Thank you Mr Trudeau for your calm and honest words that Trump is out of control and obviously more interested in kowtowing to Putin than preserving our relationship with our allies.

Yeah! Thanks to the idiot in the White House. He is a traidor! Vote him OUT ?

❤❤ to all m'y international friends.. your support means a lot!! Thank you so Much! ??

Thank you Prime Minister showing the American people how stupid and ignorant nearly half the country is. Americans want their country back vote the garbage out. I wouldn't hold my breath. A very sick and drug dependant half the country. Don't blame Mexico or Canada

Thank you, Trudeau, for speaking truth, unlike the circus ? ? clown ruining our country.

America thanks Trudeau for standing up to a fascist and for democracy in general! Thank you! The majority of us want your help and are against this regime.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for really trying to help.

Thank you Justin. It’s beyond time these things were said. Americans need to stop their sleepwalking

Oh great everything just got more expensive on both sides of the border...thanks! As if we aren't broke enough

The axis of evil is Donald Trump. Thanks, Mr Trudeau.

Thanks Trump and all you idiots that voted for him! Look what you've done! Brainless clods!

I served with General Clark! Worked pretty closely for an operation, with his personal thanks at the end. A great honor of my life. ☺️??❤️???

I'm in Montana and I stand with Canada! Thank you Mr. Trudeau and know that the vast majority of American's are on your side.

Thanks Trump

Good for Canada!!! We know you dont want to do it but it has to be done!!! You have to do what you have to do. Thank you for having courage to do it. Goooo Canada!!!

Canada is already heading into an economic crisis, and what Trudeau just did might be the final nail in the coffin. This is his last big mistake — and he’ll soon blame Trump’s policies to cover up his own failures.\n\nLet’s be clear: Trump’s tariff policies aren’t some random attack — they’re based on a simple reality: The U.S. doesn’t need Canada. Here’s why:\n\nEconomy Size Comparison:\n\nU.S. GDP (2024): Over $28 trillion\nCanada GDP (2024): Around $2.3 trillion\nThe U.S. economy is more than 12 times larger than Canada’s — the leverage is completely one-sided.\nTrade Imbalance:\n\n75% of Canadian exports go straight to the U.S. — Canada’s economy depends on the American market to survive.\nMeanwhile, only around 12-15% of U.S. exports go to Canada. The U.S. can replace Canadian goods easily through Mexico, Europe, or Asia, but Canada has no backup plan for losing U.S. access.\nPopulation and Consumer Base:\n\nU.S. population: Over 330 million\nCanada: Around 40 million\nThe U.S. is 8 times the market size, meaning American businesses would always prioritize the U.S. market over Canada.\nNatural Resources & Energy:\n\nCanada’s oil, gas, and timber exports rely heavily on U.S. buyers.\nThe U.S. is already the world’s top producer of oil and gas thanks to its shale industry — it can easily survive without Canadian energy.\nCanada, on the other hand, would struggle to find new customers fast enough to avoid collapse.\n\nDefense & Global Influence:\nThe U.S. holds dozens of trade agreements with major powers like the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.\nCanada’s economy relies heavily on U.S. investment, which could be cut off or redirected if necessary.\nBottom line: Trudeau is dragging Canada into a crisis of his own making. He’s gambling with his country’s economic future, knowing full well that in any economic war with the U.S., Canada loses — fast. When the fallout hits, Trudeau will shift the blame to Trump, but the facts are clear: Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada.

This American wants to move to Canada!!! Thank you for speaking the truth, Mr. PRIME MINISTER

Thank you for saying what the Americans who voted for Trump needed to hear, which is the truth about Putin.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau! Many of us Americans agree with everything you said

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

As an American ?? - thank you Canada ??

I wish you were my president! Thank you Canada

Thank you for making America Great Mr. “President “ some of us could barely make it… No justification for these tariffs. ??????

Imagine the frustration of having to deal with a 78 year old returd!! Thank God he's not 50, but will be gone soon...

As an american: thank you. <3 Sanity’s hard to come by over here. Nice to see somebody grounded in reality.

Thank you PM Trudeau. Fight for democracy and our freedoms. ❤

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

Thanks for calling out our psycho President

JD Vance yells at Zelenskyy and says, ‘ PWEASE SAY THANK YOU TO AMERICA ‘ and yet they didn’t do that much to defend Ukraine against Russia lol

As a German, I can only say, great country. My son studied in Canada for a year. He was given such a warm welcome. Thank you. The import taxes are nonsense. Trump is using a manner that will have a long-lasting effect. I hope for the USA that in four years there will still be free elections and an opposition.

Thank you world for understanding what this LEADER, Justin Trudeau, is forced to do to save our country! Horrible situation for both Canada and the Untied States

Thank you Canada

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your dignified and firm response.

We don’t want this either, America is scary and crazy right now. Thanks for telling the truth !

As an American, i stand by Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? thank you so much Canada for standing up against our dictator.

When was the last time Trump said 'thank you' for the electricity? Shut it down!

Now THAT is how you speak to your constituents; directly and firmly, Prime minister Trudeau, thank you—-no “tough guy” pretenses. Just direct and to the point. Learn something America.

I am Ukrainian, we are grateful to everyone who supports us, because our people die and we live in constant fear that a russian rocket or drone will hit our heads now. Every day air raid alert. Thank you so much to Justin Trudeau for calling putin with the true words - lying murderous dictator.

Thank you JT!! How a real leader leads ??????❤️❤️

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

No one will listen but thanks for trying.

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

Thank goodness there are heroes like Trudeau taking a prominent stance on the world stage. It gives me hope that our allies have not gone mad, even if some of my countrymen have. We admire you and support you, Canada. Thanks for telling the truth, boldly. We love you, Trudeau.

Thank you, Right Honourable, PM Trudeau. It turns out that you are a strong and capable wartime Prime Minister.

Thank you CNN for bringing the news.

Thank you..This is very upsetting ?

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

My brother thank you stay strong do not back down. STAY DAMN STRONG AGAINST A WANNABE DICTATOR

Thank you for your courageous words.
