Mr Trudeau, \nHere in the US we have an unstable President who is tearing down our democracy. I support Canada - He (Donald) is not a smart person …

Bravo Canada ?? Mexico ?? and Ukraine ?? for standing strong against wanna be dictators.

Bravo Canada and I’m sorry our so called President and his minions are so very ignorant.

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

As an American, I respect Canada as a friend and neighbor. I stand with Canada and not the crybaby in the white house. Trump and his administration needs to be removed from office immediately. Trump voters are about to be in the find out phase.... Do you think they will storm the White House again? Something has to change... How can no one stand up to Trump...

I do not blame Canada one bit for coming back at Donald Trump. He deserves whatever Canada puts up on him.

This is not going to end well for Canada as 70% of their exports go to the United States. Canada is about to lose their biggest customer real quick.

Mexico has already proposed their response! Go, Canada and Mexico!

Justin Trudeau's drug policies in Canada have been a disaster and now he pretends he is concerned about Fentanyl [a member of the class of drugs known as fentanyls, rapid-acting opioid (synthetic opiate) drugs that alleviate pain without causing loss of consciousness (analgesic). Fentanyl depresses central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory function. Exposure to fentanyl may be fatal.] going into the United States. He is a lame-duck Prime Minister on his way out of political life let alone public office as Prime Minister of Canada. His poll numbers were miserable and he was not supported within many in his own cabinet because of his divsisive decisions with Alberta, female MPs and hypocritical and harmful actions and words as well as broken promises to the Canadian Tax payers.

Half of our voters chose to do this to us. Everyone still happy with your vote if you voted Trump? \n\nI’m sorry Canada. ?‍???

This guy is an idiot. He doesn’t understand tariffs, or he does, and wants to hurt Canada more. This is revenge toward Canada bc he was fired as prime minister

I don't know much about this guy. But why is he unpopular in Canada to the point that he resigned from office ? He looks and sounds so smart and he is working damn well for his country. I love him !

Go Canada, let him have it. Know that most Americans don’t support his actions. More than half of us DID NOT vote for him, and those that did likely had no idea what tariffs were or certainly didn’t understand how they work. Though I didn’t vote for him, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry to the entire world for the horrible decision so many people in my country have made.

Long live Canada ??

America now has an illiterate, severerly nearsighted, reactionary, child- like buffoon as President. Apologies to Canada, I wish we had a President like Trudeau.

Im English, what a fantastic understandable speech. Trump has gone mad, a lot of people will start turning against him, especially him siding with putin the murderous dictator in modern times. All people in power should stand united in a crazy world. Well done canada and their superb leader.

We know Canada, we know world. There are just millions of stupid people in the US and I don't see that changing, unfortunately.

Canada and other countries had there opportunity to make trade fair with America. They have not complied. Now they are suffering the consequences. Trump will win. I believe America still has a backbone even though cnn watchers don’t.

When I think that not so long ago Canada came to the rescue when California was on fire…

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

Love to Canada from down in Texas. We don’t want this either

Please, Prime Minister, don't go away. Our Canada has been drowning for the last nine years.??????

??????????❤ Europe, Ukraine, Canada, Australia & New Zealand ??

Canada is closer to becoming the 51st state than winning this trade war.

Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

Go Canada! Let's all unite to keep our country.

I apologize, Canada! I didn't vote for him, and I damn sure don't like what he's doing!\n\nDo what you need to do to protect yourself! I'm a US citizen, but I fully support you!

American and Texan here and I support Canada 100% — Trump, Vance and all the MAGAtts that still support them are pieces of shit. We are broken but we will “correct” this

We love you Canada we're sorry about Trump he's a piece of s*** and most of us are against him we think that Elan paid for Trump to be able to win

LOL. NOT A BLISTERING SPEACH. EXAGERATED. CANADA NEEDS TO PAY UP. USA WILL CONTINUE CANADA IN THE NEXT 8-10 months

I'm African American. Will I be welcomed in Canada?

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

Love Canada

It's funny how Canada is so protective of US citizens coming into Canada but...

Je suis très fier de Justin Trudeau et du Canada aujourd'hui!

Well Canada more free today then USA today...\nBelieve me. What we see in republican party today I saw before.2001 2003 russia. putins political party. It's mirror now in USA

Why didn’t the USA just ASK Canada to remove their tariffs instead of just putting the reciprocal tariffs in place? Or Canada could just remove their 10% tariffs when the USA implemented theirs on condition the we remove ours immediately?

Wow, that idiot Trudeau expects to export Canadian products to our country free of charge, and now he's raising tariffs on American products that are exported to Canada because he's not getting a free ride anymore. A moron runs the Canadian government.

All love and respect to Canada from Europe!

Canada! ?? ?❤

Europe is with Canada

I am so ashamed that our tyrant in chief has done this to the people of a country I love to visit. Stand strong Canada. Please call a lie a lie.

A gentleman with manners speaks for Canada ??

Is it too late to move to Canada?!

Loving communists and hating Canada is the most un-American stuff ever

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.

Baltimore Stands With Everyone, Except President Tramp And Putang. Baltimore Stands With Canada. Slava Ukraine ??

HE is a fucking clown. And it's his fault we are in this mess. Been destroying Canada since he took office in 2015.

What a speech! ??What a delight to hear an experienced, intelligent and eloquent Prime minister speak!?! Does this information reach the Americans? Republicans? MAGA? Do they understand this? Oh dear, what a mess! We stand with Canada, Mexico and of course: UKRAINE!! Greetings from Germany.
