As a Indian, most of the people in the comment section blame trudeau, Jagmeet, ndp and liberals for this. But i think the dumb Canadians are fully responsible for all of these. From 2015 to reelecting the same shit government that created all this chaos.

Honestly the batshit crazy comment reflects the #1 concern most Canadians have with the United States. We have conservatives and religious types but they're all more or less respectful and they don't try to control Canadian society. In comparison, at least a fifth of Americans are borderline fascists, and none of us want anything to do with those types of people. Since Trump took office they've become a hundred times worse, as now they're even threatening annexation. Sorry if it's hard to accept, but America has a serious problem right now, even if you're a good person.

Dear Donald, Please go to hell. Your brain is extremely expired.\nThis comment is only for Ukranian and Canadian president lovers.

Seeing people actually fall for this guy’s B.S. you can begin to comprehend how the Egyptians worshiped an insect. In light of rabid anti Americanism in Canada, President Trump would be wise to fortify and close the border as a defensive measure against invasion, infiltration, and sabotage. Canada has made it clear they’d rather spend a lot more to ship oil to China’s Communist Dictator Xi Jin Ping in Asia and back than pay a modest 10% tariff and send oil down an already working pipeline to next door America. Contrary to some mega ignorant comments, The U.S.A. is rich in natural resources and can be self sufficient. We just have to resume use of resources that were shut down by the appropriately initialed Barak Obama, Biden-Harris, and deep state bureaucrats in Washington. President Trump can accomplish this with our support. Shop carefully and please do not buy anything from Canada. Leave all Canadian goods to rot on the shelf. You won’t regret not making it to the Miss Hockey Puck festival in balmy Churchill Manitoba either. Other protective measures should be immediate cancellation of all visas and green cards held by Canadians and their deportation from U.S. territory.

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

Born and raised Canadian here, thank you to all the kind comments ❤???

I’m a proud Canadian but after skimming through the comments, I just want to thank all the Americans and those around the world whom are supporting us ??

Not even the Canadians care what this clown says. They absolutely HATE him. Furthermore, Canada already taxes US goods at upwards of 350% in some cases. The time for taking advantage of America is over. EVERY American should be happy about that. The people in these comments supporting this tool are ignorant fools.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Thanks Pm Justin and his cabinet for the hard they did since the crazy man get elected. All Canadians are with you in this and we will prevail. The people in the comment, Thanks for supporting and standing with us. ❤??

As a Canadian, I hope that Americans in the comments finally understand why sports fans booed the anthem, it was never about Americans, we are protesting Trump and the ppl who support this warfare, the annexation threats.\nThank you for those who support us, it’s nice to read the comments from all over the world.

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

They looked scared as hell. Trudeau is like a vindictive fired employee who steals and damages stuff before leaving. People like him are why many companies have security escort them out when they leave. Canada is going to suffer just so this wimp can feel like he stood up to Trump. He isn't even in a position to negotiate anymore. He's just causing his country more pain for no reason. Typical socialist. Whole lot of people in the comments don't understand the numbers. Canada has zero chances to win a trade war. Many Canadian businesses are already moving to the US.

Canadian here. \n\nFact, I'm certainly not a Trump supporter. \n\nFact, Trudeau has almost destroyed Canada. \n\nTake from my comments what you will.

I’m not a Canadian, but I know how to stand up to a bully! \n\nJe ne suis pas canadien, mais je sais comment résister à un tyran!

Atleast comments are not turned off here...unlike cowardly, biased, unfair and state controlled media like CBC and other Canadian media houses. Trudeau is an idiot and canadian govt is a supporter of terrorism as a state policy and runs on narco terror money.

Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order By Ray Dalio. \nAlthough it may seem like Trump is hurting the economy at the time being. He is doing the US economy a long term favor. Nothing personal against our fellow Canadians. We love our allies. But the US needed a Leader like Trump after the Bummy Biden administration. God Bless EVERYONE reading this comment. We will all make it through this.

