As an American I am humiliated and embarrassed. Donald Trump is an asshole, so is JD Vance and Elon Musk. I apologize to Canada.

I support the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

I 100% stand with Canada on this one. Do not show Donald any weakness Canada or he will take you for everything.

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

I personally think Trump is after Canada to become part of the US. So, he's making stuff up to make the countries leadership look stupid. He thinks his tariffs will cause great financial destruction in such a way that Canada will fall apart, and then he will swoop in and grab her up. His greedy nubby hands want what he doesn't have. I can't wait for these four years to pass.

Why they never talk about the rising amount of guns coming from the US in Canada. Guns that we don't want. According to Donald Duck we should protect the border for US for the fentanyl but is the US is going to protect the border of Canada against the illegal gun market that US is the source of.

Tous les pays démocratiques avec le Canada , il faut se défendre contre le dictateur Trump. Il faut se dire dans 4 ans il sera !!!

Watching in Hungary/Slovakia: Amazing speech - hope it's understandable also to many Americans. They need to understand it before they feel the impact of Trump's trade war w/ his frm allies. I'm so proud I got an opportunity to spend few months learning English in Canada - lovely country and lovely people w/ great leaders.

Canada, join the EU and leave Nafta (or whatever is called now). Mexico, join BRICS and leave Nafta (or whatever is called now. EU, suspend US membership from NATO and close European bases in the continent.

I am very proud of our PM Justin Trudeau ❤ CANADA

Trudeau never once mentioned how popular he is or how those before him were clueless or how disrespectful others are, he never mentioned that other countries have been taking Canada for a ride. This is the art of the deal.

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

Trump is leaving Canada open to be invaded by Putin once Ukraine has peace in its remaining territory! This is just more of Trump showing he is obliged to Russia!

Very strange what Trump is doing. 1. Sympathize with Putin. 2. Isolating Canada 3. Retrating USA troope from Europe...USA i think Trump want's to isolate you and make you go to war. Get him OUT !!!!

Ya better keep your prime minister Canada boys great

Michigan stands with you Canada ?? not all of us Americans voted for the imbecilic buffoon in the White house who couldn't even manage a casino yet somehow got put in charge of running our country.

Much love to Canada, from Houston TX ???

A better idea would be perhaps to do some introspection into why your country has relied on the USA for so long for trade and military protection. Isn't it time to work on measures to make Canada more self-reliant?

American here. My father fought and died to protect our freedoms which allowed the US to forge relationships with our allies and bring peace to people around the world.thank you PM Trudeau for showing many what a true leader looks like and how to protect your people, unlike our shameless and idiotic leader. I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all countries that demonstrate true democracy

As I understand it, the USA was not charging any tariffs to Canada before these were created. But Canada had tariffs to the USA. If that isn't true, then it can at least be said that Canada's tariffs were higher for the similar items than the USA tariffs. And now Canada is complaining? To hell with Canada.

Canada we stand with you ...from a Israeli South African...we love you

What is MAGA saying about Canada tariffs?\nMaking energy and aluminium more expensive?\nCompletely crazy.

The crazy MAGA cult followers at my job will say it's my company that's rising prices and it'll be their fault. This is how delusional my co workers are ? nooooooo it's trumps fault!!!! But they worship him. He can do anything and get away with it it's crazy to me. And we Americans have it good!!! I have no idea what these whites guys with big trucks and money in the bank are crying about!!! I make 19 an hour and have it good. How do these people not have it good who makes more than me?? They Blame Canada, Ukraine and the migrants for hardship?? What hardship?,!!!! And if they do have it rough it's their fault!!! Because if a guy like me has everything he needs and is happy how are these crazy maga people not happy who makes more then me?

This American stands with Canada!

Texan here I stand with Canada ❤

Preach Justin!! F the clown!\nKeep your American guns out of Canada & Mexico, how about that?!

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

Canadians do not like Trudeau, he’s increased his citizens inflation with Rules, regulations, communism at core. It’s about Returning Americans the robbed coffers of Taxpayers funds, Americans have United, others move to Canada.

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

It's sad that liberals think Trump isn't doing this because all these countries have been ripping us off. Do you think he's doing this for fun? Get yourselves off the corporate media. We are done being the world police and we are done getting ripped off by politicians that take money to look the other way when trade deals dont favor us at all. 30 trillion in debt. We cant continue to subsidize Europe and Canada.

It’s nice to see Trudeau talking like he has a pair. He spent the last 9 years destroying Canada so let’s not act like all our problems today are Trumps fault. Too little too late my friend. You should’ve woken up earlier but it took Trump for Canadian politicians to realize oh wait maybe we shouldn’t have all our eggs in one basket ? - from a Canadian

You are 21 days away from leaving Canada! Canadian hates you ???

I'm an American. I'm with you Canada. Keep up the good work. Trump and company have to go. I pray before they have done irreparable damage to my country and yours.

Can we become a province of Canada?

This American loves Canada !

Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.

I am Canadian and wonder how long will it be before Trump starts to invade Canada like Russia did to Ukraine

Canada get rid of this nut case

The only reason Trump set tariffs on Canada is because he would look like a racist if he only did it to Mexico. I have a feeling soon Trump will lift the tariffs on Canada citing that Canada has complied with his requests. He will keep the tariffs on Mexico though.

Trade fair Canada ??

Well spoken and very clear. Dump could learn a few thing's from Canada

I'm American, and I didn't vote for the orange head. I support Canada

Michigander here who stands with Canada and Ukraine. I’m terrified with what’s happening to my country and the people in it. ?

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

Ukraine stand with Canada !!!

I'm canadian here in Canada - most of us despise trudeau and are struggling to survive under his high tax regime. We want trudeau to sit down and shut up and stop robbing us Canadians of a living and of our election. We have wanted an election for months now. He has denied us that.

a 1.3 billion dollar waste of money for extra border security. We did this to appease the unappeasable. He never intended to stop the tariffs, he just wanted us to spend out money. He's trying to bankrupt Canada. STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY ON TRUMPS DESIGNS. Remember WE the public are paying for this, THEY (our governments/the Upper Class) are benefiting. As Trump crashes the markets, who do you think is buying it up, think about it.

From India: Canada & Trudeau is so amaizingly great

I wonder why King Charles has chosen to give Trump a State Visit when Trump has declared economic war on part of his 'commonwealth'? Trump should remember that King Charles is also de-facto head of the Canadian state - Trudeau is the King's 'Prime Minister'. As a Brit, I stand with Canada and will boycott American goods for the rest of my life - no forgiveness!

Canada ?? the new free world heroes
