California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

Well done canada ?? ?

Gran bel discorso.\nSei Grande, Canada!!!! \n??

I support Canada’s decision from the US because our government is being controlled by a mad man who doesn’t care about the American people.

Why you are afraid \nTake care of Canada

America is ready! Bring it! MAGA.. we know how china, is using Canada and Mexico to bring in goods while we can’t sell our own goods in other country’s. Canada is chinas friend

It’s time for Canada to join the EU . Becoming a member is almost done anyway as we share so much more with them than the Fragmented States of America. The cheapening of “ America” is tragic to watch. Your White House has never been so gaudy.

I as Canadian stand with Canada & Canadian Government. All points raised are Valid.\n USA imposed sudden & thoughtless changes in Trade.

I’m so sorry, please pray for us ?? I’m with you Canada ?? ????

He's just mad because he \nIs getting less money doesn't give a s about canada

Canada was already charging the United States terrifs. But the United States wasn't charging Canada terrifs

Canada should instantly remove all discounts. Canada should sell their oil to Europe instead.

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

Good for you Canada! I’m an American but at the current moment I wish I wasn’t. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and China. Please don’t back down at any point. If you do…orange face has won!

i live in michigan. we would love to be part of canada!

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

As an American, I am proud of you Canada!! You are showing class, integrity, and good morals. What is happening in our country is absolutely unacceptable and makes me sad. I also stand with Mexico and Ukraine.

Whom did these dumb and dumber punish when they introduces the 25% tariff? The customers, in both the USA and Canada. The seniors on fixed minimum income that we cannot effort buying fresh food coming from the USA.

Hi Canada! You have support from Minnesota❤ Your voice of reason is comforting.

Good job Canada ????

So many of us Americans don't want this either. We're so frustrated and unhappy that our closest ally, Canada, is being treated this way. Thank you for recognizing it's the government and not the American people and that they're hurting us as well. ?

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 ?? ❤️.

Great Job Canada!! Unfortunately, he is too stubborn to listen.

Not to many people drink USA liquor in Canada mostly coffee

Stay Strong Canada. Greetings from Austria.Europe and Canada need to stay together?

I am a Washingtonian and support I support Canada and Trudeau 100% Canada and Trudeau 100%.

Canada will come begging to Trump wait and see ???

Thank you for representing Canada so strongly and eloquently. ??

how safe it would be for canada to become state 51!! they should be honoured!!

Support Canada against these attacks from the Trump administration.

Trudeau you broke Canada, also not only Fyntenal but a 200 Billion$$$ Deficit between United states and Canada that you are freaked out your going to loose.

Canada is becoming Jamaca??

We apologize to Canada for our third rate education system that produces morons who don’t understand fear-based politics are rarely backed by facts. Use the right buzz words, crime/drugs/money and the sheep will line up every time, guaranteed.

Think about this more goods come out of Canada and into the USA vs Canada. And it’s the same speech as last time.

As an American I want to apologize and encourage Canada to stay strong. Remember there are millions of us here in America that do not want this either and want nothing more than for this to all be a bad dream.

I wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

If you acted as a leader of Canada, instead of focusing on destroying Canada's economy, and you allowing millions of illegal immigrants so they can vote for you, none of this would have happened. You better find the way to work it out with Trump because Canada has a lot more to loose.

Trudeau, it's because of YOU that Canada is in this position! You did all this to our country. You and your environmental scams for not letting Canada have their pipeline, you left the borders open so that fentanyl, criminals and illegal immigrants can come into the country... you constantly printed money and created the inflation before all this happened ... now don't try to cover all your mess with big words today as if you really care.

??America loves you Canada our president doesn’t reflect our entire country and what we stand on AMERICA STANDS FOR CANADIANS ??

Smart people will be moving to places like Canada.

will canada help fund ukraine How Canada plans to use Russian cash to help fund Ukraine’s war effort

Looks to me like the tariffs have worked - Canada has started to cooperate

Tariffs, sanctions, do whatever you need Canada. Let the USA feel the pain they have asked for.

Sorry Wolf this is an incredible. This is exactly what everybody in Canada and the Democrats told you was gonna happen with Donald Trump. You guys are no Walter Cronkite that’s for sure. 20:09

Washingtonian of 64 years here. I stand with you Canada from my blue state. I am so embarrassed right now to be an American. ?

My curse is always for Canada

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

The world respects Canada and this Scot is disgusted with Mr Trump's antics.
