As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

As a Canadian, I'm ready to deal with any consequences of this. Weldone PM ❤ ??

As a Canadian, I'm fearful what's in store for us and our friends in America. Seems the governments of both countries always have their hands in both people's pockets.

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

I'm with the Canadian people and nation 100%.

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

As a Canadian who won’t be voting Liberal mostly because of Trudeau , this is one of his best speeches and I’m glad he’s standing up for us!

I'm teary ? while watching this.\n DONALD TRUMP Why you're doing this to us all? YOU ARE FULL OF GREED. MAY ALL THE WEALTH YOU WANT COMES WITH YOU 6 FEET UNDER.\n .. We CANADIANS will fight until the end. ?? ? ?? ? ?? ?

I despise Trump fiercely and, I'm Canadian, and I strongly dislike Trudeau....but I love his response. \nWe owe Trump for one thing:\nOther than his mindless minions here, he's united Canada more than we have been for a long time.

America is a shit stain on the sole of Canadas shoe. I'm so proud and inspired by the Canadians right now.

I'm Canadian and the conservatives have been 20% ahead for 2 years. This guy should be scorned for the massive GDP per capita fall that Canada has experienced. We are suffering because of him and he won't leave.

Based on what Trudeau said, I'm really Canadian. Yeah!!!

As a Canadian ???????? I'm proud of your sincere words Mr. Trudeau ???❤️?❤️ Bravo

We don't want this either Mr Trudeau, but I don't blame you. I'm with you on your side. and hopefully, my people will be on your side since Mr. Trump fooled the American people. We pray for everyone plus the Canadians. God be with you and everyone else.

I’m damn proud to be Canadian and even prouder of our Prime Minister. A truly stunning and historic moment.??

I’m an American woman standing with Canadian people. I am so sorry this is happening ? why would Americans vote for him?

As a Canadian, I got to admit I'm more than a little bit worried that Trump wants to rename us Poland.........\nUgh

I’m so proud of Justin Trudeau and thankful to be Canadian.

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

Trudeau was so successful as PM of Canada, that the Canadian ppl voted him out.. and now I'm expected to believe that he has Americas interests at heart? sounds like he is pleading his case so they don't lose their biggest consumer/investor... he sounds like a child trying to convince his parents that he should be allowed to have their friends spend the night.

A recent survey in Canada revealed that some 27% of Canadians now regard the US as a hostile power. I'm part of that 27%......

Wasn't he the one who locked people in their homes and oppressed them? I'm a bit ashamed to lecture others now. Canadians are smart, they've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time now

Let’s go fellow Canadians. I’m ready for any economic pain.

Hahah I would love to watch that episode when Putin comes to the Oval Office I bet Vans or whatever his name is will love his suit. I’m Canadian

Pretty bad when make even the Canadians mad..I'm from Buffalo Canada please adopt Healthcare would be awesome

I am a Canadian.\nI'd like too personally say, I'm sorry from our Country to your Country. ?\nLet's all try and stay strong.

I’m American, I wish I was a Canadian right now. Trudeau is a dignified leader and Canadians are lucky to have a leader like him… Us Americans are the losers here?

Canadian here.. we are going back in time. What is going on WORLD!!!??? I wish we could all work together.. I'm so sad. damn.

When are the Canadian borders open so I can move to Canada. I hate to say that I'm an American right now.

i'm canadian in canada we love our american neighbours just not what's in the white house

I do not care of the cost .i m canadian bring it on.i can live with lots less

Is there no one at CNN who can translate French? Really? I'm American, and I'm hoping Trudeau announces that he's making trade deals with Europe (and even China) that cut us out. Betraying our allies should never be incentvised. I'm even hoping they cut off our oil, which WILL jack gas prices, since our refineries in the Midwest are only deisgned to process Canadian crude. And the truth is that the reason for the tariffs is that Trump has direct control over them, and can probably have Elon do something with the revenue that couldn't be done with normal taxes. We're all getting screwed here.

I'm proud of this speech and I'm not even Canadian. ?

