I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

Getting tired of Trudeau and Trump speaking for both countries and the citizens of both countries.\nWhile World leaders fight for power the ordinary citizens of both countries suffer the consequences of their actions.\nIf Trudeau really cared about Canadians he could start by eliminating the Carbon Tax.

The citizens of USA voted for this, unfortunately.

While donal leaves the citizens of the united states of America stranded, Canada declared to stand with hers ❤?

I think this “in your face” publicly addressing Donald looks good. Canada should fast track citizenship for US Citizens wishing to immigrate: prioritize and target talented and skilled US citizens and make it a very public announcement, like this.

Can Trump be removed NOW from power and have a referendum and re-do of the election? There should be some sort of return policy just as in business. Maga Americas have realized now I hope that what they voted for is the destruction of our country and it's citizens. Let's draw straws and have a popular vote on candidates of all parties and solve this calamity.

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

Dear Canadians, the American citizens not want this. We love you guys as our biggest ally and partner. Everything you are saying is correct. Please stand up to these bullies and keep fighting for what is right! Apologies from the u.s. citizens!

Trump does not speak for all USA citizens. Many of we Americans also want to be friends and allies and are totally against the Trump policies. Remember, he only won the election by 1.47% of voters with 89.2 million eligible (unbelievable) voters not bothering to voting. USA is worth fighting for!

Justin Trudeau is correct citizens this is what the Trump administration has brought upon the US citizens their disgraceful to America and to the American citizens that represent this great nation and Trump and Vance have turned it around to hurt the people in the United States

Talking to all the conservative US citizens; THIS is a great leader that puts his people first. Sadly, you voted for the opposite.

Canadians do not like Trudeau, he’s increased his citizens inflation with Rules, regulations, communism at core.

To the Canadian people, this US citizen is embarrassed and sad.

Most of us know not to believe what Trump says about these tariffs (or anything else). He is a scourge to the world. As a US citizen am beyond disgusted that he was able to gain enough votes.?

For all those who voted for Trump....yes all these tariffs mean harm to the American citizens in rising costs that we will not be able to afford, as we are already struggling......listen to Canada speech to us.....

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Shame you didn't support your citizens during other recent events!

Is this realy what the majority of us citizens want?

Every single country has huge tariffs against our country. All Trump wants is for them to pay us the same we pay them. Why any taxpayer would be upset is against it is beyond me. Course Trudeau just said he was going to sacrifice his citizens in a forever war that is already lost. Thank God Trump will protect our citizens and just wants a even playing field. Canada has gotten away with robbing us long enough.

As a dual citizen, this makes me sad hearted, for both my homes.\nsitting here in Washington State, I love you, my fellow Canadians!

I am a USA citizen, and I support Canada, and I hope your government stands strong against our dictator. It's about time that someone puts Trump in his place. And if he continues to trash Mexico, we will stand with her as well. There are many Americans who think our current President is a menace to the world. He is greedy, arrogant and filled with pride. God Bless Canada!!

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

As an American citizen (sadly) i apologize for the baboon-fest in our whitehouse. the monkeys took over because of the mentally instable voters and vote-buying scammers who brought this on. MOST of us did not vote for this tragedy. but now we must attempt to survive this. not even God can help us!

I feel exactly the same way that woman feels standing behind Justin Trudeau. Coming from a dual citizen of America and Canada ??

Now, this is Leadership. Applause to you and your citizens. Not a clown show, circus or buffoonery.

Crazy. Goverment use Tarif to tax their own citizens and blame it on the other side. Who has a advantage of this ? Of course, the goverment !

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

52% of deceived Americans chose this madman and his golf friends who, without professionalism and experience began to govern a country that will definitely roll into the abyss. Citizens of the USA, come to your senses and do not let this great country fall apart.

An oregonian here. I want to be part of Canada. So embarrassed to say I'm a citizen of this choas?

Trump is provoking Canada into cutting energy supplies to the northern states, to set US citizens against Canada, as a prelude to an attempt to annex Canada. This could be explained if Trump has been talking to Putin and colluded on a plan to divide the world between them. This would also explain his insane plan to annex Gaza, as an excuse to react to the inevitable violence that would attract on its 'American' territory. Taking Greenland would be next, while Putin moves into Europe. Well done, American voters...you've killed us all.

Mr. Trudeau, like Mr. Zelinsky are strong caring smart men who are showing us as citizens of The United States what a weak dangerous bully narcissistic leadership we have! This will hurt us not only with buying things, but alienating our country when there is a time of great need, like an, God forbid, attack!..People....WAKE UP before it's too late! Do you think putin isn't waiting for our country to become vulnerable??? so he can turn on us too!! WAKE UP

I’m an American . I think your dude needs to slow his roll. I don’t think we need Canada and we don’t want to support anyone who would close his citizens bank accounts because they don’t like what they support. Remember that !?

@Tradeau, Stop lecturing us about tariffs and threatening Americans. Your country has high taxes, and before it affects Americans, Canadian citizens will feel the consequences more. Additionally, stop pushing illegal immigrants and fentanyl across the US border. You call it a trade war, but we Americans call it a fair deal. You were well informed about the consequence but you never got serious about the warning. Canada must check strictly shipments from Mexico and China.

We the Canadian people are speaking with our wallets. We are boycotting anything Made in USA. It has already cost millions in lost tourism revenue for many states. Our governments didn't start the boycott. We the citizens of Canada started it.

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

?Trudeau is a bad joke and worse, a liar. Trump demands secure borders to protect our citizens. Trump is establishing RECIPROCAL tariffs to improve our economy in a fair and just manner. Trudeau says Canada is “polite,” but the hockey game between us proved otherwise. Canada is a neighbor we can live without. \nHopefully Canada will return to sanity, common sense and decency under new leadership and we can resume previously held good relations with our Northern neighbors.

The voters of Trump, have decided they would prefer a nation run by two dictators Putin and Trump. Make no doubt about it. They will crush this nation and steal all the treasury money and use it for their own personal gain. And at the same time, distroy all the citizens lives, including the voters of Trump, in the meantime.

It’s frustrating not to be able to hear the Prime Minister in the entirety of his speech. Americans need to see what a real leader sounds like : articulate, sincere, concerned for the citizens of both countries.

I'm from Michigan and I'm standing with Canada,Bonespurs is the most dangerous insurrectionist racist sociopath corrupt unpatriotic person in America history when can my family become a citizen this country is too evil

I am an American citizen and did not vote for Donald Trump. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. I did not vote for a madman to take down my beloved country!

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

Ya”ll should’ve actually do something with the surplus of money you get every year from American citizens. While we over here can’t truly afford anything, every other country is getting richer, well it stops now.

And from me to you as an American citizen we are tired of people taking advantage of us..

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?

I am a U S citizen that stands for Canada. U S leadership is disgraceful. It is not leadership, it is only about money and power for him

Trudeau you where already voted out. Why are you still around ?Your own country doesnt want you but here you still are behind the podium making decisions. You are woke and destroyed the freedoms of the Canadian citizens.

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

(from an American citizen) why can't he be OUR president????

As a UK citizen,I am appalled at the voters that put this tyrant who is more aligned with Russia than his allies. Regardless MAGA won't care . They are blind to him. I despise trump

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…
