I wish the left hadn't become so damned Woke. This is the result of their failure to the average American, in favor of liberal wack jobs.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

It makes total sense to me. He wishes to have total economic power over weak countries like Canada.

Lifetime Republican here - until the afternoon of Jan 6, 2021that is. I'm also a disabled US vetaran. I wish our president had any of the strong leadership qualities that Trudeau has. Instead we cose to elect a traitorous grifter intoxicated with power who habitually spews lies that his cult members gobble up like candy. The 2020 election was stolen..yep yep yep, the dictator Zelenskyy started the invasion...yep yep...wait what? Wake Up America!

Sure wish the US republicans president could speak intelligently like Trudeau. Donald is selling out the US!

I wish our leader was more like Trudeau......Trump is a huge liar.....he does not care about the actual people in America!

We have friends and family in Canada. I was in Toronto this past weekend. The friendliest and most decent people you will find anywhere. Embarrassed and ashamed of this administration that we did NOT vote for. I blame half the population of brain dead cultists and ignorant voters. We’re all going to suffer for this. The idiots that wined about their egg prices are going to wish they had Biden back. FAFO jack-offs!

It’s just Donald and his MAGA idiots not most Americans. Good Americans support all our historical allies and do not wish this upon our friends and ourselves.

I'm with Canada wholeheartedly. I apologize for this dumbfuckery, Mr. Trudeau. Every day, when I wake up, I wonder: Is he gone yet? That's my current wish. Trump accused Kamala Harris of wanting to bring the country to World War III, but is he, a FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGER, who is itching to have blood and death at a global level, in his name. He is a shameful loser, and Putin's puppet.❤

I wish he was our president

Great speach, but so sad that it’s needed!? Best wishes from Sweden!

I wish I wouldn't of voted for Trump now. He's turned into a nut.

Thank you for not blaming all Americans for the ignorance of a few! I wish we had the same support from out government ❤ sending hugs from the sane ones in the U.S.

I think I might need to move he is a good Prime Minister I wish he wasn’t leaving the position. This s what a leader looks like instead of that clown we have for a president .

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

There is NO making sense of any of this. Our leadership is simply insane. I apologize for what the administration is doing to you and Mexico, and Ukraine. I wish I didn’t have to live here. I understand your response to this issue.

We live in America /hate America and would rather be somewhere else..preferably Scotland.I wish that this guy was our President.

I wish we had a leader like Trudeau in the US.

I wish CNN would just let the press conference go without the reporters ruining it with commentary

As an American I wish you would rule us. you’re the leader I would rather have over felon trump.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

Fentanyl...don't knock it till youve tried it. I wish someone explained that it's not molly, not weed, not LSD. It takes your soul, fentanyl does. The exact opposite of mine and most people experience with psychedelics. They made sound like death incarnate, like heroin. And when you inevitably try weed, it makes you question the whole thing, which makes sense.

This is what a REAL world leader sounds like. I don't wish I was Canadian, I just wish we had a leader that wasn't a complete immature, imbecile.

We know president Chump is a very stupid person and his best friend muck or lying and stealing our money and do all there doing for the millionaires and they don’t care how where are doing. So Canada and Mexico do what you have to do and maybe we can throw him out of office. Best wishes

3:46 Wish Trudeau was our President. He has a plan and speaks clear and well spoken. We pray for you and your people. We have a man that doesn't really care about our country.

I used to be proud to be American. Now I wish I lived in Canada ? Our country sucks right now

Love Trudeau I wish he was our President

Wish we had a president as eloquent as Trudeau… why are we stuck with this orange clown… America deserves better ..

We wish we could Justin, we wish we could ?

Let's go maga lmfao. You morons wish you would have biden back in office.

As an American...I wish we had PM Trudeau as our President

I wish I was Canadian!

Rational, logical, and concise leader surrounded by a competent team. Wish we had that in the USA… (Note: I watched this cogent speech. I will not be watching the orange toddler’s clown show tonight.)

The stupidity of trump is incompetent for him to take sides with Russia over our allies will weaken our country and maybe allow our real enemies to invade our country because of his actions getting rid of people who have experience and knowledge in the job they been doing for years all this action just to be able to get close with Putin to be a dictator also in a country that has been free for over 250 years I want to see if people that support him and the republican will agree with him over the wishes of the American people.

I wish we had somebody like Prime Minister Trudeau in the US Government instead of what we've had (OK, a couple weren't so bad).

I wish America had a leader as good as Trudeau.

American here. I wish we could have the same level of leadership as Canada.

I’m glad a foreign leader came out and spoke to MAGA directly. Ask other Americans speaking them has not worked. I wish more would do the same

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

I wish Canada would make us a new province

I wish Trudeau was our president. He doesn't lie, cheat, or hurt HIS country. I am also sad that Trudeau will soon not be the Prime Minister of Canada.

I only wish my country, the US of A had a leader as articulate and intelligent as this man.\nTrump is a humiliation to this country. He is scum. \nI am so ashamed that half my country voted him into office.

I really like what this guy has to say I wish we had leaders like him he seems pretty damn good

man, dont you wish we had a president like Trudeau.

Wow wish he was our President !

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

This jerk is making a big mistake. If I were trump I would spend the next 4 years manufacturing everything Canada imports and wish them luck?

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

All I got to say is i wish Trudeau's father was in power right now, then the amaricans would be eating all the crow they made.
