It took “two” evil greedy men to bring about destruction, only God can help us, people need to earnestly pray not just now but always.

Que pouvons-nous faire pour aider, nous les aînés ? Nous ne pouvons travailler 40 heures/semaine, mais nous sommes encore capables d'aider notre pays. What can we do, us elderly people to help? We can't work 40 hours/week but we can still help our country.

As an American, thank you Canada for speaking the truth and not hiding and kissing trumps ass. Thank you for your help in mobilizing the American people.

everyone wants our money and gets angry when they dont get it, WE ARE IN DEBT. we are trying to solve the debt and not just continually give aid to be people that dont need it. Work for your own country and help your own country thrive, be independant like the canada you want to be. stop being a leech.

Russia in the future : we will not stand back and watch our ally The United States to be in turmoil from all the protest and people going against Democracy. Trump won fair and square, and we will be sending our armed forces to help the U.S control this situation.

THE WHOLE WORLD NEED TO HELP USA PEOPLE TO END THIS NIGHTMARE. ??????WE DON’T HAVE LAW, SUPREME COURT, CONGRESS, SENATE ,JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, HITLER WAS A GERMANY DICTATOR IN ONLY 6 MONTHS.HELP PLEASE.?

Mr. Prime Minister. The people of the United States love Canada we would do anything to help stop this. You are our closest✌️ friend and ally for years and years please don’t hold it against us because we have an idiot in the White House. God bless.

Some people may not know where Donald Trump is doing what he is doing he trying to overthrow this country. So what he’s doing he trying to turn all the other countries against the American people so he can lock it down and help things his way. That’s one of the reasons why he is determined to destroy Ukrainian and other of our allies so him and his circle can do all their dirty work

trump doesn't care about the people. he is stealing and making money hand over fist and all this confusion is helping him out. it's all about stealing as much as he can as fast as he can. we need to impeach the idiot!!!!!!

Thank you, Canada! As an American, I am appalled at the hellmouth this administration that I did not vote for has dragged my country into. Nothing I see suggests to me that the people we've entrusted with enforcing our laws and our constitution will come through for us against this coup that has broken with democracy and simple decency. So you do whatever you have to do to protect the interests of your own citizens, and I will have to hope that ultimately it will help topple these monsters who have taken this country hostage.

Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire oligarchs...unlike you who care about the people of Canada, trump does not care, our well being and ability to survive his schemes, taking our tax dollars for his rich friends, do what you must to protect your good people and just come back with humanitarian help for any remaining needs Americans once trump is eliminated!! Go Canada, take care of yourselves at any cost. 49.5% of idiot Americans voted for this situation, so they need to suffer trumps rather before they ta k è action to stop him!

As we’ve always said Trump does not care about the American people or his country! He only wanted the presidency as a get out of jail free card! He doesn’t care about anybody his ego tells him he only wants the power of a dictator and be friends with dictators and to rule like a king! God help you America you definitely have made the wrong choice! Your president is doing Putins bidding

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

No one believes the fentanyl lies the American Nazis in the Whitehouse tell NO ONE!!! they should have already been dragged out and took to the gilotin CANADA is our loyal family and we have attacked our own familyand the tariffs are on US!! he has lied on Canada to steal from all of us to give more and more to the billionaires THE OLIGARDS OF AMERICA!!! the elderly of America will starve the children of America will starve and our children of America will be working the jobs the immigrants work to support their families and that is the plan it's in their 2025 plan and everyone who voted for it knew it !!! NOW only knowing they are doing everything in their power to fight this is the only way they will be shown any sympathy!!! everyone who supports these Nazis should be exposed every business from the billionaires to the hotdog stand should be boycotted the real Americans need to support each other now ! what people need now is constant information on who is helping and who is not!! and if the media is going to support the people then we must not support them !! and the commercials on media that show any support to these aggressors or works to suppresses the truth should noted and boycotted .we must boycott them all we cannot give them a penny and take any penny we can we must get our country back let's all go AMERICA NOW!!! we must save america

Fix your country first. Help all your homeless people

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

I am wondering if Fox is gonna show this speech, and how about Newsmax and, the other one that I right now don't remember, I really hope the Americans who voted for trump see how a real leader talks and behaves and I also hope that people realize that this president is hurting every single American Citizen, these tariffs will not help our country it will make it so much harder for every person in The USA to make a decent living. Please don't forget about this NOT NOW NOT EVER.

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

I cannot help but feel that politicians' speeches are almost always aimed at the people, even when they seem to be addressing their opponents.

