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!!!!

Trump is a Russian Spy trump is not American he is Russian born in the USA I quess next he will change Americas name to Russian United States and Congress will probably allow him to do the Supreme Court Judges and Congress oath of office is to Trump not the We the People

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

Trump's tariffs are a diversion born for one purpose, criminal stock exchange fraud......

I never voted for this group of freaks, President musk is out of control, his aid and Colluder, Donald Trump and the Joker JD Vance their personal interest at heart and their own pockets, trillionaire their friends out and screw the rest of us for the people who voted for him in the United States. You also will be affected a man born a privilege and wealth had your back.

Im so ashamed right now of the USA. The country i was born and live in. everyone who voted for this should have done your due diligence. You can help us get out of this or you can help Putin and Trump turn us into a country that is devoid of all the freedoms we have known throughout our entire lives

As an American born daughter of a mother from Nova Scotia...bravo Canada. \nYou said more than our own government has done against this tyrant. \n❤

Omg...what a Freudian slip...getting Mike Spence's name mixed up with JD Vance...one was brave in the face of evil who wouldn't cave into bullying to accept an undeserved victory...the other is a boot-licking, ring-kissing pathetic excuse for a man who even when his Indian-born wife and half-Indian kids were subjected to rank racism...did absolutely nothing...privately Mrs Vance & her side of the family .. had to have been so let down when there was no push back from the VP.

I was born and raised in the U.S., the grandson of Canadian immigrants. I stand with Canada and wholeheartedly support them. Trump is a Russian asset working with Putin to sabotage western economies. He needs to be stopped, along with all his Nazi cronies.

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trump. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorably in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. Canadians do not respect or like him. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

This nepotistic kid who was born into a family of privilege supports separatists like Khalistan, and gives free passage to tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees - who are on a path to islamise Canada!!!

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

I’m a government worker in the city where I was born and raised. I’m also a mother, a wife, and a family-oriented person. Because of the sheer incompetence of this administration—and the people who blindly followed along—our future is more uncertain and jeopardized than ever before.\n\nI was planning to buy a car for our growing family. We had been saving for a house and making future plans, but now, all of that—especially spending—is on hold. The U.S. is a consumer-driven economy, so what do you think will happen when people like me stop spending due to uncertainty?\n\nThis is madness. We need to speak out, build mutual aid networks, and fight for a future that uplifts everyone—including our allies.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

as a Ukrainian-born Canadian citizen, Alberta-first conservative, I support this message. TRUMP is off the rails and hurting the entire world including his own people right now.

Real Canadian here, born and raised in BC since the 80s, served in the 39 signal regiment. Make no mistake, Trudeau dug our grave, lowered our coffin. Trump only hammered the last nail.

I was born and raised in Siberia, occupied by Russia. I believe that America was and will remain the guiding star of the free world. Free people will not allow their country to join the club of dictatorships. How did this happen? I am looking for sources to read the comments of those who still believe that Trump is not destroying America, is not extinguishing the guiding star of all free people on earth. Where can I find them?

Couldn't be more proud of being Canadian. As an American-born who holds dual citizenship, I am incredibly ashamed of being associated with the USA in any capacity nowadays. Trudeau should go a step further and label Trump the soft fascist authoritarian he seeks to become.

I was almost born in Canada but because of an thyroid illness they did not aprove my mom to come to Canada (late 50`s) So my dad and grandfather decided to stay in the Netherlands. I have a soft spot for Canada........ could have been my home country. Good luck to all of us against dictators and bullies in this world. Who would have thought this will happen after 80 years of peace after a terrible world war and now becoming a threath again because of a few, so called wise men but actually todlers that never want to give in.

trump was born dumb and his father helped him by skipping the draft 5 times. Thank God he didn't do the movie Rambo , just because he did a tv show , thinks he can run a country.

Trump was born a liar and leave the earth a liar

Congratulations America, welcome to the dawn of a new world for you where you will be isolated and shut out, all by your choice. 2025 will be the year the dictatorship of Trump and Musk was born and Trump is already talking about ruling beyond his final term. Yet the world will welcome American citizens who decide to leave their fledging dictatorship for countries who has real freedom.

This underachiever, born with a silver spoon, can’t even tie his own shoes, let alone run a country. Trudboy would rather support Ukraine instead of putting Canadians first.

Although I was born in the U.S., I quote Jesus... 'my kingdom is NOT of this world.' frump attacking our allies is NOT the way to go. My Father GOD owns ALL of this world, and those who attack God's children WILL be held accountable! Isaiah 54:17 Mr Trudeau, Mr Zelensky, I am praying that frump wakes up or that people here have enough courage to stand up for righteousness.

36 trillion in national debt. That’s over $100,000 debt for each American. This is why Trump is taking action. The U.S. is going to default on just the interest payments alone!!! Canadas national debt per Canadian is $35,000. \n\nIt’s time our politicians prepare for rainy days by building manufacturing for the raw resources rather then send them off to be sold back as products to us. We bring in wealthy immigrants that price out our Canadian born citizens trying to buy into the housing market while the tent cities grow. The Liberal party has failed us.

