No bullies in canada. Proud to be canadian

Good for you Canada!! No one should deal with a bully!! Trump has hurt our government can’t anyone see this!!!!!!!!

Bravo Canada, bravooooooo. Don't allow anymore Trump to bully anyone :)

I’m glad Canada is fighting back, don’t let this bully Trump hold anything over your head!

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

We cannot keep this up , everything changes with the flavour of the day, how can we put billions into projects WITH APPROVALS !! only to get them cancelled with the next flavour of the day, it,s bullying, nobody can trusts this whimsical way of going about business , especially dealing in billions of $$ , long term Canada HAS to diversify and then there won,t be the crazy discounts to oil\\ ngas and the massive profits made on refineries, so silly..

I love the USA. But I am all in for Canada. Trump is a bully like Putin. The only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them. Trump is a weak, selfish man and a liar.

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

WOW!!! What a calm, measured response toward an incredibly ridiculous situation. This is what leadership looks like!!! Thank you Canada for standing up to this bully! We'll weather this shit storm together. Thank you for being our kind, thoughtful, compassionate, patient, AND polite neighbors + friends. We LOVE you!!!

Great speech. 100% support from Europe. I hope our EU leaders get in touch quickly on how we can help Canada. They have only 40 million people and get bullied by a country 10 times as large. Unbelievably unfair. I hope the US customers will pay dearly for this unfair attack.

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.

Respect and love Canada ?? ? ? ? ? ?. Trump CAN NOT bullying any country in the world.

I'm American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Do what you have to do to stand up to the bully. I don't blame you all at all!

Is it possible that this is all about access to critical minerals - which Canada and Ukraine hav in abundance. America has form in creating a pretence to go to war to protect access to cheap oil. But in the past these wars were against arab nations and so the West found it easy to 'other' and accept the need for war. Now America under Trump is hoping to secure critical minerals (modern day oil) - but because they are allies he cant start an outright war. So hes doing it through trade. This is old form for America. When looked through this lense is not so difficult to understand. The big question is will the west allow him to bully western allies - democracies to be bullied into submission?

dt is NOT SMART! He's trying to RULE the US as a despot. We are with you, Canada!! Thank you for standing strong against the bully in the white house! \n❤CANADA❤

The maga leader is a lying bully...........the maga leader made this current trade deal with Canada.....now maga baby wants to punish and destroy everything in his path!

Canada, as an American, I am so sorry! This government does NOT represent all of us. I am embarrassed at how this is being handled by my government. It is bullying, it is wrong. I am so sorry.

From Sweden: we stand with you Canada! Don't back down to that bully of a president in the US. ????❤️

Everyone I speak to in the UK stands with Canada. We must do what’s right and stand up to the bully boy tactics from USA and Russia. Sad for Americans who didn’t vote for this seeing their country go this way.

German here that happens to have ties to both the US and Canada. Germany and Europe is with you Canada, you are on the right side of history! Don´t let yourselves get bullied by this lying sack of BS. Geez I´m craving for a Donair right now.

Trump is like Putin, a criminal convicted felon president, and a bully.\nI just regret that Canada did not also either tax all energy exports to the US, or simply cut all our energy exports to the US people who still elected a criminal at the White House.\nLet also buy all our armament elsewhere than in the USA. They don’t deserve our business and we should not trust them. ??

Canada is fierce ! Your president is intelligent! And is a true defender of democracy! And absolutely won't be bullied! Ime British! We are looking to Canada now !

As an American I speak for many that we did not want this for our countries and I condemn our President for being just a bully and a fool. Its so nice hear a leader speak with intelligence and compassion. Mr. Trudeau and the people of Canada I stand with you

Most Americans stand with Canada ?? we apologize for our president who suffers from ‘LDS’ he’s just a said pathetic human do what you must. Do not be bullied by a little man like Trump smack him down.

American Gorverment thinks Canada is easy to bully, even if it is easy to bully, so you are not going to bully your closest friends and long-term allies. Do you know how much our regular people go shopping and spend money in the US each day ?

What trump is doing is sheer hurtful lunacy. He’s just bullying. Why? Some republican sanewasher said on CNN Taiwan was building a chip factory in America because of tariffs. That’s bs. It will take YEARS for industries to move to America because of tariffs. And there’s just no need. Wonder if trumps new hairdo is hiding horns because he is doing evil, hurtful stuff and helping nobody but the rich. LOVE YA CANADA!!

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Bully Trump wants to annex Canada. I stand with Canada and Mexico.

Good for Canada to stand up to the bully\nMore countries should speak up

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

We're with you Canada. We don't want this, either. Because you are a gentleman, like all presidents should be, you can't call him what he really is, a bully, spoiled brat, and incompetent Douch bag. Unfortunately we don't have a gentleman in the White House.

Trump was telling his MAGA Republicans that Canada is not a viable country without USA and that they subsidize Canada - Does trump know the difference between trade deficits, surplus and subsidizes??? I have never heard such an UNINTELLIGENT Leader as Trump - someone who is actually a Leader of Country - he is either ininformed or an outright LIER ?? How can anyone with even half a brain vote for that to represent them?? And now we also witness he is a BULLY. Unbelievable!!!!

Americans stand with Canada, not bullies ? ??

I wish the USA had an adult to lead it like Canada and not a bully who acts like a spoiled child that needs a time out. Trump just go golfing every minute of every day for the next three years and leave the American people to live with the world.

As an American, there is nothing I want to see more than countries like Canada who hold their ground and do not allow Donald trump and his government bully them. Hopefully this will end soon and the damage can be minimized

I'm happy that Canada show some backbone back ! Trump is a bully and prays on the weak ! You must be hard to not get targeted

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

As an American I support Canada's stance. They are standing up to a bully and we need more brave leaders to do the same.

You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Prime Minister. As an American Veteran, it breaks my heart that we are treating our closest friends and allies with such contempt. The current U.S. administration is a shameful embarrassment to Americans. I love Canada almost as much as I love my own country. Stay strong and keep standing up to the senile bully in the White House - for ALL of us. ??❤️??

I sure wish we had a leader like canada. We have a mentally unfit old man in charge of our country. So happy canada is not backing down to the bully donald. I wish i could go live in canada untill the imature child 4 yrs. Is past. So sorry to you canada for what this immature bully is doing. So sorry for a convicted felon, sexual predator, has done to the countries.

Keep standing up Canada true untited states citizens support you. Do what you need to do to fight back against this bully felon.

From Ireland, God bless Canada. We stand with you against bullies. May goodness and kindness prevail.

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

As a German I will never ever set my foot into the US as long as this bully or his gang is in charge. God bless Canada!

I'm with Canada! It is ridiculous to start a trade war with our closest allies. Trump is an idiot bully, who thinks he is smart and strong, but he is weak and sucks up to our enemies.

Go Canada goooo!\n\nThank you very much!\nI would work for free for your country against that bully! ?

He's a bully who just wants another state, stay strong, Canada I stand with ? so do many Americans !!

America is the biggest bully. This is how they treat the best brother Canada. Totally support Canadians from Aus ??

We stand with Canada and Ukraine. We love you. Thank you for standing up to the bully.

Don't surrender to a bully! Go Canada fight3x! Teach the traitor trump a lesson!
