Strength and honor, Canada! You still have a strong and friendly partner in us, México.

Good on you Canada, Australia supports your standing up to Trump. He has even hit Australia with tariffs on steel and Aluminium. Trump is a criminal and a traitor to his country.

This man is ripping off Canada. He gave another 5 Billion to Ukrain.

This is so embarrassing for us Americans. Not MAGA. Americans. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the rest of the sane world.

So Canada agree to spend over one billion and still get slapped to the face with tariffs.\nYou Think Ukraine signed the peace deal with Russia and expect the war to go away?

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

As a Kiwi, Canada it is inspiring to see the fight back.

Respect for Canada from Romania! I used to agree with Trump and Musk on some things but I can't state how much they've fallen in my eyes. Trump ally of Putin? That's insane..

In California but 1000% Team Canada. I am actively seeking out Canadian products to replace those from red states. (Canadian Mist, Crown Royal and many others are excellent replacements for Kentucky whiskeys.) I hope (and expect) that Blue State governors are working with Canada and our other allies to put the squeeze on Trump-supporting states and industries. While I hold out little hope that Trump cultists will ever not be brainwashed, putting them through direct and maximum pain is the only possible way out. Canada, elbows up! Turn out the lights, raise the price of our oil and know that true Americans are with you every step of the way.

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, I STAND WITH CANADA , UKRAINE MEXICO. GREENLAND , EU. AMERICAN. HERE.

I'm an American and let me make this perfectly clear what I heard. Coming out of Justin Trudeau's mouth today was the gospel truth. Our government is off the rails and who's to blame the GOP and the magas. Canada this American supports you 150%

CANADA ?? STANDS WITH AMERICAN TAXPAYERS GOOOOOOO TRUDEAU.

The idea of Canada sticking up to America is laughable.

Trudeau just lied to the world and called Trump an intelligent man... so, they do lie in Canada too.. Lol.

Canada is an amazing country, and their cities have the hottest girls. It's true.

Trump deserves this sort of aggressive action but Trudeau is a joke, only cares about human rights if it benefits Canada

As an American I just want to say to Canada I am so sorry for the ignorance of trump. God bless you all

The US did not do this. Trump did this. Trump is not the US. The US does not condone the idiotic actions of Trump. We, the unscammed US citizens would like to see Trump gone, whether by having him deported, or by any means necessary. We, true Americans stand with Canada and Mexico.

My indigenous American background has tought me better than this and we stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe. It's shameful what is happening here in the US and I just want everyone to know that there's many of us that do not agree with what's going on. We don't stand with Russia or any dictatorship. Now let's see how many hate comments I get and from what side, it'll be crystal clear who's who. Ukraine we also stand with you ??

To hell with Canada

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.

???? this guy agenda “ lets make canada worst again “ humiliates brings everything to the public nonsense.

The bad part is, the Ukraine, Mexico, and Canada think that WE ALL side with the behaviors of a president of the USA and treat us ALL like we are in support\n\n\n\nONLY MAGA white supremacists are raising pitchforks and making lunch mobs against any non white, or non American

I want to move to Canada. Australia lacks leadership—we truly need a leader like Justin Trudeau.

We do not respect this new communist party. The American people are with Canada and Mexico and go after that idiot he is the most unfit man for any office except in a nursing home where he belongs. Lori

I stand with Canada! Bought my travel trailer and car in December knowing the tariffs were coming!

ViVa Canada....I am from USA! Harm us enough so Trump will be dumped!

He destroyed Canada and Bideden destroyed the US

Canada is dealing with an American mad dog. Americans are dealing with an American mad dog in White House too.

I’m glad Canada is fighting back, don’t let this bully Trump hold anything over your head!

I’m in the US but I’m cheering on Canada and the rest of the world. I’m sorry we’re the enemy right now. I know my prices will go up, but please please don’t back down!!

You can go get a crack pipe at a vending machine in Canada shut up

Impressive, Mr. Trudeau! I wish we germans had a leading Politician, able to hold such a smart speech. Congratulation Canada!

I wholeheartedly stand with Canada.

Trudeau is big trouble for Canada

TRUMP IS SETTING UP TO ANNEX CANADA. Canada's allies in Europe are now well focused on Ukraine and Russia, a US national emergency is being manufactured in that critical resources will be withheld by Canada, and Putin's bum-boy gets to live out his fantasy emulating Putin.

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

for people from outside Canada that is praising this speech.., This is the first time he has spoken with some rationale thinking. You also don't know how he has supported the drug problem. In this speech he is doing an about face - it is pathetic to listen to this. He should have been doing this the last 4 years instead of driving this country into the ground. Of yeah, and he has parliament shutdown as we go through these external threats. Hold your praise, this is temporary.

I'm American and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine ...God help us

Once the American people see what Trump is doing to their country they will want him out. Canada should add another one percent per month to the tariffs until the Ameican stock market bombs.

Let’s get this clear - This is not about hurting Canada with Tariff. This is all part of Trump’s plan to create panic, confusion and frustration to the American people to make us weak so he can sell us to PUTIN. The tariff to Canada, Mexico and China; his immigration racist decisions to target Latinos; the way he and Vance attacked to president Zaleski and firing federal employes is just ALL Part of a plan to create confusion, so while we scratch our head, he allied with PUTIN.

Je suis avec vous Canada…je déteste l’imbecile the president qu’on a maintenant. Je n’ai pas voté pour lui ou pour Elon…

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

donald wants to invade Canada to be just like vlad

I am proud of Canada ??……

Americans don't stand with canada\nThey only stand with Canada in CNN comment box ?

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Canada can come and join the EU.

Oh Canada ??, strong and free, our country is already great and the best in the world. Hopefully, the USA will be great again someday but I think they need a new leader ,just saying.
