As a North American I’m glad Canada is holding their ground. It might be the proof our errant voters need to come to their senses

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm American but I support you and Canada. ??❤️?

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

American here that doesn't like this. I'M SORRY Canada. \n? \n?❤\nI would rather be Canadian. Any room up north for a cannabis honor student ? and artist???

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Please know that not all Americans back our felon in chief. I don't understand how he got back in office, but I'm proud of Canada for standing your ground. Don't give in to him!

I'm American and I don't blame Canada one bit. They must do what they must do against a lunatic.

An American from Indiana: I'm angry at Trump+Musk's policy and support Canada. I'd be happy if Canada put a 100% tariff on Elon Musk's Tesla.

I’m an American Veteran. I’m team Canada.

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. Trump is not what we stand for, I’m so ashamed.

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

I'm a Mexican American and I stand with Canada.

As an American, I'm so sorry, Canada. I can't say I don't know anyone who wanted this. But I am not one of them, and never have been. This is insane.

As an American, I’m going to need to move to Canada for the next 4 years!

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

I'm Ukrainian-American, and my husband is retired from US Marine Corps. We stand with Canada ?? \nThanks to everyone who supports Ukraine ??

I'm American. I stand with Canada!

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

Absolutely disgusting. How as Americans do we begin to apologize for this? I'm so sorry to our allies. I'm so enraged that I'm crying. Canada is our friend and this scumbag and his sycophants have destroyed that friendship. I'm so sorry everyone. This is devastating ?

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

I am an American but I stand by Canada do you say I'm a traitor? no the traitor is living in the White House, now put that in your pipe and smoke it ?

Clown, excused convicted sexual assaulter trumpet needs to be removed for destroying our country ?. I'm an American and stand with Canada !!!!

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

I m not American but live in US and I stand with Canada!

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

I’m an American, but I am not feeling very safe in my own country. I do not like what is going on. I feel very helpless and concerned about what the future holds. I am with Canada, and Ukraine. I am embarrassed and ashamed of our government and what is happening.

I'm an American and I stand with my President. The rest of you should pack up and go to Canada or Ukraine

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

LFG Canada ???????? take those American products off the shelves. I’m not giving a cent to America

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

I'm an American. I stand with you, Canada, do not back down to this egotistical buffoon we have as president.

I’m American & I did NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP! I stand with you Canada! Do what you need to do!?

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

I'm an American that stands with Canada.

I’m a CAN/US dual citizen, my feelings are pretty mixed… but this time, I’m standing with Canada. Big thanks to those American friends who are standing with Canadians.

I’m an American, and I am with you PM and Canada.

I'm an American and I totally stand with Canada

I wonder how many Americans bring fentanyl into Canada ? I’m sure it’s pretty even.

I'm an American and I stand by Canada on this!! ?? ??

As a born and raised Canadian who is now American I am deeply sorry that the U.S. is doing this. I’m glad Canada is fighting back.

I'm American and I'm on the side of Canada in all of this crap!!
