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

Bravo Canada - as an American I stand against all bullies and my president is not a leader but he is a bully. I have no respect for him or anyone in his administration. He is a puppet of the Russian Federation because he is hostage to V. Putin. My supposed leader is a coward. He instead of helping a country at war with a vicious enemy and helping that country he betrays them and cuts aid and forgets the very foundation of this country that fought a vicious enemy to be free and independent. Fight for all you are worth Canada. Most people in the United States Stand With You - those who don't are supporters of a corrupt criminal posing as president.

Irishman here, well done Canada for standing up to the bully.. Great speech... The EU will gladly trade with you....????....

THATS RIGHT STAND-UP TO THE BULLIES AND TRAITORS ??

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

Good on you, Canada. Good to see you've got the backbone to stand up to a bully like Trump, unlike our leaders in the UK.

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

As an American I am grateful to Canada and I will continue to buy Canadian products. The “leaders” of America are shameful bullies. So far, nearly every attempt that has been made to stop this madness ultimately gets turned over by someone in Trump’s pocket. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. I wish the best for you!

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

With Canada all the way, stand up to a bully!!

L can only applaud canadas president standing up to trump & his bullying and trying to intimidate other countries and be little them .. ???

Good. Everyone must STAND UP to the bully Trump. yes, it will hurt everyone, but we have no choice.

Hey Canada. Huge respect for standing up against this bullying Trump/Vance/Musk/Rubio Gang. Let us Team up to bring wealth and strength to our people. Sad thing is that the nice people from America and their beautiful Country has to suffer under these bullies bring up the whole world up against themselves for no reason. Greetings from Europe.

Putin's puppets have marching orders to divide our country, trash our economy, destroy our security, remove us from NATO to eliminate allied relationships. Then Donald can just hand over Ukraine to a murderous thug named Putin. Pretty much on track, I'd say. They have been bought and sold their souls to the devil.\n\nI support Canada and hope they continue to stand up to the bullies. It breaks my heart that enough people voted for an adjudicated rapist, 34x convicted felon, conman, pathological liar, malignant narcissist grifter who is now calling the shots. He is Putin's puppet... pure and simple, Donald's a traitor!

Donald the Dumbo. Well said. The world has to stand up to this Bully

A golden age for the rich, not the people. Stand strong Canada , dont let this bully take you down.

Plainly speaking, it was never about fentanyl. Trump is trying to bully everyone into submission. We saw it last week with Zelenskyy. Don’t back down Canada. True Americans stand with their allies.

I am so glad that Countries are standing up against a bully!

As an American I support Canada in standing up to the Bully in Chief.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

I support Canada in their fight continue to stand up to this bully that what’s to control everything and everyone he is all\nAbout money the republicans party are all scared of him so they are all going along with him how could America stand there and let a dictator destroy the country we are living in the last days all we can do his pray sad??

When you get bullied, you stand up and fight back.

From a US Citizen... Canada remain strong and unlike our politicians stand up to all bullies. Trumples the Clown doesn't represent the good in the US... and to the veterans that spoke up... thanks for your service and thanks for once again standing up for the US

As an American, i always want to support my country, but when they are attacking an ally and friend for absolutely no reason, i have no choice but to hope that Canada stands strong against Trumps bullying.

Deleted anything related to the US. Everything. Will never buy anything American, nor will i go to the US anymore. You elected a tyrant. A tyrant aligned with everything filthy on this planet. You needed to stand up to that bully at the last election but you ignored every red light just for the improbable « chance » to save a few bucks!? Shame on you all. Now deal with the consequences.

I'm American...and I wish canada would put a 500% tariff on America..yes we would suffer but somebody needs to stand up to the bullies...lol the American govt doesn't care about fentanyl ..

Stand up to bullies & tyrants.

Americans stand with Canadians ❤ stand up to the 34 count felon orange bully

We stand with you Canada, china and Mexico. Don’t allow a convicted criminal felon who escaped prison term to bully your nation. I blame morons and illiterate racial haters who voted for this dementia old man who thinks he is God. America, you can correct your stupid mistake in 2027 by voting out Republicans in congress. With that, this insanity is stop instantly. His brain will start to function.

Well done Canada ??. It is time to stand up to bullies and unite with true allies that respect you and treat you with dignity. We seem to be dealing with a deranged madman who should be seeking proper medical treatment in a special medical facility, not ranting and raving in the Oval Office. Call it treason, corruption, greed, weakness, mental instability, cognitive decline, bullying, aggression, spitefulness, vengeance - the only person who should be considering resigning is the out-of-his-depth overpromising & under deliverer convicted sexual felon in the Oval Office who is p!ssing into the tent not out of it, with regards to your old allies.

As a Canadian, I am proud of our leadership on the tariffs. We are polite people, but we refuse to be bullied. How can Trump treat our country this way when he cozied up to dictators? Well, my siblings who are Americans won't see me for awhile. I have to stand with my country. Proud to be Canadian. We as a country are united against tyrannical behavior.

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

We will stand strong and free. We love our American neighbors and friends, but we will not let this bully take advantage of our sovereign nation.

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

Well done for standing up against bullies and tyrants.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

WELL DONE, someone needs to stand up to Trump & his bullying. Keep at it up; this is like a breath of fresh air in this stinking USA government.

As a Canadian I stand proudly on guard for my amazing sovereign country ❤ ?? ❤\nWe must protect ourselves from this extremely old, dumb Liar ,bully. Puppet Master want to be dictator, convicted felon, sexual predator and supporter of the war criminal killer, lying and bully Putin and Russia. \n\nI see what's happening to the American people, your constitution and bill of Rights because of trumps and his bunch of thugs administration and this will hurt both Canadian's and every single American, the United States is in great danger because of this deranged very old orange child bully who is in love with dictators. Youre country has been in decline and no longer the great coountry that the United States were. Believe me trump cares nothing for the American people. God bless you as both our countries, Mexico, and all countries are being hurt by trump/ Vance administration. As they support the dictator \nPutin the war criminal and lying bully.\nTrump / Vance are not Peace MAKERS and the war criminal and brutal dictator putin will never stop the war.\nThe world is that much closer to world war 3 because of trump bromance with putin.

I stand with you Canada, I know my pocket book is going to get hit, but you are being bullied and you either give in or stand up. Keep Standing up

You fool, this is not anti-Americanism.\nAmerica, more specifically Trump, picked this fight. Not Canada. Standing up to an overbearing bully who picks a fight is not anti-Americanism.

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

Thank you Canada for standing up to bullies. ❤

Please. Please. Don’t lump all Americans in with this appalling administration’s actions. This man and his sycophants are acting in their own best interests. Apparently, if our representatives disagree, they fear for their lives. Thank you for standing up to this bully.

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

finally countries are standing up for themselves against usa bullying that been going on for 200 years

?kissing up to the dangerous dictator ?10 is insanity and dangerous for all. \nYou on the other hand, Prime Minister, are doing a great job standing up for your population whereas the lying?and his antagonist ? side kick are detrimental for Americans and perhaps those that voted for him will finally see him for what he is, A NARCISSIST BULLY.

As an American, I FULLY support Canada's response to these idiotic and extremely damaging tariffs levied by the US. Someone MUST stand up to his tyranny, and not bow down this bully.

Proud of you Canada standing up morally and to a bully boy in trump. Well done

Europe stands with Canada. This is how you stand up to bullies!
