I'm not a fan of Justin Trudeau by any means, HOWEVER... Hearing his speech just now filled me with pride to be Canadian and standing up to the new autocratic fascist government of our southern neighbour. I've watched over the last +/- 40 days the UnUnited States of America devolve into Russia's lap dog, with Putin's excrement on Orange Man's face on a near daily basis. I hope that whatever good people left down there can rise up and take back their country ASAP, otherwise the entire world will suffer the catastrophic consequences!

America has been FLEECED by the rest of the world for too long . NO MORE!!!

Amazing, a World leader that stands up to the thug known as Trump, if only America politicians showed such leadership America would not be in the mess they are in now, Trump will be know as Passion Fingers, because everything he touches he FU#KS

Trump Attitude is ? world that needs America and America needs no one but its self and thinking only of its self. think he's in for rude-awaking. He's playing into china & Russians hands

I stand with Canada, love from England. America has never been so alone, you voted in a traitor to democracy, and you have sold out your national pride to the USSR. \nThe new North Korea of the western world.

I used to be a huge fan of America. I truly believed it was the world’s policeman, the guiding force for justice and freedom. I looked up to the country, admiring its strength, its values, and the way it stood for what was right. I even wished my own country could be more like that. \n\nBut America is no longer what it once was. It’s heartbreaking to see how a once-free and hopeful nation has transformed into something so divided, hostile, and unpredictable. A country that once stood by its friends now turns its back on them. A nation that once fought for unity now thrives on division and conflict. \n\nThere are still many good people in America, and the country is not beyond hope. But deep down, every American must realize—this is not the right path. This is not who you are meant to be. \n\nWake up before it’s too late.

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

The Tump/Putin cult will destroy America and a stable world in order to create an oligarchic world order.

All of Americas long standing allies now have to communicate with the president like police negotiators . Careful not to upset his fragile ego while he’s demanding a billion dollars and a helicopter. What a sad, incredible situation the world is in.

Russia should take it's old soviet satellite countries. China can have Taiwan. America unites the contenent. Canada and Mexico become the new US territories. This is the new world order to come. You can't fight the future. Resistance is futile.

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.

Trump and MAGAism won't last for ever. The real problem is that the longer this madness continues, the longer the US will take to get back it's power and influence. The rest of the world understands that the problem comes from an incapable and illiterate leader but it also understands that this could happen again. America might take decades to regain trust. The longer MAGA dominates the American people then the longer it will take America to rise back to it's former status. It is so very tragic. When America rises from the fire, and it will rise , it will be a phoenix of pride and right, but it will be a proud and righteous bird with one wing.

As a Canadian, I can assure America that, even if or when these tariffs are removed, we will never forgive or forget the base treatment we have received from our former closest friend. The free world is not blind. They can see what America has done to its closest ally. Splendid Isolation will once again be enjoyed by Americans but this time it will be initiated by the free world.

Trump is going to totally destroy America in the end because the whole world can no longer trust America at all now

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

America has gone rogue Donald Trump, and JD Vance are Traitors to democracy to their own people the free world it's sickening that the American public could be juped like this for your own good we in the West must stand our ground to this.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

When will countries realize America is the friend to NO one. America has always been a bully, a war monger and enjoys war profiteering. America is designed to create instability and war in regions all over the world with the sole purpose of American domination, power and control. The world needs to move away from America with harsh sanctions.

We have a president who cares abour the economic state of our country and the morale of its blue collar worker. Our country has been ripped off by people abroad and internally. This is pressure on all governments we do business with for equal trade. We are forcing countries to become more self reliant. Each country needs to become the greatest version of itself unfettered by people dictating laws that enrich themselves at the behest of its citizens. We elected trump to tear down the old, fix the waste, weed out the greedy players taht dish out our money and get kickbacks. Thats all. America is about to become super self reliant and bring back an early 1900s boom. We can no longer be the piggy bank of the world.

Sims to America, Amerca, we are losing the World power, World leadership, mostly our many many years of great friends from Europe, Asia, and all round the world. Even our neighbor Canada and Mexico. World need Peace, World need harmony. Peace and Love!

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

If I were Donald Trump, like Biden I will help Ukraine because it is a threat for the whole world and bad for envoirment. Why africa, India and South America (with many states) didn't help Ukraine in a huge wage and military? Europe helps UA because there will lose friends(even USA) and Rusia is a threat for them.

You get the government you deserve. I blame the American voters that put this lunatic in power, and his supplicant MAGA GOP. Hurting our best and biggest allies, and realigning with an evil dictator, Putin is the recipe for disaster for America. Russia is not the world power it once was, but that is the aim of Putin to revive the old Soviet Union. The EU will stand up for Ukraine, with the rest of the world. Then, the U.S. will be left with broken alliances, and only the axis of evil as friends.

