How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

How about Canadians and Europeans do trade? For next 4 years let Trump trade with Himself.

Don't tell lie to people border was not safe look at the historic number in 2021, 2022, 2023 where people crossed border illegally from Canada that's only because of you Trudiot. you opened door for mass immigration like student, visitor and work permit. so, some people used those visas to enter Canada and crossed US border. I am Canadian and moved to US for work only because of this guy Trudeau who devalued Loonie in 10 years. Only Canadian lived better in Harper Era. You destroyed everything.

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

It’s nice to see Trudeau talking like he has a pair. He spent the last 9 years destroying the Canada so let’s not act like all our problems today are Trumps fault. Too little too late my friend. You should’ve woken up earlier but it took Trump for Canadian politicians to realize oh wait maybe we shouldn’t have all our eggs in one basket ? - from a Canadian

how can one man. destroy the world including his own country. he just became president. in 4 years half of civilization will be in the stone age. again! stay strong Canada. we stand with you. the dutch!

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....

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

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.

Damn ive never seen a leader so scared. Cant wait to see what happens to Canada's economy a year from now.

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

The anti-americanism has been happening for years inside our country by the left and the fake news. I thought celebrities were leaving. Ellen left only to return 2 weeks later. You are part of the problem. Get it together people. You got people burning tesla car chargers and vandalizing random teslas owned by innocent people smh

BS. He could’ve done better last years. Trump is just blocking the side way where china using to avoid paying tariff. Canada and Mexico should’ve done better job on blocking those shipments

These are the tariffs Canada has imposed on the USA for years: \n \nMilk: 270% \nCheese: 245% \nButter: 298% \nChicken: 238% \nSausages: 69.9% \nBarley seed: 57-57.8% \nCopper: 48% \nAluminum: 45% \nSteel: 25% \nCars: 45% \nTVs: 45% \nEggs: 163% \nWheat: 94% \nBovine/Meat: 26.5%

As an American I just want to point out that not all Americans are at fault for this. MAGAts are to blame, and we're looking to deport them in 4 years time, so it's good that Canada is investing in their border controls.

He is such a tyrant and a Bully he is destroying USA and he is not bothered as he is in charge of USA for his 4 years in the white house its his own interest look at the respect the USA has got around the world\n\n\nKnown as the genocide evil USA

As a German, I can only say, great country. My son studied in Canada for a year. He was given such a warm welcome. Thank you. The import taxes are nonsense. Trump is using a manner that will have a long-lasting effect. I hope for the USA that in four years there will still be free elections and an opposition.

Who will be paying tariffs? Trudeau? No. It’s us Canadian. For years this govt did nothing much to attract new business or grow economy.

I have been warning people for 10 years ago about Donald Trump I've been warning people about 8 years for Elon Musk and all the Billionaires here in America prepare yourself this day is coming and everybody laughed in my face so I have been preparing this whole damn time and this is also every news outlets problem too because you guys been sugarcoating Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the rest of the Billionaire...\n#NATIONINDISTRESS

This is the best Trudeau's speech of the last 10 years!! Wow! Inspiring!!!

Yeah good luck talking to tha Donald. Is like talking to a undisciplined 5 year old.

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

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

Ya”ll should’ve actually do something with the surplus of money you get every year from American citizens. While we over here can’t truly afford anything, every other country is getting richer, well it stops now.

I am fu*ing disgusted. I'm 58 years old, and I grew up in a country where Canada seemed like the little brother from the north. Russia (USSR) was and still is an advisory. I am confused. No other president has ever done anything like this, and apparently for no reason but to be nefarious. Please impeach this psycho path before he ruins the country beyond repair. ????

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

you do not stand for any Canadian you lie through your teeth you have not stood for Canada in 9 years

Canada has been ripping United States for many years. And Trudeau is a crooked politician

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA - didn't we tell you it was true .... so unfortunate that this wasn't dealt with via impeachment years ago !

