Canada is a failing disaster as long as Trudeau and his politics guide Canada. You fools that rally around and support this corrupt governance will get what you think you want. By the time you realize what you agreed to, we won't be able to help you. Biden almost did this country in ( not that he was running the country, who knows who was but he was in the seat), if camela won we would have been screwed. Germany and all of the UK will put people in prison for an unfavorable statement, public prayer is a criminal act in the UK. If this is not Naziism what is? Your countries are collapsing around your feet just as ours was. Pull the chute, people. There is a reason no one wants to live in N Korea.

Well done Trudeau , you are showing your genuine love and character by saying what is right only for the Canadian people and for this very beautiful country Canada. \nStanding with Canadians at this difficult time. Great nations face great challenges and come out of them as united and heads high

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

At this time I wish I was Canadian as I’m ashamed to be an American. trump has ruined this country?

How can the msm and their guests say they don't understand why he's doing this? If you look at every thing Trump does thru the lense of pleasing Putin and putting Rudssia and China's agenda first, it all makes sense. It's time to start calling this what it is. A traitorous president is selling out his own country and countrymen. He needs to he stopped bamn before its too late. This is not Amerixa first, it's America last.

It’s time to do the same in all countries and then let’s see what Americans will eat. Starlink satellites may be good with bread

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

Game on, US. Time for the US to wake up and smell the coffee and understand that your country has been hi-jacked.

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

I’m very very proud to be Canadian! I’m extremely proud that I’ve sold off ALL of my USA held stocks prior to the market fall! I will never ever moving forward invest in USA! Ever! Even when Trump is dead and buried! I’m done with the country that voted for the man the second time. Shame!

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

Shoutout to Justin Trudeau, thank you for being an actual leader during these very uncertain times. I truly hope your country will be able to help ours?

It is time for our country to join the EU and dump this pariah country US is becoming.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

Every time Trump has become president he’s made us look extremely dumb, ignorant, and childish. I’m convinced those who worship him hate this country, and through that hate, claim to be patriotic. Maybe it is time ppl start to eat the rich as they say. ??‍♂️

American here who voted against Trump in 2020 and 2024… I’m so sorry on behalf of my country. Dark times are truly ahead.

That government had a somewhat level deficit UNTILL TRUMP AGAIN. This time the +3% growth that was there for him to start either is ALREADY at a -2%. Americans… that means your country is going to LOOSE MONEY IN THE FIRST QUARTER!!!\nThat’s a 5% drop!! That’s depression drop in what is “the best ever”, “the most healthy economy ever seen before” blah blah blah!! \nHe is starting the third world war and it will happen if y’all continue to take the lawlessness and bullshit\nNo one will survive two years, we won’t make it untill midterms!! Please someone take care if private bone spurs and his Bunions!!!\nI Am Canadian ??????

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Those who voted for this/him, are you happy now? This is not how you treat your neighbors and your country, time to pull out your 401k cause it's going down.

I never voted for trump in either election when he became the president the first or second time. He is a dangerous individual who is actively destroying our country. I hate that I'm raising a child in these turbulent times....

Trump drones - “This is what we voted for LOLOLOLOL!!!! Whine more Libs!!!! LOLOLOL.” I am ashamed to have these morons as my fellow country-people. Stay strong, America, we’ll get through this. 25th amendment time!

Canada will be fine! It's the Americans that will be tariffed by many countries by the time the lunatic is done. He will burn that country to the ground. We'll see who's still standing! I'm not all that worried because besides food, which we've easily replaced what do we get from the US? Nothing we can't get elsewhere. However, the US needs our resources. The lunatic is going to speak to Canadian's later today. Someone tell him we won't be listening!

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

Hopefully this is a big wake-up call to Canada that it’s time to stop relying so much on America for trade and start making deals with other countries.

trump is a convicted rapist, felon, tax cheat and TRAITOR! he's committed espionage with putin NON-STOP for over 9 years. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he MUST be removed ASAP or we'll be in a civil war by SUMMER! A SHOOTING WAR! this is what trump's criminality and treason has done to OUR COUNTRY! he must be arrested - held wothout bond - AND CONVICTED as the domestic terrorist and traitor and international threat THAT HE IS! its GODDAMNED time u. s. law be enforced! STOP allowing that fascist run roughshod over EVERY federal law imaginable!

Bottom line we don't need shit from canada. Period. But they need a whole lot from us. Its time for these guys to pay for what they need. Usa is number 1. Other countries need us. We don't need them.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

And CNN and other US news outlets, why are you so hesitant to declare what is happening is a full on COUP? It is time to start calling it what it is, before you are forced to bend the knee and only report the propaganda approved by your dictator. It is a coup, you're losing the country.

Trump and Musk are both CON men. Trump went bankrupt many times but this time he will take the entire country down with him. God help America.

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

2nd time in one week I say thank you to a foriegn leader, standing up for there country against Trump. Thank you

Unfortunately, Donald and his buddies are very much on another path - not Democracy!\nThe people of this country deserve so much better and so do our fellow North Americans, the Canadians. Dear People. Please know that in the hearts of most Americans, you remain our trusted allies and friends. And please accept, from the people, our heartfelt apology that we failed to get the word out in time and get the vote out sufficiently to keep both countries safe.

he seems awful worried about america. time for other countries to pay their dues, no more america giving other countries everything. bye bye canada.

Canada isn't a friendly country towards America time to end this BS you will fall and so will your country. \n\nTrade war lol

The only reason Trump won the first time was because he was up against a woman and America can't have that lol and he won again against another woman ??I'm glad he won but feel he wouldn't have won if he went up against other men of this country

Why does England, keep wanting to colonize the u.s, after making Joe Biden president and actually controlling the country try for some time? They lose, now want to use their pawns to use force, take control and then using their real name, say it wasn’t them?

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

America, your constitution an oath of office talk of protecting the country from tyranny both foreign and domestic, welll, Trump is that tyranny. This should never have to happen again but I think it's high time you threw your tea in the harbour and kick that self named king out of power.

trump was born dumb and his father helped him by skipping the draft 5 times. Thank God he didn't do the movie Rambo , just because he did a tv show , thinks he can run a country.

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

It's time we as Americans. Stand up and fight. The status quo is no longer. Why didn't Canada or Mexico do this, before the problem? Because you didn't have to. Now you have to. As America we need to bring our country back. Stronger and better. And stop relying on foreign goods. You trudo need to correct your handling of your own fellow Canadians.

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.
