As a Canadian, I gotta say that his speech really made me proud to be Canadian and I will always stand up for our sovereignty \n just as my grandparents did.

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

This right here has made me even more proud to be Canadian. We stand and unite loud, proud, strong and fearless as a nation. We will NEVER give in or bow down to threats and bullies. \n\nALL OUR ELBOWS UP!!!!\n\n Canada IS NOT and NEVER will be for sale. We will NEVER become the 51st state because you CAN’T have Canada Trump. We will PUSH BACK and we will FIGHT. \n\n❤️?❤️\n??????

As a Canadian I am very proud of the way our Prime Minister handled himself. Reading all the kind words from Americans and citizens around the world it gives me hope that there is still good in this world. Thank you ??

I have to disagree with a point made by the Prime Minister; Donald Trump is not a smart guy. He's a dangerous moron and a con man. I don't know what else we Americans need to see to learn this plain truth. If I were Canadian, regardless of my political persuasions, this is a speech and a stance to be proud of.

I am a very proud Canadian. Thank you to all those supporting us from all over the world.

So proud to be CANADIAN ?? to have such an educated PRIME MINISTER who can insult others without violence

Canadians should be proud of being represented by such a leader!

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

I'm proud to be canadian, Trump will not win!

Canadian here. Let me share this with people that may not know much about the history our country.\n\nIf you want to understand just how pissed off Canadians are with the US right now, here is one lil detail. Quebec, a province that has LONG grappled with wanting to secede from Canada is now proudly waving the flag in defiance of Trump's nonsense. \n\n\nLet that sink in.

Never was a fan of the guy but I am so proud to be Canadian right now. True north strong.

I’m not Canadian but Trudeau made me proud of being Canadian!

I am SO proud of our Prime Minister he echoed Canadian sentiments exactly PERFECTLY said Mr. Prime Minister ❤God bless you ??God bless Canada??. God bless Ukraine??God bless his world?protect us all from the evil that has become the 50 United States??

Absolutely true. How nice to listen to a leader who speaks truthfully and intelligently. My great grandfather was Canadian, he would have been so proud of you.

Proud Canadian….we stand with our leaders. Great speech, respectful, intelligent, on point… …standing up for ?? No drama, just facts.

Trudeau’s time to shine. Despite the circus in Canadian parliament and Trump politics, he is standing proud and strong for the Canadian, American, and even Mexican people due to unacceptable action- cost of living is now greater and scarier.

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 of our prime minister. Canadians don't want this, but we also won't back down from a bully.

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.

That’s how a leader speak!\nWith stats and figures to back his words not just gross lies!\nRegardless of their political affiliations, Canadians should be proud to have a leader who can speak so coherently!\nTrudeau will be gone in few days, but will be remembered for this speech, amongst many others ??

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Bravo Trudeau , we are proud of you !!!! We are very sure the Canadian Conservative party supporters are very sad at this moment but we don't care about the US supporting Canadian parties.

Trudeau has drug Canada's Economy Down and Held the Proud Canadian People Hostage depending on Already Unfair Tax/Trade Terriffs on American Products that have kept Trudeaus Criminal Administration!

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I'm a proud Canadian. The whole world, including Americans, will suffer because of this. But hang on tight and help your neighbours, we'll get through as we have gone through adversity in the past. ❤

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

Now THAT is a true leader, I hope Canadians are proud today. You elected a man, not a whining, insecure orange baby.

Proudly Canadian ????

Canadians must be so proud. It is like night and day compared to the buffoons across their border.

I feel sad and embarrassed ? I once was proud of our Country. This is the first time we are having trouble with our own allies. Make this make sense ?This Canadian leader is articulate and ? correct.

Trudeau is like the dad I never knew I wanted. Canadians should be proud.

As a proud new Canadian and a born and raised Brit I think now is the time to create a new trade partnership between UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Together we have everything we need. I'd even support a free movement agreement.

Trudeau is A Brilliant Example of A True Leader, Canadians I Know you Are Standing Tall And Proud ?????

As an American, I'm proud of my Canadian neighbor. We're on your side! ?? This will be the 5th or 6th Republican recession that I have lived through. I'm over it already.

So proud of Canada and its citizens! Proud to be Canadian ❤️?

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.

I am proud being Canadian ??????

A Prime Minister who respect human rights, promote transparency, and prevent corruption. With all my Respect, thank you Monsieur Premier Ministre ?. I am a very Proud Canadian ??

What a brilliant presentation from the smart, civilized, reasonable, well raised, highly educated and well behaved and polite statesman, Justin Trudeau. Canadians have to be very proud.

Trudeau makes me proud to be a Canadian. This is what leadership looks like.

Canada will adjust to leave the betrayal behind us. Canada will only become stronger. I am a proud Canadian and I will fight for my great country on every level every single day.

He killed it man, makes me proud to be Canadian.

No I didn’t watch. I despise CNN almost as much as I despise the treasonous kleptocratic tyrant Trudeau. I don’t know how CNN ended up on my algorithm list, and will now promptly block your lying propaganda. I’m a proud and patriotic Canadian, btw.

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

As a Canadian, first time I am proud of our PM. Fuck this bullshit tho, were supposed to be homies man..

Love all the support, from a proud Canadian! To the American people, we still love and respect all of you! Even the ones who want to annex us and call us a 3rd world country even though it’s hard in these times

Calling a spade a spade! Proud of our PM, proud Canadian here.
