As I am the 27,000th commenter, I know this won’t be read…but the REAL reason DJT is doing this is to knock us (Canada) down and weaken us so he can come in and take what he wants afterwards. He knows he can do this, just like he did a few days ago with Ukraine. You are not our neighbours; you are not our friends. You are the new world predator country.

Did you know that since the beginning of 2022, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordability in Canada. \n\n$10 billion could have built 30,000+ affordable housing units, reducing homelessness and rent prices. $5 billion could have expanded healthcare, hiring doctors and nurses to cut wait times. $2 billion could have Canada has committed approximately $19.7 billion in multifaceted support to Ukraine. Let that sink in.... $19,700,000,000 ?\n\nThis comprehensive assistance includes over $12.4 billion in direct financial aid, the highest per capita contribution among G7 nations, and $4.5 billion in military assistance, intended to be delivered through 2029.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has pledged a $5 billion contribution, with $2.5 billion disbursed recently and the remaining sum to follow soon.\n\nIf Canada had spent the $19.7 billion on domestic issues, it could have significantly improved\nsupported veterans and provided clean water to Indigenous communities, while $3 billion could have upgraded roads and public transit. Another $2 billion could have funded food programs and tax relief to combat rising living costs.\n\nRedirecting this money could have directly improved the lives of millions of Canadians, addressing urgent national crises instead of foreign aid for a fake war that the Ukraine can never win...

Trump is wrong about Ukraine your description of putin is a true!!!Americans mostly respect Canada as an ally, trump is after all NATO allies its obvious ploy for Ruzzia despot!!!

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.

Im uk, canadian cousins, best people on the planet. Widely regarded as just being the nicest country on the planet, from france and england, they have taken the best of both, determination and grit but always keeping things polite. The most reliable dependinal country ever. The us have had the luckiest neighbours on the planet. And no 1 of worlwide neighbours. For trump/elon to screw both ukraine and canada in the same week. Only person who could have wanted that more is putin.

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

From Uk, I support Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

Thank you prime minister Trudeau , I am so sorry this big orange turd and his administration are doing this to Canada, Ukraine , Europe and even our own citizens!!! I did not vote for that psycho I am so ashamed of my government ?

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

I am a American and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukrain

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!

Thank you Canada for supporting Ukraine, you have always been on our side, always. We appreciate it and understand what it is like to be betrayed by the United States of America. Ukraine stands with you, Canadians! Canada, be strong! ?????

Retired south Florida resident who voted against Trump and cohorts. I stand with Canada ??❤ and every country who is supporting Ukraine ?? and President Zelenskyy.

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

Right On! rump is trying to take the US into a Russian ally. I support Canada's position! I have never been so ashamed of our government than today! Between genocide in Israel to repeating Russian talking points about Ukraine, this is the worst result of electing this enemy of the people of the United States.

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

To all Canadians, all Europeans, just know there are tens of millions of Americans who do not agree with, nor do we support, the current occupants of the White House, and we never will. We Americans stand firmly with you, with Canada, with Mexico, with Denmark, and especially with Ukraine. Love and blessings to you all. God save American Democracy, and the United States of America, from the malignant growth known as the MAGA movement that has taken over the Republican Party.

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 isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

Another American who cares about our friends in Canada and Europe, esp Ukraine. These friendships are in America’s best interest!!

I stand with Canada, & Ukraine. I'm appalled with the course the U.S.A. is taking. I am a Virginian who is praying for the soul of my country.

Suport and love from Türkiye to Canada and Ukraine. ??????

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

As an individual Japanese, I cannot stand the current US president and vice president. I demand an impeachment trial. In order to protect America and the American people, these two people who do not call Russia a dictatorship, call Ukraine a dictatorship, and refuse to use Russia's frozen assets should be impeached. They say such things to China, but in reality they are lenient, and it is impossible that they treat Canada and Mexico worse than China. Please. American people, please do not accept dictatorship.

Canada and Ukraine has real presidents who love their country and their people -- America is stuck with a putin bootlicker who lies endlessly to the American people!

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

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

How Trudeau stands there with his head bombers lying to the world, he thinks we don't know about what he is trying to do to us, just go away and leave our country alone now he helps Ukraine destroy there country under the NWO right under there noses, everyone should beware of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney, he tries to make it look like Donad Trump is our enemy knowing it is him himself who plotted against Canada

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

No matter who pays the tariffs and who it hurts, the end result is that billions will be paid into the government coffers of both USA and Canada. Of course Trump & Musk want to use that to benefit billionaire oligarchs, but what will Canada do with the new income? Maybe much could go to Ukraine to compensate US disgusting withdrawal of support??

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

I am an American standing with Canada and Ukraine ❤

I am a veteran and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and Europe. Not all of us approve of the misguided direction of a stupid American government filled with perverts, drunkards, and misfits.

Don't forget Canada Black face treaud is going to send billions to Ukraine all while you'll still have to work 3 jobs to pay your rent. ?

Ukraine stand with Canada !!!

As an American, I want to add my voice to those of other Americans who stand in support of Canada, the EU and Ukraine. Our current occupant of the Oval Office is an embarrassment to those of us who are true patriots. Let the trolls say what they will to express their ignorance, for who in their right mind can support this turncoat.

This American sides with the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, & most of Europe & Asia (excluding Russia & the countries that support it) and ? disagrees w/ the U.S. administration's decision.

I‘m German and European, and stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico. This Trump administration is mentally sick. Psychopaths.

From UK?? standing with Canada Ukraine Palestine

I'm an American...I stand with Canada and Ukraine...The tariff is not about fentanyl... it's about Trump wanting Canada as a state.

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…

From Mississippi, standing with Canada and Ukraine

I am horrified by trump and his treatment of our good friend canada and his outrageous treatment of Ukraine

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

Europe economy destroy ? Canada already destroy only Quebec tax Canada survive now Quebec also destroy by tureadu joker.. Ukrainian comedian destroy Ukraine ?

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

From South Carolina, we love you Canada, Ukraine and Europe. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH on our behalf!❤❤❤
