?? ?? Zelenskyy is the only person to speak up against Trump and Vance. Others need to speak to them they the same way.They are the criminals and don't know how to tell the truth,so they yell and try distraction ploys.? Millions of people will start yelling like them.?..at congress members.

100% support PM Trudeau. We?? must stick together. Forget about your personal politics or grievances.

Your President is a small person, he's throwing a childish Tantrum, like a spoiled 4 year old. Good luck with your new Russian friends America.

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

Brave and dignified Americans, please act now. Don't let a single stupid person and his circle of shameless minions destroy your country, its values, and principles that have been upheld for decades. Please don't abandon your allies.

From across the Atlantic in the UK, we're with you. Personally I've been inspired by your boycotts and we are following suit in this household!

The American people don’t want this either. I couldn’t tell you for the life of me why we’re even doing this. It’s fucking stupid. Trump’s personal vendetta’s at it again. Hurting us all for no fucking reason.

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

I live in the middle of the country, 416,000 mortgage, stay at home wife with 2 young kids.\n\nWe are further and further into massive date.\n\nThis on a salary of 145,000\n\nYes it's personal info, but we all need to be more honest about this and show each other the complete disaster that we are all heading towards.\n\nChild preschool alone for me, being a 'successful' income earner, is 890 per month.\n\nI pay over 40% into tax system and get nothing in return.\n\nBillions\nare spent on failing 'free healthcare' (which isn't free, it's the highest thing we are taxed on and it sucke), \n\nMillions are spent on welfare state, homeless, drug addicts and criminals.\n\nMassive regulations and taxes are the key drivers of our slowing economy and negative foreign investment.\n\nSocial fragmentation is exasperated by massive immigration and an even more massive housing crises.\n\nPoliticians, lawyers and real estate agencies are to blame.\n\nWe've done this to ourselves. Saying yes to easy money in return to long term pain.\n\nTurning away from oil and other natural resources (commodity based dollar)into becoming a real estate based economy is the final nail in the coffin.\n\nNew immigrants are 32-34% migrant workers and 66-68% dependants. Dependants being peippe NOT paying into tax system. Thus, being a competent and utter burden on our already thinly stretched social services.

Trump just loves to play dirty…he’s a thug and a felon..a vile subhuman who has a black heart ? and the need for greed that surpasses any other person ever..he doesn’t care for the people only his billionaire friends, money and power….this is all for Putins benefit. There is a Canadian election in 2025 but not any day now…get your facts straight!

How can a person that ran two casinos to the ground be considered smart?

there should be an age limit on becoming president. The circus of an elderly person with an IQ of no more than 70 should take place not in the oval office, but in a nursing home.

Please Trudeau, don't call that orange man smart. His college professor could attest to that he is the dumbest person.

From a German once living a year in Canada: If you make a Canadian that angry you really messed it up. I couldn't imagine of any better ally to have. You deserve to be treated so much better and such behavior comes from a person shouting for more respect at others. All my love to your beautiful country.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

this is what happens with Trump, we will see how long the Americans will be happy with their choice. USA is out and can not be trusted. Maybe USA will come out from this well and I know many of them don't care about other people, but other countries and people will suffer as long as Trump is in the seat. Very bad and dangerous to allow one person with this much power.

Thank you, CANADA, for standing strong against U.S. / Trump. But do not give credit to Trump as being a smart person. The world is figuring out how narrow minded he is.

Trudeau is personally involved with the Fentanyl trade. That’s why propping up bills and “plans” will never be enough. Trump knows this.\n\nHe’ll never be out of the drug game until he’s removed. Neither will his puppet “drug czar”\n\nWe’re calling for the dismantling of the trade. That’s going to get messy. When we see that, tariffs come down. \n\nUntil they make big busts of the industry portion of making fentanyl and the banks laundering the cartel money the tariff stays.

