Back down canada, and listen to Trump please, drop your arrogance, America have been helping you for long

Please don't assume all Americans are into this crazy plan and man called Trump. He is not my President, never was, never will be. I am so sorry that this is happening for no good reason.

Canadians and other nations subject to tariffs, please understand that the *only* reason Trump used fentanyl as a pretext for tariffs is to bypass Congress, because the president can only put tariffs without Congress in matters of national security. Fentanyl is simply a pretext enabling Trump to do whatever he wants.

Can the US people please put Trump, Vance and Musk back into the playground, kids shouldent be left to throw tantrum without adult supervision !

Please, can Trump Refugees get expedited sanctuary in Canada?

Please stop and try to calculate the number of handguns in the US before you threaten Americans......more people in the US support Trump than you.

Trump a smart guy? Please, he's a grifting opportunist with numerous business failings. Smart is not it. More like privilieged nepo baby.

I am not a fan of our Prime Minister but I stand beside him as a proud Canadian. Thank you Prime Minister Tuesday for sending this strong message to that traitor Trump. He has no clue how Canadians rallied to support Americans in our homes when 911 happened. Americans, please take your country back.

Thank you sir! I served 6 years in the army, 13 months in Iraq. This is total slap in the face. This is in NO way the country I served. It’s a shit show and it’s evil. Please do whatever you need to, to stick it to Trump. Fuck him!

Please don't say that America did this, but say that Trump and the MAGA party did this. Millions of us can't stand the sight of him, not just now but for years and years. He is a disgrace to the USA and humanity.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

THIS WON'T GO AWAY UNTIL DONALD TRUMP GOES AWAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER PLEASE THE RICH IN CANADA PLEASE HELP SPEND YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU

Please PM Trudeau, it's not the United States who wants to Trade War, It's Trump and his incompetency. Trump is not thinking about the wellbeing of the Americans......

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

Please, all honorable leaders such as Trudeau, call out this absolute idiot, Trump! Who voted for this idiot?

Canadian leaders, please do not let Zelenskyy sign a mineral deal with the US. trump is setting Ukraine up to fail and take advantage of the Ukrainian people, like he lied to Americans. The world needs to now fight Russia and the White House. I stand with Canada and Mexico even though it is going to hurt my pocketbook...

Trump has got to be in deep with Russia. This makes no sense except to please our adversaries.

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

These are things our government is doing in full sight in order to distract all attention to the chaos ensuing, so that the WH can pursue even more nefarious projects behind closed doors. Poisoning democracy in an attempt to bring us to our knees before oligarchs and fascists. Trump has made it clear he seeks to be a dictator. Please research how fascism develops. Please people, don’t swallow propaganda initiated by the putin regime. \nTrump seems indeed to be a putin regime asset. Why else destroy all ally relationships?

A REAL leader. I would love to trade Trump for Trudeau please.

To All Canadian Citizens And European Citizens PLEASE HELP US in The United States Get Rid of The Russian Trump MAGA Party The Free World Is In Danger

i stand with you canada, 1000%. trump needs to be dealt with. those of us who know better, have to stand up. \n\nfrom a girl in minnesota❣️\n\nbtw…please take me, if i need to cross the border☀️

Gas and groceries and everything cost the same gas is actually cheaper!!! A bunch of CNN Leftist propaganda!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! GOD BLESS TRUMP AND STANDING UP FOR US TRUE AMERICANS!!! ALL YOU CNN SUPPORTERS AND BOTS COMMENTING PLEASE MOVE TO CANADA:)

From America: we don’t want this either. Canada is our friend. Please keep standing up to Trump! ❤

Trump did,not the majority of the United States, trump is the worse president we have had in decades. please do not blame all the American people. We don't want this either. I am so sorry this happened to you and Canada.

Please clarify why JT decided to send more aid to the Ukraine just a week before Trump was to negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskyy ? I think Canadians need to wake up \nAnd see who really are the bad guys .Too bad we don’t have a strong leader like the US .Little too late to be playing tough guy after he killed our country dont you think ??

Canada ?? can you please take me as refuge I'm refuge from dictetor Trump elon musk jd vence ! Pleas Canada

Can we please just call it what it is? It's not the US, it's the Trump Tarriffs. It's the Trumpers. The rest of America did not want this, him. More than half that voted didn't vote for him. This is not the US, this is Trump and his people. And imagine that, an abuser was elected and now he's doing exactly what abusers do, remove us from friends and family so that we only have him to rely on.

I don't mind Trump tariffing EEU China Mexico but please leave Canada alone\nThey are the best neighbors we have ???? specially Sunday when we need maple syru

Poisoning democracy in an attempt to bring us to our knees before oligarchs and fascists. Trump has made it clear he seeks to be a dictator. Please research how fascism develops.

Trump did the tarrifs, not America. Please know that most of us Americans don't want this.

This is so true. Trump is on putains' pocket . Please wake up America. I am an America .. so please don't let Trump drag the US down

Please trade with us in Europe.. We are happy to buy Canadian instead of US goods.. I feel sorry for the US people who did not vote for trump.. Go Canada!!

I don’t care what side you are on! Please, some trump loyalist make it make sense.

It makes no sense! We in US are not pleased with Trump doing this.

Trump please take it easy, that's not the way. Creating enemies for US is not the best way to go.

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Help us please. Most of us HATE trump as you know. What can we do?? It appears there are some finding foul play with the vote. \nI will hang a Canadian flag and stand with you.

Someone please get Trump out of America forever!

Canada please keep PM Trudeau in his position! He is brining it to Trump so perfectly, please don't break the chain!!

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Hi, American citizen here. Please know that half of us are so, so embarrassed to be part of the United States and to have Trump as our president. I cannot put into words how upsetting it is to know that so many people elected him a second time.

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

President Trudeau, most of us Americans are with you. We don't want Trump at all. Please help us.

As an American, I applaud your response and would make only one change. Instead of saying that 'America' did this, please more precisely state that the Trump administration is implementing these Trade War acts. ✌

Please understand that not all American people support trump. Not all of us support Russia. ALOT of us support Canada and Ukraine!!!!

Can we please do a re-election? Trump and his minions need to go away !

As much as people talked about Biden's cognitive decline, why is it so taboo to talk about Trump's decline? All of this is weird. People, please call your elected officials and tell them we don't want this. Hearing from you before you go to the polls to fire them in a few years will hopefully cause them to do something about the president. I'll say it again, this is weird.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.
