I thought Canada fired this bum...\nGet the Hell outta here ya bum!!

I thought this pssy resigned?

Who is this prick i thought he got thrown out of parliament????

Thought this man was stepping down and not liked in Canada Everyone should get the facts This man said No to closing our borders are you Americans are not this man was letting Illegal immigrants through on the Canadian side SCREW TRUDEAU

He is completely correct. I stand with Canada. \n I never thought I would ever see the day that our Canadian brothers would suffer from us like this. I want to cry !! ???????????

I’ve been more afraid of being an American Citizen than I’ve ever thought conceivable. But more so I’m ashamed, ashamed that my fellow citizens voted in that monstrosity and his bottom feeder cabinet members and ‘friends’. Ashamed that the rest of us didn’t apparently work hard enough to keep him out.

I thought he quit?

Thank you to all of you taking the time to send your supportive thoughts and words.\nWe so didn't want our hand to be forced :(\nWe need to unite as North Americans, this is senseless and so divisive. Sad ?

Looking forward to when US pumps run dry. It is only Canadian oil that many US refineries can use to make gasoline. Time for CANZUK +EU. The USA cannot be relied on. Never thought I’d see the day the US turned to the dark side.

I thought he stepped down

Why are still there, Trudeau? I thought you stepped down. The US does not need any of your resources, nor your BS. Go home, and let someone with common sense stand up and speak.

Lol they thought trump was playing with them . Boy oh boy play time is over

I was a trump supporter from the uk and thought he would be a good thing because of all the corruption and not caring about its people that was going on from biden . just like whats happening in the uk not giving a dam about its people from labour But i think trump has done some idiot things backing Russia like there hes best mate doing this to Canada. It seems all trump cares about is money money money and and stabbing hes allies in the back.

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

I thought he had resigned ?

Those of us US citizens who didn’t vote for this knew this was going to happen, but others thought they knew better. If you want to see a circus go to the nation’s capital you’ll see a bunch of clowns there most notable two of the biggest clowns of them all. This is just ridiculous

I thought Canada and the USA got along with each other. Jeeze

Why is this snowflake still on TV I thought he finally quit.

Thought this weak moron had resigned

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

I thought this bozo stepped down!?

Thoughtful leadership, hold the orange felons feet to the fire, it is scary living in the United States currently, hopefully you will take US citizens as refuges if things get as bad as Nazi Germany.

I had always thought Americans prided themselves on being rugged individualists. I see many of you here would blame Canada, shirking responsibility for your shitty little life. \nIf you’ve been handed a raw deal it’s your fault. Not Canadas. Grow a pair of nuts \nFO ??\n????

I seem to remember a certain presidential candidate predicting this and people thought she was exaggerating.....

The current government only cares about their personal bank accounts; they want to destroy true Americans. Trump is not a true American; he is Putin's pet and will follow everything Putin wants. The people who follow Trump are his criminal gang, to fulfill Trump's dream that he is some great gangster. He is not a gangster, he's a con man, lying piece of crap. True Americans are disgusted at the very thought of him; we can't stand to see his face, hear his voice, or hear his name. The American government is destroyed because Trump is in the White House because the stupid people elected him.

being swedish growing up i always had good thoughts about Canada and Australia , and it just got alot bigger for Canada , what a great leader you have.\ntake care of this guy.

I thought this spoilt little child quit.

What a great speech. Balanced, fair and well thought out. Wish we could have politicians of this calibre in the UK.

I thought Canada was wanting to get rid of Trudeau. Didn't he resign?

This speech was so well thought out and articulated that it must have been a foreign language to d*mb Trump. President Musk will have to translate it for him ?

I thought this fairy resigned, I guess he wants to totally destroy Canada before he goes

I thought this guy had to resign! Pretty certain the Canadians don’t care for him and his corruption, but he fits in perfectly with CNN and the content they provide. No truth here. No transparency, and certainly not going to act in the best interest of his people.

I thought this dope resigned.

I thought you Canadians ran this guy off already.

Nore do we! And thank you for the thoughts!

This is how a Statesman addresses his nation and the world.\nThe eloquent and thought gone into this speech.\nCanada, you are deep in our thoughts here in the UK.\nYou are our nearest cousins and will always be.\nThe world is a dangerous place at the moment, thanks to Donald Trump and his vice-president.\nBut they have no idea or understanding of 20th century world history.\nMr Trump, take a look at Germany 1930s...

i thought canada ousted this fool

We need a leader like this! There is no legitimate reason for the tariffs. I now believe Trumps goal is to annex Canada. At first, I thought it was a joke, but not anymore. Stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico!

Wow!! American here. Refreshing to see real leadership. Absolutely disgusted with my piece of crap president and his little pet JD Vance. Never in my 48 years did I think I would see the day our president craps all over our allies. Worse yet, never thought I would have a president that is selling our country and our allies out to Russia. Pray in the American people stand up and say enough is enough

I thought this guy quit?

I never thought I would be ashamed of being an American

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

Trump is the best Putin asset to split the west in parts, its getting ugly, I never thought to see that in my lifetime, its UGLY.

I’ve been opposed to Trudeau since he came into power. I’ve always thought of him as a deluded maniac. But this speech was really impressive…. Well done.

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

I thought he step down already..What’s he doing on the screen ?

I voted blue and moved from a red state over to a blue state because I don't agree with conservative republican views. I especially didn't want Trump back in office because I thought he was horrible the first time. My heart sunk after the election because I saw this coming. I'm hoping for some sort of impeachment because dealing with Trump for 4 more years seems unfathomable.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. A well thought out plan on both sides of the border. What’s new?
