Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. Unfortunately Donald Trump will destroy the US. Canada will grow stronger without US. It is regrettable that the current Trump administration is destroying the strong relationships between US with Mexico, Canada, Europe, UK, China, Middle East and Africa. Canada will always stand for democracy, freedom and justice even if this current administration refuses to do so. US and Canada has fought WWI, WWII, Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq war, Afghanistan war together. As brothers in arms both have fought, bleed together against fascism. What Donald is doing in the US is as close as it gets to fascism in America. During this difficult time in American history more than ever America needs to trust in God. God bless America land of the free home of the brave. Let's pray that God will intervene through prayer to bring America to depend on Him once more.

As an American, we are friends of Canada. I am sorry the tariffs will harm both sides. It is a dumb thing to do. We repect your need to defend your interests. Mr Trudeau well spoken.

Canada, decent Americans understand your decisions and we are very sorry that you were put in this position.Hopefully one day we can mend fences???

Plainly speaking, it was never about fentanyl. Trump is trying to bully everyone into submission. We saw it last week with Zelenskyy. Don’t back down Canada. True Americans stand with their allies.

I am an American and very proud of Canada. I jumped up and shouted when he said 25 back to you America????? You GoBoy!!!!!

As an American I stand with Canada.

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

I'm a American and to be honest I'm proud of Canada

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

As a proud American Veterran-I stand with Trudeau and Canada!

A American Marine Corp Veteran stands with you Canada. Stay strong. What Maga doesn't realize is there are many 3rd party voters who are going to start working on doing the things that need to be done to throw the road blocks because he has definitely started down the road road to dictatorship.

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people

As a true American, God bless Canada ?? I stand with YOU!!!

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

That is how a leader speaks!! He was succinct, armed with actual facts, eloquent and effective…all that and he didn’t need to sell a stupid hat or crypto coin. It’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. We stand with Canada!??

As an American I support Canada in standing up to the Bully in Chief.

We need a leader as intelligent and capable as Justin Trudeau. Canada, standing their ground may be our best chance to impeach the disgusting dictator in our country. Canada? Are you ready to accept any Democracy loving Americans who want to escape fascism? We would love to be Canadians!??

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

Americans stand with Canada. The majority are against this Dump regime. Canada and Mexico are our neighbors.

American here and Trudeau earned my respect for this. Standing with Canada on this but we Americans need to fight back too!

That part of this song “I’m proud to be an American” went cold. Half of us “Americans” voted for this. We were warned and informed on their plans because of our own insecurity on certain issues blinded us on the bigger picture. I stand with Canada and Mexico etc I’m ashamed and appalled but what’s happening something has to be done…. Getting played is an understatement…

As an American, I support Canada and Ukraine! I am fighting the good fight here against these idiots.

Sad state of affairs when the only advocate we Americans have comes from another country!\nI wish we had a government that cared about us like Canada cars about their own

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

Very impressed with President Trudeau. Articulate, honest. Stand strong together Canada. Americans are with you. Not with Donald \nTrump! Your Prime Minister is to be congratulated. \nThis is madness!!!!! \nBut we will right the ship!!\nDon’t give in to him!

That’s why Canada wins the war: they will look after the people that suffer, I imagine the Americans are expected to die on the streets ?

70 yr old American woman. Disgusted with these criminals in Washington . \nI support Canada ?? & Ukraine ?? \nTurn the power off Canada ??, turn it off

Well, I’m with you Canada, unfortunately many brain dead Americans voted this orange traitor into office for the next four years and now we’re stuck with him. ??‍♀️????

The fact the Canada is g9nna help their citizens thru this tariff war yet Trump is not doing anything close to helping American citizens, shows that Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone. Trump just opened a more profitable business route between Mexico and Canada.

Canada doing what Americans don't have the balls to do.

Please know, that just because most voters voted him in, that does NOT mean most Americans support him. Just those who got out to vote that day. We don’t want this. I support Canada, Ukraine and the rest of the European nations ??

I am an American and Canada I don’t want this either. But you need to do what needs to be done and I support that!! You go Canada! I did not vote for Trump, and I want Trump to fail, because if he doesn’t, I will lose my right to vote. Trump has never been held accountable for his actions! He needs to be arrested for treason and terrorism.

As an American I agree with Canada. Trump is out of his mind hope we impeach him Fast. Pray for us.

True Americans stand with you Canada ??.

Yes, do what you need to do. Many Americans (including myself) stand with Canada. ? Donald Trump is a fool and is incompetent.

Fucking with Canada is like a fart in the wind challenge to my President. Also if implementing tarrifs is so bad for American citizens, and we're the ones who are actually losing. Then why is Canada doing the same thing by imposing tariffs. Wouldn't they be screwing over their citizens then?

Tens of millions of Americans are 100% in support of Canada and 100% against Trump, Vance and their ugly MAGA crowd!!!\n\nGO CANADA!!!

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

An American here, standing for Ukraine and Canada. Our president is disgraceful.

We stand with Canada, a lot Americans are not idiots ??

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

As a 66 year old Canadian, never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine the USA as an enemy to Canada. I know it's not all Americans and my heart aches for them, but the relationship is permanently damaged beyond repair. Stay strong Canada....no more American products or spending our tourist dollars there.

Canada needs to kick out american companies. No more profit off our land.

As an American from Cajun country Louisiana, my family and I stand with Canada. We stand with Ukraine. We stand with Palestine. We stand for love, compassion, and freedom for human rights for all.

Thank you President Trudeau, for telling the truth about the Con-man, clownish, cruel, ignorant, criminal American President.\n\nTrump and his thugs are ruining and drowning America and risk take other countries down with them. Your righteous indignation is completely justified, noble, bold, and just.\n\nI can no longer live here; it feels like a strange, cruel country. It is being run by a madman and his minions. All cowards. All morally depraved, especially J.D. Vance. What complete hypocrisy. It is nauseating to the core.\n\nViva Canada!❤

I'm an American standing with Canada and Ukraine.

Great speech! As an American, I'm on Canada's side in this fight. The American tariffs should not have been implemented. Their purpose is to hurt both countries, to soften us up for Russian dominance.

I'm an American, and I support Canada in doing what they have to do to push back on trump/Republican insanity. I know as a senior on social security that I will be hurt by the push back. I will eat less and drive less, but I don't care -- Canada is doing the right thing.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires
