Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call to stop blindly following the US foreign policy and understand something about injustice. Free free ??

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

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 hope NO ONE backs down to tweedle dumbdumb and his band of misfit dipshidiots.

I hope your watching MAGA. You brought this on by believing a pathological liar. You're not smart enough to think on your own. MAGA you own this.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

I hope Trump raises the tariffs to 100% and watch Canadians economy fail because they rely mainly on American

I am an American standing with Ukraine and Canada if anyone can stop this War it will be Canada and Ukraine and many other Countries standing up for Ukraine we have alot of bullies in our Country the USA especially Trump and I hope it all comes back and bites him in the ass and he goes down real hard he is a number 1 Moran

Good job Justin. I hope every one follow him to impreach Trump

California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

American here,in full support of President Trump. Someone needs to be the bad guy and fix the globalist corruption. I personally never listen to or watch CNN. Canada is in a economic and cultural downfall for a reason. I have never supported Castros Bastard son, Trudeau. I love real Canadians and believe Canada would be much better as a US Territory/ State and hope they get rid of this weak little boy.

HAHAHAHAHA\nwhat a complete moron. complete, fuggin, idiot. i can at least thank trump for the long overdue stock market correction and hopefully interest level maintainance? although its by accident ill take what i can get from these tards.

The USA is officially the stupidest country on record. Donald Trump is dumber than d***hit. All his cabinet picks are crazier than he is and half are just criminals. Trump and Musk are criminals. Pam Bionde dropoed charges against Trump for a measly $5000.00 campaign donation. Little Marco Rubio only agrees with any stupid thing Leon Musk wants. I hope your men have mastered your new German tanks PM Trudeau. I am against any war Drumpf could think of. We need to go to Ukraine and talk to Putin tank to tank. Putin is a tiresome little man. Why do you think Trump fears him so much? Find the answer to that question. Thanks PM Trudeau. No thanks to any GOP pig in the USA.

As an American, from Chile ?? because it is a continent and not a country ( the arrogance and ignorance is tiring) I hope they leave USA and buy stuff over here ?❤ Abrazos a nuestros hermanos Mexicanos

I hope that Americans will fight for our country, the U.S. We are losing our democracy at a rapid rate, thanks to Trump and Project 2025.

wow im impressed with my prime minister Justin Trudeau, he killed it mic drop moment on Donald, spoke to the american people the canadian people and launched his counter attack. I hope Donald soon realizes his mistake.

The Republicans have betrayed more than our old friends and allies with this astonishing attack on Canada, coming on the heels of Trump's performative assault on Ukrainian sovereignty. They've betrayed our constitutional republic, common sense, simple human decency, our core institutions, our people. The best of what we have ever been or hoped to be as a nation has been jettisoned to privilege the worst, including the South African billionaire who is currently dismantling Social Security, and the Russian tyrant who has hungered for years to kill NATO and the Western alliance, an outcome the Republicans are now handing him on a silver platter.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. The strategy is to destabilize the country, in the hopes of creating a desperate public that will somehow either elect a pro MAGA government or allow the US to march in and establish a kleptocracy.

I find this speech has caused me to re-evaluate Justine Trudeau - he has become the statesman we always hoped he could be and he stated clearly Canada will retaliate for this incomprehensible attack on the greatest trading partner the US has.

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

Elbows up! As a border living American, Canada has my fullest support and respect. 50% of my lifelong vacations have been spent in the great white north. I hope to go to Toronto in April. If my cuntry doesn’t ef it up. ❤

So sad it’s come to this, I hope the American voters see what they’ve done

I have no problem with a tariff to China or Mexico, neither is an ally.\nEspecially corrupt Mexico run by cartels .\nGenerally I back Trump - BUT Canada is a special neighbor/partner.\nThis is not good.\nI hope Trump reconsiders.

From Washington state, I applaud your strong stand against Trump and his administration who do NOT represent a large portion of the United States, including me!! l love Canada and hope you remain strong in your stance against Trump!!!

I’d forgotten what it looks like to see a competent, compassionate and composed politician address a nation. I hope Canadians don’t take for granted that their leaders seem to actually have their backs. Our government doesn’t give a shit about us here in the states.

What we are all experiencing right now is unbearable. Canada is a role model and it is good to hear this speech. I hope that not all Americans are enthusiastic about their president's machinations and will publicly show their protest on the streets.

I hope that Man Dump NEVER Gets the Nobel Peace Prize.He is not worthy of it.

Pretty sure I saw a video somewhere on youtube where Trump or Elon stated they wanted to crash the market (this was prior to the election). We're headed in that direction. Hope people have been going to cash and taking profits.

I'm a American and don't like how our government is playing. I support Canada and Ukraine and Mexico. Prime Minister Justine Trudeau spoke very clear, it was good to listen to him. I hope my people will listen too.

??? beautiful effort in distinguishing between a government and its people... I just hope the american people can see once and for all that that guy there is not worth the chair he's sitting on.

Mon cœur est plein d’espoir pour la Paix…\nI love Canada. So courageous and talent those people are, they havé a very good gvt.\nSoon I Will be there to discover this country.\nThe futur freedom with a powerfull economy, I Hope to finish my profesional Life there.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I hope they know not all of us on the USA is backing Trump!!!

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

Mr Trudeau you are a great leader and unfortunately our country is totally F@$%@D because of one me who is a total Idiot and is destroying the country and I agree with you ?% that Putin is a lying corrupt thug Dictator who needs to be Stopped at all cost and I also believe he has to have sumthing hanging over Trump's head i honestly can't believe he is thst stupid anyways i hope you have woken up the American people and our senate and congress they need to impeach Trump ASAP and have his side kick JD Vance resign before they cuase even more damage you are a true gentleman who Mr Trump should learn a thing or 2 from God bless our Country ?

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

EXACTLY - Little donnie and t.j. are steering our country down a road of upside down, dangerously insane decisions... I hope Canada teaches don a lesson that this isn't how to treat your friends....

Donald youve just givin up on your friends here in Canada and likely the EU after their tarifs come in April. I hope your alliance with Putin is worth it because if you keep going on like this, he'll be your only friend

I hope here in Australia our leaders take a cue from Trudeau and don't start kowtowing to Trump. Hopefully Trudeau has the effect of emboldening other nations' leaders in their dealings with Trump and his cronies.

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.

Thank you General Clark.....but I am hopeful that this IS going to end well. We are going to get rid of Trump once and for all.

So many of us did not vote for Trump or agree with his tactics. The election was stolen. Hopefully this will come out soon and end this madness.

I hope this leads to the downfall of the United States. For 100 years it has bullied the planet and -- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The world is tired.

California here... but my Mom was Canadian and never gave up her citizenship.. wearing my Canada sweatshirt today in solidarity. I hope Canada knows how many Americans are with them and how much we hate what's going on in our country. For the first time in in my life I am deeply ashamed to be an American.

The perfect victim—never accountable for anything. Hopefully, the Canadian people will get rid of this clown, just like you all should with CNN.

Dear Canada with love from your other neighbor Greenland/Denmark,\n\nWe stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and from my Danish perspective you are a more European country than a country in North America and I hope to see the Canadian flag, together with our Danish. in Brussels at the EU headquarters where you mediate into our common European family EU ...\n\nDear Canada you are just as naturally an EU country as Germany and France and my Denmark is,

Thank you, Canada. Well spoken, I hope your words get through
