I’m an American. I admire Canada as an Ally and neighbor. I can’t imagine a better international neighbor to have. The people there are kind and strong. The Trump administration is single-handedly trying to tear down alliances. To what end? Most likely self enrichment. I’m hoping for a normalization of relations as soon as possible. I don’t want a trade war, or any kind of war with Canada. ?? ??

I'm totally with Canada 100%

I'm an American from Michigan but I stand with Canada.

I'm an American and I'm so ashamed of the irresponsible actions of our government. Our nation is quickly being handed over into the hands of our enemies with our faithful allies removing their support from us because Trump can no longer be trusted. I support Canada and their leadership.

Hey Canada I’m a highly skilled laborer and I want out of the US. Can I please move up there?

I'm with Canada ?%

As an American I’m SO disappointed in our current administration and president, respect to Canada…

Not everyone sold their soul, decency, humanity and dignity to Trump. I'm with you, Canada.??

Trump wants to invade Canada I'm sure it will happen

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Dear Trudeau, most Americans don’t want this either. This crazy egomaniac needs to feel power at the expense of the American people. I’m sorry Canada.

I'm an American. I did not vote for him. I stand with Canada.

I'm an American, this is making me cry. For real. We love Canada.

What an incredible speech! As a U.S. American, I’m ashamed of our country. I stand with Canada.

An oregonian here. I want to be part of Canada. So embarrassed to say I'm a citizen of this choas?

I'm curious how much tariffs does Canada charge the US?

I’m an American . I think your dude needs to slow his roll. I don’t think we need Canada and we don’t want to support anyone who would close his citizens bank accounts because they don’t like what they support. Remember that !?

I think I'm moving to Canada ??

As an American I’m proud and glad that Canada isn’t putting up with Trumps nonsense. Do what you need to do Canada, the American PEOPLE love you ❤

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

Why is this guy still talking? I thought he had quit already. I'm so confused on Canada 's politics. If someone resigns why are they still holding office? Someone please let me know what the rules are in Canada?

I'm with Canada ? . This PM speaks the truth on every level .

I'm ashamed of my country.Trump does not care about the.U.S.We are behind Canada and apologize for what he is doing

We don’t want this either Canada, at least not the majority of us. I’m sorry for the mess we’ve brought to you and hope our government can move swiftly to “correct” this issue that is the orange blob in the White House

I'm with Canada

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

I’m so sorry Canada! ?? We love you! Trump sucks and JD Vance ?‍???????

I’m standing with our friends in Canada. I wish they will export more to us in Europe. I’m also boycotting the US for the evil regime that they elected.

I’m American, and as hurtful it is to say that, because I know it’s gonna affect me. I stand with Canada. I would do the same. This is a disgraceful administration we are now.

I'm from Michigan and I'm standing with Canada,Bonespurs is the most dangerous insurrectionist racist sociopath corrupt unpatriotic person in America history when can my family become a citizen this country is too evil

USA- We don't want this either. Stay strong. We live in a challenging time. We love Canada. I'm so sorry.

I’m from Ohio, just across Lake Erie from Canada. I would heartily endorse Canada accessing us. Less than 2 months in, I am absolutely sick of where we are. If I were young and a working person, I would look about leaving the US.

Fuck America, I'm moving to Canada ??

I'm from Texas. I hate the cold but I'm warming up to the idea of moving to Canada.

I'm a Detroiter, I live right across the river from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This is going to kill the U.S. Auto Industry! I stand with CANADA on this one ??

This American doesn't support Trump.'s insane policies. I'm sorry Canada & Mexico.

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

Ashamed to be an American. I'm sorry, Canada (and for that matter, the rest of the world).

I am fu*ing disgusted. I'm 58 years old, and I grew up in a country where Canada seemed like the little brother from the north. Russia (USSR) was and still is an advisory. I am confused. No other president has ever done anything like this, and apparently for no reason but to be nefarious. Please impeach this psycho path before he ruins the country beyond repair. ????

I’m an American & I stand with Canada!!!?????

Donald Trump doesn’t use big words like this guy lol I’m moving to Canada ??

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

I’m moving to Canada… “you my friend, then let me in!”?? -Martin Lawrence ~you so crazy

I support Canada & Ukraine and I'm American!!
