I'm American...I love Canada! I have many friends there ! Thank you for standing up for Canada and actually for standing up for innocent Americans like me who never voted for this monster we have now as a president! I'm 50 and I've never ever seen anyone like the administration we have now ! My parents and my grandparents would be ashamed of Donald Trump especially my grandfather who was a world War 2 vet who received a purple heart award ! Shame on you Donald

We the American people voted for this. Trump represents us . And we love it. Tit for tat trump keep it going

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

Wooow, what a clear speech and action. Sadly, Trump is severely mentally ill, as 70 psychiatrists have warned since 2017 continuously. Moreover, Trump is a gangster like, who surrounded him with nuts alike. More moreover, he jumped into Putin's criminal boat. What a president voted Americans... Russia put a president in America, the Nobel Prize for mental illness is spreading around the World goes to the Kremlin. Eternal shame for those who voted Trump. WW3 is closer than ever.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

NOT ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMPFUHER!!! YET WE HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT TRUMPFUHER IS DOING!!!

Canada we are with you. Some of us Americans didn't vote for him, his cabinet or his ideas.

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

It’s about Donald thinking he’s the smartest person in the room and he’s determined to prove he’s right—no matter what the cost to the American people. 165 million Americans did not vote for him.

What a ginormous Buffone the Orange Man is. I'm still scratching my head how Americans could have voted for this idiot .

Unfortunately Trump befriends bullies and alienates friends and neighbors. In 2026 we will have midterm elections. That will be the time to make a necessary change and I trust Americans will vote.

Trump is making all sane Americans side with countries other than our own. We absolutely suck right now. We should be apologizing daily for what you-who-voted-for-this did to our credibility as a national ally.

Thank you PM Trudeau. As an American who DID NOT vote for the orange man in a Satan suit, I support your actions towards the US. No one wins in this situation, and I am prepared for whatever is going to happen. Trump must be stopped!!!!

I am an American, please stand together. Our country is not and I am sure it shows. We here in the states need to gain control of our Rogue Government and it will not be easy. Many of our citizens have been removed from the voting roles and many politicians have been bribed or threaten into submission. We have a hard road ahead to gain back our country ... please remember, most Americans understand and would not choose to harm any of our friends and neighbors.

America is now the enemy…a nation allied with the murderous regime of Dictator Putin’s, Russia. \nI’m Australian & I am disgusted by America. Americans might say that they stand with Canada or Ukraine however, tens of millions of you voted for Trump in 2024 & you knew his level of tyranny, his ideology, his policies, his criminality, his intentions. Many, many millions of you decided to not vote at all! The blame is squarely on your shoulders! ?

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

I'm so sorry I'm an American and I'm just ashamed as to what's going on and I'm not just one there's millions of people even people who voted for him have changed there . He did not win by a landslide it was really close down to two states. I wish for your country only good things.god bless

I'm American who Vote for Trump I'm sorry to Canadian >>>Dictator Trump

Many of us did NOT vote for this administration - It's not Americans - it's this administration! We re SO sorry Prime Minister - We Americans love Canada! We will get through this - somehow!!!! Hopefully resume our relationship with you/Canada!

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

As an American, I'm sorry to Canada and those of us who didn't vote for Trump. We don't deserve this and the ones who voted for him, you need to repent and wonder if it was really worth it. This mess is just the beginning. God help us!

Im laughing at any American who voted for Trump because he was to lower prices. Instead he is loudly admitting that prices will soar due to tariffs. \n\nRemember Project 2025? Well, Its here.

I am an American, I support Canada and Ukraine, not Vladimir Putin and Russia. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! I'm sorry to say we have a wannabe dictator as president, I will never understand how he was ever voted in as president, he is not my president.