Florida born, America in my veins.\nI stand with Canada and anyone who speaks truth to the vile shit our government is doing.

Nothing but one man’s ego costing us all. We all weren’t born Rich buddy!

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

I love Canada I was born there I love you guys I stand with you

My late grandmother was born in Saskatchewan. Always felt part Canadian.Stay strong and don't waver to the fascist Trump. ?? ??

Stand Tall Canada - the World is watching you stand against another murderous dictator in waiting.. Canada must broach all avenues of economics.. even those in the southern hemisphere.. Australia is one economy.. l was born in Australia.. and stand with the Canadians... the people of the free world must stand together

The Executive Branch of the United States is occupied by the biggest f*ing elites on the entire planet, Putin's pet kleptocrat Trump, his foreign oligarch boyfriend Elon and a clown show of a cabinet. The most incompetent US administration of all time. Thanks Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland. Lindsay Graham. Josh Hawley. Chuck Grassley. Canadian born Ted Cruz, who doesn't even defend his wife, much less the country. Leadership like that does not belong in NATO, it's what NATO was meant to protect us, Canada and the United States, from.

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

Trump is a Toxic Tangerine Turd. He deserves to be flushed down the pan and forgotten about. He is the most vile malignant narcissist who has ever had the misfortune to be born. Good for Canada. Stand up to a bully. I'm a Brit. We have a PM that bends over at every opportunity to appease Trump.

I'm a French Canadian american from the state of Maine. Was born here. I love your response to trump. I think trump is an immature ego maniac. I wish we could kick him out of office!

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

Too bad Trudeau wasn’t born in the US. It would be great to have him as our President.

I wish Trump was never born ???

As a Hungarian born British I support Canada ?

US citizens, stop calling your country America. I am sorry you were born in a country that has no name, but America is MY CONTINENT. Respect it!

Ugh, I was born in the wrong country. Thank you for standing up to Trump, we need more leaders to do this. The Americans that bought the lies and fear and hate mongering and voted for Trump need to be woken up to actual facts and reality.

Born and Raised in Canada and there is another sort of comparison I'm starting to see more and more: We have the Stagnation of Japan and the the Personality of Britain. \n\nWhat I mean by that, the people in Canada, least the older ones (Boomers), got very conservative and never wanted to rock the boat and do new things. They had in their eyes a good thing. They had work and owned their home. None of them wanted to risk that so they kept things the same for the past 3 decades or so. Well a lot has changed around the world, and were pretty much the same old. Literally. In retirement. Whats the last interesting thing Canada has done since the Canadarm? \n\nI can think of a number of achievements the rest of the world has done, including many 3rd world countries. But Canada is the same old. This has become our Culture. We don't talk about new ideas. We witness them online, but we're not Creators. We are Consumers. And that is what I think happened to Britain after they got resettled after WWII. Britain is pretty dry. And so is Canada. Hence our forest fires!

Yeah being born there doesn’t give that Canadian to abuse someone \nKudos to Indian guy

I desperately want to move out of Canada. I've been born and raised here and I feel helpless. I AM EDUCATED. I DO WORK HARD. I HAVE A GOOD CAREER and yet I have no hope of ever owning a home. How is this acceptable?

As an Australian who was born, raised, and has returned to VicDanistan... It's been a humiliating few years.\n\nBut when that same man's story has the added context of the fact that I happen to be here as a result of the path my (late) father took, coming here from Thunder Bay Ontario... The region our family had been in since the 17th century... and ironically live in Canadian, Victoria (so named due to the unknown Canadian killed in the Eureka Stockade).\n\nWhen I consider all that, it often feels as though the simulation is just trying to make jokes. \n\nBut I can assure you, it's not a life story that's easy to get behind, or laugh at. The maple leaf or even the southern cross are no star spangled banner, not in this current year, that's for sure.

Can you imagine if Liberals win again they have to bring millions more from India because Indians always vote for Liberals for the last 60 years, then Canadians youth born in Canada never find a job in Canada

I find it very funny that people who were immigrants in the past hate the new immigrants.\nThe only true Canadians are the Asian aboriginals who lived on Canadian lands before Canada was founded.\nAnd as a Japanese born in a country with thousands of years of history, I can't see any culture worth preserving in Canada with such a short history other than that of the Asian aboriginal people.\nSo there is nothing wrong with Canada ceasing to be a white country and becoming a country of new ethnic groups from outside Europe.\nCanadians of European origin who complain about immigrants should realize that they are immigrants too.

Fuck that, trust me when I say they haven’t got much to give to the US, just more mouths to feed when we can’t feed our own veterans on the street or give them a place to stay.\n\nSorry but sucks to be born in other parts of this world. That’s the reality of life and the quicker people understand that richer or better having people don’t owe anything to anyone for being born in a better place, the world would be a better place \n\nInstead of running from the problem why not grow balls and change your country
