As a 70 yo Black American Elder, I Respect & Stand with you Canada ?✊??

Trudeau, respect for your attitude. Sad for the Americans who will fill, and only economically, that in this world are also people who care about other people and respect each other. Let’s unite together and fight the dictatorship from USA at this moment.

Respect to canadians!

Respect for Canada from the USA

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

My greatest respect to Canadas Prime Minister. He spoke out. I wish european politicians would use such a clear language.

Respect for Canada ?? from Ireland ??

I respect Canada sooo much more than our whack job doing this.

As an American, I have great respect for Canada and its response to Orange Jesus' stupidity.

Canadians are smart enough not to waste our time seeking any reasonable discourse or mutual respect from lying welchers like Donald Jackass Trump. Same reason Zelensky won't waste his time seeking a ceasefire agreement with Vladimir Putin.

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

Massive respect for Canada from California.

7:48 welp, guess we're going to war then. Jesus fuck JUSTIN, President Trump has literally just this week made it clear how important respectful speech is to him (frankly, I agree). This global politics thing isn't a first-name affair, and it's one thing for the media to have a snarky quip about a world leader, but quite another for the leader of another country to declare it publicly. You've essentially left him no choice but to stand firm -- there is no wiggle room now. You and Zelenskyy may well have lit the final fuse for World War III. Cheers bud.

Bull Canada gas never respected nor befriended Americans

As an American, I am fully ashamed of trump and elon . This is horrible. I respect your country

With a dish, respectful Prime Minister like Justin Trudeau, if I were President Donald J Trump I would immediately double the Tariffs. And I live in Canada. \nIt just shows that on his way out, he doesn’t care a bit about any Canadian . They was so many things Justin Trudeau has done in his tender being Prime Minister wrong

Well, I must say Very well spoken , great choice of words respectively and dignified ❤️?

Huge respect from Ukraine, Trudeau - really strong politics, who's talk true! ????

Respect to this leader ❤️??

Good speech. election are minus one !! Respect prevailing here

Standing with you Canada here in Australia ! A dignified, respectful, articulated response. Thankyou

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.

US Veteran, here. Thank you Canada. Regardless of my late grandma being Canadian, I respect and adore Canada for which it stands.

RESPECT, Canada has been way to kind against U.S ...carry an heavy burden. I hope as an EU member , that we one day work side by side .

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

Someone asked: Why do so-called Christians think Donald Trump is some kind of savior that was appointed by GOD to save us all? Another person answered: Because of the total opposites in your statement. I am a conservative AND a believer. \nAnd that makes it so difficult for me to take Republicans serious. How in the world is it that those who profess to believe in GOD, claim to be Christians - and worship Trump? \nA self-confessed abuser of women (When you are rich, they let you do anything you want to)? \nA rapist. \nA thief (Think: Trump “University”) \nA man without respect for anyone (Think: “nick names.”) \nA liar (Think: My crowd was bigger than any ones) + 34,000 PROVEN lies more \nA hypocrite (The Two Corinthians) \nA cheater (Think: Two pregnant wives, both of whom he cheated) \nAn inciter of violence (Think: Fight like hell) \nIn no way does the man fit any concept of Christian character and yet, those who profess to be Christians think he is GOD-given??? GOD does at times allow evil leaders to be appointed over Nations as part of HIS ETERNAL PLAN in this World before the Creation of this World as in the case Egypt's Evil Pharaoh and Evil King Saul because Israel wanted a King instead of GOD'S Prophets such as Samuel directing them at the time of Israel's request.

As an American, I respect your response and commend you, our Canadian friends. It is shameful

Canada you are a great democratic country with a vibrant culture with a great economy, you do not deserve to be treated the way you are by the dictator Trump & his Republicans, that is what disrespect is…Trump needs to apologise to Canada & it’s people. The USA is now becoming a world menace, I hope all the nations of the world take notice of Trump’s arrogance & egoism which will start new conflicts & wars soon.\nGood luck to my Canadian friends, with lots of love & respect from Türkiye. ❣️?????❣️

Respects for Canada

My respect for my Canadian prime minister raised considerably..awesome speech..I thank you??

Thank you even though I don’t like him but I respect him after that speech ??

Respect to Trudeau - even though he felt obliged to flatter 'Donald' a bit. \nForget about fentanyl - who will save America from the scourge of trump ?

Respect Canada from Portugal ?? ??

NICE!! hes finally showing that he hag a set of balls, I think I have a whole new respect for you Justin !! LOVE YOU CANADA !!! LETS KEEP UP THE UNITY< WERE AWESOME !!!

We respect your decision ??????????

As an American, thank you for acknowledging those of us who understand with respect to Canada that they must do what they have to do to protect their own citizens. Prayers for ALL lives under the heavens. ??

Trudeau is a thousand times the patriot — and man — Trump or Vance will ever be. American here, and I respect and admire our brothers and sisters to the North. Stand strong against authoritarian thugs! ?? ??

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

Mr Trudeau, we love you and wish you stay in power!! You are an excellent leader! Much respect❤\nLove from Texas

Trump is not the US and his behavior is not in the best interest of the US. He is the president because he is a skilled con man. However, narcissistic bullying tactics do not work forever as long as there are people with a modicum of intelligence and self respect. He’s trying to be a bully to get his way because it worked for him in the past. He’s is using his position to bolster himself financially and his ego. Everyone should stand up for themselves to include those in the US.

I’m proud of the Canadian leaders, who are kind and care about the well being of Canadians, and the world, Canadian leaders who are respectful, and don’t bully the less fortunate countries, I’m so proud of the Canadian leaders, the Canadian leaders who aren’t bullies, and are well educated, unlike US leader Trump.

What is it about those that stick to Trump like flies to dog excrement (Fox news, JD “Howz my mascara?”Vance, Rubio etc), they are so preoccupied with ensuring their King receives respect and arse kissing? It’s as if the dismantling of all respect for their country and the deteriorating livelihoods of Americans (incl those of their own voters) is not worth a single word. I think the answer is simple. They know they work for a dictator and their jobs hinge on just following Trump albeit off a cliff.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.
