Canada will find other markets for their products and the US will have to scramble. This is such a stupid, stupid shame. Stupid people voting for stupid leaders doing stupid things. I'm sorry, Canada.

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 ???

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

Sorry Canada I don't want this at all and I didn't vote for him #ImpeachDonaldTrump #notMyPresident

Half of our voters chose to do this to us. Everyone still happy with your vote if you voted Trump? \n\nI’m sorry Canada. ?‍???

Go Canada, let him have it. Know that most Americans don’t support his actions. More than half of us DID NOT vote for him, and those that did likely had no idea what tariffs were or certainly didn’t understand how they work. Though I didn’t vote for him, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry to the entire world for the horrible decision so many people in my country have made.

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

So sorry Canada I was born there in Quebec Canada and have lived here since childhood in the US you are our neighbors and I can’t believe this is happening and my hopes are that this will all be settled. We didn’t vote for Trump so please believe as Americans that we don’t agree with this that we are not all as Americans are on board with this

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

Many of us did NOT vote for this administration - It's not Americans - it's this administration! We re SO sorry Prime Minister - We Americans love Canada! We will get through this - somehow!!!! Hopefully resume our relationship with you/Canada!

As an American, I'm sorry to Canada and those of us who didn't vote for Trump. We don't deserve this and the ones who voted for him, you need to repent and wonder if it was really worth it. This mess is just the beginning. God help us!

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.

We love Canada please do not forget over half of the US DID NOT vote for that traitor. WE agree with your decision to protect your country, BRAVO! So sorry for you all! And us?

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

Sorry Canada, I didn't vote for this.

Well said. Sorry Canada, I didn't vote for this orange monstrosity of a president

I am so so very sorry for all of this, so Canada hit the USA where it hurts, those of us that did not vote for this facist will stay strong and survive the hits you need to make. Canada we support you!

I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

I’m sorry Canada. ?I didn’t vote for that orange blob.

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!!

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!

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!

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 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 ?.

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 ?

Sorry you have to talk to us like toddlers Canada. I’m in western Washington, I’ll vote to become Part of Canada any time!

Sorry, Canada. I didn’t vote for him. I feel bad for all of us who saw this train wreck coming.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

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 sorry Canada I didn't vote for that piece of shit but I'm sure going to have to pay for it

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

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

I hate being an American. I did what I could but failed. Countrymen voted against it, and well .. we are now all in this hell together. Left stuck and upset at all of this. I am proud of Canada and wish we had a more capable leader. I am so sorry to everyone else. Know its not everyone in america follows the goons about.

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

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

We have 2 mode in Canada : we are sorry and YOU WILL BE SORRY. Because how americans had voted.By the way, you can complaint only if you vote for the Democrat party. Canadians right now can complaint but we are strong, we are resiient, we never start a war BUT, we never back time when it was time of a war. We join our ally when it was a need.

Deer Canada we the American Patriots are against this everyone didn't vote for these horrible people in office we will not back down from our government we are sorry for the felon and his regime this is not the American way but it's a disgrace and disgusting embarrassment we stand with our allies

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

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.

Canada I didn’t vote for him nor do I support his tariffs so sorry about Trump and Vance

77 million voted for this nut case but 250 million DID NOT! We stand with Canada and are embarrassed and so sorry!!!

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.

Canada, I am so sorry! ? Please know that not all of us voted for this orange haired moron.

I'm an American. And I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and all of our European allies. I do not stand with my president and my government. I'm sorry Canada. I didn't vote for this.

Sorry Canada, I didn’t vote for this idiot.

I did not vote for Trump. Nor did my family and friends. I am deeply ashamed to be an American right now. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am so sorry for all that is happening.

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.
