my family has been in a Canada for over 200 years, we feel like we woke up in a different country, were considering leaving i never wanted to live in india and never will, we are second class citizens in our country and its sad, I hate what Canada has become I hate liberals, and i hate immigration

I'm in the middle east. My mom was Canadian born and my dad American. I support Canada. Trump is mad cuz he can't take over Canada as the 51st state. Canada has a secure border. The border crisis is BS.\n\nThe things that you import from the US, import from UK, Australia, France etc.\n\nThis is what the country I live has done. You find very few US products now. Most imports are coming in from the UK, Australia, France, Greece etc.

I stand with Canada. What Musk and Trump are foing is sickening: they started a trade war to destroy Canada’s and Mexico’s smaller economies that would help the Musk-Trump regime to violate Canada’s independence, and annex Canada, take Mexico’s government under control, seize Greenland.\nThe 3 world’s dictators, Russia’s Putin, Musk’s and Trump’s new US, and China’s Xi abandoned any pretense of civility, or respect for international laws and agreements.\nThis is the new world of tule of brute force. I never thought that I would live in this nightmare!

I am from Poland and I support wholeheartedly CANADA !!!! Trump is a russian agent whose aim is to wreck havock in the western world!!! Lond Live Canada!!! Long Live Trudeau!!! Slava Ukraini!!! Shame on Trump!!!

Yes! Trudeau, I know this is hurting all of us. Thank you for standing against Trump. So proud of you for fighting back. Unfortunately we have to live with this jerk. He has destroyed all of us. He doesn't realize how much it is affecting the rest of the World. God Bless You and the citizens of Canada. I pray this ends soon. Stick to your beliefs. Do your best. I'm sorry to all of you for our greedy dictator. That you have to suffer because of his greediness. Not all of us believe in what he is doing.

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

Canada, I don't blame you if you want to flip the middle finger at us Americans. We are responsible for having a monster and lunatic in the White House. We deserve to not be liked by Canadians, period. If I was a Canadian, I would not welcome Americans into Canada. We Americans are losers and suckers everyday that we do not fight back against MAGA and all of its republicans including Congress and Donald Trump. We are weak and live in servitude to the MAGA tyranny that is slowing destroying the United State's standard of living and reputation. Canada, I personally stand with you, and hope that your country will assist the resistance movement in the next revolution to take out Donald Trump and MAGA. I am so fired up and pissed off at my government and Donald Trump.

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

I m not American but live in US and I stand with Canada!

I live in Washington State and I’ve stopped seeing “Beautiful British Columbia” license plates almost completely. Canada is not fucking around and I stand with them. They have been the best neighbors ever. ??❤️???

I Live in Michigan, and I Never Voted for this Monster ?, Trump....\n I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz....\n I Do Not Endorse Trump's Crazy Tariffs....\n On Behalf of ALL Americans, Who Never Endorsed, These Three stooges, that are Destroying my Country....\n I can Only Hope We can Get Through, This, and I dont Blame Canada, or Mexico, for the Backlash Against Us.....\n I support you're Position.....\nNever in my 62 Year's of being Alive, have I ever witnessed such raw pure Evil, as Trump, JD VANCE, Elon Musk.....\n I apologize in advance, and ask for you're Prayer ? that this Oppressiveness, will STOP ? Soon.....?

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

I would prefer to live in Canada than the USA. So ashamed of this government. The words peace is just a word to get ahead of other countries and victimize themselves.

I was glad that not too long ago... Trump actually did say the truth to the American people: Canada imports 95% of it's goods from the USA... with us refusing to buy American, with all of us buying Canadian or International products instead... how will he be making America great again ?? By bankrupting the country ?? Does he thinks that 25% tariffs will make Canadians shake in their pants and all of a sudden want to be the 51st State ?? No, it's just like bringing us back to the days before NAFTA. We were able to live back then and we will be able to now as well.

I live in California and I back Canada and Mexico. Do what you have to do Canada and Mexico. Trump is such a moron.

It is absolutely a shame what the United States is doing now. I want to leave this country and I was born and raised here . I have been a proud American a proud African-American woman. I am appalled and ashamed I was born and raised in Detroit right across from Canada so I am very close\n\nwith people that live in Canada and it’s a part of my history. I am at a loss for words. I hope that we can do something to stop this dictator. this liar, this cheater, this imposter.

I live in the USA. I believe this is what needs to happen in order to show Trump just how terrible he is at his job. He is ruining our country. We love you, Canada. We are so sorry that the majority voted this buffoon into our government. It's embarrassing and it's scary.

