I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

Many of us stand with our strongest friend and neighbor. This is not what the people of the U.S. desire, it is not what we want either. The government that stands against our friends and allies and we are using our voices in hopes someone who is sucking his teat takes a moment to come to common sense. We are not a great nation in this moment and my heart aches for the many impacted from this rediculous moment of arrogance, name calling and isolation from the world

Instead of standing down, the Canada PM decided to impose 25% tariffs on its own people just to combat a war with the USA instead of mending their relationship and fight the fentanyl crisis together.

Man I can not stand trump... I do not get what people where thinking voting him back in.. this is the dumbest thing to elect a man that's so much in to being a Putin puppet.... but what can ya do.. I cant afford to move somewhere else...

If your own people hate you dont give advice. I love how everyone cries just because we arent handing out freebees.. trillions in debt weve been paying the world for decades they tax us over and over and over while leaving our own people in crisis now Trump standing up and doing what we elected him to do.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

As an anxious autistic British American I will always stand with my fellow Canadian friends this is beyond diabolical I’m so disgusted for the people that voted for this convicted felon president ??‍♀️

I do not understand how a country with a 250 year old democracy can stand by and let this Cheeto chewing prick ruin the lives of both Americans and Canadaians ??? Why are we not hearing from any senators or other goverment officials speaking out against this rediculously deluded individual?? This guy is choosing RUSSIA...RUSSIA!! and siding with Putin over his closest allies and the American people and no one is saying word one about it. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

As an American, I stand with Canada. I am worried, but someone needs to stand up to Trump. I am sorry that it is not the US. So many people still support him and I just don’t understand it.

Careful, he'll say you started it. I'm an American who spent time playing in the CFL. The people of Canada couldn't be nicer or a more fair people. They are reasonable, smart & polite. Please America don't be fooled. THEY WILL NOT STAND FOR YOUR ARROGANT ENTITLEMENT. #FAAFO I stand with 'Oh Canada'!

God bless the brave people of Canada for standing up to our unstable president and vice president. I am sad for the country I call home. I am still at a loss and feel very unsettled that Donald Trump was elected president. His presidency is marked by retaliation and actions that are ego boosting for him. Yet, many people don’t see it this way ?‍♀️. I am hoping and praying that other countries remember that not everyone is on board with Donald Trump and his party.

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

It’s remarkable how a very small group of individuals gets to speak for the entire country. I feel like the overwhelming majority of Americans support Canada and want to keep relations healthy and strong.\n\nHow much blood has been shed over the egos of a few? We are pawns in their game. The People stand together!

Can't stand Trudeau, just like millions of Canadians can't either, but he spoke well here and is standing in for his peoples best interests for a change so i can't fault in for that

He's all about fighting for Canada but he won't take the make believe carbon tax off stand up for your people mister

We don’t want this either The American people stand with Canada!

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

Prime Minister Trudeau, please don't lump the people of the US. with trump or maga, most of the people are against everything trump and maga do, and thank you for standing up to that pompous ass.

From Sweden! GREAT CANADA!! Scandinavia stands with you! \n227 / 5 000 \nI and everyone around me have already started boycotting everything from the USA. Until all good Americans with good judgment manage to get rid of the incompetent, immature and destructive fake people who are now defiling America's beautiful White House.

American here. My father fought and died to protect our freedoms which allowed the US to forge relationships with our allies and bring peace to people around the world.thank you PM Trudeau for showing many what a true leader looks like and how to protect your people, unlike our shameless and idiotic leader. I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all countries that demonstrate true democracy

Love how he switched to/from sugar-coat mode. We all know who needed the sugarcoating. It wasn't the Canadians. I stand with ?? and the ??. I apologize for the crass buffoon currently living (part-time) in the White House. He's crossing too many boundaries. The people of this continent are angry!

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

American people stand with TRUMP and Trudeau CONSPIRACY AGAINST AMERICA AGAINST TRUMP REGIME

? Canadian and i supported Trump then Kamla Harris and now i regret not a Smart move of Trump this will Hurt people both sides of the Border Canada will stand it's Ground and will take its Businesses to other part of the World ? Sad to see this Happened.

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

As an individual Japanese, I cannot stand the current US president and vice president. I demand an impeachment trial. In order to protect America and the American people, these two people who do not call Russia a dictatorship, call Ukraine a dictatorship, and refuse to use Russia's frozen assets should be impeached. They say such things to China, but in reality they are lenient, and it is impossible that they treat Canada and Mexico worse than China. Please. American people, please do not accept dictatorship.

It is really hard to believe that Trump isn't a russian asset, considering that he constantly goes after his own people, country and allies.... He is going after everyone who is standing in the way of Russia and (American) oligarchs (FBI, nuclear weapons etc.), ignoring all existing laws

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

Most Americans cannot stand this imperialism criminal president's trade policy. People are going to pay for a higher cost of living.

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.

I admire a leader who can stand up for their people this way! As an American I am saddened and embarrassed over the way or so called leaders have been acting and treating others.

The American people need to stand up and do something with this President.

Canada everyone will stand up with you all and for what is right.\nThe only people who will stand with that orange despicable disgrace are: MAGA, DICTATORS, PEOPLE COMMITTING GENOCIDE and all THOSE WHO ARE CONTROLLED BY SATAN HIMSELF!!\nMAGA is a demonic cult with members who have got no LOVE, no EMPATHY, fuelled by HATE and are all just DEMONS with no soul!!\nGOOD WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER EVIL EVERY TIME.

Michigander here who stands with Canada and Ukraine. I’m terrified with what’s happening to my country and the people in it. ?

As a black female American we man, he has to do what he has to do and I applaud him for standing a a true leader. It’s going to be tough for us here, this government is selfish and this people voted him in now we all have to deal with this mess. I highly respect President Trudeau, a true leader

Stop drugs pouring into america & it will end cant stand this bloke he froze bank accounts of his own people

Canada l stand with you and that rest of the Democratic world. Unfortunately we have an idiot in chief who doesn't have a blanking clue on how to run a botega yet alone in the United States of America.\nTo yours truly the felon in chief your days are numbered the American people will make it a priority to remove you from the white house along with the Maga bootlickers that support your blank toosh . Trudeau Mad Respect to you a true leader in chief of the free world.

Real Americans will always stand with our allies. We are heartbroken, and it’s time for our people to fight. We will never support this current administration ??

Stay strong Canada! Trump is starring in the movie Canadian Bacon. \nWe the people need to stand against trumps and his fascist administration and the traitorous republican legislators!

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Bravo Canada - as an American I stand against all bullies and my president is not a leader but he is a bully. I have no respect for him or anyone in his administration. He is a puppet of the Russian Federation because he is hostage to V. Putin. My supposed leader is a coward. He instead of helping a country at war with a vicious enemy and helping that country he betrays them and cuts aid and forgets the very foundation of this country that fought a vicious enemy to be free and independent. Fight for all you are worth Canada. Most people in the United States Stand With You - those who don't are supporters of a corrupt criminal posing as president.

Why is the u.s. taking advantage of Canada’s kindness..Canadians are kindhearted people..the world stand with them ??.

I am a Trinbagonian?? all the way in the Caribbean and I stand with Canada❤But guess what,the American people voted for that?Then again,Biden or Kamala Harris wasn't a better pick either?
