I am an American, I support Canada and Ukraine, not Vladimir Putin and Russia. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! I'm sorry to say we have a wannabe dictator as president, I will never understand how he was ever voted in as president, he is not my president.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

I never thought I would say this but this is the best speech I have ever seen… ??

As a German I will never ever set my foot into the US as long as this bully or his gang is in charge. God bless Canada!

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) – \n \nYours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 4th of March 2025: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

As an American we are getting a Golden Shower from Trump. As an American I have never been more disappointed of my country then I am now. You do what ever you need to for your awesome country. I believe everything you stated because it's that easy to look into. Trump and Musk are Russian puppets that is easy to prove but the idiots here do not understand the facts. Most of America supports you. God Bless!!

Hell yeah JT. (Never thought i would ever say that)

For the time being Europe including my country, UK, we have to work together because unbelievably America is not our ally... Wow.. That sounds insane! In my 57 years I've never Heard such a thing, or ever thought this would happen... A Russian ally.. Blowing our heads off, just unreal!!!

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Dear Canada, I am glad you are standing up to our horrible leaders. I never in my life ever expected to see a President of the U.S. side with Russia over our allies. We know the that he is gaslighting the world using the fentanyl excuse. We did not all vote for the orange menace, but now we will do everything we can to rid our country and the world of this MAGA scourge.

Never have I ever wanted more than I do now to move to Canada. What a lucid, professional and accurate depiction of what is really going on. I only hope that more Americans understand that we cannot alienate and anger our closest allies without dire consequences. Thank you for being a voice of reason, Trudeau.

Has everyone forgot that during Trumps first term HE signed the biggest and best trade deal that anyone’s ever seen ( in his words ) with Mexico and Canada? He sat right in front of cameras and did it , and as usual showed off his fantastic signature. THAT trade deal was NEVER changed, even thru the last 4 years administration. But all of a sudden Trump walks in mouthing about it, blaming everyone else for it, and ready to change things? Why? What’s the issue? Let me guess… does he not remember doing that either?

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

Im sorry but i gotta say i do not agree with our government and president never have ever since 2016. Looks like i never will too since our people are so invested in teams and the propaganda spewed from both sides that actual issues get muddied.

TRUMP IS A MENTALLY ILL , WANNABE DICTATOR, NOTHING MORE. NEVER WAS , NEVER WILL BE THIS VETERAN'S PRESIDENT. HE IS A COWARD , NARCISSCIST AND TRAITOR TO OUR CONSTITUTION . DONT SELL OUT TO THIS DRAFT DODGER WHO DENIGRATES VETERANS. HE WAS EPSTEIN'S BEST FRIEND , GOOD CHRISTIANS. HE PARDONED THE LARGEST FENTANYL DEALER EVER. THAT YOUR DADDY , MAGA.

I’m very very proud to be Canadian! I’m extremely proud that I’ve sold off ALL of my USA held stocks prior to the market fall! I will never ever moving forward invest in USA! Ever! Even when Trump is dead and buried! I’m done with the country that voted for the man the second time. Shame!

Never would I have ever thought that I am happy that world leaders are against America but we are here. I fought for this nation, and we elected a dictator

I'd rather move to Canada. Never thought I would ever say that.

politicians should never be allowed to do anything that wasnt noted on thier campian. This is how they get away with everything. NO ONE EVER VOTED FOR TARIFFS

This is Trump's version of The Wizard of Oz. Fentanyl was NEVER the issue. Why would an administration BENT on ruining federal workers' livelihood, cutting off food to the global poor via cruel reductions in USAid, gutting Medicaid show ANY concern for drug-related deaths?\n\nAstute author Naomi Klein (from Canada) coined the terminology of The Shock Doctrine. THAT is what's being done, but this time, instead of it being aimed at Middle East nations, it is hitting the U.S and its neighbors.\n\nShame on the fools pretending to be leaders, fools that our supreme court should have prevented from EVER holding office. SHAME!

As a 66 year old Canadian, never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine the USA as an enemy to Canada. I know it's not all Americans and my heart aches for them, but the relationship is permanently damaged beyond repair. Stay strong Canada....no more American products or spending our tourist dollars there.

Good on Canada. Trump is a traitor, as is Vance and the entire Administration. Americans are deeply embarrassed by the harm Trump is doing to the United States and the world. We do NOT stand with Trump and never, ever will.

