As a Brit I'm proud of Canada and the EU for calling out and standing up to the BS that's happening right now. Rather than caving in and becoming Trump's lapdog. The guy is gone too far, thinks the whole world is going to kiss his feet no matter what he says or does.

As a United States ?? citizen living in Canada ?? “I’m proud of you ?? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

Proud of Justin Trudeau of saying what needs to be said. As an American, I'm embarrassed by the way our government is behaving. This needs to stop! This bullying and chest puffery is only going to be our demise.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

I'm so proud of Canada very nice people i have visited Canada in 2016 i had a Job in Iraqi embassy I'm from Iraq and I say Canada really don't deserve this they are just really good people May God bless you all and peace be upon this Earth ❤❤

Very nice speech Mr. Trudeau! \nI'm proud to have cousins like you! \nFrance (and Europe) with you! \nAmerican citizens need to realize the reality!

I'm so proud of our Prime Minister what an intelligent speech. Now this what a true leader should be.

F*ck Drump and his voters. Now we all have to suffer through it. I'm so proud of Canadian. Good job for standing upfor your country and for your people. This is how an intelligent growth adults speak. No yelling,no lies,no bully.

‼️?‼️ I'm so proud to be Canadian. Especially now??‼️?‼️

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

I'm an American that PROUDLY STANDS WITH CANADA!!

Yes!!! I'm a US citizen and so proud of Canada!!

As a Canadian, I may not have agreed with everything Trudeau has done in the past 9 years. However he’s handled this American threat with class and dignity and I’m proud of our response. American/Canadian relations will never be the same. After all of this is over, there is a lot of apologies and healing that has to happen before we can even start thinking about rebuilding this relationship.

As an American, I'm embarrassed how our president acts and talks. God-bless us all. Look how a real president talks and acts Canadian should be proud.

Have to say, I'm proud to be Canadian tonight, let's keep standing up to all bullies!!

I’m proud of the Canadian leaders, who are kind and care about the well being of Canadians, and the world, Canadian leaders who are respectful, and don’t bully the less fortunate countries, I’m so proud of the Canadian leaders, the Canadian leaders who aren’t bullies, and are well educated, unlike US leader Trump.

I'm proud of my canadian people.\nWe should all stay together to face this lunatic's war on canada

I'm a Conservative politically, but so PROUD of my Prime Minister today. His shining moment. Historically when pushed into a corner, Canadians come together and fight like hell. This will be no exception.

I’m proud to be Canadian!

As an American, I'm so proud of Canada and the rest of the World for not standing for the actions of an incompetent, lieing, wanna-be-dictator. God bless you all! Most Americans are just as appalled and angry as you are! Stay strong my friends!

As an American I'm proud of Canada's response to 47's tariff insanity.

Canada, Germany is proud of you❤ \nand I´m proud of the amazing comments from the lovely Americans, who see the truth of the face of Trump. He is the wolf in sheeps cloth

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Canadian here and i was just hoping he wasn't gonna just roll over to Trump and I'm so glad he didn't nor do I understand him claiming we're the ones bringing the fent. I knew that was bulls**t. I'm actually FINALLY quite proud of an action out of this man FINALLY, cuz let's face it Trudeau, ya aint done much positive other than legalizing the weed. But I kinda believe in ya now for growing a set and actually standing up here.

First time this guy has jjsg stated facts and nothing else.. took 10 years but proud of you for Justine. All jokes aside, I’m glad he isn’t rolling over

Trudeau just peaked. \n\nHe’s had his stumbles, and there’s so much to criticize him for, but today, I’m proud to call him my prime minister.

As someone from the U.K. \nI’m proud to say I stand with you.\nFabulous,mature speech.

I've never been so proud to be Canadian... wait, I'm American.... :/

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!

I'm soo proud our PM addressed the American people. It's up to them now!

I'm from Montreal but live in Vermont. I hold Canadian AND American citizenship. I've NEVER been so proud to be a Canadian. Yet, here in Vermont, MOST of us, including Governor Scott, detest Trump and his minions. Love 'n optimism, Heather in Newport Vermont

I’m sickened what Trump is doing and no longer a proud American

Thank you Justin, Prime Minister Trudeau. No, you haven’t been a perfect Prime Minister, but in this moment I’m very proud of you. Merci Justin, Premier ministre Trudeau. Non, vous n’avez pas été un Premier ministre parfait, mais en ce moment, je suis très fier de vous. ??

I’m proud Canadian❤???

I’m French Canadian and proud ?? ? I live in US but did NOT vote for trump

As an Australian I am so proud of Canada my second favourite country -- well done. I'm not buying anything American and certainly won't travel there. Direct flights from Brisbane to Vancouver mean I don't even have to go over the US.

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

I’m a proud American ! Trudeau is an idiot for not meeting our demands. It could’ve been resolved simply. We don’t want tariffs, we are using them to force your hand and meet our demands, and instead, you’re letting the people of your country suffer

I'm so proud of this guy and I'm not even Canadian. But I love Canada.

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

I'm European and I am so proud about Mr. Trudeau and his team. What an intelligent people. The speech is simple to understand but together it is so strong and says all that matters. Applause. 20-40 years ago US was seen as a dream country here in EU, every east European dreamed to live there, but not anymore. Today most would not go to US to live even if they are payed to do so. US reputation is in historical downfall.

❤❤❤❤❤ I'm sooooo proud of PM Trudeau!!!!! Don't back down to the lying con-man wanna be dictator Trump!!!!!❤\n\nEmbarrassed to be in a country that could elect a Trump and his cronies ?

I’m from the uk ! If your a Canadian you must be mighty proud Trudeau talking so articulately and powerfully this is a true leader someone trump could learn from ????

I'm an American and proud of Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

I'm proud to be a Canadian even though I am American. This is a true leader!

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

I’m proud of my prime minister and of my country! ??

I'm so proud of our PM, Justin Trudeau. This is how a true leader speaks. ☮???

We all know it had nothing to do with fentanyl. It is Trump's agenda. Reading all the comments I am also proud of Canada but we need to do something about Trump! Are we just going to keep letting this happen? Him screwing us all the while his wife and buddies and himself making money for themselves??? I'm ready for the next Revolution!
