As a UK citizen I will be pressing my government to back Canada 100% be sure Canada will be victorious in highlighting Trumps stupidity.

As an American I can say I did not vote for this nor do I want this and I know there are others like me. America is not entering a new golden age we are in the process of a head on collision with the modern dark ages. Sooo Canada what are your polices for becoming a citizen

You’re damn right the citizens in Canada are going to feel the pain. Your family must had better realize this and set aside your carbon tax for April so we the Canadians are not only going to suffer from the tarrifs but an increase in our taxes. We do not make the kind of money, benefits, pension that all of parliament enjoy and can weather through this.

Can UA citizens move to Canada the ones who do not like it agree with Putin and trump.???

Greath speech from the Ca ada's Prime Minister. A real serious and prepared one,not that gang of idiots now making disasters at WH. Hope my Europe will help Canada, buying their products to fight for liberty against this fat mafia boss. Hope that US citizen will soon learn the lesson throwing this psycopatic president from his throne.

As a US citizen I back you a million%. We love Canada. Don't let our putrid government change how we think about Canada. We love you guys. Wouldn't have been like this under Kamala. We would continued biden's. Great work and fondness of our northern family.

Trump and co are on a war against all the West. And China and Mexico for good measure. Only dear Vlad in Russia escapes his ire. Wonder why... wonder why.. As an EU citizen, I applaud Canada and hope we find trade and support in one another.

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Canada ...I'm so sorry. Please know that Trump does not represent the US citizens. It was a crazy moment that got out of control, and now the country is his hostage. Please help us.

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

I’m American. Good for you! We dont want this either. We people of America love Canada and its citizens.

American. Good for you! We do t want this either. We people of America love Canada and its citizens

Mr. Trudeau mentions there's no drug problem, how can you say this. Fentanyl has been coming through your boarders. This Must stop. Your Ally who offers security for Canada should be respected . Our citizen's are dyeing. I stand with Our President and his Administration. Canada we love you , but enough is enough .

Yea Oh Canada! Perception of Trump, not its citizens, is spot on.

As a us citizen I really don’t care about Canada ? because they will never let me in they country ??‍♂️

Glad Canada is taking a strong stance against Trump's tariffs. As a US citizen I am ashamed of my government and the ignorant people who support Fascist Criminal Trump

As a US citizen, who did NOT vote for Trump, I am glad to see Canada stand up to that wannabe dictator

I think Trudeau is resigning though. How sad. We need good leaders like him. I'm a US citizen and I want Trudeau to remain Prime Minister of Canada. I don't understand why he has to go.

I’m a US citizen immigrated from the Philippines and I agree with Canada. We need a leader like Trudeau.

I am a US citizen and will never call felon47 my president. He cares nothing about our country or citizens not to speak of how he has lied about and treated our Canadian friends. Thank you for doing what our own legislature will not do, stand up to this tyrant. God Bless Canada, and may God save our country!

This Question goes towards trump Who Took Care Of Our U.S Citizens When No One Can Fly On 9/11 Canada Who Helped With Our Fires Canada. Trump you call yourself a Man Of God does the bible say Love Your Neighbor

? I wanna move to Canada! Seriously, it is so sad that citizens of the USA have to suffer at the hands of our Government/Trump. I have relatives in Canada and I live in a city directly across the river from Canada, I pray this does not affect the great relationship the common American citizen has with its Canadian neighbor! Love and Blessings to both countries and may God have mercy on us all. ????????????????????????

As a US citizen who has considered Trump to be a boorish moron since I was a child in the 1980s, I thank Canada and PM Trudeau for standing strong against our idiot-in-chief and I hope we can repair this unnecessary rift as soon as possible.

How does this make sense? Trump being the stupid ass he has always been, put tariffs on imported goods from Canada causing US citizens to pay more for goods from Canada. So PM Trudeau sets tariffs on goods coming in from the US causing CAnidian citizens to pay more for goods imported from the US.\nHaving said that, I do see that PM Trudeau will be causing Canadian citizens to stop buying imported US products, slapping Trump in the face and causing hardship to US manufacturers. This should cause blowback from US manufacturers towards Trump'a stupidity.\nOh, ?Trump

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

This US Citizen will always love our allies, especially Canada, no matter what Trumplets do to destroy the USA!!

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada & the Ukraine - not with Russia.

I am French Canadian who is an American citizen and never have I felt so DISCUSTED AND APPALD with this new government that has started the fall of everything that America stands for I STAND WITH CANADA ?? MEXICO ?? AND UKRAINE ?? ?

Apologies to our good neighbor Canada from one US citizen. Thank you for standing up to our corrupt, immoral, unstable president. Respect to our independent and admirable neighbor ❤??❤️??

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

Canada gets my respect for doing what is best for its Citizens

yon dont have right to advise us as a american citizens here @ ?? america we are american people who choose president trump he’s not forcing you dont sending your product in america without tax that they called it tariffs !! ??? canada president no free @ all !!

From America and I’m sorry my fellow citizens elected this asshole trump!!! I stand with Canada !!

Presumably the whole point of tariffs on Canada is to raise revenues to cover the tax cuts for the oligarchs that he hopes will keep his or his family permanently in power. From that point of view it makes sense to put the tariffs on the biggest trade partners. The tax breaks the oligarchs get will allow them to buy up and control the media on his behalf. Nothing to do with fentanyl. That's just a lie that US citizens are stupid enough to swallow.

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Thank you prime minister Trudeau , I am so sorry this big orange turd and his administration are doing this to Canada, Ukraine , Europe and even our own citizens!!! I did not vote for that psycho I am so ashamed of my government ?

Yes, innocent US citizens r going to suffer from our sick dictators decisions but I'm glad Trudeau is correctly retaliating. ?I'm sorry I don't hav dual citizenship because I would move to Canada for at least 4yrs ?

Thank you Prime Minister for speaking the truth and speaking directly to American citizens. Many of us in America continue to support our friends and allies and Canada is certainly our strongest. The biggest problem with Trump is he keeps moving the goal posts. His trade war will weaken both countries.

US citizen. My vote to Canada, Mexico, EU, nd any other country that may get affected by this BOZO (Trump) of an individual.

I hope Canadians know that not all U.S. citizens agree with this. Canada has been a great neighbor to the U.S. This is a shame.

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

While donal leaves the citizens of the united states of America stranded, Canada declared to stand with hers ❤?

Canadians do not like Trudeau, he’s increased his citizens inflation with Rules, regulations, communism at core. It’s about Returning Americans the robbed coffers of Taxpayers funds, Americans have United, others move to Canada.

I think this “in your face” publicly addressing Donald looks good. Canada should fast track citizenship for US Citizens wishing to immigrate: prioritize and target talented and skilled US citizens and make it a very public announcement, like this.

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

For all those who voted for Trump....yes all these tariffs mean harm to the American citizens in rising costs that we will not be able to afford, as we are already struggling......listen to Canada speech to us.....

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Bravo Justin, we love Canada and we stand with you. Looking forward to increasing our trade with your country as well as with Mexico, China and all other potential partners, the US are not the center of the world. A French citizen.

Every single country has huge tariffs against our country. All Trump wants is for them to pay us the same we pay them. Why any taxpayer would be upset is against it is beyond me. Course Trudeau just said he was going to sacrifice his citizens in a forever war that is already lost. Thank God Trump will protect our citizens and just wants a even playing field. Canada has gotten away with robbing us long enough.
