I live in the best country in the world and I have the best Prime Minister in the world. I couldn’t be more proud of Justin Trudeau. We will fight and we will come together. That’s what Canadians do.

Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am an American and I am so proud of you. I support everything you say.

Proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a wanna be dictator & a criminally insane evil devil! ?

Proud of you Justin Trudeau!

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

I'm so proud of The Honorable Justin Trudeau, WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE...I love you brothers and sisters in America, but I'm sorry your Donald is just A PUNK a failure to you ALL

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

I am so proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up and speaking up like many of us here wish our president could and would

I am proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! Please do not bach down from the bully.

So very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

What a brilliant presentation from the smart, civilized, reasonable, well raised, highly educated and well behaved and polite statesman, Justin Trudeau. Canadians have to be very proud.

Proud of you Justin Trudeau . ❤️??

Well done Justin Trudeau, we're proud of you. You said it with firm voice and with determination. You are one son of the soil, unlike weak and wavering Pollivere and Danielle Smith.\nWe still want you to be our PM.

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??so proud of our leader ??????

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You make me very proud to be a Canadian! True North Strong and Free! ❤??\nAs well, thank you Americans and people around the world for supporting Canada. Bless you all!

Ive never been more proud of PM Justin Trudeau!!!!

VERY PROUD TO BE CANADIAN WITH THIS PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU STAND FOR CANADIANS !!!!

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

I rarely speak...yet I should have been there before this happened and voted in the favor of Justin Trudeau. Shocked by fellow people claiming his behavior. But I see he stepped out on his own to own it. I'm a very proud Scientologist and believe in you. I believe in Mr Hubbard yet no one has seen the world to freedom as Trudeau is. All else are speculation and worry of doubt and incapable abilities that help no one. Huh.

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

I always respect and love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because he’s a great person!!! I’m so proud of you for what you did for your country!!!

I am a proud to be a Canadian! I have not bought anything American since this crap has started. Justin Trudeau, you have really stepped up to the plate! Well done! You have proved you do love Canada, unconditionally! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??????????????

I am a proud Canadian of Justin Trudeau ! The speech is direct, says what is to be said with absolute no ambiguity ! Buy Canadian from now on Donald !

Love this look and confidence from Justin Trudeau ! I am sad to see you leave your title of Prime minister. We could use alot of good speech like the ones you are giving us lately. Speeches that makes us proud to be Canadians . Love and support from Montreal xox.

As a United States ?? citizen living in Canada ?? “I’m proud of you ?? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

This is who we are! So proud to be Canadian! Tres fiere etre Canadien! Bravo Justin Trudeau!??

Proud of Justin Trudeau of saying what needs to be said. As an American, I'm embarrassed by the way our government is behaving. This needs to stop! This bullying and chest puffery is only going to be our demise.

As a Canadian, I voted against Trudeau and strongly dislike the liberal party, but this speech was articulate and highly effective it may be extremely proud well done Justin Trudeau

I am proud of our little brother Canada standing UP!! In no way do I believe that Justin Trudeau thinks Trump is a smart man. Go Canada. You STAND UP on that side and we'll STAND UP in here!!

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

Good for you Justin Trudeau, your Father (a great Canadian), would be proud of you. Now, get together with the Premiers and map out how Canada can overcome this attack and come out stronger on the other side.

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

❤❤❤ I tried to like all the comments from our wonderful USA neighbors and supporters from around the world ? Canadians love you too !!!! Sorry we have too protect our sovereignty ❤❤❤ I am proud of my Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ? ❤ speech

Feeling very proud of Justin Trudeau.

Thank you Justin, Prime Minister Trudeau. No, you haven’t been a perfect Prime Minister, but in this moment I’m very proud of you. Merci Justin, Premier ministre Trudeau. Non, vous n’avez pas été un Premier ministre parfait, mais en ce moment, je suis très fier de vous. ??

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

Proud of our Canadian cousins for standing up for themselves & against the crazyness of that lunatic dictator! Well defended by PM Justin Trudeau. Love & Support from France.

We are proud Canadian, and we are proud of our PM Justin Trudeau, who demonstrates strength.

I'm so proud of our PM, Justin Trudeau. This is how a true leader speaks. ☮???

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

Proud Canadian and very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau...America as a country your doomed for a DEAD END with your current leadership.

I am an American, but my Ancestors were French Canadians who immigrated to Montpelier, Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Your support in wanting the best for both of our countries makes me so proud of my roots. Charlie Angus as well as Justin Trudeau have integrity and are willing and able to fight for what is right. Please know you are a highly respected nation by most of the people in this country. I have always been so proud of my country, but am now so embarrassed and deeply troubled. Please pray for your neighbors and the democracy of our Republic. I am related to Louis Cyr, Canadian Strongman. Don't give up on us. God be with both of our nations!

That makes Donald Trump the dumbest person to ever occupy the Oval office in history. What a shame!!!! I am proud of Justin Trudeau.

As a Canadian, love or hate Justin Trudeau (I don't even like him as a centre left person), this may be one of his best speeches. Proud to be Canadian and happy to see support from our friends across the border! ??

Well done Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm proud of you. I just want to say that this is not new. Justin Trudeau has always stood up to Trump. It's heartwarming to see so many other countries following suit.

I know that Canadian have complained about Justin Trudeau over the years, but his recent leadership in regard to Ukraine & Europe has been stellar and undoubtedly his response to Trump is something TO BE ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF! This is not the time to rock the boat globally, as Trump is doing