Trump . Hey I know how we can all get rich. World leaders we are all in. America raise its Tarrifs everyone else raises their Tarrifs. Only Americans , Canadians and Mexicans pay the price . Not the Billionar oligarchs in control of are govronments ! Everyone in the US Congress are multi millionaires. Including Trump and Musk. They don't give one fuck about raising prices or inflation ! It just makes them richer.

The world sees America as an embarrassment and they prove us right everyday. Go buy your oil from Venezuela now

I am an American and I support America and her people. If people would support their OWN COUNTRY the whole world would be better. Pay the usa what you owe us Canada china Europe everywhere

I am an American and I stand for America!!! Time for American politicians that we vote into office to take care of America and not get sucked into taking care of our countries around the world with American citizens hard earned tax money, NO MORE - MAGA (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is just a liar. These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s all comes from trump having no clue what running a country requires do he is just acting like a tuff guy to assuage his ego. He only ran to stay out of prison. Facts matter \nLike the fact there was 14000 deaths last year from fentanyl in USA. Not 10 million. Fact In the last 10 years there has been 1.1 million deaths. Also only 0.01 % comes across the Northern border. We will deal with Europe and Asia and leave America alone like the rest of the world.

As much as this might hurt me as an American, Trudeau will always have my respect for standing firm against our enemies and calling out the harms that Trump is causing to America and the world. Trudeau speaks truth and that is admirable.

Everyday it passes the world's love for America grows rises... NOT!

A brilliant speech. Honest and forthright. But lets get to the nitty gritty. It's about time the rest of the world realized that life does not revolve around the USA. There is NATO and even though political views differ there is a union to assist each other. America is on the path to a Dictatorship. Trump has the means and the backing to do it. If he gets his third term this will become a reality and there appears no one is prepared to stand in his way.

We have to realise Trump has aligned itself to Russia,therefore America is the enemy of the free world.

Watching this is amazing. I'm no fan of Trudie, but right now he's doing alright.\nI hate to tell the Americans watching, we did try to tell you and personally I feel for less than half of your people. The fact that the blue leaning public had to so dumb as to use THIS election to show your dissatisfaction with Biden and Harris is leading many people around the world to wonder if America is even worth worrying about at all. How can you's be this stupid you're no better than the MAGA crowd.

Trump, a criminal convicted of sexual abuse, embezzlement, wants to show the world what a good president America has

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

I really want to be a part of Canada. They have the most educated culture and the largest middle class in the world right now. And I respect them as a people. Damn in America, what the hell is wrong with us? Our people are so ignorant that we think that the Richard just took over who very clearly have been doing as harm for 50 years are going to solve our problems by alienating us from the world and costing us more money? And firing us in mass? doesn’t anybody read history? This is not new. This is a classic playbook. It sucks for the general population. Most of us are the general population. That means that the people who are supporting this most of you are dumb. No matter what era that has existed there have always been workers against worker rights and thank God they lost because we would be worse off if they’d won. It sucks as they hold us down while we bring them up every single time. I’m real sick of the naysayers.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

Trump is an ENEMY to the well being of the United States and the world. He is NOTHING but a Putin puppet, and he's going to destroy America's economy. WHY are we allowing it?

Sock it to them Canada.let the free world boycott America until it gets itself a proper head of state

Greedy people have been taking advantage of the US for far too long. You all want to sell to America, but don't want to share any of the profits with America, or give jobs to Americans. Plus you want us to pay for everything that has to do with world peace. It is you who are deranged. Not Trump.

No fan of his but well done…. America will be a pariah in the world soon not a power a country no one want

Fact Trump wants to take over America lions with Russia take over the world.

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Putin wants democracy to suffer and be weakened everywhere in the world. . his bootlicker in the presidency judges loyalty as a primary value, and knows full well how Russia helped him get elected the first time and then again. combine that with a love for dictators, and I fear America will never have another free and fair election.

Everyone around the world - batten down the hatches!!! Evil America on the loose!!!!??????

Done with America!!!...\n\nFentanyl HAS NOTHING to do with these Tariffs\n\nIts a SHOW for Russia ...\n\nRemember his PRIVATE meeting with Putty in Saudi, duh???\n\nYou'll be isolating YOURSELVES!!!!\n\nKing Donald strikes again MAGA\nWhat FOOLS!!!!\n\nPartner with Russia, USA!!!\n\nThe WORLD is a bigger playground.\nYou're OUTNUMBERED!!!

Just curious why so many support Canada as Americans? If you look at the spending and trade throughout the world, America and Americans have been footing the bill for a long time. What exactly is wrong with America putting America first and getting a fair deal with the rest of the world we do business with? It's our taxpayer dollars that fund this and we have been overpaying for decades now. Honest question.

Just end the dollar in the world business.all countries in the world should realise now they must be self sufficient and invest on their own research and develop their equipment to protect themselves without relying on America's

The united states of America always want weakened greatest country in the world . The Americans must think smartly this type action is the same as ?action?
