Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

As an American I feel shame and embarrassment. Where I'm from, you love, respect, and honor your neighbors. You treat them as you want to be treated. Canada is our ally. Mexico is our ally.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Bravo M. Trudeau d'un Cajun de Louisiane! Résistez à Trump!

I’m an American, and I strongly agree Canada retaliation to trade war even though I voted for dumping trump

I'm so proud of Canada very nice people i have visited Canada in 2016 i had a Job in Iraqi embassy I'm from Iraq and I say Canada really don't deserve this they are just really good people May God bless you all and peace be upon this Earth ❤❤

I wish we had leaders who led like this. Would a kind Canadian come kidnap me please? You don't have to keep me, but please get me out of here. ?\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm ashamed of my president AND my country. I'm thankful, tho, for those who are willing to stand up to the wannabe king. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine - we're sorry and we're rooting for you!

yay bring on general Wesley Clark the last guy who started a war in Europe under Bill Clinton completely destroying the whole country and fragmenting it up into seven wannabe gangster outlaw states good job you are a man with words of wisdom I’m being facetious, of course

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

WSJ is consistently rated as centrist and with low bias, so I'm not sure what he was getting at with that shot.

I'm an American and let me make this perfectly clear what I heard. Coming out of Justin Trudeau's mouth today was the gospel truth. Our government is off the rails and who's to blame the GOP and the magas. Canada this American supports you 150%

I’m sorry Canada. I am an immigrant grew up in the US since 1980s that your country have to deal with MORONTrump.

I'm impressed of Trudeau put his word said America your government done this to you

I'm an American & his speech almost made me cry. He's such a great leader & Canadians are our great role models. I love you guys & I will protest my government.

I'm so proud of our Prime Minister what an intelligent speech. Now this what a true leader should be.

Very well said and I’m only 2 mins in

I'm a Michigander and I enjoy the fact that I can look across the water and wave at Canada??Lord bless and help us all. L❤️VE can and will conquer ALL! ??????

‼️?‼️ I'm so proud to be Canadian. Especially now??‼️?‼️

I’m an American and I strongly approve this message.

It doesn't even look like he's reading from a teleprompter or page. I'm impressed.

America has always done stuff like this need an excuse for some type of thing that makes us rich, so stupid, manifest destiny in which we learn in school, its fucked up, we just need stability. If we teach policemen to calm the situation down why are we doing this. I'm just a kid though so what do I know

I’m sorry Canadians?. I don’t understand how my fellow Americans voted this guy back into the WHouse. ?

I'm South African and I stand on the side of democracy and Ukraine and Palestine. we love maple syrup. Grew up watching canadian cartoons. We loath Trump and especially SA born Elon Musk for spreading lies about SA, for trying to take over gaza and supporting genocide/ apartheid in Israel

As a Canadian, I may not have agreed with everything Trudeau has done in the past 9 years. However he’s handled this American threat with class and dignity and I’m proud of our response. American/Canadian relations will never be the same. After all of this is over, there is a lot of apologies and healing that has to happen before we can even start thinking about rebuilding this relationship.

I'm so sorry, I didn't vote Trump. He is running this country to the ground, and making enemies of friends while he tries to make friends of enemies. Trump is a traitor and a fool.

I’m glad Canada is fighting back, don’t let this bully Trump hold anything over your head!

I’m in the US but I’m cheering on Canada and the rest of the world. I’m sorry we’re the enemy right now. I know my prices will go up, but please please don’t back down!!

I’m glad Truedeau is saying this and explaining it cause Orange Cheeto is gonna say some STUPID shit lying about it.

I’m just waiting for Canada to shut off the power to US

Unfortunately Trudeau has decided to step down. Had he shown our people this side of him years ago I’m sure he’d be seen in a different light and would never have made the decision to step down as PM. Great work PM Trudeau ??

I'm with you if you'll have me, Mr Prime Minister.

I'm American and I stand with canada...dumbnald trump is dumb

I'm not sure what's more embarrassing the fact that this guy is a world economic forum puppet or the fact that most you reading this won't even know what that means....NPCs

I'm American and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine ...God help us

I'm really sorry for the US citizens to have now their worst president ever, and to be friend with (just imagine..) PUTIN !!\nStanding with Canada and Ukraine!

Go Canada, the UK is with you. I'm sorry for the decent Americans caught up in this. Please fight to remove this vile regime from office. Trump, Vance and Musk are a dream for Russia and other dictatorships.

I'm an American. I'm so embarrassed about how our country is being run. Canada, I'm with you 100%. You do what needs to be done, even if it makes my life more difficult.

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

I’m with you Canada. Shut the power off. MAGA is destroying the USA day by day and they need to feel it.

I’m in Buffalo too Wolf, many of our independent shops import from Toronto. I could have never imagined a president of ours attacking our great neighbors in Canada. Trump has brought shame and hard times on us all.

A real leader in a responsible country, as an U.S. citizen I’m envious

You all are having a cock fight while the people will suffer with the spike of prices. Guess I’m going on a fucking ramen diet. ?

As a European, i'm thinking now that USA is no more an ally, but at the best an unreliable partner.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

I'm South African and tredua a poes?

I'm british and was giving trump the benefit of the doubt but then he picked on Canada(we have the same head of state) and today his vice president started bitching about the british military, seems he forgot about the over 630 troops that came back in body bags after Britain stood right next to the usa after the new york attack. I'm feeling a bit low even though he's not targeting us. Allies should stick together

I’m amazed. Did The Wall Street Journal really call Trump a ‘smart guy’ !

Thank you to all you idiots that didn't believe in project 2025!!! I'm with Canada ?? , Mexico ?? and Ukraine ??

Guys, I looked at the GDP of Canada and Mexico on Google. About 2 trillion each. The US has 27 trillion. I'm not Canadian or American or Mexican, I'm just wondering: do these countries have anything to counter Trump with?
