Someone rescue us from this tyrant! He has too many idiots fooled here. I can't handle Canadian winters but I so wish I could move there. Pray for the USA.

Wish we could trade our terrible US President for the principled Canadian President, but we'd have to give a lot of concessions for a fair trade.

❤????As a US citizen, I appreciate your truthfulness. Prime Minister Trudeau, I just wish we had true leadership and not foolishness in our Country!!

Trudeau...you allowed illegals to pass into our country and they cost us hundreds of billions because of your action. You brought harm to Americans , Americans died because of illegals being allowed to passing thru your country knowingly they entering the U.S in violation of Federal Immigration Laws. I remember what you did to Canadians who apposed you, you seized their bank accounts, took away their assets and imprisonment for those who didn't yield to your wish.

I really wish you had let us hear the PM answering the reporters. Just to give the American's a look at how it should be carried out.

Drug addicts will find some drug whatever it takes. The US should make their country livable for people if they wish to decrease drug abuse. Not that Trump actually cares about any common person, it's just a narrative to incite hate and engage in bullying.

My God the voice of reason. Smh. Donald Trump is a complete fool. I hope you idiots that voted for this treasonous ba@#$&! are happy. We in the US can only wish that we had an articulate and intelligent man to lead the US. Please Lord save us from this buffoon.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

Im so embarrassed to be and american. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. NOT ALL OF US VOTED FOR TRUMP. !!!! I thankfully live in CONNECTICUT but I'm really scared for democracy. I wish I could move to Canada

I wish I were a Canadian. But then, I have wished that for the last 40 years of my life. Too bad I could never make the point score necessary to emigrate. I am ashamed to live in the US. Trump has to go, by any means.

Yet Canada hates him right now, Just as much as all of you hate Trump. Trump never said he sided with Russia and I really wish all of you dimwits would donate your personal money, or personally volunteer to step on the front lines. They have no manpower and y'all are idiots to think that it makes sense to give a country backing after they're the ones who threaten to join NATO and clearly most of y'all don't even know that NATO started this bullshit by going against their promises to Russia and they have added eight former Soviet countries to their union. At this point I'm okay with giving half of the US to the libtards So you guys can pay taxes to fund every other country but your own. Yuck.

I have never heard a Canadian sound so fierce and it makes me wish I were a Canadian today. Canada, there are many many Americans that are so ashamed today be part of this country today and please know that we fully support you putting our country in its place. We hope that you know we have your back and that we hope that you will forgive us when we have shown we actually deserve it

Mr. Trudeau, As an American who has never voted for Trump, I apologize for the person we currently have in the White House, and wish Canada and Mexico the best. Do what you have to do, and hopefully it will cause enough disruption that Trump will have to retreat. Most of us consider Canadians and Mexicans our friends. A lot of people in the US are contacting our representatives in Congress, participating in economic boycotts, and joining groups like the ACLU that are bringing lawsuits against some of the actions that have already occurred. God bless Canada and Mexico!

Native Floridian in the US here sending big hugs out to Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau, Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and Mexico and La Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum❣️ I wish my one vote and activism had been enough to stop the re-election of such a horrid, arrogant individual back into our WH. It all makes sense if he is aligning us with Russia

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

Lifetime Republican here - until the afternoon of Jan 6, 2021that is. I'm also a disabled US vetaran. I wish our president had any of the strong leadership qualities that Trudeau has. Instead we cose to elect a traitorous grifter intoxicated with power who habitually spews lies that his cult members gobble up like candy. The 2020 election was stolen..yep yep yep, the dictator Zelenskyy started the invasion...yep yep...wait what? Wake Up America!

Sure wish the US republicans president could speak intelligently like Trudeau. Donald is selling out the US!

I wish we had a leader like Trudeau in the US.

As an American I wish you would rule us. you’re the leader I would rather have over felon trump.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

I wish we had somebody like Prime Minister Trudeau in the US Government instead of what we've had (OK, a couple weren't so bad).

I wish Canada would make us a new province

I only wish my country, the US of A had a leader as articulate and intelligent as this man.\nTrump is a humiliation to this country. He is scum. \nI am so ashamed that half my country voted him into office.

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

?Yall voted for this ! Bible is fulfilling itself! I wish I had money to move .This is mentally drawing seeing the news everyday knowing our country leaders are destroying us and pushing us back

I wish the US is a province of Canada ? ??

Somewhat right but not exactly right. According to Trump admin, Trump is actually trying to stop the circumvention of Chinese goods and Chinese drugs coming from Canada. Trudeau promised Trump to work on the drug issue, but I guess he did not if we are seeing the significant import tax on Canada now. And come on Trudeau, you dislike Trump and aren't exactly his friend. You talked back on him on many international stages. Anyways, I wish you two get along eventually and hope the same for US and Canada.

What a great leader Trudeau is - don’t we wish we had a man of his integrity leading us in the USA

I promise we didn’t choose this either ?‍♀️!! We love and support our neighbors to the North and South no mater what our government is trying to make us believe!! We wish all Canadians and Mexicans the best and will continue to support you despite our president!! Much❤️ from Colorado

This is a good man. I wish we had someone in the White House who looked and sounded like him. TRUMP IS RUINING US AND STILL NI ONE IS DOING ANYTHING. What is wrong with the DEMOCRATS. GET MOVING GET TRUMP OUT OF THE POSITION HE’S IN BEFORE WE ARE ALL FORCED TO BOW DOWN TO PUTIN BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THIS IS GOING.

As a stressed out American over this dumpster fire, I wish we had someone like Trudeau leading us

Screw Trump, Vance and all the idiots who voted for these two clowns. Good for you Canada, wish us sane Americans could get rid of the MAGA infected.

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

dont we wish trump had the knowledge to speak as well as he dones n also his telling us are government n trump does not really give an f about its citizens

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

❤ understood and appreciate Canadian honesty. \n\nTrump wants us to suffer. I wish there was a way for citizens to bring Trump up on charges of crimes against humanity.

As an American we are ashamed, absolutely ashamed of what Trump is doing. God have mercy! I wish so much things could be otherwise. Praying for us all. ?❤️ As an American we don’t want this!!!

Luv'n Trudeau.❤ We want your sanity and eloquence here brother. Wish you could be eligible to run for US Prez in '28. We reject our dumbass ??.??

I wish he is the president of the us

There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

Hundreds of millions of us are against this. We wish for a president like him, we tried so hard to make the other half understand they're being lied to. We are on your side, Canada, were on Ukraine's side, and we are embarrassed, repulsed, and pretty terrified.

I'm an American, and I'm embarrassed by our a-hole president. Please feel free to dump on him as much and often as you wish has so many of us are behind.

I wish that we in the US had an articulate president like this. ☹️

I wish we had a president that was so eloquent. The hateful orange Nazi doesn’t represent all of us. God bless Canada.

A president we wish we had here in the US.
