To all the Canada people the world could learn some lessons from you. Our thoughts are with you at this tough time from Ireland.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been grifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake.

Thought this guy was stepping down???

I used to dislike you and thought you had no balls... Today, I realized that being a nice guy doesn’t mean you’re weak. You have integrity, strength, and wisdom—and of course, the balls! My respects!

Trump definitely is destroying republican party.I’m ashamed that voted Donald Trump.I really thought that he’s gonna be diferent one in 2024.

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

Why is this guy still talking? I thought he had quit already. I'm so confused on Canada 's politics. If someone resigns why are they still holding office? Someone please let me know what the rules are in Canada?

US economy is going to take a dismal dive for no reason! Some of you voters thought egg prices were too high......just wait!

I never thought that in my lifetime I would see, as I do now, the once might USA become a vassal state of Russia. How the mighty have fallen! What makes it worse is that the (new) US leader is in no way responsible to the US electorate and is a War Criminal as recognised by the International Criminal Court. President Putin is his name.\n\nLuckily, many Americans quite like this state of affairs.

I thought he stepped down ??? i guess not

Did he not step down. I thought he bowed out.

I legit miss having a competent, thoughtful and nononsense leader. We are stuck with the complete opposite. If anything, Trump is taking years off the lives of those of us who make it a priority to stay informed about our government. He needs to go away, ASAP!

why am I still seeing this guy? I thought he was voted out or something....

FU, Trudeau! I thought you were leaving! Liar

I thought he was retiring

Deterioration of relations? That's an understatement,\nAn increasingly large percentage of Canadians now see the United States as our enemy - 27% a couple of weeks ago. As of today, I expect that's up to at least 50%.\nPrior to November, that number would have been negligible. Pollsters never thought it relevant enough to ask before a few weeks ago.\nYou're running out of allies, America. Soon it will just be you and Russia.\nWhich, I'm sure, will delight Putin and his agent, your Felon in Chief.

This is sheer STUPIDITY. I have no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish here. What good can come from such policies? Is he trying to start a new Great Depression? Start a Third World War? I see no rational thought put in to this at all.

Maybe if YOU weren’t thought of as. Communist leader the world over none of this would be so severe….I think he hates YOU not Canada….its long overdue that you go away forever with the millions you and your people have embezzled from Canadians ….You are a TRAITOR ??

You thought homeless was bad. It’s gonna get horribly worse.

?I am confused I thought he stepped down for embarrassing Canada. He is weak and can not run a country especially Canada—?complete idiot

I am a proud Canadian here, i really thought that was a good speech from our prime minister and as a strong country. WE WILL BEAT THIS. STRONG AND FREE CANADA ?? ?

Didn't this guy stepped down just recently, what's taking so long?.... Also, who wrote his speech?..... Not bad. On the main subject I want to say, where are the billionaires and the famous millionaire's thoughts on this matter. People need to stop buying/consuming sh*t from the rich

I thought he was stepping down?

If tariffs only hurt american consumers why does he care?\n\nI also thought he stepped down.

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

I thought prices were supposed to go down under Trump. Those of you who complained about the price of eggs , I hope you’re ready for higher housing, grocery, and gas prices.

I thought Trump was all about peace?

I thought you resigned.

He brought up something I hadn’t thought about trump trying to weaken companies for take overs. Now that sounds like trump. American here is with you Canada

I thought he was leaving office...WHEN???

I thought he quit

I thought this guy stepped down.

rubio, shame on you, i thought you had morals. not so

Worry about your shitty country of Canada goofy boy I thought you got the boot. What are you doing? Still here we don’t need you. You need more of us than we need you.

I thought he quit.

I thought this guy put his resignation forever ago I guess that was a joke? I find it funny that Canada is so strong and fighting back but their people are already fighting to just eat everyday and trying to get to the food bank everyday! You would think the the Pm would be more focused on helping his people then he is about helping and standing with Ukraine, pretty soon he won’t have any people to fight for!

I thought this idiot was stepping down…???…

I never thought I’d see the day when the President of the United States would launch a trade war against a staunch ally & friend, while sucking up to the murderous Russian dictator Putin. Stand strong Canada, the free world - what’s left of it - support & stand with you! ❤❤❤

Never would I have ever thought that I am happy that world leaders are against America but we are here. I fought for this nation, and we elected a dictator

I'd rather move to Canada. Never thought I would ever say that.

I thought this guy was resigning…

Want me to speak directly to soy boy Trudeau. I thought you resigned you piece of crap

I thought that jerk quit Hay a hole he said reciprocal JackAss

Trudeau, I really thought you were a poor politician, but now I admit you have the guts to do what is the best for your country. You are the man ? Greetings from Latvia ??

American here. I didn't vote for any this orange face administration. I thank God I saw through his ruse before he even thought about politics.

I thought dis nikka was stepping down.. dafuq is he still talking for...

You’re a jack off Trudeau you owe us and your response is to slap us in the face? I thought you were out of a job what are you doing in office still being an asshole

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?
