I have never seen or bought anything that said made in Canada

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

We are in this together. God bless Canada ?? . We will never give up.

I ❤Canada! Trudeau speaks the truth and shows compassion for his own people as well as for the American people. I have never felt so ashamed to be an American.

Many US citizens want to work with Canada! Eff Trump! Do what y'all need to do and we'll be working on getting that tyrant and his cronies out of office. I hope when this is all over we can be friends again and may it never happen again. Sometimes you need to slap sense into your friends and that is exactly what Canada is doing so thank you Canada.

Finaly our prime minister stands for Canada and says straight and clear exactly how it is. This is disgusting, we knew from the start the drugs are just a lie and pretext of the clown to make us join or annex Canada but WE WILL NEVER NEVER GIVE UP !! 1

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

I am from New York ?? but I am standing with Canada ?? all the way ? I am not supporting Trump or did I ever voted for this orange piece of $#*+. Trump voters and fanatics you are the blame for your ignorance. So go ahead cry on social media for your mistakes and ignorance you will never get a sympathy from me ever. I am done and I am standing on my business.

I've never wanted to immigrate to Canada more than I do today.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, We know Canada is on our side. Unfortunately, too many Americans voted for a narcissist, and narcissists are never wrong... In their mind.

Didn't vote for Trump, will never support the GOP again. I'm with you Canada. All true Americans are. Trump belongs in jail, Musk should be deported.

Canada will never trust our relationship with the U.S. again. Sorry to say that. We didn’t start this rupture. Trump did. ?

Thanking the good americans. I do feel sorry for you all. Canada will come out of this stronger and unfortunately some of us will never buy us until you get goverment that will honor their agreements....

Trudeau talking about expanding EI, meanwhile, Trump and Elon trying to pillage social security to give it to billionaires.\n\nthe difference between Canada and the USA has never been more clear.

God help America!i can't believe my family and I voted for this Nut Job! Im so sorry ? never again! Trump is Nuts and Dangerous, and now my family and friends are running errands and stocking up on food and praying ?❤️????Stay strong Canada and Ukraine!?

?️No Rational American Blames Canada?️\n…Especially, we the people who never\nvoted for Trump & Enablers and know\nwe are stuck with them-For Now. Americans\nwho did vote for Donald should be ashamed!

doews trump think we just let people threw the bofder they are very clever at smuggling the usa isnt doing anything to secure our border how many guns and drugs come onto canada oh that doesnt count right all that counts is america thats there problem everything is about them and we will win trump you can never beat us

It's Anti-Trumpism not Anti-Americanism. Take back your country, and we will be keeping ours. Canada will never be the 51st state of the USA. Viva Canada Viva Ukraine Viva America

This was never about fentanyl. The USA is planning to break Canada to annex us.

My grandfather fought in world war II and he told me never trust a Russian, Canada will trade with the European Union while America seems to want to trade with Russia and Ally with Russia, \ngood luck with that. Let me know how it works out ?

Harris voter here, you gotta do what you gotta do Canada. I don't know if I will make it through this but there are people out there in worse situations with more overtly oppressive governments, so I can't complain too much. The only thing I can do is hope that the breaking point is soon where those of us who don't hold contempt for compassion and intellect rise up and show the government that we have had enough. I have never wished misfortune upon another human being before, but Trump and Vance have blatantly shown that they are legitimately evil human beings with only their own interests in mind. They are not true Americans, because they don't care about America beyond exploiting it to their own benefit.

I have never been more embarrassed to be American and if I had the resources I would move to Canada.

Trudeau never gave a f uck about Canada he’s all talk

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

We should have never let our country Canada be so dependent on America. Yes it will hurt us in Canada but I think we will learn from this. I hope Putin is as good a friend to you as we were!

European here. I have never been stiffed by a Canadian customer. Thank you for facilitating the move of my transatlantic market from the U.S. to Canada. Funny thing: Quebecois sounds almost exactly like Bruxellois. Vive la Liberté!

Remember that the guy is convected felon. Sure he will praise dictator. Now Canada and Mexico know how they are dealing with. He and his crony isn't your or free world friend and he never will be.

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ?? I will alaway defend those who are innocent those who are being bullied by a bullies and I will always fight against a coward to thinks having more pals to bully with aren’t your friends just afraid they will be the next bullies that’s elementary play ground crap every school has that going on from K THUR 5

please... get the facts straight. The US didn't hit Canada with Tariffs.. Trump hit Canada with Tariffs. Let's be honest, without Trump this would never have happened.

We have half of the American people to thank for this, as they voted for this bafoon back into the White House!!! I’m sorry Canada that you’re having to deal with this…a lot of us Americans don’t deserve this either, but apparently this is what the majority of Americans want. I’ve never been so ashamed of my own country before. Today, this year, this era is a sad time for American’s history.

Why are we picking on our friend Canada again?? If John Candy were alive this would never happen!

What the f**k, comment by the female broadcaster saying she has never seen this level of anti-Americanism. This is not anti-Americanism. This is Canada sticking up for itself in light of irrational bullying decisions made by Trump and his oligarchs.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

Thank you for not consorting with communist pigs like chump Canada a democratic country should never allied with any communist or dictator or terrorist putin is all of those hes not an elected leader hes a dictator he took control of russia kills anyone who speaks against him you praising him alone with nazis is sick and un American its so scary that america is happy to work with the free world’s greatest enemy….

This was never about fentynal. Putin wants access to waters by Canada border. donald is playing to putins want.

With or without tariffs, American goods will never have a place here in Canada anymore. You have shown your true face and will never have a place in a Canadian household

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

American here, I have never supported tyrant Trump. I stand with Canada.

NEVER BACK DOWN, CANADA!\n\n~Sincerely, an American who NEVER voted for the orange god king.

I am USA citizen! We stand with Canada! Please adopt me?. I’m truly saddened with what we are living now. I never thought in my lifetime. I will see my country regress in time it is hurtful.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

So this will only hurt the Americans ?!? Thanks for feeling sorry for us. It shouldn’t affect you then. Good for you. I never realized we relied on Canada for everything to survive. This is crazy.? ?

Trump wants to annex Canada.\n\nNEVER going to happen. You will NEVER have our country. We are DONE.

Nobody cares what this dirtbag says in Canada. So to the rest of the world don't pay attention to this fool. He will be out and his party will never be in power again. Liberal cowards are like your Democrat cowards. Don't pay attention to cowards.

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

Dear America , Canada will never be the 51rst state. You should concern yourself on how you'll fit the hammer and sickle on your new flag.

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

VIVE LE CANADA ?? We will never be your 51st State. We know this will hurt but we are tough, we are united and we will NOT back down.