Of course fentanyl is a false pretext, there is no fentanyl issue with Europe, yet Europe gets tariffs from Trump...\nThe only happy person with all this chaos is Vladimir Putin (Trump's hero) !

Sociopathic playbook behavior of creating enemies and destroying relationship. It’s nature to the personality disorder and destructive nature of the behavioral patterns.

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

I am a US citizen and I am embarrassed to have such a dumb criminal insecure sick buffoon as president. \nI am also ashamed of how in this country, we have an ill-informed racist uneducated naive selfish electorate, that would put a weak person who can't even compose a short sentence correctly in the highest office in the land.

Okay, so on the one hand, so glad Trudeau retired. But on the other, it's so nice having a strong confident person at the podium that actually speaks with integrity and intelligence.

Well unfortunately it's no longer the United States of America it's now Trumpland. From an American im personally sorry for what Trump is doing. ?

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

we don't want this either! it's the orange person

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

I would say if you stop the flow of drugs into our country like Trump asked you to do and tighten up the border. There would be no problem whatsoever at all, but you say you’re an honest person and you want to get along with everyone well, just stop the drugs from coming in in East Terrace won’t be on there. Trump hasn’t seen any easing up on that border over there and things would be back to normal so it’s it’s sad he had to do that but then your retaliating and what does it do it does nothing yes Canada is gonna suffer and we’re gonna suffer here in the United States all because of your stubbornness and hardness I’ve seen over the years how you text the hell out of your own Canadian citizens and that’s why they don’t like you there, but that has nothing to do with it so

Because of one SI--K person, half the world suffers !

This is 100% about Trump wanting to appear 'strong'. He is the kind of person who mistakes bullying and cruelty for strength.

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!

The sane people here in the USA support you 100% And we are Anti-tRump also. and tRump is NOT a smart person, he is a spoiled 6 year old that needs to be sent to his room

Guess what - I am a single person from Austalia and I stand with Canada with every atom of my body - call me... anytime, happy. happy to seek out MAGA and apply dirt naps where necessaty...

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

I am Canadian. Totally disagree with the tariff war. The personal animosity and pettyness between Trump and Trudeau should not negatively affect folks on both sides of the border. Hopefully this stuff will stop when Trudeau finally leaves the stage at the end of the month.

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

This is madness. I am sorry for our both countries. One person ruined it for everybody. Sadly, his supporters continue to believe his lies?

Comparing pm Trudeau and trumps speech today. \nOne was an intelligent adult working to better his country!\nThe other is an elderly toddler suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, who only cares about himself.

How much of this is a personality conflict between Trudeau and Trump?

Why keep on talking just do what you want. Person who talk to much no knowledge and afraid to face reality. Please stop telling true lies speech.

Trump don't speak to this person he resigned an d he's taken millions from canadians

So how does a person who resigned his position, speak down to a president who won the majority and all swing states and both houses of congress? How does a resigning leader even speak for the people of Canada? If your ideas were popular with YOUR people, you would still\nbe there

No one person should have as much power as the President of the US. Even before Trump this has been true. Now we are reaping the horrors of Congress ceding their power bit by bit over the past 50+ years.

My Canadian brothers and sisters.......we all didn't vote this person in. We disagree with everything he's doing. From the way he spoke to President Zelensky to these tariffs. The xenophobic, racist, homophobic uneducated humans that calls America home are the ones that got this guy in. People that voted against their own interest. Now we all have to suffer. SMH.

This is absolutely the worst the USA Canada relationship has been. I lived in the US during Bush2.0 and have many American friends. This isn't personal (unless you continue to support Trump).

Bravo Canada. I didn't vote for Trump and I can't explain why any American with critical thinking skills would. Yet many Americans voted for a bully whose main interest is serving himself and not those wo voted for him. I can explain why someone like Trump would want power - I can't explain why voters would want that person in control of their lives.

Don’t say the United States did this. One person did this. One rich idiot.

Trump is NOT a very smart guy. He is the dumbest person on the planet and is destroying the US a piece at a time.
