Has Trump not considered the amount of fentanyl that is actually being produced right in his own country, same as in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

I wish America had a leader like Trudeau. Imagine a government that actually says it wants to help its citizens during this challenging time in the world. Versus Trump and Musk cutting government programs that help vulnerable people survive.

Trump is putting US National Security in big danger by making its biggest allies and closest neighbors its enemy # 1. \nCongratulations to Putin, he really manipulates Trump to create chaos and disintegrate the best alliance in the World.

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.

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

as an american, I hope not only canada, but also the rest of the world sells their resources to other countries. trump needs to learn that america is not able to stand alone!

All of Europe is on your side, dear Canadians. The majority of Americans voted for Trump, thus abandoning a centuries-old tradition of reason and ethical standards. But the free world still exists. Let's work together. Europe is here and Europe likes you. :)

MAGA Trump fascist administration and his fascist billionaire oligarchs are traitors to the rest of the Westin democratic world ? ????????

Trump is burning the house down to test if that would warm the house faster. The man is a total imbecile living on a golden toilet with a phone that puts him in a bubble surrounded by psychopaths, cultists and wanna-be oligarchs beholden to a KGB agent specialised since the '70ties to manipulate gullible foreign business men. \n\nThere exist no scenario in which this will end well before the 4 years run out, he will destroy the western world though either is own greed&ego fuelled stupidity, his blinded with white power hate cultists or the wanna be oligarchs. STOP THIS NOW AMERICANS WHILE YOU STILL CAN AND WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A COUNTRY AND NEIGHBOURS THAT RESPECT YOU.

TRUMP AND (J.D VANCE) Show in front of the world.. About the minéral deal.. \n\nWas planified.. Ever since the 1st meeting between Trump and Poutine... Trump chose to work with poutine instead of état was his closes Allies

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Is this world War 3 trump is starting

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Thanks for isolating our country to the rest of the world Trump. God didn’t work this fast.

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

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.

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

What kind of an ally America with Trump as president?An idiot and trouble makers around the world...

Canadians fought and died with the U.S. in both world wars and Iraq, bailed us out in many natural disasters including both sets of recent California wildfires, and spent billions trying to improve their relationship with America… and this is how Trump supposed to repay them? Allies indeed.

Trump is a traitor to the free world! Good for you Canada.

So, it's the World Vs the USA/Russian coalition ...\nGood job Trump, you fucked your country!

Well if Trump crashes the US economy then like… Liz Truss as prime minister in the UK he should resign as president… which then takes America from out of the frying pan into the fire with president Vance… and if he ever becomes president, I would say world war 3 will be inevitable.

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

What's wrong with Trump? he is only creating chaos and harm in the world and in US. He is not capable of representing America! impeach him. For a lesser reason Bill Clinton was impeached! why can' this loony go?

Instead of uniting free worlds trump decided to please puttin

This is sad but you must understand that the richest man in the world is ruling over America now and Trump merely wants to be included in the Oligarchs that want to take over. Oligarchs once ran the Soviet Union I guess they are trying to figure out how to do this again. An Oligarchy and a democracy cannot coexist. They are in contradiction to each other…

Trump is a vile disease to our world. He does not care about America or American people. He cares only for his own selfish agenda. America is a laughing stock around the world due to the stupidity of the Americans who voted for this pervert Trump.

Trump is to make the rest nation of the western world on their own and away from US. Make All Go Away. MAGA.

Donald Trump is a blight upon humanity. The sooner we are in a post-Trump world, the better.