And I watched CNN again after 25 years.\n???

How come still nobody knows what Putin has on Trump? What was this secretive meeting in Helsinki years ago about? What was discussed there? Trump being Trump, who lies and who is weak of charactre and as bribeable and corrupt as they come. Can't put a normal sentence together. Picture that big toddler in a room with Putin and Putin alone.. Nobody knows what was discussed there. Now they have a president picking fights with his allies. He is fumbling at the very basis which NATO, Europe and US stands for, stood for.\nAt this point Trump basically is putting USA into isolation. Putin and Xi couldn't be more happy.

Where the hell was this guy for the last 9 years? Now he finally gives his balls a tug.

If this is allowed to continue.. USA will look like Russia in a few years!\nNo doubt in my mind.\nThis is exactly what a DICTATOR would do! Make himself and his friends so rich and powerful, control the media, so no one can challenge you.. And in a few years time, there will be a incredible difference between rich and poor in America.. Just like Russia.. Like night and day! Those who are rich, are very rich, those in the middle class, will have less and less.. This is going to be a reality guys.. I'm sorry..

Trump's America has sided with Putin. Can the rest of us secede now? We don't have four years. They will come for our weapons this year.

Pay attention to these fake leaders. Try to play tough!! 4 years American was suffering, and they haven't done anything but to support what was ruined the American. Now, a real man in the office doesn't fall to this same bs from sleep joe, even the Canadian was suffering. No voice was heard. And now this????

Hey folks, don’t come visit Canada this year. It’s not gonna be a good year.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Happy to see this from our prime minister, however as an voter i cannot ignore the last 8 years. Trumps 25% tariffs are stupid, hes right. But were paying more in carbon tax on everyday things comparatively.

4 more years Canada, We will learn from the mistakes trump has made. I pray we keep all the working men, women and their families safe from extreme inflation and help them in every way possible. As a non government citizen of Canada. I can confirm that we are doing this as a last resort. Trump is destroying your country.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

Lots of Vets bashing Trump. I was Infantry for 27 years and most recent Vets were raised in a DEI/Woke environment and on a good day, about 10% of Vets actually fight while the rest are in the 28th Mess Kit repair detachment, never been in danger and the first to whine that they have PTSD. The real soldiers almost unilitaterly support Trump because we are the ones who do the job. And Trudeau is a pretty boy left wing little Phag.

For all of you supporting Zelenskyy, the man cannot even account for $100 billions -- yes, billions with a B -- given to his country, and his stupidity plays right into the hands of starting WWIII, if we're not in it already. Ukraine is just another source of money laundering, and here we are just willing to give more and more money without any result, except for dead bodies. There is nothing wrong for wanting peace. You can't negotiate with only one side. And for Canada, Canada has been charging us high tariffs for years, but no one has pointed out that unfairness.

My father was 24 year Navy. I'm glad he passed because this would kill him. He didn't like Trump in the 80s. America doesn't want this!!!We stand with Ukraine,Canada and Mexico.

Maybe we shouldnt spend BILLIONS of dollars for protection and dont get anything back. Is that fair? Trump and MAGA are fed up spending SOO Much money that has little or no benefit to us yes it will hurt for now, but we already spent 4 years in hell whats anouther1-2 years.

You Canadians sure picked a winner!!\nAll of a sudden he is doing something why did it take years to do anything \nHe is a has been and will be remembered as a fascist communist

I notice none of you are looking at the tariffs that Canada has placed on the US for years. Surface thinkers, I have no respect for you.

As a German I believe that the European Union needs to apply his significant power to encounter this madness . Europe should welcome Canada into the Union. Together we are stronger and will successfully counter those tariffs. Let’s start by turning off all those social platforms from the states which are doing more bad than good for years!

As a 20 year veteran i am embarrassed of my president and the republican whom are afraid to support the citizens of the United States over Russia

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Trudeau is gone in few days! Liberals are the cancer in Canada for the past 10 years.
