Do you guys all have memory problems. Trudeau been stealing millions of dollars for years and now he’s Mr canada. Trump is the first to stand up to these corrupt bastards ever.

It's laughable to watch Trudeau stand there and try and talk tough since he's usually just a mealy-mouthed spineless loser, but something had to be done and said and at least this time he appears to be standing up for Canada which is a first for him.

I stand by Canada but Trudeau you are trash and can’t wait for you to step down

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

I know that Trudeau is not very popular now, but I've had so much more respect for him in the last few weeks. He'll be gone in a couple of weeks, so the haters can relax. I like how he's standing up to the American wannabe dictator and uniting Canada.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Good to see a world leader stand up to Trump. Its about time. Canadians should be sorry to see Trudeau go at a time when you need a good leader.

I do not blame Canada from reacting one bit. Wish we had someone who stands up for & defends our country like Justin Trudeau does for Canada. dumb donald has put this country in great danger. ??

As a Briton, I would like to say thank you to Mr Trudeau for standing up to the bullies in the White House.\nI will always stand with my Commonwealth brothers in Canada. ??

As an Australian.. I say suck it up Trudeau, you stand for no one but you elitist buddies! You only care about a portion of your country and that's the gullible one's!!!

Yes! Trudeau, I know this is hurting all of us. Thank you for standing against Trump. So proud of you for fighting back. Unfortunately we have to live with this jerk. He has destroyed all of us. He doesn't realize how much it is affecting the rest of the World. God Bless You and the citizens of Canada. I pray this ends soon. Stick to your beliefs. Do your best. I'm sorry to all of you for our greedy dictator. That you have to suffer because of his greediness. Not all of us believe in what he is doing.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

PM Justin Trudeau took the right approach, kindly raised his tone, looked dead serious into the camera, and delivered some great points. Thank you, merci Capitaine. We stand for a united North America and back to peaceful times. A Canadian who stands for Ukraine.

I'm Canadian. I don't stand with how Trudeau is responding to this. All he is doing is causing inflation to Canadians. There is many ways to respond this is not one of them.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American, I sincerely apologize and I'm truly embarrased and ashamed of what my country has done ?. This is a sorrow moment and on behalf of all my American brothers and sister who are just as appalled, we stand with you! Don't forget about us

I must admit that despite my reservations about Mr. Trudeau, I can only stand in solidarity with the statements made here. Politics should not be a matter of ego, trade wars, or personal disagreements, as it is ultimately the people who, unfortunately, remain the eternal victims of these trivial battles. \n\nAs a French citizen, I can therefore only join this fight against political absurdity, which Mr. Trudeau has led here with both tact and courage. This is not a struggle against the American people but a necessary reminder: in war, there are only victims, and as Montesquieu once said, commerce should be driven by the spirit of peace, not by the constant temptation of war.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

I stand with America but I support Ukraine and I support Canada. But these tariffs have got to go. Good speech Trudeau and God help us all.

Proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a wanna be dictator & a criminally insane evil devil! ?

Wasn’t Trudeau supposed to be gone? Canadians can’t stand him.

I came to Canada 45 years ago from Colombia and I love Canada. It gave me opportunities to become a proud citizen without forgetting my roots.\nI stand with Prime Minister Trudeau and we are all proud of him .

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

Please dont stand with canada, canada deserves the 25 percent of tariff, should be more than 25 percent, even 50 percent, trudeau need to go, destroyed my family

When Canada is threatened we stand with Trudeau

Well said PM Trudeau, stand proud Canadian the Commweath is right behind you Rember the Lane Canadia you bested those Mexicans (USA) once you can do it again.

Am I the only one thinking that we had a good PM, and media really manipulated popular opinion as to which he had to stand down? i mean look at what is going on down south, when emotions are allowed to rule? Trudeau wasn't doing anything wrong, he just go chopped for nothing... sad

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

Well done Canada the first but not the last to stand up to the tyrannical Trump administration.\nPrime Minister Trudeau now your team had lead the way I know others will follow.\nYou have my backing and support from Australia.\n????????????

I’m Canadian and can’t stand Trudeau. Turning down that natural gas deal with Japan was a damn disgrace!

This American woman stands with Trudeau

I stand with Canada always. Thank you Mr Trudeau. Please keep up the message. God Bless You.

You wanna work “with” us because you can’t afford our tariffs I stand with President Donald Trump it’s not our job to make sure your economy can thrive that’s is why we are separate countries. Donald Trump knows what he’s doing, sometimes people have to focus on themselves and their own country thriving and not worry about extending a helping hand to every other country. A real man wouldn’t sit up there crying about a tax, Man up Trudeau.

From Florida, well spoken! Show him your wrath better than you can tell him Prime Minster Trudeau! ?? Don’t be bullied by a tyrant.\nAs for my household & I, we stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Europe and Mexico??

Thank you Trudeau for standing up to Trump. You have my respect no matter what ?

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Best speech Trudeau has ever given. As Canadians we stand strong together ??❤️

Why are the only people standing behind Trudeau are WHITE ? \n\nThis is outrageous discrimination.

I think Trudeau might be a Hero for Americans. In our darkest hour, we need a Hero now more than ever. Thank you for standing up to the ignorant dictator wannabe that the lowest denominator of Americans… racist, uneducated and wealthy pigs elected him. \nWe wish you were our leader too. \nDecent hardworking reasonably intelligent Americans Thank You and we are terrified for our future and our beloved country. God Save America.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau\nI am giving you a standing ovation!\nAs many of my fellow Americans are! We will always love our Canadian neighbors ?

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

Trudeau is a TERRIBLE leader, BUT, he acted properly here.\n\nFinally!\n\nI stand beside my terrible leader. Will you?

Great strength in Trudeau and in Canada. If the Mexicans and the Eurpeans stand strong, Trump will not be able to handle it. They must not be divided. Trump is weak in the face of that

As a Canadian, I don't say this often but very well done Mr. Trudeau. We all gotta stand up against this orange balloon.

stfu Trudeau....just fkn leave for the love of God already......can't stand looking at you and hearing anything you say.

Go PM Trudeau! You stand more than Americans would. We will never be 51st state??

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for us PROUD Canadians.

I'm so proud of The Honorable Justin Trudeau, WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE...I love you brothers and sisters in America, but I'm sorry your Donald is just A PUNK a failure to you ALL

I'm so proud of The Honorable Justin Trudeau, WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE...I love you brothers and sisters in America, but I'm sorry your Donald is just A PUNK
