As an American, we stand with our Canadian brothers except this wimp Trudeau and his terrorist sympathizer ally Jagmeet.

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

I am an American and love my country and its people. But TRUMP and Musk and Vance are villains ?! They must be defeated. And they will be stopped. We need to stick close to our neighbors and our friends in the world. Putin is not a friend. I hope our Canadian brothers know we real Americans want cooperation and friendship, not a trade war.

Sorry our brothers Canadian , you cannot even imagine how sorry we are!!!! Pennsylvania with you

Canadian sisters and brothers, you will miss this man !

To my Canadian brothers and sisters: the majority of US citizens are APPALLED at what the Orange POS is doing. I personally loathe him, and love Canada. I live across the Detroit River from Windsor. ❤❤??????

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

America is the biggest bully. This is how they treat the best brother Canada. Totally support Canadians from Aus ??

As an American right now i feel more strongly patriotic for my Canadian brothers than my own government. We should be the best of friends and allies this is such a stupid fucking step for trump to take. He's destroying our alliances. I only hope our relationship isn't irreparably damaged before his four years are up. As a western new yorker who has lived by the falls all my life, im really saddened to see this. Sorry.

As an American, I am ashamed of what the hell is going on. None of it makes a damn sense. Sorry to our Canadians brothers and sisters! Please know, We are not all insane.

Sorry to all Canadian brothers and sisters. Our leaders are aligned with Russia and backed by brainwashed, misinformed supporters.

51st cut the bs before the canadian people remove you the hard way. i like you brother though smart guy youve trashed canada

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

I’m Canadian and I’m terrified for us as well as all the innocent people that will be affected by this. I find it curious though that past presidents haven’t made any remarks, at least that I’ve seen, about all the things Trump has done in the last six weeks. Where are the condemnations about tariffs, the way Zelensky was treated and the fact that Trump is the one letting human traffickers (allegedly) across the border? As in Andrew Tate and his brother. Trump is the one allowing criminals in. Trump is the one about to sell gold cards to anyone for $5,000,000. That will include known terrorists.

karma. You did everything to set two brotherly nations, Russians and Ukrainians, against each other. You are still doing it. You interfere everywhere. So you deserve the same. And stop putting on a show for show. And don't you dare insult our President?Canadians and the government are different. Go Maga!!! Go Trump !!! ❤??

Polish-American here, \n\nI didn't want this trade war with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nWe don't need tariffs, we can work together for our prosperity. We must stop this madness and protect the values of the Western World.\n\nWake up Americans, WAKE UP!

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

Here in the US we are whole heartedly in support of all of fellow Canadians who are not only our most trusted ally and friend but our brothers and sisters entwined in the same culture, philosophy, freedom, love and respect for each other until a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender, narcissistic pathological liar, criminal, traitor and Putin lover got elected. But we are still family! We will not allow one deranged, unhinged, delusional and psychotic man spoil our relationship.

Oh my God, my heart is absolutely broken in half. I am an American citizen (I am ashamed to even tell anybody that) my brother is a Canadian citizen, and I feel like Trump has put up a wall that will now make it impossible for me to ever see my brother again.\n\n* I believe that Trump is somehow spawn of Satan. He and all his henchmen!

well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

Thanks you canada. Please no dictator. Brother and sister stand with Canadian. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤ thanks Pm.

Love you our Canadian brothers!!!!! Im so sorry!!!!! Fight fight fight❤❤❤❤❤ love you from America!!!! SemperFi!!!!!❤❤❤❤

I’m more convinced Canada is more drug & greed corrupt than Mexico. I don’t believe anything he say & pray for my Canadian brothers & sisters under the nasty regime.

As someone who is half Canadian this is stupid Canada is pretty much our brother and america needs to treat them better

He's right about Canadians we love our Brothers and Sisters, its YOU TRUDORK THAT EVEN YOUR OWN PEOPLE CANT STAND ?

Shoutout to my Buffalo brother, Wolf. It's disgusting and I am cheering for Justin and Canadian friends. I am so sorry.

