I’m an citizen of the world and I stand with Canada ❣

Go Canada ??❤️

JUSTIN TRUDEAU is a great leader for CANADA if.. USA..had him as a leader it would make USA a great place...love canada

As a georgia black, white, mexican, german, french, italian, Tennessee, texas, Californian, Pennsylvania, florida, electrician, drummer i dont stand with canada or ukraine. Blah blah blah.

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

Go Canada!!! USA, we are so screwed. God Bless Ukraine

I stand with Canada. Our so-called President is a Fascist and extremely mentally ill. We denounce Trump's Regime and how he is destroying our relationships with our allies. I applaud Trudeau and Canada!!!???

Canada is the best. I am not in agreement with USA administration I'm stuck under it down here

VIVA LA CANADA! Not ALL Americans are in support of Sweet Potato Hitler.

I hope that Canada and the EU is going to work closely together in the future. You cannot trust the USA with such people in charge! Even CHINA is more reliable right now, let THAT sink in!

Great speech . Canada not bowing down to a dictator elect . Shocking to try and collapse a neighbour , friend and ally’s economy . ?? European ?? countries are on your side .

Illinois stands with Canada

VIVE LE CANADA ?? We will never be your 51st State. We know this will hurt but we are tough, we are united and we will NOT back down.

Justin sucks!! No correct facts are false talk. He looks scared about Canada's future economy in Trump's 4year administration. Helps in breeding wanted criminals to security teams like border police,etc. Kash and Tulsi will handle him well.

Im not buying any more american as far as it’s possible. I stand with Canada against Trumps ProRussia America. Greetings from Norway.

So, will Canada start grabbing its lad on the street and send them in the meatgrinder like Zelya does, or is this just another guy ready to accept other peoples' sacrifices?

I support Canada! F*** us up Canada! Teach us a lesson. I will willingly suffer to save our democracy!

TRUMP #1 USA #1 THEY NEED US MORE LMAO TRUMP!!!!!!!! #1 USA #1!!!!!!!! ALL THIS B.S. THEY HAVE LEGAL CRACK AND HERION AND METH LMAO CANADA IS COOKED...

Screw Canada. Get ready for an invasion. NORAD is gonna be dismantled later this week and then US planes will begin a campaign to take out critical infrastructure

Canada has HUGE amounts of oil, lumber, rare minerals, potash (fertilizer)...WE WILL SELL THEM TO COUNTRIES WHO VALUE CANADA AS A GOOD AND LOYAL TRADING PARTNER.

I stand with Canada

We Canadians are suckers if we're giving billions more to Ukraine. Trudeau needs to go now. As for the tariff, I think we need to strike back hard, and continue the boycott of US goods. If we could, would be great do cut off all energy going to the States, but thanks to Trudeau, we don't have cross country pipelines to do that. BTW, Canada is not responsible for what comes into your country, we're responsible to keep things out we don't want in. That's the way these things are supposed to work, we're not East Berlin.

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

New York here, standing with Canada.

Go Canada, we're with you!!!

Some american people stand with you. The rest of those people are MAGA. Now we ALL pay. Canada please remember we are NOT all MAGA and support you. As far as I am concerned you need not explain it again. Those that listen have heard you. WE heard Kamala and Tim. The rest have their heads so far up their arse they can't hear!

Canada prime minister? I’m sorry I’m slow, is Canada a kingdom?

The Western Canadian people stand with Trump! We are ready for a referendum and we are ready to make Canada an Autonomous 51st state of the USA! To Republic ????? God Bless!

Why oh why don't the American's see what ever Canada, Mexico or Europe does will make no difference. Trump and his henchmen want's to destroy western alliances.

As a resident of Michigan I support Canada 100 Percent. Trump is a Traitor!!! Punish all of US to wake up the 49 percent of Americans who voted for the Orange Traitor and his Vice President Muskmellon!!!!

He is out and has no power. It clearly doesn’t matter what he has to say for the US or Canada. His own people kicked him out.

shut off the gas. \nshut off the electricity.\nkick out any american military forces from canada. \nclose the border.

Good luck to the real Americans standing against tyranny and the billionaire nazi mafia, Canada stands with you, but we have to get away from the insanity. good bye from your northern neighbours.

Arizona here. Standing strong with Canada.

American here....way to go Canada...I hate that we will have to suffer but keep standing up to this orange bully

wow, Canada your lucky to have a actual leader.

Thank you Canada, don't back down, go after trump

Canada should join the EU.

As an American I am sorry Canada. I did not want this ?

He is great leader ?\nI stand with Canada ?? \nStay strong ? with love from Czech

Wow, an intelligent, thought out speech that you can understand. No name-calling, no hyperbole, no making it about himself. It's like Canada has a grown-up for a president.

As an American I stand with Canada!

Stay strong Canada. Regarding democracy and freedom, we are united. A hug from Europe.

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

The Prime Minister of Canada of Justin Trudeau Trudeau is a true leader that Trump should pattern INSTEAD of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. \nAs an American in the USA, I stand by Canada and Mexico and will support you both $$$ and travel to your beloved countries!!!

Canada slam harder no one has monopoly of tariffs.…quite sad cos the people will be impacted

From Europe: Bravo Canada, great leader !

We support Canada ❤❤❤

Europe Stand with Canada ?????????

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)
