Indians are people who you can trust and respect, Hindus and Sikhs especially. It’s not a problem when these communities integrate perfectly within Canada or the US. Human trafficking operations are conducted by a small minority who are paid to often be anti their own country of origin. Remember all the white people are actually European immigrants into the Americas, this is just an example of continuous migration of humans, some of whom conducted bad businesses, even in the beginning of the colonisation of the Americas. You call yourself the originals, but you are just immigrants as well. The Native Americans and Inuits were the originals. And yet you have nearly wiped them out. The United States of America is standing on the dead bodies of the natives! The hypocrisy when they call out new immigrants entering America and Canada!

At this point, I'm over every culture. We have been conditioned in the West to think that we have no culture, we need to embrace, worship, and accept everyone else's culture. Really over it. We have built a beautiful way of life in the western world and we should work harder to preserve it. I've been to India. Although I like most Indians that come to our part of the world, WE DO NOT WANT OUR COUNTRY TURNING INTO INDIA (or any other country/culture for that matter). Assimilate, get with the program, or GTFO. Enough is enough. Americans, Canadians, Europeans..stand up for your country and culture before it is completely erased. If we decided to move to any of these third world countries and pull the same crap, locals would be up in arms.

Most Americans living in the U.S. today aren’t originally from there — their ancestors migrated from Europe just a few centuries ago. Yet documentaries like this make it seem as if others are ‘taking over’ their land. The same story exists in places like Australia, where the original Indigenous population is now a small minority. Over time, migration changes every country’s demographics — it’s a global reality, not an invasion. Even cities like London, Toronto, or New York are built by immigrants from across the world. So before calling it a ‘takeover,’ remember that every nation today stands on layers of migration, adaptation, and cultural exchange.

Anti Immigration / refugee protests on an already occupied land eradicating indigenous populations by European settlers is nothing but a joke. The mere fact your ancestors arrived here 2-3 generations back, doesn't offer entitlement as owner of the land. Do you remember how many slaves European Colonizers have killed? King Leopold, Algerian war of Independence against France, how many African slaves lost their lives to build the Congo-Ocean Railway? Spanish demolition of Aztec and Inca empire in South America, did you remember the Encomienda system?! Why did Taino people vanish on Caribbean Island?! Portuguese forced labor policies in Angola, Mozambique?? Millions of them lost lives to fight against Portuguese colonizers. Then our favorite East India Company, the British empire where Sun Never Set. They decimated India, Australian Aboriginal, New Zealand Māori and Red Indians, native Americans who migrated to America from Asia long back. How many natives' indigenous populations countries after countries, continent after continent, their father mother daughter son wife husband grandparents your ancestors have killed???? Do you have any count????? In this civilized world no Supremacists be it Right or Left wing, especially Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin like White Supremacist have no place anymore, you have done enough good for the world. You cannot justify your stand using a Charlie Kark.

Question to you Mr Prime Minister is this, why did you wait till Trump resumed before taking measures to curb this drug inflow? Why should the Americans trust these measures? Would these measures be sustained? Why should America trust you? Also, why did the Democrats and biden take action? I stand with trump and I guess you two leaders should meet on this again to relax the trade war.

As an American I stand with Canada. I’m ashamed to be an American.

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

American citizens who stand with Canada\n⬇

This American is ashamed of my country to the point of embarrassment. I will never support this administration. I stand with anyone who opposes the American/Russian Alliance.

The EU stands with you Canada! We need to show each and everyone of the American people that whatever the orange man is doing only benefits him and the other super rich oligarchs.

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

I’m an American and I stand with Canada. They need to raise taxes on the wealthy and stop trying to avoid the inevitable.

100% tariffs on Teslas. I am American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine

This is why THE WORLD respects Trudeau. Dumb ass Trump thinks he's genius for imposing tarrif's to their long standing economic partners, but he is ACTUALLY DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD to the american people. Countries will tarrif back hurting both businesses and the american people he so wish to give a good life to. They are a bunch of clowns who are basically just giving us good television. Americans are not dumb. Trump will keep on twisting and twising the narrative to sell his side of the story, but it's clear as day that the only back Trump has ever got is Putin's. Sadly, America is becoming a lapdog of Russia under Trumps pretentious leadership.

Lots of Americans on here saying they are embarassed or stand with Canada.. sorry but you're outvoted. The AMERICAN people VOTED in their MAJORITY for this. Trump said he would do it, got elected and he's done it. \n\nPeople like you commenting say you want democracy but it seems you only want it when you win.

Im from American and im ashamed weve gotten to this...i stand with canada

I´m from Germany and I think Trudeau shows how to be a real leader, not a showmaster. What makes me thougtful is to see the Republicans cheering to Donalds inhumane statements. We Germans historicaly know, that this kind of right wing politics can lead to a real desaster. I don´t understand, why only such a little number of americans are standing up and demonstrate for their rights und safe their democracy. This could all end very bad.

as an american I may not stand behind trudeau's policies or past, but i felt pride and respect today seeing him speak directly to us god bless his soul and canada

As an American— thank you neighbor, I stand with you….

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

WE, the sane, rational-minded Americans, DID not vote for this crap. We stand with our allies.

