I'm so sorry my country's leadership are being such buttheads right now. I dont want this either Canadians.

I am in the floral industry and we’ve bought lovely Canadian grown flowers for our business I am very sad to see this tariff occur \nCanada is also a lovely country and I have visited several times I love your country I’m sorry for the crazy decisions of our government

Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

Sorry half the people in this country are idiots and their leader, I'm embarrassed and agree with you 0

I'm sorry Trudeau. This is what a strong Prime Minister looks like. Standing up for our country, not bowing down to a bully and his every demands.

I'm so sorry I'm an American and I'm just ashamed as to what's going on and I'm not just one there's millions of people even people who voted for him have changed there . He did not win by a landslide it was really close down to two states. I wish for your country only good things.god bless

As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

I’m so sorry, on behalf of these idiots ruling our country.

Canada, I’m sorry my country’s president is doing this. ? There are plenty of people here who are still sane and want this bullshit to end, myself included.

The President of the United States is trying to destroy America economically in my opinion. Don’t take it personal Canada. He’s fired over 20,000 people from their jobs with absolute disregard in disrespect. He left to get rid of which employed 7000 people! Trump led the charge to get rid of TikTok and then he left Office and it happened but he’s the one who started it all 7000 people lost their job jobs. He’s cutting Services to all American people with all these job losses and he doesn’t care!! He just cares about his wife, Elon, and making America white again! To start trade, wars is crazy when we’re just recovering economically from the pandemic, but he doesn’t care because being the president has made him rich because he breaks every law!! I’m so sorry Canada that we have so many idiots in this country that voted for this man because they’re racist and they wanna make America white again. It’s not about making America great it’s about making it white. Unless you do one of those so-called what he calls black jobs. Don’t really need to explain anymore than that. Either know some history or don’t. Hopefully this idiot will either change his mind when he realize what a catastrophe he’s caused or he’ll be gone soon!! From an American, who did not vote for Trump and never would vote for Trump with good reason!!

Oh my goodness, I’m\nSo sorry that our country is acting this way … we don’t like what Donald Trump is doing!

Trudeau has always been good in a crisis and for that I’m sorry to see him go. I give a thumbs up for all of parliament for putting differences aside in these last few weeks to fight against trump. I hope we bolster our trade with other countries and never go back to the USA.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

I am so ashamed of my own country. This is not my president. And I'll never vote for another Republican again. I'm so sorry, Canada. I stand with Canada.

I'm so sorry Canada - most of us here can't stand Trump and didn't vote for him. Please forgive this offensive betrayal of our countries' historical friendship

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people

I’m sorry Canada! It’s not my fault I didn’t vote for Trump. Unfortunately that didn’t make any difference because a majority of this country is dumb AF.

American here who voted against Trump in 2020 and 2024… I’m so sorry on behalf of my country. Dark times are truly ahead.

As a citizen of the USA who voted against Donald Trump, I'm sorry for all the damage this monster is doing to the world. It is a horrible stain on the history of this country and the bright men who founded it, as imperfect as they were.

I’m so sorry for my country. I am embarrassed and don’t agree with any of this.

You just cannot trust!! I’m sorry my country has done this. So unnecessary.

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

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.

I'm sorry our country was taken by a coup.

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

I’m sorry Canada. We have 77million people who voted for this moron. I just hope they see what they did and never vote for another Republican. We need strong honest people running our country. Not a bunch of faithful followers with no back bone. Can’t wait , we vote every two years . That’s when we will dismantle this cult. Hey democrats get out from under your rocks.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

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.

Really bad policies that are destroying America. As a Canadian I’m so very sorry to my American friends, family and all patriots, that my alleged gov has allowed & encouraged, both into and out of Canada the most evil & vile ppl on Earth. They belong in neither country and must be permanently expelled & borders locked up tightly c/w only legal crossings at legal border crossings. So sorry America, we love ya’ll.

I’m sorry.. our country has been a mess for a long time because our government is so corrupt we haven’t been able to get rid of them. Only a couple months left I hope.. and we’ll quickly get it together ??

If we have so many crooks in this country or gangs or whatever why is it all the violence or most of it is in your country. I’m sorry about this cash. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos, especially on condos, but you are over reaching on this one, no one neither America nor Canada wants illegal entry but a few years ago we had hordes of people coming across our Quebec border where we had to put up huge tents and sanctuary from you. Yes, America. So stop this crap what do you want tit for tat. Do you know how much cocaine was seas at our border coming from? Guess where your country good old USA. This is all BS.??

If it was me I'd close our border down for 20 years, we can't afford these people where over 36 trillion dollars in debt, we don't have the jobs, we don't have the housing, we can't feed these people we need to take care of America ! Sorry I'm not a racist ,I just care about our country that's the bottom line !

As a Canadian... I'm so sorry. As you can see, our country has a lot of problems right now.

I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for individuals who want to break our laws and then demand that we take care of them. Why should we feel bad how about criminals who are breaking our laws? We have individuals who are living in the streets, we have veterans who are not being taken care of, and a host of other things let the government has failed to do. You can have your own freedoms by working within your own country to fix the situation. Thank you to the brave men and women of the Border Patrol for holding the line I'm protecting your country. Also the troops that are there as well as all the other law enforcement agencies. Thank God for each and every one of you

I'm sorry you didn't like being cuffed and shackled, but you came into a country Illegally. That's what happens to criminals in America. I'm sure you will get over it. The Indian people are good people, we just want them to come in Legally.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t see how this is a problem for our country, then you need your head examined. Because what nobody tell you, American citizens were evicted from their homes, evicted, no warning, no severance package, nothing. Why. Because we have to house these people. Now you tell me. You go home and there is an eviction notice. Your dumbfounded as to why so you go ask. It’s so we can house illegal immigrants. Is that ok. You have no problem with them coming here, so I bet you have no problem with Americans being evicted so we can house these people, right?

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

Goes to show you how many South American countries are run by dictators and the average citizen I'm not talking about the criminal element who could also be women not just men are sent here. As I said before a man and his wife with children who want to come here legally to bring their trades with them and pursue the American dream and have their children enrolled in American schools work and whatever industry that they have experience with or schooling themselves are welcome. The individual very leery about just the men and just women coming across the border without family there's a subliminal message there very dangerous sorry to say and this is coming from a legally registered independent voter neither Republican nor Democrat

I’m sorry that they can’t make a living in their own country but when you come into my country. Without promotion. Then you’re braking the law.
