Americans love Canadians!!! Well spoken Mr President and with class!!!!

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

This is what a real leader looks like. From and American who is sad our elected (and not elected...) officials slip further into fascism. Love my Canadian brothers and sisters.

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.

Trump will be gone - perhaps in 2 years he will lose the house/senate...and then what America? You've lost a loyal friend. It will take YEARS to rebuild our trust. Who will come to your aid the next 911? And it WILL happen; u are despised worldwide. It's a sad day. But as a Canadian, I love my country and will boycott EVERYTHING American to the best of my ability. Enjoy the hell to come America.

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.

Sorry but 50 percent of Americans are stupid. I used to love your country. No longer

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

Trump is going to have all y'all crying. I love that Americans are being put first finally.. no more of our tax money should go to any of these dictators!!

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.

Canadians love americans... except for cheeto, blockhead, and their followers.

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

Trump are punishing the people,,no problem Americans loved him,,they cheered them???

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

Not all Americans align with Trump,We love our Canadian neighbors and a majority of us in the northern region of NY are of Canadian heritage and stand with all free countries ❤

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.

We are brothers American and Canadians are on the same land same boat one side goes we both sink im Canadian and I stand with American much love let’s stay family and be peaceful and end this madness

Great Job by Justin T., KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB, AMERICANS-LOVE CANADIANS! It’s just Trump the fat ass that’s causing problems!

I'm an American & his speech almost made me cry. He's such a great leader & Canadians are our great role models. I love you guys & I will protest my government.

I love that you are explaining this to Americans being some are literally brainwashed but most are not

Most normal Americans don't want it either but the Trump cult members believe every crazy word that man says. Not all Republicans are in love with his cult but I don't think they know what to do to control him..

Love that simple statement;” make that make sense”. As an American that is what I have been trying to do since his first presidency. I am truly sorry to all Canadians for this buffoon and his ignorance. I have no reasoning for those that had voted him in to office A SECOND TIME!!!!

As an American, I am embarrassed. I have loved travelling to Toronto, and working directly with my Canadian colleagues. These tariffs are plain dumb, and can only be explained by Putin's influence on the FOTUS in America.

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.

In America, no politician is allowed to have a vision that will benefit the people and the nation. The essence of America is to be consumed by corporate America until money chooses to leave the country when America runs out of incentives to keep it on its soil. As long as the purpose of America is to keep the dollar as a world currency and make it easy for business to operate on its soil, America politicians cannot make an acceptable proposition to the Americans left behind. America is a money making machine for corporate America and an indebtedness machine for the nation and its citizens. This love affair with money will sooner or later break the country. It is taboo to speak about the source of America's problems.

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.

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

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. ❤️

Dear Canadians, Americans love you! Our heart is breaking. Why can’t we have a president with manners and dignity?\n\nAs a Daughter of the American Revolution and a veteran I want to apologize for my country. \n\nI’m not sure how everyone can be so fooled by this man who I knew was a lecherous thug the first time I saw him back in the 90s. When he was dying to sit at Elaine’s table, but she wouldn’t have him. Everyone knows he’s scum.

Hopefully AMERICANS can open their ears wide and understand what is going on because it gets worse and worse\n\nSending love to all Canadians ?? ❤ ??

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.
