Thanks Trudeau for destroying Canada. I hope everyone remembers your legacy of destroying Canadian culture, Canadian kindness all while stealing more money than any other prime minister combined to date. .

Thank You Mr. Trudeau, as a Canadian I've never been more proud to call you my Prime Minister ??????❤❤❤??????

So proud of our Prime minister. Thanks for standing so strong for all Canadians. ❤

Whether you have been in favour or not of Justin Trudeau. He has stepped up and has spoken for all of us Canadians. He is showing strength, class, democracy, and freedom, and his love for all Canadians. We thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.!! ??❤️??❤️??

As a Canadian I am very proud of the way our Prime Minister handled himself. Reading all the kind words from Americans and citizens around the world it gives me hope that there is still good in this world. Thank you ??

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

Thank you, Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, for acknowledging us, the American people. May God bless us all. ? ?

Proud Canadian here .. thank-you for such a wonderful speech Prime Minister Trudeau. To the world: thank-you for your messages of support. To the Americans: we've received supportive messages from so many of you as well, thank-you.

As a Canadian, thank you prime minister. We stand with you.

Thank you Prime Minister for the amazing speech! We will be fine. Canadians are very strong ?

A Prime Minister who respect human rights, promote transparency, and prevent corruption. With all my Respect, thank you Monsieur Premier Ministre ?. I am a very Proud Canadian ??

I'm proud of you Prime Minister Trudeau! Stand your ground! Thank you for representing us so well in this moment. \n\nDoes it make sense to be at war with your peaceful neighbors? Canadians can trade with the rest of the world.

Thank you prime minister Trudeau for making all Canadian proud . This is what we call a great leadership !

Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness in reaching out to us. We stand with our Canadian neighbors.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for your steadfast leadership in these challenging times. Your clear and decisive response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs demonstrates a commitment to protecting Canadian interests and upholding the integrity of your nation's economy. \n\nIt's reassuring to witness a leader who can speak sense and stand firm against unwarranted actions. \n\nYour dedication to maintaining strong international relationships while addressing internal challenges reflects true statesmanship. Canada is fortunate to have such principled guidance as we navigate these complexities together.​ #IStandWithCanada

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for leading Canadians to stick together and do what is right.

I'm Canadian. I didn't vote for Justin Trudeau, and - to use his phrase - it's not in my habit to agree with him, but this is spot on. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

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

Wow, thats my Prime Minister! This update from our PM is what we needed to hear as Canadians to understand exactly what is going on. Thank you

from Germany: \nSince the war in Ukraine, Germany has been buying 13 times more gas from the USA (from 1% currently to 13%). It's time to show solidarity with Canada and get our gas from there. To all Canadians: be grateful for such a sincere and intelligent prime minister. Thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for your clear words!

So proud of you Prime Minister Trudeau!!!. Proudest moment for me as a Canadian. Hold your head high. Thank you.

Thank you prime minister for such amazing speech , to fight for all canadians and the world ! So proud to be Canadian !!!

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

Thank you Prime Minister for this !! I can’t believe that the Leader of the Free World has now become a puppet of Putin. So proud to be a Canadian. I will no longer buy products from the USA or visit as long as Trump is President

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

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!

Canadian Prime Minister is a Real mature man that speaks eloquently and is intelligent and is correct and fair !!\n Beautiful speech , thank you Prime Minister, we as Middle class Americans are fighting for our survival and are scared that Trump is listening to billionaires instead of the People!!❤️???

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

Prime Minister Trudeau make me proud to be Canadian today. Thank you Mister Trudeau ans God bless you and all 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'm not Canadian. I am from Europe and never stepped a toe inside of Canada but I actually got emotional listening to this. Hats off to your Prime Ministers composure and courage. We need more like him ??. Thank you\n??

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Notice no name calling, no disrespect, no Drama. This is how you behave as an intelligent person. We are proud to be Canadians.??????????????????

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. ??

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

We will survive because we are united as one. We have great leaders leading this war. We will survive. Many Canadians are doing their part by not buying American goods anymore. God protect our brave nation. Thank you, Prime Minister and Premier Ford.

Thank you Canada for your strong stance! Great Prime Minister, Canadians can be proud. Please stand by Europes, we need your partnership.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, my heart is filled with such adoration. Spoken so concise and eloquently as a leader, yet remaining respectful. Thank you for standing up for our soverenty as an independent nation (not a 51st state) and us as Canadians will stand together with you through this unnecessary tumultuous storm. Again, we thank you ?? ? ? ❤️

I am not a fan of our Prime Minister but I stand beside him as a proud Canadian. Thank you Prime Minister Tuesday for sending this strong message to that traitor Trump. He has no clue how Canadians rallied to support Americans in our homes when 911 happened. Americans, please take your country back.

Thank you, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Every word masterfully stated, and TRUE.

Canadian here. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister. We will stand united and fight.

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us

Great speech, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I will always be proud to be a Canadian, eh.

Thank you Mr Prime Minister Justin ❤❤❤❤ So proud to be Canadian

Mr Prime Minister Trudeau you spoke so well. Thank You from California. Respect Canadian.

Thank GOD you’re still Prime Minister Justin. Very proud Canadian I’ve always been but even more now. My Dad fought in WW2 he fought for our freedom then We all will now. OUR TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!