From Texas to you ❤️❤️ we do not stand behind Trump. A lot of us did not vote or care for Trump. Gosh I just got my passport, we were planning to visit Canada ❤️❤️ and I don’t blame you for hating us. ?Stand strong Canada most Americans stand with you. I truly believe Trump is doing all this to strengthen his greediest he doing this to line his money pockets with middle Americans Musk will help him become one of the richest men in the world and he will get there on the backs of middle class hard working Americans. He isn’t trying to help Americans he is helping himself and all his rich buddy’s I refer to them all as roaches.

This is the fault of 51% of st_pid Americans who voted for a clown. Therefore, the USA is now a CIRCUS.

*This is how an ACTUAL politician/diplomat talks. Trump never was, is not, and never will be a politician or diplomat. He is just some loudmouth hooligan. I feel sorry for those Americans who were dumb enough to vote for him for the first time and disgusted toward those Americans who voted for him AGAIN.*

As an American I'm extremely saddened and disappointed by everyone who voted for Trump when we knew this day was coming. It's your fault this country is about to go through one of the worst economic periods ever.

Unfortunately, Americans voted for an ignorant, stupid, Putin loving idiot who may put us all in harms way. Thanks

Trump is like a Toddler thar never grew up. Sad for the Americans that didn’t vote for him, but now have to pay the price of his stupidity.

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

I’m an American but you do what you gotta do Trudeau, I’m not mad at cha. Americans voted for this douchebag so no need to worry about Americans they got exactly what they wanted.

Still do not understand how americans might vote for Trump who.is russian agent since 1987

What you sow you reap! The Clown and his Circus band of Puppets shows are on the road to create chaos to the American people including the Clowns MAGA cult loyalist! \nHell yeah! Good for you all who voted back the delusional and stupid dumb President ever! \nWhat you sow you reap! \nKARMA!!!??

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

Americans voted for America First. You’re about to get America Alone.

This is what happens Americans when you vote a convicted felon to run your country..good luck

American here, please boycott us. Teach the corporations who own my country what it means to vote with your wallet. Boycott our goods and make it sting.

Never back down to Trump! Signed, An American who didn't vote for that bully

Now you Americans i bet you wish you had voted for Harris

what do you want Americans to do? Our hands are tied if we didn't vote for Trump.

I’m an American and I didn’t vote for this! I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe, not Russia. Bravo, President Trudeau! ??

Americans voted against their interest by voting Trump instead of Harris. Now that was a very dumb thing to do.

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

Mr. Trudeau, as an American who does not support this American president, we are doing everything we can to fight our own president and his destructive policies. He is a criminal and a liar, and is unsupportable. I'm sorry so many of our people voted for this fraud of an administration. He plans to gut the US and steal as much money as possible before doing I know not what else. We are sick with worry and concern for ourselves. We hope we can sort this out before it destroys us entirely. Americans supporting this megalomaniac are fools.\n\nMr. Trudeau, thank you for your words.

He says the CANADIAN people don’t want this. Likewise, the AMERICAN people don’t want this either. Unfortunately we didn’t get a vote in this decision.

But Americans voted for this, they love King Trump, the messiah, the economic genius. He's going to make USA the greatest at everything. ????????????? Normal folk reckon he's a two bit dickhead.

The country that receives products has to pay the tarriffs, so that just means we will have to pay more too. So STOP exporting/importing to/from the US. Period. Trade with countries that NEED OUR PRODUCTS. I don't even care if we donate everything to Ukraine. \nAs for Fentanyl, people need to stop confusing prescribed Fentanyl to terminal or people suffering with chronic pain. CAR-FENTANYL is what's killing people. Artificial fentanyl. They are not the same.\nHow about we go after ALL the dope and weapons constantly coming FROM THE USA?\nI NO long have sympathy for Americans. They put a CONVICTED FELON into office. 90 MILLION Americans couldn't even be bothered to vote. You reap what you sew.

As an American who didn’t vote for the Mandarin Candidate, we’re not co-signing anything this Traitor Trump is doing. We want off this rollercoaster too, but no one is doing anything about him. Our system is corrupt and there are no paths to getting out of this unless he’s removed from office and shown for the treasonous snake he is.
