I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

From Canada to all the good Americans that don’t support trump. We still love you and will have beers with you again soon. Good luck it’s going to suck for all of us. Dump trump.

Love it that from 7:30 he started talking slowly and simple so that the US president understands XD

From America: Not all of us follow in the footsteps of our idiot leader. We love you, Canada.

Nobody loves USA but USA. Not even the US government loves USA

It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

I live in America, I Love Canada As I Live Right In The Border. ! I love All People This Is Terrible And Evil To Us Regular People! This Hurts Us All I Have Family, And Friends On both Sides of This Continent. The border is our back doors. We all shop, visit, entertain all over we all should be FREE. STOP THIS EVIL IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH! YAHSHAYUAH!

We are with you Mr. Prime Minister. We love you and the people of Canada. Just some misguided, hateful people that chose to put this racist, ignorant and criminal fool back into the Oval Office. He has no interest or knowledge of governance. We deeply apologize. May God bless you and your people ❣️?????? May God deliver us all from evil.

Trump is so in love with himself that he cant imagine putin not being his friend. And putin admiring him..putin is playing him..of course trump probably owes him and putin is collecting..not up to me or all of us to pay putin. That is trumps bill.. trump has us on a collision course with possible depression..i hope all those billionaires lose all their money..how stupid and greedy could they be..

we dint choozzz this trump did 80 % of us dont want this we love you you are great ppl dont blame us all trump has gone to far a lot of the USA will fight for you

That's because Trump is a piece of s*** and a communist and loves Putin and hates our allies and hates us as the people in this country us Americans That's how I feel about Trump!!!!\n\nHe's f****** up the economy he's going to take all your social security all your Medicaid you people put them in your s*** should go nobody else is just stupid people who voted for him should go But no everybody's going to suffer Good looking out Elon and Trump freaking pieces of crap \n??????????????

Love Trudeau or hate him... he is not backing down, and neither are the Canadian people. We love our American friends, we love your products. We love how you value freedom. But make no mistake, back us into a corner at your peril. We are nice, happy people but we have a warrior spirit.

Hey! Don't lump us all in with that clown! \n\nI do love that he does in fact have cards and he is willing to play them.

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

As an American we love Canada and despise Trump and his Administration would be dictator and Putin lapdogs. Seems like Trump is out to destroy the US. What will we all do when Trump and his team start wearing the Nazi insignia ?!

Uk citizen totally support Canada hope our prime minister follows suit and calls out Trumps vandalism and the his damage to Uk and European relations with him. Still love the US but not this tinpot Dictator. American friends Dump Trump he is and will keep dumping all over you

anyone figure out yet that Russia would love for the EU to approach them along with Ukraine with a truce proposal without US involved so that Trump looks like a problem... and separates us from our long term allies looking like people you cant trust. \n \nthe great deal maker is being played by putin. \n \nhe has divided the alliance, and now has singled out USA as outside the circle. This president is driving us into the dirt.

A real leader. Why we have push back from leaders outside or country and not from our own GOP is shameful and so tired of the misinformation, psychological warfare, and Russian talking points pushed by paid influencers across all social media. Thank you Canada. With love❤️ from an appreciative US citizen.

Trump is in love with Putin, a new US ally and the next trade partner.???

As a Canadian, I'd like to thank the Americans that stand with us as allies. We love you and stand with you in your fight as well.

Young Trudeau has forgotten more about running a country than Trump will ever know. I love Canada, the US is being corrupted by Russia.

Trudeau..A real leader. Thank you guiding us through this dark days. Greetings from an EU civilian. CANADA WE LOVE YE!

Canada, hit us with everything you got. We the good Americans fighting will weather the storm. Show the red states who just won't get it the truth!! Cut the power. Whatever you havebto do!! We will hold. Love you Canada!!!

Trudeau has done more for us as Prime Minister since he stepped down than the whole time he was Prime Minister. Canadians love Americans and Trump's bullying is causing this political fallout, dividing our best friends and neighbors.

I'm Canadian - never been a fan of JT. But hearing him speak today made me proud. He's right - Canadians are polite easy going, but if you push us too far, we will retaliate. I hate this - I love America and have American friends. This sucks for both countries.

American here, Canada we love you. We stand with you. We’re sorry. Most of us don’t want this either. Do what you need to do. My only hope is that you can forgive us one day. ??

You were wrong at one point only, Trump is not smart, he is as dumb as his actions. In a few weeks he messed up the free western world holding hands with Putin?! Used to love the US and went there every year for holidays.. now we will go to Canada.. as a Swede I think I would like both the land and the people. Your president seems to be great?

