As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

I can't stand Trump. He is hurting us all. As an American, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry to Canada and Mexico. This is not my doing. But I stand behind YOU and Not the orange man-baby!

Justin, I'm sorry! Canada I'm sorry! Please put the screws to America. We are willing to suffer because this is wrong! Fentynal invasion is a lie. Why cut all public funding to help addiction if we truly have a problem? ???

Dear Canada, I am so sorry my country is doing this. It is reprehensible and I did not vote for it. I apologize for the half of my country that is blind and uneducated. Do what you have to do, I support it.

Canada has two modes.\nWe're sorry and You're gonna be sorry.

I am a American but I do not support Trump in anyway.. He is a idiot and should be thrown out off office immediately... I am sorry to Ukraine and all countries being affected by this pathetic idiot. My heart goes out to you all and I encourage you to hit back hard.

You have the right to do this Prime Minister. We will suffer because of TRUMP and not because of you. I am so sorry my bullshit country has done this. You move is NEEDED.

Bloody good damned speech, Trudeau. Thank you. Sorry to lose Jack. But. Oh well. Rather be on side side of this rubbish. Canada, your the damned best. Thank you for helping us out.

So it will only hurt Americans family but not Canadian?? We can make those factory to produce from USA side. Sorry, I didn’t vote for trump.

Can we move to Canada? I love Canada so sorry for this horrible buffoon in charge.

I am so sorry. ????????

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

HI FROM CANADA. WE ARE NOW AT WAR WITH THE USA... SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY UNTIL YOU JAIL THE NAZI RUNNING YOUR GOVERNMENT... BUT IT'S TOO LATE. YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO ACT. YOU ARE NOW A NAZI STATE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELECTIONS. AND YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. NOPE... AMERICANS GET OUT OF CANADA, STAY OUT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. LGBTQ REFUGEES FROM THE NAZI REGIME WILL BE TAKEN IN.

Lmao sorry blackface. Canada is such liars. Good luck

As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

I’m sorry President Trudeau!

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

Canada: please understand some of us are so sorry.

We dont want it either...my retirment just list 1k in one day...did this last time this traitor was in office...? sorry Canada❤

Wolf cut her off but she was saying that America's oil is refined in Canada. Our refineries can't convert our crude oil into gas for our cars. So gas prices will go up. Sorry Canada!

I don't make the policies here. None of us do. I'm sorry.

Sorry Canada ??. We respect you Canada gogo

We have half of the American people to thank for this, as they voted for this bafoon back into the White House!!! I’m sorry Canada that you’re having to deal with this…a lot of us Americans don’t deserve this either, but apparently this is what the majority of Americans want. I’ve never been so ashamed of my own country before. Today, this year, this era is a sad time for American’s history.

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

Give no sympathy to those who voted for a rapist, pedifile, convicted FELON. I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM, I tried to tell them that did, they refused to listen, now they have to get him out. SORRY YOU ARE TALKING TO A CONVICTED FELON WHO DOES NOT CARE!!!

I'm sorry our country was taken by a coup.

I don't think anybody over here is going to complain about you taking Up. for yourself. It's just ridiculous and embarrassing. Sorry.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.

Wake up America. Are you still playing attention!? I'm sorry this isn't a 15 second polarizing sound byte. WE ARE LOSING OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS JUST SO WE CAN SNUGGLE UP TO RUSSIA. COME ON.

This is heartbreaking and humiliating. Most of us are so sorry, Canada.

Canadá still ❤️ American people!! and we are very sorry that you guys have a president who is bullying.. all the citizens around your country ? as Elon son told Trump he needs to go away and also Elon they are destroying USA specially median class… In my point of view the citizen puts the president and also they can take away since he is abusing of power !!

I am so very sorry that my country, America. I am so ashamed of our country's leadership.\nThere is NO way your people or ours should have to be going through this.\nOur government is filled with oligarchs that think they can get away with these disgraceful, disgusting actions.\nI am so very sorry. ?\nSincerely, an American who believes in working together.

American from California who did NOT vote for this. Many of us stand with Canada and Mexico. We apologize that we have so many idiots and this disgusting criminal was voted in. Hopefully, he disappears soon, but if it's in 4 years... Hopefully, we can rebuild alliances and friendships. We're sorry. The USA is shit right now.

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

Sorry Justin, Donald is not a smart man. But dumb yes

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

Sorry to our neighbors. Feels shameful to be a US citizen at the moment. Hopefully, this too shall pass.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

Well unfortunately it's no longer the United States of America it's now Trumpland. From an American im personally sorry for what Trump is doing. ?

I'm sorry to go off topic but I would like to point out how absolutely stunning I think Minister Joly is. pure natural beauty

Dear Canada, I wish we had an empowered voice in America. I’m sorry for what has happened to the trust and friendship between our nations.

We're so sorry guys. It's not our government, it's a coup. This is not America. We aren't like Trump & the people he represents. We are 110% behind Canada! We know Trump is lying. Do not give in to this regime. ❤??

As an American I am sorry Canada, can I still come over? ?

This is def not MAGA. Sorry Canada. Please invade us and save us.

So sorry ?, you'll be making more money. Keep your goods. We'll keep ours. Maybe you can see your way clear to get along. Bullshit your own citizens. Good luck, let's get it on. Thank you ?

I’m an American woman standing with Canadian people. I am so sorry this is happening ? why would Americans vote for him?
