Detroit here. Canada is twenty minutes from where I live. It's a wonderful country. I stand with them on this matter. One thing was incorrect though. Trump is NOT a smart guy! Not by any means. He has a low IQ, very low. And, he's a criminal too.

wow... that's ballsy and rhymed. See... this is a leader i can stand with. Thank you for this. But honestly, this feels like a bad breakup.\n\nI don't know what the hell Donald is doing. Current US Administration is alienating its friends and allies. I wonder what the end goal is.

I wonder why the US is not able to produce a decent human being good enough to be president these days...

trump wants to be a dictator & nazi in lock step with putin!!! Trudeau is a sane kind democrat! I celebrate you for the wonderful & beautiful Canada!

Justin Trudeau is out any day now so I wonder if the new prime minister will sing the same song. Thank You Justin Trudeau for your service once you term is completed. I remember in Dec 2024 your citizens wanted you gone but I'm sure they're appreciating you civil duty.

I have just listened to Trump's State of the Union address. Gone is any respect I had for your country. What a hunk of crap that was....constant lies and falsehoods....no wonder you are losing your democracy. Shame on your Mitch.....you knew he was guilty as sin and now he is going to ruin your country. Job well done!

Governor Trudeau. Nice. I was wondering when the 51 state was going to show up.

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

I grew up in Detroit on the American side of the Detroit River. Have always loved Canada and Canadians...who have always been kind and wonderful neighbors...sorry about this.

Canda your country is ran by a joke. No wonder you're taxed so high

Well no wonder they were friends. We pay for your defense. Didn’t say anything about that Da

No wonder Melania digs Trudeau, he can actually talk in comprehensive sentences

Kinda makes you wonder where this politician was during covid, and the actual problems were facing in canada. This is the trudeau we wanted, but he did not deliver.

This is so not the point but I wonder how many times he practiced this speech because he's not even looking at notes much or reading a teleprompter.

Imagine screwing up so badly that Canada —CANADA — has to sit you down like an irresponsible child and explain basic economics. \n\nNext, Trudeau will be offering a coloring book to illustrate 'Actions Have Consequences' while the U.S. government wonders why their groceries now cost as much as a used car. ????

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

Don’t let the door hit you in the rear, Justin - English and Education major, 24 yrs younger than Trump. Trump - Economics major from Wharton. Gee, I wonder who’s gonna win.?

Big man, good speech; I wonder how the weakening will effect the world, and how it will affect Russia. Russia will gain strength by this. Ucraine will lose even more strength. Putin hast found Somebody who ist so self-blinded and really stupid enough that Russia will gain the best of it: weak States won't bei a Problem any more. I really am afraid, this ist evil.

I’m suspiciously wondering why he cares so much about America he should be up there speaking about his country. I think the gaslighting us. And they lying to us about the fentanyl because why we have so much in America it’s crazy. Where is it coming from? We don’t make it here.

I’m suspiciously wondering why he cares so much about America he should be up there speaking about his country. I think the gaslighting us.

As a Brazilian and also an American, I wonder how a guy like Trump managed to become president of a country as powerful and advanced as the USA.

I wonder if this was the same type of speech he gave when he seized the bank accounts of those farmers and workers that had a peaceful protest, remember that. Look at him trying to pander to the uneducated, brainwashed, CNN junkies. When they give the super long explanation about this and that and little more of this and a little more of that, means they are desperate and reaching. Its funny I read some of the comments from so called American Veterans stating that they stand with this or that, but not your own country...Think about that. I am also retired military.

I wonder what governor Donald would say to this ?

Oh it would be wonderful to again have a leader who is poised, ethical, intelligent and so well spoken!

All I heard was about all this wonderful stuff you did… AFTER being threatened with tariffs. Why not before? \nWhy does your BFF ally have to threaten tariffs before you place all of these wonderful things in place?

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

American and Australian here. We live in the US and wondering what in the hell is happening! We know actually. But WTAF!??? We do not want this.

Proud Canadian here .. thank-you for such a wonderful speech Prime Minister Trudeau. To the world: thank-you for your messages of support. To the Americans: we've received supportive messages from so many of you as well, thank-you.

If only we had more calm, articulate and measured leaders like this around the world? I know I would sleep better and not wake nervously wondering what new level of crazy is in evidence from the USA to spoil my day in Australia.

I wonder what it's like to have a government that serves its citizens.

I wonder if it's the stain's plan to force displacement of everyone not maga. Maybe he's trying to drive us out into Canada.

I fear so much for my wonderful Canadian and American friends. Having visited both countries specifically New York in the US, Nova Scotia and Ontario in Canada, my heart is breaking for them. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and pray for my American friends' safety as well. From Penzance, Cornwall, UK.

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out! I am so angry and disgusted! I apologize for our horrific leadership and I hope one day the people who are responsible for what is happening will be charged with sedition and espionage! I’ve had it. I stand with Ukraine Canada and the same citizens of this country who despise everything this current administration has done since they took office! You people who believe that Trump is this wonderful person and he’s doing wonderful things for America read a fucking history book!

I wonder how Trumptin will respond to this.

Donald Trump:You did a wonderful job Trudeau. And I’m choosing you to be the first governor of the 51th state of The United States.

Wonder which economy will collapse first?

So sorry that half of our citizens drank the t rump koolaid. Some of us send our love and prayers to our, our wonderful neighbor.

I wonder if fox news will have the balls to air this speech.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

To the good people of Canada: \n\nI wonder how much revenue is generated by Canadian Tourism to Las Vegas annually?

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

US population: 340 million vs Canada population: 40 million\nI wonder who will win this?

I wonder how many Americans bring fentanyl into Canada ? I’m sure it’s pretty even.

Polite does not mean weak.\nI wonder if Trump's government can be taught this in time.

Terrific! If Trudeau would always talk and act like this, he'd for sure still be prime minister. Sadly he doesn't. \nBut this was such a great speech, wonderful. The complete opposite of the screaming, ranting, insulting, hating and nearly exploding blood preasure patient orange the u.s. calls president.

I wonder if he called Donald an idiot in french too.

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

Stock market is down. Oh dear... From a guy who claims that 'The budget will balance itself', why he does not claim that 'The stock market will balance itself also'. Just wondering....

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for this wonderfully done speech full of facts and common sense! It's too bad that our own president is not even 1/10th as capable as you.

I still wonder, what Putin has on Trump? What can be so bad, that he turns USA into circus act in few months.
