At this point we need to follow trumps footsteps to save Canada, some people might not agree with but I’d rather not let this country turn to India or some type of Muslim caliphate

It's quite understandable when it seems overnight Canada is invaded by Indians from India! What happened? Did the Canadian borders opened wide for the Indians to march in, or were the immigration staff permanently zonked on marijuana and didn't notice or just couldn't be bothered with stopping them over the last 3 to 4 years? Maybe. But really, the problem was definitely created by that despicable moron Trudeau( who even Trump could say to him in his face when he knelt and begged Trump not to hurt Canada with his tariffs, Trump just say ok if you agree to let Canada be the US's 51 st state!). He must have suffered from a terrible serious attack on his mental faculty and zonked on chanting Hari Krishna simply allowing his goons in charge of immigration to approve to let in that tidal wave of Indians especially in the last 4 years! What to do now? While we hate Trump for what he's doing to Canada on tariffs, Carney should give good thoughts to adopt actions like Trump's ICE GOONS to deport those who entered Canada illegally, and stop extension of visas to the zillions admitted on temporary work visas, and the tens of thousands of students who registered as "student" on student visas in private unregistered/approved institutes in name, but are actually working in various jobs illegally e.g. construction, etc.

Look at what is happening. Europe is welcoming Canada into their trading block with open arms. Where is the US turning to? Russia. The irony is that Putin hates the West, always has , and he hates the US in particular. I agree with Clark. Trump’s getting played and he doesn’t even know it. He’s got a lot of $$ in Russian banks and is in Putin’s pocket. When are the Dems going to get loud and get rid of this guy? He is definitely compromised.

Fantastic speech and completely agree. From Australia, we are aghast at what trump is doing.

My dream is that Canada would join the United States to create a super power like no other. But I don’t agree with how Trump is trying to force their hand. God bless EVERYONE.

I agree with some things Trump is doing. But fighting with foreign nations is not one of them. Canada even agreed to invest a billion dollars to fixing the border drug issues. But that doesn’t seem enough for Trump still.

Trump wants peace with putin that's well okay but some old friend doesn't agree to that ! So \nAmerica ❤ Russia VS other countries who were not willing to be friends with them which means no peace

Calm down Canada. Trump ain't playing and I for one agree that y'all have literally skated through life. Skate away big boys. Uuuuuuu! Who are you threatening? FFS!\n\nAnyway, I'm in Kenya worried about police killings and such...?

As a Republican... I agree with many things our country needs, like tougher border security and a crackdown on the government. I do not agree with tariffs to Canada, especially them. They have always stood side by side with us. The American taxpayers will pay the tariffs. Globalization is to limit our opportunities. Trump needs to think it through.

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

So Trudeau is tougher than Zelensky - I doubt it [If Fentanyl is the main issue here why doesnt he agree to Trump and stop it at the Canadian border]

I may not agree at all with his Gender ideology, but I agree with everything that Trudeau says. I apologize on behalf of the US, Trump the A$$ hat doesn't speak for me or many others. Please remember were not all brainwashed. I understand why your doing this, don't back down.

This is all Trump and Musks fault! The majority of americans DO NOT agree with what they are doing!!!

Most Americans don't agree with Trump, we will no doubt see the Dems take over next election. Can't wait for things to get back to normal, I was a Republican until last week.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

I am so sorry we are here. And even though I am an American, I agree with everything he is saying except describing trump as smart.

President Trump is doing this with his cabinet please do not blame the American people not everybody agrees our president Trump and what he's doing so please keep that in mind

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.

You people do know that the majority of this country does not agree with you right? We support Donald Trump and will stand by him as he makes America better again. We are getting stronger as new companies come in and will put many American workers to work. American workers will produce better products.

I agree that Trump actions is dumb

I certainly hope it doesn’t seem as though all Americans agree with what Trump is doing because many of us certainly do not. He doesn’t understand what the word diplomacy means unfortunately. With inflation rates rising, a trade war is one of the worst possible scenarios, and I agree with the Prime Minister. There are no winners here. Everyone gets hurt.

I totally Agree with Trudeau. Great speech. They want peace, and not Trump.

That’s a guy with nothing but integrity and facts on his side. Agreed with everything … except Trump being a smart guy.

I stand for Canadian. I don’t agree Trump tariff war. Only will ruin US economy. Bring higher inflation.

I agree, wtf Trump. I like the southern border being secured, but why throw Tariffs on Canada? Our ally.

American here. I am angry this is what our leaders are doing and that this is the reality I keep waking up in. I don't agree with what Trump is doing and I stand with our allies, for democracy, and collaboration.

I never wanted Trump to win the election. Unfortunately those of us who don't agree with what's going on in Washington are going to be dragged to the depths of despair due to the lunacy of somebody who, idk how people agree with him, is insane.

Not all Americans agree with Trump

Talks tough in public and agrees to all Trump demands in private. \n\nSome of these Leaders aren't to be trusted.

I agree with Trump

I stand with Trump but… I do not agree with the tariffs on Canada. I do not believe this is a good decision.

Usually I’m not interested in anything this guy says but for once, I agree with everything he said. Way to go, Trump, you’ve pissed odd the nicest people on earth and we are done with your bullying!

I agree totally with Trudeau. Do not support Trump's alliance with Putin. Donald has gone rogue!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

We agree sir. We apologize for our horrible leader Trump. We are doing our best to get rid of him.

Serious question: if we agree that tariffs are a bad idea, a dumb idea, why then do countries targeted by Trump retaliate with tariffs? \nNote I'm not in favour of tariffs.

Trump is just a wicked person - he puts pressure on allies and cozy up to Russia. More troubling is that almost fifty percent of Americans agree with Trump.

Americans who don’t agree with trump should simply boycott American goods

I AGREE with you, Trudeau. Being an American, i did NOT vote for Trump. I'm disappointed by the masses in America that did. Shame on those who wanted (and still believe) Trump.

Another guy who is telling Americans what Americans is going to feel. \nZelensky gave this same speech and now he wants to come back to the table. \nDidn’t Trudeau quit? \nTrump is waiting for the new guy. Didn’t Alberta already agreed partial terms with trump already.

AS a Canadian i know what Trump wants from Canada, To agree he is right about getting out of Ukraine. And i totally agree with him. On Ukraine

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

I hope Canada doesn’t think we agree with Trumps ideas in any way. We should be working together with our fellow countries and standing proud.

Ya know, it’s honestly comical that some many people have these knee jerk responses to anything they deem “negative” STRICTLY for the fact that it came from Trump, and rather know TRULY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING behind the reason why these “negative” things are said or done in the first place… I ASSURE YOU 99% of the people complaining about this Canada tariff don’t know that it’s simply to (essentially) force Canada to agree to ramp up their border DEA enforcement/presence to help cut down on the illegal drug trade (primarily fentanyl) coming into America! If more of these people complaining knew this reasoning behind it, I think that would quite honestly shut a lot of them up! And to be completely honest with you, that failure falls on NO ONE MORE THAN THE JADED MEDIA!! I truly believe THAT is hands down the biggest failure in our nation currently!! The media is HANDS DOWN our biggest enemy so far this presidential term!

Trump and his peeps despise facts, because the facts never agree with them.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Im from Texas. I have never agreed with the policies of Trump. I'll gladly be on the front lines with Canada.\n\nOur country has not only failed us, but the American people that call themselves American. We have turned into a bigger facist nation than Russia. At least some of them go missing for trying to whistle blow on an international level. Meanwhile, we cry to each other internally as if anyone has the balls to stand up
