As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

After a speech like this, he will need to do at least a 20 min Sorry and Thank you in the Oval office for Trump to forgive him.

Thank you Justin for this lesson in leadership from a fellow Canadian. I don't blame you for stepping down, who would want 4 more years working in these conditions, crazy making at best.

And this is how great Trumps America looks like…… right? MAGA? I am ashamed to be an American citizen, we stood for democracy, freedom, American dream and now what? Thank you 77 million, who voted for convicted felon, with 6 bankruptcies, who SA women. Bravo! ?

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the world. How will this end? Not well. Canada, most of us in the USA are so ashamed of Trump and his harm to others. Canada, thank you for not bowing to Trump.

I am an American beyond appalled and disgusted by my country’s leadership, or rather, lack of leadership. Nothing but respect and admiration for you Canada. Thank you for understanding that most Americans don’t support any of this whatsoever. We love you. Slava Ukraini

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

Thank you, Canada! As an American, I am appalled at the hellmouth this administration that I did not vote for has dragged my country into. Nothing I see suggests to me that the people we've entrusted with enforcing our laws and our constitution will come through for us against this coup that has broken with democracy and simple decency. So you do whatever you have to do to protect the interests of your own citizens, and I will have to hope that ultimately it will help topple these monsters who have taken this country hostage.

American here. We don’t want this either. Thank you for standing up against the tyranny which is our new government!

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

WOW!!! What a calm, measured response toward an incredibly ridiculous situation. This is what leadership looks like!!! Thank you Canada for standing up to this bully! We'll weather this shit storm together. Thank you for being our kind, thoughtful, compassionate, patient, AND polite neighbors + friends. We LOVE you!!!

?‍♀️ have room for 1 American seeking to move. UGH The professionalism of Canadian Government is amazing! Agree with Canadian President and thank you Sir for this warning.

As an American, I want to apologize to Canadians for this completely unnecessary crisis. tRump (aka Krasnov) is obviously working with Russia to dismantle the US. Thank you for standing up to this egregious violation of the Oath of Office and the trust of the American people (not that I ever trusted this traitorous mob). I applaud your actions!

Thank you thank you thank you very much Mr. Trudeau for giving us hope in this terrifing time, for standing up to bully, for letting those dictators know that our democratic world is not for sell.\nMerci du fond du cœur cher Premier Ministre Trudeau . Vielen vielen lieben Dank. Wir sind so stolz auf Sie lieber Herr Premierminister Trudeau und auf das tolle Volk Kanadas\n❤

This man is a dictator and he doesn’t represent Canadians. Canada has big problems and its legal drugs are killing people and being sold everywhere. Thank you, Trump for these tariffs.???

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Thank you sir....I'm ashamed to call myself an American believe me I never voted for this maniac! I do not agree with this government at all!

Never been so embarrassed to be American. Thank you for calmly speaking out, using intelligent words and phrasing, stating FACTS, speaking Truth and not spewing any form of hate!!!! Canadians have every right to beam with Pride after this speech!

Thank you so much for this clear words to Donald Dump.

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

Thank you! This is how a leader should speak and act!!! I am on your side Canada. I am so disgusted with our so called “leader” and government. I, along with many others, did not vote for this despicable idiot called Donald Trump.

Thank you, MAGA. This was your choice. Had more of you taken the time to think critically, educate yourselves, and rise above outdated, divisive ways of thinking, we could be in a better place. Some of you voted for him not because of his policies or because you lack sense, but simply for the spectacle-because you were bored and wanted to 'see what happens! Well, now we all have to live with the consequences.

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

What a dunce. Get this guy outta the discussion. He just wants to keep milking the US and Canada for his own status. Thank god clowns have a ceiling in politics. Screw you Treudue. You're the spawn of communist Fidel Castro from swinger parents who put your strings on at birth to make you a global puppet.

Canadian here and this comment section is bringing tears to my eyes! Thank you for your support!!! <3

Thank you for all that you do to be good allies. There are a lot of Americans that DO NOT want this Tariff war with your friends to the north or the south. We did not vote for the orange pumpkin and his unreasonable shenanigans. Love you Canada.

But no!!! It's all Biden fault. Well, now you'll know what real pain is. Thank you, trump supporters, for this.

THANK YOU for this SPEECH!!!

American student at a Canadian university: Thank you Canada, for speaking out. Many of us know this is wrong, and we do not blame you for the chaotic fall of the U.S. empire. I stand with Canada (and Mexico for that matter).

Thank you for your speech to us. As an American, I understand. I don’t want this either, BUT YOUR ACTIONS are very necessary. This clown must finally be dealt consequences for his actions

Canadian here. Thank you, people from all over the world, for your support. And thank you Americans, our neighbours, the ones who understand this... Madness... Thank you.

This is not America, this is a white house full of thieving greedy buffoons, how did this fool get back in office, thank Elon for all his help and for those of you that actually voted for this shit show

we will watch the US become a land of Hoovervilles- there will be a grand Depression and this is just what the architects of 2025 want. this is King Musk at work and his minions. Not all of us support this monstrosity in the White House and their dismantling of our democracy. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking TRUTH.

I'm American...I love Canada! I have many friends there ! Thank you for standing up for Canada and actually for standing up for innocent Americans like me who never voted for this monster we have now as a president! I'm 50 and I've never ever seen anyone like the administration we have now ! My parents and my grandparents would be ashamed of Donald Trump especially my grandfather who was a world War 2 vet who received a purple heart award ! Shame on you Donald

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Thank you Prime Minister for this !! I can’t believe that the Leader of the Free World has now become a puppet of Putin. So proud to be a Canadian. I will no longer buy products from the USA or visit as long as Trump is President

Thank you Prime Minister for full sentences, honesty and clarity. It's refreshing for this American.

77 million citizens of the USA VOLUNTARILY voted for chaos, incompetence, corruption, and the dismantling of their own democracy. Thank you to this massive army of morons that ate up populism. Good luck with your choice.

Thank you PM Trudeau. As an American who DID NOT vote for the orange man in a Satan suit, I support your actions towards the US. No one wins in this situation, and I am prepared for whatever is going to happen. Trump must be stopped!!!!

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

OMG, now Trump is going to send his lapdog Mr Vance to screem “Apologise to the president, You never say thank you, you disrespect this country USA, You never appreciate what we do for Canada”.

Thank you for this great speech

I’m so ashamed of our country. This is going to cause global economy collapse. This is going to hurt everyone, and country, and corporations. Trump knows what he’s doing. He’s working with Putin to cause this- global plutocracy. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Maybe now, it will sink in to people. We pay, not ??. They are force to put tariffs on their goods, who do you think pays? This is ?, peanut butter, Aluminum foil, etc. I suggest start stocking up. In about two weeks increased prices will hit the shelves.

we the American people don't want this either. it's only the Trump administration that is asking for this . thank you for your understanding Canada we the people stand with you as well.

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

IDGAD what anyone says, Im gonna miss this guy??, but I will wish him well? thank you JT for all you did for us Canadians?

Thank you for putting this out

Thank you General Clark.....but I am hopeful that this IS going to end well. We are going to get rid of Trump once and for all.
