Seen from overseas in Europa I can only say that Trudeau's speech is excellent. Canadians can be vrey proud to have a Prime Minister like him. Trump on the other hand is like a kid playing with matches. US americans are not the problem Trump is the problem.

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

Canadians! Be proud of your PM!

As a Canadian I am so proud it’s also been heartwarming to see the level of support from everyone around the world it means a lot!

Canadians should be PROUD. What a nation, unite. Massive respect.

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❤

As a proud Canadian, I always admired the USA and felt lucky to be your neighbor, visited often... Sad to see this happen.

I am very proud Canadian

Im proud canadian-british

I've never been so proud to be Canadian... wait, I'm American.... :/

Europe is with you, Canada! The free world needs to band together against tyrants. We will survive by facing evil together, hand in hand (no homo), head-on. I'm proud of you Canadians! Keep it up!

We Canadian United and Proud, we will Not allow to step over…………. Button!

Proud to be Canadian. Great job Mr Trudeau. ❤❤

I'm from Montreal but live in Vermont. I hold Canadian AND American citizenship. I've NEVER been so proud to be a Canadian. Yet, here in Vermont, MOST of us, including Governor Scott, detest Trump and his minions. Love 'n optimism, Heather in Newport Vermont

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

Canadian, be proud of your Prime Minister! Comparing to your neighbors who voted for a clown as president.

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.

We Canadians are tough. I am very proud of Canada.

This will hurt Canadians AND Americans. The difference is, Canadians are unified, motivated, pissed off, willing to sacrifice, proud and the world is on our side. Whereas Americans are divided, paralyzed, disillusioned, weak willed, ashamed and the world hates you.

I’m proud Canadian❤???

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??

I’m French Canadian and proud ?? ? I live in US but did NOT vote for trump

I am a proud Canadian. Well said Trudeau. CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE.

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, you have to be proud of your self that you've got a good, smart, and polite leaders

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

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.

I am damn proud of our PM! Super proud to be a Canadian ??

My country I have never been more proud of our leaders than I am today! ?? Civilized, clearly articulated intelligent speach like our fellow Brits, France, Germany ect! \n\n That IS what it looks and sounds like to be a civilized leader of a country! No name calling, gaslighting, intimating, aggressive lies! All truth! All facts! And all the Canadian way! ???????????? ect Unite!!

Congratulations on such a well put together speech, we as Canadians are very proud of you

Regardless of how you feel about Trudeau, this was a brilliant retort to Trump’s bullshit trade war. I felt even more proud to be a Canadian after hearing this serious pushback from Trudeau. Very well said.

I know Trudeau isn't popular with all Canadians, but they can be proud of him today. Canadians are good people. This is an embarrassed American standing with you.

I'm so proud of this guy and I'm not even Canadian. But I love Canada.

Stand with Canada, nothing more than proud to be Canadian ??

What an amazing speech from our prime minister. Proud to be Canadian ❤️

✊?✊ Proud to be Canadian today. Well done Trudeau! ✊?✊

That’s my Prime Minister! Proud to be a Canadian always, but especially today. His counterpart in the US is a bully and a sexual predator.

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!

Effective speech, Mr. Trudeau. We are proudly Canadian and stand with you.??????

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

I am very proud to be a Canadian

Woo hoo JT! Proud of you. The world is proud of you. Trump has now made life difficult for both sides of the border. Americans and Canadians do not want this for each other. Trump has never lived in the real world, he doesn’t care about families. He’s an old @sshole who only thinks in zero sum games, and that’s not negotiation folks!

I’m from the uk ! If your a Canadian you must be mighty proud Trudeau talking so articulately and powerfully this is a true leader someone trump could learn from ????

Iam a Proud Canadian born & rasied in Winnipeg,

I am Canadian and proud of this Gentleman. This is how we do it.

Canadians are doing themselves proud by hunkering down and unifying the Country against this madness, so keep it up but don't lose your polite and friendly approach to life....be assured the rest of the free world is with you

Oh wow. What a gentlemen and how respecful his message is. Very, very true what he said. This guy, I will be proud to have him as my president. Go canadians.

Canadians can be so proud of this PM and all the government! !! We are all on one side and stick together. Greetz from Germany\n?? ?? ??

I'm proud to be a Canadian even though I am American. This is a true leader!
