Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

This was Trump‘s idea not the people of United States. We love you, Canada.

I'm so sorry Canada, from a sincere American. God bless you guys.

Thank you Governor of Canada

HEY TRUDEAU, WE DON'T NEED CANADA !!!!! YOU NEED US !!!

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

American here. I stand with Canada and every country that stands up to our bullying, corrupt, soulless, despicable president. ??

Well done CANADA. You have spoken clearly, letting the American people know, that it is the TRUMP GOVERNMENT that is causing the TRADE WAR. Trudeau spoke like a FREIND & ALLI who will not accept anything to do with a TRUMP/PUTIN deal. This is how to deal with a BULLY & A PERSON WHO IS UNTRUSTWORTHY like PRESIDENT TRUMP.

So, you spent all this money, and at the end, the result is 25% US tariffs ??. This simply shows how a lapdog Canada is.

I stand with Canada Mexico UK and Europe. Please don’t hate all of us because of the idiots that are running and elected that idiot. I do not stand with Trump and Russia

Canada is our friendly neighbor, Trump should work with them rather than punish them with tariff. I am pro Trump but no, not this.

European Union here, Czech Republic. We stay with us Canada, we stay with you! And let's bypass Trump's America with Mexico and the whole South America as our allies too. BTW the Arab league can be our friends too and many countries in Africa and Asia, South Africa and Australia as well. Let us not be dominated anymore, let us finally freely cooperate!

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine not the way our government has chosen to act on the world stage!?

Canada just salty USA beat em in hockey

Please Canada, hate Donald and those who supported him but remember not all of us support him. I hope you punish America enough that we buckle under your pressure.

I'm proud of Canada I'm ashamed of the United States

I am indonesian living in the US. I am with you Canada ❤

I am ashamed to be an American now. I was from 2016-2020 as well. The insanity of XX45 is 100x worse now, along with the unhinged Elon musk. We are in dire straits. Real Americans LOVE YOU Canada! ???

American here (as embarrassing as it is to admit), I stand with Canada 100%!!! I did not vote for this disgrace of a human! Blessings and Love to all Canadians. ???

There is only 1 problem of this what happened right now.. This evil trum done.. To Ukraine Canada and Europe and US... Trump is poppet of devil putin ????

Canada? … Canada tho???

From the UK. So impressed. Well done Canada!

Well done Canada from the UK ????

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

If tariffs are dumb why does Canada have them

Great speech, as a dutch person i stand with canada. ????

Am moving to Canada ?? ??????‼️

Thank you Trudeau and Canada!\nWe can't defeat this madman internally, so yes, please keep executing external discipline & control until these crazy trump supporters feel it & understand it & change!\n\nAmerica deserves this tough love lesson from our brother, Canada!

As an American, who didnt vote for Trump, I am proud of Canada standing up. We did this to ourselves.

Canada just gave us a talking too.

God bless Canada. As an American, I am ashamed.

Trudeau sucks! Canada sucks! They're like a pesticide to America that has fed of us!!

1% of fentanyl is CAUGHT at the Canada border… Canada DOESNT inspect shipping containers from China

We find no fault in you Canada. We have a commie in the W.H.

FACT IS that Canada turned this into a trade war!!! I say this as a Canadian. It didn't have to be this way. Canada died 10 years ago. Annex away Mr. Trump.

As a 72 year old American veteran that doesn’t want to bare the pain of a trade war…\nBut I stand with Canada.\nDon’t back down from tRump!\nSAVA CANADA❣️

Go get in the ring with him Trump, and see what happens. Trudeau is not afraid of Bullies, unlike the sycophants in your party. Don't kiss his ring, Canada. Je me souviens.

We stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe! Not russia

Trudeau is awesome...just wish those conservatives wouldn't of turned against him...Trudeau is for Canada

Time to move to Thailand world class nature, food, and healthcare ALL affordable! Canada and USA will soon be 3rd world from this needless destruction of our economies…

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

We simply don’t need anything Canada has.

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

To my mind, Trump would have started the trade war with Canada no matter what measures Canada undertakes. My guess is the underlying motive behind the whole theatre is to somehow pressurize Canada into complete submission. Remember his comments about Canada should become the 51st state? I presume that in reality his eyes are set on Canada‘s vast resources and the potential north-west passage which would be a fantastic gift to his master Putin.

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

I can’t in good faith say I side with Canada as a lifelong red blooded American. HOWEVER, I will say I envy Canadians having such a logical clearly spoken leader.

Watch out Canada, there's going to be a lot of US citizens looking to move north. The real best country on earth.

Give Canada what they want! They may seem nice but a darkness lurks underneath!
