What does it take to defect to Canada? I'm a (god help me) US citizen and want a incredible Prime Minister like you! You are awesome and you are doing whats right for Canada. I'm so sad at what our Government is doing. It's a disgrace.

Hey Castro Jr, shut up and let Pierre Pollieve take over already.

Embarrassed ashamed American here. Any other countries taking in Americans looking to get the hell out of here right now?

Serial killers take out the wrong people

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS JUST ONE THING . DOES AMERICA SUBSIDIARY ACTUALLY COMES INTO CANADA LIKE AMERICA STILL EMPHASIZE?\nAM BELIEVING THERE'S SOMETHING MORE INTO ALL THESE STORIES THAN TRUMP WANTING TO TAKE OVER CANADA. \nUNTIL THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS TOLD. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DECEIVED OURSELVES

It's ok for other countries to stand up for themselves but obviously its not ok for the United States to stand up themselves. The fact is that these countries have been taking advantage of the United States for so long that they feel entitled and are upset that our president is putting America first

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!

So, we are supposed to take the advice of someone who is bankrupting his own country? No thanks…

It will take a long time to build trust again dear americans. I guess your Stock market will fall soon

Well stop taking advantage of America

Funny how when you stop letting countries take advantage of us there are issues! I stand with you America ??

From Europe (again). We will take you LNG and oil. So shut delivery to the US!

Just gors to show when a. President takes suggestions from mr.musky

I have been taking over all my social media accounts and showing up to protest about dangerous Trump is for about 10 years now. I am embarrassed as an American. Sadly, 25% of our nation got duped.

I can see a few Americans here happy that Canada will be a 51 state. This is not a way to approach a friend to take over his house. There were other ways to do it long before and I assure you there were, maybe, doable but force is not one of them. You seed hate you get hate. What a mess.

I am american. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. None of this makes sense. Trump is a Treasonous traitor Putins puppet and a domestic terrorist with a maga cult taking a hostel government takeover for Putin. \nTrump is doing Putins bidding destroying America from within. He doesn't care about you, Ukraine or the American people. He lies and spreads Russian propaganda.

CNN is a true propaganda machine. I don’t know if it’s intentional to help drive the numbers up on the right. But it’s working. Keep it up. \nPeople have internet access and take trips around the world. This shit only works on people that don’t come outside and solely rely on cable tv.

It is just funny how Canada said we are better than Mexico and us is our friend! Take your friendship in the ass!!! Mexico is much more loyal to its word

Turn off the power. Take some serious steps.

I’ve heard enough…..Taking my Talents up North.

I know he's being a diplomat but he should have said 'Donald you're NOT a very smart guy and this is a dumb decision'. All leaders are being so careful with Trump because he can literally take everything so personal and then go into vengeance. He is just not cut out to do this job.

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.

It’s what happens when you give a greedy narcissistic person, the reins to a country, with no oversight, or controls! Heads-up Canada keep up the fight you have Allies across the pond, they will buy your goods, and we down here in America will suffer, until someone takes the reins!

I'm not a fan of Justin Trudeau by any means, HOWEVER... Hearing his speech just now filled me with pride to be Canadian and standing up to the new autocratic fascist government of our southern neighbour. I've watched over the last +/- 40 days the UnUnited States of America devolve into Russia's lap dog, with Putin's excrement on Orange Man's face on a near daily basis. I hope that whatever good people left down there can rise up and take back their country ASAP, otherwise the entire world will suffer the catastrophic consequences!

50% of Americans didn't want this either but thank you for wearing a suit so Trump can take your concerns and suggestions seriously. 50% of Americans are now fashion designers and follow blindly until our current administration policies effect them negatively.

Chump treats Americas allies like enemies and its enemies like allies!! How long does it take for Americans to WAKE UP and overthrow this corrupt administration??

It is very simple, just like Donald Trump is, he puts the tarifs on products, so live for people get even more expensive, then after a while he will change his mind and the tarifs wil disapear and products gets cheaper again. THEN he will proudly say that he took care of the high prices. This all he will do to show he was right that he would take care of the Americans and lower the prices and 80% of them will believe it and will say that he made good on his promise. This is the art of the deal.

Thank you Trudeau, as an American, we have a dictator as president; it's completely ridiculous we are taking side with Russia. Sickening.

As an American right now i feel more strongly patriotic for my Canadian brothers than my own government. We should be the best of friends and allies this is such a stupid fucking step for trump to take. He's destroying our alliances. I only hope our relationship isn't irreparably damaged before his four years are up. As a western new yorker who has lived by the falls all my life, im really saddened to see this. Sorry.

Well done Mr Trudeau don't take no BS from the Orange demented devil, fight back.??

Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Trumpty Dumpty will take a great fall. Vance and Elon both deranged. Both to break America again.

I will take Trudeau's words anyday. Try crossing the Canadian Border with illegal stuff and you will find out.

Trump's not bowing down to Russia!!! WHAT Don't you idiots understand??? Trump's trying to save LIVES Zelinski wants WAR AND every country OVER THERE have been taking More and More OF Russian Land! GET A Education and learn what's been going on for years!!

Absolutely brilliant. Governments of the world take note. This is how a nation should be managed. How much extra parliament and politicians do we need when this 1 man and his team can achieve such an honest an genuine connection to his people it puts all others to shame.

I think that Trump is far more dangerous than most people understand. He just bought the Panama Canal. He wants the soon to be viable NW passage. Add Greenland to the list… this has nothing to do with boarder issues. This is about him taking the trillion a year that these trade routs will give him and then giving Europe to Putin.

If Trump was a Russian asset, this is exactly what they would want him to do. Destroying NATO, dismantling the US government, taking our defensive capabilities like Cyber team stop focusing on Russia, and finally cratering the US economy is EXACTLY what Russia wants. If MAGA can't see this, you are blind and deaf to reality. I can't believe I'm watching this happen!

Russia should take it's old soviet satellite countries. China can have Taiwan. America unites the contenent. Canada and Mexico become the new US territories. This is the new world order to come. You can't fight the future. Resistance is futile.

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.

I still believe that Trudeau would be the best person to expose the trump north canadian running for pm. He said that he is not Maga but that is what he would say. Why would he admit that. He wants your vote. But we should take our example from the US. Beware beware. Thanks Justin.

Canada, Take the gloves off. Go with SANCTIONS. Show the deranged the meaning symbiosis.

Black American senior citizen here. Please take me!!!!!

Canada is also our closest leech. By all rights you shouldnt even be an independent country. You're the second biggest country in the world, you have the 28th largest military. Your entire population is barely over that of california. You're economy is borderline pathetic, and your government is even worse. Kick this Trudeau clown to the curb and get a better PM. As far as im concerned any free nation that limits speech and rights the way canada does is simply not free. We would gladly take everyone west of Winnipeg and accept you into the USA. But Quebec and Ontario can piss right off.

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

Trudeau govt. Is failed to maintain \nRelationship with USA .\nCanada need mature P.M.\nI respect bond between Us and Canada public.\nBut Trump is right he is now taking\nCare of his own country's economy. He is not allowing taxpayers money to E.U. & other country's.

I’m from Peru who leave in Canada for the past 37 years and I’m telling you I will stand for Canada whatever it takes, Canada will not back down!

Bravo Trudeau, thank you for your wisdom and firm grip on sanity. I am sorry our government (usa) is taking an insane agenda.

Great speech by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. More Americans need to hear this and take action before trump totally destroys the US.

Stop taking from America, Canada

Putin is a lying dictator just like you who welcomes terrorists from all over the world to take shelter in Canada

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!!!
