As a Canadian, the ONLY positive thing these tariffs have brought is unity between our Canadian party leaders and a greater commitment among citizens to put Canada first in our daily lives. Whether that be through mindful purchasing, supporting small business, creating stronger partnerships with the MANY other nations who remain our friends, or eliminating interprovincial trading barriers, we will face this challenge head-on and will come through this stronger than ever before! #canadafirst #canadaisnotforsale

I have traveled to Canada over the years and everywhere I went, the Canadians were such great people. This saddens me that our orange leader is cuddling up to a dictator.

Thank You, Prime Minister..you’re a great leader of a great country. Well said.

A true leader. Canada was lucky to have him. We’re stuck with someone who is purposely harming us and our livelihoods to benefit himself and his rich friends.

I wish we had a smart, sane leader like this. Trump has made our country look stupid.

This is how a true leader speaks!

Thank you Trudeau for being an amazing leader! If morbid obesity and age don’t take the dictator out soon I’m moving to the great COUNTRY of Canada!!!

This American would love to have a leader as smart and principled as this again. I stand with Canada.\nOne thing that I would disagree with, though. Donnie is not smart. The Orange Skidmark has some serious cerebral issues.

Now foreign leaders can speak directly to the other Nation citzens. This is very powerfull

We know most Americans are still our friends, but this leader of your country must be stopped. He is tremendously bad not just for your country and not just ours, but for our entire planet. I stand with Mr. Trudeau, we will persevere ??

as an american i am disgusted of our nation and its leaders. we are now the bad guys.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

This is the leader speaking. Not trump. I speak this as a US citizen.

Say all you want about Trudeau....he did Canada proud today. Proud to have him as a leader instead of Trump.

Now there's a leader! Superb speech ❤

Hmm isn't that nice of you Trump now the Canadian leader is looking good to PUBLIC ?? props to you Trump

As a Frenchwoman with friendly ties to the United States and Canada, I am horrified by what the Americans are doing to the Ukrainians. And I think this trade war is a splendid gift for the Chinese. What's happening to the leader of the free world ?

Wow, a leader who can talk in complete and coherent sentences. I can't remember what that was like since the last time we had that was 346 years ago.

Now this is a leader!

Wow, a leader that can speak intelligently.... I'm jealous!

A true leader who cares about his country

a leader that can speak to every side of the issue. he is such the stark contrast to who America 'elected'. Someone has to carry the torch of Democracy.

The way a leader of the free world should speak and address the nation!???

Remember, this is how a leader speaks, not like the 5 years old mentality of Trump.

OMG! A leader who speaks in whole sentences!!!!!!!

This is what a leader sounds like ,not the man that thinks he is a King when he is just a Buffoon .

Trump is shameful his dosen't even care about the American people here. It seems like his doing this for Putin l don't know if it true. His acts like Immature bully, but that doesn't make him a strong leader weak instead.

What a contrast between a real leader (Trudeau) and a crass demagogue (The First Felon). It took this moron 5 weeks to destroy 160 years of good relations. Its a disaster for both countries. Trump is a spoiled bully who has never had to suffer the consequences of his actions. We will suffer for him.

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk has the whole world by their balls. As much as Donald Trump is wrong about South Africa but as for protecting USA, he is doing what a good leader should do to protect his country and his people. Fentanyl is destroying America. Don't need to be there to know. Just search Philadelphia Streets

I wish the Divided States of America had a leader like this! Ours can’t even read.

It is so refreshing to see a real leader and not the 78 year old man child we are stuck with

That Man is my leader. Go Canada

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

Trudeau is not a leader He's a dictator you guys got to realize that.

Wish we had a leader like that in the US. Instead we have a bunch of tech bro oligarchs, propping up an old shriveled orange as their figurehead.

What a brave leader. Thank you our Prime minister, We I appreciate for your effort.????????????

This is how a leader leads. Canada gives a shit about their people and allies.

Jealous of our neighbors to the north. Must be nice to have a leader with an IQ over 50.

Good speakers are not necessarily good leaders. That's why this dude is on his way out. Tough talk from a bad leader doesn't work...again that's why he's on his way out. Do More, say less, but your time has passed.

WOW, a leader who sounds calm and educated

Isn’t this the same leader that Canada doesn’t want

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

Now that's a fucken leader!

Shame on our so called Leaders!!!!!

I'm an American, embarrassed of the actions and behavior of my fellow Americans and their leaders of the MAGA party/cult. I sincerely apologize for these idiots I seem to be surrounded by.

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

You are the most third class leader...

I feel like to be a Canadian this time, what a leader wow..\n\nIf US lost its alliance... Puttin will finished Us for his breakfast \n\nAmerica will be great again only after Trump understand tha roles and importance of alliance
