How about most Americans back President Trump if you guys don’t care about the fentanyl killing our people that’s on you but we do in whatever it takes to stop that we’re going to do

everyone wants our money and gets angry when they dont get it, WE ARE IN DEBT. we are trying to solve the debt and not just continually give aid to be people that dont need it. Work for your own country and help your own country thrive, be independant like the canada you want to be. stop being a leech.

Stop the conspicuous hypocrisy. You cannot be against Russia and side with Israel at the same time. If you cared about a nation's sovereignty and their people, you should be condemning Israel for unlawfully occupying Palestine and carrying out mass genocide of Palestinians.\n\nThat day will come when Palestine will be liberated and the scandalous Israel bent on its knees.

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

Stop calling it U.S tariffs. Call it Trump tariffs. The U.S. people does not support this.

Mr. Prime Minister. The people of the United States love Canada we would do anything to help stop this. You are our closest✌️ friend and ally for years and years please don’t hold it against us because we have an idiot in the White House. God bless.

President Trump has balls and is playing hard ball with Canada! Time to stop screwing us over! And you should be taking to our government, not the American people, WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT!

The only good speech and common sense Tradeu has ever given make no mistake hes a bad leader and most of canadian hate him... but in the time of need a country most stick together... hopefully now he focus on fixing things with US and stop taxing middle and lower class people

Justin, I will try to make this make sense for you. President Trump is trying to stop you from taking advantage of the US, 'the closest partner and ally.' At the same time, he is trying to prevent people from being killed. Is that really so hard for you to understand??

Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire oligarchs...unlike you who care about the people of Canada, trump does not care, our well being and ability to survive his schemes, taking our tax dollars for his rich friends, do what you must to protect your good people and just come back with humanitarian help for any remaining needs Americans once trump is eliminated!! Go Canada, take care of yourselves at any cost. 49.5% of idiot Americans voted for this situation, so they need to suffer trumps rather before they ta k è action to stop him!

There is a trade deficit where we lose billions of dollars to Canada. People who don't understand all the facts need to stop. He's just been exposed, and like the criminal Democrats of the United States, they will never admit it, they just keep digging in their heels.

Welcome to the Axis of Evil, morons. If you think people around the world will just stop buying Teslas, think again.

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

They are all caught trap by the Ukraine propaganda!! Think about why and how war start!! Think about the past admin of US giving tons of budget to Ukraine without anything in return!! That was an American tax Money that just wants to take back. The comedian President of Ukraine rally for the money support and nothing in return?? This must be stop because American people will be in the edge of losing!! Step out of American soil if you don’t defend the nations interest!!!

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

When will the american people wake up and stop their president and vice president taking their country down? The world can't believe how americans now lack the courage to do anything and defend their own values against a dictatorial president.

Trump and the oligarchs aim is trying to destroy our country. They are tearing our country apart, by musk firing millions of workers and shutting down all our agencies. The people need to rise up in the millions to stop this madness.

President zelensky is ready to sign a deal on the rare earth minerals, and Trump has stopped aid to Ukraine how terrible is that the country is fighting for its survival so trump this is on you , you own the deaths of the Ukrainian people , from bonny Scotland we support Ukraine

Regardless of what “side” or team your on you have to recognize these politicians are using us as pawns in a war. We are the collateral. It’s a pissing contest and they’re both playing chicken with how much they will let their people suffer in the name of “winning”. Stop glazing these people. Hop off and wipe your mouth. Your guys not better than the other they will both use you as human meat shields to fight their wars.

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

We have a petulant child and his evil sidekick running the country and it breaks my heart that their acts are hurting good, kind people, including our wonderful friends to the north. It is my hope that the GOP will find its spine and do something to stop Trump from further damaging the country, our allies, and the world.

As I have said many times, Trump has opened a big ass can of of worms, you wont stop Armorican drug addicts, there's legal drug labs in the U.S. and the U.S. make fentanyl in the U.S., his on a economic suicide missions, sense his first rodeo, most drugs dont go over a fence, most drugs caught, go through the Legal Ports of entry and most smuggler cought at the legal port of entry are Americans and people who can cross the border legally, not illegally, not illegal aliens nor asylum

Canada ?? don't want to unite bad talk I never see an item that reads made in Canada stop it or your fired killing our people with fetnal

President Trump is the best that happened to people in the world. He is a peacemaker and he tries to stop the bloody clown from ukraine.God bless him,God bless America!

