Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

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 ?? ??????????????

I will also stand up for any Canadian any time any place.. please make California one of your provinces

He said “he would stand up for Canadians “ … LOL … yep, Justin, that’s why they are getting rid of you.

I'm an American and support Canada and all Canadians ?! Stand up to the incompetent and pathetic POS wannabe president derelict decrepit trump.

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.

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

I as Canadian stand with Canada & Canadian Government. All points raised are Valid.\n USA imposed sudden & thoughtless changes in Trade.

Buffalonian here, and a woman who met her husband in the U.S Marine Corps. I am disgusted and disappointed with America right now. Canadians, we stand with you.

I am almost convinced that I would rather seek a Canadian Citizenship than remain a US citizen. I stand united with Canada. Trump and Vance are disingenuous. Elbows up

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

You know you messed up when you pissed off the Canadians, eh? I stand with Canada.

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.??????

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

As a Canadian i will follow exactly what our pm and leaders will ask to do . Stand together stand strong .

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

Dear Canada with love from your other neighbor Greenland/Denmark,\n\nWe stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and from my Danish perspective you are a more European country than a country in North America and I hope to see the Canadian flag, together with our Danish. in Brussels at the EU headquarters where you mediate into our common European family EU ...\n\nDear Canada you are just as naturally an EU country as Germany and France and my Denmark is,

Who cares wqhat girly boy Trudeau has to say. Tell him to go send his troops to steal more gasoline from truck drivers that were using it to keep their families from freezing to death, after showing they were ready to stand in solidarity. How quickly the canadians forget what a dictator looked like when the truckers showed their displeasure. How quickly they are sheep.

I'm not a fan of Justin Trudeau by any means, HOWEVER... Hearing his speech just now filled me with pride to be Canadian and standing up to the new autocratic fascist government of our southern neighbour. I've watched over the last +/- 40 days the UnUnited States of America devolve into Russia's lap dog, with Putin's excrement on Orange Man's face on a near daily basis. I hope that whatever good people left down there can rise up and take back their country ASAP, otherwise the entire world will suffer the catastrophic consequences!

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 ❤???????????✌️

I'm a Canadian, and i stand with America.

Proud of our Canadian cousins for standing up for themselves & against the crazyness of that lunatic dictator! Well defended by PM Justin Trudeau. Love & Support from France.

I have so much respect for how the Canadians have stepped up for their democracy and their core values as a nation! They have done so with so much respect and passion, and it has given me hope that we will get through this. Much love from Scotland, we stand with you! ??????? ????

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Props to Trudeau and all Canadians alike from Portugal, huge respect for you guys. Stand strong

“We will stand up for Canadians” by spending lots of Canadians taxes.

As an American all I can say is I don't support this and I stand with the Canadian people on this...more Americans opposed than supported this stupid move, Trump is a Traitor in my eyes and a stupid one at that.

??America loves you Canada our president doesn’t reflect our entire country and what we stand on AMERICA STANDS FOR 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.

I’ve never met one single Canadian that I didn’t find kind and respectful. Canada, I am embarrassed of our government’s actions and I stand with you!??

Brave! Proud of you PM Trudeau and the rest of our Canadian leaders for standing up to Trump

Stand tall and do not bend the knee. The northern states should do more to fight Trump. This will hurt them. Remember Bellingham when the Canadian dollar was $1.50. Bellingham shut down and jobs were lost.

Id have to guess that most of Canadians stand with America! They want to join as the 51st state!

Donald trued to squeeze Ukraine financially so he can get their natural resources, and his friend putin, can add it to his country, Donald is trying to do the same to Canada, it was always a deceptive excuse given through the media, knowing full well he was NEVER going to keep his word. Canadians are bigger than you and your pets at the Whitehouse. We have morales, values, and integrity and will never let you win. What the trump administration stands for is very clear from the type of individuals running it and the type of friend it is keeping. B

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

As a Canadian, I stand with Canada.

I mean, I’m not Canadian, but I would be proud to be, with a speech like that! \nI stand with Canada?? ??

Your a mutt trudeau, you had time to stand up for Canadians by strengthening boarder and closing your ties with Chinese drug cartels. You're only gaslighting which too many Simps believe

GO TRUDEAU - As an American I strongly support your position and stand with you and the people of Canada. We Americans are currently being held by the iron fist of a mad man who conned his way into our government with his lies and deceit. We will fight him at every turn, EVERY time. These people have CLEARLY forgot that the government is by the people and FOR the people. Instead, they've chosen to use the government and the people of the U.S. for their benefit ALONE. We will not tolerate this. Consider this American CANADIAN at heart

I stand with Canadians! We love the Canadians! So sorry for the Trump's wacky policies! We are not happy here either!! He is not my President! Pat in FL

@CNN: Wait, so this is a 1/2 ounce trade war officially??? Half an ounce of phentanyl?.. messing up a trillion dollar a year trade border and the closest relationship the US had literally in history?? Wth Donald?\nTrudeau is doing an amazing job. ???He was not perfect at all, but he's doing a solid job voicing and standing up for Canadians now. I love his efforts.

Proud Canadian here. I made this country home 50years ago with $100 in my pocket. Loved it and happily made my own family here. We stand with our leaders on this. I for one understands hardships so no brainer at all. ????

From Scotland. We stand with our canadian friends and against the Trump administration

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

From Denmark: We admire all you Canadians and hope the crises here can make us all even more close. We wan't you to be a part of Europe and we already know how great it will be of both all us in Europe and for all of the Canadians. We will stand together even more close.

Us Canadians we'll be fine. We stand together 100% STRONG ????????????????????

Damn as an American that disagrees with many Canadian policies. Somehow I stand with Trudeau right now. Economics 101 tariffs are bad for everybody.