“Anti-american”? Shutup! He is just standing for his people, as any decent leader should. Donald could learn a lot from him

I'm American and stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Wow, Trump is making some huge progress for the USA, in less than a month he has upset more countries, of which were mostly allies of America, and turned them into anti Americans and all in less than a month, and he calls that progress into making America great again .. maga ? Really or maybe it stands for making a globe angry. There’s only a very small handful of people that actually like Trump, that’s his family (debatable) JD (his puppet) and Putin (his new ally) wow America what have you done ??

The Europeans, Ukrainians and Canadians are standing up for their countries ? What about Americans? If they don't take back contol of their country, we are all going to suffer big time.

Czech Republic ?? stands with Canada! And admire how you all deal with this. What a great speach of a real gentleman. “We are polite but we will not back down from a fight” - what a line! “Donald” has an utterly twisted mind and am so glad so many Americans know it.\nThe way how he and his pet Vance treat Ukraine is sick on the whole other level.

And Jesus, why are you talking around it? Call that stupid MO Fo out! Talk around it, God! Stop Trump or we're gonna be a communist country! WAKE UP American press, we the people ate watching, speak up or you too will have a FAFO moment! I stand with Canada, elbows up!

10:22 “anti-Americanism”??! What a transparent attempt to twist the truth. Trudeau made it clear that his issue is with Trump, not the USA. He literally could not have made that clearer. “Escalation”??! This is a response to Trump’s provocation, what was he meant to do? Just sit back and take it? Trudeau knows the best thing to do for his country is stand up to a bully, and that’s what Trump is. Get a grip.

He sold out Canada , next American will have to stand up strong & brave or else he’s going to block all elections and tries to erase our democracy in order to stay in power.

As an American I stand with Canada against this Russian asset in the White House.

American here. My take? This is not about protectionism this is about isolationism. \nWhy would Trump want this? This is about becoming the first American dictator of the Western Hemisphere. \nHyperbolic? Nope. Trump controls the Senate, House, Doge, Project 2025 is in the White House, all the branches of the Defense Department, the Attorney General and his offices, six of the nine seats on the Supreme Court, and assigned over 250 Federal judgeships to the Federal courts which are a lifetime appointment. The ONLY thing that is standing in the way of Trump are the Federel judges that actually understand the constitution and do not want to destroy this nation. The fly in the ointment? Courts can issue an order based on the constitution or our laws, but does not have any way to enforce them if Trump should just disregard their order. That is how close we are to a dictatorship.\nWake Up America.?\n P.S. Sorry Canada! Coalesce, find new trade partners, and leave the United States behind. We are no longer worthy of your friendship.

Go Canada! EU will happily take over the trade you had with the US :) Thank you for standing with the Free world ❤\nI know Trudeau was not liked and there's political differences and discontent in other countries as well but damn is it soothing to hear politicians talk with dignity and intelligence, unlike some American top officials right now!

Germany stands with Canada!!! Come to Europe/Mexico for your vacations! I will avoid buying american products wherever possible and buy Canadian/Mexican/European instead!!! Greetings from Germany!!!

An American just South of the Canadian border. \nI stand by Canada our neighbor to the north. \nAmazing speaker.

Bro should not cry\nAmerica has spoonfed Canadians \nNow it is their time to stand up on their fuking knees\n\nThis is not trade war\nThis is for creating jobs in America for Americans \nSimple\nGovernor Tuesday or Trudeau

I am an American and I stand with our world allies not this evil man named Donald.... Get old man Donny out of there! He is an evil dictator who spreads nothing but hate and fear.

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

I am a Republican leaning American who did not vote for Trump (never voted for him), and I urge every country to stand up to bullying tactics of Trump. I am relatively rich, so this fluctuating market or rising egg prices will not affect me; poorer people than me will be affected greatly. And ironically, these poorer people voted for Trump. I just don't understand it because if I am a poor American, I would have voted for Bernie Sanders because at least the guy has some integrity unlike most politicians. And I am sorry to say I would have voted for Kamala Harris if she were not so dumb. Even though I lean Republican in that my values align more with Republican ideals, I consider whether a candidate has strong integrity and found none in Trump and Kamala Harris.

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

Dear Canada, as an American, i am so sorry, this butthead is not my doong and i am ashmed of my country I STAND WITH CANADA, MEXICO AUSTRALIA AND THE EU, I HATE DONNOLD trump

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

??❤ I'm an American grandchild of a couple from Brighton, Ontario. I stand with my Canadian cousins and friends.

I'm from the Netherlands, Canada you rock! We stand by you and Ukraine ?. We planned a family vacation to America this year and after the fight with Zelenski we annuled it immediately. Not going to spend my hard earned money in a country that defends a murderous dictator. Americans, I know it's Donald and the republicans, and that most of you don't want this. I hope the tides will turn quickly

We don’t want this, either. My friends and I are getting more of us to fight Trump! Americans stand with Canada!!

It has been pure chaos since Donald has been in office. He constantly threats Americans health and welfare! Again I stand with Canada ?

Deeply ashamed to be American and that filthy parasite in the White house is NOT my president. Bravo canada standing up to that miserable bully!!

As an American citizen and lifelong military brat I am ashamed of what the US has become in just 6 weeks. Prime Minister and Canada I am sorry our disaster of a government is effecting you in this way. I stand in support of all of our allies. ?

I am from Germany and I stand with Canada, Mexico, the Ukraine and with all US American citizens who are not supporting Trump.