Never in my lifetime did I ever think that my country would ever pick a fight with our brotherly neighbor, yet here we are! This is unbelievable.

i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

As your average American citizen, I have no reason to give a fuck about Canada because I do not make enough money nor will I probably ever make enough money to want to go to a country that doesn’t allow their own citizens the right to own guns, not a single thing that man pleaded for and sympathy made any sense as the average American, who works his ass off I could give a fuck a less about Canada as a country just like every other country there’s no point of giving a fuck about them I’m never gonna be able to go to them and anyway, even if I did go to them, you get robbed by some piece of shit because a lot of them are Third World countries and you can’t even defend yourself. Absolute fucking jokes

Real American patriots would work to build a better future. They wouldn't align themselves with they autocrats, oligarchs and dictators. And they would never vote for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. They would never vote for a man who was substantially supported by a Russian influence operation to win his first term. And they would not support, let alone re-elect, a person who tried to subvert an election and incite a mob to attack a peaceful transition of power.\n\nTrudeau speaks truth. But the craven, uneducated masses and bigots of MAGA, along with the republicans who fear them, will never, ever listen to it. They're beyond redemption.

We could never buy from you ever and not feel ? ???

So trump/america destroys it's friendship/trade with all it's allies to suck up to a Russian dictator?please make it make sense please!!!!also...never thought i would ever agree with anything Justin trudeau said but hey his definitely right on this one?

Canada has helped the U.S. many times. What about the Haiti crisis in the U.S? Don’t you all remember, Biden asked Trudeau to step in and we did. Now there is no crisis. Do you ever hear the U.S thank Canada? How about the many many times we went in to help with natural disasters? You never hear that. \n\nThe RUMP says that the U.S subsidizes Canada and gave a huge amount of money. That is an outright lie.

Funny how none of these actions were being taken before Trump went crazy slapping charges on these countries. I’m not for the heavy handed view Trump seems to be taking, but I’ll NEVER, NEVER, EVER crap where I sleep. It’s shameful to think this country is filled with so many weak treasonous cowards. \n\nCanada took advantage of Biden just like Mexico did, so this “we’re innocent” stuff won’t play. A lot of your fellow Americans have died and the mainstream media has you believing we’ve not already been at war… wake up!

I don’t care what no one say. It has never been done like this in American history with no president and all our presidents. We have 40 iCarly 44 president I do not call this guy a president. I do not give him the 45th or will I give him 47 I will say 44 and 46. I will always skip this guy because he’s not a president. No president act like a brat no president act like a female without no president act like a female without blood no president act like a kid without a tater tot no like a kid without some type of pacifier in his mouth and for the fact that in the first time in all our lives when your grandparents died, your great grandparents died your mom probably just died and then this is what we have as an American president and American economy and an American ministration never in my whole entire life. I seen this in part of an American history. I took the class I could I could You is never gonna find anything like this in American history until now and that’s why I say I don’t give a damn what they say. He only went into the presidency to cover his behind. That was it. He went into, not giving a damn if he was the worst he always gonna claim he’s the best but numbers don’t lie, sir numbers don’t lie Your fans might say whatever they don’t lie right now your fans are the same people calling the constituents yelling at they constituent ready to fight constituents because numbers lie, sir numbers don’t lie and it’s proven. You are the worst ever in American history. It’s proven that it’s proven that no matter what so good luck with all that hypocritical talk you wanna talk but there’s no way in hell I will vote for JD Vance no way in hell this administration would ever like recoverfrom what they have done to the American people rather vote independent Democrat then vote Republican the only way I vote Republican is Chris Cristi running for Republican for the White House if it’s not Chris Cristi I don’t fuck with no more Republicans, Chris Cristi or nothing

Do what you have to do Trudeau. We don’t blame you in America. Trump is disgracing us all over the world running this country into the ground. The stock market is down. Prices are up joblessness is up and this is before the tariffs. Maybe when these red state people can’t afford food, they will wake up to what we knew Our entire lives, watching the news in New York growing up. Trump‘s grandfather led to Europe to avoid mandatory military service. Not a single member of his family in-laws or any generation has ever served in the military. He has screwed over every contractor and blue-collar worker that ever works for him while grouping young, teen girls at his beauty pageants. Simultaneously bankrupting several casinos Trump state Trump airline Trump Water Stealing all the money from his charity, so he is never allowed to run a charity again and somehow, these morons elected him to be president of our country. If we have to hurt a little bit to get this cancer removed from our country so be it. Make America great again by praying for Trump to choke on a big Mac.

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

I am from New York ?? but I am standing with Canada ?? all the way ? I am not supporting Trump or did I ever voted for this orange piece of $#*+. Trump voters and fanatics you are the blame for your ignorance. So go ahead cry on social media for your mistakes and ignorance you will never get a sympathy from me ever. I am done and I am standing on my business.

What is going to happen with NORAD? I am Canadian and I would have never expected such nonsense coming from an American president! I truly believe that Trump wants a third world war because he thinks it would help his country’s economy. He is definitely the worst president of the USA ever!

