I would like to thank all the kind words from all over the world I see here. We as Canadians really appreciate it. It's going to be a tough time ahead for this country, but if no one else will stand up to Trump, we will.

I did not vote for Trump. I am ashamed that I get put into the rest of the idiots group that voted for him. I stand with Canada.

We will stand by Canada all the way and will kick the stupid Trump and Vance out quickly.

I am an American and I stand with Canada and every other nation being harassed and bullied by the Trump!

I would add the well being of the WORLD depends on what Canada and others do to stand up to Trump's bullying.

U.S Army veteran I stand with Canada. I will never bow down to Russia like trump has.

The U.S “leaders” are choosing the wrong side of history here. The world is ready to stand up to them. Americans should be very worried about the global position Trump is putting them in.

Canada stand strong. Do trade with Ukraine. F**k Trump!

I’m still lost at how Trump supporters rationalize this mess… like for the self proclaimed “patriots” they really know how to spit on the constitution, the sacrifices of our ancestors during the revolution all the way through the Cold War. Trump is literally alienating us in 4k from allies and slipping into Russia’s pocket. Because he wants to be a dictator, and doesn’t give a damn about America or what it stands for. His family hasn’t even been here very long in all honesty, maybe that’s why he’ll sell us out to Russia. Saying otherwise means you live in a land of delusion where facts don’t exist. FYI, ignorance won’t save anyone

Thank you Mr. Trudeau I personally stand with progress.\n And Donald Trump is not progress.\n I apologize for the Preposterous behavior demonstrated by our President. To President zelinski. I also apologize for Trump. And I cannot wait until he is removed. We must do it legally and democratically. As far as our allies, Canada and Mexico.\nIt is my opinion donald trump is entering dementiand it's not fit for office

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

From Minnesota Iam standing with you Canada!! Trump does things impulsively Prayers, are needed.

Thank you, Canada Prime Minister. This is a sad day for all of us. \nBut someone has to stand up to Trump, who is a bully, racist, Bigot, Natzi.

As Americans we stand with you Canada take Trump down.

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

I stand with Trump ❤

From America and I’m sorry my fellow citizens elected this asshole trump!!! I stand with Canada !!

Thank You Mr. Trudeau, for standing up for Democracy and the standing up to the baffon Trump,

Let Trump and his MAGA morons rot in hell! We in Europe stand with Canada ! Why not join up in a EU-CAN union !

All this bluster about fentanyl, yet China is the main exporter of these precursor substances - well, they only have 20%. Awesome! The biggest risk now is that the trump administration divides and conquers - the free world needs to stand together against the US. Yes, it's strange to say, but that's the reality we live in. The earlier we wake up, the better.

Being an American I am behind Canada and feel these Tariffs are uncalled for and will do nothing to help our ever growing Inflation! It is Trump, and the problem is the rest of our Government (Congress and Judiciary) are spineless and won't stand against him. Trump is not doing anything for us but HURT us. I call for Trump's IMPEACHMENT and taken out of Office!!

Excellent speech!! Proud to be Canadian ... a citizen of a country who truly respects humanity and world peace.?? I lived in the U.S. for two decades and know first-hand that many wonderful Americans do not share the disrespectful and dangerous rhetoric of Donald Trump and gang. We are better together than divided!! Stand up! Speak up! ❤️????❤

Prime Minister Trudeau, please don't lump the people of the US. with trump or maga, most of the people are against everything trump and maga do, and thank you for standing up to that pompous ass.

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

CANADIANS HAVE TO BE STRONG AND STAND TOGETHER..THIS IS AN ACT OVE WAR AGAINST OUR COUNTRY OUR WAY OVE LIVES AND FREEDOM..IT WILL GET WORST TRUMP IS A DICTATOR AND DANGEROUS. NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER CANADA STRONG ????????????

Retired south Florida resident who voted against Trump and cohorts. I stand with Canada ??❤ and every country who is supporting Ukraine ?? and President Zelenskyy.

This is what a national leader sounds like, not the illiterate, corrupt Russian-agent Trump, who is undermining our country because too many Americans can’t stand to have a woman in charge, so they elected a clown and his pet Elon to destroy America from within

Starting a trade war with our trusted allies is an extremely stupid idea... But does Trump and his associates ever have a good idea?? I am glad Canada is standing up for what is correct!! Hearing Trudeau speak in the language of FACTS, LOGIC, and REASON is SO REFRESHING!!!! Go Trudeau!!!

I am from Texas and I stand with Canada. thank you for not allow Trump to bully you. someone needs to stand up to him since his own party will not.

I live in the Uk and I still find it difficult to believe these republican senators are going to stand by and let Donald Trump ruin the America economy. And it’s sick that some of these stupid country booky Americans are siding with him. Just sick. The Democratic Party needs to stand up and be counted.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

Mr. Trudeau, I apologize for our imbecile president & government. I for one stand with you. Trump sold our country. ??

As an American, trump can't even wipe President Trudeau ?! As an American I stand ONLY with Canada!

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

I agree with everything PM JT said, except one thing: Trump is not a smart man (even by Florida standards).\n\nWe as Europeans should stand by our Canuck friends like they have stood with us! Sign a free trade agreement with Canada! They are steadfast, reliable, fierce friends. Uncle Sam clearly has brain rot.

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

American people stand with TRUMP and Trudeau CONSPIRACY AGAINST AMERICA AGAINST TRUMP REGIME

? Canadian and i supported Trump then Kamla Harris and now i regret not a Smart move of Trump this will Hurt people both sides of the Border Canada will stand it's Ground and will take its Businesses to other part of the World ? Sad to see this Happened.

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

American born, live in the USA and stand with Canada. President Trump is not my president. ?I am on disability.

It is really hard to believe that Trump isn't a russian asset, considering that he constantly goes after his own people, country and allies.... He is going after everyone who is standing in the way of Russia and (American) oligarchs (FBI, nuclear weapons etc.), ignoring all existing laws

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

Much support to Canada. I hope our president also stands up against racist imperialist Trump. We know that Donald does not represent the majority of American. Let's stand together against Donald and his billionaire friends ??????

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

From Germany: We stand with Canada. I hope Canada and Europe together can do enough against the madness of Trump and his buddys.

As an American, I don’t understand it either. Trump is not my president! I stand with Canada! I don’t recognize my government anymore!

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

The Free and democratic countries must stand together against Putin, Trump and their oligarchs.

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.
