As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

Mad respect for Trudeau! As an American, I wish we had a president like you. Can you buy the US? ?

Highest respect for Trudeau for speaking out and fighting back for both the canadians and americans. He is right when he says no one wins in a trade war.

Respect and best wishes to Canada, stay strong. American gov once again acts very cocky... Greetings from Poland.

Prime Minister speaks with grace, intellect, and empathy! I am American and embarrassed, ashamed, and disgusted with this president and surrounding members. It is time for our congress to step up and put a stop to this nonsense. There is a better way through collaboration and respect!!!!

I wish us Americans could actually think intelligently, but we are stupid for electing trump and think that that clown has all he answers when all he does is destroy everything he touches. He does not care about anyone and should be removed from office. To the world, I am sorry our country cannot treat our friends correctly with respect and dignity . We elect stupid people. We have no excuse and do not deserve friends we have to the world.

I have always felt emence pride to be an American. We truly were a land of opportunity and freedom for all. Respected by others because we respected others. How did we go from protecting those in need to exploiting the weak?

With respect, we Americans understand. We don't want this, either.

Now I speak to one American, Donald. Not PRESIDENT or DONALD TRUMP. Just Donald however he is wearing a suit. Nothing but respect for Canada. They see in Donald what the majority of Americans see in him also.

American prices will rise across the board, farms will fail, factories will shut down, unemployment will climb and the US being a weak society will sit there and take it while the billionaires and corporations pulling the strings plunder the treasury and steal all the tax money. Sure Canada will take a hit but at the end of the day we will come out of this stronger and with the respect and backing of the world and America will be weaker and viewed as too untrustworthy and undependable for anyone to want to do business with.??

Im so ashamed of the american government. I respect canadas actions and support them. I hope we can stop this mad man soon.

From Spain, all my respect to Canada. I'm sorry for the americans who didnt vote for that mad evil traitor.

From a pissed off American: much respect Canada! Elbows Up!!

I’m from the uk, It’s sad to see our brothers across the pond make these decisions against each others interests at a time when the west should strengthen its alliances, I have massive respect for Justin Trudeau in laying out the facts and not shying away from speaking frankly to Americans and Donald directly

Funny telling - because harshly words always using Trump and what you USA expect , because ‘this message was very much polite and professional sent to Americans. Trump not knowing to speak with diplomacy and respect for others !

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

As an American who supports justice, integrity, and respect.. to watch this fear/ego charged charade makes me sick and ashamed at what this country has become: a political scam aimed at taking far more than is given, lies stacked on top of lies and a global deception scheme that risks the livelihood of every single citizen. We can’t go on like this. This administration will destroy America before the end.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

So much respect for him and the people of Canada right now. I’m so embarrassed of our American president.

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Only the American government is misbehaving towards the whole World. The moment other nations could survive without the US, then the Super-power status is dead for ever. The blessings in this is, other nations will learn to build inwardly to earn their respect in the future. Their economies will be better for it. Their citizen will drastically reduce migrations. And the US could take care of only his citizen and stop insulting others for their failures.

President chump is an ignorant pig, respect to Canada! do what you gotta do, if americans didn't want this then that orange stain of a president wouldn't have gotten elected, but all the orange stain minons voted for him, by choice.

American liberals love and respect Canada and the EU more than their own country. That's why they have put us in so many one-sided relationships.

Thank you PM Trudeau. I understand and respect your response. ELBOWS UP!!!!!\n❤American for Canada!

As an American, this speech was powerful. Respect

I like what Trump is doing, this is the wests chance to put separation between us and America, American corporations cannot treat people in Europe like they do in the US, Americans food is filled with rubbish banned in most of the west, respect to Americans but your corporations are terrible to people.

Much respect to you, Canada. Calling it out evenly and openly, and telling the truths that many Americans apparently need to hear. Much love from Oregon.

the man, americans love so highly that they voted for him not once - but twich - as their commander in cheif and president - is a man with a shovel digging the hole deeper and deeper, to the point where he cannot get out. As a Dane I support Canada all the way, and belive Us is lost.'\n\nAll my respect and sympathy for the way Canada's politicians handle this situation.

Please don't judge all of us Americans. Some of us still respect our Canadian neighbors.

Respects to Canada. The Tariffs will kill everbody in US and the trade war is beginning. Russia and China laughs about the AMERICANS have fun in future wirh your criminal Clown Name Donald Trump.

I respect Canada, I am ashamed to be an American!

Question for Americans. Do you finally feel respected again?

talking to the american people nor trump is futile. stop being dramatic and copying netanyahu's speach directed to palestinian people. just slam your own tsriffs against the US and let their people feel it! you are such a wimp in dealing with your bully that's why you dontget the respect globally! just do it! and do it fast! jeeez

Hey Americans, this is how a leader talks, how he represents a nation, how he brings facts to the table and speaks in a coherent and respectful manner.

I stand With Canada ??, EU ,UK , UKRAINE ???..this mad man Should be removed NOW 25Th Amendment Now he must Be stopped at All Cost hes tanking our economy and taking jobs from Americans but Gave all Of us ?..Not smart ?.. Respectfully...Start a garden and protest every chance you can..Call write ...senetors...They need your votes ..?????✊??????

