I'm personally sorry to every single Canadian.( We The People ) of America don't want this. Since I began working in 1980 at 15 years old I praised all of materials and tools that I bought from your country Canada. All of them still work 45 years later. I hope we can have a great relationship in the future. Lov Kev

He's such a great speaker and demonstration of a leader. Intelligent, integrity and inspiration. Not to mention handsome also. So grateful and proud to have a leader and be Canadian. I am sorry to our good American friends for what crap you need to endure - stay strong and don't back down

Did you Yanks all forget that Canadians have 2 settings: Sorry and You'll be sorry! Have at 'em my Canadian brothers and sisters.

To all beloved Canadian folks..... Being an American I am truly sorry for our President doing such to you good folks and allies of ours!!

Americans really love Canadians. You are our family. Most of us don”t understand Trump”s plan either! We are sorry! Don”t give up on us please.

Canada is our friend, our best friend, he is absolutely right. i'm sorry that my country is insane, Canadians.

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

Im sorry this man is all for the mutilation of children, his country despises him and hes trying to jump on the bandwagon so people forget he is the worst canadian leader to ever be in office.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Good to see a world leader stand up to Trump. Its about time. Canadians should be sorry to see Trudeau go at a time when you need a good leader.

Dear Canadians,\nWe are so sorry that 1.5% of us are so fucking stupid as to fall prey to the cult of the orange stain.\nWe are So sorry and will miss you terribly. I hope you take us back one glorious day.\n\nmaga are traitors to our beloved friendships

So sorry Prime Minister Trudeau to u and ur lovely Canadians! For this trade war! We as Americans well most of us feel really bad We r going threw so much more hardships because of dumb decisions going on in our government

I'm a Canadian and I welcome becoming the 51st! I'm sorry for what our communist canada has allowed to pour into your country. Hopefully we can become the 51st without any violence and see some real prosperity. Canada was sold by our prime minister long ago, hopefully yall can buy it back. God bless america!

If you’re Canadian and backing this POS, I feel sorry for you.

As a Canadian, sorry fellow Americans; I’m not buying a single American made thing. No Milwaukee tools, or bits. No California produce. No American made furniture. No American fast-food brands. I’ll take 4times the time to shop to make sure not even a Qtip made in the US gets bought with my money. Deteriorated is an understatement.

Im sorry Mr Trudeau, im sorry Canadian people. This American voted against this madness, and I do not support this ally of the evil of the world that is currently occupying the white House. This executive branch of the US government, along with the propaganda machine are fueling the supporters of this nonsense and they may not be able to determine the trauma that decisions like these tariffs, like putting down a great leader of a sovereign nation that was attacked by an aggressive country like Russia. This is going to do nothing but hurt people on every side.

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???

Thank you Mr. Trudeau, for being such an honorable man. And let me say here: most Canadians, because they are generally more intelligent than most Americans, realize that less than 50% of the US voters voted for the sorry excuse for a leader.

?We, sane Americans apologizes to all Canadians… we do not want this either… it is very unfortunate that we have a clown and Putin’s poodle in the oval office??? we are so sorry…

Dear Canadians, we're sorry. Many of us hate Trump and didn't vote for him.

I am so sorry to all affected, everyone, from a very sad Canadian right now

I’m documented Ukrainian immigrant and now American. Canadians, please know that we don’t want this and as Ukrainian please know that your support is so special and appreciated! Always. Thank you and sorry. Do what you have to do.

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

I grew up in Detroit on the American side of the Detroit River. Have always loved Canada and Canadians...who have always been kind and wonderful neighbors...sorry about this.

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

Canadians are reasonable (00:34) , for sure. And you definitely do not want to get into a fight with a Canadian. Their hospitality and reasonableness is outmatched only by their affinity for fighting (especially after a half a dozen Molsons). I would rather fight a wolverine than a drunk angry Canadian. I'm just busting' chops, Sorry Canada for our (America's) disturbing behavior

I am so sorry Canadian people, This is not what most of us wanted, so you do what you must do, in order to protect your people, and just remember, most of us Americans stand with you.

Just so our Canadian brother and sisters know 231 million American people DID NOT WANT THIS! those 77 million Maga maggots and Donald Trump DO NOT represent us, AT ALL!! he and his goons will single-handedly destroy this Country. I'm so incredibly sorry this is happening!

Trudeau is the epitome of western society's moral decay, under his leadership Canada has become a radical third world country, from gay marriage to state sponsored marihuana, to state sponsored gambling that floods the country. As a result, Canada today is the bedrock and safe haven for criminals, while ordinary Canadian people's lives continually decline, especially the working class who are struggling yet still cannot make ends meet. A lot of Canadians either have moved to the US, or they would like for Canada to be part of the US so that they have some hope. I am sorry for the Canadian people but have no sympathy for Trudeau.

I no longer believe there is anything Trump could do to deter his supporters. He’s openly aligning with dictators and bullying our allies, dismantling checks and balances and consolidating power, even talked about a third term?! Everyone in the government going along with him clearly has dollar signs in their eyes and a “if you can’t beat him, join him” mentality. Sorry Canadians. If you’re worried, I promise we are too. At least I am.

I feel so sorry for Canadians who have lived under such weak leadership! And I thought Joe was bad!

Sorry but I went to school with some Canadians & they were top in medical classes. ?

This is the greatest speech the world has heard since Winston Churchill ?. From England I salute you Canadians ? ?? ??????? ?? ??. I’m sorry the unintelligent and uneducated from the US backwaters voted in that orange fck, but karma’s a b1tch and they can now enjoy paying premium prices across the board in their self appointed ‘great’ country ?

I’m an American and I am with the Canadians. I’m sorry that my government and MAGA are doing this to you all.

Sorry Trudeau you are WRONG snd the TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT TAXPAYERS WHO ELECTED DJT WILL STAND IN SUPPORT OF HIS AGENDA AND WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY YOUR LEFTIST SOROS-BACKED ONEWORLDGOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA.. YOU COULDNT BE MORE WRONG.. US WOULD LIKE YOUR COOPERATION IN EQUAL ECONOMIC ENDEAVORS BUT YOU ARE BURNING ALL YOUR BRIDGES TO US CANADIAN ECONOMIC STRATIFICATION

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

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!!!

So sorry to our Canadian friends, we are stuck with a fool.

Trudeau for American president!!!\nI’m so sorry Canadian for our Russian puppet tormenting us all.

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

I am your friend & ally. I’m so sorry, Mr. Trudeau, the Canadian & Mexican people. ??

I am so sorry, Canada. The Canadian people don’t deserve this from anyone, especially us.

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

wish i was Canadian.. so sorry. for whatever it's worth; i voted for Kamala.

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.

As an American, I'm sad about what my government is doing to a long time friend. Canadians, I'm sorry about this.

Trump does not care about Canadians,he doesn't care about Americans trump only cares about Russia and pleasing putin,as an American i am sorry people in our country made a bad mistake putting him back in after we got him out even then he tried to overthrow our government, he is a 34 count felon those thing were not enough to hold him off i am not proud to be an American i am ashamed of my country

We will not back down ha your a joke, you haven’t done anything for the Canadians you have put us in the ground. You haven’t fought for are country in years. Sorry but I don’t believe you, never have and never will. You don’t care about us Canadians to you we are a number.

Trump launched the trade war that very few people in the US wanted, and those who did want it don't understand how the economy works and probably didn't graduate grade school. I'm sorry to our Canadian friends and neighbors. The US is a world embarrassment.
