Im so proud of our Prime Minister Trudeau for fighting our beautiful country Canada. God bless Canada.

It is very sad that Trudeau waited until he was having the door slammed behind him to actually get a backbone. While his words sound great - they mean nothing. He will not be our Prime Minister for long. He literally has about 2 weeks. It’s the equivalent of taking a dump on your bosses desk because you won the lottery. No consequences.

As a Canadian we don’t support this corrupt prime minister who destroyed canada. He’s the reason we are getting punished. This spineless man is the reason people in canada suffer because he’s a terrible leader!

The American people love you, Prime Minister.

Canadian Prime Minister a breath of fresh air and intelligent cohesive speech.

Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

As a Canadian I am very proud of the way our Prime Minister handled himself. Reading all the kind words from Americans and citizens around the world it gives me hope that there is still good in this world. Thank you ??

I have to disagree with a point made by the Prime Minister; Donald Trump is not a smart guy. He's a dangerous moron and a con man. I don't know what else we Americans need to see to learn this plain truth. If I were Canadian, regardless of my political persuasions, this is a speech and a stance to be proud of.

You are no more Prime Minister, no need to worry, you are friend of non. Canada will have huge problems due to your corrupt leadership.\n\nCanadian are good people .

Why has it taken until today for Justin Trudeau to talk like a man (like a Prime Minister); to speak like politics was not just about the liberals, but actually about our country and the United States.

And please educate D T that Our Prime Minister Trudeau should not insulted by calling him Governor.

Be strong Canada, like Ukraine! Canadians, you must all unite and support the Prime Minister. You have a smart, well-mannered, educated leader!

Mr. Prime Minister: We Americans do not want this trade war any more than you do. It sickens us that Trump is turning against our neighbor and close ally. You understand what is at stake far better than Trump does.

Mr prime minister sir, as an American I do not support any of this. Both of our countries will suffer.

I am so proud of Canada and the Prime Minister. As an American, and respect and support this professional and empathic acknowledgement to this hideous tariff war. Americans are watching a mature leader, addressing several nations. The Heritage foundation is reckless and feeding Dfrump.

So proud to be CANADIAN ?? to have such an educated PRIME MINISTER who can insult others without violence

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

Oh my!! No need to raise your voice Prime Minister! ?\nGonna need more than that.

Bravo Mr. prime Minister Trudeau! Much respect from this American citizen!! Trump is a stain on our nation!!!!!

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

why is Justin even speaking? he has already resigned as the worst prime minister in our history! one last flush to get that turd to go down. election already. we are so done with you liberals destroying Canada . US tariffs =25%additional tax onto Canadians using US products =MORE TAXES to Canadians. tax me harder liberal so I can work more

Prime Minister Trudeau did great job of standing up to bullies from south.

The Canadian Prime Minister got one thing wrong....Donald is a very stupid person.

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

Says the RESIGNED Prime Minister ???

Trudeau as prime minister should have paid his dues a long time ago but he did nothing for Canada

He’s my Prime Minister!!! ??. Canada has done everything trump wanted but trump (true to form) has moved the goal posts. He never intended to honour his agreement with my country. ??. He’s a dishonourable man and he violated his own free trade agreement with Mexico the US and Canada. We are moving on from trusting the US. I’ve cancelled plans to vacation in the US. I will only buy Canadian or from our trusted allies (EU China Japan etc). I love the US but there are some very bizarre and stupid people in your country. Your greatest weakness. God help us all.

My husband and I are seniors and we will be applying for citizenship in Canada. We are wanting a leader like the Prime Minister who does look out for the common people NOT an impeached felon who is definitely supporting the Billionaires. This wicked so called President only cares about the Billionaires and methods how he can take advantage of your blue collar workers. It just sickens me that our Vets fought for our freedoms and some made the ultimate sacrifice.

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Finally, our dear Prime Minister, you stopped being nice and polite. Being firm and direct in this matter is exactly what Canadians need

I wish Trudeau was staying on as Prime Minister. Canada has a very intelligent and strong leader now. What we have in the US is absolutely abysmal. Americans are already suffering due to the idiocy and bullying tactics of the current government here..Donald.

11:55 of course trump was not interested in doing a LEGAL minerals deal with Canada, he would rather join putin and STEAL President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people mineral wealth. That is the ONLY reason putin invaded Ukraine. For Ukraine mineral wealth ? much love from The Bahamas to President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people ??????? keep fighting for your country and democracy. Hats off to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing firm against trump and doing the right thing #glorytoUkraine #TheBahamas #242ToTheWorld #Canada

This is a leader thank you Prime Minister your concise and definitive explanation is why I voted and still support you.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

Long live CANADA!!! salute to your prime minister who can stand up to a bully!!

Paula Newton, you’re correct, how dare Trudeau talks to US citizens directly or addresses “Donald” directly, after Canadians have been told we’d make a great 51st State and our Right Honourable Prime Minister has been called a “governor”!\n\nThe AUDACITY!\n\nElbows Up, Canada!

A bit rich calling him a Dictator considering the way you run your country Mr Prime Minister

Prime Minister we're sorry for all of those craps from a puppet we have in office not a president

Please someone provide me the name of the woman next to the Prime Minister because I felt like her, and I’m American ?

Standing with Canada from Australia. The only way to treat a bully is strength. Chapeau Prime Minister Trudeau

The Prime Minister is amazing. How I wish we had President Kamala at the helm instead the orange antichrist.

As an American, thank you Prime Minister!

Can someone tell the MAGA and republicans to watch this prime minister, may be they will understand.

That is my prime minister so much respect for you... canada is worth dying for.. we will not be bullied by Donald

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

From Indonesia ?? we stand with Canada ?? well said Prime Minister Trudeau ??

Total respect for our Prime Minister today.\n\nDonold, you can Take Off, you Hoser!\n\nAnd you Americans I say, hey folks, lets work this out eh.

I’m a canadian and I wish the prime minister would stop talking out his a** and actually help stop illegal immigrants from stealing our jobs

The first time ever I feel Justin Trudeau speaks like our Canadian prime minister.
