Yes! Trudeau, I know this is hurting all of us. Thank you for standing against Trump. So proud of you for fighting back. Unfortunately we have to live with this jerk. He has destroyed all of us. He doesn't realize how much it is affecting the rest of the World. God Bless You and the citizens of Canada. I pray this ends soon. Stick to your beliefs. Do your best. I'm sorry to all of you for our greedy dictator. That you have to suffer because of his greediness. Not all of us believe in what he is doing.

Thank you Canada. You are the role model of how all other countries should and hopefully will react to Trumps' irrational global tariff terror.

I am Anerican & thank Canada & anyone else who stands up to trump.

US should be actually thankful that they have a neighbor like Canada who atleast doesn't sponsor and trains terrorists to carry out attacks in their homeland. I am from India, and we are literally sharing our borders with the most hostile countries. Grass is always greener on the other side, the proverb stands correct.

THANK YOU ...?I STAND WITH YOU CANADA!!??

Thank you everyone from all other countries standing with Canada and praying for us. Means a lot you guys. Thank you ❤

Thank you Canada! STOP the ?

We love you Canada! Thanks for your support against this evil takeover of our country.

Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada, thank you for your intelligent, eloquent, and compassionate response to this debacle. Blessings and hope to all the good, honest, and hard-working individuals in both of our countries. May love and logic prevail.

Trudeau’s weak leadership has hurt Canada, especially in energy and trade. Now, thanks to his failures, we’re vulnerable to Trump’s policies.

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

PM Trudeau probably didn't thank us enough today. And he is wearing a suit. Why mess with Canada? ughhhhh

God bless Canada. USA please make it right. Thank you.

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

Proud of my Prime Minister. Handling the situation like a champ. Thank you Americans for supporting Canada, we support you as well and I sincerely hope that we will be able to solve this. Donald is such a shame for the whole world… unreal.

Great, thank you great people of Canada. Greetz from Czech republic.

Dear Canada, most of us who have half a brain, are disgusted about not only tariffs but everything else that is being destroyed. Hopefully, this will pass with upcoming Administrations. We love Canada and it's people. thank you for your patience.

I stand with Canada always. Thank you Mr Trudeau. Please keep up the message. God Bless You.

Thank you! I need to move to Canada ❤❤

Thank you everybody who is not Canadian that is supporting Canada. You really see us thank you.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

As a Canadian ?? I want to thank the Amaracians ?? that are showing support for Canada ??

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

Spew dough will thankfully be gone so Canada can rebuild after his disastrous time in office.

Slightly less than half of us are completely horrified by our government. Don’t blame ya one bit Canada. Much respect and thanks for the friendship over the years. Hope somehow we can regain trust in the future. ??

Thank you Canada. ❤

Canada has the weakest courts in the free world. Thanks to Trudeau canada is a third world country. He also likes rent boys and cocaine.

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine! Thank you Mr. Trudeau ?❤️❤️❤️ \nDonald should resign!

Thanks Justin. As a 64 year old Montrealer I remember when you were born. I even met your Dad a couple of times. Well done. Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada ??

Thank you Canada

Thanks Canada for standing up. Feeling worried for us here in USA.

Thank you, Canada! Sorry for our childish president.

Thanks sir and thanks to everyone supporting Canada

All you idiots that praise Justin Trudeau are not Canadians. This POS is the reason that Canada's middle class is now poor and suffering. There's no worse person than a liberal who talks nice but makes empty promises. Our cost of living is through the roof, our economy is tanked, our infrastructure is 30 years behind. We have now become a third world country thanks to clowns like this.

PM Trudeau, thank you for your honesty and respect for Americans and your own Canadians. Donald does not represent America’s values. I stand with Canada ??.

Good bye America ! Canada wants nothing from you . Sad to see friends split up , ???????Thank you Trumpy!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! Canada stands strong and free. Thank you to all the supporting comments for Canada, appreciated so much❤️??????

The lies, the misinformation, and the senseless attacks on Canada is all we have heard and felt, so thank you for sharing the facts with the American people! Not sure why they want to get rid of this guy but he is what America needs in this moment!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

I am an American citizen and I stand with you Canada!!! Thank you for protecting yourself and those of us not blind to the very obvious corruption.

Trudeau is nothing more than a lame duck cry baby. Instead of thanking the United States for all the years Canada was allowed to ride its coattail, he talks as if he can actually do something. Canada is nothing without the United States and with a response like this, it proves just how ungrateful they are. It’s about time we have a President who stands up against nations talking advantage of our country.

Nearly 73,000 comments in 8 hours, and so much support for Canada. As a Canadian, I am profoundly grateful, thank you all so much! We didn't want this, but we're in it with everything we've got.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

Canada- Strong today-Stronger Tomorrow!! Never been prouder to be Canadian. Thank you PM Trudeau!!!

Trudeau speaks truth in such an eloquent and coherent manner that what he says is indisputable. Thank you Canada, and sorry for the #$&! Where's our Trudeau?
