I’m American and i love Canada! I’m embarrassed with Trump’s decision. \n ❤? ??

From Angola, I’m with you Canada! Stand strong to this craziness from Trump. Add tariff to Tesla…

i’m an american. i stand with canada

I'm a Canadian and I welcome becoming the 51st! I'm sorry for what our communist canada has allowed to pour into your country. Hopefully we can become the 51st without any violence and see some real prosperity. Canada was sold by our prime minister long ago, hopefully yall can buy it back. God bless america!

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

Hold on y’all… I only heard less than 10 seconds on the video and he just DECLARED Canada as “our closest threat?” For real?? Better be glad I’m not in charge cause I’d “declare Canadian airspace as American territory.” Dont fly nothing

I'm a European who has been living in Canada for a while. I want to join the Canadian Army because I can see that some shit is coming, and I am ready to fight for Canada, just as my family fought in the Second World War in Europe.

As an American I stand with Canada and Mexico there’s some of us that don’t agree with what this government is doing. And as an American we shouldn’t stand with Russia that’s wrong. I’m sorry to all the countries out there that are taken effect by our circus of a government.

I'm so jealous of Canada. You have Trudeau and we have Trump and his moronic Maga sick sycophants. Can California please become the 11th province?

I'm an American and I fully support Canada. \n\nApologies for Donald's dumb actions, he's such a naughty boy.

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

I’m American ?? and I’m ashamed, this is pitiful. I stand with our Allies Canada ??, Ukraine ??

I'm Florida....... Looking for new home in Canada ..... now

I'm with you Canada!!!!!! Brilliant speech.

Hey Canada! I'm jealous....what's it like having a leader that isn't a stupid, ugly, fascist?

I'm sorry Canada.

When are Americans going to see that Trump is Mentally ill, and needs to be replaced/impeach even a kid could have more sense than he does he is using The Fentanyl excuse to get money out of them for free, Canada, well done, I'm with you❤

I'm SO VERY SORRY all this is happening! Canada, we send you our love! Right now, our government absolutely sucks! Many of us DO NOT like or support what's going on!

As a North American I’m glad Canada is holding their ground. It might be the proof our errant voters need to come to their senses

For all the Canadians looking to visit the USA we have no one running the parks lol ? everyone is fired ? also I’m sure this will hurt Canada ?? more than US unfortunately

I’m in Virginia USA and I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm American but I support you and Canada. ??❤️?

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

I'm very frustrated with Donald Trump, we voted for trump was a Big mistake....so sorry.\nWe stand with Canada and Ukraine.\nGod bless Canada.

Stay strong Canada, I don’t want this government or these tariffs, I pray I’m with the majority, this is NOT my America.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

I’ve never been to Canada I’ve always wanted to go visit. I’m from CT in the USA born and raised here. I’m ashamed of our government rn we must be the laughing stock of every other nation for all the INSANE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH NO REAL INTENTIONS OR PLANS THAT WILL IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR THE USA! All while “Selecting” billionaire elites into prominent positions of power & these ppl have no background knowledge or experience whatsoever for the positions that they’re being selected for!! The whole world has gotta be laughing at us in the USA because this is insanity over here now!!!

I'm with you Canada. Our president is a lunatic.

American here that doesn't like this. I'M SORRY Canada. \n? \n?❤\nI would rather be Canadian. Any room up north for a cannabis honor student ? and artist???

I’m an Australian and if Trump does this to our country I hope our politicians has the BALLs to stand up to this nut case like the Canadians did. Every Aussie stands with CANADA!

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Please know that not all Americans back our felon in chief. I don't understand how he got back in office, but I'm proud of Canada for standing your ground. Don't give in to him!

I'm American and I don't blame Canada one bit. They must do what they must do against a lunatic.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

An American from Indiana: I'm angry at Trump+Musk's policy and support Canada. I'd be happy if Canada put a 100% tariff on Elon Musk's Tesla.

I know you mean what you are saying, I'm disgusted with our new president that doesn't care about us or anyone but himself. I wish I could move to Canada. Here we are treated like garbage with no respect for homeless, children, elderly any human being. I admire you and Zelensky real gentleman.

I’m an American Veteran. I’m team Canada.

Canadian here. \n\nFact, I'm certainly not a Trump supporter. \n\nFact, Trudeau has almost destroyed Canada. \n\nTake from my comments what you will.

Pls don't get me wrong. I love my president right or wrong. But Trudeau makes a very compelling point. This is not the smartest thing to be doing with these tariffs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the reason President Trump brought the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico in the 1st place was for them to do more about stopping the flow of Phentenol (excuse if spelling is wrong) into our country. I thought both countries have stepped up to do just that already. No? If so then why continue with this stupidness?

I'm Canadian and Canada economy is BROKE asf ??????

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. Trump is not what we stand for, I’m so ashamed.

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

I'm a Mexican American and I stand with Canada.

Trudeau in the first 10 seconds already opens with a lie. Trump never said he’s going to “appease” Putin. He is (and I note I don’t see Canada getting involved) negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. That means both sides are going to want something out of that deal in order to sign it. But I’m not surprised with Trudeau deliberately spouting disinformation, it’s a national sport for him.

I'm moving to Canada

I'm in Botswana & I stand with Canada. Trump is captured by Putin.

As an American, I'm so sorry, Canada. I can't say I don't know anyone who wanted this. But I am not one of them, and never have been. This is insane.

As an American, I’m going to need to move to Canada for the next 4 years!

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.
