So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

I mess with trump but he been doing alot of dirty things in the last week im definitely 50/50 now from a hunnit%

We aren't blaming you for the tariffs or any of these messes. It's on our president as well as Elon Musk. A very dumb thing to do by our government. If I could I'd move to Canada.

Every leader in the world sounds like a smart and intellectual person except ours we have a dumb limit vocabulary hot mess of a person representing only the racist,dumb crazy and rich group of us wow

Canada is in this mess. Cause of this pethic clown. This fake leaderless and his government. And Canadians are still waiting for their carbon tax dollars to be given to them. Also the borders are not safe they are easy to cross. Keep lies going.

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

Donald messed up, bigtime!

Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

He caused all this mess. Little dictator tariffs his own people for his own gain. Look up SDTC scandal. Most crooked liar in the history of Canada. Total loser buddy needs to realize his time is over

Jeezz! What a difference between this guy and our president ? I still can’t believe we’re in this mess, it feels like a nightmare.. a nightmare that will last 4 years… ?

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

Hey …can you address the port tax on boats transporting goods. 1.5 million $ when a boat delivers goods through US ports if the boat carrying the goods was built in China. What about américain transport companies using china built boats ? Hope my country cuts your electricity. Than maybe Americans will wake up to the global mess they let this clown show create.

trump played the republican voters and putin playing trump. What an absolute mess.

Why did Canadians dislike this guy so much before all this? Because some Russian trolls on social media disguised as Canadians told them to? That's how we got Trump! It seems like they learned from our mistake. I hope they did. Look, all over the world, things are tough, post pandemic. It's not just your country. You can be patient as left leaning leaders use data and expertise to get things running again...OR you can elect these far right NUTCASES, AND MAKE A MESS THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE! DON'T TRUST THE FAR RIGHT! YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. THEY WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEMSELVES ONLY, AND WILL TELL YOU WHATEVER LIE YOU NEED TO HEAR TO GET INTO OFFICE.

Mmm....????.\nWhy are we even listening to a guy who resigned to lead our nation ?\nNobody understands he and his party are the root of the problem ?.\nHe's a complete incompetent, and he's the one responsible for all this mess.\nNow, he's worried about the border and the fentanil crisis, when everyone in BC knows that the mountains are full in laboratories producing fentanil..\nNow, he's worried about Canadians and crisis..\nWhen he's leaving the country sunk in the biggest debt of all times...\nSeriously, this is FUBAR.\nEnough is enough Trudeau, you already did enough damage, step away for the benefit of Canadians.\nGo, just go away and forever.

Trudeau making a strong case, but will Trump even listen? This situation is a mess, and everyday people will be the ones paying the price

What a MESS!!!\nCome quickly carma to Chump

How the hell Americans chosed a freak leader? It's pretty clear Trump is working with Putin to mess up nations.

This is soooo messed up

Dont understand why trump is messing with canada, its actually fucking dumb. Trump talking about ww3, if America dont stop everyone will be against us. Drugs coming through different states from mexico to make it to Canada not from canada into the United States.

Shut up Trudeau. Your not tuff and you got us into this mess

This moron has gutted his country over the past 8 years, He is an out of control, manipulative, self-deluded tyrant. Period. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with the economic mess this country in.

Hi from Canada... When you look at a long line of MAGA't Zombie voters and you see them all smiling and collectively they make one complete set of teeth and then you allow them to vote in their golden pig and make him president, this is what you get! I realise that everyone that is good and decent in the USA bent over backwards not to look down or insult MAGA't types for fear of further alienating them, all it has done is backfired both upon good and decent Americans but upon the cult of Orange Jesus as well. So now we're left with this dystopian mess. Long past time to take the gloves off and get into the fight. Pretend you're all hockey players playing the Russians... leave it ALL on the ice!!!

It messed up were siding with Russia messed up all you people that bashing Ukraine are fucked up

As an American I am so ashamed of the actions happening.....what a fool in our WH. Thank you Trudeau for your words. Our markets are a mess and will get worse.

I would not mess with Trudeau he has Walter White on his side

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

Nazis feared Leo Major, the canadian Rambo...\nNo one mess lightly with Canada ☠?☠\n\nLove from France ??❤??

Pound sand Trump, if you think you can push Canada around you have no idea who you're messing with. Americans should be ashamed of themselves for voting in this orange clown twice. Russian asset.

