making America great again? As an American this is sickening, hope the imbeciles that voted for Trump are ashamed

Unfortunately Trump and Musk are forming an oligarchy and\ncouldn’t care less about American citizens. Just hope our allies can move in to help us when we get rid of this admin.

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

its been 2 months and i've already completely lost hope for my country. sorry canada, i hope trumps cholesterol catches up to him soon.

Where were all of you not supporting tariffs and a lunatic President???? Did Hispanics vote?? Did minorities vote??\n\nAll you Trump fans, hope you enjoy this New 1 sided democracy and paying more for less.

????? I hope Americans are listening to him. There is no reason for the trade war Trump started and how Americans will suffer financially. Trudeau is correct in this only helps our enemies.. Russia and other countries who want to see us fighting with each other. What Another sad day for America again. Not feeling great.

Absolutely fuck Trump, that fetid piece of dog feces. NOBODY WANTS THIS except those who gain to profit, I am certain that will not be the vast majority of Americans nor Canadians. You are hurting families and businesses that cannot withstand the state sponsored games. I hope to god people get out there and bring this silliness to an end. I cannot abide this, attack closest and most beloved allies. I cannot even...\n\nTo my friends and family In Canada and the US, stay strong, don't give in to the rhetoric.

Trudeau has got balls . I hope our Prime Minister Starmer , supports Canada . Trump is a total liar and is a danger to USA and the world .

Twice in a week Trump is humiliated by a world leader, Trump thinking he can be a president of a country like the ceo of a corporation. He blackmails people offering them scraps from the table of his last meal as if they should be thankful. How on gods earth did America vote this clown as it's leader. Putin has spent 3 years trying to get into Kiev and in a few weeks has managed to get into the Oval office of the Whitehouse. I sit here in the UK watching what is going on in America like many around the world cringing and at the same time laughing at how such a scumbag could achieve what he has done. Trump and his arse licking lapdog are making a laughing stock of the US and you seem helpless to stop the shitshow that is coming your way. I feel for you and hope his stupidity will lead to a very quick exit for the now most famous clown in the world.

I hope trump will drop his ego a bit and make it right.

I am an American and love my country and its people. But TRUMP and Musk and Vance are villains ?! They must be defeated. And they will be stopped. We need to stick close to our neighbors and our friends in the world. Putin is not a friend. I hope our Canadian brothers know we real Americans want cooperation and friendship, not a trade war.

Love the clear speech laying out the facts in a coherent way. Thank you Trudeau.. I hope this reaches the ears of the Trump supporters and finally sinks in

So sorry Canada I was born there in Quebec Canada and have lived here since childhood in the US you are our neighbors and I can’t believe this is happening and my hopes are that this will all be settled. We didn’t vote for Trump so please believe as Americans that we don’t agree with this that we are not all as Americans are on board with this

I hope Canadians know that only 77 million people voted for Trump in a country of 335 million people!! That means 76% of us DO NOT support his madness!! Apologies to Canada & ALL of our allies!! Trump is a RUSSIAN asset & asshat!!!! We have been infiltrated.

If our military insiders know that Trump is compromised by Putin, why are they not doing their duty to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic? Are they waiting for Trump to do so much damage that his approval rating reaches a specific low before acting, or are they useless to protect us? I hope it's not the latter, considering how much tax payer money has gone into the US military over the deades. Talk about waste and abuse.

I voted blue and moved from a red state over to a blue state because I don't agree with conservative republican views. I especially didn't want Trump back in office because I thought he was horrible the first time. My heart sunk after the election because I saw this coming. I'm hoping for some sort of impeachment because dealing with Trump for 4 more years seems unfathomable.

I hope Mr Trudeau stays on a little while longer. At least long enough to keep kicking trump in the ass.

I hope Trump's gameplan isn't weakening Canada to aid an invasion.\n\nI think, for now, Trudeau needs to stay

I don't blame America at all. I personally love America. This is a donald trump thing. I hope he wakes up and smells the roses before it's too lats.

