As an American, I am ashamed and appalled. Please, Canada, please, know that many stand with you and support boycotts of the US.

Please know that not all Americans back our felon in chief. I don't understand how he got back in office, but I'm proud of Canada for standing your ground. Don't give in to him!

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

Canada, please know that the intellectual, thoughtful American public is with you, we are not with him, he is no more than a flash in the pan failed real estate developer and failed reality tv show host. We all know that this too shall pass, please stay with us.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

As an American, it’s so shameful to witness this take place. Canada, please know many of us vehemently oppose what has happened to our country, but our voices are being strategically stifled. It’s a scary place to be. ?

Canada, please PLEASE realize that there are MANY AMERICANS who oppose this action vehemently and ansolutely HATE DONALD TRUMP!! Who knows what will become of you and us because of his sick, evil mind. We will fight WITH YOU!!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

God how I wish this man was my President. Please know, Canada, that millions of Americans like myself are disgusted by the traitor in the White House.

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

Please know that half of us did not vote for this monstrous government and can’t comprehend the stupidity of US voters who believed the lies of right wing media .We are so confounded on what to do.We fantasize about Canada and Mexico invading the US and dividing governance between you as Americans clearly can’t govern themselves.

People of Canada, please know that many, many Americans are not in favor of our President's actions, policies or behaviors. Buy Canadian!!

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

I didn’t vote for the FELON or f ELON. Prime Minister Trudeau will you allow Michigan to succeed to Canada?? ??????\nAs a highly educated Michigander who has spent over 5 decades enjoying the beauty, kindness, culture and hospitality of Canadians visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario, Toronto and so many other beautiful places with my parents, siblings and now my children, I am heartbroken that it has come to this. Please know that Americans do not support this clown and his GOP lackeys. We love you and you will ALWAYS be our neighbors. Resist, we understand and support you even though it will cause pain. ??????

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

I have never heard a Canadian sound so fierce and it makes me wish I were a Canadian today. Canada, there are many many Americans that are so ashamed today be part of this country today and please know that we fully support you putting our country in its place. We hope that you know we have your back and that we hope that you will forgive us when we have shown we actually deserve it

American here supporting Canada and Mexico. I'm embarrassed by what that idiot has done and will continue to do sadly. Please know that not all Americans support this. In fact MOST of us don't, and we are standing with you.

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

AMERICAN HERE. PLEASE BOYCOTT AMERICAN GOODS, BOYCOTT AND STOP BUYING TESLA, IT IS OK WE KNOW YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING CANADA. I STAND WITH CANADA . AMERICA IS NOW BEING GOVERN WITH A KING AND REPUBLICANS GESTAPO. WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT COME 2026 WE WILL GET THE HOUSE BACK FROM THESE DICTATORS.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

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.

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.

Please know not all Americans voted or support Mr. Trump! He is an embarrassment to our country and the world. My heart aches daily for the harm and division he is creating. We are in serious trouble. I support Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

PLEASE KNOW THAT MOST AMERICANS LOVE AND SUPPORT CANADA, BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY PRISONERS OF A FASCIST REGIME THAT WAS 'ELECTED' BY AN IGNORANT POPULACE. GOD BLESS AND GOD HELP AMERICA!

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

Well done Canada I'm sure Americans are very ashamed of our disgusting President. Please forgive this evil man and know we are on your side. Our best to your people.

So strange to be a 66 y.o. American who will suffer the cost of these tariffs and still I'm in total support of you Canada. Please know most Americans do not want what Trump is inflicting upon us, our neighbors and international partners, nor do we believe this is a border issue. Grateful you're intelligent and a strong leader. Do not waiver.... hold your ground.

Dear Canada: please know that this orange buffoon does NOT speak for the vast majority of Americans that value truth, integrity and other humans. He shows every day that he cares only about his ego, his personal wealth and his billionaire buddies. Taking the side of dictators is his stock in trade, as we’ve seen numerous times. God help us until we’re rid of Trump and his idiot sycophants!

Half of the American population has fallen victim to this man and his lies. As an American myself, please know that there is still another half of us out there that stand with Canada (and Ukraine).

I am American and absolutely loathe what trump is doing, and I'm not alone. Canada is doing the right thing here. Canada - please know that most Americans are on your side.

This American supports you, Canada. Please know, many, many of us are working to get him out.

Please know that half of the Americans do not support this pig. We love Canada. We love Mexico we love Europe we stand with you ❤

From a Hispanic women from Texas. I stand with Zelensky Canada and Mexico. The world must know there are many Americans who did NOT want this idiot. Please don't hate us all. God bless EVERYONE

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

I've never been so embarrassed to be an American - How this country elects a giant, bloated, orange, oompa loompa, whale carcass, who plays golf everyday and acts like a child on foreign policy . . . . . AGAIN !!!!, is beyond any reasonable persons' comprehension. Canada, please know that we are, in now way, behind this dictatorship take over of our country by the cartoon character who happens to be in the White House at present. The non-idiots in this country are so sorry ?

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are a true leader. I lived in Canada many years ago and have friends there. I am so sorry about what my government is doing to Canadians. Please know this government does not represent all of us Americans.

The American people love Canada… Please know that these reckless tariff actions are not supported by most Americans… not only do they damage the relationships of our closest allies, they do not work. They are simply a tax which is ultimately born by the American people.

Please know, that just because most voters voted him in, that does NOT mean most Americans support him. Just those who got out to vote that day. We don’t want this. I support Canada, Ukraine and the rest of the European nations ??

Trump & his administration, including Musk, are TRAITORS!! Please know that half of American voters did NOT vote for this traitor. We, non-Trump Americans, are NOT in agreement with this traitor. We stand with Canada & our other allies! “Hate” is not near a strong enough word to describe how we feel about these traitors’ actions!!!

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

im american--I stand with Canada. Im so sorry this is happening---Please know we love Canada and agree with your actions.

Please know that many Americans don’t agree with these tariffs placed on Canada either, that Canada has always been a good neighbor, always will be. These are sad and dangerous times for many US citizens with this present administration wreaking havoc on our beloved country.