I'm a French Canadian Seperatist and I approve this message. That's how bad this is.

As a Canadian, I'm actually proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. Canadians stand up to bullies, GOP need to be afraid (politically) of their constituents not Trump!

I’m Franco-American and I support Canada. So do all of my American, Canadian and French friends and family.

I'm sure most Canadians would have preferred even harsher actions! Block all oil and electricity exports now!

I'm Canadian and the US is NOT our friend. I won't forget and I won't forgive.

Strong words from a strong and proud Canadian leader. I’m boycotting EVERYTHING American. F Trump F America.

FEEDBACK: I've operated various businesses in Canada and all I can say is, 'never again'. The BUREAUCRACY grows in strength every year, issuing more & more regulations, stifling everything. For every new rule a bureaucrat introduces, an old rule should be retired.\n\nHOUSING: It's the Liberal Government policy to pander to immigrant voters that has put us down the wrong path. I'm amazed that so few people in, say, Vancouver who complain about the astronomical cost of rent and mortgages realize that their problem is directly caused by our WEAK policy of permitting new immigrants to move to Vancouver & Toronto , instead of the 1,000 other towns where they're desperately needed. How stupid are we, to not even understand the policy issue? \n\nMeanwhile, I actually lost my apartment block in Winnipeg because the market value dropped below the mortgage balance and the bureaucracy was killing me with their conflicting rulings. So, why did my block drop in market value? Because people were leaving Winnipeg, and Manitoba. EVERYONE went to Vancouver or Toronto. Thanks for nothing, stupid politicians.. the opposition isn't doing their job when Canadians don't know anything about this.

I'm glad you mentioned the emigration and brain drain part. I'm a 30 year old engineer and I'm tired of living in Canada, I don't even identify myself as culturally or politically canadian anymore. Here's to me hoping I move to the USA with my useless degree and start over my life.

I’m part of that brain drain from Canada to the U.S. Having dual citizenship made that easy, and while I miss so many things about Vancouver, I was being totally squeezed between expensive housing and very poor income outlook. There were director level positions that were offering less than my mid level role; not a good look. Down south, I was able to jump income (not considering the exchange rate) 200% in two years, and I have far better career prospects. \n\nIt’s not great. I will always be a Canadian at heart.

Thank you so much Canadian government dear honorable seir I'm Rohingya Refuge location in Bangladesh with my small family of 4 please I need a sponsor to resetle Canada plz help me

Canadians did this to themselves. You keep electing crooks and marxsists who want to take you back to feudal servitude. I'm glad I left 30 years ago thanks to NAFTA work visa. I would not come back even for a funeral.\n\nYou made your bed, now sleep in it.

Tyler, I’m surprised. Canadians are more outraged about gun violence in the U.S., especially against children, than Americans are?! Killing children ANYWHERE in your country should make you crazy angry, and insist on changing the gun culture! Insane!

No one wants to live in Canada anymore because it's no longer land of the free it's home of who ever bitches the loudest gets there way. And for really I'm not sure there's a whole lot of Canadians in Canada not if u look around

As a Canadian I'm embarrassed by our government.

So being canadian means being white only ? All the Europeans that split tithe USA and some in canada because of their disagreements, that may be the culture of the first settlers yes. Times have changed an racist people better get use to changes. The whole earth does not belong to any one color. The Jesuse whites clin to love and worship is Jewish , yeah remember that. I l8ve mix cultures, my family is very mixed. It is possible to coexist together in love and respect and unity. Respect all faith but also respect the founding rules of the country. I personally do not agree with somethings cultural habits like child marriage etc or Muslim laws for women etc. Thank God for Canadian laws for all people. It's normal for people to bond together in the community and they all seem to feel more comfortable living ner their own ethic people. I love all people and I'm good living amongst a mixed community!

I'm canadian and this government is the DUMBEST in the history of this country,they are profiting through drug cartels sending drugs from here into the states !

Sorry Canada you deserve all the Trump tariffs ,, and I’m Canadian ffs!
