When Americans were held hostage in Iran, it was Canada our great neighbor, who came to our rescue. Always a trusted and valued partner in war and peace. 48.2% of Americans are just holding our breath until the midterm congressional elections. We are sincerely sorry for our current lapse of common sense and Integrity. Please stand by us in our time of need.

Trudeau has drug Canada's Economy Down and Held the Proud Canadian People Hostage depending on Already Unfair Tax/Trade Terriffs on American Products that have kept Trudeaus Criminal Administration!

It is NOW a National Security Imperative that we build oil and gas pipelines to all three coasts so we can never be held hostage by Americans Again! I AM CANADIAN!!!

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

We love you Canada !! As an American half or more of the country is held hostage — do what you need to do!!!!!!

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

I hope the world clearly see that many of us Americans feel like we’re being held hostage by a rogue government.\n\nWe stand behind anyone who can either bring it to its senses, fix it, or take us as refugees. Things are growing increasingly dire… and Republican voters are cheering it on.

Trump is a Russian agent and Americans are being held hostage by his administration!

Prime Minister Trudeau, as an American, I understand and support what you're doing because we are being held hostage by walking talking malfeasance in the white house. I did not vote for that man and under eternal lifetimes would never vote for that man nor the people that support him. \n\nI don't want to suffer and I don't want others to suffer but there is no recourse with the current occupant of the White House.

It’s just one big scheme for the Bro/Oligarchs to make money while destroying the US and World Economy. They are all betting the short today while everything crashes.\nUnfortunately the American People and their lively hoods are all being held hostage by THIS Pathologic CRIMINAL !! Good luck Canada- Every Country should freeze this maniac out and Not do business with him!!!

Thrump brandishes the threat of force and puffs out his chest\n\nAfter having lunch with Sarah Netanyahu in his private club in Florida yesterday, December 4, 2024, Thrump, the next president of the world's leading power, made a thunderous statement; threatening those who hold Israeli hostages and their sponsors with terrible reprisals. We know him well enough and we predict a chaotic and catastrophic mandate worse than the first. But this overly muscular statement helps us predict what the foreign policy of this contested and protesting president will be. He who - during his election campaign - made it known that he is against the war in Ukraine and against war in general, we do not understand how he is going to free the Jewish hostages held by Hamas without resorting to the exaggerated deployment of force? But the most serious thing is that during his next term, he would very much risk leading humanity adrift. How can he not learn the lesson of the student movement that shook America at the very beginning of 2024? And how will he dare to swim against the current? Knowing that American youth have clearly become aware of the Palestinian tragedy, firmly opposing their country's strange foreign policy and vigorously condemning the Zionist takeover of their state affairs? Thrump would do well to take into account the cardinal changes that have taken place in the unanimous awareness of international public opinion; otherwise he will be grilled alive. It is not a single man - even if it means being the President of the UNITED STATES of America - who will stop the inexorable march of history. The Palestinian cause obeys this logic of evolution and what has been imposed by force of arms for 75 years has reached its fateful deadline. Today's world is no longer the world of yesterday and Thrump has an interest in drawing the necessary conclusions. The war of liberation will continue with or without him. Israel will be forced to fear international law and Netanyahu will have to serve his sentence emanating from the International Court of Justice incessantly. This is the common sense of history and this is what will drastically comfort international public opinion.
