Trump is the best !!!! I am so proud of United States .I still remember how Canadian Parliament gives WWII Nazi standing ovation and how many more of them were hiding there

Canadians have a real deep down patriotism. We don't scream our country's name at every event, wrap ourselves in our flag, etc. But we adore our country, it's the way best in this big complicated world. We don't feel we must say it all the time because we KNOW it.

I live in the best country in the world and I have the best Prime Minister in the world. I couldn’t be more proud of Justin Trudeau. We will fight and we will come together. That’s what Canadians do.

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Dear Canadians, what a wonderful Prime Minister you have! Believe in him, trust him, support him! It's the best speech I ever had been a witness! Daniel Graber from Switzerland

That's crazy that even though there is a divide the Canadian prime minister still wants the best for Canadians and Americans. Where trump doesn't care only about his gains

I feel bad for the Americans , they put him there to be their President as they are hoping to have a better life . I’m sure some who voted for him now have the regrets as they didn’t expect that to him . I love that Canadian President he has a good state of mind thinking what is best for his country . He wanted to end the war between Ukraine and Russia but he is starting his own war , ridiculous ?

Why is it US truckers can only deliver goods loaded in the US to Canada or Mexico? Why is it a driver can take goods loaded in Canada or Mexico and deliver them at multiple points throughout the United States? Why did American truckers support Canadian truckers when Peter Pan Trudeau was jailing Canadians for honking their horns? Why is it American has beens and generals turned media stars always know what's best for the whole damned world when they haven't lived as a ciilian for thirty or forty years? Why is it when there is no war dumb asses all over the world want to start one? Why didn't Europe listen when they were being warned forty years ago to strengthen their NATO members military? How many armed Russian tanks that squared off against American tanks in Berlin in 1961 were made and manufactured in Ukraine? Why is it it's always so hard for lefty socialists claiming to be democrats refuse to accept the change from their worldly liberal socialist big government ideals to a smaller more conservative governent posture around the world? Why do........................................

5:35 The best speech so far..We Canadians soooooooo polite.

from Italy... I wish italian people will find a man like mr Trudeau one day as prime minister... I wish the best to canadian people

Canada responding puts Canada in a worse position. \n Canada not helping in the fight against fentanyl is obviously false, that being said the mass Immigration policy of Justen trued has made it easy for cartels' to smuggle in narcotics, not only that but the immigrants cause waves of crime, rippling from generation to generation. which hurts Canadians quite a bit. Immigration from the US to Canada would not hurt Canadians as much as from all the third world countries that they currently have their immigration system setup to accept. \nCanada's official statistics for narcotics coming in cannot be trusted. there is the fact that when someone is caught with narcotics they don't actually get to bring in those drugs. \nCanada's border is also entirely bypassed by plane so it doesn't matter how strong they make their borders.\nthe best response to the tariffs would be to remove all those god awful restrictions put in place on Canadian enterprise.

Trudeau is the best example of woke human trash you should just throw to the garbage as soon as possible. Canadian people are fine, but this guy is a total MORON.

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

Canada is our friend, our best friend, he is absolutely right. i'm sorry that my country is insane, Canadians.

Pierre Poilievre for PRIME MINISTER KEEP CANADA ?? THE BEST COUNTRY WORLDWIDE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE CANADA AND PIERRE POILIEVRE WILL PROTECT ALL OF CANADIANS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well said PM Trudeau, stand proud Canadian the Commweath is right behind you Rember the Lane Canadia you bested those Mexicans (USA) once you can do it again.

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

Well, he gave a good speech to his Canadian about support from his country. I hope you can meet with his people needs. Unlike our president, the best he could say was we’re going feel some pain. What he really meant to say was the poor and the middle class are going to suffer..

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

The best diplomatic speech I've heard in my life.\nTogether we shall prevail.\nLet's buy Canadian products only starting today.

Best speech ever from our Prime Minister! From a proud Canadian

Our Honourable PM Trudeau understands the assignment - Proud to be Canadian! wishing the best outcome for all North Americans.

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

Best speech Trudeau has ever given. As Canadians we stand strong together ??❤️

This was the best speech Prime Minister Trudeau ever gave, hands-down. As a Canadian, I pray for President Trump to come to his senses. May Canadians and Americans stick to our long and enduring friendship and not let politicians divide us. ✊️

Canadian, YOU CAN DO It! UNITY and Love can make your COUNTRY the BEST for your COUNTRY !

Trudeau has gotten a lot of flak for what he put Canadians through in the past couple of years, but he's leaving office on a high note! This has got to be one of the best & most articulate speeches ever made by any head of state and that too in 2 different languages! Bravo ?

