From America - Mr. Trudeau, thank you. We stand with you, a rational, just man. We know what you're saying is true. At this time, I wish you were our president. Side note- I called canada last week to find out how I could get a visa because I want out of this country. ❤

You said everything, Mr. Trudeau! I stand with Canada and the Ukraine... real leaders!

From Romania: this was a brilliant speech! Well done Canada! We are with you! Stand up against the bully! Chapeau bas Mr. Trudeau!

This man is telling the truth! I STAND WITH CANADA . I’m a US ARMY VETERAN AND IM ASHAMED OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING . Canada please give us to time to contact our government. It’s very dumb . It’s what Russia want , the enemy . Mr. president(Canada ) THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT LEADER .

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.

Do you guys all have memory problems. Trudeau been stealing millions of dollars for years and now he’s Mr canada. Trump is the first to stand up to these corrupt bastards ever.

As a Briton, I would like to say thank you to Mr Trudeau for standing up to the bullies in the White House.\nI will always stand with my Commonwealth brothers in Canada. ??

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

I stand with Canada always. Thank you Mr Trudeau. Please keep up the message. God Bless You.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

What a speech!❤❤❤\nSo proud of our handsome, intelligent Mr. Trudeau!\nThank everyone who supports Canada, thank you for all comments!\nDear American neighbours we love you, but we love and stand united for our beloved Canada??????

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

From Philippines we stand with Canada.. we salute you Mr. President Justin Trudeau.

Well done Mr. Trudeau. Chapeau! A true European (German living in Switzerland) stands with Canada. Hey Canada, you`re happily invited to join the EU, where neighbors have to stand together.

Mr President of Canada common Donald Trump know exactly what he's doing ‼️ he works for Russia he's here to destroy the United States and make it part of Russia or an ally of russia! And if America doesn't stand up he's going to succeed ‼️?????????????

Go Canada ! Great job Mr PM for taking a bold stand

No Mr PM! Trumps and Musk, and their cult following, brought this nonsense to Canada. Us non trumpettes are standing with you ??

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

I stand with Canada and Ukraine Well done Mr Trudeau that was the best speech i have ever heard well done ?

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 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.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

France stands with Canada. Bravo and well said Mr. Trudeau ! ???

Compare Trump and Mr Trudeau purely on their demeanour and the words that they speak. Mr Trudeau has demonstrated here that he is a skilled statesman, he can speak coherently and powerfully. He's not spouting ridiculous insults in the face of Trump's tariffs. He may have fallen out of favour in Canada, but as a British citizen looking in, he stands head and shoulders above Trump and Vance. Thank you for your service Mr Trudeau.

Several generation American here. I do not want this. I stand with Canada! Not Russia, not Trump, not the DC freak show. Thank you Mr Trudeau

It's not always true Canada doesn't stand with a murderer. A convited murderer of former Bangladesh President along with most of his family members has been sheltered in Canada. Despite repeated requests from BD government to extradite him Canadian government especially Mr. Trudeau didn't bother to take any action. It's like kind of cherry picking!

Unfortunately the people who voted the orange clown in should be only one's suffering but we who did not vote for this S--------t show will suffer along with our wonderful allies. Shameful. Shameful and Mr. Trudeau I stand with Ukraine and Canada and I am ashamed of my country that they voted in this horrible person.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

Mr. Trudeau said FO Trump, in the politest manner. I am small but I stand with you Canada, Mexico, Europe

Wow, what an intelligent speech from Mr. Trudeau! (compared to the orange, stupid, crazy old man's liars).\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine. Sorry, American people! We boycott all kinds of American products: NO Tesla, NO vacation in the USA, NO Apple, NO Netflix, NO Lewis, Nike, McDonald, Coke...

Mr. Trudeau, I salute you and your very bold speech. Let us stand together Canada and Europe, I salute you Mr. Trudeau....???

As an American I speak for many that we did not want this for our countries and I condemn our President for being just a bully and a fool. Its so nice hear a leader speak with intelligence and compassion. Mr. Trudeau and the people of Canada I stand with you

Standing with Canada! Well done, Mr Trudeau!\n(Ukrainian ?? temporary living in Portugal ??)

Facts, truths, actual statistics that he didn’t just pull out of the air…can Mr. Trudeau come be our president? What a fantastic, bold speech!\nStanding by you, Canada!! ? ?? Thank you for standing up and saying NO!

You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Prime Minister. As an American Veteran, it breaks my heart that we are treating our closest friends and allies with such contempt. The current U.S. administration is a shameful embarrassment to Americans. I love Canada almost as much as I love my own country. Stay strong and keep standing up to the senile bully in the White House - for ALL of us. ??❤️??

I stand with Canada! Mr. Trudeau is a great man.

Bravo Mr. Trudeau ??? Europe stands with Canada ??

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

It is a shame that Justin Trudeau has resigned as Canada's Prime Minister. His decency and leadership contrasts enormously with trump and is what Canada, and the world needs these days. I stand with Canada. Thak you Mr. Trudeau.

Trudeau is so handsome and smart and good. I wish he was our leader here in the US. Can you come here and help us, please? We need help. I understand why you have to fight back against Trump. I can't stand Trump and what he and our government is doing but I don't know how to stop it. I sure didn't vote for him. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for all of your great work and commitment and governance. I stand with Canada.

Mr. Trudeau mentions there's no drug problem, how can you say this. Fentanyl has been coming through your boarders. This Must stop. Your Ally who offers security for Canada should be respected . Our citizen's are dyeing. I stand with Our President and his Administration. Canada we love you , but enough is enough .

Thank you Mr. Trudeau I personally stand with progress.\n And Donald Trump is not progress.\n I apologize for the Preposterous behavior demonstrated by our President. To President zelinski. I also apologize for Trump. And I cannot wait until he is removed. We must do it legally and democratically. As far as our allies, Canada and Mexico.\nIt is my opinion donald trump is entering dementiand it's not fit for office

Mr Trudeau, thank you for your excellent clear and concise speech. You hit all the points. Thanks for standing up for Canada and the Free World. Please remember our Ukrainian friends...

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I'm in Montana and I stand with Canada! Thank you Mr. Trudeau and know that the vast majority of American's are on your side.
