I'm with Canada. I am not pleased how CNN presented this speech however. They should have let the French speech play out with interpretation as Trudeau is not repeating what he already said in English and he provided more information. Also CNN keeps interrupting the question/answer portion of the speech. I want this news from the horse's mouth, not the news person's interpretation or regurgitation of what was said. I went to another source to see the complete speech instead of staying on this channel. I recommend that other viewers do the same if you want complete information.

I'm Japanese living in Singapore, literally the opposite side of the world. I stand for Canada❤ Been there once, Vancouver and Victoria Island. What a beautiful country! Both the land and the people.

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.

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

Do what you have to do Canada I'm American mango Mussolini is just stupid!!\n\nHe's a greedy evil racist narcissistic misogynist and blatant liar. Really all the tariffs are is a poor person's text is meant to hurt confused ? and there's no point in that? \n\nFentanyl is no more dangerous or available than any other drug that has ravaged America in the world. If the people don't take it there is no problem no one is forced. Go Canada go God bless.

As an American: can I move to Canada, please? I don't speak French, but I am very fluent in English, and have a good command of Spanish. I'm a good worker.

Donald wants to hurt Canada so they vote out Justin because he hates Justin. He want conservatives in Canada to come into power so they can bend over in front of Donald and ultimately destroy Canadian economy and the US can take possession of all of Canadian resources. I'm just waiting for Donald's funeral.

Canadian Lad here, I'm Very Proud of Our Prime Minister. Hats off Buds. Our Doors are open to those Americans that want to Live in Canada. Its a Big country I'm sure we can find a lake for you to live on free of Morons Like Donald Trump. As long as you don't mind Camping, fishing, canoeing, drinking Molson Beers watching hockey, and eating Pan cakes with Maple Syrup, lol.

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

I'm sorry Trump is doing this. I think you and Canada are wonderful. My great grandmother was born in Canada. Putin and Trump are evil.

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

I'm with Canada wholeheartedly. I apologize for this dumbfuckery, Mr. Trudeau. Every day, when I wake up, I wonder: Is he gone yet? That's my current wish. Trump accused Kamala Harris of wanting to bring the country to World War III, but is he, a FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGER, who is itching to have blood and death at a global level, in his name. He is a shameful loser, and Putin's puppet.❤

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

I'm with Canada 100% on this! Canada is our great neighbor to our north and what Trump is doing to them is outrageous. What a stab in the back by this inept president!!

I stand with Canada, MX, the UK and Europe! I will stay in the U.S. for now, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say if Trump and Musk keep this up, I'm left with no other choice but to leave my country.

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'm sorry Canada! We have a maniac in charge here. I didn't vote for him. Those who did will pay a price. Unfortunately now we all have to pay in so many ways. They are against the old people and many others. I pray we survive this undemocratic takeover ?

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

I'm in agreement with Canada we as American we didn't want this either. Trump is an asshole and an idiot ?

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

I'm doing ongoing research to cease any spend on any US product or service. I'm buying software from Europe, using Posteo for email, deGoogling this year and vastly reducing Youtube. I trace all groceries to eliminate anything US sourced and I now check that products are Mexican and Canadian as much as I'm able and they are supplying. I've stopped planning trips to LA and NYC, I might resume if American voters ever have the good sense to vote en masse against obviously fascist plans and personalities. I've holidayed in Mexico three times and would visit Canada and Europe in future. US is not safe for everyone any longer, not even its citizens and looks to be getting increasingly insecure and offering prosperity only to the already mega rich through crooked policies and agencies. Every week or two I double check the facts on groceries and online products/services to make sure I'm not accidentally buying American. The election was so compromised in November I'm glad people are realising the only action we can take is with our wallets from not logging in to 'big tech' to buying bread and apples etc.

American here supporting Canada and Mexico. I'm embarrassed by what that idiot has done and will continue to do sadly. Please know that not all Americans support this. In fact MOST of us don't, and we are standing with you.

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

I'm a Scottish person who has just had maple syrup and bacon on my pancakes. Won't be buying any American pancake toppings that's for sure. Go Canada. Really hoping when Scotland qualify for the Mexico/USA/Canada world cup in 2026 that we don't end up in the USA. Don't trust them anymore!

I'm betting that Canada will do what they can to help their people in their businesses while the Trump administration will let the American people and businesses suffer. Maga is all about the cruelty.

Love you Canada! So sorry our Dictator in Chief is the way he is. Couldn't be prouder of a country that isn't mine. As for my country... I'm very ashamed. I didn't vote for him and I'm so upset he got elected.

As a Brit I'm proud of Canada and the EU for calling out and standing up to the BS that's happening right now. Rather than caving in and becoming Trump's lapdog. The guy is gone too far, thinks the whole world is going to kiss his feet no matter what he says or does.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

I'm so proud of Canada very nice people i have visited Canada in 2016 i had a Job in Iraqi embassy I'm from Iraq and I say Canada really don't deserve this they are just really good people May God bless you all and peace be upon this Earth ❤❤

I'm surprised how many Americans are upset with this move against Canada, from the left and right. I'm not letting Donald affect my friendships I have down in the States with friends and family.

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

Go Canada, the UK is with you. I'm sorry for the decent Americans caught up in this. Please fight to remove this vile regime from office. Trump, Vance and Musk are a dream for Russia and other dictatorships.

I'm from USA and I stand by you fully Canada and Ukraine. This Prime Minsister is for the people in Canada. What an amazing leader. Im so disgusted by all this and so mad at all the Americans that voted for Donald

I'm british and was giving trump the benefit of the doubt but then he picked on Canada(we have the same head of state) and today his vice president started bitching about the british military, seems he forgot about the over 630 troops that came back in body bags after Britain stood right next to the usa after the new york attack. I'm feeling a bit low even though he's not targeting us. Allies should stick together

Thank you to all you idiots that didn't believe in project 2025!!! I'm with Canada ?? , Mexico ?? and Ukraine ??

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down un popular leader in Canada.

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down in popular leader in Canada. ?

Maybe that Donald guy is just taking his revenge on America first.\nHe already stated that Canada and Mexico are to be annexed and we all agree that he's doing everything he said so far, literally. If he really moves his 100k+ troops out of Europe as he said I bet my ass that these soldiers are going straight to the U.S. borders, just like Russia did moments before invading Europe. I assume he'll stop there, anyway. Otherwise it means I'm in a coma at hospital right now, and all of this is a weird fever dream.

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

America is now a pariah state. I'm a Brit, and I have traded all my shares that were in American companies, and my son has cancelled a trip there. He's going to Canada instead. America will not see one penny of our money.

Trump has never quit nor been caught in blackface I'm going with Trump.. And i agree there's nothing we need from Canada!.. Your border is safe because USA is your neighbor period!

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

I'm an American who did not vote for the boar in the white house. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Greenland and Panama. Trump is behaving as if he made a deal with Putin to destroy the American economy and America's international relationships. We are making enemies of all our allies.

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.
