let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

He lost me trying to compliment him!!

He lost me at saying that Trump is a smart guy...

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

And maxico we lost all manufacturing jobs now trump is going after

We have a corrupt government that has full responsibility for the Shit Show.Our corrupt government has been a corrupt government since the beginning of America and it's time for them to be exposed and I'm here to do just that. I'm Victim of District Supreme Court of Kansas and Government, Google Irene Pacheco vs State of Kansas, the only Mexican American in history who took the State of Kansas to the District Supreme Court of Kansas the District Supreme Court of Kansas: Violated my right to sue my employer the EEOC gave me, the Federal Judge signed a Pretrial Judgment for 100K, lost wages and the return of the lower paying job I worked for to support my 2 daughters, Falsified Federal Documents Tampered with Federal Records Deformation of Character Mental Anguish, Obstruction of Justice, Bias, Abuse of Power, Denied a hearing, Not informed that my case was moving on to the District Supreme Court of Kansas. The corrupt government underestimates the intelligence of the American citizens and I made history due to their corruption, I'm here to be their worst nightmare. The corrupt government is corrupt on all levels.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

I lost my job as engineer in USA last 30 years

He's not appeasing putin. He's trying to stop people from dying. Respecting the agreement to not put nato in the Ukraine, is basically living up to your word. The borders go back to where they were at 2014. I believe that's a fair deal and will stop 2,200 people from dying every single day. You guys are praising this crap Zolenesky spews... while everybody in the Ukraine has lost their sons. And now they are grabbing old men off the street literally while walking their dog and making them soldiers.

Ahh to live in a country with a president that is diplomatic, logical, and strategic. It'll be a long lost memory for America soon enough. Wake up maga seriously wake up.

Sell your product to uk and EU simple don’t be bullied by the trump he’s trying to weaken you so he can propose a state for your country don’t deal with them sell your product to uk eu etc they can’t be trusted no more and I love America ?? and there people but this has gone terribly wrong now he’s in power and by the way I wanted trump to win but now he’s lost me ?

Canada can dissappear tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost

The US just destroyed all their trade partnerships, while their former partners each lost just one partner. How stupid is that?!

I'm worried in the UK as we generally follow American trends. I can only imagine who we will elect next. They will have to be well known, have lost fortunes, be a criminal, be a serial predator (and a rapist) and be obnoxiously hubristic. I don't know who this is but I can guarantee over half the population here will vote for them. Time to prep.

Donvict, The “Greatest Businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.\nMAGA: Make Russia Great Again. (FYI: Abbreviations doesn't matter to Donvict supporters...most can't spell)

Well look how smooth and very adult this Canadian leader is speaking to his people at least they haven't lost their morale?

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

Cnn just lost me when referencing peter navaro.i guess that is why I wont waste my sanity with CNN

Why haven't impeachment hearings for Trump started already? (rhetorical question, no need to answer haha) \nOr at least cognitive decline hearings, Trump has lost his mind.... oh wait, he lost if years ago haha

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

As a European I stand with Canada. I lived in the Us and many Americans are wonderful. However this administration has lost its values and soul. Canada and the E.U should work together closely. And why not join the E.U? Our values are the same. And We must be united against he great imperialists threats coming from Russia and, now, America. \nAs a consumer I decided to boycott American products whenever possible. I had planned to travel to America on vacation but I will cancel that for the next 4 years at least. I hope many will join us in the “boycott American products” movement?

Nothing like hearing Castro Jr. lecture America. Get lost Bozo.

UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FALL! Even though the world is burning, we, the people need to stand together, even if some of our leaders go full R-word. We the people, in the west must stand together. Or all is lost.

Sorry unfortunately Americans voted him back, I truly truly apologize from the other half who never wanted him back but we lost.

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?

The Canadian government is there to serve its citizens. yo, merica - who have lost tons of jobs recently. How nice would that be if our country was there for you like theirs is for them? Keep watching what your ill deserved vote for FDT gets you. Less and less every fn day!!!!

Huh trump and Putin have a very dirty mind what is going on ? Especially trump he lost he's mind ! Amarican destroyed all over middle east and now he talk about Canada Mexico and Europe ? really did amarican people know why they vote for trump??? Amarica should wake up before anything happens!!!

Go Canada Go. Poor to all Americian have Trump running the show. And watch out you (Americian) might go broke and even like the other 8900+ lost their job.

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.

This guy is a tool and is using propaganda to avoid their responsibility in securing their border. He’s lost credibility a long time ago and is washed up hack.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Trudeau lost me when he said: Trump is a very smart guy…\nI secretly hope he meant “well dressed”

Trump is making enemies out of our allies so then if some other country attacks us, our lost allies won’t back us up and fight on our side. If you think Russia is our ally, you have been duped.

B.s. get lost!

Trump lost a trade war. I voted for Kamala.

I would love to have more leaders talk directly to AMERICAN people to let them know facts and the real truth. Some Americans listen to Trump. Most of us stand with you Canada. Trump has lost his mind and spineless republican politicians are heppy to listen to him.

Canada, we are sorry. 49 % of our voters lost their mind. Prime Minister of Canada is right, no one wins a trade war. Nor is this war or the trade war with Mexico is justified.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

Stand down drake already lost

Trump is a fricking moron! WTF is going on, can any of the Trumptards out there please answer that! He has lost his f ing mind! F Putin, Elon and Vance too!

You won't believe what happened to me recently. I lost my funds and properties through a fraudulent investment, I was broke,stranded and struggling with finance. I felt like I was hitting a dead end, depressed and confused every time due to my situation. In the process of looking for any means to recover my lost funds I came across this unconventional solution while reading online. I decided to give it a trier out of desperation.

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

Give me a break another loser that lost the election opening his punk mouth yeah try us you scumbags don’t you go get money from England

This fool has lost all credibility . Remember how he acted with the lockdowns.

Donald?... Get lost, get a haircut and get a real job. ???\n\nGo Canada Go! ????

I recall a date now known universally as 9-11. Aircraft bound for USA landing in my home province because US airspace was shut down. 17 large aircraft parked in St. John's (where I live), and 27 parked in Gander (much smaller town, but has a big airport). I've lost track of whatever other aircraft had to find a home and a home for their passengers. Today, over two decades later, this is a stain on the US executive. Not Americans, the executive office. Congress took a powder. The executive office should represent Americans, but it doesn't. I feel sorry for the American citizens who will suffer.

Over the last couple of years, a lot of Canadians have lost respect for this man, but I must give credit where it’s due. He did a remarkable job articulating what’s going on, and what to expect. United we stand! ??

From all the bullying that this man gets from Canadian citizens and American leaders, I love how he handles things very professionally. He’s got exceptional self control and never lost his temper. Always showing humbleness. A great example of a true Canadian.

The clapping seals in here don't remember all the jobs that Americans lost to Canada. All the automotive jobs. Just look at Detroit. Thats because of Canduhduh.
