Australia stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. America will become another isolated country run by a despot that serves Russia, no better than North Korea, and the American people will suffer the same poverty North Korea and Russia suffer because only the rich elites benefit under fascist dictatorships.

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

Why is Canada talking? Go ahead and send your 1,200 soldiers.

Guys don't trust this clown Trudeau, he himself is a big dictator style person . He allowed all criminals , terrorists, drug cartels to grow exponentially in beautiful country Canada by just turning blind eye . All Americans asked is to stop those criminals but this clown is not willing to . \nCanada needs immediate elections

Don’t care now mining ban has been lifted oil drilling will occur we can have our own who built those ports on the Great Lakes who built Panama Canal who would ever attack Canada no one why is that is it because they have so many aircraft carriers or maybe an armed population no they took their citizens guns away ?

Go Canada ??!! Love and support from Ireland ?? xx

This is insane were at war with Canada thanks to ALL The STUPID MAGA People Who Were Hell Bend Over in Hatred of Other Persons that have a Different color than you. Instead using common sense and do some actual research on these Clowns in the white house and checked out other media outlets that doesn't cater to your false egos and pride and false information from these habitual liars and fact xheck who is the truth teller and who is the liars and it all comes to Trump and his Criminal Clowns he has placed in Office

How about potash? We Canada supplies 80% of the USAs potash.

As a US citizen I thank you Canada for protecting your own country and not letting the felon and his brainwashed cult following threaten you.

German here, love and support for Canada! Stay strong, my friends!

The world is with Canada! ?

Dont believe this well written soeech. This clown says one thing then does another, he’s full of shit…..he’s purposely trying to sink Canada…..he’s ? WEF

The tariffs are reciprocal. If they want lower tariffs with the US they need to lower their tariffs. Screw Canada

What Tr*mp is doing is so infuriating and nonsensical. This will cause such needless hardship for Canadians and Americans alike. Canada is our neighbor and long-time ally, why do this? It makes me sick how stupid and evil the Tr*mp administration and his supporters are.

Fertilizer? We don't need your shyt Canada. We have plenty of our own.

Many of us understand and appreciate Canada’s position. The orange buffoon and his minions are not smart, they are selfish, greedy and hateful. They are working to complete their project using the destruction of this country as payment. Many of us are helplessly watching this country crash and burn. Tariffs are gonna cost us dearly! MAGA congratulations this is what you voted for!

God Bless Trudeau! for speaking truth to a brainless, bloated wind bag, hell bent on destroying what is left of democracy. \nYes, true Americans that have not been labotomized by t-rump, will respect and value our true friends in Canada.

Now thats a President! As an American I stand with Canada!!!

Dual US Canadian citizen writing in with mixed feelings…. Pride in Canada and dismay and horror at what’s happening in the US. My heart is breaking over what tRump has done to all of us. ????

Canada, Americas loss, Europe’s gain. What a great partnership we will forge with the Canadians. ?????

before today, Canada had long imposed tariff on USA list:\nMilk: 270%\nCheese: 245%\nButter: 298%\nChicken: 238%\nSausages: 69.9%\nBarley seed: 57.8%\nBovine/meat: 26.5%\nCars: 25%\nHVAC: 45%\nVacuums: 35%\nCable boxes: 35%\nTVs: 45%\nSteel: 25%\nAluminum: 45%\nCopper: 48%

Well done, Canada!!!

? I feel so much sadness for humans today. Sending love from Canada to everyone around the world.❤ Trump should be in jail, locked up and never let out.

Sure! Here’s a version that sticks closer to yo\n\nWhen Canada imposed reciprocal tariffs on the U.S., who do you think felt the bigger hit? The U.S. has a much stronger economy, so it could absorb the impact better than Canada. Same thing with Russia—almost every major country hit them with sanctions, yet their economy is growing at an estimated 4%, faster than most. This just shows that economic strength and resilience matter more than just who imposes tariffs or sanctions.

Funny how a lot of Canadians complained about Trudeau, the wokeness etc. Albeit reasonably so, Practically praising Trump, until these idiotic tariffs. Now we have Canada united and in a fighting patriotic mood against Trump. UK probably gonna go the same way thanks to Vance. A lesson in hubris.

