So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

I'm SO VERY SORRY all this is happening! Canada, we send you our love! Right now, our government absolutely sucks! Many of us DO NOT like or support what's going on!

It's simple replace 1.5 million jobs we stand to loose with factories here in Canada with products we would have bought from the state's. There r the jobs back. Then make deals with other countries and in 4 years when Trump is done and the state's want to work with us with tariffs again say sorry we have other partners don't have the extra supplies. And continue making Canada great again

I want too take this time too say i am proud of you for saying you are a strong leader that obviously americans are sickened by the damage that trump has done too us Every True American who believes in our democracy we are suffering from just over 1 month and i am so sorry for how he treated Canada but understand this is NOT most Americans feelings were very upset and i pray that all of you in Canada realize our country has a been taken over and corrupted by trump and Elon Must

I'm very frustrated with Donald Trump, we voted for trump was a Big mistake....so sorry.\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine.\nGod bless Canada.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Sorry Canada we got stuck with the worst president of all time, Canada our ally, partner and great neighbor hast to deal with him. Hope this next 4 years will pass quick and our relationship go back as normal and friendly as before.

American here that doesn't like this. I'M SORRY Canada. \n? \n?❤\nI would rather be Canadian. Any room up north for a cannabis honor student ? and artist???

Canada, we love you and I am truly sorry for our garbage administration.

There’s a majority of Americans who are right there with you Canada. Sorry our president has single-handedly undermined the war in Ukraine, created civil insurgency, tarnished relationships with its closest allies, and created divide that can be heard around the world.

As Puertorrican I stand with Canada. Pray for us. Trump will destroy this country. We are embarrassed and profoundly sorry for what Trump has done. I congratulate your PM. He is class.

As an American, I'm so sorry, Canada. I can't say I don't know anyone who wanted this. But I am not one of them, and never have been. This is insane.

Am embarrassed as an American , Sorry Canada I never Voted for that Orange fool. Americans are so divided at these times due to a dictator president which should be illegal

I am sorry Canada , Mexico, Ukraine and China that this orange demon decided to do this ridiculous sh....

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

So sorry, Canada ?? ? ? ?

I grew up in Detroit on the American side of the Detroit River. Have always loved Canada and Canadians...who have always been kind and wonderful neighbors...sorry about this.

The orange pumpkin went insane after he was caught stealing from banks for his bad habits .\nWe are sorry we're not part of Canada and intelligence governing instead of selfish crazy people wanting to side with Putin ...I fear s world war unless he's impeached AGAIN ?

We are always friends with Great Canada. I dont control Trump. And so i wont dont want jail. I say I am so sorry as an American. I won't go into details to why some to why so many Americans think that they can go back in time. Some and many Americans think they are entitled. I cannot say so sorry for something I am not responsible for. I remembered a time when Hitler's friends blamed & they blamed incessantly.

Trump doesn’t have the guts to stand up to our enemies so he picks fights with our friends. I’m so sorry Canada! ?? Hopefully we can get past this dark period.

You have my vote. I am sorry this country has become so selfish. We all know why.. Go Canada Go..

At least half of our country doesn’t want this either. We feel helpless (those who oppose Trump) but we will keep speaking out. We value you Canada, and our other long term allies. I am sorry Trump and MAGA is such a major cancer that we cannot seem to cut out. Please consider adopting states that want to leave the union. That would piss Trump off the most…losing territory to you.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Canadians are reasonable (00:34) , for sure. And you definitely do not want to get into a fight with a Canadian. Their hospitality and reasonableness is outmatched only by their affinity for fighting (especially after a half a dozen Molsons). I would rather fight a wolverine than a drunk angry Canadian. I'm just busting' chops, Sorry Canada for our (America's) disturbing behavior

Thank you, Canada! Sorry for our childish president.

Respect to Canada. So sorry what our (US) government is doing.

Absolutely disgusting. How as Americans do we begin to apologize for this? I'm so sorry to our allies. I'm so enraged that I'm crying. Canada is our friend and this scumbag and his sycophants have destroyed that friendship. I'm so sorry everyone. This is devastating ?

Trump is trash. Sorry Canada. Most of my fellow Americans are in the find out stage.

I am never a fan of our Prime Minister but today, he got my full respect and admiration. We all know it is not about Fentanyl or illegal immigrants crossing from Canada as little as they were. Donald Trump is just using these as excuse. He is cozying up with US' one of two prime adversaries - Russia and China - and whacking friends and allies, alienating the United States. Donald Trump probably is considering authoritarian rule over democracy. I can't wait for the day that his dumb action will whack him back. Sorry Americans, you are still our friends, but not your government.

We don't need these resources we buy from them. We have a trillion dollar deficit annually with Canada, make THAT make sense. Sorry Trump wants to even that out a little?

Trudeau is the epitome of western society's moral decay, under his leadership Canada has become a radical third world country, from gay marriage to state sponsored marihuana, to state sponsored gambling that floods the country. As a result, Canada today is the bedrock and safe haven for criminals, while ordinary Canadian people's lives continually decline, especially the working class who are struggling yet still cannot make ends meet. A lot of Canadians either have moved to the US, or they would like for Canada to be part of the US so that they have some hope. I am sorry for the Canadian people but have no sympathy for Trudeau.

Sorry Canada, we are only tariffing you cause we need money to give tax breaks to the greedy corporations. We are not satisfied with a corporate tax of 21 percent. We need it to be 15, apparently. This drug BS is just an excuse. Don't worry, I'm glad that millionaire get his tax break while I pay for it.

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

When Americans were held hostage in Iran, it was Canada our great neighbor, who came to our rescue. Always a trusted and valued partner in war and peace. 48.2% of Americans are just holding our breath until the midterm congressional elections. We are sincerely sorry for our current lapse of common sense and Integrity. Please stand by us in our time of need.

Trudeau speaks truth in such an eloquent and coherent manner that what he says is indisputable. Thank you Canada, and sorry for the #$&! Where's our Trudeau?

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

We don’t want this, either. He’s not our president. He stole the election and lied to his minions. We are sorry and we understand. We still love you, Canada. ?? ❤ we will still be here when he is dead and gone. We wish we had a good, polite leader.

It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

Trump is a crazy immoral liar who wants to be a dictator and he’s trying to ruin the country so that he can be. I hope the people who voted for him are happy. It was clear, and he even described what he would do. I am very sorry it is hurting our friends and allies, as well as the U.S. people, especially Canada, Germany, and France..

Thank you for your input. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Do what you have to do I would not think less of you or Canada. From Nashville Tennessee

I'm sorry Canada. Believe me, half our country (including me), are disgusted by these tariffs. We stand with you!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

From the USA: Not everyone here follows a dictator even though he somehow managed to get a second term. Even worse than Trump are the people who still follow him. SORRY Canada...

I am so sorry Canada. I feel so bad. You are a beautiful country and I just hate that this has happened.. You don't deserve this..?

sorry Canada.

Sorry Canada! Half of Americans do not want this!

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau!\nWe Love Canada!\nWe are So Sorry that the criminal in the White House has brought us to this moment with our neighbors!\nMerci Beaucoup Prime Minister! \nOur hearts are broken!\n???

Sorry Canada, sorry world. Sincerely, a sad, embarrassed and worried American.

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.
