Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

And I STAND WITH MY PRESIDENT !! I believe you need us more than we need you . DONALD ! THATS PRESIDENT TRUMP !

Uncle Trudeau yes! Please! I need the rest of World Leaders to come out stand up to Donald Quack just like this! He’s right, this is exactly what PUTIN wants to happen, for everything to fall apart on the Western part of the Globe.

This North Carolinian loves what Canada stands for!!!! I'll buy more Canadian products to show support!!! We need a Canadian Amazon to order from instead of Bezos's!

As a British person never have I disliked America as much as i do at the moment. Trump and his administration is nothing but a bunch of bullies!\n\nThe Western allies need to stand up against him and his regime and sanction/tariff America. It is the only way, the American people and Trump will see what they are doing to the world.\n\n?????????????????

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.

and yet you called the unvaccinated racist...please dont pretend you stand for us, when all you have have for a decade plus is divide and tax the crap out of us...the election coming will show just how unfavourable your leadership is for the average canadian...you even have the audacity to shut down our parliament right now, because you need another vacation...sick.

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??

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 .❤

Donald trump thinks that he's running a Mafia at the white house I don't know how the hell he became He wants to put money in his pocket And wants to destroy America Which he is not Which he is not making American gray But make making America weak America needs allies So allies Stand together Immunity and do not negotiate with America into Donald trump gets out of office God bless Allies allies Donald trump is the enemy in the white house

This man needs a standing ovation, what a figure he is!

As an American I stand with our President DJT we don't need u Canada you can stop piggyback our military protection

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

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

Man I just thought what if this is the shift of us losing our standing in the world as Americans. People better start shopping for what they need now than we want. It’s already hard day to day with wages we make imagine the cost associated with this trade war.

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

Please know most Americans cannot stand Trump. He needs removed asap

I stand with Canada. Do what you have to do. Someone needs to put the bully in his place. We will ride this out together.

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.

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.

The whole ‘standing with Canada’ sentiments are not needed and actually misdirected. Canadians will be fine. Don’t stand with us, take care of your own bs.

Fellow Americans, for those who voted for Donald, you can't make this right. You chose hate versus true Democracy. This is beyond disappointing! Fellow Canadians, I can't speak for all Americans; However, I understand your need to stand strong and United. I stand in solidarity with you.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

I am Native American. I STAND WITH CANADA!\nI’d do anything to be able to leave this shit show .\nTrump needs to go!!!!!!!!!!\n\n? ?

America first. Anyone who doesn’t want to be here is welcome to go elsewhere. There is no law that keeps you in the United States. Go stand physically where you claim to stand verbally. If countries want to benefit from the U.S. market it needs to be on fair terms otherwise we continue to be at a disadvantage from a trade standpoint.

Clown, excused convicted sexual assaulter trumpet needs to be removed for destroying our country ?. I'm an American and stand with Canada !!!!

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

When Americans were held hostage in Iran, it was Canada our great neighbor, who came to our rescue. Always a trusted and valued partner in war and peace. 48.2% of Americans are just holding our breath until the midterm congressional elections. We are sincerely sorry for our current lapse of common sense and Integrity. Please stand by us in our time of need.

Donald Trump Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Putting Our Country In Big Danger They Don’t Care About Us It’s All About Money And It’s So Sad ? I Commend Canada For Standing Up For They Country Lord Knows We Need Someone Like You And PM Zelensky!?

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

As European I admired the canadian democracy since years. Now, my respect grow even bigger. We need to stand together and work together against the stupidity in our modern world.

I’m American & I did NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP! I stand with you Canada! Do what you need to do!?

Canada shouldve been stopping immigrants and deadly drugs a long time ago. Now you want to respond! We lost too many Americans due to thay deadly drug. Hudreds of thousands of americans, including my brother. So to hell wtih Canada and there tarrifs. We dont need there products. Americans, stand stong and weather the storm. Canada will bow down. USA WILL NEVER BOW DOWN!

Well done PM TREADAU . Europe has to back up Canada fully. we need to put this nasty sick russian TRUMPET in its place!! Who wud thought one day the UNITED STATES that we all love stands next to communist and dictatorships !!? love from Manchester

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

The American people stand with Canada. Tuck Frump. Do what you need to do Canada. We the people are with you.

We apologize on behalf of the almost 50% voters who didn't vote for Agent Orange and the Nazi-saluting President Musk. We love Canada! Please get your centrifuges running because you won't need much enriched Uranium to scare off Daddy Putin and his lapdogs in the White House. You have the know how. The only way to stand up to bullies is to show them you are not frightened of them. God Bless You!

Very proud to be Canadian and good speech we need to stand united as Canadians

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

as an american, I hope not only canada, but also the rest of the world sells their resources to other countries. trump needs to learn that america is not able to stand alone!

I stand with Canada. I live in Maine. Between DOGE cutting critical money needed for the elderly and education and the inflation from tariffs Maine is going to suffer a lot. .

Did they MAGA? No, so let's move forward from this, America! We ALL need to agree to be American 1st. Our safety is at serious risk, but we can still get the train back on track, if Congress can ALL agree to put America before any other internal disagreement. If The SCOTUS and the Judicial System will do the same. It isn't too late, YET. It's time to right the ship and our allies will support us, if our people will stand up, against the harm that this Administration is doing to ALL of us, as a whole. It's leaking hate into every aspect of our country. We're inundated with it and it's spilling out, into the world, affecting our standing.\n\nWe need an Administration where we can have normal disagreements and figure how to resolve them....find HOPE again. I'm tired of feeling despair. America, be the leader of Democracy. Keep your word!\n?⚪?

Its time, the whole World needs to stop, re-think, and take measures to end wars. Get together and stop any entity from continuing to do harm to any human being all around the world. Come on, Make this World a Better Place to live in. Take a stand against all evil around the world.

If you don't stand with the united states, you need to leave, bs your a parasite here.

What would it be like if Trump spoke coherently, had common sense, and stood up for our allies and condemned our enemies? I stand with Canada and Mexico. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with those less fortunate who need food and healthcare. I am from the U.S.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

The Canadian people are stand up good people. Their leaders on the other hand are the reason for the hardship on Canada. We need nothing from Canada, except Can Am parts. Oh well I’ll trade for a Japanese unit, they have wonder leadership and a great society.
