To the Canadian people, this US citizen is embarrassed and sad.

Sad really.

The truly sad thing is, we've sat through this dumbass movie before and so we already know it doesn't end well. My question is, why the hell are we watching it again??!! Republican party should not be allowed to vote again ever.

SAD. So so sad.

I just wished our fellow Congress people especially Democrat to speak up and take action they're just kicking back and watching is so sad

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

I’m sad to see Trudeau be replaced at a time like this. He’s at his best in a crisis. Say want you want about him, this guy loves his country.

Very sad day, huge mistake. Canada doesn’t deserve this?

As a dual citizen, this makes me sad hearted, for both my homes.\nsitting here in Washington State, I love you, my fellow Canadians!

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

This is what leadership looks like. It's sad that the rest of the world has to deal with this orange buffoon.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

Now this is a intelligent, wellspoken leader. It‘s just so sad and scary what the US is doing.

I am a Hungarian born Canadian, I am so sad to see what the US is doing to my beloved country. Please stay strong and we are standing by you from Europe. Love you Canada!!!!

As an American, i found this speech to be clear, factual, and classy. I feel sad that trump et al are not behaving equally. As far as i know, trump has no parallel real activity to reduce fentanyl or cartel activity, much less actually advance economy for Americans and our neighbors.

I almost forgot what an actual leader sounds like. It's sad that so many of my fellow Americans let fear mongering and hate take root in their psychy to the point they thought a barely literate megalomaniac was the best choice to lead the country. This is one of the rare being black in this country is a benefit. We're used to being overburdened and neglected, so it's nothing new to us. But, everyone else is in for a rough ride. Good luck.

you know whats really sad. that president can speak 2 languages, our president cant even speak 1 XD

Sad that some of us hate what’s going on in this shameful country…..under a shameless man…..leaders decide & we have no say…..I am not political , but hatefulness & tyranny should never rule, never! Very sad & chaotic days, when the wicked rule!

This is sad Canadian people don't deserve this American people don't deserve this Primeminster Trudeau good address to your people and the American people Keeping it real hard times for both countries ahead

Canadian are... polite. Unlike the clownesque current US government and its sad leader

It is sad but this is exactly what Trump is wanting. He is creating chaos and attacking our friends so he can create an emergency and declare martial law. In effect Trump is becoming a dictator who aligns with Russia and will be Putin's puppet. Great speech from PM Trudeau. I support Canada and all actions they take against Trump, regardless of how that will hurt us. This is ALL Trump's fault.

I’m so sad to see Trudeau leave ?

Dear God, America needs someone like this. How beautifully he speaks. How sad I am for my country. Alll this chaos due to one man. My God. ?

From US American that didnt vote for this. We love you CANADA. its sad we all have to suffer due to the ignorant

It was funny the first time the orange dullard was in office.. but this is really just sad tbh .. he isn't showing signs of progress but decline ...

As an American who has never voted for Trump, as sad as this message is, I appreciate how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau always talks clearly and factually, and never gaslights which is what Trump and MAGA GOP always do.

It's sad we have such a incompetent bully as our president. Trump and his cronies are going to destroy our country.?\n\nHey MAGA don't cry when you can't afford basic items!!

To bad so sad loser Kanucks!

i almost feel sad to see him go and not speaking in public anymore. His voice is so well tuned for the moment.

It is sad that another country's leader has to address the American people in a way that the American Congress can not seem to muster up enough sense to realize and speak about.\n\n CONGRESS! GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUTTS AND GET IT TOGETHER.

Hey Canada. Huge respect for standing up against this bullying Trump/Vance/Musk/Rubio Gang. Let us Team up to bring wealth and strength to our people. Sad thing is that the nice people from America and their beautiful Country has to suffer under these bullies bring up the whole world up against themselves for no reason. Greetings from Europe.

Why can’t America have presidential candidates like this guy? - Sad American

Not America, t rum p.....\n\nVery sad

pretty sad when a decorated veteran general has lost all hope with this orange fool. just need to back out of NATO and start learning the Russian language. maybe take some lessons from Elon on your leaders favorite salute. heil.... jackasses

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

I don’t think the majority of Americans want this. I did not vote for Donald Trump and I’m sure a lot of people that did are regretting their decision. This is so sad and depressing and stressful. God bless us all.

Sad day

This all about licking Putin’s boots. Sad.

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

i'm from australia and i have relatives in canada. i visit them regularly. i feel sad that from now on the cost to visit and stay in canada would most likely become more expensive.

Fuck, see what you idiots who voted for trump did. Eggs cost $1 each, Canada is hating us now, everything cost more now, Russia gonna take over Ukraine… Sad to be American these days.

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

This makes me so, so sad!

We Americans know Trump aint shit..this is sad

Canada and us is one hand, it’s very sad day!

with freedom comes responsibility, with choice comes consequences.\nthis is what you get when you choose a treasonous scumbag for president. one false thing here is calling donald a smart man. i have never known of a smaller, more arrogant, more stupid, less qualified sad excuse of a man-child than the orange idiot. as a veteran commissioned officer of the united states of america, i, unlike our president, am bound by the oath i swore at my commissioning. i am ashamed of my nation for allowing a treasonous scum to sell our county

I don’t care WHO & WHAT you voted for…this is a sad day in the United States of America. ??

Only people in the U.S., who subscribe to the Cult of Donald J. Trump approve of his actions. Trump is the Cult Leader, but it is so sad he is forcing all of us to drink his home brewed Kool-Aid.

As a European, Im so sad for you Canadians to be neighbours with that crazy country, with a insane sickness right now. We would love to have you here in Europe.

That's because the president of the US is a lying, abusive psychopath. This is a sad day in our history and Trump will be remembered, the most important thing to him, but not for being great. He will be remembered as the worst thing that's ever happened to our country
