HOW MUCH DID YOU GUYS GET PAID TO SUPPORT TRUDEAU, THE PUPPET AND BASH PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP? ASKING FOR A FRIEND! ?

Bravo Canada much love from Mexico ❤

Lol this country worth fighting for, but u have no military... i guess not worth that much lmao. Idiots

Is it possible Trump is lying about Canadian drug trafficking? I dont think so, Trump cares so much about his credibility he would never lie to anyone ?

All Americans that are anti trump, make a stand, a proper one and get him out. Seems so many could do so much more than what is currently being done. You need to do what Vermont did everywhere!

Trump is acting destructive everywhere, where he engages. He is destroying his country because the prices in USA will go up quickly and long lasting and their stocks will fall dramatically. Inflation is USA will soar and get out of control. His policies are firing back on his own economy.\n\nCanada will have little ore none impact from these tarrifs, they will overcome this initial shock quickly and recover. They will find better partners and other ways to trade. But USA won't find anybody any more who is willing to deal with him, everybody will avoid engaging with his administration, because they are acting ruthless. Trump isn't considering the ends of his decisions and he obviously doesn't care because he is an irresponsible person without a concience. He won't be able to do harm to other countries than to his own, he only destroys USA, because they elected him and they are following him on his way so far. The opposition in USA will become louder and much more influential and Trump will lose more and more companions in his own party.

Trump is CLEARLY not a smart man ! Either that, or he is a Russian asset working to harm western countries as much as possible.

You're not much better, Trudeau .

Does Canada charge the US tariffs or other types of charges? If so, how much?

US Army veteran here… FDT and much respect to Trudeau as well as love to Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Trump is a Fascist and his very existence goes against everything I swore in my Oath of Enlistment to defend and uphold

How much money do you owe us?

As an Arizonan currently living in CA, much respect to PM Trudeau! ? And a huge F U to the orange $hit stain in our WH!

trump doesn't care about the people. he is stealing and making money hand over fist and all this confusion is helping him out. it's all about stealing as much as he can as fast as he can. we need to impeach the idiot!!!!!!

Respect for Canada from Romania! I used to agree with Trump and Musk on some things but I can't state how much they've fallen in my eyes. Trump ally of Putin? That's insane..

Your Michigan neighbor, right across the bridge, and I stand with you! We don’t support Krasnov Trump, the Russian asset! ??Much respect ??

Any time you are on any kind of team, the teammates you want are ones you can trust, ones that will keep their word. One thing that has made the US strong is the allies we have. He have been able to keep these allies because, in general, we have stuck to agreements we have made with other countries historically. If you have an ally that doesn’t fulfill their end of agreements then they are not much of an allie. If Trump is thinking he can “replace” our current allies and just go become allies with Russia—Russia doesn’t have a good track record on following through on agreements in the last few decades.

Much of what Canada imports from the US can be replaced with non- American products, or even avoided completely.\nMuch of what the US imports from Canada is is big ticket stuff that can’t be replaced quickly in just a few days, weeks or even months. Oil, steel, potash, lumber, vehicles… it’s gonna hit the US really hard, but nowhere near as difficult for Canada. Is he trying to get a civil war??

We are brothers American and Canadians are on the same land same boat one side goes we both sink im Canadian and I stand with American much love let’s stay family and be peaceful and end this madness

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

All these countries are about to realize how much the united states has helped them.

I respect Canada sooo much more than our whack job doing this.

Trump is doing precisley what Putin has ordered him to do: create as much chaos and division among western democracies as he can.

Only the Communist News Network hates the US of A as a much as the Russian do.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

To americans, the guy talking is no better than trump. Look up F off trudeuau to see how much canadians hates this guy.

Thank you for the support for Canada, all around the world. It is much appreciated in these scary times. ???

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

Little castro needs to stfu hes a left wing corrupt pos Canadians would be smart to look into how much money he gets back

From one dictator to another treadue is no different than trump most of these comments s must be from other nationalities cause most Canadians hate him as much as trump

Mr Trudeau, we love you and wish you stay in power!! You are an excellent leader! Much respect❤\nLove from Texas

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

Canadian president is so much better than the American one! Clear, articulate, smart, decisive, and with his country’s citizens interests at heart.

Why is it ALL of the other leaders in the world look so much smarter than ours

This man has a IQ SOOOOOO much higher than Trump the baboon!

Regardless of what “side” or team your on you have to recognize these politicians are using us as pawns in a war. We are the collateral. It’s a pissing contest and they’re both playing chicken with how much they will let their people suffer in the name of “winning”. Stop glazing these people. Hop off and wipe your mouth. Your guys not better than the other they will both use you as human meat shields to fight their wars.

It would be so much fun to see who blinks first after all this chest thumping ??

Turn off the lights in America! It can be done….Canada provides electricity to most of northern America. Every crisis in America has been helped by Canadians. Canada sends linesmen down to help repair power lines after storms. Canada will always help us, don’t doubt it. Trump and Vance r complete idiots. If Trump and Vance are in power for much longer, I can see the devil rising because Trump and Vance are Demons. I’m a 60 year-old disabled woman and if I could I would fly to the Ukraine and help them because my country is doing nothing only upholding Putin!

The tariffs is ONLY a distraction so he can finalize the purge in all the departments and agencies quietly in the background, without too much focus

More inflation isn't going to affect most of us. We've already had so much that we can't afford anything anyway. If a house already costs a million dollars who cares if it goes up to 100 million. Is truly not worth working during this period of time until work pays a living again. I'm at the point I'd rather go live off the land on a commune

Usa here. Much love for Canada and mexico here.

How can anyone think this is about the Border. As a Canadian I worry much more about what is coming from the US; guns drugs people... our border never was the problem. This is about precious metals. Ukraine didn't give them to him so he doubled down on the tariffs.

2:52min in. Some of us are with you Canada, hopefully most. If I can afford will it, I will buy ?? as much as possible ?.

I am very glad our prime minister has stepped up and pushed back hard with what the orange predator down south and his puppet master, Putin, have forced on us. I have no doubt that this is going to be hard economically for us, but is a necessary step. Together, as a sovereign nation, we can weather this \n storm. Im very proud of how much Canadians have stepped up to support local and Canadian companies over American products. As our national anthem says, we stand on guard for thee. That includes all Canadian, no matter what skin color or background we are. United we are, and always will be, a force not to be pushed around.

What a man! Pity, he's living... Europe, especially the UK likes him very much.

Thank you thank you thank you very much Mr. Trudeau for giving us hope in this terrifing time, for standing up to bully, for letting those dictators know that our democratic world is not for sell.\nMerci du fond du cœur cher Premier Ministre Trudeau . Vielen vielen lieben Dank. Wir sind so stolz auf Sie lieber Herr Premierminister Trudeau und auf das tolle Volk Kanadas\n❤

ex KGB agent, he was much more ranked then putin himself, said that they recruited trump in 80ties for KGB under codename krasnov, i think that explains a lot

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.