Not a fan of Trudeau but I got to admit it’s nice seeing him unleash. One of the best speech I’ve heard from a Canadian prime minister and he’s finally showing balls

I think any person Who makes efforts to find the Best for its country should be considered as a patriot. Defend a Nation ist not a easy issue but the Canadian are free to choose the Best. For them. Good look, God bless you all.

Canadians are reasonable and polite.? Nicest people on the face of earth. Americans are also great. West please don't divide. North America is the best place on the earth. West is the inspiration for everyone in the world. Please unite please.

Okay, so US tariffs are bad and will cause financial trouble for both Americans and Canadians. Won’t Canadian Tariffs do the same thing? Furthermore, Canada will not win a Tariff war with the US. Canada’s response is not rational, nor is it in the best interest of the country. What about working with Trump to understand what it takes to remove all tariffs.

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

Go after American retailers in Canada. Go after Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Best Buy. We also have a plethora of American restaurants in Canada, Justin should tax them all. Don't give Canada to that lunatic Trump for free, fight dollar for dollar Justin.\n\nWe also use alot of American drilling tools, equipment and machines in oil and gas. We go after all these companies and put pressure on them. Their silence is a support for Trump!!\n\nFrom now onwards, Canada should reduce her relanance on America to a mere 20% or lower. Issues like this should inspire Canadian politicians to go global and seek partners worldwide.

As a Canadian I hope Trump buries this tool. He is the reason it’s happening in the first place. Worst prime minister Canada has ever seen. Now he is doing what he does best, trying to capitalize on his victim status to regain popularity. Why are people this stupid?

Oh no Canadian blackface has something self important to say, everybody best a listen?

US citizen here! We don't want this either. Our elected official is a deranged maniac and most of our citizens are pissed off. We love our Canadian neighbors and don't want this ridiculous tariff war. As for US supporting Russia well that is not something anyone in their right minds would do. Only stupid, crazy MAGA fools. Please know, most of us are kind and want the best for all humans. I can only apologize for myself. DJT is on his own. NOT MY PRESIDENT!

As a Canadian, it's really nice to see all the comments in support of Canada. Canadians love Americans too. Best of luck to both countries.

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

One of the best speeches i have heard in a long time. So close to the heart of all Canadians.

this guy is a dictator and most Canadians hate him the very reason he was supposed to step down but refuses to have an election to replace him just like Ukraine. you pump Chinese goods across the borders allowing China to sell here with no tariffs. you allow China to pump fentanyl across the border as well just like Mexico has been doing. Im not feeling sorry for this dictator. people for freedom dont freeze the peoples bank accounts that protest them like you did. best for Canadians to replace this fool before he drags Canada under before he voluntarily steps down. good luck Canadian people in getting rid of this dictator.

Mr. Trudeau, As an American who has never voted for Trump, I apologize for the person we currently have in the White House, and wish Canada and Mexico the best. Do what you have to do, and hopefully it will cause enough disruption that Trump will have to retreat. Most of us consider Canadians and Mexicans our friends. A lot of people in the US are contacting our representatives in Congress, participating in economic boycotts, and joining groups like the ACLU that are bringing lawsuits against some of the actions that have already occurred. God bless Canada and Mexico!

Hey Canadians, bring your goods over... you can have the US-shelves.... AND... we are more customers ?. Best regards from Europe.

America is at war with Canada! Why would Trump do this? We're Canadians some of the best most relax people ever.

Can hardly wait until Canada bankrupts the USA. Cut all trade with a war mongering nation, Canadians stand strong and free, we will prevail against the likes of Trump, Vance and musk who was never elected to office. Ontario just canceled starlinks, we don’t buy American products, the best thing is to shut our borders to American citizens and trade period. Just wait and see USA what we do!

Canadian PM Justin is the best honest PM as a human being

I still can't believe that we are being attacked by our best ally. The country that is supposed to represent freedom. The US administration is behaving worse than Russia. The EU and North American allies have been abandoned and assaulted. The vacating of the leadership position in the free world will be taken advantage of by other countries. How much damage has to be done?\n\nTo the Canadian government: Open maximum trade to the EU and friendly countries in Asian the short fall must be attempted to be spanned.

American here, an actual conservative who never voted for Trump. Canada should immediately turn off the oil to stick it to Trump, and people everywhere should boycott Tesla permanently. The Canadian oil would do best going to Europe to help shut off imports from Russia.\n\nTrump is a traitor who acts like a Russian agent.

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!
