I, an American dont want this either. Further , i did not vote for this tangerine turd. He is no good for America and the world as a whole.

Sir, Mr Canada, I agree with you... we are in a stinking place! ? Drugs are certainly stinking and circulating strongly! There would be no drug movement without buyers!

WE ARE NOT LIKE HIM! Please know that, Canada! We are HORRIFIED. MANY MANY MANY of us did not vote for him!!!

Canadians fought and died with the U.S. in both world wars and Iraq, bailed us out in many natural disasters including both sets of recent California wildfires, and spent billions trying to improve their relationship with America… and this is how Trump supposed to repay them? Allies indeed.

When shopping at Costco today, bought not a single American product. ?

Trump wants our minerals and our oil and gas he’s deplorable

Canada took the wrong side ?

TR?MP

Trump is a traitor to the free world! Good for you Canada.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

Good luck! You're screwed!

Thank you emphasizing the role of municipalities in this. Unlike other jurisdictions, in Canada municipalities are responsible for all transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure with the exception of major provincial highways, airports, and electricity and gas distribution systems. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities can only levy property taxes and no income or sales taxes. Thus, Canadian municipalities governments are very attached to property owners, leading to the political conditions that make housing harder to build and new housing more expensive. The vast majority of the policies restricting housing supply and increasing costs of new housing, like development charges on new homes to fund infrastructure instead of taxing existing property owners, onerous and restrictive zoning regulations, and slow and expensive permitting processes all come from the cities. Honestly, for many city politicians it is to their advantage to make the crisis worse. Why wouldn’t a city councillor vote to raise development charges on building new homes instead of raising property taxes on existing homes to pay for stuff like replacing life expired sewer and road and subway infrastructure!? His constituents aren’t going to care about the costs of new homes, which affect people moving to the city or younger generations, which are either not yet residents of the city or too young to vote.

Great speech ?????

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

Brilliant statesman! Thank you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

i feel like a proud Canadian right now but I'm American and stuck with the musketeer and his trumpet

Thank you President Trump. Standing up for US taxpayers.

Treadu ?

So, it's the World Vs the USA/Russian coalition ...\nGood job Trump, you fucked your country!

Trump make American fail ?

This American stands proudly with ?? Canada!!!!!

Americans, watch as our lives become more and more and more expensive...a direct contradiction to what Trump promised. Treating our North American ally in this fashion is beyond outrageous!!!!

Prime Minister, many, nay most of us, don't want this either. Thank you.

Trump will have to give in or back peddle on tariffs. He's too dumb to figure what tariffs will do to the American people but was probably talked into this by other MAGA politicians as they are pretty damn ignorant.

Would love to keep good relations with our US neighbours and friends.unfortunately the President of the United States has decided that’s not as he would put it, in the deck of cards he’s playing with.?????????

I hope Justin Trudeau comes back as leader of the Liberals in Canada. Of course he has to do some reflection as to where he might have gone wrong, and to learn from his mistakes. Perhaps learn how to make better decisions in the interest of Canadians. It's brilliant the way Trudeau is handling these crises for his country created by none other than thug, convicted felon/rapist/liar/insurrectionist Drumpf. Justin Trudeau is an educated man who speaks two languages fluently. Drumpf on the other hand is poorly educated and can hardly speak one language which is supposedly to be English. Drumpf can only yell, lie, slander and insult. What an oaf

?

Bernie Sanders would have beat Trump\nI never seen Trump beat a man?

Trump is a moron! I didn't vote for him, and I don't know why any of my other country men & women did. It's a vote against our own best interests!

And most Americans are just sleeping on it and believe it will make America great again. Donald Thump is trying to take USA as his own. He will rewrite the constitution to allow him to stay in power for many many years just like Putin and Xi Jipeng. He know well once he step down. He will be jailed due to his criminal cahrges. So he will stay in power for as long as he want now

10% tariff on Canadian oil = 10% increase in American gas prices.

God bless Canada ?? my beautiful country.

Canada + Europe = true ❤ Let's get the trade agreements going and leave the nutcase Trump in the dust!

Well if Trump crashes the US economy then like… Liz Truss as prime minister in the UK he should resign as president… which then takes America from out of the frying pan into the fire with president Vance… and if he ever becomes president, I would say world war 3 will be inevitable.

Impressive. CNN has 35,000 viewers and manages 66,000 comments.

Blame Canada!!!!

He talks like a super villian from a movie

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

This is how a leader speaks! Props to Canada!

You need to stop watching the mainstream media! Perhaps then you would know what the facts are! \nOops, nevermind, you know the truth, you're just too disgusting to speak it!!!

Please dont apologize to the Americans for this. We should be the ones to apologize for trump. He is an embarrassment and a foolish bully. Thank you for all your help in the past. Hopefully this resolves itself in the future.

You can tell that he's pissed because he doesn't wanna do it. It hurts everyone.

Thank you Canada! We appreciate your sanity!!

JT is speaking thru the heart ❤️ he’s not reading notes or reading from the prompter ????????
