I'm so sorry, Canada. I wish I wasn't an American.

I stand with Canada.

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

I'm an American and support the actions Canadians are taking to secure the border between Canada and the United States. I did not vote for Trump this time but to my disappointment he won the election and now we have to deal with him his administration and the issues he is causing. I only pray we will make it through this.

The real victims are the working class people in both Canada and the U.S

Let’s go Canada!

few month ago trudeau one the most hated politician in canada now people forget it how they hated their headsman . And claim him as hero .

Romania and EU supports ?? ? Canada!Time for us to strengthen the relationship , more business than ever. We are a big market, around 480 million.God bless Canada and Canadian people. You have always been a valuable and reliable ally❤!!

Up here in Canada we're counting the days until we can vote this mutt and his party out of office. ?

We will see what Mexico will do on Sunday it seems! Go go go Canada & Mexico, Germany and the EU stands with you!

From the Netherlands: we’ll never forget what Canada has done for us. You liberated us. We stand with you. ??❤️??

Trudeau is liar. Drugs are coming from Canada and Trudeau don't want to stop the Drugs because it will hit his pockets

This man is a bigger threat to Canada than anyone. Also, we don't care about your tariffs. You had a chance to change your unfair tariffs and be more reasonable, and you blew it. That's all you had to do. But instead, you cry and whine.

Thanks for saying what needs to be said and speaking the truth - Go Canada

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

We understand we stand with Canada

Please don't let M Trudeau leave! Ask him to stay on! The world needs him ! He explains the facts so very clearly, outlines the discrepancies so precisely, retains the dignity of Office, & his entreaties to reason, compassion & international cooperation are so welcome! Canada should be proud of Trudeau! Don't let him go! (Australia)

Are you people stupid. Canada will fail in 12 months. Hence the reason he said they can send us into economic ruin.. when the hell is the last time you bought a product from Canada? exactly

We don’t need Canada!

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau! I wish I could respect American leaders as much as I respect you! Stay strong Canada!

I totally agree with Canada. America wake up this is horrible for both countries. We never wanted a Kingship in America. This is a real Leader!

Stick to your commitment, Trump is a chronic liar, he has stabbed the American people in the back. He is obsessed with greed and power, Canada don't trust him. This American loves Canada and it's peoples

The data & facts show Trump doesn’t care is factual. As a Canadian I want Canada to move on away from USA. There’s a big world out there

Hearing trade war with Canada shoukd make every single America realize our country’s president is not fit to lead us yet half the country is so brainwashed they could be convinced their own mothers are evil

I stand with Canada

From Australia all support to Canada and FDT....

Sorry Canada. This isn’t the u s of a. It’s lil u s s r.

I've been saying since Trump said that he's going to put tarrifs on Canada, that's going to hurt the US in the economy and jobs and well here we are..\n\nAnd to think that some people think Trump is doing a great job with all this, is mind boggling.. but I guess they can't see through his lies and stupidity.

I wish my state (Michigan) could secede and join with Canada. I for one would be a lot happier.

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

This is something, a Leader of another country addressing us. It is really that bad!!! We don't blame you Canada, we know... Oh and by the way THANK YOU!!

Canada can dissappear tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost

Trump is pissed that Melania is into Justin Trudeau, that is why Trump is taking it out on Canada ?

Everyone sit back and watch Canada implode !!!!

O Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.\nWith glowing hearts we see thee rise,\nThe True North strong and free!\nFrom far and wide,\nO Canada, we stand on guard for thee.\nGod keep our land glorious and free!\nO Canada, we stand on guard for thee.\nO Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

PLUTO OF CANADA IS WEAK ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARY THEY ARE A JOKE CANADA HATES PLUTO

All you so called americans sidingnwith Canada, where was that passion when Biden keep steeling your wealth and sending it abroad. At least Donald is fighting for America. We will be just fine and anoerfec time to produce ou own goods like we did before Clinton and Obama whonsold us out.

Trump should know that retaliation from Canada and China and Mexico brings down USA to its knees, From now on I don’t buy any American products as a Canadian, Whole Canadian are united behind their government in this matter.

In Canada, there is a lot of divisiveness between our conservative and liberal political parties. But what is incredible is how much support Trudeau holds in this trade war conflict . While his reign is nearly over, nationally all political parties have come together (in majority numbers) for a unified approach. Trump has single-handedly ostracized the United States from the rest of the world.

From France, we choose Canada.?? ? Force a vous les cousins

To USA. \nYou ain't got no friends and all the others hate you.\n\nUS, Build that wall and we ??????will take turns together with Canada?? and Mexico?? guarding it - from the outside.

It is time for Canada to fully embrace China and India as suppliers and business partners. \nChina can supply nearly everything that America can, faster, cheaper and a far better product.\nAmerica is a dying Country, thier citizens for years have elected the very same kind of people into their Governments. Old Stale Egotistical people who have no concern but getting re-elected.

So damn angry! And very upset for the many that voted for that idiot. I hate we all have to be on the dang boat together because we all live here. \n\nSorry to a Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Truly disappointed we are ruining alliances.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump has been jealous of Trudeau from the beginning. Especially when he saw how Melania looked at him. And because Canada is his Ukraine.

As much as I hate the idea of Americans suffering at the hands of Trump, I think PM Trudeau should cut Niagara power to the American side! Trump wants to play games, then Canada should stop the flow of everything coming into the U.S. just to show DJT how tariffs really work!

Time to join the EU. Canada shares a border with Denmark.

Oh Canada, the most beautiful country on this planet. We wish you good luck and strength to kick Trump's ass. The Czech Republic is with you

I am so embarrassed to be an American right now.....\nI stand with Canada! I would leave America and move to Canada in a second if they'd have me.

You go PM Trudeau - America needs you more than Canada needs America. If America wanted to stop drug movement, it should have gone after those drug thugs instead of going after identifiable by color, hard working men, women and children.

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!
