As an American... I have not spoken to a SINGLE person from my country who wants ANY part of this trade war... Or any other type of animosity with Canada. We love Canada.\n\nTrump is just trying to cause chaos and nonsense headlines on an hourly basis in order to distract from the fact that they are looting the treasury. His administration is literally set on siphoning every dollar of taxpayer money they can het their hands on. Nothing could be more obvious...\n\nJust yesterday they announced their plan to buy 5% of all crypto with our tax dollars. Because apparently rugpulling his own voters twice was not enough. He wants to rugpull the entire nation. Just like the Clinton's did to Detroit. But for the entire country. Because we have become asleep at the wheel. And will do nothing besides complain about it on Twitter. Ironic coincidence, no?

You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Prime Minister. As an American Veteran, it breaks my heart that we are treating our closest friends and allies with such contempt. The current U.S. administration is a shameful embarrassment to Americans. I love Canada almost as much as I love my own country. Stay strong and keep standing up to the senile bully in the White House - for ALL of us. ??❤️??

What Canada needs to understand is that you have a problem with our president? You don’t need to have a problem with all Americans we all support Canada so please understand that. It’s two people put the hurt on them don’t punish innocent Americans we love you guys.

Keep your head up Canada !! Sending love from America, and on behalf of all americans, we apologize for this mess. Allies today, tomorrow and forever

Unfortunately, Americans voted for an ignorant, stupid, Putin loving idiot who may put us all in harms way. Thanks

I would not want to live down there with the pervasive American attitude. I thought my American friends were lovely people, but then we went to a restaurant together. I was flabberghasted by how they ALL spoke down to the waitress, as if she was beneath them. You can pick out the American tourists here, by how they talk to service people. I wish I could say this was a stereotype, but i live in a tourist town and see it every day.

As Canadians, we will get through this. I am loving all the heartwearming comments from all over. And Americans, we love you. We're sorry for this.

Love to Canada from Washington State. We don't want this either. I have been crying inside ever since Garfield staged that coup On Jan 6th, 2010. Guess what. The American courts said Garfield doesn't get Presidential Immunity for his actions on Jan 6th because he WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF HIS CRIMES. Little by little . . .

most of us Americans want this either..love to Canada

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

Love ya Canada. Concerned American.

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

I love Canadians, we're boycotting American products here in America. ❤

Im out, i love America, God bless America and the tough , take no shit American people..and F crooked Canada gaining wealth from ripping us off....

But Americans voted for this, they love King Trump, the messiah, the economic genius. He's going to make USA the greatest at everything. ????????????? Normal folk reckon he's a two bit dickhead.

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

Canadians, I will not buy any American products. Love and support to you from Australia ❤

I'm an American but I will support Canadians anyway I can... Love from California.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up against the evil President that we Americans are stuck with. Love to Canada from an old man in Arizona.

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

You believe in working together until you force your Truckers to take shots like farm animals, then you shut down their banks, then you stole their bitcoin. Don't lecture us about working together. Your own people can't stand you, and neither can we. I think it's an honor that President Trump calls you Governor, because you are terrible at leading a country. We care about you as a human, and a person created in the image of God, but most Americans are very unhappy with you lack of leadership, and style of tyrannical incompetence. Canada would be much better off with America's constitution and wealth. If you really want to work with America, let the people decide. America loves Canada and we welcome you with open arms.❤

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

American here who has spent 57 years visiting and loving Canada. HELP US get rid of the monsters in the White House. Thank you Canadian friends.

American here, in your neighbouring (!) state of Michigan. WE LOVE CANADA ???❤️

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

I’m an American and I did Not vote for Trump. I knew he would destroy our country if he was elected. Many people are angry in America that Trump has launched this trade war with our Canadian friends. We love our neighbors. Many Americans do not want this. We are not happy with how things are changing for the worst in our country and in other countries. We are being ruled by an insane, thug/criminal and bully and his rich, puppet buddies. Diplomacy is not in their vocabularies. This is so sad. Stay strong Canada??

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

Another true leader showing how sick, sad, and pathetic the Republican Party and American so-called 'conservatives' are. Tump is the worst president, maybe the worst national leader in modern history. Thank god other nations have not succumbed to the Putin loving sickness of the Republican Party.

America the time has come for us to BAKER Act our President as being unfit for office. Act while we still have a country. While we still have an economy. Every day he is ALLOWED to stay in office is a day DEEPER into TOTAL Chaos and RUIN for our families, our homes, our careers, of everything we love and hold dear and of everything we are as Americans. This may differ from person to person, but one thing we can ALL agree on is it's NOT this. It is NOT what we are witnessing here today. President Trump is not just waging war with Canadians he is waging war on AMERICANS. We MUST take swift action and FIGHT for our country. TAKE AMERICA BACK. Put America back into the hands of the PEOPLE. We the people. NOT we the government and it's BILLIONAIRE BULLIES.

I'm an American citizen. trump is not my president . He is a orange boy looking for red dog comminst love. china russian or north korea. Sorry Canada ?? trump musk sucks comminst ass.... I love Canada ??. Thank you for your time and videos.

honestly..... for me i like... noo i love trump very much!!! his entertainment skills are so awsome and stunning... but i hate all american idiots who voted for him!!!!!!

I am American, and our Preasident hates his country and the people in it. He is treating us like second class people. I am so sorry Canada ?? I live in Michigan I love Canada and its people... God help the USA ?? ? ?? ??

Canada ?? I am SO SORRY!!\nDECENT AMERICANS LOVE YOU!.... Do what needs to be done. We don't blame you!\nWe blame the felon and EVERY REPUBLICAN who allowed the to happen.

Im American. I love Canada. I am against the orange mans decision-making. The tariffs were never about Fentanyl, its a lie perpetuated by DT

I love how when he addresses Trump directly he dumbs it down and speaks like hes talking to a 3 year old…well done. I am an American but I am HUMAN first. Something the rest of my countrymen should take a moment and try remember.

Oh Canada! We love you! Stand tall. \nI’m ashamed to be an American.

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

I am an american and I would love to have the canadian president as my president.. i despise Trump,\n.

Let me guess the orange clown's reponse....\n\nCanada started the tariff war.\nTrudeau is a dictator.\nHe isn't flying the US flag behind him.\nHis socks have not been ironed.\nOh...and he didn't say thank you.\n\nCanada loves Americans BUT hates the orange clown.

I’m American..I love the people of Canada & Mexico..and the beautiful land of both countries. I truly believe illegal fentanyl will become a presidential justification for annexation of our allied countries. Putins attack on Ukraine has emboldened a specific American to seek out his own tress passing, imho. I pray I’m wrong..but when someone tells you what they want, unreasonable or not, I’ve learned in my lifetime to believe them

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

Canada has two modes , I'm sorry. and your about to be sorry Donald love to the American people Take back your country protest loud come together show the world what democracy is

Love from Oregon! Hit us hard, Canada! Show all these stupid trump supporters that the rest of the world won't put up with them voting for a dictator! He's a lying felon, and i can't believe we have to deal with this. Just know many many many americans also did not want this and stand with our longest ally! Go Canada!

Justin Trudeau, I love you! You are so concise and literate in your speeches! Thank you for being a voice of reason in our American turmoil.

I love my American friend always ❤ ??

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

I’m American. Good for you! We dont want this either. We people of America love Canada and its citizens.

As an American, I stand with Canada. Most of us love Canada, and tons of Americans did not want this. Still, too many did because they don’t understand what they’re doing.

We love you Canada! all decent Americans stand with you!