I stand with Canada. I live in Maine. Between DOGE cutting critical money needed for the elderly and education and the inflation from tariffs Maine is going to suffer a lot. .

Canadian’s can’t live month to month with the Sword of Damocles over our heads. I am glad we didn’t capitulate this month. These tariffs may hurt Canada more than the US but we are clearly far too dependent on the US and will benefit more from the tariffs in the long run (by reducing our dependency).

This guy is a liar. Trudeau is a liar. I live in Maine 40 minutes outside of the Canadian border. I have trail cameras everywhere that pick up people crossing the border all the time in the United States from Canada. We’ve seen it. It’s everywhere all over the state. And where else will they have strong forests full as far as the eyes can see cause 90% of Maine is for the Woods thick dense force in woods anybody can get through that with a compass in the will.

i live in Canada and i do not agree with what Justin Trudeau is doing. We SHOULD back down from fighting! This is a war we cannot win.❤ Most people in Canada want Justin out of office. The government here is out of touch with reality, and out of control too.❤ i think Donald is doing a pretty good job. He is putting tariffs on imports because he wants people to buy items that are made in the United States of America. i think that is a good thing for Donald to do for the country of United States: putting America first.❤ The way i see it is that Canada is going to war with both Russia and the United States of America! Crazy.

I was born and live in the US and trust me, there are many people including me who not only didn't vote for Trump, but can't believe his ridiculous rhetoric and actions. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

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

I purchased my canadian flag today and I live in the u.S I stand behind you, one hundred percent canada! I love you and love everything you stand for. He's a lunatic in there is no reasoning with a lunatic. His cult following has gone too far. I couldn't ask for better neighbors.I couldn't ask for better friends. I love you, and I will more than proudly, fly your flag on my porch!!! ❤❤❤

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

As an American, i am embarrassed and stand with Canada. It's gotten so expensive to live here in California it's ridiculous and the IRS still wants 2-3 thousand in taxes every year if you don't have any dependents to claim.

I am so embarrassed and sickened by my government. I live in WA state and have always loved and respected Canada. Mr. Trudeau you are a far superior leader and human than anyone in our government today. God bless you and Canada, and I pray for my country everyday.

Great speech, at last a Leader standing up to trump and his cronies. Canada needs you so a shame you are not continuing. As a born Brit but now an Aussie my husband and I applaud you. The Democratic world needs to stand up to trump and musk. Canadians are tough and just know that many of us are with you in spirit and wherever we live are not buying US products either. Go Canada ?? and the Canadians ?

I live in Australia and I totally support Canada.

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

GOD BLESS CANADA, LONG LIVE CANADA. I am a student immigrant who had a choice between US and Canada. I chose Canada, and I have never regretted my choice. The people might not know this but Canada is an amazing country. People have no idea how Canadians have built a fantastic country in some of the toughest conditions. Canadians are some of the most polite, helpful and kind people.

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

My family moved from Normandy, France to Canada and then to the U.S. I wish I could live in Canada instead of here, because you're a great leader ❤️

Both my sons were born in Canada! I lived in Windsor and Tecumseh, Ontario for 6 years. I love the Canadian people and my in laws even though divorced from their brother (who is deceased now). I wish I could move back! I am ashamed to live here right now!

With a dish, respectful Prime Minister like Justin Trudeau, if I were President Donald J Trump I would immediately double the Tariffs. And I live in Canada. \nIt just shows that on his way out, he doesn’t care a bit about any Canadian . They was so many things Justin Trudeau has done in his tender being Prime Minister wrong

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.

0:34-0:37 “Canadians are reasonable and polite…”\nThen why am I in Canada for one minute getting yelled at by CBSA…\n\nBro Justin stop lying.\n\nY’all need to stop it, I’d rather live in Japan than Canada…\nAt least they don’t talk about race all day long. Smh

? I would rather live in Canada than the USA any day. This is a true leader and a good one .

I’m American and I stand with Canada also Ukraine. Trump has made the US a nightmare and joke to live in. I was afraid his first term and terrified this second term. I did not vote or support this man.

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

As an American, I am embarrassed by our leadership. Presidents like Trudeau and Zelensky are men to look up to. They may not be perfect, but they remain strong and confident in the face of the tyranny of Trump and Putin. I live an hour from the Canadian border, and they have been nothing but kind and amazing every time I've ever visited. My support is with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. It is a dark and embarrassing time to be an American.

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 live in canada and i hate this girl

Trump is not my president!!! ?????I live in Utah. We are with Canada, Europe and Mexico. Putin is enemy for all of us. He is manipulating with idiot Trump.

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.
