From Portugal much love my Canadians!!!!! I dont understand what has gone through Trumps mind!

Love JT and love all Canadian ❤❤❤❤❤be strong and unite

I love Canadians. They always stood with us. I’m from California ❤

I'm a Canadian who gave our sandwiches to American's that got stuck here on 911. I love America. I hope we can get back to being there for each other.

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

We Europeans would love to have you Canadians as freinds and allies!

As a dual citizen, this makes me sad hearted, for both my homes.\nsitting here in Washington State, I love you, my fellow Canadians!

French here. To all my fellow canadians friends : we’ll be here for you. No one must be allowed to bully their closest allies like this. The future will be tough for both of us across the atlantic, but we’ll go through this. All my love❤

To all the Americans commenting In a loving way to us Canadians. We love you right back! We all appreciate you and your support!

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

I am a Hungarian born Canadian, I am so sad to see what the US is doing to my beloved country. Please stay strong and we are standing by you from Europe. Love you Canada!!!!

Here in the US we are whole heartedly in support of all of fellow Canadians who are not only our most trusted ally and friend but our brothers and sisters entwined in the same culture, philosophy, freedom, love and respect for each other until a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender, narcissistic pathological liar, criminal, traitor and Putin lover got elected. But we are still family! We will not allow one deranged, unhinged, delusional and psychotic man spoil our relationship.

Thank you Canada for standing up to the idiocy of trump.\nThere is mounting and clear evidence that trump and his enablers stole our election through suppression of legitimate American voter’s votes…. And manipulation of voter machines…\nThe evidence is overwhelming…Trump is a #PutinPuppet and he is Putin’s useful idiot.\nThe majority of us Americans love our Canadian friends and neighbors.\n??❤️?❤️??

Well done Trudeau , you are showing your genuine love and character by saying what is right only for the Canadian people and for this very beautiful country Canada. \nStanding with Canadians at this difficult time. Great nations face great challenges and come out of them as united and heads high

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. ??

I love the Canadians. So polite and reserved. Class. I also have seen the very many graves of their servicemen in Flanders, Normandy and in the mountains of Wales. You stood with us when the US dithered. We owe you so much. You are brave, principled and resolute. God bless you all and love from UK.

As an American. I am sorry that our government is doing this. I value the Canadian - US relationship, I love Canadians.

As a Proud Canadian, I love my American Friends; but the MAGA MORONS and Republicans are destroying and dismantling your Democracy before our eyes. Seems you have been taken over by Putin's Propaganda Campaign!

i am ashamed to be an American today. i would love to move my entire family and become a Canadian citizens! less than 1 percent is outstanding and a safe secure beautiful place to live. God be with us all i hope this ends!

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

I didn't vote for Felon Trump. He is an idiot and an embarrassment!\nI love my Canadian friends and used to live in Canada. \nWell spoken by Justin Trudeau!

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

As a European, Im so sad for you Canadians to be neighbours with that crazy country, with a insane sickness right now. We would love to have you here in Europe.

Trudeau loves Trump. Before these tariffs, Trudeau was one of the most despised prime ministers in Canadian history. Now people around the world are praising him. We don’t need people to stand with us, we need him and his party gone!

We need a leader as intelligent and capable as Justin Trudeau. Canada, standing their ground may be our best chance to impeach the disgusting dictator in our country. Canada? Are you ready to accept any Democracy loving Americans who want to escape fascism? We would love to be Canadians!??

What if Trump stops all Canadian Visa’s into the US? They love to come here for 6 months out the year and buy property . If he cuts that out it’s over for Canada . This can get UGLY

Always been a proud Canadian. Now my heart is swelling out of my chest with pride and love more than ever.

Non-voting Orange Orangutan over the top, absolute Shitheel here...FULLY ENDORSE THIS MESSAGE AND LOVE MY CANADIAN NEIGHBORS/FRIENDS...sorry and embarrassed to have him putting our friends across the globe through his idiocy. SHEER idiocy, grift/greed. These silent Republicans can all F off...we MUST IMPEACH NOW!

Good and not servility speech! I hope you can do more about Fentanyl and the Chinese organized criminal activity in your Casino and Fentanyl chemical sent by CCP! We love Canadian but not Fentanyl, illegal immigrants, and CCP infiltration! Goo bless America and Canada!

Love you our Canadian brothers!!!!! Im so sorry!!!!! Fight fight fight❤❤❤❤❤ love you from America!!!! SemperFi!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Trudeau, Americans LOVE YOU AND CANADA. Please accept my apology on behalf of America. Donald Trump is shameless and is an absolute moron. Godspeed to you and all phenomenal Canadians. Sending love! ??????

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

As an American I would love to put an end to this stupid trade war and get back on good terms with the Canadian people. But unfortunately I don't get to make the decisions around here.

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

What's crazy is I think Trudeau is a shit politician but held against Trump he looks like George fucking Washington. \n\nI love my Canadian friends, and don't blame Canada at all for the response. Fuck maga!

Feel for the American people and Canadian people only one man has done this yes trump ,love from the uk ??

The US needs nothing from Canada. They produce Canola oil (poison) and tainted wheat. We don't need it. Love Canadians. Love Canada. But recognize that Trudeau is evil. After all....he pushed the poison shots onto his people. He is evil. He should not be in power.

Canadians better be careful who they elect after Justin Trudeau leaves They might end up with a Trumplike person governing their country too I pray for the Canadians Americans love you

Put aside party political differences, we CANADIANS will stick together, and to fight together. Average Americans, please listen: We are reluctant to have a fight, but we are not afraid of fighting and for sure we will hit back when we are insulted, threathened, imtimidated and got the 1st blow on our face without any reason. No one can leave a fight without a bleeding face and nose and you will be as miserable as we love to see. CANADIANS can be as nice as anyone can find on earth, and we can be as tough beyond your immagination. Now with the 25% tariff on on, we will have no choice. You will feel the pain from now.

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

The evil ?regime who is illegally destroying our rights and our relationship with our wonderful Canadian cousins is not supported by the majority of American people. We love you ??❤️❤️❤️

From France Love and support to my Canadian friends. I really love your country and I'm chocked with this madness. Keep strong ✊ ?? ??

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

I hope EU will help out somehow.. canadians are awsome ppl. never met a disrespectful canadian! Stay strong! Much love from Norway<3

This is very very sad , what's happening here the Canadian and American always get along very well,the enemies love this very bad example.

I hope Canada will become a beautiful new European Union state. You are welcome, dear Canadians. We would love to buy your crude oil and maple syrup (yum!).

I thought this mug stood down? Whats he still doing spouting absolute b0llocks on the world stage? Never forgie,never forget, 'Canadian Truckers' - What a eunich - love theway he's banging on about 'what he is doing now', once he was backed into a corner! His 'word', about worth as much as a penny farthing!

He's right about Canadians we love our Brothers and Sisters, its YOU TRUDORK THAT EVEN YOUR OWN PEOPLE CANT STAND ?

Canadians love Americans, there is family on both sides. Why is Trump being COUNTER PRODUCTIVE ?\nthis is negotiating ? what is the deal ? SPELL IT OUT \ndon't try and fool yourself or anyone with verbal crap > show me the numbers on paper, give references from reputable sources in USA. We like and need clarity. Details. Transparency.\npeople on both sides of the equation are intelligent and need the REAL DEAL > not bull.\nIt smells like Trump has not spelled it out. Is it a flip or a flop day ?

This evening I will eat pancakes with maple syrup in honour of the excellent Canadian people. Much respect and love from Norway.
