As a Canadian, I can assure you CNN and all Americans, Canada will not back down. Remember this pain your country will feel is not what Canadians want, but our response to your President’s stupidity and apparent new support for our mutual enemy Russia. Get you country back. You are sliding into fascism and authoritarianism. We hope you right your ship.

With Trump as my president. I'm proud to be an American. I don't care if things go up because in the long run it's for the good of the country......OUR COUNTRY!

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

He's not my president! I'm American and with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine ?

As an American, I apologize for our President's stupidity. We didn't want this.

Dont you all realize that what we are doign is equalling the percentage as they do to us , yes everyone has there opinions but the fact that we as a country goes and helps other countries but when we have a president that really cares, and bet none of you do your studys on these issues, see you all go day by day with out a clue on whats going on , its ok for other countries to take advantage of us and hurt us but its ok right its ok for countrys to hurt us as thte same for democratic leftys its ok to hurt us, i say hell no its not ok , for once in are life we need to help the Americans period , grow up people seriously grow up , trump is doing what should have been done a long time ago , biden did to much damage to much

Ia m American and saddened b Trumps action.He needs tobe imoeach and kicked out of office. Amwricans lets be the frist time in history and we got the reasons to remove a president.

Trudeau speaks the Truth. This American stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. The current U.S. President and his administration has betrayed the American People, our Friends and our Allies.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

I apologize on behalf of Americans who still believe in honor and love of country. Our unfit president does not belong in the White House. He belongs in the Big House.

Canada, this is not us. I am so glad you distinguish the American people from this president.

What American media will allow a foreign president to address the American people. This is crazy stuff. Would they allow Valdemar Putin, Kim Jong Un, or The Chinese Communist Party to Address the American people? The wouldn't even allow the British Prime Minister to talk directly to the American people. This shows that CNN is willing to do anything to discredit Trump's policies.

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

Feeling sorry for American people with a KGB agent for President

History will never forget when the American people elected a fachist president and abandoned good/the free world. Shame on the American people! Learn from 1930s Germany - you’re heading in that exact direction!

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

Perhaps America's president should look at the programs Canada implements and make American a great place to live again, and the American people would not be enticed to take Fentanyl to get through the miserable lives some have to deal with on a daily basis!

I agree with President Trudeau 100% I call that TIT for TAT! we Americans are going to suffer because of Trump's nonsensical policies.

Excellent for Canada! Many Americans do not support the orange felon at all. He is a russian asset and has been since the early 80's. He is a liar and a con man. Thanks to PM Trudeau for standing strong against the horrible actions of our so called President. We are ashamed and so sorry.

Bravo President Trudeau! We Americans are screwed! Trump doesn't have it in him to admit he has BAD ideas or is wrong. Canada we Americans wish our President spoke the way yours did today. Please pray for the United States. We are facing the enemy within.

AMERICANS WISH THEY HAD A PRESIDENT LIKE THIS

I am an American, but this president does not represent who we are!!! Trump is an absolutely disgrace

Why Americans choose drugy old man as president ?

As an American, the president doesn't not reflect. We love you!

President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

I am a sad American from Texas. I am ashamed and regretful about what our President is doing.

Americans will pay globally for their clown president. Vote for trash, you get trash to clean up.

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

Americans stay united. There will be short term pain for long term growth for Americans. Canada tax us more than we tax them and now we are taxing them the same they are crying. Most Americans stands with President Trump.

American do want this and is willing to pay more to see that bussiness es come to the USA. But most important Americans want Trudo to go. I am willing to bet she. Pierre becomes President things will change for all. You Trudo have committed treason to your own people to the truckers. Forced your citizen l to jab vaccines. Force taxes for green climat change. Don’t you see we don’t want you !

All American ?? states to Canada ?? and Trudeau will be the president ?

I am American and i disavow are evil leadership. Trump is a dark thing to happen to this country. I stand with Canada and Trudeau. These are dark times. Maga is very popular here and I think vance could be the next president for 8 years. Maga is evil and must be defeated.

It’s bad enough that we have worthless President Trump we also have a worthless Vice President and a worthless Congress that is allowing this President destroy America and the American citizens

American here. To Canada and Mexico: do your thing. Our sorry excuse for a president is doing this for NO reason other than he's a complete spoiled CHILD. I stand with our neighbors to the north and south!!!?❤? ??❤

As a resident of Michigan I support Canada 100 Percent. Trump is a Traitor!!! Punish all of US to wake up the 49 percent of Americans who voted for the Orange Traitor and his Vice President Muskmellon!!!!

As an American I am ashamed of the actions of our president Mr.SprayTan. Please understand this is NOT what a lot of Americans wanted. It is the wants of bigots, racists, narcissists and dictators that made this happen..I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe.

I feel you Trudeau make it make sense because none of this makes sense. Because a felon being president makes no sense. Someone in government not standing up to him makes no sense. I’m disgusted in being an American.

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

???Kudos and well done Great Justin Trudeau✊ for Educating the dum dummer so called American Garbage President. Donald Trump is too Gramps and Stupid in the Brain ? to be a Leader of any Nation or President of any Nation. Is a Shame that those Americans that fall for all his lies and Propaganda to get him elected are bunch of BOZOS, because they are the one to face the dyer consequences.

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.

Canadian is a strong country and Americans vote a president that’s a Dump and selfish one.

So a few gullible, misguided citizens voted for a President who claimed he could make life more affordable. Look at this UTTER MADNESS caused by an evil, greedy, horrendous excuse of a human being WHO TOLD YOU WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO WITH PROJECT 2025!!! How dumb are Americans???

President trump is right, black American not welcome in Canada. I support my President 100 %

Canada has removed American products off our shelves,.. \n\nYour president did this to you,.. we did not ask for this,.. but you Poked the Sleeping Bear,..\n\nEnjoy you high grocery prices,..

The most disastrous first month of any presidency in American history. A total catastrophe.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune reacted to the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by saying “nothing happens in a vacuum” and he expects there will be “reactions” to President Donald Trump’s move. \n \nMeanwhile, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso refused to answer on whether he thought the tariffs would hurt American consumers. He said people should not be surprised by Trump’s decisions because he ran on them.

As a Canadian it looks good on USA yOUR PRESIDENT HAS THREATENED US OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND DISRESPECTED OUR PM. IF ONLY WE CAN STOP AMERICANS FROM COMING HERE... WERE SO DONE WITH TRUMPS BS... YOUR DESTROYING YOUR OWN COUNTRY

I’m writing a novel series where there’s a different president in office in 2009-2013, and during this time the crisis in Canada leads to them joining with the UK and other Anglo nations to create a new British empire under the rule of King Charles, and the American president is then forced into a conflict with this new geopolitical foe, and it’s all for personal reasons.

I am sick of seeing this reporter! She is not a American. We voted...and she does not get it! If you put down our President.......your not wanted!
