Europe is with you, Canada! The free world needs to band together against tyrants. We will survive by facing evil together, hand in hand (no homo), head-on. I'm proud of you Canadians! Keep it up!

Support for Canada from Australia - Boycott US Made good and isolate the US from World Trade.

Rest of the world supports Canada.\nFight the nazis in the white house.

I wish the USA had an adult to lead it like Canada and not a bully who acts like a spoiled child that needs a time out. Trump just go golfing every minute of every day for the next three years and leave the American people to live with the world.

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….

This is all just a pretense for Trump (Not the US) to invade Canada, with the blessing of China and Russia. Make no mistake, this is an axis of evil trying to establish a new world order. This is just the beginning of the coming storm. Good luck to the free world; we’re going to need it.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

Yes, Canada is the greatest country in the world worth to fight for❤

THANK YOU!!! Thank You for doing what few have done. What few countries, what few leaders, especially our own leaders have had the BACK BONE to do. The world respects you. AMERICANS respect you!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I pray that you won't back down like other weak men and countries have. Thank You Canada, Americans love you. ?

Trudeau is a liberal jerk that has resigned as prime minister of Canada. He has lost all respect of Canadians. And who is paying attention CNN. THE WORST NEWS ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

I think the world of good and democratic people should join together against this tyrannical autocratic and completely lying government of the USA find other trade and manufacturing partners- mineral rights of Ukraine to Canada and Europe…. This mr. trump is ruining our lives - and of course - I did not vote for him….

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

F yeah. We need leaders like this, here in the US. Where are our elected Dems? Maybe moving to Canada, out of this shithole 3rd world terrorist state, would be a good idea.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

What Donald trump wants is to put Mexico and canada to go bankrupt so he can invade both countries to still their minerals and still the two countries this pig is more dangerous than anyone can imagine that’s why he’s working with putin so both can corrupt the world .. if the USA doesn’t do anything soon there is going to be a catastrophe and if there is a war i want all the trump supporters to be infront of the line fighting this war

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

As I look at all the wonderful comments from Americans supporting Canada the tears are streaming down my face. Thank you! What I worry about is what is Trump up to?. \nWhy the decoupling from allies, not just Canada. Worse, why support Russia at the UN? Why take down your cyber defences? Is this a dictator digging himself in? Is he using Kim Jung Un's playbook? Americans, please be very careful with this man. The free world loves you but we need you to be free.

Stand by Canada \nTrump is the enemy of the Western World.\nTrump is Putin’s puppet

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!

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

The world is with Canada, thank you to allies uniting across the globe to combat the facist orange potato to the south!

As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

Canadians, in both World Wars, were the hardest most courageous bastards in those conflicts. USA will be wise not to underestimate Canada's resolve.

Respect Canada! From Sweden \n\nUSA are traitor's No more respect from The Western world go hide in asian dictatorships

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

Not sure why its surprising that Canadians are united against this trade war. We dont put up with this ? ?! The absolute gall of America to blame fentanyl on Canada, when it has been killing Canadians since 2016. Lets not even touch on the illegal guns imported in from the US. They certainly arent hopping on a plane from Mexico. Just wait for whats coming, as Our Allies are watching us and we are aligned with the world on our side ???

From Texas to you ❤️❤️ we do not stand behind Trump. A lot of us did not vote or care for Trump. Gosh I just got my passport, we were planning to visit Canada ❤️❤️ and I don’t blame you for hating us. ?Stand strong Canada most Americans stand with you. I truly believe Trump is doing all this to strengthen his greediest he doing this to line his money pockets with middle Americans Musk will help him become one of the richest men in the world and he will get there on the backs of middle class hard working Americans. He isn’t trying to help Americans he is helping himself and all his rich buddy’s I refer to them all as roaches.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

As an American, I stand with Canada 100%. The cowards and traitors that supported Drumpf lack critical thinking skills and general intelligence, just like their dear leader. They are a brainwashed cult. Even when Drumpf smacks them in the face, they want more. The largest cult movement in the world. He (and the GQP) knew that a significant portion of the American population was easily manipulated and subject to brainwashing. So, they took full advantage of that.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

But hold on a minute, Donald Trump is pointing the finger at president Zelenskiy of Ukraine saying that he would cause World War three let everyone just take a step back and look at the mess that Donald Trump is causing in the US is behaving like a mafia boss employing and bringing in all the criminals of the millionaire world from the bottom of the barrel They want to play with Canada. They want to try and take over the Panama Canal, and take Greenland doesn’t this not sound like something that Putin is carrying out right now how do you rain in in this modern day? a president, of the free world who is psychotic deranged and suicidal.

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

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.

God bless Canada. Dont let these apes from USA win. The world stays together against this cleptocrat Trump

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

The Marxist dictator, Justin Black-face Trudeau is threatened by Trump and panicking because the people of Canada see right through his lies and would rather have a country govern the way President Trump does it and give the power back to the people instead of having it run by the world, economic forum

Why Canada, Mexico, or any other country in the world doesn’t have the problem of drugs except United States of America. Why is that.? Think about it, we are the consumer and want to Party Up like there is no tomorrow. So Donald trump get your S.H.I.# in gear and clean up your mess first before you point fingers.

This is absolutely heartbreaking ? This Ohioan stands with Canada and the rest of the free world

As an American I support Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Europe, china, Mexico the USA and the whole world. Oops that doesn’t fit any narrative, oh well.

As a Texan, a veteran, Son of the American Revolution, I support our friends, neighbors, and allies in Canada. I detest the horrible behavior our government has unleashed not just on Canada, but the entire world.

Time to take Canada over sorry time to enter a new world Make America Great again

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

As an American military veteran from just south of the Canadian border here in Washington state, I support both Canada and Ukraine on the world stage. Thank you PM Trudeau for being the adult in this exchange. Best of luck to all of us, times are going to get very tough.

Thank you Canada for being the first nation to stand up to this tyrant now maybe other nations will join in and show this tyrant of a president that even if we don't totally agree on each other's policies we as a world still need each other for a successful survival !!!

Before everyone loses their mind over the grandstanding on either side… They should take some time to research the import/export world. If Trudeau thought he had the upper hand in this, he would have dropped the hammer. He doesn’t. The US economy will find a workaround before the 21 days are up, and Canada will have even less of a leg to stand on.

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

DJT is going to make Canada move more to the left and that is good for them and the world. You go Canada!!

Good luck Canada, It feels like Trump is trying to unite the world against him

I stand with Canada, love from England. America has never been so alone, you voted in a traitor to democracy, and you have sold out your national pride to the USSR. \nThe new North Korea of the western world.

Canada has been treating the United States like their personal ATM for way too long. You bring nothing to the table, but you have the audacity to ask for everything. It’s sad how most people don’t understand politics and just rely on media to tell them how to think and feel Russia is not a threat to no one but they have been constantly attack attacked by everyone especially the United States. You guys talk war but you’re not ready for World War III. No one can ever be ready for that
