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.

America is too big to be threatened by Canada though.

This American of African descent strongly stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Kick that orange menace's arse!!!!

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

This was an absolute pleasure. Cultured, polite and reasonable. Come on Canada, there's a warm spot for you in the EU, you'd fit right in ;)

I think US should become the 4th territory of Canada. Putin, you can have drump and elon and their stupid dogs.

Is it possible that this is all about access to critical minerals - which Canada and Ukraine hav in abundance. America has form in creating a pretence to go to war to protect access to cheap oil. But in the past these wars were against arab nations and so the West found it easy to 'other' and accept the need for war. Now America under Trump is hoping to secure critical minerals (modern day oil) - but because they are allies he cant start an outright war. So hes doing it through trade. This is old form for America. When looked through this lense is not so difficult to understand. The big question is will the west allow him to bully western allies - democracies to be bullied into submission?

Go Canada ??

This is what a leader of the free world sounds like: Level-headed, expressive, factual, referencing trade agreements, how we have met your demands and good sentiments about working together to solve problems. This is NOT how you lower prices for Americans! This as about a narcissist wanting to be an Oligarch, and a grapist, wanting to grape Canada, like his boyfriend Putin is doing in Ukraine.

Thought this man was stepping down and not liked in Canada Everyone should get the facts This man said No to closing our borders are you Americans are not this man was letting Illegal immigrants through on the Canadian side SCREW TRUDEAU

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

American here. I stand with and support Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. DOWN WITH TRUMP! DOWN WITH MAGA!

Join EU Canada :). We welcome you with open arms

I STAND WITH CANADA AND ALL OF OUR ALLIES! More than half of Americans did not vote for this privileged, greedy, out-of-touch mess of an administration, and we will be letting them know it for the next four years!

Canada has had it to good for to long .\nI stand with America. ??

I wish I was born in Canada instead of the USA

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down in popular leader in Canada. ?

Poor politician! Canada imports to u.s.a. 32.5 percent of it's products, while u.s.a. imports 1.5 percent. I don't know what to do: laugh ???or cry ???

I'm an American and stand with Canada ??

Kind of wish I had moved up to Canada.

Thanks, Canada❤

This guy. Canada, I wish this was not happening. I love your people and country.

Well said PM .\n\nWe stand strong.\n\nGod bless Canada and US.

Yes Canada!! ? tarifs oil to US! Trump is an idiot

I'm surprised this guy is still in charge. He has made Canada broke again.

Unfortunately many people here voted for the Clown and they (and by osmosis) Canada got THE WHOLE DAMN CIRCUS....these voters have to be proud now.

I am in agreement with your decision Canada. I humbly request you, please don’t shut off the lights in NYC. Turn the lights off in Washington.

Canada....( the country where we use chainsaws to cut lumber not jobs for real people). We are sorry that Americans are going to suffer along with us.

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

I didn't understand why Trump imposed tariffs. Canada stepped up on what was asked. Maybe Trump will explain himself.

Why does trump hate canada? I mean they are white?

We will be strong canada ??

I don't blame Canada for imposing their tarries against us. This is Donald running his stupid schemes.

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

So proud of our PM and my country canada ?? ????♥️♥️♥️

I thought this fairy resigned, I guess he wants to totally destroy Canada before he goes

CANADA YOY ARE LIKE A ANT ? AMERICA IS LIKE A ELEPHANT ? ELEPHANT CRUSHES AND ANT ? YALL WILL SAY UNCLE SOON WE ARE GETTING CANADA AND GREENLAND AND PANAMA AND MEXICO JUSTIN DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A SPANKING JUSTIN SETTLE DOWN

EUROPE AND CANADA ????

Shameful time to be an American. I can’t believe we’re on Russia, North Korea, and China side now. We need Canada’s leadership along with the UK and EU. The free world is depending on you guys now. We’ve got a cancer within

As a citizen of USA, I love Canada more. Good job Trudeau.

??? Canada is hurting ..De dollarisation script in play..US doesn’t have extra money at all

Usa no need canada

Starmer has to back Canada publicly

As an American, I stand with you, Canada. How dare we make an enemy of you??

Desperately trying to hold onto power by riding the Trump hate among Canadians. Speaking as a Canadian, get this incompetent criminal, perhaps the worst PM Canada has ever had, out so we can get someone who knows what they're doing to manage relations with the US.

Love Canada! As an American, I am totally ashamed who we picked as our president. And this is just the beginning.

Canada is a wussy Factory

Canada has fallen ?

What an awful way to treat Canada - the USA should be ashamed of voting in the MAGA/Putin clown show. Does anyone know of a reliable list of Canadian consumer products? - I would like to think about that when I am shopping (in Australia).
