As an American, I'm extremely ashamed of my country. But I'm proud of Canada's response, and I stand with them.

We should make both countries prosperous and no tariffs. Work to help our neighbours south also.we can be still one have a tremendous amount of respect for our neighbours south. Love their country as we do ours . We are proud Canadians as our neighbours are proud Americans.

Canadian Lad here, I'm Very Proud of Our Prime Minister. Hats off Buds. Our Doors are open to those Americans that want to Live in Canada. Its a Big country I'm sure we can find a lake for you to live on free of Morons Like Donald Trump. As long as you don't mind Camping, fishing, canoeing, drinking Molson Beers watching hockey, and eating Pan cakes with Maple Syrup, lol.

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Has anybody told the Moron that the King he is so proud to have been invited to a state visit with is the KING of CANADA I am sure he is really impressed with the Moron wanting to annex a major portion of his realm and diminish one of the largest countries in the world to 1 state.

Would like to say that, by all means, anyone that doesnt like the US but lives here, go move to another country. I am proud of this country and I'm proud of our president Donald Trump. He's taking out all the greasenand removing all the Filth.

Scotland calling. The US is rapidly losing all its friends across the world…..apart from your brand new friend Russia. Anti-American sentiment is spreading like wildfire, everyone is turning against the US. Is this what you want? Are you proud of your country right now? Are you going to sit back and watch this happen? Every bully eventually ends up alone

I’m so proud of my ??Prime Minister ? he’s eloquent, honest, intelligent and handsome too. \nMr. Trudeau, you addressed the person correctly when you called him “Donald” he has nothing close resembling that of a President. \n\nIt will be difficult but I’m ready to stand with my country and fight against bullying!??

CANADIAN-AMERICAN FROM SEATTLE WASHINGTON… DEFINITELY STAND WITH YOU CANADA!!!! My Mother born and raised in Calgary, AND Edmonton is rolling over in her grave! The 80 years she lived in 1/2 of each country, made us proud to be BOTH. If she was alive today- she’d be CUSSING OUT THE US rn!

Go Canada! ??. What an amazing, beautiful, proud country you are! ? show “Donald ?” that you mean business ?.

I am proud to be a Canadian and stand forever with my beloved country.

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

ULTRA PROUD Canadian here, I just wanna say thx to all the other countries here for your support. I'll stand for this country till I return to dust.

I used to be proud to be American. Now I wish I lived in Canada ? Our country sucks right now

I always respect and love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because he’s a great person!!! I’m so proud of you for what you did for your country!!!

I have never been more proud to be Canadian. We are a strong, independent, polite and kind country. Thank you for all the support from around the globe. I have tears.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

“THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN A TRADE WAR!” I would defect to Canada any day! But because of a decision I made as a young man, I can not leave this country. I’m imprisoned in this tragic mess. Kudos to you Trudeau. Stand up for yourselves…. Be the sleeping giant. Proud of you all!

I am proud of my Country!!!!

Despite there is a beautiful ocean separated, I am proud of your country. Canadian, Stand and fight - message from UK.

That criminal president is ruining our country. I stand with Canada all the way. I'm sorry for our shitty government and not proud of united states.

As a proud Canadian citizen, I am willing to endure hardships for the sake of my country's independence. \nInstead of supplying electricity to the US, we should cut it off and let them experience darkness. Our oil and other valuable resources should be redirected to benefit Canada and other global markets.

I am a Canadian and I am currently visiting my country outside of my province of Quebec. The amount of Canadian flag that people put on their house has increased dramatically. We are a proud Canadian and we will survive at all cost

Why don't you all be proud and move to Canada while I will be proud and stand with OUR President and OUR Country!!

Surprising how despite me voting for him the first time, I wasn't proud of his stance u til after he announced his retirement. But when it comes to protecting our country, party lines dissolve. We all have the same sense of pride and the same education as to what that means.

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Extremely proud Canadian here. This has nothing to do with the unjustified tariff war against us and our Mexican allies, but I just want to say, shame on you, Wayne Gretzky, for whatever reason you have to be standing shoulder to shoulder with a monster, and against the country of your birth.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

As an American, I am so Proud of President Trump! If my neighbors in Canada had done what was right and stopped the flow of fentanyl from coming into Canada and flowing into my country, little Justin wouldn’t be crying right now in front of a camera. Hey Justin, how many of your politicians were paid off to allow fentanyl to continue flowing? None, you say? So it was just incompetence then? I don’t think that you care because you are on your way OUT! I hope my Canadian friends do better!

As an American, Canadians should be so proud of their country today. You have real leaders.

So proud of our country and Prime Minister. Thank you, Mr Trudeau, much love and respect.

You Prime minister destroyed the country that leads to that tarifs possible. And you proud of him. ?

F*ck Drump and his voters. Now we all have to suffer through it. I'm so proud of Canadian. Good job for standing upfor your country and for your people. This is how an intelligent growth adults speak. No yelling,no lies,no bully.

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

This what happens when you have a leader who know clue what he is doing....Zero ...thats why Canada is broken and the most expensive country in the G7..Hellooooooo..I am born older Canadian..You tell me what there is in this country to be so Canadian proud? What? This guy messed up our country and now its to late

Well done PM Trudeau! How a leader behaves! A proud Canadian here! Canada strong and free country now and always!

Bravo very proud of you and your country

What the hell is this country coming to? I am a proud Native American but I am embarrassed to be called an American right now. This has to stop. We need adults to jump in and end this nightmare. And end it before it is too late. We are going to lose our closest allies then what will we have left?

I’m proud of the Canadian leaders, who are kind and care about the well being of Canadians, and the world, Canadian leaders who are respectful, and don’t bully the less fortunate countries, I’m so proud of the Canadian leaders, the Canadian leaders who aren’t bullies, and are well educated, unlike US leader Trump.

As an expatriate Canadian living outside of Canada for 40 years I have always been proud to be Canadian. Today I am 5 fold proud of my country and prime minister who have shown an intelligent but firm response to an adolescent bully.

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

I was never a fan of Trudeau and his governments policies but today I am proud to call him my country's leader.

Proud of how our country is rallying together and for not stooping to Trump's level <3 My heart goes out to everyone in America who did not vote for this. Big hugs from Canada!

As an American…I urge Canada to continue standing tall..you should be proud of your Prime Minister and your country

So proud of our PM and my country canada ?? ????♥️♥️♥️

I know your country is so proud of you as am I. You would be my dream president. It just requires someone smart, honest, wanting to do good instead of evil. I saw your birthday is December 25th. What a gift you are to your family and the world!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Could this man please become the Prime Minister of England. I want to feel proud of my country again

CANADA be proud of your Country and Prime Minister Trudeau for delivering such a clear and too the point message on what is a senseless and pointless trade war. All the Best, IRELAND

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??
