I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

Nearly 73,000 comments in 8 hours, and so much support for Canada. As a Canadian, I am profoundly grateful, thank you all so much! We didn't want this, but we're in it with everything we've got.

Michigander living in Louisiana (right now)—So embarrassed and ashamed of this country. Millions of us here in the US did NOT choose this administration—and we support Canada in its resistance, resilience, and continual rationality. I grew up very close to the Canadian border—should've moved up there when I had the chance. Open to Canadian marriage proposals! (Joking. (Sort of.))

Brilliant!!! Well thought out and so well presented! Great work Canada!!!

trudeau is a clown. Did'nt he resign ???? He is corrupt and Canada needs to get rid of him ??? they need someone that is capable ???

Trump is making like India vs Pakistan to Canada and USA which is not good

Cnn, go to Canada

I stand with Canada!

lol to those seeing Trudeau speak for the first time and coming to the conclusion that because he’s easy on the eyes, and is articulate that he is somehow competent. Dude just resigned as leader of his party and has driven Canada into the ground.

Hey Canada, you guys looking for a Plumber up there? The weather might be colder, but the hearts are warmer.

I'm moving to Canada

Dont remember anything made in Canada lol

Don’t forget Canada death we will no longer be a customer, and you will lose money

Did Canada assess how much illegal drugs come into their country from their southern border? My guess would be that it's more than what flows down

Canada, tell me: What is the difference between an assistant drama teacher and a smart person? A drama teacher will fight a losing battle against an economic giant that doesn't need Canada as much as Canada needs him. For Americans, the high cost of Canadian goods will just make them turn to non-Canadian substitute products; for Canadians, we cannot help but buy US products despite the higher costs because we don't have a lot of alternatives. In the long run, Canada will cave in and become the 51st State. Why don't we skip the hardship part and just go straight to where we become part of an economic giant!

What a BEAUTIFUL SPEECH!!! So refreshing to watch a real professional intelligent PM. GO CANADA. NZ IS WITH YOU!!

I Stand with Canada

Trump is KGV no longer an Allied to Canada

WE STARTED THE TRADE WAR\nAS OF LAST OCTOBER 31st 2024 CANADA IMPOSED THESE TARIFFS ON THE USA \n\nDAIRY : Milk (270%) Cheese (245%) Butter (290%)\n\nPOULTRY : Chicken (238%)\n\nAGRICULTURAL : Eggs (163%) Barley seed (57.8%) Bovine/Meat (26.5%)\n\nMANUFACTURED : Cars (25%) HVAC (45%) Vacuums (35%) Cable Boxes (35%) TVs (45%)\n\nMETALS : Steel (25%) Aluminum (35%) Copper (45%)\n\nI am Canadian and fact of the matter is that we started this tariff fiasco last year. The USA is done being ripped off.

The bastard son of Fidel Castro rules Canada.

That's a president. ? No, Trudeau brings up a good point. Canada should be very careful who they allow to buy their companies. I'd ban American corps from it entirely or you risk being taken over that way.

A rough road ahead...I support Canada and in 2 years we can dump drump/republicans. Honestly republicans have forsaken our country

❤Love From Singapore. Great Respect to Canada which participated many Justice wars but never brag and expect for credits return❤

Trudeau has drug Canada's Economy Down and Held the Proud Canadian People Hostage depending on Already Unfair Tax/Trade Terriffs on American Products that have kept Trudeaus Criminal Administration!

Make America Southern Canada!

Oh canada your not as important as you think you are.

Canada is cooked

Sorry Canada! Half of Americans do not want this!

Your going down Canada and your little friend mexico

Donald Trump has a dream of going to war with Canada and Mexico to eventually take over their territory…typical NAZI 1939 mentality????

Trudeau is a raging idiot. Canada wouldn’t be in this position if he was doing his job and followed his obligations. He’s talking tough, looking like he cares for Canada after he has ruined our once great country try for the last 9 years.

Yup. The USA needs goods from Canada more than Canada needs goods from the USA .This will cripple Red States ?

Im ?? & have ?? relatives--I never voted for Trump, both Canada & U.S. need to pollute significatly less there was slug in Canada on beach horse ran into died instantly while rider had to jump to safty--Is he talking about natural ferdalizers or chemical fertalizers cuz chemicals are bad for plants

Canada shouldve been stopping immigrants and deadly drugs a long time ago. Now you want to respond! We lost too many Americans due to thay deadly drug. Hudreds of thousands of americans, including my brother. So to hell wtih Canada and there tarrifs. We dont need there products. Americans, stand stong and weather the storm. Canada will bow down. USA WILL NEVER BOW DOWN!

Canada should teach a lesson by increasing tarrif on electricity which it supplies to Idiot Musk and Trump country.

Canada plays a crucial role in supplying energy to the United States, serving as its largest foreign energy provider. Here's an overview of Canada's contributions to the U.S. energy supply:\n\nCrude Oil:\n\nIn 2023, Canada supplied 60% of the crude oil imported by the U.S., amounting to approximately 3.8 million barrels per day. This represented about 24% of the total crude oil processed by U.S. refineries during that year. \n\n\nNatural Gas:\n\nCanada provided nearly 100% of the natural gas imported by the U.S. in 2023, underscoring its significance in meeting U.S. natural gas demand. \n\n\nElectricity:\n\nIn 2023, Canada exported approximately 33 terawatt-hours of electricity to the U.S., accounting for about 85% of U.S. electricity imports. \n\n\nOverall Energy Trade:\n\nThe total value of energy trade between Canada and the U.S. in 2023 was approximately US$153.7 billion, with Canada exporting energy products worth US$123.7 billion to the U.S. \n\n\nThese figures highlight Canada's pivotal role in supporting the U.S. energy infrastructure across multiple sectors.

Canada ?? ???

Make America Canada. We don’t want Trump as a leader.

You people are so blind why should u.s pay canadas tariffs, but canada doesnt have to pay. 25% for 25% lets do it lets see who caves 1st

Ok, maybe Canada is starting to do something now...but where were you for the last 4 dam years??? Letting Chinese and other illegal aliens enter into our country!!! Only now you want to step up and do the right thing when you should've been doing it all along!!!! POS!!!!

I stand for Canada, very haaard and skilled worker's
