From New Zealand Aotearoa, stay strong Canada, you are in the right and there are many countries around the world that support you

I'm English, I don't know that Canada has any enemies around the world to be honest. The US is trying to control any neighbouring land and building a wall around itself in exactly the way Russia did. Look how quickly Trump has made all these changed. He aligns himself with Dictators and attacks his friends. Trump is literally alienating the worlds allies. There is no longer a leader of the free world. Watch this space.

Well we know what happened last time this happened! Canada traded with Australia, Uk and all the Commonwealth countries around the world which only benefited those countries. America was the first to bend and scrapped the tariffs in the end! However in the meantime let’s do a deal Canada ???

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.

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

I’m a proud Canadian but after skimming through the comments, I just want to thank all the Americans and those around the world whom are supporting us ??

Well folks if you ever wondered how Trump managed to bankrupt so many of his own companies he’s showing us all right now exactly how he managed to and he’s going to bankrupt the US both financially and with our allies as he has become a laughing stock around the world. The man and his Musk are unhinged! ?

US has lost its respect all around the world. Once countries start to move away from the US, other nations like China will take advantage

Pestilence Trump and Shady Vance are DETERMINED to create a world where America is hated as much around the world as the Russian and Chinese governments. The Blight House is now full to the top of the cesspool with Putin Quislings. Good one, 'Mericuh!

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

This is all making me so sick. I really appreciate Trudeau addressing Americans. I just hope Canadians and other good around the world remember that many people here do not want this. I'm afraid many of us may need help soon.

As a Canadian, I would like to thank every people from the USA against this madness from the Pumpkin Clown, Vancy the puppy, Lutnick the Dwarf and their circus crew. Thanks also to everyone else around the world also against this madness. As for the stupid ones supporting Trump... who cares about you? You're all low IQs and vain anyways. *LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS CIRCUS!*

I am Canadian Citizen, but 100% support Trump for what he is doing for his country. Every country should be independent whatever their core values. I hate making a group of countries to blackmail other countries like EU, BRICS, NATO are doing around the world. Of course, we can make group of countries to fight with poverty, climate, making people life better, but what NATO and EU are doing just pathetic.

This is exactly how ALL leaders around the world should be acting & treating Chump-Trump. DJT only understands power, $$, & force; he’s not bright enough nor stable enough to sustain good, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships w/other free, peaceful, reasonable countries such as Canada. \n\nJust one thing Trudeau should add to his comments to Donny:\n“U claim to be a player, but I fucked Ur wife!”\n… bc we all think he did. ?

As a South African. Wow what a speech. Americans have not voted well. America is so important to the world, such that we feel around the world that we should also have a vote for american president ??

Thank you to our American friends who stand with us and everyone around the world. I’m so proud to be Canadian.

If any American is shocked by this and believe that this deterioration of relations happened over night… allow me to remind you that not just Canada, but the entire world has prepared for this starting in Tr**p’s first term when he first started breaking ties with allies and sat in bed with your enemies. That is why the world is backing Canada so quickly and aggressively - we saw this coming and we decided back then that we needed to prepare for a world without the USA… and here we are! For any Americans who believe your ‘leader’ that this is the age when the world will respect the USA again, it is precisely the opposite… and if you don’t want to believe that, well, wishing you all the best. The world has never ever had as little respect for the USA as today… and Putin is just laughing his ass off because he has your ‘leader’ wrapped around his finger.

Trudeau has had his up and downs in Canadian politics over the years, with the ever present divide between Conservatives and Liberals here in Canada, but one thing is for sure, he's a true statesman, who speaks with wisdom from the heart, and for that is respected around the world. Trump would be smart to take notes from Trudeau, a man with considerably more skill, etiquette and experience in the field of political leadership, both hear at home, and on the world stage.

There’s a majority of Americans who are right there with you Canada. Sorry our president has single-handedly undermined the war in Ukraine, created civil insurgency, tarnished relationships with its closest allies, and created divide that can be heard around the world.

Please Canada PLEASE KNOW we are NOT being represented by by that orange, drunk party clown with many known and unknown mental problems. \nthe PEOPLE does NOT side with him and we are TRAPPED HERE on all sides. What can we do to get another country/countries to step in and HELP US!!!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!\nWe are watching the world around us burn and we. Need. HELP! \n \n? PLEASE PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! ?

As a Canadian I am very proud of the way our Prime Minister handled himself. Reading all the kind words from Americans and citizens around the world it gives me hope that there is still good in this world. Thank you ??

Donald will break his own arm trying to twist Justin’s arm. Canada is no Ukraine. Trump has bitten more than he can chew. Good luck Americans. Your Administrations both the current and one in the past are your worst enemies. Both the Democracy’s and the Republicans have let you down. Wake up, the world does not revolve around you.

Supposedly has resigned but keeps up flying around the world talking Big, leaving the situation to Canadians when he conveniently leaves

Countries around the world believe they will be better served by appealing to the American people rather than appealing to Trump.

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

Orange man is literally destroying your country the worst history has ever seen. The world is watching and feeling second hand shame for you, you have become a laughing stock and are turning into a country that your allies around the world will soon want nothing to do with. And all the dumb Americans(there's lots of smart ones) are completely brainwashed to north korean levels by orange man. not looking good America

Why is this idiot talking on behalf of Canadians? He has his own Gov’t prorogued while the world is falling apart, our Countries Gov’t is closed. Supposedly, Trudeau supposed to be resigning, can’t wait for some emergency measures act for him to be able to stick around until 2026.

