Mr. Prime minister your speech is a masterclass on how to unite canadians from a american who loves canada

So much love and support for Canada from many of us Americans! We hope one day our friendship with you can recover from this nightmare. ?????

I hear you sir\nI hold to decency and love\nHopefully this darkness will destroy itself soon\n?\nMaybe I’ll visit Canada if you still allow Americans\nWeee just people\nNot evil government

Now THAT is a real leader. I say this as an American: F Trusk! We love you, Canada. ??

I love Americans, you're always welcome here. Trump has the right to do what's best for America, but Canada needs to start building a strong partnership with more stable and predictable countries like China and certain EU nations. No more blindly following the US in their foreign policy endeavors and wars for Israel.

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

We are so sorry! So many of us Americans do not stand with DT. It hurts me so when I hear those words, “America has done” this or that. It’s not us, it’s HIM and his sugar daddy EM. I did not vote for him. He is a shameless liar and more, and I cannot believe this is our reality. Disgusting! \nSending love to Canada ☹️

I support Canada even if I am an American! I would love to get a list of Canadian products that I can purchase!

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

I am a proud to be a Canadian! I have not bought anything American since this crap has started. Justin Trudeau, you have really stepped up to the plate! Well done! You have proved you do love Canada, unconditionally! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??????????????

Great response Canada. Much love from the Netherlands & Europe. Lets boycot American together and forever.

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

Looks like Americans are idiots! Wait, I'm an American.....but I didn't vote for him! We are not all blind and stupid. We love you Canada and Ukraine ❤ I'm ashamed of what tRUMP is doing. ?

Putin is an evil leader and so is Kim Jong Un. Building alliances with those evil leaders puts us at risk with God. God is One of order and love. Those leaders stand for hate, murder, lies, and dictatorship. I am American and I am concerned for the welfare of our country. I stand with Ukraine and Canada. Evil will never win…ever. Have no fear with God. Believe that He will protect us.

I am ashamed to be an American now. I was from 2016-2020 as well. The insanity of XX45 is 100x worse now, along with the unhinged Elon musk. We are in dire straits. Real Americans LOVE YOU Canada! ???

American here (as embarrassing as it is to admit), I stand with Canada 100%!!! I did not vote for this disgrace of a human! Blessings and Love to all Canadians. ???

Canadian here . Not interested in buying anything american nor visiting states ever again .Been to usa multiple times and will not go back , at least until there is some leadership that I can respect. I have love for Americans, but never to the detriment of Canada.

Much love to you Mr. Trudeau and to the people of Canada who I have always found to be most kind and generous. This American is with you all the way!!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.??

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.

Great speak Trudeau and I as an American support Canada not the Putin loving, disgraceful Trump.

God Bless you Canada the American people love you trump is a thug and a Russian asset.

Love coming here and setting y'all straight because as you can see y'all failed when you got the chance to prove Trump was the problem. Canada? Weak country, leader acts as if he can play hardball,watch markets right now, they wouldn't be so jittery if Trump ain't backing it up. 50% of Americans right now are soft as Charmin,we can't get rid of you but God I wish we could,y'all lost on why Trump is doing all he is doing....I mean to even have to explain to y'all, nahh man. Y'all got to go.

Good for you Trudeau !!!! I am an American and I totally understand where you are coming from and you are exactly right! I love Canada and the Canadian people. Saying it and showing it are 2 different things. Shame on the ones who don't show it. God bless you and Canada, Trudeau ???

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

I am an American beyond appalled and disgusted by my country’s leadership, or rather, lack of leadership. Nothing but respect and admiration for you Canada. Thank you for understanding that most Americans don’t support any of this whatsoever. We love you. Slava Ukraini

I am American, and I love it. Give it to us good, so people will get it. Go Canada!

As an American on very shameful for our president we love you Canada we love you Ukraine

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

Canadian here. I love my American friends. And I love Canada. I will be only buying and supporting Canadian. I wish you all well\n\n?? \n\nGood luck out there pals

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

You go Canado...we u.s. citizen hate the pussy grabber more than you do...Americans will fight the pussygrabber with everything we have...We love you Canada...do what you have to do...the pussygravver will not win!!!!!

You really really have no idea what your doing when you've pissed off Canada , for the love of God if there is any real Americans left stand up and say no to this reality show that exsits in the mad man's head.\nHundreds of years to become a great country ....one man and his dog is breaking it apart in a matter of weeks. Running a country is not the same as a business , it will be the greatest error ever in mankind.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

I apologize as an American,I didn't vote for that lunatic...we LOVE Canada.\n#imprisontrump.

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

President Trudeau, the AMERICAN PEOPLE is not for this. President Trudeau is what a REAL PRESIDENT IS ABOUT. I love CANADA ??

My heart breaks as an American who loves her country. I can't stand Trump or President Musk ?\nDo what you have to is how I feel. I stand with Canada ?? & Ukraine ??

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

We are Americans. We love Canada ?? and Justin Trudeau. We are sorry this ?maniac is ruining our country. We do NOT want him!!! We are very sorry he is doing this to both our countries. Please don’t hate those of us who did NOT vote for this felon.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

PLEASE KNOW THAT MOST AMERICANS LOVE AND SUPPORT CANADA, BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY PRISONERS OF A FASCIST REGIME THAT WAS 'ELECTED' BY AN IGNORANT POPULACE. GOD BLESS AND GOD HELP AMERICA!

I am American and so many of us love Canada and Trudeau! Unfortunately people are realizing they made a big mistake voting for Trump! This nation is in so much trouble and for the first time in my life I am afraid of what’s ahead for us.

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

Donald is not a smart guy, (you’re being diplomatic, )he’s dumb and dumber for doing this and it will show very soon the consequences of his actions. Trouble is, he doesn’t do anything if he’s wrong he just doubles down, he doesn’t take any responsibility even if he’s the one that causes it. Good on you, Mr. Trudeau, Americans, love Canada and Canadians, but Donald is not who the United States is about. He’s a traitor and of course a felon, Conman, hrapist. He is the one that we shouldn’t let in our country, especially to the presidency of the United States.
