The US of A put a malignant narcissist, racist rapist, convicted felon, gameshow host back into the White House. I mean, what could go wrong?

We have a president who cares abour the economic state of our country and the morale of its blue collar worker. Our country has been ripped off by people abroad and internally. This is pressure on all governments we do business with for equal trade. We are forcing countries to become more self reliant. Each country needs to become the greatest version of itself unfettered by people dictating laws that enrich themselves at the behest of its citizens. We elected trump to tear down the old, fix the waste, weed out the greedy players taht dish out our money and get kickbacks. Thats all. America is about to become super self reliant and bring back an early 1900s boom. We can no longer be the piggy bank of the world.

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

First, We as Canadians do truly care for the Americans who didn't Vote for Trump. But it's time we shut off the power and see what baby ?Trump will do..Time for him to back the Fuck up Canada has had it with your Dumb Ass

Canada has two modes , I'm sorry. and your about to be sorry Donald love to the American people Take back your country protest loud come together show the world what democracy is

No one respects this guy…. Once the new elections happen everything will fall back into place

What does he mean we won't back down from a fight? We fully rely on the USA for our defense.

You're too late, Trudeau. You should have responded back in November. When Trump mentioned it, but you decided to go hiding.\nNow it's your fault.Nobody else to blame but you\nAs a canadian, I am totally disgusted with your response to this!!

I wish Kamala Harris & Tim Walz would have won the election. I keep thinking about the remarks from trump about secrets with elon & mike johnson. I personally think they cheated. I will always stand with Canada, The UK, Ukraine & every other European country. F trump, he belongs in prison. The only people who still back trump are the rich, the corporations. I will not buy any new phones, appliances & cut back as much as possible on food.

A brilliant speech. Honest and forthright. But lets get to the nitty gritty. It's about time the rest of the world realized that life does not revolve around the USA. There is NATO and even though political views differ there is a union to assist each other. America is on the path to a Dictatorship. Trump has the means and the backing to do it. If he gets his third term this will become a reality and there appears no one is prepared to stand in his way.

Trump is obviously helping Russia with imposing tariffs on these countries, it's another way of helping his buddy Putin to get back on board with his failing economy.

Thank you Canada for rational words and forceful push back on this horrible administration. Keep it coming. From a Sad American

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

I don't understand why the land of the free America has launched a trade war on its allies whilst sucking up to a murdering gangster in the Kremlin - I applaud Trudeau on his powerful speech against the malignant orange blob in the Oval Office - We in Europe back Canada against a MAGA fascist regime - We will boycott US business in solidarity with Canada - The EU & the UK will support you - The land of the free is not the USA.

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

about drugs and illegal immigrants are clean, i am trust treadeu and i know he have matter house prices in his country. But he must be explained the subsidies that Trump said Canada received in very clean, its true or not. If true why canada not invest back to USA make fair economic as purpose make a trade balance both two country. In fact many factory moved from the usa to canada and USA trade deficit with Canada. SO dumb

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

Can we give a shout out to our Canadian hype man in the back of Trudeau nodding in agreement. Apologies, as I dont know his title, but he knows his PM is cooking. Appreciate this professional speech.

Dallas, Texas here. Talk yo shit Canada!! Let them know you're not backing down

I always know the day would come when the fascade of decency the US has put up for centuries would be stripped away and they would be exposed for what they really are. A criminal, gen o cidal, greedy, back stabbing and immoral nation of European colonizers who do not belong to the Americas.?

Boycott America make up money selling Canada exports even China Trump ? trump will back down

I think the king is trying to hurt America to get back at the Democrats

Donald Duck… . All allies should stop backing the US dollar. Donald can back the Rubble instead

This man announced his resignation in almost 2 months ago, then prorogued parliament, then backed the other WEF globalist dude immediately available even though never once elected to public office, and is now speaking on behalf of a country he has never really supported at all.\nHe reads a good speech, that was written by a speech writer, but his past decade of actions haven't been pro Canadian.\nCanada will be fine. With or without Trudeau, Trump or any other narcissistic politician that loves the sound of their own voice.

Flump knows that Trudeau & Euro leaders laughed at Flump's arrogance and laziness, behind his back, in the first Flump admin. Example: at a Euro conference Flump did not arrive on time. His handlers lied and said he had been there, although all persons present saw the empty chair and no Flump. Must save face.

Americans, you voted for this idiot. Now, you will see and feel the consequences for your uneducated votes. We Canadians will never back down from a fight. We all stand united.

I truly believe that most of us in the U.S. back Canada, not that lying scumbag that gullible idiots (and our ridiculous Electoral college, a system that allows the minority to rule) put into office.

Go Justin Go! Go Canada Go! So good and true speech! Wake up USA. You need to take back your country before its totally destroyed!!!

You Shouldn't back down. Stand up for what is right. We Know trump LIES. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a LIE. He has his own agenda.

THIS IS A PERSON I WILL VOTE FOR YOU GOT OUR BACK WE HAVE YOURS. CANADIAN FOR LIFE

You voted for the biggest idiot ever.... we will look back in 10 or 20 years and can not explain what this idiot has destroied....

Trump uses drugs as the reason we all know that is not true. Trump has to be the feared leader, as he cosy up to Putin. Trump likes isolation he wants America to be Russia allied We the people will survive but know that gaining our trust back will not be easy but we are up for the fight. We will not get in bed with a country that is siding with Putin

And a American. I'm with Canada. There's no going back once the goods are up in price. ?

You did this justin. And dont speak for canadians because you are sooooo out of touch with the middle-class working Canadians. \nIf we paid what we promised we would pay NATO way back, this would not have happened. But if a canadian owes the government you garnish without care. But if the government owes money, it just dont pay it. Why?? Tell me why. \nAnd btw, its not you Trump will negotiate or Ford. You dont represent fellow Canadians. Step down, the faster the better. \nAnd it do not surprise me CNN is following this. Fake news bunch.

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

I'm a Canadian who gave our sandwiches to American's that got stuck here on 911. I love America. I hope we can get back to being there for each other.

Can we just spend the night at your house until our real parents come back? ~ USA

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

Let's get this back on track. We need our friends!!!

As an US resident, I am in no way in agreement with our government…..I hate the fact that our closest neighbors for centuries hate us. I am depressed every single day since Trump entered the White House the first time. Our former and greatest president allowed me a reprieve but now I am thinking about moving from this country due to my extreme depression. Our family helped build this country as we were here before the revolutionary war. I was expecting a nice retirement and Trump and his cronies are making that impossible by possibly stealing our social security that I was told was I would get back for the last 50 yrs. I certainly understand why other countries do not like us…….I do not even talk to my family anymore as I voted for the prosecutor and they voted for the felon.

let us - as Canadian be more united . We'll fight back as Canadian.

As a Canadian, and not a Trudeau voter, I am very impressed with our prime minister the last few months. \nWe will not back down. And we will NEVER be American

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

He’s getting money back from having to subsidize Canadians for 200 billion a year.

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

The Liberal Party of Canada turning its back on Britain, our ancestral homeland, in favour of the USA just because of geographic proximity was the singularly dumbest decision Canada ever experienced.\n\nCut ties to the USA and restore what we had with the Commonwealth, and develop our relationship with Europe. I am sick of Americans.

President Trudeau. You are awesome. Wish we had you to be ours in America. We dknt sng z dictator, like Trumpit!!!! He's a communist & dictator exactly like putin. ? God Bless you & your country. Dont back down & don't trust Trumpit on his word. He'll stab you in the back. Tou have good facts as some of our medis & democrats. Praying ? ? gor all of you. Be safe❤