I stand with canada f maga

Trumps small, petty ego battles are very costly to the average American and to lives around the world. Trump does not care. He is incapable of empathy. His ego battle and extortion racket with Zelenskyy is costing lives. Trump doesn't care. A hundred thousand extra lives were lost during Covid in America because of Trumps, ignorance, lies and disinformation. Trump didn't care. Lives were lost in Haiti because of Trumps hurricane response incompetence. Trump could have cared less. Trump sold out the Kurds in Syria. Thousands of lives were lost. Trump didn't care. He's a sick man and American voted him in. Now we have to live with it. Here in America, there is going to be a step too far. For half of America, Trump is way passed that. Dictators only respond to strength. Thank you Canada for making a strong and firm stand.

CANADA ?? WILL BE OK BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL Orange face is not doing the right thing

Wait... Remember how this Canadian PM abused the rights of truckers through an authoritarian device... This man is a loser... Saying that men can compete in women's sports. Canada is a liberal globalist war mongering country.

Great speech!!! Europeans are with you, Canada!!! ??

The tariffs are just the first step, Trump wants Canada to become a 51 country

Canada needs make the USA hurt, cut off the energy!

All I want to hear from Canada is how you are going to stop illegal drugs from coming into our country ?About time we get back to American made ??

It's unbelievable once upon a time. Muhammad Gaddafi used to be called mad Dog, but it seems to be a very old mad. Dog is causing poisonous ideas, bitting more than he can chew , and trump politics serve his big egos for the next 4 years, and he never stood up for peace ,he's a big bully, I hope the rest of the world can work together to show trump Canada, Europe and the rest of the world can thrive without America. Well said, priminister Trudo.

Standing with Canada! - From Oregon ❤

Stand with Canada ❤

Why is everyone tiptoeing around the real reason for these tariffs? Trump has made no secret of his true motivations. He wants to absorb Canada into the USA so he can exploit it's abundant natural resourses, redirect fresh water across the border and give their military free reign of the arctic regions of the country. Any and all other justifications and excuses he comes up with are little more than window dressings

Canada ??

Canada. I don't even know what to say. I grew up 2 hours south of the border. The world sees that Canada has kept their word the whole time. I'm so sorry for you and for us. This is so dumb.

I am proud to hear our Prime Minister adress politely the American public.Speak to President Trump and reassure us as Canadians the we must respond with Tariffs that benefit Canada !

Who started that war?\n\nHere is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n- Dairy Products:\n- Milk: 270%\n- Cheese: 245%\n- Butter: 298%\n- Poultry: 238%\n- Eggs: 163%\n- Barley: 160%\n- Wheat: 94%\n- Sugar: 265%\n- Peanut Butter: 295%

WHY IS HE STILL MAKING DECSIONS...........?????????????????\n\nALL OF CANADA, INCLUDING HIS OWN PARTY VOTED HIM AS INCOMPETENT

Trudeau can't promise to subsidize the Canadian factories that will shut down and the jobs that will forever be lost if Canada shuts down deliveries... HE WON'T BE IN POWER... The fact that Trudeau insinuated that President Trump is taking Putins side in the Ukraine war is insulting insulting insulting !!! President Trump wants PEACE...HE WANTS TO STOP THE DYING.. President Trump has a peaceful solution.. NO MORE BLOODSHED AND DEAD BODIES.

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

From Texas, I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Pull the camera back and look at the big picture. The US has been divided sharply down the middle of the political spectrum. Canada has been crumbling under stupid political and economic decisions. This trade war is uniting the common people both American and Canadian and supportive allies around the world. Corruption has bubbled to the surface and many things that conspiracy theorists have been mocked for is now commonly known as truth. The people will unite while the Oligarchs mutter “let them eat cake” and there will be a reckoning. Donald might be making stupid choices, but perhaps that is what we needed to finally wake up and unite.

very good speech from Trudeau, including a middle finger to Trump.\n\nCanada keep up, stay strong, seek other partners. As a european I'd love to work together with Canada.

Excellent speech by my Prime minister. I am a proud Canadian. We will stand strong together. God bless Canada.

The only jobs at risk are Canadian ones. A direct result of incompetent boobs on both sides of the borders. He knows Canada is screwed and the times of ripping America off are over. He wouldn’t be making a speech basically begging us with this speech otherwise.

Canada should work with China. Pls work with me