The us relationship isn’t just deteriorated between them and Canada \nIt is the same for any other country in the world just now \nThe US doesn’t have a genuine friend now anywhere other than Russia and North Korea \n\nFrankly, I hope Trump continues his stupidity and it kills the US because the only way to demonstrate to the immense dumb electorate that supports Trump is for his own idiocy to hurt them. We don’t have time to try to educate them now. These people are an equal mix of ignorance, racism and entitlement. \n\nI’m in france and I’ll be honest, if I see or hear a US national (and we can figure out who is Canadian and not) then they will get no help from anyone here. \n\nThe US i grew up admiring as a kid in the U.K., the us I subsequently worked and lived in, the us people I worked with globally … all gone\nAnd frankly, it is the fault of the American electorate

The United States of America needs to dispose of Trump NOW. This is travesty. I am an American crying now to see what this monster is doing to our country and the world especially our allies. SHAME ON TRUMP AND THOSE WHO ARE WITH AND FOR HIM. Have the decency to step aside or start behaving like a president not an embarrassment.

Trump is not leader of the free world,but Putin’s messenger, the traitor of the free world.

Americans we are sorry booing anthem. Please get through Trump. Thanks for the worlds reaction and Americans. Terrible mistake.

Canada, your PM is lightyears ahead of the orange clown in mental capacity - but I guess you already knew that. Trump is the laughing stock of the world!

Before the US election, any concern about Trump's radical proposals was dismissed as falling for his hyperbole or over-reaction, that Trump was just babbling and didn't actually mean half of what he said on any given day. And this was the argument from those trying to defend his campaign. now, watching him deliver on one whackadoo plan after another.. so freaking depressing. The only bright star I have found is that there are still functioning democracies around the world. Never thought I would become a refugee of a totalitarian state. That is now in the realm of possible futures.

The Oligarchs are getting their dreams fulfilled. It's not a trade war its a decoy to what is coming. Population is blindsided. \n Won't be a Christmas either.. \nWait and see !\n Putin Elon & Trump are the world leaders like it or not.

I think Trump is tired of our trade deficit with Canada. I have faith in Trump. This has nothing to do with the Canadian people. If people want to have a mutual alliance, then they have to step up and play fair as well.\n\nGod bless President Trump, America and the World in Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen! ??

???Now the USA is not a reliable country nor a reliable seller, so Trump is destroying his own country. Besides this crazy tax-tariff thing, now the whole world has seen that Trump has removed the military aid to Ukraine... so the whole world has seen that if you buy weapons to the USA or you use them, the USA will extort you or leave you stranded even in dangerous situations. So now NOBODY is going to buy weapons to the USA, and considering that the American economy massively relies on its military industry, this can cause a huge collapse. Other countries and other markets will step up and take the position of the USA in the market and the world, because other countries are reliable, especially those in Europe and Canada, and the USA is not.

Are fellow Americans friends and neighbors, the Americans people are very welcome to come to Canada as are close friends, the American jerk President Trump and his idiotics cabinet and their new alliance of alleys ARE NOT WELCOME TO OUR AND YOURS COUNTRY, sadly enough, you do not have a President, you have a BULLY IN AND A CRIMINAL AT BEST, TRYING TO RUIN THIS WORLD OF OURS, we all need to work together on getting this world of ours back together,

President Trump a smart man? Well, this sounds like a joke!! President Trump is just stabbing his allies in the back in a world that's strictly globalized!! He's just demolishing decades and decades of friendly relationships and cooperation with the free western world, mining alliances ( NATO ), without a reasonable justification! He's actually isolating the USA from the rest of the civil world! Greetings from Italy, EUROPE!!

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

You would think it would be up to America to secure it's own border. The richest country in the world and they want Mexico to pay for it. Talk about entitled trump.

It happens to be ‘a very troubling and uncertain world’ because of Donald Trump. Giving Putin the green light ‘to do whatever he wants’ in Europe makes the world dangerous. If Trump is gone, we’re one step closer to making the world a safer and better place.

Its all so obvious. Trump tanks markets. And his billionaire friends buy buy buy buy. And then trump lifts all the tarrifs! profit profit profit profit profit! He's old. this is like his last kiss good bye to his family and billionaires! Money money money. The whole world getting grifted.

Very good Canada.stand up against a neighbor who is a bully and a fool.To americans,remove trump from office.he is destroying your country and the world.
