I'm from Maine with a Franco American heritage. I am heartbroken today… remembering open borders between our countries, no passport required. I support Canada ?? and Canada's leadership looking out for their people.

I’m an American and I applaud you. Trump is evil.

I’m American, I don’t want this either

I'm American and I hope the world knows that most Americans do not agree with Trump and his co-workers,\nI am not a Trump supporter I never have and never will, He won because many of his supporters voted for\nthere hate twords anyone that didn't look like them and now they are also screwed. Trump needs to be\nimpeeched and removed from office before the US is ran into the ground.

Exactly Me Treadaeux Exactly Mr Trudeau! He who shall not be named is not my president. Nothing he is implementing will hurt his wallet!! It will only harm those of us who are working class! I’m sorry for this, but I did Not vote for him. I am utterly shocked at my fellow Americans who voted for him. If I had the resources I would be looking for another country to call home!

I'm an American and I do NOT WANT this. But we have a President who doesn't give one sh** about what the majority of Americans want and need. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM.

I'm an american, many of us did not vote for this, regardless we stand with Canada.

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

I’m American and I want to know the real reason why Trump is doing this. I believe we will never know. He’s such an embarrassment to our country.

I'm a REAL AMERICAN. I proudly Stand with Canada, Ukraine and all Sovereign Nations and allies.\n\nRussia and Putin ARE THE ENEMY!!\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!\n\nWe are United with Canada and we'll get through this TOGETHER.

Oh America why did you vote for Donald Trump. Now I'm afraid Canada will close the boarder to Americans just like the other countries that does not want American tourists. America will be the most hated country very soon. Hate to be an American right now?

I’m so ashamed of my country right now. I did not vote for Dump. \n\nWe will end up with no allies and the American dollar is already depreciating.

I'm American. I agree with this message!

Very well spoken. Most Americans do not want this. It's dumb..just like you said. I'm sorry that this is happening between our countries.

Dear Canadians,\nI'm so sorry for how the leadership of my country is treating you, one of our closest allies. I've spent a fair bit of time in Canada and I've always had a great fondness for you.\n\nI hope that this storm passes soon, and I'll be doing my part to help it pass, and I hope that in the future we can begin to repair the damage done to our relationship. \n\nWe're better together. All of us. \n\nWith love, \nA caring American

Watching this is amazing. I'm no fan of Trudie, but right now he's doing alright.\nI hate to tell the Americans watching, we did try to tell you and personally I feel for less than half of your people. The fact that the blue leaning public had to so dumb as to use THIS election to show your dissatisfaction with Biden and Harris is leading many people around the world to wonder if America is even worth worrying about at all. How can you's be this stupid you're no better than the MAGA crowd.

I'm African American and I am very disappointed about the trading war with Canada. \nTrump is a clueless person.

As an American who lives within a 100 miles of Canada, I'm sorry that my country implemented these insane tariffs. God keep your land glorious and free.

I'm an American and I stand with Canada against this racist gangster called Donald J. Trump.\nTrump will eventually lose this trade war.

Aside from this being how a world leader should speak & act, everything Prime Minister Trudeau spoke about is true. I'm American so idk the ins & outs of why he resigned but from here he's doing Canada ?? proud. Its gut wrenching that us Americans are stuck with the ? oompa loompa we have sitting in the Oval office. Trump has not only stomped all over our constitution, he's broken several laws along the way.

I'm an american, But since this administration, I stand with canada, You guys do what you have to do, Yes we'll suffer, But we done it to ourselves

I’m an American and I love Canada!!!?

I'm a New Yorker first and an American citizen second since That Idiot took office. Please, as an American listen to me. AUTOMATOCALLY RAISE YORK PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, OIL, GAS, ELECTRICITY BY 25%. Sell your products at a reasonable rate to the European Union and Asia.

Belgium stands with Canada and Mexico! Fk Trump! We also stand with every NON Maga american! May the rest of m' go down!

I'm ashamed to be a american under trump presidency

I’m an American and am with Canada and Ukraine and ashamed of the actions of our President and all those in his administration who are enabling and supporting his horrid actions. Republican Congress…WHERE IS YOUR SPINE????

