American Republican here, keep standing strong, Canada! Thank you!

Canada would be in a better place If he only spoke this clearly and stood up with a back bone years ago, not months before leaving office! smh

Canada needs America.

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.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Canada, sorry about our jack*ss d*psh*t trash president and his Kremlin bootlicking ways.

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.

A real politician. Support for Canada from Ireland.

Sadly I’m an American democrat that actually feels relieved that Canada is there. I feel like they are the grownups watching us learn from our bad choices. Thank you Canada.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

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

Justin does not have the support of his own party. They have no confidence in him and he cannot bring economic benefit to Canada other depending on US

Trump has invented the emergency with Canada to avoid Congress and use executive powers to slap a tax (taxation without representation) like a King would, on the US people. Last time this happened tea was thrown into the river and the US fought their war of independence.\n\nIt’s time to declare independence from Trump/MAGA

We dont want your globalist world Canada. We are leaving the neo liberal order. Open boarder and the post industrial apocalypse you want to bring to tbe world. Problem is these leftist will sabotage and destroy thier own country just to spite trump and their own people. They support a nazi lead party in Ukraine where even gay marriage is illgeal. Leftist are sick curel people

USA sends more Fentanyl to Canada than they send to us. FACT!

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 ?

Our PM is strong and true leader, Canada responded very diplomatically, while protecting Canadians and in effort to help American business, farmers and people.

PoS ?JTurd!!! I wouldn’t listen to a word he says. He’s destroyed Canada. Should be imprisoned!!! ??

Vive la 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.

Bull shit canada

Well done Canada ?? a measured response. I think you have the support of most Americans to switch off the lights.

Yea Oh Canada! Perception of Trump, not its citizens, is spot on.

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.

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

We did not all vote for that orange clown. I absolutely despise orangina.\nVoted for Harris/Walz!\nWe stand with our Allies—Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc.\n\n#resisttrump\n\n???️‍???

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! ?? ? ?? ❤

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.

Canada ❤\nTrump against humanity

Canada looking like a great 51st state

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

We’re only vacationing in Canada until trump is OUT! Go Canada!!!! ??

Pensez-y. Pour lutter contre les tarifs américains, l'Ukraine n'est pas l'affaire du Canada.

Canada takes American liquor off the shelves. In Germany I saw today that my favorite restaurant replaced American CocaCola with German FritzCola (which tastes so much better, by the way) ?

As a US citizen who has considered Trump to be a boorish moron since I was a child in the 1980s, I thank Canada and PM Trudeau for standing strong against our idiot-in-chief and I hope we can repair this unnecessary rift as soon as possible.

As an American, I stand with Canada. I am worried, but someone needs to stand up to Trump. I am sorry that it is not the US. So many people still support him and I just don’t understand it.

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. I support Canada from Tennessee. I despise the MAGA/Fascist/Trump movement. Prime Minister Trudeau, please put a 100% tariff on Tesla and anything associated with anything Musk. I hope the EU will cease using Space X and anything else Musk.

Slava Canada ?? slava Ukraine ??

Well done Canada for standing up against this bully of Trump administration.

Trump is a man without moral principles. for who the words dignity, friendship mean nothing. Respect to Canada and all the countries who don't kneel before the brutal and unscrupulous man.

I am an American and I stand with Canada and every other nation being harassed and bullied by the Trump!

We Amreicans stand with Canada and apologize for the reckless government that has hijacked our democracy ! I know the majority of Americans support Canada and all of Europe too.

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

I sincerely apologize for the MAGA Republicans that appear to have lost their minds. Why so many people support a wannabe dictator, I do not know. Why so many people failed to vote, I do not know. I hope this does not last long. Frankly, it's already gone too far. I live in Minnesota. We as a State we deeply appreciate Canada, our neighbors to the North.

From Minnesota Iam standing with you Canada!! Trump does things impulsively Prayers, are needed.

I’m appalled!!!!! turn off the electricity in Wisconsin!!! and wherever else you got it!!!!! I stand with Canada

this idiot needs to go.... Canada is gonna suffer a lot due to the tariff.... their jobs will be in trouble.

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine
