As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

This is leadership, devoid of self-interest, bigotry, cowardice, or division. It is hard to be misrepresented by “Donald”, who is desecrating what it means to be an American. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech is inspirational and would fill me with fighting spirit if I were a Canadian. “Donald” contributed the divisions in our country and now he is isolating us from our allies. As Americans, we are stuck in a relationship with an over narcissist. Being American stays alive in every one of us who upholds the ideals of our country. A president is a civil servant, so he is our employee. He does not behave like an employee and as such, he should be fired. It is what “Donald” would do. ??‍♂️

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

As a Canadian, I have voted him out every chance I had, always thinking their could not be a worse leader than him, than America says hold my beer. Now, I stand with my prime minister Justin Trudeau. I have cancelled our annual family trip to the states. I wish you all well, but I stand with my country

As an American, I stand with Canada.?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking today to us and for us.

Our Prime Minister Trudeau would have said what he said regardless if he was stepping down. Canada strong and proud!

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for your wise leadership.

Trudeau should stay our prime minister.

Very good speech by Honourable Prime Minister of Canada Mr. Justin Trudeau

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

Thank you so much Mister Prime Minister Trudeau. I truly wish you can stay our Prime Minister! You’re a boss?

If tRump ever came back to say something , about what Prime Minister Trudeau is saying it would be something really stupid. tRump is destroying this country and we will never come back from this, ever.

American here, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau's leadership. Trump's tariffs serve no purpose other than being a jerk. Stay strong Canada, stand up to this bully.

Excellent speech! Well done Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you

Native Floridian in the US here sending big hugs out to Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau, Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and Mexico and La Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum❣️ I wish my one vote and activism had been enough to stop the re-election of such a horrid, arrogant individual back into our WH. It all makes sense if he is aligning us with Russia

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau for telling it like it is.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

People saying they stand trudeau or canada please understand that this same prime minister RUINED CANADA. .

I'm glad Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister at this critical time. His poise, intelligence and strength are reassuring. Thank you.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau. Wish the US President had a brain and could understand your sensible, honest words. I am American. Our President and Vice President have been bought by Putin and Musk. I am ashamed.

This what leadership looks like. Too bad the US doesn't have this. ? Canada def with you and appreciate how Prime Minister Trudeau addressed. This is sad and is going to hurt EVERYONE.??

So so sorry for us all. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I pray we will be allies very soon.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau is an excellent example of an elected parliamentarian stranding up for Canadians and defending Canada ?? ???. Some canadians who wanted Trudeau to resign will regret later. Trump knows that Trudeau is a strong leader.

I am Italian and standing with Canada, Mexico, Europe and Ukraine .. Proud of Prime Minister Trudeau

I applaud our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He comes in strong, clear, no flourishes. No shade of weakness at all. Specially when he was addressing Trump directly. Polite like a true Canadian but pointed. Too bad, he won't be our PM after next week.

Justin Trudeau: Canada's most CORRUPT Prime Minister. Go for Pollievre.

As a Canadian Trudeau is a fool. He's one of the most hated, if not the most hated Prime Minister in history. He's a known liar and has acted like a dictator in this country over his tenure and continues to send OUR money to fight a war on the Ukraine that most Canadians have no interest in. It's funny reading Americans and people all over praising this guy. If you like him so much, you can keep him. Most people would he glad to be rid of Trudeau.

Trudeau is on his last days as Prime Minister for a reason, but this at least sounds like a real leader. Donald, take note.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke eloquently and professionally as a true leader should. Canada you will get through this. I am neither Canadian or American but I am with Canada but I stand firmly with Canada. I love your country and I love Canadians.❤❤❤❤❤

I APPLUAD YOU, PRIME MINISTER MR. TRUDEAU\nAND AS AN AMERICAN I WANT YOU TO KNOW I STAND WITH CANADA??, MEXICO THE UK & EUROPE. NOT RUSSIA. \nI BACK THE UKRAINIANS ??\nGOD BLESS YOU\nGOD BLESS ALL OF US.\nI APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING AN IDIOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

I’m so proud of my ??Prime Minister ? he’s eloquent, honest, intelligent and handsome too. \nMr. Trudeau, you addressed the person correctly when you called him “Donald” he has nothing close resembling that of a President. \n\nIt will be difficult but I’m ready to stand with my country and fight against bullying!??

So proud of our PRIME MINISTER Trudeau. Thank you for calling him donald and telling it like it is! I have NEVER referred to donald as president and NEVER WILL. He is no president. He is not worthy of such a title, never will be. America belongs to the enemy now, allies no more.

BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

I find it particularly effective that Canada is focusing on red state America. Kentucky alcohol is just one example. Prime Minister Trudeau is also targeting those issues that they can most effectively respond, like electricity in the norther tier, LNG (shifting to EU). Trump is screwing over our closest and greatest allies, in deference to Putin, a war criminal.

Trudeau isn't our prime minister anymore ...he speaks for himself only

Prime Minister Trudeau, I can safely say I do not support what Trump has done, and definitely did not vote for the orange man. The majority of us Americans are with you... We are sorry. This is just a hot mess, and it is only March...

WOW, Prime Minister Trudeau, Canada is very proud of YOU!!!!!!!!!! and that kind of leadership is what we needed in the USA. Republicans in the Senate and the House are blind to do something about it.

I've never been so impressed with Trudeau. Thank you for representing us with strength and heart. Fuckin eh Mr Prime Minister

Prime Minister Trudeau, can you annex America so we can have common sense leadership again. You and Ukrainian Leader Zelensky are true leaders. Trump is hurting our allies and most of all us Americans. Just know i and many other Americans did not vote for Trump, a criminal and womanizer, I as an American stand with Canada. Go Canada,!!!!!

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

Much gratitude to you Prime Minister Trudeau ! Well done, I am proud to be Canadian ❤

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

I'll say what Prime Minister Trudeau couldn't say.\n\nThe US President and half of the nation's population are modern day Nazi's. They blame 'outsiders' for their problems. They fund genocide and advocate for ethnic cleansing. They blame their economic woes on other nations and attack erstwhile allies. They threaten to annex other nations.\n\nThese are all things that Adolf Hitler did in Germany. The similarities are remarkable. \n\nCanada is strong and most importantly, united. There's no question that we will get through this.\n\nThe United States is weak and incredibly divided. I fear for the chaos that is to come and for the other half of the population that are not Nazi's. This is what it was like to live in 1930s Germany.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau.

The only thing I disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau is that the Donald is dumb. Period.

What is this idiot Trudeau speak?he has just two days as prime minister?

F Trudeau man... he isnt even going to be the prime minister in a few days. Little mangina.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for your steadfast leadership in these challenging times. Your clear and decisive response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs demonstrates a commitment to protecting Canadian interests and upholding the integrity of your nation's economy. \n\nIt's reassuring to witness a leader who can speak sense and stand firm against unwarranted actions. \n\nYour dedication to maintaining strong international relationships while addressing internal challenges reflects true statesmanship. Canada is fortunate to have such principled guidance as we navigate these complexities together.​ #IStandWithCanada

Trudeau is an idiot and has destroyed our country. He's no longer Prime Minister. He resigned finally. He knows he's not wanted in this country. He refuses to leave office. Anything he says now is worthless. Anything he's ever said has only done damage to Canada.
