Canadians should be proud of their leader today. Great speech?

As a Canadian I am proud to see our PM speak like this today, (eloquently and intelligently) and proud of how all Canadians are uniting at this time. \nGod Bless Canada.

Americans wake up ! Canada is your biggest ally - this is disgusting. And what Trump is doing is in a way what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Why would Canadians want to be the 51st state? They are their own country and they are proud.

Canadians should be proud of this articulate, principled and intelligent statesman. I hope our NZ politicians support and standby Canada and be more direct and clear in their criticism of Trump and his idiots.

I'm proud of you Prime Minister Trudeau! Stand your ground! Thank you for representing us so well in this moment. \n\nDoes it make sense to be at war with your peaceful neighbors? Canadians can trade with the rest of the world.

He is really going out with a bang. As a Canadian I couldn’t be more proud of this speech than I am. There is anger and disappointment in Canada. It is not anti American. It is anti insanity.

i feel like a proud Canadian right now but I'm American and stuck with the musketeer and his trumpet

So proud to be Canadian!

I’m so proud to be Canadian right now

Trump used Fentanyl as an excuse for his greediness to swallow Canada along with our resources. Dream on and back off. Proud Canadian here.

Beautiful he speaks two languages perfectly he should have told Trump where to go in French love Canada ?? ❤❤❤‼️? when we fight we win we will not lose to a dictator ‼️?? we are a proud country and we will protect our allies like we protected you in 9/11 . I was born in Quebec to a Canadian mother who spoke French and an English father proud of my heritage and my provinces ‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️??

I am an American. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the leadership of America. However, I am extremely proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and the citizens of Canada!! I stand by Canda and will be purchasing Canadian products as much as possible.

As an American, I DONT SUPPORT OUR president!! I never have! My grandfather, makes me proud of my Canadian heritage and i support YOU doing anything you need to for your country! He is isolating us from our allies and i need to appologize for his arrogant and bad behaviour! I love your country and my own, but i DONT support my government right now!!!

Too bad he's resigning. He spoke like a true leader. Respectful but firm. I've never been prouder to be a Canadian in my life and I have always been proud.

If I could switch presidents like the Canadian president for ours I would because Canada has a great president and Canadians should be proud of the president not like Americans with their president

There will be a point of no return. When Canada no longer asks to have the tarriffs removed, and just pulls the electric plug -Proud Canadian

Thank you prime minister Trudeau for making all Canadian proud . This is what we call a great leadership !

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You make me very proud to be a Canadian! True North Strong and Free! ❤??\nAs well, thank you Americans and people around the world for supporting Canada. Bless you all!

Proud to be Canadian and our Prime Minster

VERY PROUD TO BE CANADIAN WITH THIS PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU STAND FOR CANADIANS !!!!

As a Canadian and not a huge Trudeau supporter, I want to say how proud I am of this message.\nHe is patriotic, strong and most of all, coherent.\nTrump is none of the above.

Proud Canadian. This is how a leader reacts in crisis, with facts and intelligent reasoning.

Buy Canadian ❤ I am always proud to be a Liberal

Canadians, you should be ery proud of your PM.

Never been so proud to be Canadian... and I am German. ?

Canada ?? I m proud to be Canadian. I've never been a fan of Justin, but today, he's speaking from the heart and for Canadians. This may be Trumps stupidest move and will hurt Canada as well as the US.

I haven't enjoyed much of Trudeau's office, but this he owns. He really laid it down here. It made me proud to be Canadian. He absolutely, kicked ass and I hope he just hammers Trump. Trudeau's level of forthrightness and honesty in this situation is (I think) exactly why people voted for him. It makes me feel like he's going to kick Trump's ass.

Never been more proud to be Canadian. And thank you to all Americans supporting us. ❤

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

I’m a Proud Canadian, ?? We won’t be Bullied Donald

Ony a tiny fraction of people beyond the border have put fire on things that could easily be settled through talk. I do hope that Canadians remain proud and calm as always.

As a Canadian I'm not a fan of Trudeau but this is a very good speech, proud to be a Canadian.

IAM proud of Justin t. Prime minister being Canadian ❤❤❤❤❤ IAM willing to sacrifice for Canada ❤

I'm American and I'm proud of Canadians for standing up to my stupid ass government. My government doesn't speak for me. I suppose no countries government actually speaks for it's citizens.

Elon Musk should not be able to cross the border to Canada again and that go's to anyone with an Canadian citizenship who thinks Canada should be the 51 State should give up their Canadian citizenship and move to the United States.\nI'm proud to be Canadian\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMcCuHal3jA\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOaLI4rgLk

Dear Canadian friends...I am a young widow raising six sons. I hate Trump, Vance, and Elon, plus many more MAGA freaks. I have always been so proud of our common boarder...the biggest in the world. I am shitting in my pants. We love you guys, please believe me. ❤❤

Very proud Canadian, we will support our own people, and support our allies and Ukraine!

I am. Now very proud. Justin being Canadian. , ❤❤❤❤

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.

I purchased my canadian flag today and I live in the u.S I stand behind you, one hundred percent canada! I love you and love everything you stand for. He's a lunatic in there is no reasoning with a lunatic. His cult following has gone too far. I couldn't ask for better neighbors.I couldn't ask for better friends. I love you, and I will more than proudly, fly your flag on my porch!!! ❤❤❤

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.

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

Mr. Prime Minister I’m a proud Canadian. I know that we are ethical and we have integrity. We complied with the fentanyl issue, but this is not about fentanyl, it’s about something more. Perhaps he wants to do to Canada what Putin did to Ukraine, without the military force, but with the monetary force.

Canadians will stand proud to bullies.

As a Canadian, I stand with all non-Trump Americans, Mexico, Europe and Ukraine. \n\nThank you Mr. Prime Minister!\n\n?? Proud! ?? Strong!

So Proud of you my Prime Minister ????you said it very well for all us Canadians??

PROUD TO BE CANADIAN WE WILL NEVER BEND THE KNEE TO A FELON AND CRIMINAL!!!! ????????????

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

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!
