Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

Never prouder of my Canadian heritage. Thank you Mémère!

Canadian here and this comment section is bringing tears to my eyes! Thank you for your support!!! <3

As Canadian Soldiers, we fought everywhere in the world alongside Americans; two years in Afghanistan for me….that’s the thanks we get from that Trump nut case!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your courageous and truthful words. U.S. citizens know Canada isn't acting against U.S. citizens, but against the U.S. Federal government as well it should. Canadians are lucky to have you in your role. I wish we here in the U.S. had someone of your caliber in the White House.

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

So proud of you Prime Minister Trudeau!!!. Proudest moment for me as a Canadian. Hold your head high. Thank you.

as a Canadian, i would like to thank Donald and Elon for their plans to implement the most innovative degrowth agenda imaginable. why dance around the edges like Canada has with its consumer carbon tax that rebated more money to most citizens than they spent on carbon taxes ? no, the DOGE solution to addressing climate change is much better .. just cripple the three north american economies with tariffs, put hundreds of thousands of citizens out of work, and make the Trump tax cuts permanent so that the federal government is broke as well. no more money means no more spending or consuming .. it's a win for the entire planet !!

Wow! So many awesome comments of support, from around the world! This Canadian thanks you. \nMany of us are proud of our outgoing PM. He made some financial mistakes, maybe a bit TOO liberal, but there are also many detractors who I fear are caught up with the same hyperbole that captivated (and fooled) too many Americans; I hope this is a good lesson for them. \nWe will continue to stand on guard, for ourselves, and for what the world wants us to be❤

American student at a Canadian university: Thank you Canada, for speaking out. Many of us know this is wrong, and we do not blame you for the chaotic fall of the U.S. empire. I stand with Canada (and Mexico for that matter).

I L❤ve Canada ?? and Canadians are reasonable intelligent people across the board. Thank you Canada ?? for standing up to Fascism all over the world ?

You guys want a new province? I like your healthcare, cuisine, kaleidoscope of multiculturalism. Thanks ahead Canadians for your understanding.

Thank you PM Trudeau for referring to DJT by his first name and not President Trump. He doesn't deserve the latter title!! I respectfully stand with you and your Canadian citizens!! ???????????

Canadian here. Thank you, people from all over the world, for your support. And thank you Americans, our neighbours, the ones who understand this... Madness... Thank you.

Thank you prime minister for such amazing speech , to fight for all canadians and the world ! So proud to be Canadian !!!

Thank you for not backing down to 47. I know it is going to cost more, but we cannot give in to 47. I live in NH and I know a lot of Canadians usually come down here for shopping and vacations- we will miss you as you fight against these tariffs.

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

Arizonan here, and we have a large Canadian population here and they support our Arizona economy year after year. Thank you Canada for being the adult in the room. Your leadership is appreciated and needed now more than ever.

Thank you Prime Minister for this !! I can’t believe that the Leader of the Free World has now become a puppet of Putin. So proud to be a Canadian. I will no longer buy products from the USA or visit as long as Trump is President

Canadian here. We have no idea who this woman talking on behalf of Canada is. THank goodness we have Trudeau standing up for us.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

Thank you, PM Trudeau for differentiating between American citizens, who value our Canadian friends, and the insane wannabe dictator who is trying to destroy our nation.

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

We the majority of Americans do not want a trade war either and agree that fentanyl was just the 'excuse' used. Thank you for being such a good neighbor and partner in peace. I am sorry that you must do that which needs to be done, and I pray the good Americans and good Canadians will endure!

IDGAD what anyone says, Im gonna miss this guy??, but I will wish him well? thank you JT for all you did for us Canadians?

Canadian Prime Minister is a Real mature man that speaks eloquently and is intelligent and is correct and fair !!\n Beautiful speech , thank you Prime Minister, we as Middle class Americans are fighting for our survival and are scared that Trump is listening to billionaires instead of the People!!❤️???

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! An outstanding speech and yes, we as Canadians will STAND UP and FIGHT for our beautiful Country!

As an American military veteran from just south of the Canadian border here in Washington state, I support both Canada and Ukraine on the world stage. Thank you PM Trudeau for being the adult in this exchange. Best of luck to all of us, times are going to get very tough.

Thank you Justin Trudeau and all Canadians. So many of us are totally opposed to what Trump and his government are doing. This is unconscionable!!

I am proud to be Canadian and my heart is filled, that my whole country is feeling so united right now, regardless of some our political preferences. Thank you all for all your kind words and support, and I hope that our friendship and alliance with you all will strengthen as well and will last indefinitely. I SO look forward to it! Thank you Europe, UK, AUS/NZ, Mexico... and Ukraine WE STAND WITH YOU ❤???????????✌️

Prime Minister Trudeau make me proud to be Canadian today. Thank you Mister Trudeau ans God bless you and all Canadians.

Thank You Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. \nThis is what true leadership is…\nWe ??ALL stand together with you?? in this fight.?

Thank you Prime Minister and Canadian citizens. This is what it will take to stand up to bullish behavior, Trump and his Republican cronies get ready for the American People to hold you accountable during next elections.

American here who has spent 57 years visiting and loving Canada. HELP US get rid of the monsters in the White House. Thank you Canadian friends.

I still believe that Trudeau would be the best person to expose the trump north canadian running for pm. He said that he is not Maga but that is what he would say. Why would he admit that. He wants your vote. But we should take our example from the US. Beware beware. Thanks Justin.

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

As a Canadian, I'm so happy to see all the positive comments about us. Thank you, everyone.

THANK YOU TRUDEAU?? We Canadians ?? don’t have to take any abuse from the bully Nazy in USA’s presidency‼️

Trudeau government has hurt the Canadian economy for the last 8 years, thankfully, now that he is going out .He's trying to dust himself off and blame President Trump for his naive ways of governing .

Well.......thank god we don't have Americans hiding out in the Canadian Embassy in Iran at the moment.....so there's that.

Amazing the libtards actually did their job. All it took was Trump's tariffs. Actual Canadians thank you president Trump.

As a Canadian. Thanks for all the kind words. We appreciate it.

Thank you to the Americans who are supporting us. Elbows up, Canadians!

I am a US citizen and will never call felon47 my president. He cares nothing about our country or citizens not to speak of how he has lied about and treated our Canadian friends. Thank you for doing what our own legislature will not do, stand up to this tyrant. God Bless Canada, and may God save our country!

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

Thank you for being such a shining example of strong, yet level-headed and clear-eyed leader. As an American, i envy Canadians right now. Thank you for keeping the torch of Democracy alive in North America,

I would like to thank all the kind words from all over the world I see here. We as Canadians really appreciate it. It's going to be a tough time ahead for this country, but if no one else will stand up to Trump, we will.

well said Mr Trudeau, thank you for standing for Canadians
