I feel sorry for Canada. But what will these tariffs do to weaker Mexico? Do Americans really think that impoverishing Mexico will lead to less criminality and immigration from Mexico? This is crazy.

That Paula Newton lady is framing this like this is Canada's fault, not that the US started this whole situation. Canada is only responding to getting punched in the face by saying they won't let themselves continue to get punched, which is 100% reasonable. Sorry both Americans and Canadians will have to deal with this insanity and the rest of the world will have to deal with the ramifications of Trump's destructive policy.

Canada has two modes , I'm sorry. and your about to be sorry Donald love to the American people Take back your country protest loud come together show the world what democracy is

Sorry Trudeau, you're wrong, trump is NOT a smart guy.

Love you Canada! So sorry for the heinous narc dictator we've been plagued by.

Looks like another north korea has formed, sorry canada

Sorry Justin. Most of us are trying to make it make sense too. ??‍♀️

So sorry, World, for this American president’s stupidity ! As soon as I can I’m coming to Canada and spend the day apologizing for his stupidity ! Thank you for staying strong against an ignorant bully named trump ! He doesn’t even know what a tariff is and the GOP is afraid to tell him Americans Pay for it ! ????‍♀️ I hate trump ! ?

LOL America is a country ruled by dictator and the most powerful people I don’t feel sorry for you, it’s unfortunate for the normal people.

THAT'S a leader! I am so sorry for the actions of our US government!

Well I can say that Black people has nothing to do with all of this. WE have been fighting for peace and equality for ever and ever. I will admit that I do not understand politics but we understand Hate in the worst ways. I also know no one should hurt there friends. This hole thing makes me Sad . All I can say is I am sorry.

Sorry Canada & the world

Canada ...I'm so sorry. Please know that Trump does not represent the US citizens. It was a crazy moment that got out of control, and now the country is his hostage. Please help us.

On behalf of the American people, we are so sorry for our fascist dictator, and we hope and pray we can take him out of power ASAP! We are all terrified, disgusted, and shocked. Just trying to figure out WHAT we can possibly do to fight back. Thank you, Canada!

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 so sorry, Canada.

as an American, Im sorry ey

So sorry Canada, it’s not the working people in the US , it’s our poor excuse of a President. You didn’t bow down to him so he’s pissed off at you , he’s despicable..

No, Trump is actually very dumb! That is why this is happening with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico! We are sorry for our stupid president....no respect for him at all

So sorry Canada ?? , the best and only excuse we have here in the US is that the trump administration does not know what he or they of what they are doing. They are the worst administration in American history. And No, trump is not a smart guy at all. Sorry again, Canada.

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

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 stand with you, Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. I love that you have a reasonable, decent, humane adult leader, Canada, and not an insane, bloated, screaming orange toddler. I'm so sorry America has allowed this to happen, and I'm grieving for our formerly friendly relationship. Not all of us wanted this. Please forgive those of us who stand with you and our allies and not with Tr*mp, Vance, and Putin. I love you, Canada! ?? ? ?? ❤

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

Canada has two personalities - the usual self effacing ‘Sorry’ and ‘you’re going to be F**!+* Sorry’. Elbows up we can do this! ??

Jesus Christ I want off this runaway train. I am sooooo sorry Canada!! We did everything we could to tell the fools that voted for this orange felon not to let him back in the White House!

TRUDEAU YOU WILL BE SORRY...YOUR PEOPLE WILL ALSO BE SORRY, BECAUSE OF U

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

As an American, I stand with Canada. I am worried, but someone needs to stand up to Trump. I am sorry that it is not the US. So many people still support him and I just don’t understand it.

I am sorry, but smart people don't make mistakes like Trump!

Dear Canada, we are sooooooo sorry sorry rump is sooo horrendous!?

Im an American. I can tell you all of us are barely surviving and the average people feel powerless to stop this madness. Sorry Canada MAGA elected a mad man. ?

he called orange man 'Donald' LMFAO ????? GO CANADA!!!! i'm sorry my idiot government is doing this...

Dear Canada, we are sooooooo sorry sorry rump is sooo horrendous!?

Long live Tumpsky, Putin's a** licking puppet. I stand with Canada. Picking a fight with the greatest neighbor that we could ever hope to have is nuts. Sorry to disagree with PM Trudeau, but Trump is dumb af and this proves it.

Dear Canada: I am so very sorry. I do not agree with these tariffs.

As an American, I am grieving for the downfall of our democracy and the devastation it will create for everyone. We are soooo sorry!

@CNN @Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not my government, but all Americans and our allies, as well. It is reckless, and the current government is a dictatorship. They were all lies. Many of us knew that, others drank the Koolaid. I am sorry. I stand with our allies, especially @President Zelenskyy & all of Ukraine!

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

I am an American and I support Canada. I agree that these tariffs are unnecessary and I am sorry that this is happening .

As an American, I didn't vote for Trump, and I certainly don't want this. So sorry Canada ?? ?...and I'm sorry that too many of the American people fell for Trump's lies ?.

From America and I’m sorry my fellow citizens elected this asshole trump!!! I stand with Canada !!

As an embarrassed American, I'm so sorry! I voted for Kamala.

I'm sorry Canada for the orange idiot ?

This guy is an idiot and I’m sorry Canada that you have them as your Prime Minister say what you want about Trump. This guy is definitely a disgrace with no backbone of his own. He just looks like a sad, pathetic man. Why would you want him running your country he looks weak. He speaks weak. All he’s gonna do is hurt your country.

Thank you prime minister Trudeau , I am so sorry this big orange turd and his administration are doing this to Canada, Ukraine , Europe and even our own citizens!!! I did not vote for that psycho I am so ashamed of my government ?

Yes, innocent US citizens r going to suffer from our sick dictators decisions but I'm glad Trudeau is correctly retaliating. ?I'm sorry I don't hav dual citizenship because I would move to Canada for at least 4yrs ?

As an American, i want to say sorry. I didnt vote for him and i would never vote for him. Im sorry we both have to deal with this. Im so proud of you all and respect you all for this decision. Please remember us.❤