Canadians. Hang in there. WE WILL take care of this pig, once and for all! And I pray our friendship will be even stronger for it, in the end. I believe I speak for most Americans when I say, you are our brothers and sisters. That is how I feel about it, anyway. This Sc**bag will not succeed! He is NOT my President! ..IMPEACH KRASNOV NOW!!!

Isn’t that the former president of the 51st state? I thought they got rid of him, maybe that’s why he wants to act so tough. Not fooling anyone though we know a Girl Scout when we see them. Canadians should really take away his toys before big brother comes and takes your whole room and everything in it.

The reason Canadians have reacted so viscerally is because they have been stabbed in the back by their brothers and sister to the south of us. What has happened was unfathomable to Canadians, it was the action of an evil mind meant to destroy.

Among the best speech ? ever given out , Canadian care for their brothers but how do trump leadership care about Americans citizens and his follow brother Canada ??

100% behind my Canadian brothers and sisters❤

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

The French stands with our Canadians brothers

Greetings to our Canadian Brothers and Sisters. Well said Mr. Prime Minister.

i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

It hit's Canadians tough because we consider Americans our brothers, we've fought in wars together for centuries done everything together.

NY stands with our Canadian brothers and sisters. Elbows up. FDT.

Canadians will stand with our brother Americans when the time comes to kick out Trump from power.

We know. You have to stand up to that traitor! We love Canada but it's only right that you fight back! You are our sisters and brothers and we want the Canadian people to flourish.We love you! ??♥️????\n\nTrump invented that excuse about the fentanyl in regards to Canada! That's not why he imposed the tariffs!\n\nP.S. He's not smart, just greedy and wiley.

From NY. REAL Americans stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nI love Canada and how it's always had our backs through thick and thin.

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

My Canadian brothers and sisters.......we all didn't vote this person in. We disagree with everything he's doing. From the way he spoke to President Zelensky to these tariffs. The xenophobic, racist, homophobic uneducated humans that calls America home are the ones that got this guy in. People that voted against their own interest. Now we all have to suffer. SMH.

FDT ???.\nAs an American, I am with my Canadian brothers.

Canadian here...??\nAmerica is like our big bother.\nI am sad to say our big brother is on Meth and needs help.

So, my Canadian brothers are getting mad at us for putting Tariffs on em. Yet they've been doing that to us for years. We've given weapons & armor to y'all at a discount. Yet y'all don't even bother to stop criminals from coming here.\nA lof of y'all Canadians are hypocrites. I love ya, but this is shii, bro. ?‍♂️

Old stock Canadian here, the majority of us never asked for or voted for the taritors in our government that brought this mess to both our Countries! Those booing at the hockey games are not the majority of us! If any of our American brothers and sisters are unaware? They should look into how corrupt and treasonous our government actually is! The old stock here that did what they could to help those Americans during 9/11 still stand by our brothers, sisters, cousins south of our border! And we are disgusted by the trash that infested our country as much as we are by those entering yours! ????

... Good. American Border Guards are FINALLY doing their job on the NORTHER BORDER !\n The traffic of people, goods AND drugs ENTERING CANADA from the US is the Job of CANADIAN BORDER SERVICES, it is NOT the fault or the problem of American Border Services to police the Canadian side of a 5,525 miles (8,891 km) border that traverses some of the wildest land in the continent ...\n The REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE ! ... Keep up the good work, my Yankee Doodle Brothers !

Sorry to our brothers and sisters to the south of us our insane gov't rather brings in the world give them all the money they need while Canadians go hungry and pay for all this. Then they go to the states to warmer climate while still getting free money and renting out their free apt to someone else and work down in your country for more money and nicer weather while our seniors in Canada go to food banks

As a US citizen, I have to wonder, if pushing our Canadian brothers and sisters is the best choice. Have we forgotten that the Geneva Convention is basically a list of Canadas Military achievements?

Consequences? I think Canadians are suffering the consequences of failed leadership just as we have here in the US. With the election of Donald Trump it's perfectly clear that the policies have changed here in the US. I wouldn't be too worried about the future of either countries at this stage. I predict by this time next year there we still be lights in my home, gas in my car, food on my table, and love in my heart for my Canadian brothers and sisters to the north. Future looks Bright! :)
