PM Trudeau probably didn't thank us enough today. And he is wearing a suit. Why mess with Canada? ughhhhh

PM Trudeau, You are my hero. Brilliant speech and calling Donald out for his idiocy and the HARM he is doing to the US citizens. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mr Trump ...youre a mean one Mr Grinch ...im proud to be canadien ...Mr Trudeau thank you for your speech ?

You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

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

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau … the malignant narcissistic bully needed this reality check. Well done. ??

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

Justin Trudeau is out any day now so I wonder if the new prime minister will sing the same song. Thank You Justin Trudeau for your service once you term is completed. I remember in Dec 2024 your citizens wanted you gone but I'm sure they're appreciating you civil duty.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau, for being such an honorable man. And let me say here: most Canadians, because they are generally more intelligent than most Americans, realize that less than 50% of the US voters voted for the sorry excuse for a leader.

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.

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

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.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for us PROUD Canadians.

Dear Canadians I stand with you. This is beyond shameful and disgusting. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for showing true leadership!

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

Canada has the weakest courts in the free world. Thanks to Trudeau canada is a third world country. He also likes rent boys and cocaine.

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

The MAGA’s probably think Trudeau is a pu$$y for speaking coherently and with class and professionalism. Thanks Trump, don’t worry your loyal middle and lower class servants will foot the bill for you and call it greatness.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for being a world leader! I am ashamed of the current government in the US.

Great speech from Trudeau today….thanks from Alberta!!!

Thank you Mr. Trudeau ! ??

All you idiots that praise Justin Trudeau are not Canadians. This POS is the reason that Canada's middle class is now poor and suffering. There's no worse person than a liberal who talks nice but makes empty promises. Our cost of living is through the roof, our economy is tanked, our infrastructure is 30 years behind. We have now become a third world country thanks to clowns like this.

PM Trudeau, thank you for your honesty and respect for Americans and your own Canadians. Donald does not represent America’s values. I stand with Canada ??.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! Canada stands strong and free. Thank you to all the supporting comments for Canada, appreciated so much❤️??????

Thank you President Trudeau! The facts are clear. We have a dictator in power. I will fight to get him out! He has done nothing to help the American people! SHAMEFUL!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth.

Trudeau is nothing more than a lame duck cry baby. Instead of thanking the United States for all the years Canada was allowed to ride its coattail, he talks as if he can actually do something. Canada is nothing without the United States and with a response like this, it proves just how ungrateful they are. It’s about time we have a President who stands up against nations talking advantage of our country.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

Thank you, Justin Trudeau -> Intelligent & Compassionate !!! \nBoulder Colorado is with you ??

Great speech. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau ❤

As a german i can only say this: thank you for your clear words Trudeau you are now a Ehrenmann. Oh and to the GoP and the Trump loyalist: you are idiots.

Our intelligent Prime Minister! Thank you Trudeau, for making us proud to be ??!

Thank you! Trump is a jackass. Trudeau knows it!

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Thanks for what you've been doing lately, Trudeau. Come by for a beer sometime

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!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

Canada- Strong today-Stronger Tomorrow!! Never been prouder to be Canadian. Thank you PM Trudeau!!!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau.

Trudeau speaks truth in such an eloquent and coherent manner that what he says is indisputable. Thank you Canada, and sorry for the #$&! Where's our Trudeau?

Governor Trudeau is on his way out. We'll negotiate with the new administration. But thanks

Trudeau is a good leader. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

THANK YOU, PM Justin Trudeau, for addressing the American people. I am weeping about the despicable damage the current administration has done to the strong relations we have shared!

Thank you, Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, for acknowledging us, the American people. May God bless us all. ? ?

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

Proud Canadian here .. thank-you for such a wonderful speech Prime Minister Trudeau. To the world: thank-you for your messages of support. To the Americans: we've received supportive messages from so many of you as well, thank-you.
