Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

So following Trumps Logic, he wants to be like Putin, and get america to embrace that along with Russia. To do so, he is picking firghts with all of america's allies and then using their responsses to demonise them to get USA to embrace Russia, aka, bring down americas walls - so to speak and embrace dictators. So America, we stand up, or find ourselves in the company of dictators and subject to their whims. Again, Trump is selling Russia to us by stabbing our allies in the back demonising their obvious responses. When only 1 man is responsible for this, it's not a democracy

Walk out during his address. Make a statement. Walk out for her, me and country. Do not fail. Stand up for USA and walk out. just do it. Walk out. Listen to us. Walk out. Walk out. Do it. Walk out. Stop talking. Walk out.

Hey world when the it hits the fan . Don’t ask the USA for help. Just end this war doesn’t mean Trump is with Russia . Trudeau why are you all of a sudden being a leader. Your own country can’t stand you

If you stand with Canada ; why don't you move to Canada and get your wussy asses out of the USA

I totally stand by my PM Trudeau in this situation. We must boycott anything American and its time Canada explore opportunities with Europe and Asia and earnestly isolate the USA.

I am an American standing with Ukraine and Canada if anyone can stop this War it will be Canada and Ukraine and many other Countries standing up for Ukraine we have alot of bullies in our Country the USA especially Trump and I hope it all comes back and bites him in the ass and he goes down real hard he is a number 1 Moran

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

I as Canadian stand with Canada & Canadian Government. All points raised are Valid.\n USA imposed sudden & thoughtless changes in Trade.

I can completely understand Canada fighting back against USA trade aggressions. Brit standing with you Canada ??

USA seems like they are deserting their closest friends and allies,but rest assured us Brits will always stand with Canada.??

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

What a mess sorry .the USA . People will stand are not happy

We are ashamed of the current government and mad at half of the country that voted for the orange head! Apologies on behalf of the USA. We stand with Canada and Ukraine, not Trump!

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

As a citizen of the USA I stand with Canada.

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

canada i am so sorry for what the usa has done. trump is an angry demented old man. he bullies everyone including americans in office. he has the money of the drug addict elon behind him so that he can legally go after everyone. and god knows what trump owes putin. dont trust trump. i am thankful that leaders all over the world are standing up to trump, even if few american leaders can / will.

From UK. 95% of people I know stand with Canada and expect our own government to do as much as they can to help. Many individuals are already refusing to buy US goods and services and have cancelled holidays to the USA. No more Florida, Las Vegas or even California.

Us sane Americans are afraid of what this will mean for us and how we will survive, but I also don't fault Canada, as my fascist President has brought this upon us. And if anything, hopefully this might be a step toward stopping Trump's tyranny. I stand with Canada and I stand with the USA and my fellow Americans, but FDT. This is not my America or the America that my grandparents and other ancestors fought for.

Wow, a truly impressive speech! Thank you so much for standing up against the bullying Trump-administration. These dangerous clowns are about trying to dismantle democracy and freedom all over the western world.\nMe and my family were planning to visit USA for vacation this summer. After the shameful White House -meeting last Friday these plans were immediately abandoned. We now decided that we are going to Canada instead. \nGreetings from Switzerland

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Canada deserves better. You arre not alone. European allies & the commonwealth stands with you. Respect to Trudeau to standing up to trump more countries now need to do the same. USA has fallen we need to be united against this emerging threat to peace, a worried Brit.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

A brilliant speech. Honest and forthright. But lets get to the nitty gritty. It's about time the rest of the world realized that life does not revolve around the USA. There is NATO and even though political views differ there is a union to assist each other. America is on the path to a Dictatorship. Trump has the means and the backing to do it. If he gets his third term this will become a reality and there appears no one is prepared to stand in his way.

You Canadians should be proud of this man. Very well spoken. The Dutch stand with you against the USA ✊️

From the USA: I support my Canadian cousins. STAND TALL AGAINST TRUMP!

Instead of standing down, the Canada PM decided to impose 25% tariffs on its own people just to combat a war with the USA instead of mending their relationship and fight the fentanyl crisis together.

Listening to Trudeau I am truly saddened that again USA has somehow elected a man who has systematically dismantling all of American's governments that oversee consumer rights and regulations while simultaneously fiscally attacking our neighbors, closest allies on all of our borders, meanwhile speaking publicly about a globally known dictator whose personal beliefs against democracy in his own country as well as the rest of the free world. I believe that a majority of Americans like myself are left shocked after this election and do not stand behind any of these unorganized, erratic government actions as we're looking at as a whole seem to be purposely creating a atmosphere of chaos and instability seemingly without responsibility there seems to be none in charge.

Someone asked me . If Canada and USA went to war where would i stand. I would fight with canadians. Well it depends.... question what is the canadiam dollar worth? Hmmm... decisions... decisions

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

From Sweden! GREAT CANADA!! Scandinavia stands with you! \n227 / 5 000 \nI and everyone around me have already started boycotting everything from the USA. Until all good Americans with good judgment manage to get rid of the incompetent, immature and destructive fake people who are now defiling America's beautiful White House.

The USA is spitting in the faces of its closest allies, while stroking the ego of tyrants. From the UK, I stand with Europe, Mexico and Canada ?? ?

American born, live in the USA and stand with Canada. President Trump is not my president. ?I am on disability.

Now prime minister Trudeau you are a leader you are standing up and with your fellow Canadians. You sir are a true gentleman, a true leader and I applaud you and I pray your words will sink into the head of this egomaniac God bless you. God bless the USA

Great speech from the president from Canada. This is the kind of president the USA should have. I stand with Canada. TRUMP has ruined our country.

I am a USA citizen, and I support Canada, and I hope your government stands strong against our dictator. It's about time that someone puts Trump in his place. And if he continues to trash Mexico, we will stand with her as well. There are many Americans who think our current President is a menace to the world. He is greedy, arrogant and filled with pride. God Bless Canada!!

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

I am a US citizen and I stand with Canada and Ukraine. It is so validating to listen to someone who speaks the truth, a privilege we don't have in the USA. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Europe can buy your gas and oil instead of USA.

If you want to stand tall against the most powerful country in the history of Earth, let's see how long you stand. Canada is not an equal. Proud Republicans who support the POTUS should to the best of their abilities boycott Canadian products. USA cannot continue on its current path. Our grandkids will be paying $20 a gallon of milk and $1,000,000 for a run down house. USA needs change and no one until Trump offered any real change. USA saved Europe in WW2 and rebuilt Europe afterwards. If they don't want to be a friend of the USA, that will weaken them, not us

I like Canada ?? but they can piss off sorry i stand with USA ??

We stand with you, Prime Minister Trudeau. We love you. I will not buy one Fuck1ing USA product. I will not go to visit my ailing sister in the USA. I am done with the USA until smart ass Americans get their vote right!!

Stand up to USA. Its an embarrassment

Thank you Prime Minister for standing strong. I wish the leaders down here in the USA cared as much about their people as you do about yours. I did not vote for this MAGA hell.

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.
