We know this but we are stuck now watching this clown hurt us! We love Canada!

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States. they know it will harm American families, but the United States government currently does not care. They want to harm Americans so that they can create a slave class and a ruling class.

❤Love From Singapore. Great Respect to Canada which participated many Justice wars but never brag and expect for credits return❤

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States.

Mutch love from the Netherlands to Canada. We will never forget or stop supporting our liberators????❤️??\nVery nice speech and it hurts me to see this happen to Canada.

We used to say, we love Canada almost as much as we love our USA. It has become a backwards statement.

GO TRUDEAU!! GO TRUDEAU!! LOVE YOU CANADA!! (From a pissed off American)

trump is just a COMPLETE idiot .... we want CANADA as an ALLY !!! they love us & all you MAGA supporters DID THIS ! ?‍?

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

I could not love this more!!! American, here. Sock it to us!! It's going to take Canada, Mexico, and Europe to force Trump to back down and stop being a b@by @$$ little b!tch!

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤

The Canadian president just slammed Trump and his group of goons!! We love you Canada ❤

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau!\nWe Love Canada!\nWe are So Sorry that the criminal in the White House has brought us to this moment with our neighbors!\nMerci Beaucoup Prime Minister! \nOur hearts are broken!\n???

love that these Canada first businesses still cannot seem to hire Canadians, as store after store is staffed by indians.

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.

I love Canadian people; they're amazing people. I have friends from there. Canada.

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

Well done PM TREADAU . Europe has to back up Canada fully. we need to put this nasty sick russian TRUMPET in its place!! Who wud thought one day the UNITED STATES that we all love stands next to communist and dictatorships !!? love from Manchester

As an American, I have never been so embarrassed by our so-called president. He’s a disgrace. He’s a vile human who should be in prison. Canada, we love you. We’re not all asshats like the infantile Trump.

Trump is the disappointment .... give us 25% . The good country is stable. And also about the drugs and ilegal alians ...is nothong to do with Canada. But Trump says so . And also say i love Canada, and you can clearly see on he's face looks like is one big enemy of Canada .. Trump playimg same and even more stupid game as 2018, and many American did suffer, and he's doing things again, going up all ready, but Trump promised to be down and even Ukraine War will end in one Day..... woow what the idiot

As an American US veteran, I love this President. Go Canada. We love you ❤️❤️❤️

Canada, you are very good friend of us. Sorry for our president.Please, stay strong! We love you! We want our elected officials investigate treason of the current president of US

Canadians are very reasonable and very Polite people. I love you Canada and all the Canadians.

From México with love. Canada ?? ?

We apologize on behalf of the almost 50% voters who didn't vote for Agent Orange and the Nazi-saluting President Musk. We love Canada! Please get your centrifuges running because you won't need much enriched Uranium to scare off Daddy Putin and his lapdogs in the White House. You have the know how. The only way to stand up to bullies is to show them you are not frightened of them. God Bless You!

I support Canada all the way!! Love the way he speaks! ❤❤

To our British friends commenting below, could you tell YOUR Prime Minister, Mr. Starmer to show a little more support for us here in Canada, he's not super popular here at the moment but we would love to give him a second chance.

I love Canada.... Trudeau speaks so well and he is very professional at all times. This is a true model of what a president should be. Those clowns that we have in office ??are embarrassing on all levels. Hey President Trudeau, quick question... Would you like to be president of Canada and USA?

We love you Canada , I am sorry for what we , the USA , is doing ! PLEASE forgive us .

Canada, please take note, I did not vote for the orange lump. He does not speak for me. He does not speak for a lot of us. Stay strong, and proud. The next 4 years are going to be rough, but America has been through worse and this too shall pass. Love to Canada & Ukraine. ?

Good words Canada, we love you not Trump!!!

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.

Sadly I am ashamed of being American. The Current administration is evil. Love you Canada

Go Canada ??????‼️ From An American Citizen We Love You!!!✝️✝️??????????????♾️????????❤️❤️❤️‼️

Canada ?? we are sorry about our dumb president. we are with you, i would love to live there. union member and home owner. proud father, husband, and american would like to say, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time….

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

As a Canadian, it's really nice to see all the comments in support of Canada. Canadians love Americans too. Best of luck to both countries.

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

Ughhhhhh this sucks so much. We love you Canada!!

I love Canada ?

I love this guy!! Thank you Canada for standing up to the tyrant!!!

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.
