You people from XYZ are really like the EU hypocrites that all you got is words. As a Canadian, I hate Trudeau and everything his government has done to the country. I want a PM like Trump that is willing go against the entire system(deep state) and dig out all the dirt even though you're in the way of a lot of powerful people and organizations. Out of all the world leaders today, Trump is the only one with that kind of courage. Compare that to Trudeau—aside from his nice suits and polished public image, what has he actually done to improve the lives of Canadians? \nWe need a DOGE go into WHY WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH TAXES. When I was living in Vancouver, I (and many ppl) would just drive cross the border to get gas and groceries because it's just much cheaper once you're on US soil.... For years we cannot retain any talents because they would just migrate to the states because the pay is much higher with less taxes. I used to live in a bubble thinking that even though life is tough and it's harding to make a living here but at least it's more peaceful here than the States. That is not the case anymore and everything is getting worse in the past 10 years.

He quit so he doesn’t represent me and my country. I can’t wait till we no longer have to listen to him. Canada is a crippled government. It doesn’t have a government the people want. The USA president is attacking us when we aren’t functioning art full strength. That’s unfair tactics.

Yeah! Justin Yeah Canada! After “ our government “ get through taking us down, maybe we can be the next province???

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

Slightly less than half of us are completely horrified by our government. Don’t blame ya one bit Canada. Much respect and thanks for the friendship over the years. Hope somehow we can regain trust in the future. ??

Trump is not a politician, but a business man. US needs to reconfigure the rules on who can govern our country. I'm embarrassed to have Donald as our representative.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for being a world leader! I am ashamed of the current government in the US.

This will be the natural course of things going forward. Regardless of which political party is in power, you have Satan at the controls. Look at the corruption and social and economic disasters created by the previous government. Now you have someone in power who is going to go to extremes in the opposite direction. Why has it come to this? We are here because we regected God and made money and materialism our God that we worship and bow down to. A sick government is an indication of a sick society. The roots of Western culture is founded on Love and fear of God. That is grossly eroding away. Is there hope for a better future; a better life? Yes. Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross and rose again on the third day. For by the Grace of God who sent his only begotten son to shed his blood for you, your sins are forgiven if you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Only faith and righteous living will pull us back from the brink of destruction. ❤

I wish Trudeau was staying on as Prime Minister. Canada has a very intelligent and strong leader now. What we have in the US is absolutely abysmal. Americans are already suffering due to the idiocy and bullying tactics of the current government here..Donald.

Our government (United States) cares absolutely nothing about its people. Trump and his boot lickers care only about themselves. Thank you for being the voice of reason for us since we don't have a leader down here capable of respecting the people he supposedly serves.

Yall remember what they said in rick and Morty?! How do you topple a government?! By turning a 01 into a 00!! Smh!! I believe the powers that be, is trying to make way for another country to take the lime light from us!! And that thought is very very scary!!

I thought Canadians generally are not super-nationalistic like the Americans, and Trudeau is not exactly very popular too. But somehow the current US government external policy managed to change both of that. And if the course is not changed ASAP, it will take generations to recover the relationship.

Your own citizens are booting u out of office for catching you being a racist…you yourself said u were stepping down…SOUNDS like you need to mind your own buisness and quit speaking to us…we are aware of our Government…we VOTED for him and highly approve what decisions he makes!!!

Respect to Canada. So sorry what our (US) government is doing.

When the leader of another country is more concerned for us US citizens than our own government, we have a serious problem.

I wish our US government cared about us citizens the way Canada's government cares about theirs. ?

Trudea is doing the right thing and saying true words. The US government should be ashamed

Trump works for the Dictators and the rich. The US government doesnt care about their people at all. Yet they vote it all in. Makes me super sad, because the US citizens are so vulnerable and uncared for. Sure he will paint a different picture. Open your eyes, see what is happening, hear what is happening. Your Government is harming your Nation.

I am never a fan of our Prime Minister but today, he got my full respect and admiration. We all know it is not about Fentanyl or illegal immigrants crossing from Canada as little as they were. Donald Trump is just using these as excuse. He is cozying up with US' one of two prime adversaries - Russia and China - and whacking friends and allies, alienating the United States. Donald Trump probably is considering authoritarian rule over democracy. I can't wait for the day that his dumb action will whack him back. Sorry Americans, you are still our friends, but not your government.

Trudeau is a SNAKE. I don't trust him. Keep at it Mr. Trump. We are done being taken advantage of. Trudeau knows exactly that he is not protecting his borders and Fentanyl is leaking across into the US. Don't get me wrong. Canadiens are great people. But Trudeau is a snake. I can't wait for him to leave your government Canada.

We are in this boat because of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal/NDP government! We have no one to blame, but ourselves and our incompetent decisions. Can’t wait to be part of the US!