This Old-Senile-Demented-47-criminal wants to start World War 3. Oh yes 47 is a jerk idiot, that’s why I’m supporting Canada. ???.Trudea wants to save life,but this American Con-artist wants to destroy life to keep his money ( read what the holy scripture said about the love of money ) money and power. I hope you Americans are happy. If you want soldiers to go and kill other mother’s children for this despicable criminal, not my friends, families or fellow Christian. If y’all want slaves , you voted for this criminal, so you go slave for him (47). I’m already mourning for those innocent who will get killed. Read : 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 26:14,15. Like I said, you Trash-republicans and maga morons created this con artist, you take care of this mess. As for me I support Canada and all those other countries that this American Con Artist tried to Bully At?????

This is a down right disgrace. I don't know why anyone vote for that man because he is doing more harm than good. A dozen of eggs are $9.00, that's more than a gallon of milk. That man is trying to destroy our country. God Almighty is going to step in real soon. God bless this country and he is trying to mess it up.

AMERICAN citizens here: WE do NOT support TRUMPS RAPE of our nation.... Dear Canada the majority of Americans are SO ashamed and embarrassed of this whole mess...?

MAGA ?????? I resent this Azzhol PM he made Canada a mess , I have Family in Canada ?? they can’t wait till he’s out …Canadian hate Trudeau . Zelensky is a pompous little “ Dicktator “resigned but he’s still there what a JERK \nHow dare he address our President Trump as he does .. he’s gonna get his Karma

we are so fucked in USA. Please don't take the electricity in New York. We the Americans never dream of this mess, please forgive us❤

Trump wants Canada to be 51st state? This is wrong. Trump might have some Russian friends pushing him to mess with Canada. God help Canada ?? ? ❤

Spoiler alert, noone gives a damn where you are from and what your propagandized opinion is no matter what side you are on. All you followers without your own mind is why this world is so messed up. Blame yourselves sheep

Canada is in this mess because of Trudeau. It sure as hell is not Trump. Trump is just playing hardball. What did all you idiot, left wing morons think was going to happen? Trudeau is a narcissist and is not helping this Country. He is increasing the damage that will be inflicted upon us. If you don't see that it is a strong statement on how drastically the education system has failed in the 2 countries.

It's going to be a ? hot Mess!

Prime Minister Trudeau, I can safely say I do not support what Trump has done, and definitely did not vote for the orange man. The majority of us Americans are with you... We are sorry. This is just a hot mess, and it is only March...

Bravo, Mr. Trudeau, hat off. Let's hope Donald finally understands that the Sun does not orbit around his belly button. He'd better play dominoes in an old folks' home than mess everyone's lifes. What a failed human being.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

DT is isolating us from our friends and allies while raising prices on everything. Hes a russian asset, who has paired with an american oligarchy to strip our rights and our government. I heard Kamala is running in 2028. It cant come fast enough. I feel so bad having her come in and try to clean up the mess DT is making and made. WE'RE THE BAD PEOPLE NOW!?

Trudue is the reason we are in this mess

Stupid ass Trump is making enemies right and left to please Putin. He is a sell out to Russia. He is not making America great. The dumb ass is making America worse. \nI am proud of Canada and their leadership. Nothing like the mess we have now here in the US.

Gosh, how is it possible that 2 people Putin and Trump make such a mess in the world?!

“THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN A TRADE WAR!” I would defect to Canada any day! But because of a decision I made as a young man, I can not leave this country. I’m imprisoned in this tragic mess. Kudos to you Trudeau. Stand up for yourselves…. Be the sleeping giant. Proud of you all!

I guess siding with the bully as he was messing with many counties all these years is now hitting back to both EU and Canada. Very brave speech, though. Unfortunately, international affairs are driven by economic and military power, not by intellectual capacity.

tHIS GUAY A BOZZO HE THE REAL REASON WHY CANADA IN THIS MESS ONLY THIS CLOWN

You guys know this is not about fentynol right. This is to isolate and weaken our country. For the takeover. I hate to say it, but maga got us into this mess and maga has to get us out

Oil, electricity, potash: put export taxes on all of them. Premier Ford is sure on board with stopping the electricity flow, that's for sure. It will be a mess, but a half measured response won't do it.
