Living in Michigan , Canadian are our close neighbors and friends. This is a sad day that will hurt both Americans and Canadians. You fought beside us in every world war. Canadians supported us and died for us during the Iraq War. Recently, bringing in planes to help put out the wild fires in California. We love our Canadian neighbors ❤‍?❤

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

As an American I support you Canada, Captain Chaos is a Putin loving narcissist that probably cheated to win election, and did not win popular vote, only electral vote at best. Only 1/2 Americans voted and less than 1/2 of them voted for the felon. He is working on changing America to a dictator led government. I pray Americans will be able to unite and stop this stupidity!

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

Never been more proud to be Canadian. And thank you to all Americans supporting us. ❤

As an American, I want our Canadian neighbors to know that MANY Americans agree with and support Canada ?. Our President is an embarrassment to the whole world.

american here. ashamed and embarrassed by this country. i support canada

Please remember not all of us Americans voted for this administration, and we don't support it at all. What they are doing in the White House is totally wrong, and needs to be impeached. Because we don't want them.

Trudeau about to catch some bombs with talk like that. The American People support Trump and the tariffs. Canada knows they can't fight us. Trudeau should bend the knee now to avoid the destruction later.

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

Trump-et administration supporting, autocracy, plutocracy, oligarchy do you think he cares about the poor/ the life of Americans?(in your dreams) its all about money He cares more about money,money ,money He is more of a businessman capitalist/ neocolonialism rather than a diplomat, a politician/stateman.\nPoorer getting poorer \nRicher getting richer

I’m not even American, but any American that doesn’t support Trump, is simply a brainwashed waste of space. Makes me sick.

As an American I support Canada, even though we will suffer, I can’t support what the Mad KIng is doing.

Justin Trudeau is ten times the leader that idiot tRump could ever hope to be.\nI can't believe there are still some Americans that support tRump. America has gone to hell.

The US/Canada rivalry is supposed to be ON THE ICE! I Do Not Support Trump's Rhetoric - This American (In Michigan) Stands on Guard For ?? !

When is Trump going to say that he'll support Americans during the trade war he started?? No, he says he's going to bring us pain so that billionaires can get $4.5 T in tax breaks. Why MAGAs? What could possibly justify voting for that guy?

Sane Americans appreciate our northern neighbor and support whatever tactics, and strategies, you must employ to deal with the ass hat that is our President. I’m quite envious of the articulate, honest, strong leadership of Mr. Trudeau. It’s the antithesis of the current President of the U.S. I prefer to not say his name out loud so as to not throw up.

The Orange lunatic is the master of falsehood! He will made up all kinds of allegation on those he is taking revenge on those who laugh at him for his stupidity during his first term! He doesn't care if any of his action will hurt Americans, they are the last thing in his mind (except those oligarchs who are supporting him)! The next most troubling reason for his action is because he wants to weaken the free world alliance to benefit Putin! This trouble that he is creating will disrupt the economy round the world distracting the focus in the Ukraine war! And weaken the financial support that Ukraine's friends are consolidating to overcome the shortfall from US withdrawing aids to Ukraine! Lastly, that Orange lunatic is preparing a path to turn US into an autocratic, dictatorship system and align with Putin, so that he can corruptly benefit himself without opposition (he can suppress any opposition like Putin)!

Well spoken and perfectly done. This American supports Canada.

American who supports Canada. Wish I could live in your country. I am ashamed of my country.

This Old-Senile-Demented-47-criminal wants to start World War 3. Oh yes 47 is a jerk idiot, that’s why I’m supporting Canada. ???.Trudea wants to save life,but this American Con-artist wants to destroy life to keep his money ( read what the holy scripture said about the love of money ) money and power. I hope you Americans are happy. If you want soldiers to go and kill other mother’s children for this despicable criminal, not my friends, families or fellow Christian. If y’all want slaves , you voted for this criminal, so you go slave for him (47). I’m already mourning for those innocent who will get killed. Read : 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 26:14,15. Like I said, you Trash-republicans and maga morons created this con artist, you take care of this mess. As for me I support Canada and all those other countries that this American Con Artist tried to Bully At?????

I’m an American Vet and I support my PRESIDENT. MAGA ?? MAGA ??

As an American it’s great to stand with Canada and we should support them, but we need to stand up for ourselves here in the US, we can’t let this happen to our country… what have we become?

I have never heard a Canadian sound so fierce and it makes me wish I were a Canadian today. Canada, there are many many Americans that are so ashamed today be part of this country today and please know that we fully support you putting our country in its place. We hope that you know we have your back and that we hope that you will forgive us when we have shown we actually deserve it

As an American I don't support this at all we can't afford things as it is this only hurts everyone more

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

Trump is a joke get him and his golf club out of Ireland . Trump supporters are completely delusional . So sorry for the americans with half a brain ..........Trump is as mad as putin wake up maga idiots ........

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

An American here, I support Canada. the World must stand up to the Tyrannical American government. Thank You!

Americans. lend me your brains. you are being screwed by a moron crook and his gang of GOP supporters. you lose.

AMERICAN citizens here: WE do NOT support TRUMPS RAPE of our nation.... Dear Canada the majority of Americans are SO ashamed and embarrassed of this whole mess...?

Thank you Prime Minister. We Americans support you. The Neo-Fascist party formerly known as the Republican Party in America led by Trump/Musk does NOT HAVE OUR SUPPORT. WE STAND WITH CANADA, MEXICO, EUROPE AND ESPECIALLY UKRAINE. ?? ????

This American is thankful you are acting against these disastrous tariffs. I love my country, but do not support Trump's actions??❤???

It’s true, many Americans do not support these tariffs let alone fraternizing with other dictators! Team Canada ??

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

American here, I support you, Canada. I didn't vote for Trump. He is embarrassing our country. I am so sorry he's treating you badly. If your country wasn't so cold, I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat! You deserve to be treated better.

As eloquent and dignified Mr. Trudeau is here, and how rational his response is, it's wasted breath. You can't reason with an entitled child. We tried to reason with the children that were voting for him and it fell on deaf ears. He's no different. They know it all, all while knowing absolutely nothing. There's no changing their minds. I hope with all of my being that this hits those who support him the hardest and brings them significant financial pain. Elections have consequences and their vote needs consequences too. \n\nIn my 56 years, I've never been embarrassed to be an American. Thanks Donald, I now am. You did that.

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

I am an American and I support Canada!!! ❤??

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

I am Ukrainian from Kyiv. Standing with Canada and American people who don't support Trump's policies. Thank you a loooot for supporting us! Its mean a lot for us! Unfortunatly looks like Trump find a new friend - putin(( ?

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

It’s just Donald and his MAGA idiots not most Americans. Good Americans support all our historical allies and do not wish this upon our friends and ourselves.

Trade wars in 2025. The American president supporting a known dictator who kills his challengers. Couldn’t tell me this would be the future, ever.

who care about Canadian , American is strong and support Donald Trump.

As American-Ukrainian I support Canada. So ashamed of our president ?\n\nThank you, everyone, for supporting Ukraine. ????????

As an american (lower case on purpose), I TOTALLY SUPPORT CANADA!

As an American and as a Republican I fully support Canada and Ukraine in this matter.
