To the people of Canada, I'm sorry. We appreciate you and understand any measures you take. There are still people of reason and integrity here.

❤????As a US citizen, I appreciate your truthfulness. Prime Minister Trudeau, I just wish we had true leadership and not foolishness in our Country!!

I’d like someone to clarify why it would be advantageous for America to oppose its allies and align with Putin—I genuinely don’t get it, but I assume there must be some logical reasoning behind it, or at least an explanation that makes some kind of sense. I’d really appreciate it if someone could break it down for me.

Proud of our Prime Minister and appreciate all the love. Cancelled our trippy to LA. in April. Sorry we'll miss it but we're done with this bullshit. Love you, America, and our deepest condolences. ❤️

I appreciate all the comments from our neighbours with their support. Thank you we also have your backs as Common people.

As unpopular Trudeau is in Canada, he is 1000 times better than Madman Trump. Canadians should appreciate what they have

Sane Americans appreciate our northern neighbor and support whatever tactics, and strategies, you must employ to deal with the ass hat that is our President. I’m quite envious of the articulate, honest, strong leadership of Mr. Trudeau. It’s the antithesis of the current President of the U.S. I prefer to not say his name out loud so as to not throw up.

You're going to learn to respect America and what we bring to the table. You've been sucking off the tit of the American economy with no appreciation of your neighbor... You're not going to feel and your people are going to feel what America really is in the world

It really doesn't affect Trump if eggs are $12 a dozen and gas is $7 a gallon.. I do appreciate Trump going after non diligent government spending but the hatred toward any other than the white race is just un-American

The first time ever I do appreciate a speech from Trudeau. Best speech ever of Trudeau !

This what leadership looks like. Too bad the US doesn't have this. ? Canada def with you and appreciate how Prime Minister Trudeau addressed. This is sad and is going to hurt EVERYONE.??

American here. We understand and appreciate you fighting back. Feel trapped.

He would have been a great American president or vice ? I appreciate when an individual brings proof

I am so ashamed of my government!! I appreciate Canada as a neighbor to the North!! Mango Mussolini’s actions are not those of all Americans or fellow Michiganders!!

Here in the UK we appreciate friendship and loyalty. We will stand by Canada, Ukraine, the Baltic states and Denmark whatever happens.

I certainly did NOT vote for tRump, but he went rogue. As an American, I now appreciate Canada more. We DO NOT WANT THIS!

The significance that PM Trudeau addressed him as Donald go over so many heads. It is greatly appreciated that the PM also acknowledged that Americans will be hurt by this as well, especially those of us who didn’t vote for Trump.

Trump missed the semesters when they covered Econ I & II. He also does not appreciate friendship and does not know how to treat people. I am devastated that my fellow Americans actually voted for him again.

As an American, I can appreciate Canada's response to the felon president. We want Trump, Miller, MAGA politicians and Elon out. They are bullies and Putin's puppets.

If Justin waited a little longer, he might not have needed to resign. I don't support Trudeau, but I appreciate every word he said here.

just remember Canada has as much people as California... America has already made a deal with others that actually like us. That appreciate air defense so they don't get murdered. He thinks he can tell us 25% but we can't tear them 25% with all the s*** we Supply...

Thank you for the support for Canada, all around the world. It is much appreciated in these scary times. ???

Most Americans did NOT vote for Trump. We appreciate Canada and we hate that this is happening. Our US president has aligned with Putin and we hate it!!!

❤ understood and appreciate Canadian honesty. \n\nTrump wants us to suffer. I wish there was a way for citizens to bring Trump up on charges of crimes against humanity.

As a US citizen, I appreciate my Canadian friends and neighbors!! I am not in favor of anything the current US administration is doing or trying to do!!

Thank you for your caring and concern. Canada is appreciated and loved by more Americans than you can imagine.

I appreciate Prime Minister Trudeau! And I have much respect for Canada! ?? ? \nI’d like to see us recover relations with our allies and strengthen communication so we all can work together toward peaceful resolutions. This will help trade as well as climate concerns. \nIt Certainly Can Be Done! We must bring the best communicators to the table. \n(And begin with prayer because all peace begins with God!) ??️?

As an American I appreciate how Canada prove their case with facts and not just opinions . Canada is completely right with all they said !!!!!!!

SO SORRY we have the A-hole sitting in Oval office that we do Mr. Trudeau!!! You know we're not those people who wish to be at war with any country....ESPECIALLY YOU!! PLEASE give us a minute while we work on getting free of this TYRANT!! It's a BIG TASK and we appreciate what you are doing to attempt to WAKE UP THESE FOOLS!!!!\nTHINK I'LL RELOCATE NORTH OF THE BORDER UNTIL THEN!!

To our friends around the world we appreciate and love your kind words of support. We also open our doors and wallets to trade! We got lots to offer and keen to welcome new friends and expand our relations beyond the ease of our next door neighbours. We love them but they’ve hopefully temporarily lost their minds. We hope they come to their senses but in the meantime- let’s build some bridges and get back to making the world a better place for everyone! Maple syrup, apples, blueberries, potatoes and rye whiskey for all- let a new era of international prosperity begin!

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

Canadians didn’t appreciate Trudeau! PP not on his level!

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

....last 5 years (since plandemic) started is turbulent, interesting to watch all that, in Corona time i couldn't stand Trudeau and much appreciated Trump, now it's kinda opposite....??....well all that sounds pretty democracy right?....kinda like it....

Can we just appreciate that he either memorized the entire speech or he‘s a natural talent at speaking.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We reasonable Americans appreciate our good neighbors in Canada. I'm willing to suffer in order to get rid of Trump.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Arizonan here, and we have a large Canadian population here and they support our Arizona economy year after year. Thank you Canada for being the adult in the room. Your leadership is appreciated and needed now more than ever.

OMG, now Trump is going to send his lapdog Mr Vance to screem “Apologise to the president, You never say thank you, you disrespect this country USA, You never appreciate what we do for Canada”.

I am an American and I am angry that the president did this! I grew up in North Dakota and Canadians were strongly affirmed and appreciated at the time I was living there. You are approaching this with strength and wisdom. Do not believe that all U.S. is in agreement with this behavior that Mr. T is doing.

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

I absolutely appreciate your speech. I didn't vote for any of this. I'm scared.

Mr.Trudeau is a real inteligent person who remains very calm in such difficult conditions caused by Donald Trump ‼️\nI appreciate and admire Mr Trudeau how he responded to his friend neighbour Donald Trump ‼️\n God bless Canada and his Prime Minister Trudeau with best wishes from Germany ‼️??????✌️??

LMAO, Trudeau talking to us Americans like we have a say. WTF are we gonna do? Drag the Repubs out of the White House? No thanks. I appreciate having living quarters outside of Gitmo. These assholes need to just keep having a go at each other and leave us the fuck out of it. It's their show anyway. None of them ever follow our will. If they did, we wouldn't have charter schools and public schools wouldn't have been an absolute joke before Trump started trying to shut it down.

Well stated Prime Minister. Appreciate the strategic, surgical response to this attack on our country by the American President & his republican minions. Putin 1, America & Canada 0.

Manchester England here, we share a monarch, and an appreciation of the underdog. Keep up the good work Justin.

As a Canadian. Thanks for all the kind words. We appreciate it.

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Unfortunately this well founded , intellectually solid argument will be completely lost on an illiterate buffoon that currently occupies the oval office. Trump stands only for a self seeking dictatorship. He lack the basic brain power to appreciate what he has done.
