I did not vote for Trump but I am a shame that Trump is president. Trump purposely destroying Biden’s “Build Back Better” he aligned with Putin. Trump staff Is part of Project 2025. These are the people who wanted a tax break, on the backs of the American people. Prime Minister Trudeau is not our enemy and I accept what he is forced for the Canadian people. We need to vote wisely to end Trump’s dictatorship and there will be 3 seats up in Congress in April.

Dear dear people of Canada if any of you read any of these comments I want you to know that there are A LOT of us who are ABSOLUTELY NOT happy, about anything that this man\n who has been elected president, is doing. There are some of us who had definitely considered asking Canada for a dual citizenship. But this, I discovered is not an easy process ? we are so sad and sorry that a portion of our citizens were able to vote this man back into the White House. All we can say is, Dear Lord, please rescue us from this horrible situation ???

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

I am a Black American. 90 percent of my people didn't vote for this. I stand with Canada. lol

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

Unfortunately many people here voted for the Clown and they (and by osmosis) Canada got THE WHOLE DAMN CIRCUS....these voters have to be proud now.

smh can’t believe the people voted for this man this is just a little of the repercussions of his actions.

As an American, I want to apologize for a man I didn’t vote for but is bringing your people harm, hate and I am proud of you Canada and your people.

And he doesn't use a teleprompter. I have no empathy for those who voted for Trump. They are the true enemy of the people.

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

this bloke is a fool , the woke nonsense and his stand with EU in conflict with russia is foolish at best . people are very emotional in their comments , take all that away and look at the facts leading up to all this , why trump was voted in , all the government waste they are uncovering , the social engineering under the dems through USAID , i stand with trump and what he is trying to undo.

Go Canada, let him have it. Know that most Americans don’t support his actions. More than half of us DID NOT vote for him, and those that did likely had no idea what tariffs were or certainly didn’t understand how they work. Though I didn’t vote for him, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry to the entire world for the horrible decision so many people in my country have made.

Well spoken Trudeau. Its now up to the American people to remove the government it voted for

Why the fuck would people vote him out…

I love Canadians. They are sweet, kind, funny, hard working people. I have worked with them plenty. I apologize to our Northern neighbor, and I am so, so sorry this ugliness is being thrown at you. I did not vote for it and never have supported the rapist, felon. Trudeau is an example of a good, stable (Genius...ha ha) leader, who is speaking clearly with adult vocabulary, who is not out to injure anyone yet who is standing up strong for his own people. Him speaking directly to US citizens made me tear up, if only we had this kind of leader.

Trump is thinking way beyond a trade war…it is way more destructive…..prepare to stay the course…for ALL …that this despicable act brings…never never ever give up. Appeasement only makes the aggressor stronger. Apparently this what the American people voted for???

American people have voted for their DICTATOR! IMPEACH TRUMP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU

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.

Agent Orange openly and repeatedly says he ADMIRES N Korea’s Kim author of one of the most hellish deathscapes the world has ever seen. Literally starving the N Korean people to death. And Trump again recently said he wanted that same kind of authority over “my people.” And yet a majority of white Americans voted him in anyway. How spiritually lazy and morally bankrupt we have become. All support to Canada and Ukraine and ZERO for Putin and Kim.

I hope Canadians know that only 77 million people voted for Trump in a country of 335 million people!! That means 76% of us DO NOT support his madness!! Apologies to Canada & ALL of our allies!! Trump is a RUSSIAN asset & asshat!!!! We have been infiltrated.

Here's the view from over in Scotland. It seems that people who cast their vote for Trump are going to have to learn the hard way. Canada is not going to be Trump's Ukraine.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm angry and disgusted by my country's government, whom I did not vote for. Unfortunately, you are correct that the trade war and POTUS allying himself with Putin will harm lots of Americans -- and Ukrainians and many other people worldwide.

Putin has Trump by his pu***. We the people like Canada and Ukraine we don't like putin Russia. F Russia. Trump is a Russian puppet. Wish I would of voted for camel Harris. Trump is a chump

Bottom line is Trump & Vance & the people who voted for them are complete idiots. Easing sanctions on Putin? Saying Ukraine started the war? Next Trump, mirroring his buddy Putin being in office since 1999, will try to stay in office for years & years.

