Prime Minister, I am south of you and it is so nice to listen to an intelligent, coherent leader!

USA and Canada size of both are difference. Like China size vs South Korea size. Like China-South Korea relationship..\nUSA and UK size of both are difference. Like China size vs Japan size. Like China-Japan relationship version.

If your country wasnt so cold, I'd move there . Unlike the hippes that fled there during the conflict of South Vietnam

Uuuh the canadians got mad?\nIf i were Trump I would be running to the south pole with the penguins. He will have not american continent to run away to.

Due South

I apologize to my neighbors to the north and the south. I did not vote for Spray Tan, and I do not condone any of this.

We should make both countries prosperous and no tariffs. Work to help our neighbours south also.we can be still one have a tremendous amount of respect for our neighbours south. Love their country as we do ours . We are proud Canadians as our neighbours are proud Americans.

Trump is an embarrassment. He is completely UN- USA. He doesn't even realized Canada, Mexico, Central and South American, are all Americans. Canada you are right and I stand with you. These are such sad times.

I never thought I would be proud of my Prime minister. But Today I stand tall and proud with my government, and feel bad for my brothers and sisters south of us who didnt vote this felon back in. He disrespected so many people in so little time its impressive that some people lacks intelligence and still think he is a fit leader for the free world.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Whow, you know what it means in non canadian level? Its like he burns Trump photo in live TV.\nNow for distancing yourself more Canada from your crazy neigbor in the south: fight inequality in your country and poverty and choose indegenouse woman for your next president.\nBest wishes

American here. We don't want trouble either man. The Beef should had been with Mexico and illigals from the south. But never would i had thought he attack our friendly neighbor north. Really corny if you ask me. Please Trump, work with Canada. They are our Friends. We need Eachother.

GO TRUDEAU!!!!!\nAnd GO ?? CANADA.\n\nIn the UK we love the ?? USA! Of course we do! Trump, Vance and Musk are utter nuggets, one is a fool, one is a South African Neo Nazis and one is an angry twat! \n\nNo F@CK TRUMP! Bollocks to Tesla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nLove ❤ to Canada ?

A brilliant speach. He will be missed as prime minister as the world currently needs leaders like him, who stand up against this weird guy in the south of Canada. \nCanada, we are with you. \nGreetings from Germany.

Yeah, you're right. I should move south.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

USA is a consumer society. If USA wants to bring the deficit down then it should consume less. By the way following are the deficits US have by each country in order. Why trymp is not targeting Vietnam, Germany Ireland Japan or South Korea? \n \nChina $295.35 B \nMexico $171.86 B \nVietnam $129.38 B \nGermany $88.01 B \nIreland $87.23 B \nJapan $72.35 B \nSouth Korea $69.92 B \n \nCanada has $63.3 B trade deficit and mainly due to oil demands in US. All US has to do was to buy less oil from Canada and it would have worked out. US coming after Canada and putting an economic war because it want to acquire Canada. He is learning land grabbing from his friends, you know who is grabbing land in world from sovereign countries. \n \nThis may be the last election US had.

Question: if we’re (USA) is North America, Mexico is in Central America, and Brazil is in South America, is Canada North, North America? Just asking.

We real Americans are wirh you they are nazt and with I fuk south african

We the South African given full support to Canada, we will all survive this in time. Our country is also targeted by America, and causing racial division but we chose to unite as SAns in protecting the country we all love. Oh God, how did we get here? ?

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

Turn there power off. You will get a call in less then 24 hours from the USA. And do not send our planes to put out the fires in South Carolina if they want our help they need to pay for it because our Canadian workers do not work for free

Trudeau shows strength and empathy, not like the bully south of the border who spreads lies and hatred. Trudeau is constructive, Trump is destructive!

European Union here, Czech Republic. We stay with us Canada, we stay with you! And let's bypass Trump's America with Mexico and the whole South America as our allies too. BTW the Arab league can be our friends too and many countries in Africa and Asia, South Africa and Australia as well. Let us not be dominated anymore, let us finally freely cooperate!

I think that the USA will soon find itself all alone in the world. Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. are just seeing that you can't rely on the usa.\nThese countries will reorient themselves. China will be happy.

Poor Kentucky, also now North and South Carolina in the midst of wildfires(must not have raked their forests)! Your choice did this to you! The Convict-in-chief cares nothing for his supporters!

Justin, where were you in the last few years?? Now you sound like a leader! Give him Hell!! Cut the power going south if required. I don't care at this point.

