Dear dear people of Canada if any of you read any of these comments I want you to know that there are A LOT of us who are ABSOLUTELY NOT happy, about anything that this man\n who has been elected president, is doing. There are some of us who had definitely considered asking Canada for a dual citizenship. But this, I discovered is not an easy process ? we are so sad and sorry that a portion of our citizens were able to vote this man back into the White House. All we can say is, Dear Lord, please rescue us from this horrible situation ???

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

And they speak more than two languages this is so so sad?

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

This must be baffling to many Americans hearing an articulate, well-spoken, and intelligent leader. Many Americans just assume the rest of the world is illiterate and stupid, like the masses of Americans are. The propaganda that is spewed out telling Americans how great their country is isn't reality. Sad, really. When you elect a leader like Trump, it's clear to the rest of the world that there is a shortage of intelligence in the USA.

????? I hope Americans are listening to him. There is no reason for the trade war Trump started and how Americans will suffer financially. Trudeau is correct in this only helps our enemies.. Russia and other countries who want to see us fighting with each other. What Another sad day for America again. Not feeling great.

Not this American , we are a sad people

I do support Canada. America is in wrong direction. Sad for America

???? soooo sad, i swear

This is so very sad. I sincerely hope the Canadians know that the American people do not want this. Most of us are appalled and desperately want this to end. We never wanted it to happen in the first place.

Although one can agree with the nonsense to do with tariffs, it is sad that cultural changes contrary to the entire history of the human race have been allowed to prosper like a weed. Leave well enough alone: to march into the future a man and a woman are needed: the rest is just marginal.

God, please help us here in America.\nFirst they came for the ‘ Non citizens’ we were silent, now they are coming for the Federal workers , we are still silent, tomorrow, they will come for us. Do you think the super Billionaires will save us? Our wages will go up in flames via inflation. Sad !!!

The fentynal is probably going from the US to Canada not the other way. Rapist 34 felonies is a sick sick person. Most Americans know this. Sadly not enough Amercans came out to vote for Harris/ walz to avoid this.

As a leader of a liberal government, you stood by and did nothing and here you are trying to convince us otherwise. You're a joke. This could have been prevented. Perogan Parliament was your solution only to put in your 3.0 carbon tax Carney! Who's been caught lying to the Canadian people not just once twice three times four times. What a sad representation of Canada liberals NDP. Please move out of the way. Let an election happen. Common sense conservative is what we need. Bye-bye!

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

As a proud Canadian, I always admired the USA and felt lucky to be your neighbor, visited often... Sad to see this happen.

SAD DAY TO BE AMERICAN I VOTED HARRIS AND NOW YOU SEE WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

Sadly, the people needing to see this, won’t see it on FOX News.

He is Dumb and it not a Smart Move, This is\n Not Going to End Well What Helll is That \n Suppose to Mean The Drama if it all and still every day\nPeople Suffer ??? Very Sad Only

The way he talks to Donald is hilariously like a parent telling a child they're doing something idiotic. He's right, but it doesn't make it any less funny and sad that Donald Trump is someone you have to talk like he's a 5 year old to.

Trump knows this is wrong but it’s more about his presidential legacy. He wants to be a president talked about in history books for centuries like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln and with ALL of his controversial antics….I’m sad to say it…he will?

Compare this leader to that orange moron…. Bizarre that a big part of america voted for that sad little wannabe dictator

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.

PM you are a leader sadly us Americans have a child as President.

We don’t want it either! We all admire Canada—thank YOU for standing up to that bloated orange sad excuse of a “president” we have.

Wooow, what a clear speech and action. Sadly, Trump is severely mentally ill, as 70 psychiatrists have warned since 2017 continuously. Moreover, Trump is a gangster like, who surrounded him with nuts alike. More moreover, he jumped into Putin's criminal boat. What a president voted Americans... Russia put a president in America, the Nobel Prize for mental illness is spreading around the World goes to the Kremlin. Eternal shame for those who voted Trump. WW3 is closer than ever.

Sad to see America becoming evil..used to be my favourite country until they becoming like a communist country..

This is so sad ???

Thanks to all Americans for the support. Sad day for us, creating a problem with us for what?

The elected American president is a bad sad sick joke! To me the United States are becoming just like Russia. And to be polite, I really don’t like Russia! ❤️ from Sweden to Canada and all our allies!

THIS is LEADERSHIP! Sad that in 6 weeks Americans forgot what that sounds like. BLESS YOU CANADA!!

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.

From Germany: Proud to hear a real leader. Staying with Ukraine,Mexico and Kanada.\nAfter Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine we had to change our oil- and gas-trade and rised the import from USA.\nLooks like we have to replace the USA by Kanada!\nCongratulations, Mr. Trump! We get it!\nNo, we don‘t want your paying for our support after 9/11. \nUSA, Kanada, U.K., France and Russia saved our country from an authoritarian murderous „Führer“.\nLater we had been with USA, Kanada and 29 other contries in a strong union to defend democracy and humanity.\nYou cancelled it. No congratulations.\nSpeechless and sad!

Sadly there are millions of Americans here who are fucking furious and disagree 1000% percent with this ignorant Poseur shit thrower in our white house.... \n\nWe DON'T blame Canada.\n\n#trumpisalyingIdiot

it is so sad that the Canadians have a far better method of boarder patrol, and deterrence

I am so proud of my Prime Minister! As for the Americans, I feel sorry for you! You have a lunatic running the country! Get him out! The damage he will do in four more years is incomprehensible! You won’t recognize your country! It’s so sad!

Thank you, PM Trudeau!!! From a REAL American, I consider you a bigger ally and friend than America's sad excuse of a 'president' aka America's Hitler. FUCK TRUMP/MUSK/VANCE/MAGA.

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.

It’s nice to hear a real leader speak & understand everything word he says. The US is a sad place right now!! ?

So sad it’s come to this, I hope the American voters see what they’ve done

Way to go down swinging Just. VP Vance and Donnie J are sad indictment of the social mentality of America.

Trump is like a Toddler thar never grew up. Sad for the Americans that didn’t vote for him, but now have to pay the price of his stupidity.

I was born in Canada to Ukrainian Immigrants. I have dual citizenship. My loyalty is to both countries. I hate what President Trump has created here. We are now pawns in the game of Trade War. So sad.

Embarrassed as an American….so sad and simply disgusted….

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

As an American, I am proud of you Canada!! You are showing class, integrity, and good morals. What is happening in our country is absolutely unacceptable and makes me sad. I also stand with Mexico and Ukraine.

It’s a sad day when the Canadian PM has to fight for the American People