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

And let me be very clear to all your black minorities Mexicans Indians Haitian whoever voted for these white National Republicans and how Hitler Donald j Trump and let me be very clear to you all yes you sold your souls for the mighty Dollar just like a lot of other black people minorities Mexicans Indians and dark skin people in this country yes you all have messed up terribly you cannot trust these white privileged people here in this country to do best or what's best for us just look at the system look at the Lost systems that justice system the system is only here to protect white supremacist people organization gang members that's all they are KKK klu Klux klan's members in this country and they do run Washington DC they run the high position in this country of jobs and yes they are all in our armed forces military they are everywhereas black people you all minority whoever in military it's time to quit stop fighting the white people's war and dying for these rich white people when they won't go with their own people to save us but we would sacrifice our people 24/7 365 days a year for $500 years we've been losing our loved ones to protect these white privileged people here in this country and they have been stepping on everybody including other allies and other countries

That's someone I'd love to have as a leader in the US. Not this turd

Y'all really hate when America has a president who is more than an empty suit. I love watching you all whinge endlessly. Europe has thumbed their nose at us for the last 30 years. I am fed up. Poloce your own damn oceans! America is sick of being your beast of burden.

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

Canadians are polite and friendly but dont piss us off. Like the quiet kid on the playgound that eventually has enough and takes out the bully. You will not find a country anywhere in the world that can unite, in very short order, as a people for the love of our country.

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

“Make no mistake”. You guys love saying that as you have some extraordinary knowledge. Trump is one of the brightest business men in the world. He knows what he is doing. Canada has taken advantage of the US for a long time and Trump knows this. I’m not even from the US and this makes sense for USA long term.

American liberals love and respect Canada and the EU more than their own country. That's why they have put us in so many one-sided relationships.

Canada, we would love for you to join the EU! In these challenging times, having a strong and reliable friend like you would mean a lot to us. Sending much love from Luxembourg, Europe ?

I love how it used to be “president trump” or “Mr president” but now it is “Donald”?? very subtle but very powerful. Show us no respect and expect none in return #canadastrong

USA is no longer a western democracy. It is now a Kleptocratic autocratic country. As a Canadian we must fight against this corrupt US government. Hopefully Americans, who love their freedom and have fought for their freedom, stand up against this wanna be dictator.

It is said that if America imposes a tarrif on Canada, then Americans will pay more for Canadian goods. Possibly electricity too. Now, if Canada mirrors the actions of the US, then Canadians will have to pay more for American goods. So we are all just hurting ourselves in a way. Don't you love modern leadership? I suppose it's better than dropping bombs. But it's vile.

Canada! We didn't want Trump. It was a mistake. Forgive us. Help us fix this! I love you Canada.

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

From Ukraine with respect. A few decades ago our school hired a Canadian as a native speaker to teach us some spoken English. He was not very smart and made some grammar mistakes here and there. But what surprised me is how on his 1st day he tried to make a joke, smth. “We, Canadians, have nothing to apologize for, except for Celine Dion”. He startled to giggle, searching our faces for a sign of approval. There was none! We love Celine! To this day it astounds me how many Canadians badmouth their great singer or their own Prime minister. What is wrong with you? Like every Canadian I’ve met kept saying many unpleasant things of Trudeau. You should be proud of your prime minister the way you are proud to be Canadians and slow down on insulting him!

Just imagine a similar (Trump, Vance and Zelensky) dialogue - but in 1940. \n \nThe Reich is furiously bombing Britain! Churchill flies to Washington for help. and Roosevelt tells him, ‘Sir, your card is dealt. ‘Make a deal with the Führer before it's too late. ‘He's a peace-loving man. I've known him a long time.’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘But, Mr President, he's bombing us! My predecessors in 1938 tried to negotiate with him, but you see what happened? He doesn't honour any treaties on principle.’ \nVice President Garne enters the conversation: ‘Churchill, your country is a mess! We and Hitler want peace, and you want war! It's you who are incapable! You disrespect our Oval Office with your demands for support.’ \nRoosevelt adds: ‘Yes, Churchill, you're playing with World War II! Make peace with Hitler immediately, and give us all the resources of your island. By the way, where's your suit?’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘I'll wear it after the war.’

the man, americans love so highly that they voted for him not once - but twich - as their commander in cheif and president - is a man with a shovel digging the hole deeper and deeper, to the point where he cannot get out. As a Dane I support Canada all the way, and belive Us is lost.'\n\nAll my respect and sympathy for the way Canada's politicians handle this situation.

Hello Canada, \nThe Netherlands here (well, one citizen thereof). We love Canada; I speak for all the citizens hereof. Your troops liberated us at the end of WWII. We have not forgotten that. Now, we in Europe are facing Hitlers shadow, in Putin. Join us. Apply to become a member of the EU.

That's why all you canadians hate.The americans don't sit down and say that you're kind, loving people, because you don't, you canadians, can't stand us

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…
