With Canada here...this is going to hurt US consumers and business more, and with inflation still an issue, this will only make things worse for us here. Where are our elected officials? Where are our Republican Senators and Congressmen? Why are they not speaking up for us the people??\nThis is a sad day for America!! Canada is our friend!!

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

Who would have thought that electing Trump could cause the whole world's economy to crash. Look at Trump's business record and there is no way that he would blunder us into a bankruptcy. Just don't look into his casinos, university or airline business to name a few.

i stand with Canada and Ukraine. TO my fellow Americans... you have done this to us by electing a corrupt, criminal communist and unhinged man as president of our nation. You have destroyed us with this maggot infested political party that will only bring on WW3 and the lost respect of every nation on earth. I am ashamed to be an American.

Great to hear a smart leader. Shame the US can’t manage to elect one

Canada should first implement trudeau. New person should be elected. Then that person should visit the oval office with trump in, then trump must say to that guest you don't have the cards to play, with us only you have the cards ?

All of this coming from a guy who closed the parliament and refuses to tell us when we will have an election in Canada....This is his fault and Singh from NDP...He has no control over borders and crime is rampant in Canada..His own justice minister had his car stolen twice.He should protect his country like trump doing...

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

As a Canadian.... screw this clown. Trudeau is a useless lame duck. He has announced his resignation and has no mandate whatsoever to represent us. You call a man names for 8 years, and there are going to be consequences you fool. Of course this isn't about fentanyl. You've prodded a bully and now that bully is responding like bullies do. \nA Canadian election can't possibly come soon enough.

If your own people hate you dont give advice. I love how everyone cries just because we arent handing out freebees.. trillions in debt weve been paying the world for decades they tax us over and over and over while leaving our own people in crisis now Trump standing up and doing what we elected him to do.

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

Canadians, just remember Trump won the election with 49.9% of the vote so 50.1% of American voters did not vote for him! Half of us Americans are still sane...

Sad to say there are still plenty of Trump supporters that believe this is a good move for the US.This is what happens when you elect a fool to the highest office in America.We are witnessing the end of democracy and the beginning of a dictatorship. Lord help us!!!!!??????????

Im an American. I can tell you all of us are barely surviving and the average people feel powerless to stop this madness. Sorry Canada MAGA elected a mad man. ?

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

The Russians meddled in the election of trump and he knows it. He owes the Russians, and they have made that perfectly clear. Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He has no allegiance to the US or our Constitution, just the russians.

An American here. God bless Canada. Unfortunately an uneducated group of Americans and a dictator has put us here. Real Americans will do our job in our 2026 midterms and 2028 elections.

The conservative party had a 26% lead going into our election this year. That was 2 weeks ago. Today the Liberals have a 2% lead in the polls. Trump is moving us to the left and that's the only good thing so far from this administration.

Right On! rump is trying to take the US into a Russian ally. I support Canada's position! I have never been so ashamed of our government than today! Between genocide in Israel to repeating Russian talking points about Ukraine, this is the worst result of electing this enemy of the people of the United States.

Trudeau has been embroiled in 250+ scandals since he won a majority govt in 2015. 250+ scandals!!!!!!! Hes been defeated in every level of court and still walks as a free man, usurping & laundering money WEEKLY. \n\nHe only won a minority in 2019 & 2021 with a tiny fraction of the vote and has stolen more $$$ from the taxpayer with a minority govt than he did with a majority-please tell me how his net worth making $400k/year went from $8 million to $180 million and climbing? \n\nTrudeau will get us all deleted by us forces if he doesn’t zip it! Call the election already!!!!!!!

Why is he even involved, why is he speaking on mainstream media, he has resigned because Canadians do not want him as their P.M., most of us don't care about what he has to say. He is arrogant, corrupt and irrelevant and doesn't represent us or our values. We need an election!

Hey JT, you are destroying Canada for the last 9 fu*** years. Sh** the f*** up and let us have an election.

I'm canadian here in Canada - most of us despise trudeau and are struggling to survive under his high tax regime. We want trudeau to sit down and shut up and stop robbing us Canadians of a living and of our election. We have wanted an election for months now. He has denied us that.

Here in the US we are whole heartedly in support of all of fellow Canadians who are not only our most trusted ally and friend but our brothers and sisters entwined in the same culture, philosophy, freedom, love and respect for each other until a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender, narcissistic pathological liar, criminal, traitor and Putin lover got elected. But we are still family! We will not allow one deranged, unhinged, delusional and psychotic man spoil our relationship.

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

Thank you Canada for standing up to the idiocy of trump.\nThere is mounting and clear evidence that trump and his enablers stole our election through suppression of legitimate American voter’s votes…. And manipulation of voter machines…\nThe evidence is overwhelming…Trump is a #PutinPuppet and he is Putin’s useful idiot.\nThe majority of us Americans love our Canadian friends and neighbors.\n??❤️?❤️??

DT MUST GO!!\nSOS\nWE HAVE NO HELP!!!\nWe did NOT elect this criminal felon and most of us think it was rigged!\n\n??He and his co president musky must be stopped!! VANCE MUST GO TOO!\nTHESE ARE MAGA DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY NOT REAL REPUBLICANS!!!!\nMY GRANDPARENTS WERE LIFELONG REPUBLICANS AND HAVE NOW LEFT THE CROOKS WHO ARE TRYING TO WIPE US OUT!!! THE LIAR AND “CHIEF” has never had psychological, cognitive, physical exams to pass, he’s a reckless, destructive maniac!\nJust look at him, he looks unwell.

