Canada- Strong today-Stronger Tomorrow!! Never been prouder to be Canadian. Thank you PM Trudeau!!!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau.

Trudeau speaks truth in such an eloquent and coherent manner that what he says is indisputable. Thank you Canada, and sorry for the #$&! Where's our Trudeau?

Trudeau is a good leader. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

THANK YOU, PM Justin Trudeau, for addressing the American people. I am weeping about the despicable damage the current administration has done to the strong relations we have shared!

Thank you, Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, for acknowledging us, the American people. May God bless us all. ? ?

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

Proud Canadian here .. thank-you for such a wonderful speech Prime Minister Trudeau. To the world: thank-you for your messages of support. To the Americans: we've received supportive messages from so many of you as well, thank-you.

My Trudeau is a well respected World Leader. Thank you for standing up!!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s impossible to deal with narcissistic psychopaths. I must emigrate out off this fascist oligarchy. Whatever republicons are taking has dissolved their SPINES and turned their single brain cells into spam.

What a speech!❤❤❤\nSo proud of our handsome, intelligent Mr. Trudeau!\nThank everyone who supports Canada, thank you for all comments!\nDear American neighbours we love you, but we love and stand united for our beloved Canada??????

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for always working very hard for our country.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

Canadian pls send Trudeau for a break could be temporary or forever, he is probably tired of boring with his job...put him on vacation direct to gaza-ukraine war zone. Thank you dearest Canadian?✌️

Oh no, Trudeau forgot to say “thank you” !!

Trudeau is handling this like a BOSS. Thank you sir!

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau!\nWe Love Canada!\nWe are So Sorry that the criminal in the White House has brought us to this moment with our neighbors!\nMerci Beaucoup Prime Minister! \nOur hearts are broken!\n???

As a Canadian, thank you all for your support. Honestly, it's not Trudeau or any other Canadian who can do something. It's you, the Americans. Put pressure on Trump

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.

Thank you, PM Trudeau!

Well, I was feeling really great about all the support from around the world, including the kind words of many Americans (thank you), but then I watched this same speech on the Fox youtube channel and the comments are exactly the opposite. Hating the speech and Trudeau. Funny how people can watch the same thing and see two different versions.

Thank you thank you Prime Minister Trudeau!!

Thank you for honesty and eloquency PM Trudeau. While your tariff will hurt us, I understand this criminal residing in the peoples house is causing this response. Please know many Americans are disgusted with the convict, and the ignorant, kool aid drinking ass-holes that voted for him.. and yes that includes those evangelicals that claim to love God...

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau!! \nYou are definitely OUR FRIEND!!!

I speak as a Californian. I am so, so terribly sorry, Canada. I never voted for tRump, ever. I hate him in every way. This is all so heartbreaking. ?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing up for your entire country. Our president is destroying America and handing us over to Russia. ? I stand with Canafa, Ukraine, Mexico and democracies of the world.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Awesome! There were NO making faces, bullying, yelling, or temper tantrums. NO pointing fingers around the room, NO lip or mouth contortions, NO squinting or snake eyes at people. This is someone in control and a secure, mature, intelligent leader. PM Trudeau did us all proud. THANK YOU. MERC!

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You are the best! You should remain the PM of Canada to save it! Trump is said to be an asset of Russia. His actions prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there is credence to the accusations. Actions speak louder than words, they say!

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

Damn good speech by Trudeau! Thank you

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. Some of us know what happened here by electing T-rump and saw this coming. Do as you must. We have a bully ignorant in the White House. Some day we'll recover our relationship. Godspeed upon you.

Thank you, Trudeau. Not that I value your opinion but it seems to have made a lot of sad liberals feel a bit better. Reciprocal tariffs… shouldn’t be a controversial subject

Thank you sooooo much ❤ I am American BROKEN ? FOR AMERICA THANK YOU AGAIN MR TRUDEAU GOD BLESS YOU.

I'm proud of you Prime Minister Trudeau! Stand your ground! Thank you for representing us so well in this moment. \n\nDoes it make sense to be at war with your peaceful neighbors? Canadians can trade with the rest of the world.

Brilliant statesman! Thank you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

Now he is a true LEADER who speaks the truth!! Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for exposing Trump for who he and the Republican Party are - greedy traitors!

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.

Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for this wonderfully done speech full of facts and common sense! It's too bad that our own president is not even 1/10th as capable as you.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. As a U.S. citizen, I am embarrassed and sickened by what the government of the U.S. is doing to my country. It's despicable.

Now that's a leader. Thank you, Trudeau for standing strong and speaking truth in the face of USA doing nothing but Russia's bidding. I am so ashamed of my county for allowing this to take over.

Thank you prime minister Trudeau for making all Canadian proud . This is what we call a great leadership !

8:06 AST yes, Mr Trudeau, we don’t like this either. Thank you for speaking on behalf of the American people. You speak the truth. We are under seize by an authoritarian government. God bless you and Canada.

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You speak truth to power... How in the hell did America go so LOW... I didn't vote for the American Dictator!!!

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You make me very proud to be a Canadian! True North Strong and Free! ❤??\nAs well, thank you Americans and people around the world for supporting Canada. Bless you all!

Agree with everything- thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤️??\nOne thing - Can we please call the appointed Fentanyl person anything else? “Tzar” has an awfully Russian connotation.

As an American I am so ashamed of the actions happening.....what a fool in our WH. Thank you Trudeau for your words. Our markets are a mess and will get worse.
