That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

A Filipino here with friends in Canada and I support Canada, PM Trudeau and its citizens.

As a North American I’m glad Canada is holding their ground. It might be the proof our errant voters need to come to their senses

Canada looks frightening. Almost dystopian

Proud of my Prime Minister. Handling the situation like a champ. Thank you Americans for supporting Canada, we support you as well and I sincerely hope that we will be able to solve this. Donald is such a shame for the whole world… unreal.

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!

We are canada ??

Hey Canada ??, everybody in America isn't poor, we'll survive

Stand strong against the petty bully, Canada ?? \nWe all support your country.

As an American, I stand with Canada and any other country that is repelled and repulsed by the idiocy that is the Trump administration. Blaming anyone and everyone for our own shortcomings is a fools errand and a petty and idiotic way of governing. This country is under the rule of a narcissistic dictator wanna be and a cult of clueless clowns.

CANADA you GANGSTA!\nRespect my friends, nuthing but love from NZ and Australia!

Canada helped U.S. on 911 like no other nation could,using a small airport meant for smaller planes to help by allowing jumbo jets to land,while we gladly housed Americans there. - Through Our Lens - A 9-11 Story

Find out what pain Canada has planned for the future tariffs. Unplugged, no oil, no metals and no wheat. Good luck shivering in the dark.

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.

Go Canada ??

Love and Support for Canada all the way ??❤️

Where does Russia and Putin come into Canada's squabbles with the US?

Brave, bold, justified and resonable response from Canada. Weldone.

Total support to Canada ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ?.

Now imagine if Trudeau led Canada like this his entire Prime Ministership, this is like dirty dog calling another dirty dog a filthy animal.

American from North Carolina here. 100% support for Canada's reaction. Many of us can't wait for this utter nightmare to end.

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.

I love you Canada

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

Please Canada PLEASE KNOW we are NOT being represented by by that orange, drunk party clown with many known and unknown mental problems. \nthe PEOPLE does NOT side with him and we are TRAPPED HERE on all sides. What can we do to get another country/countries to step in and HELP US!!!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!\nWe are watching the world around us burn and we. Need. HELP! \n \n? PLEASE PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! ?

I am American, and I feel deeply ashamed with the hostility our own leadership is showing against our best friend in Canada

There are way more hard drugs flowing from the US, into Canada…

It just doesn’t make sense that he immediately attacked our Allies. Canada ? so many of us are devastated.

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

The politicians have lost and don’t think Putin is our friend… We just want people to stop dying… War is not the answer at this point… Bro thinks the retirement stock market is inflation? ? That explains why sleepy Joe messed it all up. Canada is just mad we don’t want their candy. ? Find business elsewhere where I guess bruh. ? You don’t have to cry about it on TV…

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Listen, the numbers don’t look good for Canada. America have the resources to withstand long term pains of tariff while Canada can only withstand a short term before a serious recession

CNN is not a trusted news source, I have not heard one citizen of Canada speak highly of Trudeau, You are not in a trade war with the US you are throwing a tantrum and will loose

That’s kind of president. I like GO CANADA ??

I am from the U.S. and I am SO happy Canada has done this. Stand up to the Clown and Coward in office in the u.s. and make it Very Tough for him!!

I promise you Canada is going to feel it worse than us we have the resources it’s just people don’t want to work America has everything we need!!!

I am American and I stand with Canada.

God bless Canada. What can the MAGA pundits say about his speech? Nothing, because he absolutely delivered with facts.

just a couple of mistakes here and there, USA's biggest ally is México, Canada is a close 2nd. But Canada and Mexico can be great partners work together and just forget the dumbasses in between =)

Lol booooo, boooo Canada

I am an American citizen. I stand with Canada. ??

Go Canada!!!! we all stand with you well done. So now Tariffs from Canada and China, next will be Europe and Australia will stop all imports from the US Hopefully, Trump will cause a recession on the world

❤❤❤?? Canada Strong ?? ????❤❤❤

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

Under Trump Canada became our enemy and Putin became our friend.

Thank you Canada

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

God bless Canada we all fight for our beautiful home????

We don’t want this either. We don’t want tRUMP. Or MUSKRAT. We want Canada. Our friends and neighbors.