As an American, I am ashamed that my country somehow chose to re-elect this ghoul and his circus train of hangers-on. God bless you. I wish you and the rest of the free world the best. Just know that the many (likely the majority) of us down here now oppose and revile him as well.

I’m standing with our friends in Canada. I wish they will export more to us in Europe. I’m also boycotting the US for the evil regime that they elected.

The US under the orange anus is no friend to any country that isn't run by authoritarian dictatorships. \n\nHit us back hard, Canada. We deserve to be hurt for electing that orange monster!!

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

I am a French Canadian. I did not hear it From Trudeau in English but I heard it in French, the real reason of the economic war is annexation. Fentanyl, immigration was just a Casus Belli. Trump want to put us on our knees and beg to join the US. We will have federal elections soon and we know that Trump will try to influence the outcome of the elections like Chine, Russia or India. We know has Canadian that USA is not a friend anymore. Trump is the dumbest of American President of the history of USA. Americans citizens get rid of Trump and Vance before it is too late.

Trump is turning America into a fascist government destroying the middle an lower class.The tariffs will starve alot of Americans, cutting all programs that help people will be devastating. Elections dont matter anymore Musk an starlink has fixed that. His goal is to mirror Russia an all fascist governments. He's turning Russia enemies into US enemies.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

Now he turns around and becomes a Canadian patriot for 9 1/2 years he’s beaten us with everything he could. Canadians don’t need Trudeau and his collaborators to tell us what it means to be a Canadian. We aren’t at war with America and yes Canadians are patient, civilized and tolerant as has been clearly demonstrated since 2015. Now call a federal election.

US citizens, please do not divert your attention from where your primary attention should be and that is the Trump Administrations appeasement policies towards Russia. A 180 degree turn from opposing Russia to supporting Russia’s invasion of a sovereign diplomatically elected country. Canadians please do not direct your anger towards Americans who DO NOT support draft dodging Trump. US citizens will continue to support you and rid our country of this scourge!

Describing Trump as smart, Trudeau is flattering him. There’s nothing remotely smart about Trump. He’s by far the stupidest, most ignorant and deranged president the US has ever elected. He’s crooked, corrupt and pathologically dishonest.

More than half of the US doesn’t want this either. I’m sorry the other half elected this damn fool to represent us. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine don’t deserve this and neither do we. I am truly sorry. We will get thru this…. Keep fighting back yall. Keep fighting.

Deleted anything related to the US. Everything. Will never buy anything American, nor will i go to the US anymore. You elected a tyrant. A tyrant aligned with everything filthy on this planet. You needed to stand up to that bully at the last election but you ignored every red light just for the improbable « chance » to save a few bucks!? Shame on you all. Now deal with the consequences.

If any good has come from the election of Donald Trump, is the fact that everybody is waking up, realizing we should get stronger and more united, becuase the US is not a trustworthy ally

Wait a second, just a few weeks ago CNN was saying that Canada had outfoxed the US/Trump and they were not doing anything more than what they had decided to do well before Trump's election when it comes to stopping illegal immigration and the transport of fentanyl into the US? Now they are trying to convince us that Canada is very understanding and accommodating of US needs and is doing a lot!!!! Fake News Network! True Americans should stand with United States of America and not Canada. LOL

He even pissed off the Canadians. Probably EU should work closer with Canada, and maybe even China if the US is not able to get their ****** together.\nAnd pls , hurry , would be cool if we could elect people that a grown up.

Orange man is basically a GRU asset, bought and proped up by propaganda to be elected. All these gymnastics is practically his mission to break the western ideals of democracy so that his benefactors would reign more... US is practically being sabotaged by the orange man himself, and those drinking his cool aide is practically complicit to it.

It disgusts me so much how stupid the Americans could be to elect this rubbish! At the same time, I learned a lot: I always wondered how the Nazis came to be here - now I know! Lies and shit-talk and people will believe you! It makes me sad and angry that we humans are apparently NOT able to learn. \n \nOnce again, it hits US little people the hardest: Trump, Weidel and all their names are playing golf and denying royally and we are in trouble. \n \nI wonder how much longer we want to watch this?

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

Trudeau a dictator himself himself sit down we fired that shameless embarrassment two months ago he screwed us by allowing unlimited economic migrants millions into Canada illegally many who illegally crossed into the US illegally they did little for years to stem the flow of hard drugs organized crime out of control clandestine drug labs all over Canada now hundreds of thousands of Canadians dead from overdose he screwed us now Trump is screwing us we are really screwed with this clown show at the helm still we should have had an election a year ago so a competent government was installed working instead the Liberal red green show is in charge

Dear Canadians, As an American, I am so ashamed of our administration. They are an administration of liers, grifters and sycophants who have undermined our democracy. They are destroying our country and in the process undermining Democracies around the world. You have been our closest ally for 200 years and I am happy to have lived in Detroit and spent so many trips to your wonderful country. Please hold on until we can get to our midterm 2026 elections and remove the sycophants that have allowed this criminal enterprise to infect us.

It was bound to happen that the US would eventually elect not only an enemy of the free world but also an enemy of its own people

I wish us Americans could actually think intelligently, but we are stupid for electing trump and think that that clown has all he answers when all he does is destroy everything he touches. He does not care about anyone and should be removed from office. To the world, I am sorry our country cannot treat our friends correctly with respect and dignity . We elect stupid people. We have no excuse and do not deserve friends we have to the world.
