Sad really. 👋

It's sad and crazy to be an American right now. ?

Dear Canadians: I'm sure Europe will be glad to trade with you. The list of sane, reasonable, democratic partners is growing short, sadly.

It's sad to see Canada suddenly experiencing life with russia at its border (besides arctic)

As an American I am afraid of my government. Our future is bleak and uncertain. I can not do anything due to me being 1 person. I am 1 voice, but no one wants to protest, instead people want to sit and accept it. I do not want this, and I struggle because of the political BS because people are stupid. I do not have the money to relocate my family or I would. This has become a sad and dark part of US history.\nThese tariffs were a result of Ukraine and Trump having an ego trip. Nothing less.\nI will always support my fellow Americans, but there's only so much I will support. I will always support Ukraine Canada and Mexico.

Donald Trump is doing a great job at destroying the U.S. all this time various terrorist groups tried to attack America and failed... when all they had to do was recruit Trump and the deed would've been done without mass casualties ??‍♂️\n\nwhat a sad, sad day for Americans...

It will be a sad day when this man steps down.

Most of the people don’t realize that Trudeau has helped people and businesses during COVID and avoided millions of deaths unlike US. He did really well curbing the inflation by increasing the interest rates and decreasing it back in time, has been polite to all the haters at the same time and brought enough workers into Canada to prosper the country and businesses on the right path. 2/3rd of the Canadian population disagrees, and that’s sad. God Bless Him Forever.

This is why THE WORLD respects Trudeau. Dumb ass Trump thinks he's genius for imposing tarrif's to their long standing economic partners, but he is ACTUALLY DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD to the american people. Countries will tarrif back hurting both businesses and the american people he so wish to give a good life to. They are a bunch of clowns who are basically just giving us good television. Americans are not dumb. Trump will keep on twisting and twising the narrative to sell his side of the story, but it's clear as day that the only back Trump has ever got is Putin's. Sadly, America is becoming a lapdog of Russia under Trumps pretentious leadership.

Very sad moment ?

What Trump has done.has made me ashamed of my government for the first time in my life. Not backing Ukraine means we are no longer leader of the free world, very sad.

You know, as a Canadian, I started to watch this video with just a whole lot of blame and spite for Trump, but who knew that my eyes would well with tears thinking about the sad reality that is the present day (i.e. the detrimental impacts this will have for many and the generational relations that have crumbled).

We, Americans do not believe you any longer! Terrible leadership! Sad for Canadians to have to put up with so much socialism!

This is sad and bad. We are doomed.

you call Putin a lying ,murderous dictator but Neytanyahu the prime minister of Israel who is committing a genocide is an angel .What a joke .An advice look after Canadians because what you have done to this beautiful country is mind blowing and pretty sad .

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

this is funny and sad, right now tromp is such a joke that even mediocre leaders look good

CNN your soo sad lol

Sadly, I was Very Startled by This Trade War. This is Very Unecessary!!! Canada Is America's Closest Neighbour, How can President Trump even think of doing this to Canada??? I am TREMENDOUSLY DISAPPOINTED with DT!!!!! This is not the way to treat your Neighbour and Allie. Shame . . . Shame . . . . SHAME On Him!!!

Canadians are kind and considerate, sadly Trump isn’t

I have never been more ashamed to be an American. I have never wanted to be Canadian more. Sadly, at my age and lack of wealth, I cannot become Canadian.

Hello Canada from Denmark. I am sad to see the unfair way the US is treating your country, and I am sure it will soon come to Europe too. But it will also hurt the Americans, that is for sure. It is sad because many of us have always been pro-America. But it should not be like that anymore, and believe me it will get worse. The Americans have elected a mad man with no scruples to dictate their country and we must find others to do business with instead, because it is too dangerous that America has all that power

Just a simple woman from Germany speaking here. I am just sad. What is going on in the world ? one „president“ destroys friendships and alliances, decades old, in weeks. So sad.

Sadly the plan for Russia ?? and China ?? it’s going well , Division among America's allies , Dividing America's allies and igniting hatred between them is what America's and Europe's enemies, China, Russia and North Korea, want. This is exactly what they want to eliminate America, which is America's isolation from its allies, Canada and Europe, for the success of the plan of China, Russia and North Korea, America is in danger, gentlemen. Making its allies like Canada and Europe abandon it will push America to confront Iran, China, Russia and North Korea alone. This is a hellish plan by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. America is finished. Trump is a businessman, not a politician. We want to unite America's allies, not divide them. Trump will lead us Americans to hell.???????????????

