I'm proud of Canada I'm ashamed of the United States

I find myself (United States Citizen) cheering for any country imposing tariffs on the United States. Put the largest shit stain (excuse my language) on Trump's presidency. It is the only way his brainwashed followers will understand. Make things expensive and make them think twice about who they voted for. I would absolutely love for them to be able to watch this and understand, but they have been brainwashed since 2016. The only thing that will be real to them, is the impact on their finances. If you do that, the 2026 midterms will be an absolute wave of republican seats flipping Democrats.

That criminal president is ruining our country. I stand with Canada all the way. I'm sorry for our shitty government and not proud of united states.

The United States is absolutely doing what is right for Americans period and of story way past time.

Heys guys, I think you in the USA would be better asking this President to annex you until you can get rid of Donald for good...??? I'm from a country across the pond (Portugal) and this is the kind of guy I'd like to make alliances with.\n\nThat freak show trap your #1 and #2 put up for Zelensky last friday was sick. The civilised world really needs to unite and help eachother in every way and the guy you put in charge doesn't seem much into it. United we win!

Canada has a population of 40 million while the U.S. has 330 million. Take a wild guess why Canada has a trade surplus with the United States.

Trudeau should have told the world that the reason Donald duck Trump wants Canada is because Putin wants it if the idiot Donald duck Trump can take Canada it would be agift to putin so that Donald Duck Trump is the king of the United States

As of April 2024, Canada owed the United States $328.7 billion, making it the fourth largest foreign owner of US debt.

At this point, the pure evil in the world is right now the United States.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Donald Trump Want to hand Putin \n the United States on a silver plate.

Trump gone ruin United States, they will be alone, and unfortunately china will take US place in internacional institutions.

Watch how Canada crumble and for the people that’s from the United States. That’s not happy to be in the United States. You guys can leave.

As an American we made our bed now we get to lay in it. God I hope America can unite again.

He is destroying The US from the inside out. No economist or politician in their right mind would make these moves unless they are trying to ruin the economy. Trumps revenge is to take down the United States. there is no other explanation?

Sorry, Canada, Trump represents a monkey wrench to me. We need a crisis in this country to raise the chances that we will not only unite against Trump, but the establishment as well. Truthfully, we need an alternative party in the US.

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

Canadá is fortunate to only have a border with the United States lol

Watching liberals essentially praise someone insulting the leader of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is absolutely why they keep losing, everyday Americans are exactly that, Americans, and somehow the media and liberals can’t see that

WOKE Trudeau does Not speak for all Canadians anymore..Get Out Stupid !!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA , GOD SAVE THE KING...UNITE THE COUNTRIES FOR A STRONGER FUTURE...

If he is selling himself to Americans and abusing President Trump. Why does he not accept the unification with the United States and become its 51st state? Then, he can try his luck to become President of the United States. That's good for the world as well, and good for Canadian people as well.

The only thing I see positive in the behaviour of Donald Trump is that it will force European countries European countries to unite themselves

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.\nWhat unites us is far greater than what divides us. The issues and irritants that inevitably affect all neighbors are small deed in comparison with the issues that we face together--above all the somber threat now posed to the whole neighborhood of this continent--in fact, to the whole community of nations. But our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.\n\n*John F. Kennedy*

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

The sooner our country unites and gets rid of this monster that’s causing harm to ALL we will be better off. Go for it Canada ??

*IMPEACH TRUMP* as a Traitor to the United States.

The United States citizens stand with Canadians !!!

As a United States ?? citizen living in Canada ?? “I’m proud of you ?? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

The United States has given Canada less than $35.1 million in financial aid in any fiscal year since at least 2001. <<<<<<< MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE THIS AWAY

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

Over the last couple of years, a lot of Canadians have lost respect for this man, but I must give credit where it’s due. He did a remarkable job articulating what’s going on, and what to expect. United we stand! ??

I am extremely proud of the Canadian Government and all Canadians as we work together in this extremely sensative situation. May we all stay united, strong and see how much can be done to get through this ( a possible resolution?). Prayers for clarity and understanding.

They've chosen to Fuck The United States Constitution. They're TRAITORS.

Congratulations to Trump. He has sought out to apparently “put America first”. But all it appears he is accomplishing is galvanising the rest of the free world against the United States. My sincerest apologies to the American people you have been truly led astray

*DONALD TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! HE MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!*\n*THE VERY SURVIVAL OF OUR NATION, OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR SOCIETY, OUR PEOPLE, AND OUR IDEALS DEPEND ON THIS!*\n*IN FACT,...OUR VERY EXISTENCE ACTUALLY DEMANDS IT!*

We as United States citizenry are appalled by President Trump and his band of thugs over his present action's toward the free World. We all Love our Canadian neighbors and will band together with our Vote to limit Trumps policies and rid our government from their unnecessary present path of destruction. Thank you President Trudeau and we all are praying for your continual strengths on the World Theater.

*DONALD TRUMP IS A STUPID STUPID MAN! HE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE BRAINS TO BE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! AND OUR ENEMIES KNOW THIS!*\n*ALL OF OUR ADVERSARIES KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP IS A FOOL! AND THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF DONALD TRUMP'S EGO, STUPIDITY, AND GULLIBILITY!*\n*The MAGA-Republican Party is to blame for all of this! They supported Donald Trump every step of the way, and they are helping Donald Trump do all of these evil, stupid things!*\n*WE WILL ALL HAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO BLAME FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA! IT'S NOT JUST DONALD TRUMP'S FAULT! IT IS THE FAULT OF ALL REPUBLICANS!*

As a citizen of the United States I stand by you Canada. I’m so embarrassed and ashamed that our people have voted for such a deceitful and incompetent president.

Canada has an articulate leader. The United States has a self absorbed leader who is a sexual felon…a suspected pedophile and buddy of Jeffrey Epstein’s. Quite a difference, eh???

Russia in the future : we will not stand back and watch our ally The United States to be in turmoil from all the protest and people going against Democracy. Trump won fair and square, and we will be sending our armed forces to help the U.S control this situation.

Trump is a stupid dumb b…ard, who gains zero respect from anyone, anywhere. The USA is a laughing stock now. I love living in the United Kingdom.

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

We should see if this guy wants to be president of the United States.

I hate Donald Trump. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. He’s ruining not only the United States but he’s ruining the entire world will feel the effect of this monstrous vile and vulgar man.

Trump craves to be a dictator. He’s Putin’s puppet. He is clearly trying to align America with Russia, but Americans don’t want what this. This is the biggest betrayal to the United States, EVER! Absolutely disgusting!

Zelinsky will be crawling back to us, and Canada will tighten up their act, will drop the tariffs and that’s it. The United States runs the world.

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

As an American Citizen.. The United States Government should concentrate on Decreasing the Demand for Illicit Drugs
