PM Trudeau, together with the Canadian people, thank you for taking a stand, not backing down and act accordingly. Realizing it will have serious consequences for all, Canadians and Americans alike. I hope we’ll stand as straight from Europe. The democratic world should work together and unify efforts to take measurements to show we will not be pressured either by the US or Russia.

Thank you, CANADA, for standing strong against U.S. / Trump. But do not give credit to Trump as being a smart person. The world is figuring out how narrow minded he is.

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

As an American, Thank you PM Trudeau for standing up for your people. I only wish we Americans had someone like you to protect our interests. God Bless!

So proud of our PM, I love watching him, he's pissed! We really aren't that nice. Especially when attacked by an unhinged lunatic. Stay mad Justin, and thank you for standing up for all Canadians.

President Trudeau- Thank you for standing to Trump when our own politicians won't. ❤

This guys is a joke! Thank you trump for stand up for us. ❤

That's my Prime Minister! Thank you for standing up for our beautiful country JT, I will be sad to see you go ???

Thank you Canada for standing up to the bully occupying the American people's house when the entire Republican party is unwilling and too cowardly to. This American stands with you.

Dear Canada: We do not stand with the fucktards who are in office trying to destroy everything that America is. Please know that. Thank you for being our friend ♥️??

Thank you, Canada, for standing up against our despicable leader. We deserve every bit of this, and from other countries as well. I apologize to the world on behalf of America. I didn’t vote for this nut house. I am sorry it has happened.

I support Canada ?? ❤ thank you for standing up to Trump because noone in our country has the brass too.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

We're so proud of you, Prime Minister Trudeau!! Thank you for taking a stand against Trump and his tariff nonsense. The only people who will be hurt by this are the middle class. Tanking the economies of democratic countries so Trump can buddy up to a dictator is disgusting???

Excellent for Canada! Many Americans do not support the orange felon at all. He is a russian asset and has been since the early 80's. He is a liar and a con man. Thanks to PM Trudeau for standing strong against the horrible actions of our so called President. We are ashamed and so sorry.

We’re with you Canada!!! Thank you for saying the truth and standing for your country!!! \nEmbarrassed American here!!

Thank you for standing up to this tyrant and his den of thieves. I did not vote for this monster.

We are SO SORRY, Canada! \nThere are MILLIONS of American’s who feel the same… “Make it make sense?!” Thank you Canada for years of wonderful relations. This is what the people want to continue. Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth and speaking directly to us and our current, unfortunate leadership with facts and decorum. We applaud you standing your ground. Stay strong against our bullying government. It’s a sad, sad time. ❤️‍?

Ugh, I was born in the wrong country. Thank you for standing up to Trump, we need more leaders to do this. The Americans that bought the lies and fear and hate mongering and voted for Trump need to be woken up to actual facts and reality.

i am an immigrant living in Chicago. i strongly stand with Canada\n- thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau

Thanks for standing up to the right side of the history.

Thank you, President Donald Trump for finally standing up for America!! ❤️??

Thank you Trump for uniting us Canadians. Never been this proud to be one. We were there for the US during tough times and being betrayed as such. EU, embrace yourself, clearly trump has no regards to allies. This teaches all of us a lesson, we can not depend on the US for anything. Let’s see who’s gonna laugh till the end. Once we don’t depend on the US, see how much power they r gonna hold over us all. Stand up to that bully -Trump

Thank you, Canada, for standing up to the orange wacko.

??Canada WILL sustain itself! With abundant resources (oil, gas, minerals, timber, water), a strong economy, global trade, skilled labor, and food self-sufficiency, we stand strong! ???\n\nTo our American friends, thank you for standing with Canada. Your support means the world to us! We appreciate you and our shared bond as neighbors. Love you all! ❤️????\n\nCanada leads with universal healthcare, lower crime, strong social programs, stricter gun laws, better work-life balance, 18-month paid maternity leave, and stunning nature! True North, strong and free! ???\n\nWith our global allies—the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the entire Commonwealth—Canada thrives in international trade, security, and diplomacy! ????\n\nTo our American neighbors, stay safe. We’re thinking of you and standing with you through all challenges. Sending love and strength! ??❤️??

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing strong.

