Thank you prime minister Trudeau , I am so sorry this big orange turd and his administration are doing this to Canada, Ukraine , Europe and even our own citizens!!! I did not vote for that psycho I am so ashamed of my government ?

Thank you Prime Minister for speaking the truth and speaking directly to American citizens. Many of us in America continue to support our friends and allies and Canada is certainly our strongest. The biggest problem with Trump is he keeps moving the goal posts. His trade war will weaken both countries.

Prime Minister Trudeau, please don't lump the people of the US. with trump or maga, most of the people are against everything trump and maga do, and thank you for standing up to that pompous ass.

Prime Minister Trudeau Thank you for your kind words innocently and sincerely spoken. We love you too ❤We don't just see you as a business opportunity but our friends ? I'm so very sorry as an American

Thank you Prime Minister showing the American people how stupid and ignorant nearly half the country is. Americans want their country back vote the garbage out. I wouldn't hold my breath. A very sick and drug dependant half the country. Don't blame Mexico or Canada

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing strong and for remaining calm and collected during your speech. We admire your integrity and knowledge!

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for really trying to help.

I am so proud of our Prime Minister, his Dad, Pierre Elliot, our former PM would also be very proud of him?. Thank you for your courage in this one of our darkest hours!

This American wants to move to Canada!!! Thank you for speaking the truth, Mr. PRIME MINISTER

You always been there , we always knew that you did and do your best . Thank you Mr Prime Minister. We must stand against bullying.

This is inspiring given the UK prime minister bowing down to the US. My country is embarrassing- thank you for standing up to this.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American, I agree with you 100%!!! I absolutely do not support DT, and I know may Americans that do not like what he's doing to our country and the world.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! We Americans don't want this either!

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

Such a good man, who has chosen to worship GOD, and NOT TRUMP! THANK YOU, Mr. Prime Minister!!

Now THAT is how you speak to your constituents; directly and firmly, Prime minister Trudeau, thank you—-no “tough guy” pretenses. Just direct and to the point. Learn something America.

We love you, Mr. Prime Minister ♥️ Trump is an EVIL, AWFUL person! Thank you for standing AGAINST him!!

Thank you, Right Honourable, PM Trudeau. It turns out that you are a strong and capable wartime Prime Minister.

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

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.

Our Prime Minister. Not Governor. Prime Minister. We stand on guard for thee. ???. Thank you everyone for all your support! It means the world to us!

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister! Americans don’t want this either, so secure your side of the border, stop all the fentanyl and illegal immigration coming in and the rest will automatically sort itself out ;)

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

From Canada, I would like to thank my Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for standing up for Canada and the world.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

We will survive because we are united as one. We have great leaders leading this war. We will survive. Many Canadians are doing their part by not buying American goods anymore. God protect our brave nation. Thank you, Prime Minister and Premier Ford.

Thank you Canada for your strong stance! Great Prime Minister, Canadians can be proud. Please stand by Europes, we need your partnership.

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.

Hey Trudeau, I can take you up in anything at anytime, except when you assert Putin is a criminal. You fully know who pushed Putin into war with Ukraine and why. We’re not as stupid as you might think. So watch your mouth Mr. Prime Minister before you make any accusations against anyone. Thank you!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I am proud of you. Well said. We stand together with you for Canada.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for not giving in to a felon bully president.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, my heart is filled with such adoration. Spoken so concise and eloquently as a leader, yet remaining respectful. Thank you for standing up for our soverenty as an independent nation (not a 51st state) and us as Canadians will stand together with you through this unnecessary tumultuous storm. Again, we thank you ?? ? ? ❤️

OMG... THE TRUTH! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You ARE the voice of reason, strength, dignity and intelligence! As an American, I am sorry to the lovely people of Canada. I am mostly sorry for myself having to live through this. Keep the peace Mr. Trudeau, and thank YOU!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up to Donald Trump

I am not a fan of our Prime Minister but I stand beside him as a proud Canadian. Thank you Prime Minister Tuesday for sending this strong message to that traitor Trump. He has no clue how Canadians rallied to support Americans in our homes when 911 happened. Americans, please take your country back.

Thank you, Prime Minister! Fierce and necessary words!! ??✊?

Thank You Mr Prime Minister, You Saud Exactly what needed to be said at this time, tRump gave Canada, Mexico, China no option but retaliation or comply.. Canada will retaliate as we don't have a Bully that is an Oligarchy Driven Maniac at the helm..\nVote ?? Every Time!!! ??❤✌

Very well said, Mr. Prime Minister! Thank you! ??❤️?

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. You made many mistakes during your mandates but now, you defend your country as a real Statesman.\nThank you.

We stand by you Canada. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Trump for no reason made a War at his closest Ally. What a Fool. Deport him to Russia.

Thank you for speaking to us, Prime Minister. Our Representatives won't even give us that courtesy.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for that outstanding speech! ?? ❤️

Thank you, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Every word masterfully stated, and TRUE.

Canadian here. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister. We will stand united and fight.

I am so proud of my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Thank you for standing up to this bully. #ProudCanadian????????

??????❤❤❤?????? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau I appreciate the circumstances Trump has but you in.

Thank you, CNN, for airing our Prime Minister's speech in full, without interruption. We are not a perfect country but I am grateful to have a sane leader who isn't a bully, and doesn't have to resort to childish name-calling to portray 'strength.'

Mr. Trudeau you've made some mistakes while prime minister in my opinion but when really needed you have been there for your country. Very well done! Thank you!

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us