Heads Up! Elon Musk's mother was Canadian. Why does the president push for the 51st state? Goldwater ran against Johnson for president and because he was born in Arizona when it was a territory, eventually to become a state, The commentators said Goldwater could become president. So, if the USA were to make Canada the 51st state . . . Elon Musk could become president. Reality Check X.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

Nearly 73,000 comments in 8 hours, and so much support for Canada. As a Canadian, I am profoundly grateful, thank you all so much! We didn't want this, but we're in it with everything we've got.

So many bots commenting support for trudeau lol canadians do NOT support this idiot who put us in this situation.

Wolf, very nice words. Remember a good relationship between the 2 countries. Yor female comenteris tranlating a very objective message fro the canadian president , unfortunatinaly uou need to gind better commentator.

I can't help but notice the overwhelming support in the comments for the Canadian stance. Tragically many Canadians now consider the USA to be approaching enemy status.

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

These comments are definitely monitored for any negative comments towards Trudeau. Because all I hear are how much Canadians hate this POS.

Trudeau is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Many Canadians hate him. These comments must be monitored because I know of many Canadians that hate him. A lot of American traitors here. I am an American and I fully support President Trump and whatever he does. But I have no respect for this idiot.

Trudeau is on his way out. Has five days left in office. He is very unpopular on both sides in Canada due to the state of things in Canada that have nothing to do with Trump. Obviously Americans commenting here aren’t aware of that. \n\nThe last thing most Canadians want Trudeau to do is publicly agitate Trump and make things difficult for the next prime minister.

Oh cool, I can comment here. We aren't allowed to comment on Canadian news media because of our dictator Trudeau. Please send help.

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.

Canadian here, reading comments when I feel depressed.?

Now I don't want to dampen the positive comments being direct to us Canadians which we all appreciate. However, I don't want people to forget that this individual talks about making things affordable for their citizens. There is a reason he has resigned. Don't forget that our country unreasonably fights itself on sooooo many things that make items in Canada so much more expensive than they need to be. I was hopeful our own government would make living more afforable for all Canadians by putting a freeze on things such as the Carbon Tax....guess that wasn't in the cards!? Together I hope that intelligence and common decency prevails.

So pathetic. CBC our Canadian so called news has turned off any comments. Trudeau does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Our parliament is closed, he and his lackeys refuse to call an election. I would like to talk to my American friends. I apologize for this narcissistic lackey who has driven our country into the ground for the last 9 years.

These comments on youtube are funny. Trudeau is the reason why Canada is economically a shell of what it was 10 years ago. Everyday canadians understand his words and threats are empty. Hes a shell puppet who is so hated in canada that he had to shut down the canadian government 2 months ago. Thats right, in a demcracy this creepy fool has shut it down to milk a few more measly months of his power before he is forced to slink away. Worse, under his watch our borders have become fentanyl ridden jokes. Less than 10 percent of anything is even inspected at our ports of entry. Human and drug trafficing is out of control. I dont like tarriff wars, but this is all trudeaus fault - every criticism of the US gov is completely valid. Canada went from #3 at the G20 to last under this guy. 90 percent of the fentanyl going into the US comes through canada.. should i go on...

As a Canadian, I’m loving this comment section. It’s a reminder that there are still a lot of nice people in the world.

Listen to the idiots in this comment section, supporting the worst Canadian president in history. Trump is doing what America has always done, put America first. Canada is supporting Europe in pursuing the war in Ukraine, how is that a benefit to Americans.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

More Canadians will just move to America! I don’t know what’s more ridiculous; the amount of lies coming from his mouth or posts by brain washed CNN uneducated viewers. Or is it just an altered chain of comments… Not logical to have all ppl thinking the same. This is manipulation of truth.

Finally I can comment! Every Canadian channel has comments turned off because Trudeau is a hypocrite.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

As a Canadian, I am tired from liking all the comments... lol

All those comments praising justin’s speaking…..u do realize this is a former drama teacher doing a bad drama and reading a script someone else wrote? This guy systematically drowned the economy and pushed left wing ideology at the cost of everything. Trump is overreacting but Justin’s acting to get a image makeover here. Canadians dont like tariffs imposed but understand that Justin’s idiocracy is also to blame.

As a Canadian, reading Americans thoughts in these comments. It's touching, Thank you.

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

As a Canadian reading all the comments just wanted to say thanks to all around the world supporting canada

You can tell the majority of commenters are not Canadian lol
