Canadian here. Trudeau, well said and I hope the other global leaders stand up to Donald. To my American friends- it’s time you stand up and show your disapproval for the direction Donald is taking. This is and will be a significant set back in your security and the trust other countries have in America. Stand up, Speak up!

Son of a WW2 vet , miss my dad daily , was laid to rest on Nov11th . Glad he is not alive to see this . ????< Our friends > not our friend ??

Shut up Trudeau why are you still taking? The closet friend? Your tariffs on the USA are stupid high. Go away!

Even my friends won't speak to me like that. Money makes people angry.

So sorry to our Canadian friends, we are stuck with a fool.

How many times Donald declared bankruptcy? Looks like under him his country will go bankrupt. He is becoming friends with Putin, who is everyone's enemy and turning his friends and allies into foes. I was happy when he came to power and now I am sad for everyone including the Americans.

Governor Trudeau, you have no right to complain. You have imposed illegal economic sanctions on other countries to please your bosses and the globalist elite knowing that what you were doing was illegal and unconstitutional just justified by economical and military power. Now suck it up and fight back if your bosses let you. Kissinger said loud and clear. Being usa friend is dangerous, being their boot licker is fatal.

to our American friends if you are unhappy with your new dic president please help Canada by coming on a ski trip or holiday or just bur Canadian this would help us out and undermine this terrible mistake of a president

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

Make Canada Great always.\nBe united. \nGod has bellesed Canada with maximum natural resources in this beautiful world, including beautiful hearts of its people.\nThis temted your Close friend America to make you 51st state.\nWhy canadian people have to cross over to america illegally.\nStop dancing on the tune of American leaders.\nhistory shows that Canada always stands with America.

I'm sorry, Mr Trudeau. I don't think Donald understands working together, fundamentally, as a concept. Appeals to partnership and friendship fall on the deaf ears of a narcissist. Are you still accepting applications for new provinces? I heard you might be interested in WA state or Oregon. Asking for a friend.

DT problem is deficit.\nThe misunderstanding is trade to reduce it...\n to balance it ..but the winner has to give.. that's what friends want ..

Why are we beefing with Canada bro wtf, you guys are our best friend

I love Canadian people; they're amazing people. I have friends from there. Canada.

This doesn't make any sense. We are the closest of friends. Why are we ratcheting up tension with Canada?

I don’t need Canadian Whiskey or Maple Syrup. Welcome 51st State. \n\nEurope is still buying Russian oil , while giving loans to Ukraine. Funding both sides of destruction. Make that make sense. Keep your friends close and enemies closer.

I am your friend & ally. I’m so sorry, Mr. Trudeau, the Canadian & Mexican people. ??

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!

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

The true Americans stand with our friends in the north. These cultists that have hijacked the country are no true Americans.

Speaking as an American in the Detroit area, we are sorry this is happening! Contrary to what the Trump administration is saying, the majority of Americans DID NOT vote for him or this utter BS. We are watching in horror. We know Canada, Mexico and Europe are our friends and allies, no matter what spin Trump spews out

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau!! \nYou are definitely OUR FRIEND!!!

Dump was trying to end nato last time in office. He trying for the new world order! Even Russia and China making friends. Brut they elected him

trump doesn't care, he duped his followers and now hes free to plunder the us and fill his rich friends and families pockets

I’m a CAN/US dual citizen, my feelings are pretty mixed… but this time, I’m standing with Canada. Big thanks to those American friends who are standing with Canadians.

As an American, I sincerely apologies to Canada. You all are our friends and closest allies. We are sorry the orange thing is in power.

You have balls my friend.

Lol Canadians will fight huh? You ride the coat tail of America and think we're friends. We're the people who empower your economy and protect your freedoms. You would think you would want to help us pay off our debt and generate our own revenue.

AWESOME CANADA KNOWS TRUMP & FRIENDS CORRUPT AS FARK FROM THE TOP DOWN ? TRUMPS 4 THEMSELVES NOT THE PEOPLE BACKING UP PUTIN CORRUPT AS FARK

Behold muricans friends. This is how a true leader behaves. Sadly you had elected a gangster.

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

Regards from Finland. We just joined Nato, seeking for friends and allies. This is where we are now. Biggest NATO country literally bullying everyone else BUT Russia. This is insanity.

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Trump will destroy world peace he is attacking his friends and ally's and appeasing putin trump will be the one that starts ww3 just watch

From EU to Canada. Here we stand for our friends. We may not have enough guns right now, but we are the second biggest economy in the world. You are welcome to do business with us.

To our British friends commenting below, could you tell YOUR Prime Minister, Mr. Starmer to show a little more support for us here in Canada, he's not super popular here at the moment but we would love to give him a second chance.

The people praising Trudeau are idiots. Pretty speeches are not leadership or competence. \n\nCountries don’t have “friends.” They have interests, and it is not in the U.S. interest to subsidize Canada to the tune of >$200 billion per year.

Did I read somewhere that 80% of the fertilizer America uses for farmers comes from Canada?\n\nI note that Canada stated they will give a targetted response at Trump friendly states Florida for ranges etc. Looks like America wants to go it alone.

I’m a us citizen and I’m urging my president to not impose any tariff to Canada because we both countries are a very good friends and neighbors.Canada is always in support of us and vice versa so please Mr.trump stop your tariffs to Canada.please do not break relations with Canada and Europe.thank you.

Im old enough to remember when Russia was the enemy...i believe Reagan called them the evil empire...and a few decades later conservatives are all friendly with Putin

In Canada asked this man to resign? He's the best representative of that country my friends from Canada you should reconsider letting this man go is way more articulate than our moron in Chief our orange headed prize

Putin is a real leader for Russia. You are an embezzler & corrupt. we are sick and tired to have to pay the way for all our so called friends. Mutual friendship is what Putin offers.

Boycott all US affiliated companies and products here in Canada friends!

To be an enemy of the United States is sometimes dangerous but to be a friend is always fatal! ?

Many Americans still consider Canadian our friendly neighbor. Many of us did not vote for that demented psycho conman felon. Do what needs to be done including turning off the power at the White House. We can only wait it out until our next election for senators and congress. MANY republicans are already furious and will vote blue.

The best American mistake was when they voted for the old arrogant President. His minions will destroy America and other friendly allies will become foes.

I don't think I've ever seen or heard Trudeau this angry before. Justifiably so. I hate that your government has done this but Canada will not back down. There is no real justification for these tarrifs other than Donald trying to take our land and resources. \n\nYou can think what you want about Trudeau, but he is absolutely correct. These tarrifs, this trade war against a long time ally, partner, and friend, is indeed a very dumb thing to do.

God, trump is so mad. It's sad really, USA was our friend.

Sane America here supporting Trudeau! I apologize for this disaster in the white house. There is no reason for this other than to line the pocket of Trump's billionaire friends.

Dear America, here you can see how a real Statesman argues! I love that speech of Trudeau. Alienating your friends that helped you secure your hegemony over the world for the past decades is very Donald Dumb.