This is so embarrassing ?.... Canada doesn't deserve it & the people don't either! Makes 0 sense what he's doing. I believe he wants all of us to suffer. \n\nHe's chosen Russia over our neighbors. The people voted against their interests. \n\nI'll never understand why people voted for him with what he promised to do. What a mess. Ruining our economy? Makes no sense.

Im impressed MAGA. I didnt think people as stupid as you could exist, then you voted to have your money stolen and given to billionaires and create mass unemployment around the country. Keep up the good work!

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?

Their are some People that voted for Trump that are finally waking up to the reality of the situation I'm keeping my faith that we will over come all this chaos in our country and can get rid of Donald Trump and Elon Musk for good

I think the world of good and democratic people should join together against this tyrannical autocratic and completely lying government of the USA find other trade and manufacturing partners- mineral rights of Ukraine to Canada and Europe…. This mr. trump is ruining our lives - and of course - I did not vote for him….

This has nothing to do with Canada or the Canadian people. This is a pure transactional move because that is how Trump sees things. He needs the money to finance his agenda and he has been told that the money does not exist in terms of what the US Congress can provide. They won't cut military spending and they wouldn't dare touch SS or Medicare. Therefore, Trump is resorting to the only available option which is to have the American people pay for it all and that is what he is doing with these tariffs. He doesn't need to worry about reelection so he couldn't care less how much pain he is inflicting on the very people who voted for him. Elections have consequences.

People who voted for Trump, are you happy? That man is crazy

We the American people voted for this. Trump represents us . And we love it. Tit for tat trump keep it going

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

NOT ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMPFUHER!!! YET WE HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT TRUMPFUHER IS DOING!!!

As a America we have some sorry kiss behind no back bone chicken liver republicans and the gullible people who voted for him. You guys was lie to con and hoodwink. Trump sold a pile dream congratulation

It’s about Donald thinking he’s the smartest person in the room and he’s determined to prove he’s right—no matter what the cost to the American people. 165 million Americans did not vote for him.

I'm so sorry I'm an American and I'm just ashamed as to what's going on and I'm not just one there's millions of people even people who voted for him have changed there . He did not win by a landslide it was really close down to two states. I wish for your country only good things.god bless

je suis français et je suis totalement d'accord avec les decisions de trudeau !\nTrump engrange la dissociation et véhicule le mépris des autres sur la scene mondiale.\ncourage aux americains qui n'ont pas voté pour lui.. l'inflation va être difficile à vivre...\n\n\nI'm french and i'm totally agree with trudeau speech.\nTrump with is speech favorise people division and he conveys contempt at international scene.\nCourage for US people who did not vote for him.\nInflation taxes will be difficult to live with...

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

Do you see what you people have voted for it seems you cut your nose off to spite your face ask your Senators that put the dollar first hell ask your friends that put the dollar first

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

I wish we could make it make sense, most of the country did not vote for him. But too many people who would've voted against him decided to stay home. We can't seem to do a damn thing to change it!

Now that Extortionist/2025 Dictator has Unleashed his Tariffs and saying it's about Fentanyl is just a cover up for Something Devious? I Truely feel that he is doing this to Align himself with Genocidal putin. He doesn't Care about People just like Terrorist putin that marches his own Troops to their Death. AMERICA, WE NEED TO ORGANIZE / PROTEST AND VOTE THIS EVIL EMPIRE OUT!!!!

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

I did not vote for Trump. I'm saddened by this knowing that Canada is of good people.

It’s because Trump wants to break ties with all of our allies, piss them off so he can align with Putin North Korea so he can be a wannabe dictator a wannabe king fascist open your eyes people if you can’t figure out what the hell are you doing? you people shouldn’t be on the air you’re moronsdamn, I can see exactly what he was doing. That’s why he didn’t vote with the dumbass.

What you sow you reap! The Clown and his Circus band of Puppets shows are on the road to create chaos to the American people including the Clowns MAGA cult loyalist! \nHell yeah! Good for you all who voted back the delusional and stupid dumb President ever! \nWhat you sow you reap! \nKARMA!!!??

We don't want this either, but a few dense people voted this foolish wannabe dictator as president so unfortunately we all have to suffer for their stupidity. Trust if I had the financial funds, I'd pack my bags and move to good ol' Canada.
