PM Trudeau is a real Leader! Stay strong Canada! All the best for you and your great and awesome Nation!

Wow! Sweden here. I stand by Canada. This is how a true leader speaks. What Trump is doing is irrational and he still don’t seem to understand how tariffs works. He’s hurting his own people with yet another effort to break down all alliances around the world. He threatens Europe, Palestine, Greenland, Mexico and many more. He cuts funding for Ukraine and aline with Russia. He managed in a month to crash so many lives in his own country and do not keep promises from his campaigns. How can one man destroy so much….

Should Canada also be blamed for the rampant homelessness and mental health issues in Amerika?

Aussie here. We are so sickened watching what’s going on in the US. It’s terrifying how fast Trump has turned against his allies. Canada, we Aussies love you and support you! Thank you for standing strong. To our American friends, keep fighting, keep protesting!

Now this is what an intelligent president look and sound like. Mr. Trudeau may I please be granted residency in Canada until this mess is over? Please and thank you.

Guaranteed there is more drugs, guns and illegal migrants crossing the US/Canada border going northwards into Canada, than going southwards into USA.

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Idiot calling Putin a murderer....you really want to be a Russian enemy ?\nYou failed Canada, and you are immature to take care of a county.

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

We don’t want it either! We all admire Canada—thank YOU for standing up to that bloated orange sad excuse of a “president” we have.

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Ukraine, Europe, Mexico , Canada and the lists of enemies now rising .... Hmmn, Americans the Bible is now playing out. \n\nThe Scarlet (Red) Party would soon sink you if you don't wake up.\n\nTariff war is a pretext, DT wants Canada and Mexico.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

So Canada is allowed to secure their border and be proud of that but when trump does it these same people come out and call on him not to be racist and care for his neighbour? Everything this man says is a lie

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

Farewell Canada! The future is with BRICS+ and BRI Peace & Prosperity for All ?

CANADA has tariff United States for decades. Only when we do it back to them do they write. Sit down governor.

Well done Canada I'm sure Americans are very ashamed of our disgusting President. Please forgive this evil man and know we are on your side. Our best to your people.

Canada saved over 400 Americans from the Irans regime .. 34 planes laned during 911 in Newfoundland.. fought in Iraq together .. Donald is a weak man desperately pretending to be strong, a small-minded person acting as if he's important. He's devoid of morals but pretends to be righteous. He's the aggressor always playing the victim. Deep down, he’s just a coward.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Trump wants to weaken all the countries which are against the russian invasion of Ukraine. Enough said, the guy is a traitor. Stay strong Canada ✊??????

China...okay...sure i get it, Mexico, hmmm....., Canada...WTF are we doing!? o.O

Good job Canada!

I understand Canada's diplomacy, BUT Donald is NOT smart.

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

Love his speech, but tbh facts don't bother a Trump.. idiots are not open to arguments and facts its just about feelings\n\nNgl, if the US don't want Canadas resources, here in Europe we would like to buy it ?

His answer against Trump’s tariffs is directly harming Canada citizens more so than Americans. \n\nThis tick isn’t on a moral high ground. I WISH this motherfucker would keep escalating this with a president that’ll gladly turn Canada into a fuckin theme park.

Thank you sir. Lots of family in Canada so this is horrible to me. Inexcusably cruel to all involved the way the US govt is crushing our country and friendly with relationships with other nations

Canada and all its people I'm truly sorry we have such a moron felon ? as prez

Thank you Canada!! Fuck Trump!!

I can see a few Americans here happy that Canada will be a 51 state. This is not a way to approach a friend to take over his house. There were other ways to do it long before and I assure you there were, maybe, doable but force is not one of them. You seed hate you get hate. What a mess.

A great speech from a great leader of a great country - Love from Germany - I stand with Canada and Ukraine

BAN TRUMP FROM CANADA AND THE G7! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!

Totally Goose-bumps. This is a war against US, starting now. On all fronts. Canada, Europe and the rest of the free world is now at war with US.

I stand with Canada

Hell, Canada doesn't even need to place a tariff on Teslas....no self-respecting Canadian or really no self-respecting human wants a Swastikar, even the new model SS, at any price.

I remember worse relationships between the US and Canada. Did the Canadians conquer Washington at that time?

Mexico supports our Canada brothers and sisters

May God bless the wonderful country, the people and the government of Canada! Congratulations from Germany !

Ìm American.\n\nI support Canada

I’m not with Canada, I stand with my Country ??????

We don't want this either, but a few dense people voted this foolish wannabe dictator as president so unfortunately we all have to suffer for their stupidity. Trust if I had the financial funds, I'd pack my bags and move to good ol' Canada.

#SecedeCalifornia before it's too late! \nAlly with Canada, Mexico, and the U.N

I am shocked by all the praising comments from American on this site. As Canadians we are ashamed of this dumbass who is most disgraceful dumbass leader Canada has seen. He has destroyed Canada. People are lining up at food banks. We are very poor. Joining the U.S.A is our only way out.

Canada is a genuinely good people country. They are polite, modest and generous. We support Canada.

trudeau is the most corrupted PM in Canadian History. He is solely responsible for destroying Canada. A Marxist dictator. President Trump is the greatest leader in the free world. Unmatched

Respect to Canada from the UK stay strong ?

As a businessman, Trump was using Fentanyl crisis as a lame excuse. No matter how much fentanyl is controlled across borders he was still guaranteed in imposing the 25% trade tariff. \nCanada govt invested so much into the border security recently and visited multiple times in Washington to discuss this 25% trade tariff but all of them forgot that Trump is a very aggressive and stubborn when it comes to money!\n\nI am glad Trump has made Canada and even Trudeau bold and self dependent now!

Trade war with Canada??? Lol

He's a bully who just wants another state, stay strong, Canada I stand with ? so do many Americans !!
