Please don’t resign Trudeau we the Canadians need you right now. I don’t want Trump to have Canada ?? I am with Trudeau all the way when it comes to saving our country. Please Canadians we the ones who were born in Canada ?? don’t want US to take over our country and make it part of US do we?? \nI am so proud that our Government Trudeau is speaking out to Trump . ????

Trump is definitely not a chess player… ahaha.\nHe's dismantling the U.S. in the long run, tearing apart 80 years of dominance.\nI feel sad for your country, sad for mine (France), and not exactly thrilled that he’s empowering China and Russia.\n\nWhat do you think will happen?\n\n- Europe strengthens its military.\n- Europe reindustrializes.\n- No country can rely on the U.S. anymore—whether it's poorer nations dependent on American aid or wealthy ones like those in Europe.\nThe outcome is clear: the U.S. is bleeding soft power. For about five years, it will appear stronger than ever. But once other countries adapt (which will take roughly five years), they’ll all tell the U.S. to *** off.\n\nNo more need for its military power. No more reliance on its natural resources. No more dependence on American industry.\n\nThe worst part? The world will shift its trust toward Europe, China and Russia. The U.S. will remain the richest and most powerful country, but it will no longer hold the monopoly it enjoys today. It is going to be heavily contested. Please enjoy the current situation. This is purely temporary.\n\nMark my words!

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

Sorry, Trump does not care of past allies he is taking the US into a dictatorship. Just observing from Downunder the past few days shows clearly the tyrrany of authoritarianism as Trump and the Maga cult are destroying Democracy and the US Constitution. Only Americans can stop this trajectory to save themselves and everyone from Putin. They Trump Musk Vance and Maga are a national and international disgrace and a threat to the world… please all stop this tragedy by a convicted felon and insurrectionist. Listen to Bernie Sanders.

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

What's the trolling horse? Cause Trump is doing stuff and nobody's watching what he's doing. Guess what? This can be World War 3, no matter what Canadians do to protect their borders. He aint gonna be satisfied anyway, so we gotta cut our resources and go somewhere else. Take our goods and baskets out of the basket. And start dealing outside of the US that was our big mistake we don't want to deal with Russians. This putin is nothing but a dictator please nobody

Please take notice Trump!!!! Turn the madness around and put aside your ego. You are destroying your own country. From Australia.

Hey Canada you want to trade Justin Trudeau for two Trump and Vance hell we will even throw in Elon Musk. No how about Trump administration as well. Want do you say? Please take them all!

Trump is just determined to make his MAGA hats more expensive! Can't even manufacture them in the US..... Now take a minute and please bow your head and remember when the USA was a great country!

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

Aha - an adult in the room. That's refreshing! \nWith the slightest inquiry at all, anyone can see the obvious absurdity (the lie) in the premise that this is about drugs crossing the border. \nThis Trump administration really takes us all for fools. \nSorry Canada - Please stand by, many of us are doing our best to turn this sinking ship around.

Canadian here, my grandfather died fighting the Nazi's during WW2 in the Raid on Dieppe and is buried in France. Trump (The Evil One) and Musk are Nazi's. Remember when they were campaigning on the water and the last few boats in the parade were flying Nazi flags???? I will never let that Hitler wannabe take my precious country. Everything he touches turns into worm vomit. I will pray for my American friends and family: God please remove this maniac from the White House. Love, Nancy

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

Canada...thank you! Please keep pushing Trump and his administration. We are counting on you to take this horrible person to task!

Canada is a drug and criminal haven. Trudeau is an absolute liar. He increased prices on all of us Canadians and he dares say Trump will do that. Our country is a threat to the USA. We are open friends with the PLA. Please America take us over. The Chinese have control here and the Indians are replacing us.

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

As I look at all the wonderful comments from Americans supporting Canada the tears are streaming down my face. Thank you! What I worry about is what is Trump up to?. \nWhy the decoupling from allies, not just Canada. Worse, why support Russia at the UN? Why take down your cyber defences? Is this a dictator digging himself in? Is he using Kim Jung Un's playbook? Americans, please be very careful with this man. The free world loves you but we need you to be free.

Mr Trudeau, trump talking about Fentanol is a lie, simply take a look, if that drug is so dangerous, why in China ?? there is nothing noticed about that Fentanol, no drugs records, no drugged chinese people on streets, like in usa drugged nation .. \nusa is deadly scared of Chinese ?? development .. so please take proper side of that usa BS ..

Mr. Trudeau, I wish you could be the American president. You have more of what we need than trump ever thought about. To my Canadian friends, my apologies. My country has entered an embarrassing period of time. We will resolve this, but it will take time. In the meantime, please know that the problem is our president, not our people.

Canada tried to appease Trump and pretended to take his lies seriously. You can't appease dictators and dictator-wannabes, ever. Don't boo our national anthem at hockey games please, but don't give Trump anything. Most Americans are on Canada's side.

Dear Canada: please know that this orange buffoon does NOT speak for the vast majority of Americans that value truth, integrity and other humans. He shows every day that he cares only about his ego, his personal wealth and his billionaire buddies. Taking the side of dictators is his stock in trade, as we’ve seen numerous times. God help us until we’re rid of Trump and his idiot sycophants!

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

That government had a somewhat level deficit UNTILL TRUMP AGAIN. This time the +3% growth that was there for him to start either is ALREADY at a -2%. Americans… that means your country is going to LOOSE MONEY IN THE FIRST QUARTER!!!\nThat’s a 5% drop!! That’s depression drop in what is “the best ever”, “the most healthy economy ever seen before” blah blah blah!! \nHe is starting the third world war and it will happen if y’all continue to take the lawlessness and bullshit\nNo one will survive two years, we won’t make it untill midterms!! Please someone take care if private bone spurs and his Bunions!!!\nI Am Canadian ??????

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.

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

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,,,

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...

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.

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☀️

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

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

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.

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.

Please do not think that the United States did this. Trump did it. We hate him. We wish he would go away. Forever. Nd take all his quislings with him.

Dear Jesus please take Donald J Trump out of our lives . Rid us of him dear Jesus , rid us of him .

Please Donald trump help save Canada too even if it takes becoming a state of the U.S God bless America

Thank you president Trump. Not only Africans. But please get read of Hindus. We got millions of iligals. Taking over west states California primary … please deported back to India. They getting fake cdl. Trucking legally in USA not good buying business across USA. Enough

President Trump, also if you could please sir end the immigrant trucking. They’re taking our truck driving jobs as well. Whoever in US says there’s a driver shortage used a Biden calculator. There’s no driver shortage there is a pay and fair treatment of drivers shortage

Much as illegal immigration is an important issue for Trump to take on! \nThe other most important thing is stopping the useless unwanted war in Ukraine and Israel by not sending any of our tax dollars!!!! Someone please tell this to Trump please

This is disgusting, someone has to stop them, PLEASE TRUMP stop these people from trespassing into our land, take all necessary measures to stop these illegals from entering our country