I’m an American who voted BLUE. We love Canada and support your actions.

I'm an American Army soldier and I stand with Canada

The problem is Trump's doing totally the most unnecessary actions against our country and it's people! What did the American people do to deserve this unnecessary action of tariffs! They're on logic in it at all! I don't see any good reason, just tell the people why! I'm sure Trump doesn't have one if he says he does he's lying!

As an American and human being, I’m beyond embarrassed and disappointed, but not surprised. I apologize for our buffoon “president”. \n❤️ I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??❤

I'm American, thank you for standing uo to our POS Dictator

I’m an American and previous democrat and I stand with TRUMP.

I’m American, I support Trump ?

I’m an American and I stand with Canada

As an anxious autistic British American I will always stand with my fellow Canadian friends this is beyond diabolical I’m so disgusted for the people that voted for this convicted felon president ??‍♀️

as an american, i’m so scared. please do not abandon us. we are living paycheck to paycheck— and that’s those of us with jobs. we’ve put our heart and souls into voting over the past 9 years and they haven’t counted in decades. \n\ncorporate entities are running our country— politicians are no longer working for the people. we need help.

Wow! A True leader that speaks Truth!!! I'm American & I stand with Canada, Mexico & Europe, as well as with Ukraine. It is past time for our military to go rogue & remove this Cabal that is not only destroying our democracy but the world.

Let’s go Trudeau ?? this Pariah Govt must Go. Well said without casting Blame and Whining using propaganda and having weasels like musk and all his appointees to do these sick acts this is the darkest chapter in American history. I’m happy to see Canada and Mexico are the lights at the end of the tunnel. Trump and Co. Are weak individuals, there way is not the American way they can go to Russia with that nonsense.

Careful, he'll say you started it. I'm an American who spent time playing in the CFL. The people of Canada couldn't be nicer or a more fair people. They are reasonable, smart & polite. Please America don't be fooled. THEY WILL NOT STAND FOR YOUR ARROGANT ENTITLEMENT. #FAAFO I stand with 'Oh Canada'!

I'm so embarrassed to be American. I'm angry at the millions who were dumb enough to vote even one time for a FOOLISH con man who's compromised by Russia and can't even read. I'm extremely proud of Canada and Trudeau. I hope somehow the president of the US and his echo chamber are removed from office. We'll never make it 4 years.

I'm Canadian. And in my 50s. We've always tended to joke back and forth about stereotypes from our countries. I've always felt we looked up to American ideals ideas and this is why we felt strong to stand with America with many things. I've sometimes not been happy with our Prime Minister but he left a mark, and I'm proud our country is more united but I'm sad at what cost. I hope this is short lived.. I don't like fighting with family

I am American and absolutely loathe what trump is doing, and I'm not alone. Canada is doing the right thing here. Canada - please know that most Americans are on your side.

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!

American here and I’m with Canada ?? this is embarrassing and dangerous!

I'm an American who is terrified of the future. I stand with Canada and the rest of the world. I pray that this will end before we are completely destroyed.

I’m American and I’m with Canada and Mexico Europe also. Trump is the dangerous felon.

I’m Canadian. I’ve not been a fan of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the past, but he is the man for the moment and I’m so proud of him right now! Articulate, thoughtful, calm and firm. Exactly what a true leader should be. To my American neighbours: this is what leadership looks like. Bringing the country together,not tearing it apart??

Trump is destabilizing democracies worldwide per Putin’s instructions (which he is obligated to do based on what he “owes” Russia). Real Americans don’t support his actions and his communist alliances I’m at a loss on how we get this stopped.

I’m extremely happy to be Canadian and to have Justin Trudeau as our prime minister. God bless you sir. God bless the American people.

I'm an American - Thank You Prime Minister For Your Kind And Compassionate Words.\nEverybody? TIE A KNOT AND HOLD ON... TRUMP IS TO AMERICA WHAT HAMAS IS TO GAZA!\nJust Like The Palestinians Voted In Hamas For GAZA, 52% of the American People Voted Trump In.\nNOW WE ARE ALL Going To Pay For It! - WERE ALL FUCKED!
