Keep standing up Canada true untited states citizens support you. Do what you need to do to fight back against this bully felon.

Canada I’m sooo ashamed of our diabolical leaders. Fight us however you must ?? ??

Literally crying when he said us fighting is what the people around the world want to see ????

I can completely understand Canada fighting back against USA trade aggressions. Brit standing with you Canada ??

What I see... the world is upsidedown. President Zelenskiy fights with Russia for Ukraine, Mr. Trudeau fights to protect Canadians from the USA. What countries will dare to attack neighbors next? China? North Korea? ?

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

Americans, why are you trying to fight everyone?

Canadian Prime Minister is a Real mature man that speaks eloquently and is intelligent and is correct and fair !!\n Beautiful speech , thank you Prime Minister, we as Middle class Americans are fighting for our survival and are scared that Trump is listening to billionaires instead of the People!!❤️???

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! An outstanding speech and yes, we as Canadians will STAND UP and FIGHT for our beautiful Country!

The ONLY rational for picking a fight with your closest neighbors and allies is that Putin has instructed him to. Donald needs to be impeached and deported!

It’s a sad day when the Canadian PM has to fight for the American People

Go earn your keep and fight this battle are your own expense JT. Crook came into office with 8 mil ended with 80 mil illegal insider trading off his own marijuana legalization scheme. Ruined the canadian economy for a decade probably more. Dont you dare speak for me.

I thought most Canadians didn't like him.\nHe is just using this to gain his popularity.\nBut I am sorry, it is too late.\nIf you fight with US, you gonna lose, 100%.\nLet's see how it goes and see who is tougher.\nStop the ILLEGALS not just pretend you are doing it.

Instead of doing globalist bullshit....you should have diversified long ago with trade with india/china/ russia rather than picking fights

Now that is a true leader, well spoken and intelligent. Keep up the fight and stay strong Canada!! Elbows up!!!

The US are initiating fights with allies instead of standing up to our enemies. Your preseident is only looking out for himself and his legacy, not the US citizens. Basic economic theory teaches you that anything that prevents free trade leads to a poorer outcome for society. What he is doing right now is not going to make the lives of US citizens bette - quite the contrary

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

It’s what happens when you give a greedy narcissistic person, the reins to a country, with no oversight, or controls! Heads-up Canada keep up the fight you have Allies across the pond, they will buy your goods, and we down here in America will suffer, until someone takes the reins!

Sock boy couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag and I am Canadian

And still, Mexico and Europe have to join the fight against Trump. Forget about tariffs, boycotts will hurt even more.

10:40 whether or not Trudeau is in office is not going to change anything. There's about a hundred other people that you could pick a fight with instead of Canada. \n\n\nYou'd probably be in everyone's interest if you just took responsibility for your own fiscal mismanagement. We are not your de facto piggy bank.

I dont want to fight with Canads...Canada is family..our brother from another mother!!...we , both US and Canada, cant have this!!

Please know that most Americans don't want this made up fight with our wonderful up north friends and neighbors.

In Europe, we feel exactly the same. This administration's loyalties lie along their confiscated party lines, and they are not for the American people despite their domestic narrative.\nThey are really the enemy from within for the US. Siding with US enemies, disrespecting Americans who don't share their views, allies and even poor Zelensky who's an actual patriot.\nIf they think they can fight the entire world and win, or that the world will bow to their attitude and demands on things that are not their concerns, they're dumber than we knew they are.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American who does not support this American president, we are doing everything we can to fight our own president and his destructive policies. He is a criminal and a liar, and is unsupportable. I'm sorry so many of our people voted for this fraud of an administration. He plans to gut the US and steal as much money as possible before doing I know not what else. We are sick with worry and concern for ourselves. We hope we can sort this out before it destroys us entirely. Americans supporting this megalomaniac are fools.\n\nMr. Trudeau, thank you for your words.

I am Canadian and we will fight back dollar for dollar.????????✊?

Poor United Soviets of America. They lost their Freedom, and torched Democracy. Will be sad seeing them fight for eggs and they pull out their stocks and run the banks and start hording toilet paper. USA cannot be trusted and will never be trusted again. RIP puppet of Russia. Just stay on your side of the border.

Sock boy couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag and I am Canadian

Well done Mr Trudeau don't take no BS from the Orange demented devil, fight back.??

