Have just watched “Newsnight” in the U.K. where Melanie Joli was being interviewed. One very very impressive lady - she didn’t pull any punches and said just how it is. Canada is the only country to have the guts to say the truth about the current U.S. administration. Let’s hope more countries have the guts to stand up to Trump.

I'm an American, didn't vote for Trump, and I stand with Canada.

Stop the drugs coming in. Pay your fair share. Then we’ll talk. You had time to do something about this and you didn’t obviously. Maybe you should tax/ rob your citizens harder so that you can continue to live like royalty. You’re not interested in doing what is best for prosperity in Canada. If you were this wouldn’t be an issue

I didn’t vote for Trump, and I abhor what he’s doing.

I didn’t vote for him.

Leave us alone. didn't your resign? you are the reason that this happened.

I can't stand to see that idiot speaking anymore. He just raised the inflation by 25%, as if he didn't do enough harm yet.

Didn’t he resign?

Didn’t he resign?

Wild to be spoken to by an ally the same way our past presidents have spoken to the citizens of oppressive regimes.\n\nThis American stands with Canada. I didn't vote for Putin's orange puppet.

Wait didn't he resign , why the hell is he still around. Trudeau is bad mm-k

He didn’t say thank you!

Yeah, most of Americans don’t want this either. Many Americans who voted for whoever is really acting as president are regretting and those of us who didn’t, saw this coming a mile away.

Nobody cares what Trudeau has to say. Didn’t he step down? Isn’t he walking out of office this month? Who knows what his successor will do. But Americans aren’t going to rally behind the French Canadian government against our own. Laughable.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

Didn’t this guy announce his resignation months ago? Didn’t he quit on Canada because the people of Canada lost faith in him and he could feel it?

American here, I support you, Canada. I didn't vote for Trump. He is embarrassing our country. I am so sorry he's treating you badly. If your country wasn't so cold, I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat! You deserve to be treated better.

As a american I stand with you Canada I didn't vote for this thug in the whiteshouse he a plague. Trump needs to be impeached.

Trump is a liar. He didn’t respect the treaties and the adjustments he himself set last month. Trump and Putin can’t be trusted 0.

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

Who didn't see this gonna happen before November 4th, 2024? 77 million vote for this, knowing this was gonna happen. Whatever happened, I hope the 77 million enjoy the ride. You think things were bad before watch what the next 4 years gonna get you. Buck Up America ?? Let go for the ride

Go to hell Trudeau. You're a disgusting communist that failed Canada and didn't fix the border that would have prevented this. of course, anybody who watches CNN is an idiot.

The United States didn’t impose tariffs. Trump MAGA did, weak republican senators and congressmen did. Corporate America did.

American here… I’m standing with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, Mexico, and any other country affected by this senseless trade war. I do not stand with Russia. Perhaps, and maybe MAGA worshippers will see the light when they can’t afford to buy a house. I didn’t vote for “the orange” and not all of us are brainwashed. ??‍♀️

Back down from a fight huh. Canada wouldn't be here today if they didn't back down from a fight lol.

This is a great man and president much respect for this man and Canadian, country this makes me feel very bad this president trump is making enemies everywhere it makes me sick it was a mistake voting for him good thing I didn’t

There is NO making sense of any of this. Our leadership is simply insane. I apologize for what the administration is doing to you and Mexico, and Ukraine. I wish I didn’t have to live here. I understand your response to this issue.

Hey Trudeau you won't back down from forcing thousands of truckers to get vaxperimented on but eventually you had to stop your nonsense. didn't you? I stopped watching at 4:00 because his face makes people physically ill. And Joly too.

Didn't his wife leave him for a man? Damn hoser

CNN needs to realize its role in this, as everyone knew what Trump would do, but you didn't care enough about the black vote to listen to what they wanted. Make no mistake. The black voters held their nose and voted for Obama a second term, but when he did nothing but insult us, we stayed home on Hillary and we got Trump. Trump was an overt racist, so you scared enough black voters and we held our nose and voted for Biden, but we made it clear that scare tactics would only work once. You Doubled down in 2024 and you lost miserably this time, Double down again, and you may lose your party. For the record, there is no voter's remorse for those who stayed home.

I didn’t vote for Trump.

I'm an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine!!\nI didn't vote for this government. I am appalled and discusted with this putin butt kissing agenda. ?

Nooooooo......we don't like our govenment! We didn't vote for them!!! We don't want them. How can we get rid of these evil people?????!

“Speaking harshly”???—He didn’t advocate for any person or group’s death or curse or make any personal attacks even ???? Canada, would you please consider lowering your visa requirements please omg ?????

If Trump didn't have an upper hand, he wouldn't have started this.

I hope Canada knows 51% of us didn't vote for Trump.

Not me. I am from Puerto Rico, and I didn't vote for that motherflower?

I will not buy anything from the states ever again. Even if the trade war ens, you can thank the guy you voted for, I do feel very bad for the citizens who didn't vote for him, those people I will support

Wasn’t it obvious republicans were aligned with Putin when 3 right wing influencers including Tim Pool and Benny Johnson were bribed by Russia to spread Russian propaganda? \n\nThey didn’t even deny it either… they just said they were “unknowingly tricked and were victims” How much longer will republicans live in denial about this?

Ooooof, he didn’t hold back did he? Good for Canada and good for Prime Minister Trudeua

Half Canadian half British here. Thanks for the support! We will beat trump. Unfortunately I didn’t think I’d use those words a few months ago…

I'm ashamed to call the orange man President. I didn't vote for him and think he is a stain upon our country.

I am with Canada and I’m an American. And btw, I didn’t vote for the Putin loving, insurrectionist, felon.

Didn't he resign?

Didn’t you back down literally the next day lol

As an American Mr. Trudeau let me say that i highly respect the way you speak with education and dignity. Thank you for what your telling us. I didn't vote for this tyrant or these republican politicians. I hope those MAGA's are happy with how we are doing and the suffering that is coming shortly.

Watching this I’m embarrassed that kier starmer didn’t have the backbone to say how it is.

Wow the United States got what they got because they voted stupidity, hatred, bigotry, racism,no experience, felonies, just to name a few?compared to these two men from Canada and Ukraine ?? who can read, speech different languages, have compassion, have experience, intelligence with integrity… WOW JUST BECAUSE AMERICANS DIDN’T WANT A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN…who has everything thing in her fingernail that lil Donnie will never have? United States got a “good white boy”who happens to sleep with Satan???

America here and I fully stand with Canada on their decision against the US. You get what you asked for, didn’t expect it? Then the US has to deal with it and people continue to suffer.

Didn't he step down?