Those guards will at some point stand aside.... Just like the capital guards...... Thanks to Donald Trump's big fat mouth... God bless him.... But I think he needs to play Yahtzee

Thank You, President TRUMP, ICE, and Border Patrol for finally taking a STAND for AMERICA first and closing that damn border?????~:)

Nope. Let trump do his thing. Our country over everything. Thankful for a President who stands on business.

I stand behind you, Navy Cmdr. Emily Shilling, and want to thank you for your service. ?

Thank goodness there are people willing to stand up to Trump and his stand over tactics.

Thank God he is doing this! Standing up against the liberals and there crazy ideas and values!

Thank you president Trump hold firm stand strong and stand up for the United States of America

It won't affect the American consumer as the Dominican Republic stands ready immediately to fill the void due to the pending lack of Colombian produce. Thank you very much and enjoy your afternoon ☺️☺️

Thank you Colombia for standing up to the scumbag

Good job Colombia! Thanks for having the courage to stand up to this asshole.

yep thank globalization for the criminality of corporations and stockholders profit and stock holders first for 45 years and an apathetic society to afraid to stand up boycotting at least

Thank you Modiji. Also special thanks to Akshay Kuamr who said immigration officers all across the world stand up and salute you when you show them Indian passport. wah

This is an excellent video, and you are clearly a very respectful and decent person. Thank you for posting it. I only hope you will keep my comment posted here once I write it. I've written similar comments elsewhere that were automatically deleted by the person who posted the video, and I found that disheartening. I first want to address the rumour about human feces and dirty diapers being found on Canadian beaches, and I want to stand up for the people who called out Indians for doing this. Somebody saw something. Maybe they weren't able to produce any legal proof of it, but they clearly saw something, and there is nothing racist about them calling out this behaviour. This practice is not only unhygienic. It is ILLEGAL in Canada; so, it absolutely should be called out publicly to prevent it from ever happening again. I have seen many videos about the culture of mass open defection in India. The videos I saw were posted by Indians themselves. One of those videos was a TEDx talk done by a woman named Sangita Vyas who discussed the truth about open defecation and that it is not limited to only the poor population. Even people who can afford to build latrines are not using them, and she explains why after interviewing Indians to ask why. I've watched Indian doctors talk online about how many Indian children die from something as simple as diarrhea every year as a direct result of the water contamination caused by open defecation. So, clearly, open defecation is legal in India, and perhaps some of these people think if it's legal at home then it must also be legal elsewhere. WRONG. It's illegal in Canada. It's unhygienic. It should never happen. Period. And there is NOTHING racist about a Canadian saying this out loud and reminding people that they must follow the rules and laws of the country they are in.

I don't care what anyone says, but Indian people, particularly (Punjabs) don't like to mixed with other cultures at all. They don't integrate with the Canadian lifestyle. They don't worked very hard, they are rude, they have no respect for other nationalities, racist as fuck, and the list goes on. I have been living in Canada for 34 years and I have never once felt isolated. Now, I feel like Canada has become India. I'm sorry, Trudeau have turned this Canada into a 3rd world Country. I missed Canadians! I don't have an issue with immigrants at all; as I am an immigrant myself from the Carribean. However, I have always respected Canadian culture and their laws. I'm sorry, India is the number one hated Country on the planet as we speak. England, Australia, & many other countries are not allowing Indian students to enter anymore. The proof is in the pudding! They are just bringing all their bad habits wherever they go. So it's not only Canada that's fed up, there are lots of Countries that cannot stand their attitude and erratic behavior. They have very low standards if you ask me.\n\nI can't wait for the day to see Canadians working the fast food &service industry again. No offense, but I rather be served by Canadians than Indians. I don't have to put up with their rudeness lack of communication skills. We all have have our opinions, but facts and numbers don't lie. Deport! Deport! Deport! I am also fed up with what they have done to this once, beautiful Country! Thank you Mr. Trudeau! The number one hated person in Canada and the worse Prime Minister is the history of Canadian politics! Indeed sad and depressing to say the least!

Canada's Obama, only the US economy started to crash in the first month of his reign. Could not stand him. But he got reelected. Thank God presidents in the US can only serve 2 terms.

THANK YOU MADAME MEXICAN PRESIDENT FOR HAVING A BACKBONE AND STANDING UP TO TRUMP UNLIKE THE SPINELESS REPUBLICANS !

Well said, and thank you for standing up for humanity ???.Praying for Palestines to stay safe in their own land ? ? ?

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?
