Says the disgraced leader who had to resign

Kudos to the Canadiens, the last remaining grown-ups in North America. I am sorry about your neighbour who for all intents and purposes have become a semi-fascist banana republic. Just know that you have friends in Europe.

I am sorry Canada , Mexico, Ukraine and China that this orange demon decided to do this ridiculous sh....

Trudeau and Starmer are emerging out of leadership crisis.

It makes no sense!??! - American

Just to clarify, I didn’t vote for criminal “Trump” at all. So if ur looking for someone to blame for his victory, u can totally point your finger at the people who actually pulled the lever for him! I mean, come on, didn’t they check the fine print? It’s like voting for a mystery box and being surprised when it’s filled with socks! So, sorry Trump fans, but this mess is all on you! \n“Let America Great My A$$ again”

As a diehard Rush fan , I stand with Canada against Rump 34.

But yet he's the dictator ?

This is the Trudeau i'd re-elect. No reading notes and no ums and ahs, speaking directly from the heart. \n\nKudos ?

The fact that you CNN choose this numbskull to get behind says alot, you guys can have each other. What a joke, seriously laughable!

Fentanyl helped my mom with cancer pain. Then she got better and stopped taking it. Fentanyl sounds great to me. How many other issues does he Kev have need to be removed from the face of the earth that also help us. Not the speech of a thinker.

We Canadians need to rally our provinces to shut off the damn lights. Enough of the talks! Shut it off. Hello to all our American friends!

The FACTS is that there is a HUGE drug problem in Canada worst than the USA! So Canada should STOP fentanyl by all means with a lot of people suffering from addiction

No way it can't be true

American here. We stand with Canada.

As a Canadian, I gotta say that his speech really made me proud to be Canadian and I will always stand up for our sovereignty \n just as my grandparents did.

Donald is working for the enemy, he’s Putin’s puppet!????

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.

Meh HES GAY

Canada is 347 0ut of 348, global container ports, Trudeau stymied growth, infrastructure, and Canadas future, he blames the USA, for his only push three issues, LBGt, carbon tax and Dei... Why no new industries built in Canada, we essentially only sell cars and oil to the USA at 20% discount. Try buying Canadian, but these are all foreign products, because Canadian bureaucracy and poor productivity, ie, unions and government employees all at home. EXAMPLE, after owning hunting rifles for sixty year, Trudeau minions, contacted my at least six time when I attempted to renew my firearms licence, even phoning my wife for a old man... Go figure, Trudeau only knows how to Hire voters... The problem is Trudeau, you voted for it so now you will pay!!!

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

The whole ‘standing with Canada’ sentiments are not needed and actually misdirected. Canadians will be fine. Don’t stand with us, take care of your own bs.

Fantastic speech … I only wish he (and others) would stop using the Russian word ‘tsar’ instead of leader - we don’t want Russian leaders!

God Trump needs to be impeached he’s a terrible President

Trump is a stable genius. Don't believe me? Just ask him. The same guy who threatened lawsuits against his college and high school to prevent them from revealing his grades.

Waiting for Trump to blame Canada for the rising prices in his country

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

Another day of American embarrassment. Like the old days of the New Orleans Saints “the aints”. Brown bag over our heads.

Aye nigga I ain't do this shit

This Guy from Canada call him self the PM, should go back to School of Economics. He is wasting his time to FIGHT WITH AMERICA. U, pls go on with ur PM ship of Canada. ???

Dear Canadians I stand with you. This is beyond shameful and disgusting. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for showing true leadership!

OMG , America is going to be filing BK , Save your money

It's not about fentanyl... It's about annexation. Canada needs to find allies real quick.

From Australia ?? \nWe love Canada ?? \nAnd Support You

Donald. Says it all. A title and respect is earned not granted. Bravo ?

Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

It is really pretty normal for most of europeans to speak at least 3 langauges in mi case I speak and understand almost everything in english, french, portuguese, italian, spanish and a lot of german.\nTrump is really an idiot and ignorant because he just speak english and horrible!!\nHe sounds like a drunk person.

Canada, will you annex Minnesota please? I am embarrassed, disgusted, and ashamed of my fellow Americans that allowed this despicable human to enter the office that we hope would be a leader and an inspiration to the rest of the world. If we have any say about it, he/it wont be there for long.

You're government- Usual suspects

When u light a ? at ur neighbor house thinking it will not affect your house is suicidal.. Trump this is what happens when you don’t understand Global economics….

From Georgia, I stand with Canada!

No it's not about fentanyl!!! He makes stuff up trying to make people believe it's true.

We don’t want this either!!

Wow ???

The politicians have lost and don’t think Putin is our friend… We just want people to stop dying… War is not the answer at this point… Bro thinks the retirement stock market is inflation? ? That explains why sleepy Joe messed it all up. Canada is just mad we don’t want their candy. ? Find business elsewhere where I guess bruh. ? You don’t have to cry about it on TV…

..that egomaniac pig barely got in and imediately do this to its closest partner...is it really necessary?\nif he does it in the beginning..\nthats the kind of character who partner with another dictator...and he will do it to the whole world..each country...along that he's deporting millions of people...\nthats what the public..humanity didnt want to see...what kind of deity protects billionaires and handsome people...to later destroy the rest of the planet?

Hey Trump Dummies...this is what a Level-headed LEADER, that Cares for his country, looks like.

Hope Trump doesn't listen to Andrew Tate pushing him to make this decision.

???

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.
