THANK YOU, PM Justin Trudeau, for addressing the American people. I am weeping about the despicable damage the current administration has done to the strong relations we have shared!

Never felt prouder to be a Canadian ??\n“True North strong and free” “stand on guard for thee”

Are there any independent critical thinkers left out there that don't have faith in political sides?but instead live in reality? this guy has absolutely trashed Canada - and all anyone here can do is worship his manipulation? man - the brainwashing is strong stuff indeed... the people of the USA are just too easily directed- sad.

Trudeau’s time to shine. Despite the circus in Canadian parliament and Trump politics, he is standing proud and strong for the Canadian, American, and even Mexican people due to unacceptable action- cost of living is now greater and scarier.

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

We understand you have no other choice. ? Stay strong ?? Praying for you and hoping we ?? will wake up from this nightmare. ??

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Way to go Prime Minister Trudeau. Stay strong. Stay tough.\nCanada stand with your country

Hes a fucking idiot. Its all a money thing with him and thats all he thinks bout. U keep standing strong i like the way u think and work.

I may not have voted for Justin Trudeau. But I respect him for not bowing to the orange man and standing up for Canada the true north strong and free. We will get through this the world is with us ??

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

Do not buy American products. Do not travel to America. Find other trading partners and do it permanently because we can no longer trust that U.S. Their citizens made a choice to vote for a criminal and a rapist so let's move on. Canada strong. We will stand together.

Yes we are pissed at the USA, once considered our friends. Actions speak louder than words and your actions have told us we are no longer your friends. So be it! We are a strong and resilient nation and you will regret pissing all over us. Its officially on now!

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

be strong canada

Drug cartels are not terrorist organizations. They are criminal organizations. Serious ones. However it is dangerous to label anything strongly opposed by government as terrorist - unless your goal is to remove constitutional protections for that group.

Stay strong Canada. Australia overwhelmingly supports you, Europe and Ukraine against the madness coming from the white house

Canada Strong! We will fight back if provoked!

Go ?? ? I do strongly disagree with you Don is not smart he has a below room temperature IQ.

Thank you Prime Minister for the amazing speech! We will be fine. Canadians are very strong ?

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

The stupid is strong in this one

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

I wish I lived in Canada. Thank God you have a strong leader.

What a strong, fact based response. Never been more proud of Trudeau. Trump has chosen to start a trade war that is going to hurt Americans the most. Let's join hands to support local businesses by buying local when possible, even when it hurts the pocket. Standing strong with Canada ?? . We will come out strong ???

I have never been so ashamed to be an American ? It’s like Trump is trying to hurt as many innocent people as he can. He is abusing nice people like the Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau. He is hurtful to the Mexicans and immigrants as well. I was so angry with the way the Trump administration ganged up on and bullied the nice, strong Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. I loathe the Trump administration. Trudeau and Zelenskyy are vastly superior to Trump and everyone in his administration.

Yey????I love CANADA ?? ❤️. \nGo for it. Strong moral sensible intelligent country ? ? ? ?. I only buys made in Canada ??. ??

We love you Canada and support you you!!! ❤❤ we’re soooo sorry we have insane people running our government now!!! I voted for Kamala and am just as disappointed in our country as you guys ? stay strong and classy and do what you gotta do !!! It’s suxxx tht we’re in the crossfire though ??

Friends dont let illegal immigrants carry deadly drugs in to there so called friends home. We dont need friends, like that! We voted for strong leader! And Trump is our President Elect!

One thing Trump has done is to bring Canadians together, uniting us even more strongly than we’ve ever been. Elbows up Canada ??

We love you Canada , stay strong .

Canada, you are very good friend of us. Sorry for our president.Please, stay strong! We love you! We want our elected officials investigate treason of the current president of US

You spoke beautifully & strongly! Thank you Sir.

Canada... you should hang onto this man as long as you can. He's a strong, stand-up man. Apologies for the IDIOT in the U.S.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Gl Canadians be strong, and you win cause common sense on your side ????❤️

So CNN siding with a Dictator--- lets give a strong voice to Trudeau ??????

I’ve never been so Proud, or felt more patriotic, as I do at this very moment ??. We will survive, and we will stay strong. Elbows up Canada

Canada, please take note, I did not vote for the orange lump. He does not speak for me. He does not speak for a lot of us. Stay strong, and proud. The next 4 years are going to be rough, but America has been through worse and this too shall pass. Love to Canada & Ukraine. ?

Wow, Trump is seething with jealousy right now. This guy is everything Trump is not, young, strong and articulate. Not a weak minded simp and boot licking Russian sympathizer. I, as an American that served, can only wish our leader with this kind of integrity and character. Sadly, what we have is the worst moron his followers, like the brainwashed dolts they are, voted him to the highest office in the land, responsible for the wellbeing of this country.\nWe are doomed as a country if we don't do something to stop the orange idiot!

Stand strong Canada. Hopefully the idiots that are running the country will figure out what a mistake they made

One of the best speeches of modern times, you are amazing Trudeau, the only one that has stood up to this tyrany, all my love from Ireland. Stand strong Cananda, Europe is with you.

Trudeau making a strong case, but will Trump even listen? This situation is a mess, and everyday people will be the ones paying the price

From far away in Indonesia, salute to Trudeau despite initially disliking him. No offense to the US people, strong concerted global needed to tame this POTUS

As an American, I stand by my friends. History will judge us poorly. To my Canadian neighbors, please stay strong.

We in Northern Ireland support our loyal Canadians all the way.stay strong.

Canada continue to be strong let Trump know that Canada is no push over Am?erica get rid of Trump and Vance also Musk

you were never an ally, you took advantage of US, you even let China occupy many of your lands, spying from china has a strong possibility it came from your country and you did nothing about it.

As a proud American citizen I strongly support Canada ❤

Trump needs stop using blackmail and strong arming mafia tactics on his allies. He might get what he wants, but burning lots of bridges while doing so.