It is too bad. But war is declared against à thug à convicted felon and rapist. See the elegance of Trudeau amidst these hardtimes. We just won't be treated like a rug you walk on. Too bad for the American People. We will never ever do business with you whatever the government may be. It is over with US once and for all.

YOU elected this demented felon and WE are suffering for it. Canada should be given the right to vote in American elections, in which case that hideous excuse of a human being would never have been elected! We have our fair share of Maple Magas but I think now more than ever most Canadians see the timeliness of voting for a very successful banker and economist in our upcoming federal elections.

Canada wil NEVER, EVER forget this!! ?. Don't test our kindness....

I will never buy ANYTHING from an American company the rest of my life. EVER.

They let them in pre-1990s, deported them in 1990s and will never let muslims from the areas Europe is letting in with vast mumbers, ever again. They learned their lessons. Shame the west didnt learn the sane lessons before they opened the doors.

Did it ever occur to Canadians that if governments could create wealth there would never be recessions?

Students got their visas agreeing to bear the full cost of college showing proof of financial sources from home. Canadian government NEVER ever indicated it will help. In fact Canadian government has been too generous and linient in looking the other way when minimally qualified students flooded unknown colleges and schools and not exactly following the rules. They can flock to UK or Australia but thise governments are not blind to what has been happening in Canada and will likely impose similar restrictions.

I will never visit New York ever, ever again! Disgusting, Spineless Trash!

THERE SHOULD NEVER EVER BE SANCTUARY CITIES!! WOKE ARE PISSED WITH THE CUTTING OFF OF FUNDS!!

? first of all get it right mayor Adams is a criminal and he embezzled a lot of money from New York I grew up in the Upper East Side in New York okay and I used to like him until he was caught and and plenty of proof it's not about him doing anything about the migrants it's the fact that he changed his tune all the sudden when he's caught and Trump is willing to drop the cases as long as he goes with the flow and does with Trump says but if he doesn't he's legally allowed to bring the case back up that's why they have the case in court and the Seven judges resign because they refuse to drop a case a new was being dropped for political reasons not because he wasn't guilty and the fact that Trump had in writing that he could bring the charges back up there's only one thing that can mean if he doesn't go with the flow and be a good little soldier and doesn't do exactly what the orange buffoon tells them they can bring the charges back up that's never been done and is highly suspect that's called blackmail!\n\nBy the way a Democrats don't disagree with deportation and not letting illegal violent criminals into the country but we do disagree with separating women children and babies from their mothers and fathers and we do disagree with just deporting people that are brown black and Muslim many of them that aren't even violent now you can't tell me that it's the most racist deportation ever you name any Canadian any Australian or european that's being deported that's here illegally there's plenty of them I have plenty of friends that know people they work with that are Australian and Canadian and European that are illegally you don't see them getting deported I wonder why they're all white that's why!\n\nTrump wants to say he's only deporting violent criminal gang members more than half of the plane that he deported to a couple of different countries had plenty of people that weren't criminals or gang members and he even ended up deporting American soldiers and vets by mistake and they used a military carrying jet that cost $242,000 for every round trip 12 hours as opposed to what every other president uses a regular Boeing style jet that cost $102,000 for that round trip now you tell me that saving money that's called just showing off and guess who pays for that and he wants to do that every day oh that's a great way to save money?\nPlay you got Trump being harsher on Canadian Mexico than our enemies China and Russia oh that's right he's budding up and siding with Russia now over Ukraine telling the world Ukraine started the war? when Putin is obviously the aggressor and the war starter who even said on TV that he would have this war 3 months and no Russians would die! You now have this clown kissing his ass and spreading Russian propaganda that zielinski is a dictator Which is far from true because if it were true Trump would be actually kissing his ass like he does with every other dictator? I'm lying about he has a 4% of ratings Which is far from the truth he's got 54% rating zelensky which are higher than Trump's right now Trump's ratings are below that and they're going down fast!\nHe is crushing in the stock market he's crushing the economy and grocery prices are sky-high thanks to his tariff solution quote that he doesn't have a clue how they work

Bullcrap about mayor Eric Adam’s. The liberals sold him out just because he questioned the unsustainable situation in being a sanctuary city. They demonized him because he spoke out and drummed up fake charges as they always do. Also why is it that no one ever talks about the fact that having an open border is a recipe for disaster with infectious disease. It has put our country at high risk of having outbreaks of diseases that we have never been exposed to which can be a national disaster way more than Covid was.

New York protects these aliens and 16,000 is a pittance compared to the 15 million illegal aliens that you let in on your Southern border that you'll never ever be able to get rid of so why is Canada treated so harshly compared to your own Nation definitely a one-sided story

Born and raised in Ontario and spent most of my life in Toronto. Left permanently in 2012 and it's the best decision I ever made. Now I live in Finland. I'd never go back.
