So it is true that American aren't allowed to do business in Canada? I hear it everywhere and wanted to confirm it.

I am an ashamed American who stands with Canada and all countries who do not support Putin or Trump! Freedom for all that have humanity.

This is a true leader! Not a bullying inept leader! Much respect Canada! I'm an American!

Its funny to me that its ok for you to stick up for canada but you dont agree with our president trump sticking up for american people

As an American I STAND WITH CANADA.

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

American here standing with Canada

The clapping seals in here don't remember all the jobs that Americans lost to Canada. All the automotive jobs. Just look at Detroit. Thats because of Canduhduh.

Canada, I and the majority of Americans stand with you in this. We abhor Donald Trump. We are protesting. We are pressuring our leaders to stop this nonsense. We will purchase Canadian goods whenever possible to support your econony over our own. We will do more if it is required. It has been a long time since the American left has had to rise and fight... but we will fight. \n\nI am sorry... so very, very sorry... for what the ignorant minority who elected Trump has done to you and to my own country. The good news is, it will not last forever. We - the educated, empathetic, democracy loving Americans, raised on the stories of past heroes who stood up against corrupt governments - we will make sure this ends. The sooner, the better. Stay strong. We're fighting for you too.

American 100% standing with Canada and Ukraine.

Im American. Not a big fan of Trudeau. But you were far too nice to my country and especially to the Trump regime. I think most americans are on your side. Do what you gotta do we're with you. Slava Canada

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

An American from Texas and I stand with you, Canada ??.

American here impressed by Canada's response! I didn't vote for the monster in the oval office. I wish our country would wake tf up.

Trudeau has spent the last 9 years destroying Canada. He is supposedly on his way out. Most of Canada want him gone the guy was a drama teacher that lost his job for an inappropriate relationship with a minor. He arranged a NDA for a couple of million. All Americans see is his hair and his speaking ability. You can’t believe any of the word salad out of his mouths. Canada’s most corrupt PM ever.

I as an American 100% support Canada this is ridiculous, I’m not sure why he would do this to our closest ally.

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

Yeah we dont gaf. Been trying to get Canada to help protect the American continents for decades from Russia. \n\nYou're full of the old white owl.\n\nTired of the spending ...time to grow up. Gave out right fa tories to Canada and Mexico whole industries to help them along and the sacrifices was like a participation trophy.\n\nBring it.

As an American ?? I 100% stand with Trump. America first. You do you Canada and we will do us.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

I'm Brazilian, and it legit makes me so sad to see the Canadians being left this way by Trump... it's just a dumb situation, it's a selfish move made by him, and that sure affects Canada a lot, and that's why my family and I stopped buying American products. Stay safe and strong, canucks.\n❤

I, an American, stands with Canada. The blame is on Trump. We all know that

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico and the Ukraine. FDTRUMP and F MAGA.

As a American I can’t be move proud and happier with my vote!! American is so back let’s go trump!!! Canada don’t want this smoke we’ll come take your land off you

I wish i could move to Canada??? sorry neighnors..i am American and I am in shock..also sad.

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

We Stand With Canada. Shame on our idiot of a president. Selling us out for RUSSIA ??‍♂️ stay safe my fellow Americans

I can’t in good faith say I side with Canada as a lifelong red blooded American. HOWEVER, I will say I envy Canadians having such a logical clearly spoken leader.

American here, I’m with you Canada! I’m sorry this is happening. I wish this would all just get better.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

This American (hopefully not soon Russian) says Kudos to Canada! Do what you have to. ?? Hopefully we can regain control at the midterms.

My advise to Canadians is that they should as quickly as possible unite with other nations in protection of beautiful Canada . At least most Americans have lost the seriousness and the truth for a unknown duration .

Just to be clear…. Most Americans DO NOT WANT THIS! We love you Canada, we do NOT trust Trump! we are embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated. We are so sorry!

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

This man is a lier and has taken the guns away from Canadians. The USA does not need Canada. I say we pull our military out of Canada and build a northern border to further protect America. Canada is nothing more than a branch of Britain.\n\nIf you news reporters don't like the American first idea then move to Canada.

The Canadians love the\n? beers of USA. They love President Trump.❤️AND IF CANADA BECOMES THE 51ST STATE OF USA, THE CANADIANS AND AMERICANS WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL Economic RECIPROCITY OF BUYING AMERICAN GOODS and Canadian products without worrying tariffs for Canadian goods.??

American here standing with Canada and Ukraine and Mexico. Three of my favorite countries in the whole WORLD!

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

Good for Canada. Don't back down from these weak wanna be dictators. Europe follow their example, Americans can't even help ourselves right now.

Canada will fold with in a month or two. Canada is sucking american from trade deals of decades. Canada is a triad on dairies they can sell their milk,butter,etc in the United state but we cant sell our dairy with out tariff implemented by the canada government. Look it up.

I am unfortunately American and I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine!! I voted for her!

Canada, pls offer USA to join you as your 11th province, Donald Trump could hold an honorary position as Governor of American Province. No tariffs for either side.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

As an American I feel shame and embarrassment. Where I'm from, you love, respect, and honor your neighbors. You treat them as you want to be treated. Canada is our ally. Mexico is our ally.

Many Americans don't want this trade war and this bad relationships with Canada and many other allies. Our government is hijacked by a coup led by Trump and Musk!

That is how a leader of a country speaks to his people. Calm, articulate, no name calling or yelling and no lies. I am an American but I support Canada in this.

There ARE winners in a trade war. Many Americans want literally nothing to do with Canada after the booing of our national anthem. Not our President, but our anthem. Some will never forgive. We will endure without Canada, say hi to Xi for us.
