I'm not Canadian but I love Canada. Awesome people, awesome country. I'm 100% on your side. Trudeau rocks - he's smart, intelligent and honest. Please keep him as PM. Come to Europe, come to Australia & NZ. We love you guys, The tariffs are outrageous and disgusting and total kudos for standing up to the bully.

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.

Massive respect from Australia ?? ohh boy Trudeau got Frumpy by the ghoulies lol ? ???Go Canada ?? from Down Under we stand with you. Frumpy has put tariffs on our stuff too! I’m off to buy some delicious real Canadian ?? maple syrup and whipping up a batch of delicious pancakes on Saturday morning. ?

Watching in Australia. Excellent speech, done with strength, class and compassion. ??. Standing with Ukraine and Canada.

Bravo! Great speech! Thank you for standing up for Truth & Common Sense, Canada! From Australia.

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

Good on you Canada, Australia supports your standing up to Trump. He has even hit Australia with tariffs on steel and Aluminium. Trump is a criminal and a traitor to his country.

Standing with you Canada here in Australia ! A dignified, respectful, articulated response. Thankyou

Australia stands with CANADA and UKRAINE ????????

Trump is doing this so he thinks Canada will fold and give their beautiful country to him! Stand strong Canada. We, in Australia, another Commonwealth country, are behind you ?

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

I'm from New Zealand. I live in Australia ?? I stand with Canada ??

Trump managed to piss off Canada, a country that literally has no issues with anyone, like how do you do that? Canada is like the nice popular girl out of the popular girls group. Like she knows she’s pretty and popular but is humbled about it . And when her friends bully you, she stands up for you. Only trump can manage to piss off someone like that off. From Australia, we stand with you 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.

Australia stands with Canada, this is a shameless act by America

AUSTRALIA ?? STANDS WITH CANADA ??

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

Australia stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. America will become another isolated country run by a despot that serves Russia, no better than North Korea, and the American people will suffer the same poverty North Korea and Russia suffer because only the rich elites benefit under fascist dictatorships.

From Australia, we stand with Canada.

Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan .... will stand together. The russian assets capturing Washington DC have no chance.

Stand Tall Canada - the World is watching you stand against another murderous dictator in waiting.. Canada must broach all avenues of economics.. even those in the southern hemisphere.. Australia is one economy.. l was born in Australia.. and stand with the Canadians... the people of the free world must stand together

Australia and New Zealand stands with Canada.

Australia ?? stands with Canada ?? ❤

Australia and I am sure the other 1.2 billion people of the commonwealth stands with Canada

Australia stands with Canada. We love our Canadian cousins ????? Slava Ukraine! ????