As he thinks so little of Canada's long friendship and a 100 some years of protecting the Americans back, I'm beginning to think we should be doing the opposite. Reduce efforts at the border and let the foreign immigration, crime and drugs flow south into the USA. It's no longer our responsibility to protect their back.

lol we get enough lies from our own government we don’t need any other county trying to govern us as well. Trump is changing things. It’s not the same government you’ve pansied with for the last 4 years. Get your big boy panties on Trudeau. You have no one to border your country except the us dummy. You don’t have the Mexican cartel coming from the south that has to get through the USA first.

As a Canadian I just want to say to our friends in the south. We love you, We want the best for you, but we need to do this. Its your president, NOT YOU!

I promise we didn’t choose this either ?‍♀️!! We love and support our neighbors to the North and South no mater what our government is trying to make us believe!! We wish all Canadians and Mexicans the best and will continue to support you despite our president!! Much❤️ from Colorado

Didn't the South Park movie predict this a long time ago?

I'm a South African. you can't start a war with every country. at the end of the day we all need each other to survive. Donald started with South Africa and i must tell you guy's... we doing just fine i promise you. this won't be easy but trust me eventually things will be way much better than before.

Well, we in South East Asia prefer that you, friends, fighting each other. Keep up the fighting please. If you, friends, are fighting, you leave us alone. You won't incite us to fight among our own friends. With you fighting among, friends, we can actually have our peace. It is for the good of the world. Keep yourselves in your part of the world.

I'm South African and I stand on the side of democracy and Ukraine and Palestine. we love maple syrup. Grew up watching canadian cartoons. We loath Trump and especially SA born Elon Musk for spreading lies about SA, for trying to take over gaza and supporting genocide/ apartheid in Israel

From South Africa ?? we stand with Canada

Canada must diversify its trading partners now and in the future.Let this on going trade war be a lesson to us.\nSupport our country,let's buy Canadian products only.We shall survive the wrath of the DEVIL FROM THE SOUTH.

How dare our president and his cronies blame Canada for the US drug addicts demand for drugs from our southern borders. All the drug cartels in Mexico. Central America and South America would not be smuggling their drugs to the United States of America if there isn't a demand for it. Suddenly, it's Canadians fault?!

If I were Canada I'd start building a wall to keep the Americans out. S***'s going south here real quick. This time next year we're all going to be speaking Russian.

As a resident of South Park, I say Blame Canada.

I'm South African and tredua a poes?

I never thought I would be more supportive of a government imposing tariffs on us than my own government, but hey Trump aligning the US with Putin and starting unnecessary and harmful trade wars with our allies is moronic and treasonous. The GOP used to be the party of free trade. That was literally their main plank for 40 years, and an idiot comes along who doesn't understand basic facts, such as how tariffs work, imposes them willynilly and vindictively, and the spine-challenged Congress rolls over without so much as a whimper. Meanwhile, an illegal immigrant from South Africa fires the people looking after our nuclear weapons, because he's also an idiot. And their fans lap up their clear treasonous acts.

I am very glad our prime minister has stepped up and pushed back hard with what the orange predator down south and his puppet master, Putin, have forced on us. I have no doubt that this is going to be hard economically for us, but is a necessary step. Together, as a sovereign nation, we can weather this \n storm. Im very proud of how much Canadians have stepped up to support local and Canadian companies over American products. As our national anthem says, we stand on guard for thee. That includes all Canadian, no matter what skin color or background we are. United we are, and always will be, a force not to be pushed around.

This Scot forever stands behind you Canada. These fuckwits south of the border have lost respect and friends across the world.

Elect PP you will get the same shitshow that is down south. The International Democratic Union which backed both of Trumps campaigns, the neo nazi party AfD party in Germany, is backing the Conservatives. What Trump wants is PP to come in and hand over Canada to US. They want our resources, rare earth minerals and our water. Pierre P has stated in the past that he admires Trump. PP is scary and backed by our enemies….enemies who hate democracy

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Proud Of Canadian & Our Friends South Were Brothers In Arms

How smart and intelligent leader Canadians have, we south Asians can just think and beg for this kind of a leader, god bless Canada and its people.

tRump is a liar, greedy, and corrupt idiot. I am considering moving to Canada from South Dakota. I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the USA. I feel like tRUMP and is wife are Russian assets. I have deep respect for Trudeau and his Dad.

Absolute support here to Canada from Scotland UK, also representing South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. ?????????????????
