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.

American here. I am with Canada. A real leader! Thank you Trudeau. I voted No and will continue to protest the Trump administration.

Thank you Mr Trudeau ❤❤❤❤

After trump is done destroying the US and selling everything off to the highest bidder I hope Canadians consider absorbing Minnesota into your country. We love you here! Also, you don't have to lie about trump's intellegence. He's dumb as a stump. Thank you, Trudeau, for your leadership.

Trudeau is an example of someone who is willing to say the truth about this U.S. renegade executive office passing policies that hurt both Canadian and U.S. economy. \n Republicans who are spineless are not willing to do this. Thank you, Trudeau

Thank you PM Trudeau! Keeping it real!????

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

As an American, I stand with Canada.?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking today to us and for us.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. The majority of Americans did not sign up for this betrayal.

PM Trudeau: A special thank you for telling the truth. I am so saddened to find out what's happening to your and our countries. I am humiliated DONALD is such an egotistical idiotic unleader. So sorry for us all.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for your wise leadership.

Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for being decent PM Trudeau. Americans love Canadians too. Trust and believe it..

I so much respect you dear Trudeau. ❤️ Thank you.

Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

Thank you so much Mister Prime Minister Trudeau. I truly wish you can stay our Prime Minister! You’re a boss?

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

Excellent speech! Well done Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau for telling it like it is.

I'm glad Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister at this critical time. His poise, intelligence and strength are reassuring. Thank you.

So so sorry for us all. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I pray we will be allies very soon.

Dual citizen in Canada I could not be more ashamed at the US tantrum showing man Vs The real adult Trudeau in the room. \nWe thank you for your address today and telling Donny we are not standing on the playground and taking the mean actions anymore.
