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!

Will American Congressmen and citizens stand by for long, and watch Trump destroy everything ?

PM Trudeau, I’m an American and I don’t want this either. I’m not speaking for every American, but I know this “Trade War” is unnecessary and negligent. Thanks to our incompetent president.

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American I am going to Carson City, Nevada today to protest and I WILL protest until this comes to an end one way or the other. I also will NOT be buying anything unless it is a necessity. This is what I will be doing to help. Please press like if you will be joining me. ??????

the first consequence of this tariff war is that both Americans and Canadian citizen will pay more for their products. This will raise inflation in both sides.

These are Trump, Musk and Republican tariffs. Many Americans stand against this administration and appreciate any help you can give us to stop his madness!

Imagine how bad things must be that Trump made me side with Trudeau. I really hope you americans understand the damage your „president“ is causing and will cause to the world. That goes for your lapdog vicepresident too.

Americans need to stand up to this insanity.

People in America, the free Americans, are weeping as we hear the brave words of other leaders and they yern for that leadership to save them from tyranny at home.

Americans you are the only ones who can stop this mad dog. its up to you folks.

The European Union is behind Canada, we will trade freely with you and welcome you. American alcohol is no lo ger wanted in Europe.

As an American I stand with Canada.\nMost Americans do not support this.?????

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.

I am an american and I stand with canada

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

I'm an American citizen, but I definitely agree with Canada I'm more on peace, i stand for Canada. I fight for my fellow Americans who will suffer for this. I'm American, but I did not vote for him.

Mr Justin Trudeau, Canada has always took advantage of Americans taxpayers. Not anymore

As a Frenchwoman with friendly ties to the United States and Canada, I am horrified by what the Americans are doing to the Ukrainians. And I think this trade war is a splendid gift for the Chinese. What's happening to the leader of the free world ?

It is said that if America imposes a tarrif on Canada, then Americans will pay more for Canadian goods. Possibly electricity too. Now, if Canada mirrors the actions of the US, then Canadians will have to pay more for American goods. So we are all just hurting ourselves in a way. Don't you love modern leadership? I suppose it's better than dropping bombs. But it's vile.

As an American, i stand with Canada. Hoping for the very best for us all.

If only the American Congress and sensible Republicans had the backbone to stand up and say what Prime Minister Trudeau has just said. It’s time for serious politicians, the judiciary, and the Republican Party to put a stop to the dismantling of the Republic and the oldest democracy in the world.

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

That lady simply lied and tried to twist reality. Trudeau didnt say anything Anti-American. She means anti-white supremacist....trudeau is saying America is not going to use them but mistreating at the same time. Canada is right. Protect yourselves. People in America will see that supporting Trump is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. its just a matter of time.

The American people that have any brains whatsoever don't want this. It's all Donnie and his ass kissers doing what they want for him and his billionaire friends.

We the American People STAND PROUDLY WITH \nCANADA ! F Trump ! \n????☮️

It's going to be tougher on Americans. Trump and Elon have destroyed all the government agencies that could help citizens in need. American citizens are on their own.

Unfortunately American people don’t understand that, because most of them are uneducated and don’t understand how wars are stopped and how allies are treated…

Canada. albeit in a century long war with Denmark, Is the closest you can get to an american sensible ally.

Trump, we Canadians despise what you are doing to us and Mexico, and to your very own people. And for what purpose? You will not aquire control of the entire American continent. Not if we can help it!!

Thank you Canada for putting that orange monster in his place , and by the way I'm an American !

Stand with Canada against American Zionist aggression

So much for saving the economy and lowering grocery prices on day 1. I’m so exhausted when it comes to the USA and half of its citizens. Inflation up everything up lol I’m never going there again or buying anything American if I can help it. Enjoy your Russification dimwits.

Most Americans are ignorant to the Elitist policies plaguing their nation - shall we see what happens if the new world order doesn’t favour us no more?

So sad what's happening in this country right now. I'm an American and did not vote for trump and I'm with Ukraine and Canada.

Trump is screwing Americans 3-4x over.

As an American we understand why you are doing this. We strand with our allies even when our government doesn't.

As Usual, American GREED prevails over reason and common sense. Go kiss Putin's feet America !!

As an American, I support Canada.

Not Americans just f****** Trump

Mr Trudeau must understand, the majority of Americans voted to financially destroy Canada and then seizevit by military force for two simple reasons, 1) Natural Resources and 2) so United Healthcare can privatize healthcare and exorbitantly charge every single former Canadian outrageous health insurance fees, then deny services.

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

Canada: There are plenty of Americans 100% with you and the rest of our allies. These are not my presidents (we apparently have two) and my sincere hope is that they will not only be removed from office very soon, but thereafter tried, prosecuted, and imprisoned for high treason against the United States and for defrauding its people. Those of us not fully brainwashed by the right-wing propaganda apparatus are seething with rage and focused on fast and appropriate justice, however it must be achieved. This criminal behavior masquerading as politics will be punished to the maximum extent of the very laws that are being scoffed at by Trump, Vance, Musk, and the rest of the mafioso GOP. History will correct those that choose to remain in tow to lawlessness and treason, and oligarchic fascism will not hold sway in our nation. Let this moment be a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy is and how vigilant we all must be to preserve it.

As an CNN watching American Trump stands for America!! Lol

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

CNN is Anti-American. Phukit CNN??

As an American I sit with Canada

Im american from orlando fl ,Congratulations mr trump, you're gonna make america poor gain.

What a horrendous commentator. Anti-American???

Trump doesn’t care about anyone and anything, not even us Americans. \nHe only care about his pockets and Putin, another idiot