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

Immigrants to the United States, are found responsible for crimes at a rate far below that of American citizens . Please stop fear mongering, stop deceiving your followers. You show no respect for your followers and the truth.

Dear bodacious,\nI totally agree with you. My Mother was Hungarian and she applied for citizenship with my Dad’s help because he had served in WW2 , and he was an American citizen.\nThey did everything the legal way. Mom took classes. Learned English. She was so proud of being naturalized as an American citizen.\nWhy can’t people obey our laws? They have respect for our Sovereignty or all the people, soldiers et al who fought for our freedom to exist and evolve as a nation.\nI agree with Bllood, Sweat, and Fears as well!\nThe President’s Cabinet are working well together: Kash Patel will move the FBI agents out to work the field of our country….hunting down terrorists and criminals. Trafficking in drugs/ sex/ slave labor.\nObama/Biden disobey existing laws. Hope all the stolen money gets frozen by the DOJ

It's typical that you think poorly sicialised people refers to poor people. The worst are not poor at all. Most Americans are not taught basic manners or respect for others. They were taught only they natter.

Im american. Most indian people i meet have been lovely people. I treat all people with respect.

I am Québécois, and things here are quite different from the rest of Canada. For example, we have a law here that clearly forbids wearing religious signs when in a position of authority. Even a teacher, because they are a figure of authority for their students, could not wear the Roman collar, a cassock, a hijab, a niqab or anything else of the sort while in school. In the streets or any other public place, there is no problem at all. Everyone is welcomed to express their difference of culture or religion in the way they dress or in whatever other way. They are treated with the same respect and kindness as anywhere else in Canada. It is only that the separation of religion and state, and religion and authority is paramount here. Everybody is free and can express themsleves freely. But don't use that freedom to impose your views onto others. \nSo, when American judges are chosen for the federal court specifically because of their christian fundamentalist biases, it doesn't resonate well at all for me or the majority of Québécois. When the rights of the LGBTQ+ community are being questioned or jeopardised. Or a previous federal judgement like Roe v Wade is being overturned for religious reasons... it is a definite turn off for all of the Québec people to even remotely consider the United States as a destination to emigrate to (supposing that one would want to leave our beautiful country).\nMore and more, America, that used to be recognized as the land of the free, appears to be retrograde and restrictive and definitely not so free.

If Americans did this to another country they would be fired upon. They don't respect the laws and customs of our country. So do unto others as they'd do to you.

your logic is laughable. It's the extra and extra hardworking, low paid, abused people like Mexicans, other south Americans, east Indians, Africans, Arabs and many other people from around the world who are the powerhouse and the ones who are keeping your stupid country USA?? running. You wytey colonizers should never ever take pride in calling yourself Americans ! Period. My respect goes to the indigenous peoples of America who has ensured so much !!

Dear American allies ...If you want to be respected in India avoid this kind of behaviour....or else Indians are easily offended..& ready to reciprocate.

Inhumane...shame on US treating like this... I wish that all indians should return back and let the Americans show intelligence in software development....\n\nVery annoyed to see our people had been chained like a convict..\n\nIn india , how many foreigners are living you know... Their visa got expired and most of them look like half indian face ... and they live here... \n\nToo much Bangladeshis have come here to India... and even from Africa some guys are roaming here... If at all they were caught we just deport him and they can't come to India for minimum 5 years..and some fine..that's it.\n\nBut we don't ill-treat..We respect humanity..\n\nLet the U S understand this....

Indian here if you enter another country illegally you are a criminal you spent $10000 dollar to enter America which you could have spent here and lead a life of respect but NO !! You should be greatfull to American taxpayers that they are paying for you return

The American people live under the occupation of the terrorist organization AIPAC, which buys the president and members of Congress and has turned America into a country that does not respect international law or international organizations.

This warning must be taken very seriously by ALL Americans of different races. \nBe very careful of my Globalist Privileged Upper and middle class. \nOrwell was born into this class of people, what he saw and heard growing up, made him come and live with us working-class English. \nBelieve me, Files will go missing, Planes, massive ship tankers, and more. \nUnless you throw them out of your country you are toast. \nI can go on and on, but I think I have made my point. \nNo human being deserves respect or a place the table of life when they believe in race replacing their very own. This is where you Yanks need to draw the line in the sand. \nYOU YANKS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE REALING WITH. TRUST ME. \nYou will have to shut down its media, you have no option.

I do not respect Trump\nAre they legal American?\n????\nIf they are,!\nIf Trump is sending Americans beavuse they are brown\nNit ok

Nigerian here..... Why are people flocking to where they are UNWELCOME? Even if the past government allowed them in, just scrolling through American news, anyone can see that immigration into America is hurting Americans, legal migrants are also hurting from loss of jobs that are going to the illegals for less, etc, etc and there's also a limit to alien acceptance INTO ANY COUNTRY. \nThe lack of self-respect is mind boggling (including from amongst my own Countrymen and women rushing to US, EU)..?
