Speaking as an American in the Detroit area, we are sorry this is happening! Contrary to what the Trump administration is saying, the majority of Americans DID NOT vote for him or this utter BS. We are watching in horror. We know Canada, Mexico and Europe are our friends and allies, no matter what spin Trump spews out

Canada ?? we are sorry about our dumb president. we are with you, i would love to live there. union member and home owner. proud father, husband, and american would like to say, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time….

I say this to all Americans, t***p goes on and on about President McKinley as he used Tariffs on behalf of the US . Does he not realize McKinley was assassinated? McKinley was a nut job as well. I'm so sorry Canada for this childish rhetoric coming from our idiots in thief.

Im sorry Canada. And the rest of the world as well. All I can say is a LOT of us did not support or vote for this insanity and we still stand with you all.

As an American I can say with a full heart that I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Donald Trump is a pig and the majority of the American people are complete and utter assholes for electing this deranged demagogue piece of shit. To the world at large, I'm deeply sorry for the stupidity of my people.

Justin Trudeau I believe what your saying and I totally disagree in Trumps tariff wars. I am sorry we are here. When Trump asks again about become a state of America tell him to go screw himself.

We Canadians ??like to say sorry a lot. So here goes. We are sorry Americans elected an evil a..hole. We are sorry we are cancelling all travels to US. We are sorry Trump is tanking the Stock Market. We are sorry Trump did not get to kiss Melania on Jan 6. We Canada are not sorry to fight back with every ounce of strength against an evil bully! ?

Trump is aware but he doesn't care. It was NEVER about drugs at the boarder. It was trump being used willingly as a puppet by Putin to take the U.S. out which could never happen unless we are no longer a part of NATO & have no allies. The next step will come in 3 years when he uses those he's put in place in the military to stay in office FOREVER! I'm sorry to say this but we've given away America. It will never recover.

To the rest of the world: As an American citizen, I just want to say that I'm sorry our population was dumb enough put an incompetent, fascist, narcissistic conman fuckhead into the white house where he could screw everything and everyone (us included) up. Not all of us voted for this or want this. Not all of us are dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.

As an American let me just say sorry to Canada

Prime Minister Trudeau, I can safely say I do not support what Trump has done, and definitely did not vote for the orange man. The majority of us Americans are with you... We are sorry. This is just a hot mess, and it is only March...

Please say Trump, not all of America is with him ,he is our worst nightmare. I am so sorry

Greetings from California! I stand with all of our friends in Canada, Mexico and China! I did not vote for this catastrophe but am definitely feeling the pain of these horrendous tariffs. My heart is with our friends up North and I hope you understand that many of us here in the US did not want this. We are plagued with a complete nut case for a President who was given the ultimate power of house and Senate majority plus the Supreme Court so there is no fix for the nightmare in the near future. All I can say is I am sorry for what we all have to endure now.

As an American, I gotta say… we really shouldn’t be doing Canada like this. I get it when it comes to China and other countries, but Canada?! I do not approve! ?? and ?? are basically besties regardless of the government drama and whatever substances may be involved.\n\nMeanwhile, Mexico is out here like, “Hello? Focus on me!” ??\n\nAnd in true Canadian fashion… “I’m so sorry, eh!” ??

As an American I just want to say to Canada I am so sorry for the ignorance of trump. God bless you all

An excellent speach. Im sorry to say that nothing is ever enough for the orange dictator!

The tables have turned my friends... Buckle up, batten down... Trump is loyal to no one... America wasn't suffering for lack before this change of govt... Just look at their arms bill $$$... But Trump is like Freddy from elm street with the slashing hand... Slashing away at friends and foes... Yep, like Jason with the machete ... You short-termed memory voters unleashed the beast upon yourselves and the world... ?? Bravo... But a nation usually gets the leader it deserves, sorry to say.??

Dear dear people of Canada if any of you read any of these comments I want you to know that there are A LOT of us who are ABSOLUTELY NOT happy, about anything that this man\n who has been elected president, is doing. There are some of us who had definitely considered asking Canada for a dual citizenship. But this, I discovered is not an easy process ? we are so sad and sorry that a portion of our citizens were able to vote this man back into the White House. All we can say is, Dear Lord, please rescue us from this horrible situation ???

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

Trump belittles Zelensky our ally calling him a dictator, saying he started the war three years ago. He belittles our ally Trudeau by calling him governor. This is wrong. I'm sorry Canada. This is no way to treat an ally.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

Sorry Justin... even though I enjoyed this speech you're still responsible for ruining our country. Your woke policies and taxes have crippled the majority of Canadians and you have the nerve to say the government has our backs is an absolute joke. I don't believe a word you say and I never will. If Pierre was in office right now Trump would have respect for us Canadians. Trump despises JT and so do 80% of Canadians.

I am an American, I support Canada and Ukraine, not Vladimir Putin and Russia. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! I'm sorry to say we have a wannabe dictator as president, I will never understand how he was ever voted in as president, he is not my president.

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

Sir, with the upmost respect. Could you please not say Americans launched a trade war. I have no say, nor can I control what the idiots in the White House are doing. I am very very sorry for the situation and I am ashamed right now as an American.

This American says I am so sorry. I did not vote for him and I am still in mourning that he sits in the White House. Cannot believe how anyone could vote for him. We all knew what he is

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

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.

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.

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.

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.❤

As an American… I want to say I’m sorry for what the trump administration is doing…

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.

Mr. Trudeau, as an American all I can say is we are sorry for the action of our President. The man is a deranged psychopath. No logical discussion of our mutual trade benefits will have any impact on a dysfunctional and insane individual such as our President, a man whose name shall not be spoken.

Im American. Cant say that proudly Anymore!! I Stand with Canada!! To the Canadians, Im soo sorry for what our Clown is doing to ya'll and Everyone! ?

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

I’m sorry, what did she say? I wasn’t listening ??

Im sorry but i gotta say i do not agree with our government and president never have ever since 2016. Looks like i never will too since our people are so invested in teams and the propaganda spewed from both sides that actual issues get muddied.

An average American says.......WE ARE SORRY CANADA !!! Forgive the fools that voted for #Drump.

As an American I say do what you need to do. I stand with Canada. I'm so sorry this is happening ?

I live outside of Seattle Wa and visit Canada a lot and I have to say that we the normal thinking people that vote for Ms. Harris are very sorry for the mindless action of the 4 F COWARD the grifter the com man the liar.. the rapist and convicted felon.

As an American let me say I am sorry and embarrassed. Let’s wait this guy out.

This is how the weak Republicans congress and Democrats need to be saying right now. It is senseless what this sorry Congress/House have done to America in a matter of weeks!!!!!!!!

This American wants to say: I'm sorry. Most of us do not want this madness or any bad blood with our neighbors to the north...or even the south. But, many Americans voted for the Orange dipsh*t so...again, most of us are sorry about this.

I am an American and I want to say stay strong to Canadians. I am really sorry that this happened due to a bunch of idiots who voted for Trump.

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

CNN = pro Canada Anti American .....makes me sick ....Canadian = someone punches them in the face and they say I'm sorry .

I hope you don call trump next day to say sorry..like zelenaky

Canada. I don't even know what to say. I grew up 2 hours south of the border. The world sees that Canada has kept their word the whole time. I'm so sorry for you and for us. This is so dumb.