He is not aligning his self with Russia that is a lie watch what you say\nAnd furthermore, you can speak to the American people all you want. We follow our president and don’t threaten us. You’re on your way out the door anyway we will not forget what you did to the truck driver you’re a political pig.\nyou need are 9:02 money we don’t need yours

Why is it so difficult for the Canadian government to stop cooperating with the CCP and end all transaction and trade of fentanyl? Why does the Canadian people need to pay the price for the greed and stupidity of this irresponsible government? Which politician is benefiting from the fentanyl deal? When Canadian politicians are in bed long enough with the CCP, they will work for this communist regime and not for the Canadian people. Trump is certainly looking out for the American people, who is Trudeau looking out for?

Great speech. However Fentanyl must not “be wiped from the face of the Earth”. This opioid is needed to control pain in the dying and patients living with severe chronic pain. Stop the illicit market. Do not deprive people who depend on this effective analgesic.

Why didn’t you do this before the threats of tariffs. Makes no sense. You’ve been in charge for years. Yet only last week did you appoint people to stop the issues that are the talking points. It’s all BS. You’re a clown. A Neo con clown

TV news media channels to stop being over analytical about this. Just cut to the chase and say what this really is and what it really means. To many people still dont understand the underlying point/situation.

This is the same guy that closed peoples bank accounts during covid starving families where truck drivers and farmers couldn't make a living a dictator driven by self power and here we have u.s citizens saying they agree with him and his sugar coating if that's the case move to Canada we have become to dependent on other countries supplying us with what we can produce ourself its time to get back to work made in America for Americans there is nothing we can't do if we come together and stop believing the hype that we need other countries

Twice in a week Trump is humiliated by a world leader, Trump thinking he can be a president of a country like the ceo of a corporation. He blackmails people offering them scraps from the table of his last meal as if they should be thankful. How on gods earth did America vote this clown as it's leader. Putin has spent 3 years trying to get into Kiev and in a few weeks has managed to get into the Oval office of the Whitehouse. I sit here in the UK watching what is going on in America like many around the world cringing and at the same time laughing at how such a scumbag could achieve what he has done. Trump and his arse licking lapdog are making a laughing stock of the US and you seem helpless to stop the shitshow that is coming your way. I feel for you and hope his stupidity will lead to a very quick exit for the now most famous clown in the world.

I am an American and love my country and its people. But TRUMP and Musk and Vance are villains ?! They must be defeated. And they will be stopped. We need to stick close to our neighbors and our friends in the world. Putin is not a friend. I hope our Canadian brothers know we real Americans want cooperation and friendship, not a trade war.

I hope Trudeau says fuck it. Lets save the 1.2 Billion for the people of canada. Forget about the border. Lets the drugs and illegals get in the US and dont stop it. No need for a border plan. We were doing just fine before.

With thos tarrifs war, Trump does typical populistic move. He creates problem, which he will successfully remove in few months, to show American people that he removes tarrifs created by other countries and he is the first to stop tarrif war. He will of course deny that he was first.

Can people start saying the T tariffs instead of American?\nHe does not speak for us. Musk put him in office, and we're trying to raise our voices. Today, he made protests illegal in violation of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. What he did to Ukraine, there are no words. We need help. We really need the world to step in and stop him. He's insane. Thank you.

As an American who not unlike more than half of this country believe this president and his administration are going down a very dangerous path. It feels like a runaway train, why can't we stop it, why can't we remove him, the impending damage that is about to take place seems obvious. This is a democracy but what do you do if the person who was voted in isn't qualified and is hurting not only our people but people around the world? Can you recall a president? What would it take?

Trudeau stop saying the American people Trump is not the democratic president stop saying American people. Just say Trump. Most Americans don't approve. Trump tariffs not the American tariffs. Not our government it's Trump.

Just stop the flow ? It’s a no brainer people! Then tariffs go away, it’s simple DUH ?

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

If drugs are the problem (they´re NOT on the Canadian border), how about if more people in US be responsible and stop taking them !?

I don't think it's gonna be that tough. We in Norway have 25% tariff on pretty much everything, the reality is people pay it. We still import. It's not gonna stop the trading.

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.too bad we didn’t have someone with intelligence and common sense as Trudeau.

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.

Mr Trudeau you are a great leader and unfortunately our country is totally F@$%@D because of one me who is a total Idiot and is destroying the country and I agree with you ?% that Putin is a lying corrupt thug Dictator who needs to be Stopped at all cost and I also believe he has to have sumthing hanging over Trump's head i honestly can't believe he is thst stupid anyways i hope you have woken up the American people and our senate and congress they need to impeach Trump ASAP and have his side kick JD Vance resign before they cuase even more damage you are a true gentleman who Mr Trump should learn a thing or 2 from God bless our Country ?

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

Stop the illegals from coming in then.\n\nSuch a tough guy\nLol\nYour people no what you are