This is a small voice from Asia. I would say that the world is watching this event interestingly. U.S. policy can turn around 180° with just one person. You can do this to your friend, your ally. Can anyone trust you anymore?

Trump said Zelensky was trying to push ww3 and he wasnt wrong. Zalensky is using his donars as attack dogs to make threats. Think about that! The President who is putting his countries best interests first agaisnt the tyrants that have been dictating all of our lives around the world. The problem isn't Trump and Musk, its all the globalists that want to suffocate the planet. The only thing it will take to make you wake up to the delusions, is if you lose all the creature comforts you relish, the status quo has changed and none of you can handle it.

If only we had more calm, articulate and measured leaders like this around the world? I know I would sleep better and not wake nervously wondering what new level of crazy is in evidence from the USA to spoil my day in Australia.

As a Taiwanese, I condemn Canada for whining like a baby. We have already received enough benefits from the United States in the past. Now, the whole world must unite around Taiwan and the United States to counter the growing threat from China.

Most of the world have had enough of Tramp, there is a lot of people around the world who will refuse to purchase American goods from now on and the diplomatic fallout will last for a couple of terms. Tramp will probably move to put tariffs on goods from the EU and their retaliatory tariffs will result in a 25% increase in the price of everyday products that the American public purchase. If tariffs are imposed on the EU that will mean at least 70% of American goods will have tariffs on them. Tramps next book will be, how to crash an economy within two months of taking office, so much for the art of the deal! This is a really pointless interneine trade war and the collaborator in chief getting cosy with Russia is another example of Tramps deranged priorities.

There is nothing wrong with the Canadian government doing so. Everyone who understand the betrayal and evil intrigue of trump's treachery those who sympathizes\nwith Canada from around the world should be really commended for their fairness. ??????

Look americans who voted trump america will be great for loosing friends and allied around the world the only friend with you is putin.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY THE HATED MAN IN CANADA EVEN HE NEED 10 BODYGUARDS TO MOVE AROUND FOR HIS DAILY LIFE AS PM OF CANADA WOULD CANADA CITIZENS THAT DEPENDING ON AMERICA FOOD TO SAVE MONEY AND STAY ALIVE NOW TARIFFS ON AMERICA GOODS HOW HAPPY CANADA PEOPLE BE WITH HOA HAS MORE POWER THAN HIS OWN CITIZENS.POOR CANADA CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE CHEAP FOOD TO SURVIVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU EVIL DICTATORSHIP.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR CANADA AND HIS CITIZENS EVEN HIS EXISTENCE ON THE WORLD LIKE A BULB SWITCH HE THERE AND THE NEXT HE GONE FOR YEARS NOTHING FAMOUS GOOD HE DONE RECORDED BY INTERNATIONAL REPORTERS 0%.\nCANADA HAS ITS OWN HOMELESS PEOPLE WILD ON CANADA STREET BUT INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

This isn't the 1800s... the world CAN and WILL trade around us. We will be North Korea. Of my family suffers so will MAGAs that voted for this administration. No quarter.

Well, I was feeling really great about all the support from around the world, including the kind words of many Americans (thank you), but then I watched this same speech on the Fox youtube channel and the comments are exactly the opposite. Hating the speech and Trudeau. Funny how people can watch the same thing and see two different versions.

Can like-minded freedom loving countries create their own trading partners around the world? Let dictator led countries have their own. We'll see who will survive . I am sure FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL!!!

Good on you, Canada. Stay the course. You have a lot of support around the world.

Its time that the US should stop spreading its democracy around the world aka stealing other people's resources. US is worse than Russia.

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

Its time, the whole World needs to stop, re-think, and take measures to end wars. Get together and stop any entity from continuing to do harm to any human being all around the world. Come on, Make this World a Better Place to live in. Take a stand against all evil around the world.

What kind of an ally America with Trump as president?An idiot and trouble makers around the world...

Trump is a vile disease to our world. He does not care about America or American people. He cares only for his own selfish agenda. America is a laughing stock around the world due to the stupidity of the Americans who voted for this pervert Trump.

Before the US election, any concern about Trump's radical proposals was dismissed as falling for his hyperbole or over-reaction, that Trump was just babbling and didn't actually mean half of what he said on any given day. And this was the argument from those trying to defend his campaign. now, watching him deliver on one whackadoo plan after another.. so freaking depressing. The only bright star I have found is that there are still functioning democracies around the world. Never thought I would become a refugee of a totalitarian state. That is now in the realm of possible futures.

This American stands with Canada, Ukraine, and all of our rightfully distraught allies around the world.

We love you Canada- you can’t imagine how embarrassing and infuriating it is to watch our US leadership around the world disappear into a pool of narcissism and congressional sycophants.

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You make me very proud to be a Canadian! True North Strong and Free! ❤??\nAs well, thank you Americans and people around the world for supporting Canada. Bless you all!

It not a trade war it's call making good deals for both nations but this leader but suck up to Joe Biden an Harris an Bush an bill an Hillary an democratic party an deep State around the world.

I think these tariffs/only America and America first policies will be the downfall of Trumps administration and the US economy/influence around the world. We are only driving allies away while bringing inflation/pain to our people. If DOGE isn’t enough to save our debt crisis, this is the start of the end of the US's #1 standing in the world.