Great speech. 100% support from Europe. I hope our EU leaders get in touch quickly on how we can help Canada. They have only 40 million people and get bullied by a country 10 times as large. Unbelievably unfair. I hope the US customers will pay dearly for this unfair attack.

Thank you to all the support from the people outside of Canada. Please help us through this by supporting our online businesses.

You can tell this man will take care of his people. Unlike the one in our office. Help Trudeau.

Swedish immigrant living in Usa and I am so scared of this new Administration Trump is not with the American people he is with Putin. Usa need help removing Trump and Vance and the Maga Loyalist

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

World only recognizes the power of money and economy , America is the largest economy in the history . America is not Charity to help other over its people interests . Thank you Mr. president Trump . I wish my country leaders love their country as you do to your country . Salute Mr. President Donald Trump

And I rarely hear from the vice president knowing he's not going to help the people. He the one made that argument happen

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

Let’s go canada cause soon I’ll be living in canada and Mexico and help them with the economy if I’m going to work I’m going to work for my land and for a country who loves people ❤

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

If you truly want to work with and help our society in the US as you claim. You'd happily pay the tariff's. \nAlso, you do realize that you can open up a facility for the production for those goods in the US and avoid the tariff's. This would also help by giving our society jobs back that were lost over the decades of free trade robbing our society of those jobs, making more people reliant on government entitlements. \n\nThank you and have a good day neighbor.

Can people start saying the T tariffs instead of American?\nHe does not speak for us. Musk put him in office, and we're trying to raise our voices. Today, he made protests illegal in violation of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. What he did to Ukraine, there are no words. We need help. We really need the world to step in and stop him. He's insane. Thank you.

What is Trump doing? This move by Trump raising the Tariffs is bad for the US people Very sad to hear what he is doing to Canada considering what Canada is trying to do to help the US. Now because of this Canada has to raise their Tariffs to survive.

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.

A leader that can speak and make sense. I bet he can even READ without help. Canadians are good people. \nTrump is not

Trump is a moron. He's hurting the USA people not helping. He's not making America Great, he's making America suffer.

I am Canadian. Trump might be smart. To smart. Thus has let Russia put a nose ring in. THINK BRICS. APRIL 2nd if Canada and all EUROPE JOIN BRICS what is going to happen to the US dollar? IT WILL CRASH!!! CHINA RUSSIA INDIA and many more are in BRICS. THE USA PETRO DOLLAR IS IN JEOPARDY NOW. CONGRATS TRUMP ... THE ART OF THE DEAL is going to really hurt the USA. I fell sorry for the people of the USA. I fell sorry that CANADA has to cut off our power, electricity, our oil, our water, our nuclear energy and more. ... God help us all. This is WWIII and will not end well for anyone.

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

As a Canadian I belive that this is the End of the good deeds,no more help with fires, floods ,no more welcome for plains that need to land in our country, like the 911 dester! No more backing USA in their wars, firefighters, rescues, for your disters will not help your people !

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

All the blame without exception was caused by MORENA AND SO MUCH NACO HELPED, starting with the alliance with the drug trafficker Andres Lopez Obrador, to obtain money from the DRUG TRAFFICKING TO BUY VOTES IN EXCHANGE FOR protection of the armed forces TO THE DRUG TRAFFICKING, using cynical manipulations of hugs and not bullets second speaking badly of the United States in the morning, manipulating the ignorant people letting millions of MIGRANTS pass AND ON THE OTHER HAND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SELF-DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE, letting millions enter Mexico without moving a single finger, but letting the armed forces collect incredible quotas of money to keep the soldiers happy, they have bankrupted PEMEX, direct robberies to SEGALMEX, the refinery and the Mayan train, unprecedented million-dollar robberies, and now stealing the workers' savings funds in Infonavit, insecurity at its peak in the country and especially states where the fourth misfortune of this country directs, that allied itself with countries that are Communist, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia and China, are bringing us misfortune, urgent help is requested from President Trump

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

We love you America. Wish you didn’t vote for him and them. I know all of you didn’t….but it is what it is. We’ll be fine. We’re. Canadian. We are used to being hearty and handling rough times. We love each other and think nothing of sharing and helping. We will just do it. Whatever it takes. Just today your government told its congress to not to go town halls and listen to YOU. They are turning their backs to the people that pull their last dollar out of their pockets to give to them and they will NOT listen. Make them

Trudeau is acting like he did anything but all he did was screw his countrymen. Also ur exports keep em an we will keep ours. Because let's be honest it's only help on the bridge it's not helping us Americans or Canadian working-class people

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people
