Dear Canada, I am an American citizen, and I do not agree with what Trump is doing. I do not agree that Trump is President.

I’m so so sorry Canada we love you hate our president

This man does not speak for my family or my community and does not speak for Canada. He's a criminal and ruined my country. Save Canada.

Thank you Canada

what about invading Canada? then it's logical not to have to bother with Canada's opinion

Canada may need this enhanced border security to defend against Trump

❤ Thank you Mr. Trudeau, Canada has always been America’s greatest ally. No nonsense speech. ?

As an American canada have the right to retaliate. Its too bad that US have overly smart president that somehow overflow from his head????

Trudeau govt. Is failed to maintain \nRelationship with USA .\nCanada need mature P.M.\nI respect bond between Us and Canada public.\nBut Trump is right he is now taking\nCare of his own country's economy. He is not allowing taxpayers money to E.U. & other country's.

GO CANADA, stick it to Trump.

Bravo Trudeau!!! This real American supports Canada ?? and all that are against d ?

Genius Trump, who wrote Art of Deal. He want split Rusia from China and get rare earth. Insted he is spliting Europe and Canada from Usa. And rare earth will go to Europe or China. And prove worldwide America can be trusted ?

Can't wait to watch Canada's economy to tank. Since they think they are so tuff lol. Our economy can handle it but Canada can't. It'll kill there economy that's why they are crying.

Canada seems like the new United States of America

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

I am American and do not support what trump is doing to CANADA.

OH CANADA! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of YOU and your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Do NOT let Donald Trump ruin your way of life. It has been pristine for way too long. Hang in there, stay strong, we Americans are behind you. I am so ashamed of the people that put Agent Orange and his hillbilly in charge. We will fight, make no mistake, we will fight for the real America and for you too. I was born in Deep River, Ontario in 1954. My original family originates in Miramichi (formally New Castle), New Brunswick. I still own 45 hectares in Miramichi. I was brought here by my parents. They would be so ashamed. I think it is time I came back home. ♥️☘️

Americans do NOT stand with the “h*tler wannabe” Canada thank you for handling this with grace. We are going to struggle, we are going to suffer, please help us.

America will not be bullied by Canada you will soon be the 51st state shut up

No worries, we are preparing and ready for anything, Canada will step up and stand up, and we will find better friends and allies and economic partners. Our society has more in common with many other countries than the US.

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

DROP YOUR TRADE BARRIERS, CANADA!

I’m American..I love the people of Canada & Mexico..and the beautiful land of both countries. I truly believe illegal fentanyl will become a presidential justification for annexation of our allied countries. Putins attack on Ukraine has emboldened a specific American to seek out his own tress passing, imho. I pray I’m wrong..but when someone tells you what they want, unreasonable or not, I’ve learned in my lifetime to believe them

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

A real politician. Support for Canada from Ireland.

Western Democratic World & All others Support Canada to the max .

Imagine how great the USA could be if it had a leader with the same intelligence, respect, youth, vigour and honesty as the Prime Minister if Canada.

War on you Turduo..not on Canada.

Do what is right. Stand up for democracy and the rule of law. Stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Staying firm with Canada....do not be bullied. Stand your ground.

Trudeau‘s response doesn’t look anything like somebody that wants to work with us. He just turned a tariff that was aimed at creating some equality behind our trades into a trade war not Trump we will own Canada soon enough now because of Trudeau’s terrible response

From Oklahoma, so many here support you Canada and Trudeau and also Zelenskyy! I know it doesn’t seem like it but there is indeed a big community here that isn’t brainwashed ?

Long Live Canada ??

Who cares about Canada ?

This is a joke right? There is almost nothing I buy in the store that is made in Canada. lol. I buy American or locally grown stuff.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

You people are piss weak. This isn’t about drugs and border security. It’s about taking over Canada. CALL IT OUT.

This guy sounds and looks like a robot. America will be fine. We don't need Canada

Bull shit canada

???Canada, this is not the fight you want... Truuuuust me!

So much love and respect to Canada from an American that recognizes you are 100% correct. \nWould that we had such an articulate, empathetic, intelligent leader. \nHe is rising to the moment while ours drags us into the mafia thug abyss.

Mr. Trudeau mentions there's no drug problem, how can you say this. Fentanyl has been coming through your boarders. This Must stop. Your Ally who offers security for Canada should be respected . Our citizen's are dyeing. I stand with Our President and his Administration. Canada we love you , but enough is enough .

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

I wonder is MAGA realize that through these tariffs they have pretty much guaranteed the Liberal Party of Canada will take the next federal election. Canadians WILL NOT elect a party or any officials they think might be even a little sympathetic to American interests.

I stand with you, Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. I love that you have a reasonable, decent, humane adult leader, Canada, and not an insane, bloated, screaming orange toddler. I'm so sorry America has allowed this to happen, and I'm grieving for our formerly friendly relationship. Not all of us wanted this. Please forgive those of us who stand with you and our allies and not with Tr*mp, Vance, and Putin. I love you, Canada! ?? ? ?? ❤

Now wait a dam minute we done lost Canada????

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

I’m an American and I love Canada!!!?

From America ?? I say THANK YOU Canada ?? !!! You’re Standing Tall to the lies!! The Dictators! Canada HAS and Always will be our Brothers & Sisters, Friends !! ❤ Bravo to the BRAVEST!!!
