? all you had to do is stop the flow of fentanyl and ilegal immigrants and you couldn’t do that. Who It’s going to hurt more Canada or USA Time will tell.

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

Funny... many many americans say they dont need canada. FAFO! This has gone too far. Look back on the war of 1812 between us and canada... and now look at the tomato clown undoing everything everyones been doing to stay allies. Hes delusional and needs to be taken out for being so god damn inhumane!

These people DO NOT know how to talk to Americans and especially Trump. This is NOT going to work, you should have stuck with the begging and leave the shit talking out tbh - would have served you better! Good luck Canada. But ??

This guy destroy Canada

Make Canada Great Again!

I. Standing for Canada. Mexico. And Ucrania.

Back down from a fight huh. Canada wouldn't be here today if they didn't back down from a fight lol.

Bring it on Canada ! Let's see what you got you piece of sh@@

As someone who has been leaning conservative this election I fully support this decision. This not about policy and social differences. This is about standing up to a much more powerful nation that is headed by a madman. This is an act of war. We need Poilievre to stand up on behalf of the conservative party and declare their support on this matter. The only way we mitigate the blow during this economic crisis is through a unified Canada.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

USA desperately needed planes diverted on 9/11, our airspace was shut down, Canada was right there for us, to take on massive unknown risk not knowing if planes had bombs; Canada entered WWII, years prior to the US, barley spoken of yet they stood tall without hesitation to fight for freedom and for QEII's funeral it was the Royal Canadian mounted police who were first in procession, a massive honor bestowed by the Queen, and much more. We can still banter with one other as always have + Canadians know that sane Americans, do not represent this madness!

As an American, I stand with you Canada. Thank you for standing up for what's right, even if it costs us. We need to learn. ??

Do what you got to do, Mister Trudeau, sir! We know that our orange President and his masters, Puitin and Musk, are Dictators and Tyrants. Our American Government is now corrupt. We, the people, stand with Canada! Do what ya gotta do, sir.

I stand with Canada. Mr. Trump is a traitorous poison working for all intent and purposes for Vladimir Putin and as such, he is a major threat to the national security to this country, Canada, Europe and the world. He and his criminal administration must be removed before they cause the collapse of the west.

In conclusion:\n- Trump closes the debt to GDP gap letting the people pay tarrifs \n- Buy cheap earth minerals in Ukraine instead of Canada \n\nUncle Sam loves Uncle Sam

I could not be prouder of my Canadian ancestors and more ashamed of America now. This is not how you treat your friends and neighbors we will get what we deserve some not me elected a fool and Putin's puppet. We will all suffer for this and It is idiotic but the rich will not feel the pain so it might be time to move to Canada or Mexico where the have real leaders not puppets.

I'm an American. I did NOT vote for that Orange thing! Canada looking better and better. Europe. Anywhere but Trumpland.

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

“Speaking harshly”???—He didn’t advocate for any person or group’s death or curse or make any personal attacks even ???? Canada, would you please consider lowering your visa requirements please omg ?????

I am a US born citizen. I did NOT vote for Trump. I stand with Canada. ??

HOLD UP DONT THEY HAVE TARIFFS ON US ALREADY, TRUMPS IS ONLY DOING WHAT NO OTHER LEADER WOULDNT AS LONG AS THEY WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF! TRUMP DONT NEED ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA BC HE PUTS US FIRST, HES TIRED OF US BEING DONE SHITTY AND THEN THEY WANNA GET UPSET WHEN HE PUTS ON THEM! CANADA TRUDEAU IS NOT VERY SMART, YALL NEED SOMEONE WHO PUTS HIS PPL FIRST BC HE ALREADY HAD 10% OF TARIFFS ON AMERICA AND THE OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL SO HES TRYING TO GET PPL HERE TO BUILD OUR OWN FACTORIES OR THEY CAN COME WITH THERE BUSINESS AND ITS A WIN WIN BUT I UNDERSTAND Y TRUMP IS DOING THIS 100%

Lots of Alcoholics in Canada eh!

He actually thinks we need Canada ?

Sounds like all those Canadian tariffs will force industries back into the United States. Americans will definitely feel short term pain but I would imagine that long term, Canada will be the ones who suffer. ?

Trudeau would be better served if he started calling Canada the 51st State.

Canada. You will comeback and ask for forgiveness!

Can I move to Canada? I want to live in a country with a government that acutally works.

Canada, speaking for the Americans that did not vote for Trump, this is the last thing we wanted. This is going to be a rough 4yrs, but please dont hold this against us.

As an american im on Canada's side. Make it hurt.

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

Trump can’t gaslight anymore. Trudeau just stated the facts. Why are we appeasing the enemy and hurting our friend and neighbor, Canada? Trump is mentally ill. He’s a malignant narcissist and sociopath.

Canada already has tariffs on goods exported from the United States to Canada and we rarely have any on them so let me get my popcorn ? ready loading………. The 51st state ?️

They have chosen to shut you down , they dont need canada, stop screwing your own people with your corruption. Stop immigration you have a whole country full of terrorist due to this golabalist no different than starmer. Lying bustard

I live in Australia and I totally support Canada.

I think that Trump is either gone completely mad or he has turned traitor to America. As an Australian I stand completely in solidarity with Canada but really worry about our reliance on the US. If Trump has no loyalty to his neighboring allies , what chance do we have of him supporting us? I am very glad that important people are finally standing up to this bully.

YAY, GO CANADA ❤

canada just good in talking ..70% of us money goes to canada..without u.s canada will not survive..trump is right..

a friend of Canada is not Trudeau. who is a lying corrupt china communist. he has a huge Chinese spy-ops role to play to fool the use

I am Spanish, the real and only father of modern America. Our hearts are with Mexico and Canada.

From the UK, standing with Canada. (And I really hope you put a 100% tariff on Tesla products.). Great, clear speech with coherent sentences and no hyperbole. Great speech. And if Canada is willing to do this, what will China do?

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

“THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN A TRADE WAR!” I would defect to Canada any day! But because of a decision I made as a young man, I can not leave this country. I’m imprisoned in this tragic mess. Kudos to you Trudeau. Stand up for yourselves…. Be the sleeping giant. Proud of you all!

From Romania here: \nwhat a clean and honest speech! Respect for Canada!\nMr. Trump, It is miserable to ally with a criminal. Shame on you! USA is not your company, it's the free world!

This is surreal. Canada? Our enemy? Seriously? Only donald could create a situation this absurdly backwards. I truly believe he wants his legacy to be damaging America beyond repair just to prove he can do it.

Why Canada does not admit, the border is out of control from Canada to USA. Not even one percent trucks are physically checked. Canada thrives on Illegal aliens for vote bank. Governor Trudeau is doing a terrible job for Canada.

Hi Canada, I support your response ❤.
