Washingtonian of 64 years here. I stand with you Canada from my blue state. I am so embarrassed right now to be an American. ?

What about the illegal guns coming into Canada from America. Fix that Trump

I think i want to move to Canada, they know how to treat their people. Have to brush up on my French.

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people

I support and stand with Canada!! ??

I used to think that the idea that Trump is a Russian asset was just a conspiracy theory. I am not sure of that now as how else to you explain why Trump is doing everything he can to undermine the USA? Why else would you cause a breech between the US and our allies Canada and Mexico? Why else would he destroy the infrastructure of our country through Musk and Doge? Why else would you stop all aid to Ukraine? Why would you stop cyber operations targeting Russia? Why would he set up an operation to humiliate the leader of an allied country fighting for its life against Russian aggression? Why would you send your vice president to Germany and have him insult our allies and not meet with the leadership of the country but rather meet with the essentially neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany? None of this--and many other actions--makes sense unless you begin to understand that Trump is actively trying to weaken our country to the benefit of the Russians. I know it is hard to believe but I can find no other explanation.

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

So is Canada the new land of the free and home of the brave?\n\nIdiocracy + Perestroika = 47

Trudeau is a very clear communicator. Australia is with you Canada. We're next.

We love Canada

Any American rooting for Canada right now gfy you are traitors

For anyone outside of Canada, don’t be fooled by Trudeau. He resigned right before getting fired. He has completely destroyed the Canadian economy. Parliament is still closed because of his party. He has taxed and silenced Canadians for years. Can’t trust a word a from him when it comes to this drug epidemic when our cities and small towns are flooded with drugs and crime.

Canada is on track to become the next world superpower, so long as Trump doesn't hand the keys to the kingdom to Putin first. The American people do not want this. I pray the people can take back their country before we collapse.

This are Trumps policy that I didn’t vote for shame on Trump I’m with u Canada fight back 1000% times

After hearing his speech-I’d rather go live in Canada- he gave it to everyone straight up and came with respect and honesty like a representative should-trump should’ve took notes.

USA farmers are really going to suffer. Doesnt like 80% of the fertiliser they use not come from Canada.

I do believe i have family by blood in Canada, now I know i have family by moral all over Canada. This may hit you first, it will hit us too. May we stand united against this sorrow. With absolute respect from a scandinavian citizen

I'm an American citizen. trump is not my president . He is a orange boy looking for red dog comminst love. china russian or north korea. Sorry Canada ?? trump musk sucks comminst ass.... I love Canada ??. Thank you for your time and videos.

prime minister justin trudeau is handsome i stand with canada Iam a american

Guess who is happy US, Canada trade war, Russia But US doesn’t know that Putin is nobody’s friend. He will stab US in its back wait and watch.\nCanada will stand strong, united always ❤??

tRump gave the Prime Minister the best gift ever, a war that Canada didn't start but rallies the whole country together against an antagonistic bully. Trudeau will get a 20 point bump in his approval ratings and go out a winner.

I've always loved Canada. Stand firm.

Wonderfully calm speech. One can listen to Trudeau. All the very best to Canada

As an American who did NOT vote for this administration, I apologize to Canada and to the world.

Dear Canada: please know that this orange buffoon does NOT speak for the vast majority of Americans that value truth, integrity and other humans. He shows every day that he cares only about his ego, his personal wealth and his billionaire buddies. Taking the side of dictators is his stock in trade, as we’ve seen numerous times. God help us until we’re rid of Trump and his idiot sycophants!

Trump is the aggressor… what do they expect leaders from the free world to do? Sit there and take it? Go Canada!

Can I move to Canada?

Canada should first implement trudeau. New person should be elected. Then that person should visit the oval office with trump in, then trump must say to that guest you don't have the cards to play, with us only you have the cards ?

I am an American. I hope Canada know all of us did not vote for Trump! I stand with our allies and I stand with Canada!

Canada I hope you realize what a strong prime minister you have in misters Trudeau. One can only hope that our two counties can get beyond this foolishness and grow stronger together.

Nobody needs Canada ?

That Paula Newton lady is framing this like this is Canada's fault, not that the US started this whole situation. Canada is only responding to getting punched in the face by saying they won't let themselves continue to get punched, which is 100% reasonable. Sorry both Americans and Canadians will have to deal with this insanity and the rest of the world will have to deal with the ramifications of Trump's destructive policy.

This is Trump's attempt at a hostile takeover of Canada as if it can be done the same as venture capitalism.

Don’t worrry Canada, The EU and UK are still your friends

American here, trust me, we don't want this either. This administration has done nothing but harm to us. I'll always consider you a friend, Canada.

He can posture and act tough all he wants but Canada will suffer much more than the United States. If you want fairness then make it an equal playing ground between countries. The majority of Americans, not like most of the liberals commenting here support Donald Trump

My deepest and sincerest respect for Trudeau and Canada.?? will go out and buy all the possible maple syrup tomorrow. Keep strong and sending you strength from the Netherlands.

What a speach... ? Trudeau is a living picture of how a head of a civilised country should appear, talk and behave on political, international stage. Congratulations Canada!

From Belgium, Canada, Europeans are happy to have you. Much love

go canada! greetings from austria

Canada deserves better. You arre not alone. European allies & the commonwealth stands with you. Respect to Trudeau to standing up to trump more countries now need to do the same. USA has fallen we need to be united against this emerging threat to peace, a worried Brit.

Canadians may be respectful people ! But , Trudeau is not respected ! Quite simple ! Well done Trump ! Get back to the early days Canada ! Get rid of Trudeau!

I am appalled by the american journalists. The way they both were talking about it is implying that Canada (e.g. we, as I am Canadian) are starting war against them. Justin said it as it is - the war was started by USA. But apparently, if Ukraine could be the aggressor ?(repeated many times over now by the American propagandists), so are we.

President Trump should not rule out nuclear options to respond to this nonsense. Lets see what Canada can do then.

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Through Canada to USA comes tons of drug's, look at Vancouver and Toronto, USA not only gets goods from Canada we get illegal immigrants and drug's. Canada has dirty oil, that USA has to refine to use. Shame both countries can't work together and be strong. Ukraine Zelensky just wants money, don't care about his people, and will cause WWW111 if countries keep giving to him.

Canada ...I'm so sorry. Please know that Trump does not represent the US citizens. It was a crazy moment that got out of control, and now the country is his hostage. Please help us.

As an American, I stand with Canada. Most of us love Canada, and tons of Americans did not want this. Still, too many did because they don’t understand what they’re doing.

Congratulations Canada!!! Trudeau stood on business!! Don't back down!!

This looming tariff squabble between these once-chummy nations needs to hit the discussion table, stat! So, let’s roll out a grand convoy led by Canada’s finest, Terrance and Phillip, to face off with a U.S. special delegation spearheaded by the legendary Eric Cartman. We propose this showdown happens near Niagara Falls, where the mist can douse the heated trade tensions. Canada better 'respect his authoritah,' or the U.S. might just demand a full refund—starting with trade of Mike Myers for Michael Myers!!
