Canada is going to be America Soon. Good Luck . You have destroyed your people long enough. Daddy needs to fix your decades of mistakes.

Thank you Mr T and Canada!

American here in the PNW standing with Canada! I wish our current administration was as well-spoken as Trudeau! Instead we get the orange criminal and his chainsaw wielding minion. ?

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

Loser US doesn't need Canada anywhere near as much as Canada needs the US for their economy.

Damn, I wish I could move to Canada

Tarrifs should be removed from Canada but it definitely needs to stay with Mexico. Mexico is the problem.

Sir, you spoke like a gentleman, Portugal is on the side of Canada ❤

This American says: WHOOO GO CANADA!

This is all just a pretense for Trump (Not the US) to invade Canada, with the blessing of China and Russia. Make no mistake, this is an axis of evil trying to establish a new world order. This is just the beginning of the coming storm. Good luck to the free world; we’re going to need it.

Slava Canada

F Trumpf. Go Canada ??

This breakup with Canada will be used to justify getting much needed minerals and such from... yes you guessed right, Russia and Ukraine, as soon as we abandon them to the butcher. Their intentions and motives are incredibly transparent and yet, the streets are not filled with protests, yet. Disband both political parties and start with new push forward with the great experiment of a melting pot society based on democracy where education is the primary moving force.

Superb speech. And a clear casus belli for Trump. If the US economy is down significantly, he'll blame Canada, arguing that you've put unfair tariffs on the US with the specific purpose of hurting them (which is undeniable!) and it's Anschluss time, baby. Never underestimate how crazy he is.

I love Canada. Canada will always be our ally, but there appears to be some “one sided-ness”. I believe the biggest issue being drugs coming across our border. \nAs someone who lives on the border, we see many Canadian cars coming to the US to shop. They even wear clothes that they throw away in dumpsters so they can wear their new clothes back to Canada without having to pay tax. \nI wish they wld accommodate to our requests.\n\nP.S. I love the idea of becoming one nation. I wld love to join as one nation. Nothing forced, I just love the idea. God bless both our countries.\nWe’ll get through this.

Please don’t pay put traffics on Canada! I can’t stand Trump!

I don't know if this makes any difference or not because with trump and the fools in the republican party running things it seems like we have no say on anything. I think it's absolutely despicable how he has cheated his way into the White House again. \nWe stand with you Canada. If the Democrats can kick him out of the White House we will.\nThere are a lot of people who do not want anything to do with what he's doing. Don't hang us all because of his evil ways.\nAs I said we stand with Canada, and Mexico. God be with us all! Amen

Well done Canada ??❤️??

Trudeau is the biggest crook, he is getting richer every day as the WEF puppet that he is and he hates Canada. This sob is increasing carbon tax on April 1st more and Canada is way too stupid to see through his lies.

A clown that is Trudeau . He took Canada to the lowest in terms of diplomacy .

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

Time to move to Canada

Fight back? So it's ok to have a one way open border with another country? They practice rampant restraint of trade. Canada has the population of California and think they flex on the US. Good luck with that.

I'm with Canada and mexiy

Anti americanism? Seriously? I'm a US citizen and it's blatantly clear that this is the work of DJT and the Republican party. This isn't on Canada. CNN, you are pathetic

As an American I support Canada's stance. They are standing up to a bully and we need more brave leaders to do the same.

Facts, truths, actual statistics that he didn’t just pull out of the air…can Mr. Trudeau come be our president? What a fantastic, bold speech!\nStanding by you, Canada!! ? ?? Thank you for standing up and saying NO!

We are so sorry, Canada?. We love you despite our asinine leader.

Go nuts Canada. Take all US products off your shelves. Fight back. From an American deeply EMBARRASED BY TRUMP.

Canada ? Europe

One more American supporting our friend CANADA. Hate Trump, not ordinary Americans he does not represent. ????

Germany here. Great speech, thank You so much! Germany stands with Canada ❤

A neurologist should thoroughly examine Trump's brain, as I strongly suspect the presence of significant anomalies. It is conceivable that some of these could be addressed through medical intervention. However, in his current state, his cognitive and behavioral responses appear untenable. It would be prudent to declare him temporarily unfit for decision-making until his condition improves. Wishing him a swift and full recovery!\n\nPeople of Canada, we in Germany hold you in high regard and stand with you. Stay strong—we will support you ❤

I find this speech has caused me to re-evaluate Justine Trudeau - he has become the statesman we always hoped he could be and he stated clearly Canada will retaliate for this incomprehensible attack on the greatest trading partner the US has.

I’ve never bought anything from Canada.

Cut a deal with Russia to buy their natural gas and other products to replace Canadian goods while ramping up domestic production. \nStop selling Canada military equipment, let them produce their own.\n\n\nCanada will implode in 2 years.

I voted for this and Canada is crying they don't have the tax payer teet anymore and guess what, now you can figure it out for yourselves.

Terrific are ok for Canada, but not for the US? So, one-sided. Time to step up.

I feel like this is happening cause the USA wants to take over Canada and own it

Elbows up Canada.. Americans don't want this. It is Trump and MAGA morons

Why Canada, Mexico, or any other country in the world doesn’t have the problem of drugs except United States of America. Why is that.? Think about it, we are the consumer and want to Party Up like there is no tomorrow. So Donald trump get your S.H.I.# in gear and clean up your mess first before you point fingers.

I was never a fan of Trudeau but I applaud him here. Canada was pushed to edge so they are pushing back.\n\n??

Honestly, I can totally understand the actions of Trump and JD in their last interview with Zelensky but these tariffs against Mexico and Canada is something I don't get it all! Trump should be getting as many allies as possible in such trouble times.

Wow! That was an incredible speech by Trudeau. Articulate, measured and moving. Go Canada!

No one in U.S respects Trudeau the same way most in Canada don’t. He’s just known as being an a horrible politician hear. I’ve never met one person Canadian who actually likes this guy

Love you, Canada. The US people are always your friends. This is beyond absurd.

Well Justin Trudeau what about the last 8years you penalized and persecuted your fellow countrymen and made them suffer high prices and the ability to live comfortably?it’s funny what you say president trump made your fellow citizens of Canada unite and stand up, something you liberals failed at.

I'm an American citizen here from Detroit. And I stand with you, Canada.

Love ya Canada. Concerned American.

Canada should keep PM Trudeau! He seems to know his shit!! He should be asked to remain. HE can handle Trump! What if your next PM bows down to Trump, then Canada is screwed! Trudeau should NOT be leaving! He's doing a great job!!