Trudeau has a big mouth and soon Trump is going to close it i hope Trump takes over Canada and puts Trudeau in prison or what ever he sees fit for Trudeau

I just hope president Trump is able to put tariff like penalty on American companies that are outsourcing jobs and leaving American job less. Take a good look at ANY companies career page, and has a software job requirement. 90% of ALL tech jobs are being outsourced to India, it's just getting ridiculous!

As an American, there is nothing I want to see more than countries like Canada who hold their ground and do not allow Donald trump and his government bully them. Hopefully this will end soon and the damage can be minimized

I am hoping that Trump would resign from the presidency in less than 6 months! He is doing great damage to our country right now!

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

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!

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

I hope Trump raises the tariffs to 100% and watch Canadians economy fail because they rely mainly on American

I am an American standing with Ukraine and Canada if anyone can stop this War it will be Canada and Ukraine and many other Countries standing up for Ukraine we have alot of bullies in our Country the USA especially Trump and I hope it all comes back and bites him in the ass and he goes down real hard he is a number 1 Moran

Good job Justin. I hope every one follow him to impreach Trump

California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

American here,in full support of President Trump. Someone needs to be the bad guy and fix the globalist corruption. I personally never listen to or watch CNN. Canada is in a economic and cultural downfall for a reason. I have never supported Castros Bastard son, Trudeau. I love real Canadians and believe Canada would be much better as a US Territory/ State and hope they get rid of this weak little boy.

HAHAHAHAHA\nwhat a complete moron. complete, fuggin, idiot. i can at least thank trump for the long overdue stock market correction and hopefully interest level maintainance? although its by accident ill take what i can get from these tards.

The USA is officially the stupidest country on record. Donald Trump is dumber than d***hit. All his cabinet picks are crazier than he is and half are just criminals. Trump and Musk are criminals. Pam Bionde dropoed charges against Trump for a measly $5000.00 campaign donation. Little Marco Rubio only agrees with any stupid thing Leon Musk wants. I hope your men have mastered your new German tanks PM Trudeau. I am against any war Drumpf could think of. We need to go to Ukraine and talk to Putin tank to tank. Putin is a tiresome little man. Why do you think Trump fears him so much? Find the answer to that question. Thanks PM Trudeau. No thanks to any GOP pig in the USA.

I hope that Americans will fight for our country, the U.S. We are losing our democracy at a rapid rate, thanks to Trump and Project 2025.

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 Republicans have betrayed more than our old friends and allies with this astonishing attack on Canada, coming on the heels of Trump's performative assault on Ukrainian sovereignty. They've betrayed our constitutional republic, common sense, simple human decency, our core institutions, our people. The best of what we have ever been or hoped to be as a nation has been jettisoned to privilege the worst, including the South African billionaire who is currently dismantling Social Security, and the Russian tyrant who has hungered for years to kill NATO and the Western alliance, an outcome the Republicans are now handing him on a silver platter.

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

I have no problem with a tariff to China or Mexico, neither is an ally.\nEspecially corrupt Mexico run by cartels .\nGenerally I back Trump - BUT Canada is a special neighbor/partner.\nThis is not good.\nI hope Trump reconsiders.

From Washington state, I applaud your strong stand against Trump and his administration who do NOT represent a large portion of the United States, including me!! l love Canada and hope you remain strong in your stance against Trump!!!

Pretty sure I saw a video somewhere on youtube where Trump or Elon stated they wanted to crash the market (this was prior to the election). We're headed in that direction. Hope people have been going to cash and taking profits.

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!

I hope they know not all of us on the USA is backing Trump!!!

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

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 ?

I hope here in Australia our leaders take a cue from Trudeau and don't start kowtowing to Trump. Hopefully Trudeau has the effect of emboldening other nations' leaders in their dealings with Trump and his cronies.

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.
