Gee. Can't believe a guy who filed for bankruptcy 7 times is ruining the economies of the Western Hemisphere. Quelle surprise! Stand strong, Canada.

I stand with Canada. ??

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

It sounds like someone didn’t prepare themselves well enough for negotiation. Now Canada has to live with the consequences, because of its government’s lack of strategic positioning.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

I'm from Canada, Trump wants to destroy us, he is a bully, Trump deserves everything he gets and I hope it hurts him good.I am very touched to see the support of the world for Canada thank you's

A great speech. Canada's finest hour.

Donald Duck Trump MESS IT ALL UP! THIS OLD ORANGE MAN was voted by the blinded Americans. He's a puppet of a dictator. A cowardly leader who doesn't deserve the position in the oval office. He's full of greed and selfishness. Your GREAT KARMA WILL COME SOON!☝️☝️☝️\nBlame all of these to TRUMP, JD VANCE, ELON MUSK and their American supporters. You will reap what you sow. It may not be now, but in the future.☝️ You'll regret what you did.\n\n???I WILL STAND FOR MY COUNTRY, CANADA! WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE NATION. THE ENTIRE CANADIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL OTHER NATIONS AGAINST THE NARCISSIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

From Slovakia I saltue you, dear Canada,stand up to this Orange mad man!

Weldone Canada ??

Revoke Elon‘s citizenship. He has an incentive to annex Canada to make him a possible next US president, protecting his orange head and war criminal supporter - just like Yeltsin handed the power to Putin. Who has it devised for the orange head??? You‘re guessing correctly.

We are very sorry he is doing this to Canada.

Maybe Canada should lower their terrifs on America and make it more fair.

Trudeau is hellbent on ruining Canada it seems

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

As an angry American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Well done, Prime Minister Trudeau!?

From Somalia ?? stand strong Canada a champion of human rights and peace ✌??️

Trudeau is a has been.. Canada has no leadership right now until an election. Dont worry USA Canada will be fine.

CANADA ?? CUT OFF AMERICA POWER TO PROVE YOU NOT ABOUT TO GET BULLIED

Trump wants to invade canada! He is paving the road!! See it!!

Trudeau..A real leader. Thank you guiding us through this dark days. Greetings from an EU civilian. CANADA WE LOVE YE!

Suck the blood of common canadian citizens and give free money to ukraine. is that make sense? what you didto the honest hard working canadian citizens? health sytem is worst in Canada. tax on honest hrd working peoples ruined their life.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

Good for CANADA. We stand with you????????????

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Mr.Prime Minister Trudeau can we get safe haven in Canada yet? Please?

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

Why did you not answer the question of why does Trudeau and Canada think Trump is using the fentanyl excuse?\nThe intention of using a trade war to undermine the Canadian economy to make Canada the 51st state.\nIt is an existential threat to Canada as a nation.

As a Brit I stand with Canada. It is really unfortunate that the most powerful country in the world has the stupidest voters and the stupidest Head of State on the planet.

and now russia is looking at canada, well played.

That is a speech which will go down in history like some of Sir Winston Churchill's. It gave me courage, boosted my faith that possibly good will prevail. I spent 7 years of my childhood in Canada in the '50s. My heart is with Canada, Trudeau is a statesman in the best sense of the word.

isn't inflation going to hit Canada now just as he said the U.S. Canada cannot fight an economy 4 times greater. Canada's economy will take a bigger hit.

I think, Canada, Mexico and all European countries should seriously have a talk with the new BRICKS alignment for a better world relations and stability.

Canada looks so pathetic almost in tears?. A lesson learned not to rest your shoulders entirely on US billions.

That speech makes me want my Blue state to join Canada as their newest province! Why can’t we have leaders like him who are articulate, respect facts and do rational actions? Oh, because 50% of the electorate in the US are uneducated morons.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, We know Canada is on our side. Unfortunately, too many Americans voted for a narcissist, and narcissists are never wrong... In their mind.

Listen to what Trump said, he wants fentanyl to stop. Canada is trying to make it about trade, its not.

cut off m0ney to canada. why does US give billions to thrn???cut off the atm!!!

Maybe instead of canada becoming our fifty first state we need to join canada and their provadvances seems like a better idea

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

My respects to Canada from a fellow European.

Well all I can say is phUCK OFF CANADA ?

Millions of us did not vote for that madman. This is absolutely necessary. We will take the pain. We are with you Canada!

God bless Canada ??

Sorry Canada that the Americans people are morons to stupidly vote for a felon and a dictator Trump now the whole world has to suffer! ?

Trump wants to take over canada. It has nothing to do to fentanal but his enormous greed and ego. We would be no worse off if we aligned with china

We are Canada... your bestest friend ever... as long as we can keep screwing you over as far as trade goes.