There it is which government can screw up their country. The fastest Trump has done more good Trudeau is making businesses not be able to continue working. Reduce how many the businesses work for us and increasing the price of everything

American Christians praying for our government. If God is with us WHO can be against?

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

As a US citizen I am so very sorry!! My family did not vote for this crazy man, our government is trying to destroy our nation!!

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

I’m so sorry that our president is a moron! I didn’t vote for him, either time! Our country is controlled by a corrupt government and most of our people are ridiculously dumb, but not all of us!

God help us?. I’m devastated that our government is this horrible now.

Russia and the US are going to invade Canada soon. Hard to explain, but be prepared for Canada to no longer exist as a government.

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

How is he defending Canadian jobs? The whole point of tarrifs is to make it unprofitable for American companies to use Canada for things like manufacturing, energy and other natural resources.\n\nThe liberal government is who made us weak where we depended on the trade deficit in our favour. If we looked at tapping our resources and finding other markets, we wouldn't be so far gone.\n\nTrudeau's answer? EI? More taxpayer debt?\n\nHe's trying to use this situation to garner support from the public. We're screwed.

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

I’d rather be Canadian than American right now.. The US ‘government’ is acting treasonously and recklessly against our own interests and the world’s..

Oh no maple syrup ............nooooo . Have any of you Canadians looked into what Canada imports vs exports .......... remeber all those new green deal garbage is out the window here in the USA, so lumber is going back up , mining , etc . Just because our countries are next to each other doesn't make us neighbors......... your country has allowed trahs polices to over ride your citizen rights, you've filled your country with migrants , you support crazy sick policies allowing sexual perversion to be put before public saftey . If your countries economy is so effected by this maybe you need this , got a little to relaxed riding tr he coat tails of being next to America. And don't take it personal , this isn't about you as a country but more about American calling out americna companies who build factories only your side , get great deals for taxes and then import the products back to American at a premium retail price and then profit off the American people while offering nothing back .........the end goal is to either make thise companies pay more to get products over the boarder , or bring the factories back here and employee americans .........and last I check the Canadian government doesn't own or produce any products so the things that will be imported to usa will be the ones with a cost rise to the companies that are producing them ........ them............

Trump doesn't care that he's starting a trade war w other countries bcus it's not about money its about power. They want to tear down the US and the ppl by making the ppl poor and destitute so they can swoop in w all the money & control everything. They want to rebuild a new government that's a dictatorship.

We don't want our government either. Pls Canada make us a providence. Pls know most of us do not like this. King George Trump is not our voice.

I would like to apologize on behalf of our completely corrupt and inept government. Please know that most of us don’t want this

We, Americans, don’t want this either and yes our government is doing this to us and not for us. It’s heartbreaking.

This is the way you handle a Bully; don't play the Bully's game. Our corrupt government has been corrupt since the beginning of our country and has had our Troops in 22 wars and our Troops are living with half their bodies, missing limbs and other disabilities our corrupt government has betrayed them and has sat on the sidelines watching the Gangsterville Enterprise aka White House say how they want to take their benefits. I care for my bedridden brother and have been caring for him for 5 years and I have never asked our corrupt government for compensation for caring for my brother. The corrupt government has kissed the ring and has lost their testicles with those damn black dresses. It's time take them for and do their jobs. We have a Consultation that was written decades ago to save us from this government corruption, it's time to stop the Shit Show and get our country back; we will be destroyed because Evil, Greed and Revenge never wins. United we stand and in God we trust amen ❤??

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

No our government is doing this to us Canada. Just secure the border and stop sending fentanol to the states

Our government does not care about us or anyone else in the world.

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

I am a American citizen I live America I feel the same like you say our government wants destroy us one for all because our citizens are stupid picking criminals to run the country

Please know that half of us did not vote for this monstrous government and can’t comprehend the stupidity of US voters who believed the lies of right wing media .We are so confounded on what to do.We fantasize about Canada and Mexico invading the US and dividing governance between you as Americans clearly can’t govern themselves.

Canada, I am standing with you from NC. Your leader and government are responding in an appropriate manner. trump and vance have brought shame to the US. All the lives that our country has lost in wars were not sacrificed to come to this moment.

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

From the US here Good job I am glad. Tell that idiot and the us citizens what a liar Trump really is. He didn't want the presidency. He only wanted to stay out of jail. I truly beleive this. So he letting Elon run the presidents office. A total bunch of idiots. They have fired 1000s of us government workers. I really don't think he is smart person Justin. I'm from ky. And I can garentee ypu it has nothing to do about drugs. Stick it to the sorry idiots. Again good job Justin.

was good to see so many canadian & ukrainian flags out in my city today. the shelves in stores with american products are empty, just like the past promises of US government. ?