Trump is slowly going to destabilise the USA deliberately in order to bring on a civil war & uprising so that he can involve the military to help him control the country by force. Mark my words that's his grand plan at home, he wants total control. Don't let him win if this happens. He wants an authetarian state similar to Russia, him & Musk, vance. Then he will try and take Greenland or even Canada, he will try to wind his supporters up into a frenzied in some way or form to basically pick a fight. With a military style rule over the USA he will then start to invade his neighbours or any other mineral rich nation. This is the worst possibility God bless it never materialises.

I think Trudeau is the only one fighting. Trump standing on business

“Thank you kindly, but I’m sorry. We won’t back down from a fight”.\n\nNeeds to be this trade war slogan.

Will you all stop watching what Trump is doing!!!! And start seeing the things he's doing behind your backs!!! He is giving billions in contracts to Musks companies and firing anyone who doesn't agree with them. They will never leave the Whitehouse, or if they do they will be taking billions if not trillions of American dollars with them most probably to Russia who will then rage war on America when your on the bones of your backside and no economy to fight. Your all looking in the wrong places, someone like Trump or Elon or Putin never let you see what's in their left hand when showing you their right, wake up America and impeach him now or you will have no country left ???❤

Thank You Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. \nThis is what true leadership is…\nWe ??ALL stand together with you?? in this fight.?

Couldn't be more proud to be Canadian. I just hope our next P.M. has the stones to keep the fight going.

From Germany - we know how it started with crazy dictator … so lets stand together to fight TRUMP

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

IT'S PUTIN THAT'S RUNNING USA,,,IT'S ALL ABOUT RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA &???????????AMERICA... ENEMIES WITHIN....WAIT WHEN THE CLOWN trump SENDS OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT ALONG SIDE WITH RUSSIA IN UKRAINE.....DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY DISMANTLE INTO PIECES....ALL FOR PUTIN...WHAT ELSE THAT MORON PROMISES PUTIN TO DESTROY AMERICA?....USA IS 1732 ???????

I don’t think this is anti-Americanism. This is fighting on your side of a trade war. I believe Canadians, including Trudeau, are otherwise working very well together with Americans.

Hi Justin it might be political fight and they putting economy on hostage, why not call for early elections and there is maybe changes on US side no? \nPlease Justin we loved you but if you resigned and call elections maybe we still have good hope

We know that our president is a frigging idiot, but the fact he *noticeably* drops his language grade level when “talking directly to” Trump and says “we’ve done *big things*” twice and calls him a “very smart guy” and pulls it into a schoolyard metaphor of “two friends fighting.”\n\nI couldn’t wrap my head around how we got saddled with this joke of a human in 2016. \nCouldn’t fathom how it was close in 2020.\nWant to vomit every day that we allowed this deep, unchecked harm to befall us, our allies, and the entire world. \n\nI keep wanting to just wake up.\nI feel so insane that we seem to have literally no power to stop this, and that the *entirety* of the GOP is completely fine with this. They have the power, but truly with small margins. But they’re just … all complicit in this.\n\nAnd even NOW, when it’s clearly going to fuck the economy and markets in ways that hurt actual corporations (who truly run it all now, from all sides of the political aisle except what seems like 5 social Dems/independents federally), even THE MONEY isn’t talking.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

Stand tall and do not bend the knee. The northern states should do more to fight Trump. This will hurt them. Remember Bellingham when the Canadian dollar was $1.50. Bellingham shut down and jobs were lost.

He fights Trump harder than every dem not named AOC and Bernie

This is what happen when you don’t go to war with a Canadian by your side fighting the same fight. You betray them. ???

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, we'll fight this together ??????????\nCanada, strong and free!! ❤

Russia should take it's old soviet satellite countries. China can have Taiwan. America unites the contenent. Canada and Mexico become the new US territories. This is the new world order to come. You can't fight the future. Resistance is futile.

I used to think that the idea that Trump is a Russian asset was just a conspiracy theory. I am not sure of that now as how else to you explain why Trump is doing everything he can to undermine the USA? Why else would you cause a breech between the US and our allies Canada and Mexico? Why else would he destroy the infrastructure of our country through Musk and Doge? Why else would you stop all aid to Ukraine? Why would you stop cyber operations targeting Russia? Why would he set up an operation to humiliate the leader of an allied country fighting for its life against Russian aggression? Why would you send your vice president to Germany and have him insult our allies and not meet with the leadership of the country but rather meet with the essentially neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany? None of this--and many other actions--makes sense unless you begin to understand that Trump is actively trying to weaken our country to the benefit of the Russians. I know it is hard to believe but I can find no other explanation.

Trudeau is a weak poor leader. Why fight when we can work together to bring down these tariffs. This is why Canada is struggling.

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????
