Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

Ughhhhhh this sucks so much. We love you Canada!!

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??so proud of our leader ??????

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??

As an AMERICAN here, I want all of our neighbors to know we love you all but it is time we stop being the most visited, sold to, ridiculed, laughed at, and highest debt country in the world. What everyone forgets is that the us was the leading exporter in the world just a century ago. No one wants to destroy another country. Of course there’s other ways to handle this but even if there was a different way none AMERICANS would still be upset. It’s ok for us to get destroyed and everyone else to prosper

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

Beautiful he speaks two languages perfectly he should have told Trump where to go in French love Canada ?? ❤❤❤‼️? when we fight we win we will not lose to a dictator ‼️?? we are a proud country and we will protect our allies like we protected you in 9/11 . I was born in Quebec to a Canadian mother who spoke French and an English father proud of my heritage and my provinces ‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️??

I didn’t vote for the FELON or f ELON. Prime Minister Trudeau will you allow Michigan to succeed to Canada?? ??????\nAs a highly educated Michigander who has spent over 5 decades enjoying the beauty, kindness, culture and hospitality of Canadians visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario, Toronto and so many other beautiful places with my parents, siblings and now my children, I am heartbroken that it has come to this. Please know that Americans do not support this clown and his GOP lackeys. We love you and you will ALWAYS be our neighbors. Resist, we understand and support you even though it will cause pain. ??????

We love you Canada ❤

We love you Canada- you can’t imagine how embarrassing and infuriating it is to watch our US leadership around the world disappear into a pool of narcissism and congressional sycophants.

Living in Michigan , Canadian are our close neighbors and friends. This is a sad day that will hurt both Americans and Canadians. You fought beside us in every world war. Canadians supported us and died for us during the Iraq War. Recently, bringing in planes to help put out the wild fires in California. We love our Canadian neighbors ❤‍?❤

Canada we love you❤

Great speech Justin We love you God Bless

Preach it Justin! We love you....not the monkey in the WH.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

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.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

We as Americans don't need ur trade you need us more.. america frist . And that that. cannada lives In the shadow of are military and pay nothing for it \nI love america ?? america frist

Thank you Trump.. We love Canada!

Trump is being blackmailed by Putin with the pee pee tapes just look at the flight log dates and times when he returned to the United States and you’ll see the difference Trumps arrogance is more important than the American safety and security ??? go Canada I love you guys and stay strong my friends we will make it through this shit show ???

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.

Dear Canadian friends...I am a young widow raising six sons. I hate Trump, Vance, and Elon, plus many more MAGA freaks. I have always been so proud of our common boarder...the biggest in the world. I am shitting in my pants. We love you guys, please believe me. ❤❤

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

As a Canadian, we love everyone! Except bullies and people that create wars and attack innocent people. I have nothing against people from U.S or Russia. I disagree with there leaders however. I don't like our leader but when you start a fight I always was told to never back down. Trump doesn't want to work together. He wants to crush everyone and destroy. NUTS! Canada will fight a bully always. We are also the friendliest people in the world.. Just don't piss us off!

CNN is just another fake, corrupt, fraud, propaganda machine. FOX News is the best! We Love you Trump! GO MAGA!! ✊️ ??

Canadian way you Become 51 USA state we will love you more frome American ❤

We true American Citizens Love You Canada!

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

We love you Canada !! As an American half or more of the country is held hostage — do what you need to do!!!!!!

To any Americans reading this: We love you. We have fought and died along side you on the battlefield for many years. When pearl harbor happened, we declared war on Japan before even you did. When 911 happened, we allowed your planes to land in Canada. We fed you and housed you. During the LA fires, we sent firefighters and water bombers to assist. You have always been our closest ally, and vice versa. You have always been able to rely on us. \n\nThat stops today, thanks to your president. Make your voices heard if you disagree with what is happening in your country. His diplomacy and tariffs will hurt the both of us. A lot of Trumps rhetoric is nothing but bald faced. inaccurate BS. We hope you see the truth with your own eyes and work to fix the damage Trump will cause.

So now we can call them north koreamerica??? Because im done dealing with them. Canada i stand with you all my love from denmark.

Trump is not intelligent but a dumb a..! Love Canada ? We support you and stand firm…Respect from Oregon!

I love the people of Canada ??. I looked forward to spending my vacation there. Stay strong ?. Trump is a bully that needs to be impeached and jailed. He is a criminal, 34 count convicted criminal. We, the people, did not vote for shitty ass Trump. Maga voted for and stole votes to ensure that Trump won. We, the people of America, stand with you. We know that Canada has no choice but to strike back at Trump. He must be stopped now !

Impeach Trump! We love you Canada!

Thank you Canada for being Canada. We/US love you. Please continue to speak truth. I am ashamed of our government.

No you just want to keep screwing us on trade for decades so we will deal with it you f'ing tool. I hope you shut down the electric its only hurting the blue areas anyways that are like you that most of us hate like new york. Love it your going to have inflation go out of control will love when the people wakeup and see that a loaf of bread cost you a wheel barrel of cash. We want our money back and tired of us paying and supporting the world.

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

We love you Canada! American people are good people, we don't condone this ignorance!!!

Thank you all for standing with us im a proud albertin but to see you all come to stand with us hart touching we don't want this we thank you and love you for it we got this Canada let's show this world how strong we really are!

We love you, Trudeau ❤❤????.

We Love You Canada! ❤ You do what you have to do ! A lot of Americans are supporting you!

So much love and support for Canada from many of us Americans! We hope one day our friendship with you can recover from this nightmare. ?????

Now THAT is a real leader. I say this as an American: F Trusk! We love you, Canada. ??

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

AMERICA: One thing you guys may not grasp yet.... we may be nice, but we love a fight and when you come at some of us... you automatically come at ALL of us. To the MAGA people of america: F×#$ You. To the rest, we get its not your fault. ELBOWS UP!!!!! CANADA STRONG!!!!!!!!!! ?? ? ?? ?