Bravo Justin Trudeau! Thank you for speaking out and telling the truth. Eloquent speech. I regret that our current president is turning against our longtime ally that has always stood bt our side and fought with us. This is a very sad day for America. Your speech was unfortunately cut you off when you started to speak in French. J' aurais préfereé écouter le discours en français. J'adore le Canada. J'ai peur que nous soyons en train de perdre la liberté de nos citoyons! ??

As a Mexican/American citizen, I stant with you Canada ?? ❤??.\nWell said !!!! We love you!! So sad what is happening to the whole world is such a short time for a .... person.?

Why is Trump doing this to our closest ally? It’s sad

I need to move to Canada. Serious question, how does a US Citizen become Canadian resident? US is falling apart, no longer a place I love. It's so sad.

Sadly, it's not you, it's us. I hate how we're trampling on previous agreements and throwing our allies under the bus. I couldn't agree with you more, Prime Minister.

The US is isolating itself from the world. It is indeed the strongest and the richest country. But the decisions, the current admin has made will damage the United States. Specifically the people of the estates with or without knowing, they will pay for the cost caused by the wrong decision made by MAGA. This is really sad to see how they divide themselves and the world. Only a few of idiots has gotten so much power to harm normal people who are only interested in living a peace and happy life with loved ones or their own family but now their suffer just started.

Sadly Taiwan just backed down and gave Trump whatever he wants. TSMC pledged 100 billion US dollar investment in the US to produce and research the most advanced chips in exchange for empty promise from Trump. Our government is spineless.

Sad that Justin Trudeau has become a good Prime Minister now that he is leaving.

As a German citizen: our US friends make me so sad and scared at the same time. After our people were defeated, we learned (at least for many of us) where nationalism and hatred can lead and how important international cooperation is. You were our friends as the Canadians were and are. Please come to your senses dear US friends. Underneath all the bad, I hope that the Canadian-European partnership can continue to grow

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

I hear you and are with Canada, europe and Ukrain - and the rest of the peace loving world… Unfortunately this does not include USA anymore…. So sad, but this is all due to the insanity of Trumph

From Indonesia, honestly I wanna see both leaders of canada and AS once again sit and wisely talk to solve out these issues...you all our idol and role models but what happening now is sadness❤

I’m Canadian and I’m sad. Sad because of the government pitting Americans against Canadian citizens. ????

Trump could careless his pockets run deep his family is set for life. We the people are the ones that are gonna feel the burden. Yet there are those that believe he is doing the right thing it’s sad to see how unprofessional our government is at this time and age

Am I the only one thinking that we had a good PM, and media really manipulated popular opinion as to which he had to stand down? i mean look at what is going on down south, when emotions are allowed to rule? Trudeau wasn't doing anything wrong, he just go chopped for nothing... sad

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

It's sad the MAGARATs are too stupid and ignorant to realize the tariffs would hurt them the most. Their poor and uneducated souls soon will be homeless by supporting a convicted conman.

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

He behaved like a politician, all emotional knee jerk reactions are from upper grass mongers , sadly majority in the society are filed with such people. \nDevil is always in the details. His local reputation is not good and to loose upcoming elections , to divert and shift focus, this is an attention diverting tactics to shift attention and make him look like a hero. \nIf he really cared for his people, he would have either prevented it by aggressive backdoor talks or, or if this happened without his awarness then he could have spoken privately to Trump to sort it out in the real interest of his own nation, cut the ego for Good of his own people and an sort it out , why he did not do it ?\nNow by publically engaging and directly targetting, he has achieved two things 1. temporary fame as majority of people are upper grass mongers are emotional but no attention to details 2. He spoiled further his relationship with Trump administration by this public spat, rubbing him on the wrong side, spoils future of his own people. Diplomacy is done by maturity not by ego.

What a sad little character Trudeau is. Like a stray poodle in the rain. What were Canadians thinking ever voting for this has been party clown. You almost deserve what’s coming to you with this trade war. It’s gonna wreck your economy

I respect Canada love there country... this is sad for the us

Sad

It's sad and disgusting that Trump is pitting allies against each other. Trump has betrayed Canadians and for that matter Americans too.

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

This is so sad. Unfortunately Trump's followers are not watching this. They're being brainwashed by FoxNews. They watch no other channels.
