I've always respected Canada as a intelligent, polite but tough as nails country. I have not and will not forget how you helped liberate my grandparents by spearheading into their German-occupied country and for providing refuge for their royal family. I can only hope that the special relations between Canada and the EU will become warmer instead of colder like the direction that has been chosen by the US.

I love Canada. Canada will always be our ally, but there appears to be some “one sided-ness”. I believe the biggest issue being drugs coming across our border. \nAs someone who lives on the border, we see many Canadian cars coming to the US to shop. They even wear clothes that they throw away in dumpsters so they can wear their new clothes back to Canada without having to pay tax. \nI wish they wld accommodate to our requests.\n\nP.S. I love the idea of becoming one nation. I wld love to join as one nation. Nothing forced, I just love the idea. God bless both our countries.\nWe’ll get through this.

Please don’t pay put traffics on Canada! I can’t stand Trump!

Well done Canada ??❤️??

Trudeau is the biggest crook, he is getting richer every day as the WEF puppet that he is and he hates Canada. This sob is increasing carbon tax on April 1st more and Canada is way too stupid to see through his lies.

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

I don't get why anyone would want to leave Canada, to go There? thats like leaving the Shire to go into bloody Mordor

Time to move to Canada

The world is with Canada, thank you to allies uniting across the globe to combat the facist orange potato to the south!

I'm with Canada and mexiy

Anti americanism? Seriously? I'm a US citizen and it's blatantly clear that this is the work of DJT and the Republican party. This isn't on Canada. CNN, you are pathetic

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!

Go nuts Canada. Take all US products off your shelves. Fight back. From an American deeply EMBARRASED BY TRUMP.

Canada ? Europe

Canada (and many other countries) spent decades supporting the maintenance of US hegemony. Look what it got us? To a position where we're pretty much greatly dependent on, and at the mercy of the US. We need to invest more in our own country and make our own products. We should also trade with other countries regardless of what the US thinks of those countries. Trump wants Canada to put tariffs on China in the attempt to further impede that country's economic growth so the US will remain the economic hegemony. Never mind that a trade war with China would put Canada in an even worse position. Given the current events, I say we trade with China even more!

One more American supporting our friend CANADA. Hate Trump, not ordinary Americans he does not represent. ????

A neurologist should thoroughly examine Trump's brain, as I strongly suspect the presence of significant anomalies. It is conceivable that some of these could be addressed through medical intervention. However, in his current state, his cognitive and behavioral responses appear untenable. It would be prudent to declare him temporarily unfit for decision-making until his condition improves. Wishing him a swift and full recovery!\n\nPeople of Canada, we in Germany hold you in high regard and stand with you. Stay strong—we will support you ❤

I'm an American and I applaud your honest, grounded and to the point speech. What I'd like to hear from this side of the boarder. Stay strong Canada.

Tit for tat policy of Canada is a sign of courage.

I voted for this and Canada is crying they don't have the tax payer teet anymore and guess what, now you can figure it out for yourselves.

Terrific are ok for Canada, but not for the US? So, one-sided. Time to step up.

Elbows up Canada.. Americans don't want this. It is Trump and MAGA morons

Well spoken amazing president ???respekt from us Europeans ?? to you Canada ?? and Canadians ??????✊️?

I am so sorry Canada one of our closest allies this orange dictator that we have over here is a threat to all of us

Why Canada, Mexico, or any other country in the world doesn’t have the problem of drugs except United States of America. Why is that.? Think about it, we are the consumer and want to Party Up like there is no tomorrow. So Donald trump get your S.H.I.# in gear and clean up your mess first before you point fingers.

Honestly, I can totally understand the actions of Trump and JD in their last interview with Zelensky but these tariffs against Mexico and Canada is something I don't get it all! Trump should be getting as many allies as possible in such trouble times.

Wow! That was an incredible speech by Trudeau. Articulate, measured and moving. Go Canada!

Trump for USA ?? not for Canada

No one in U.S respects Trudeau the same way most in Canada don’t. He’s just known as being an a horrible politician hear. I’ve never met one person Canadian who actually likes this guy

As a US citizen this breaks my heart so much and at the same time am so glad he is standing up for Canada\nTRUMP IS A ZERO

Love you, Canada. The US people are always your friends. This is beyond absurd.

Canada has called Trump’s bluff!

I'm an American citizen here from Detroit. And I stand with you, Canada.

Nobody needs canada ?

Go Canada

One of the best political statements I have ever heard. As a European/Swedish citizen, we are all behind the great people of Canada

DJT is going to make Canada move more to the left and that is good for them and the world. You go Canada!!

I share in Canada’s pain too!! We all need to buckle up and do this together, unfortunately because Rump wants to be a king that nobody wants. Disgusting ? man.

President of Canada just called ? a dummy ??

Australia will not purchase USA goods. We will support Canada.

Californian here, thank you Canada! We stand behind you.❤

I'm a never trumper American. I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? and all our allies. I am sick about djt & his actions. ????

Do not buy esso gas in canada. ESSO IS AMERICAN.

I stand with Canada, as long as trump and his disgusting government pollutes the Whitehouse, America doesn’t exist. trump needs to go to Russia to be with his boycrush??????

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up against the evil President that we Americans are stuck with. Love to Canada from an old man in Arizona.

Watching this speech, makes me so envious of Canada. Such a thoughtful and well prepared speech by an honorable leader.

Help us get the orange Hitler removed from office. We stand with Canada.

I am proud of Canada and ashamed of trumpism as a 76 year old american.

I’ve never met one single Canadian that I didn’t find kind and respectful. Canada, I am embarrassed of our government’s actions and I stand with you!??

Canada. Please keep in mind that we are in a new age of media and rational Americans have been duped by really bad information. Take care of yourselves, but remember that this is a dark time for the USA at home too.
