As an American, f$^k us up, Justin....we deserve it

Canada charges americans 20%-25% foreign property tax fee when americans try to buy property in canada. This has been around for years. American government doesn't tax canadians or any other foreigners an extra tax when purchasing property in the US.

US GDP is around 30 trillion. This 180 billion is literally nothing.. also, it’s on the CANADIAN payer. Lmao it doesn’t even touch American consumers. It’s like saying “you stepped on my toe, watch me step on my other toe to spite you.”

I love Canada and the US. MAGA is un-American. Trump is delusional as are his supporters.

So if the US tarrifs hurt Americans I can only assume Canadian tarrifs will hurt Canadians.

It is too bad. But war is declared against à thug à convicted felon and rapist. See the elegance of Trudeau amidst these hardtimes. We just won't be treated like a rug you walk on. Too bad for the American People. We will never ever do business with you whatever the government may be. It is over with US once and for all.

I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. Its heart breaking that we allowed this to happen even with all the warning signs. I have protested, attended town halls, emsiled all my state representatives and every attempt can only have power if the people we elected go to bat for us. They are not doing so. Americans who know this is absolutely unacceptable will scream as loud as we can to stop this dictator but we need to help of the higher ups. Please...for the love of God, get this man out of the seat of power until it is too late. Maybe it already is.

U.S. American here. GO CANADA! The sane ones of us down here are with you!

Can you offer some of us Americans asylum from an orange dictator?

Trump is a treat from world stability. American people, especially Democrats should demonstrate ad do pressure. It is awful and disgusting to see the US getting along with Russia and despite its historic European allies and nice Canadian neighbors.

Most Americans don't like Trump or what he's doing. Please save us and cut off power to the red states

Canada, this is not us. I am so glad you distinguish the American people from this president.

Iam so sorry about this Canadians. This is just bully shit. Americans love you guys .we stand with you all. We know are lives will get worse before it gets better for us not because of Canada.its because the orange man.?

American goods account for 25% of Canada economy while theirs is only 5% for us Americans. We’ll be fine, AMERICA first no more handouts time to pay up.

So this will only hurt the Americans ?!? Thanks for feeling sorry for us. It shouldn’t affect you then. Good for you. I never realized we relied on Canada for everything to survive. This is crazy.? ?

The whole world now despises the US. They merit this hatred, and individual Americans must accept responsibility for voting for a racist rapist -- WTF?! How?! Why?!

This is happening. Today while grocery shopping I put at least ten dollars worth of American products back on the shelf after reading the fine print of origin. One million Canadians doing this just once today....that's a ten million dollar expression of how fed up with your self mindedness, self agrandising and beligerance towards us. Thirty millions of Canadians doing this for a full month is a hit in the billions. WE ARE DONE WITH YOU!

This American trade war against Canada has NOTHING to do with Fentanyl - That is à puerile pretext. The American motive is far more sinister: crush Canada and once they’re desperate, extract concessions, up to an including annexation. The US is now a 19th century Imperialist Oligarchy , modelled on Putin’s Russia.

As an American I say bring it on and help us stop trump’s misguided dictatorship.

An increase in Anti-Americanism?!\nYou started a trade war against us!\nOur opinions about America, & particularly your Demented God Emperor Drumpf, are fully justified.

As a German this is so hard to watch… the US is becoming a country of fascists. They hid their real intentions behind their fake faith in christ! They themselves put out fake news and propaganda out. Pls dear americans stand up for your rights and don’t let the lobbyists and the richest of the rich drive over you!!

I applaud you PM , Canada is so lucky to have you as their PM. And us here in America, are suffering with this trying hard to be smart guy, but really dumb and stupid and un-American.

Too bad American politicians don’t have the guts to address rump directly - the US is hurting because of rumpy

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

I so wish that the great leaders of other countries would just say Donald Trump in stead of saying the United States of America. Because we, the average American citizen find Trump’s illogical decisions ruinous for all of us

American supporting Canada and the rest of the world. Unite against the US.

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

Responsible peaceful Americans don't want this either, Trump is an enemy to all of us

Believe me, the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration and Trump’s garbage. He is absolutely the worst and dumbest person ever sit in the Oval Office. So we have to suffer this man’s postering and aligning with Putin because some idiotic people believe him. So please punish us, we deserve it.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

American here instead of telling us what we're going to lose let's hear what you have to gain

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

The thing is Americans DO want this. 70 million people did at least. We deserve what's coming to us.

talking to the american people nor trump is futile. stop being dramatic and copying netanyahu's speach directed to palestinian people. just slam your own tsriffs against the US and let their people feel it! you are such a wimp in dealing with your bully that's why you dontget the respect globally! just do it! and do it fast! jeeez

US doesn’t hit Canada with 25% tariffs. US hit US-importers with 25% tariffs that they will put on their American prices

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

Canada is always causing problems for us Americans Canada is a serious national security threat to this country instead of 25 percent tariffs Trump should place 900 percent tariffs against Canada instead.

Dear Canada. Please build a Wall. The US should be treated like the 3rd World Country leadership is acting like. Sincerely a True Patriotic American.

Why Canada is worried for US market down and Americans loosing jobs?

I am sickened by the actions of my fellow Americans. This is what the half of America that voted for this deserves but the rest of us will also suffer for their willful ignorance. Good on Canada, Mexico, China, and every other country that values their people over the pockets of billionaires. Nasty, nasty work by the US.

So agree with Canadian prime minister. Trim does everything to make life of Americans harder. The US is loosing all of it allies

President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

I cant ? say American government going to be there for us. During these hard times.

I’m American, I wish I was a Canadian right now. Trudeau is a dignified leader and Canadians are lucky to have a leader like him… Us Americans are the losers here?

I stand With Canada ??, EU ,UK , UKRAINE ???..this mad man Should be removed NOW 25Th Amendment Now he must Be stopped at All Cost hes tanking our economy and taking jobs from Americans but Gave all Of us ?..Not smart ?.. Respectfully...Start a garden and protest every chance you can..Call write ...senetors...They need your votes ..?????✊??????

Trump is a traitor to us Americans. The golden age is Trump final days.

Trump is no Republican! What a disaster for us Americans!

Where has this Justin Trudeau been? He was tough, direct, and passionate. As an American, many of us are with Canada.
