So much ego and greed…no compassion or moral sense! Lord help us all ??

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

Wow - That reason that was quoted was never shared with us down here... It was always explained as a way to help our economy... Which everyone down here with a brain knew was a outright lie.... But that was what the fool kept repeating to all of us. Never once was it made or stated as a serious reason, fentanol... That was the Mexico excuse...

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

A very impressive and powerful delivery. \nOh, how we need God to help us!

From America, thank you. If it takes breaking us to help our democracy survive, please continue to hold strong. I both thank you and applaud you.

This is insane! America stands with our allies. ALWAYS. I cannot believe this crap is happening! TRUMP NEEDS TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE! Americans do not want this and do not agree with this dame PRESIDENT! GOD HELP US!

Don't tell me your admitting to creating a surveillance state along the candadian us border. Dumbass. Help out with the whole Mexican thing if you really want fentanyl off the earth

Canada is in this mess because of Trudeau. It sure as hell is not Trump. Trump is just playing hardball. What did all you idiot, left wing morons think was going to happen? Trudeau is a narcissist and is not helping this Country. He is increasing the damage that will be inflicted upon us. If you don't see that it is a strong statement on how drastically the education system has failed in the 2 countries.

The gaslighting the world is displaying is unbelievable. The moment America starts to look out for itself, like a toxic partner or lover, the world is responding by making us look like the problem. Not the people who have taken advantage of us. We have been the world's savior for 100 years, where is the gratitude? We aren't just going to shutter our doors to the world, we are rebuilding our country from the last corrupt administration. We love our allies, we just want to help our American people first for a change! Your countries all look out for yourselves, we are doing the same for a while. We aren't your enemies, don't treat us as such just for taking care of ourselves.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

European here. Let’s trade, let’s help Ukraine defend itself, and let’s cut out the toxic US.

We need to ask if there is some kind of explanation for Trump to be doing everything possible to help Russia and damage the US! This is a very grave situation!

I’m convinced Trump wants to kill the US. He’s doing everything possible to help Russia at the expense of America. Is it because Putin is blackmailing Trump, is it because Trump is a Russian mole, is it because he ?is being paid by Putin? Who knows? But unless he is impeached, and impeached soon, American may never recover.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Trudeau \nwill you help stop ilegal traffic in to the US? may be too late...\nThe US will start manufacturing \nimprove agriculture and hopefully enforce the law, jus get with the program, no woke folks welcome....

It seems like Trump is trying to destroy the US for Putin \nCanada many Citizens in the EU stand with you and boycott American goods! There is even an Danish APP made that helps NOT to choose goods from America, when we shop in EU. \nThe only thing Trump understands is the power of money

God help us Americans who are stuck with this horrible president. I'm with our allies. No Trump and no Putin. OMGOSH, we are in deep trouble here in the US.

Ah. Save us somehow. I want to help my own people, but also just escape this nightmare.

As American, We can’t help neighbors who don’t want to help us stop murdering our citizens with drugs. America shall stay strong and have victory because they doing what’s right and fair. God bless America and president Trump.

FROM ANOTHER AMERICAN: Dear Canada, \nShut us down. \nShut down the crude oil. \nShut down the natural gas. \nShut down the electricity. \nAnd tear that starlink contract up like confetti. I will donate a disco ball and help you toss all the little pieces in the air. ? \nShut. Him. Down. \nSincerely, \nAn American who wants to get this shit over with so we can go back to being best friends again. ?

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

Thank you liberal party for helping us stand up against the US

I am canadian, and I hate being the laughing stock of the world, I hope Trump bankrupts canada and we all can be Americans!! You cannot eat pride, and turdeaus idea of helping the people is taking the tax off of booze for a couple months to sedate us,,,

GOD BLESS CANADA, LONG LIVE CANADA. I am a student immigrant who had a choice between US and Canada. I chose Canada, and I have never regretted my choice. The people might not know this but Canada is an amazing country. People have no idea how Canadians have built a fantastic country in some of the toughest conditions. Canadians are some of the most polite, helpful and kind people.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

Putin economy is collapsing, US Trump want to bring down all who help Ukraine.

Help us from this orange tyrant?

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

How is imposing a 25% tariff helping the canadian people exactly? Except making us pay even more in an already hard inflation context. \nYour own ego is blinding you, Trudeau.

To the world- please help us!!!\nAn American citizen

It took “two” evil greedy men to bring about destruction, only God can help us, people need to earnestly pray not just now but always.

It took “two” evil greedy men to bring about destruction, only God can help us, people need to earnestly pray not just now but always.

Can you Canadians maybe ask your King to have his other countries put tariffs on us down here in the US? What's the point of having one if you don't ask him for a little help when bad guys come after you. My country needs to learn a lesson and the faster it happens, the less pain there is for everyone.

Its so sad?? God help us a mad man is hurting all of the World pray everyone pray hard for Gods intervention....we love Canadian neighbors ...true Christians never act lime this never?????

Que pouvons-nous faire pour aider, nous les aînés ? Nous ne pouvons travailler 40 heures/semaine, mais nous sommes encore capables d'aider notre pays. What can we do, us elderly people to help? We can't work 40 hours/week but we can still help our country.

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

Make that make sense!!! Help us lord ?

God help us. I have never seen anything so terrible in my 76 years from any US President. I stand with Canada, UK, Ukraine, and Europe and all our NATO allies that we used to have as friends.

Canada, please HELP us get him out!!!

WOW! A real leader, actually leading his country with its best interest in mind! I am so ashamed to be an American right now. Can someone please save us!!!! HELP!!!!!

I am an American living in the deep blue Northeast US and I stand with you, Mr. Trudeau! Feel free to annex us if you want. I'll help!

Thank you Canada for being our Ally and friend. We are devastated how our allies are getting treated by our oligarchy administration. Lord help us.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !????????

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

Mr. Prime Minister. The people of the United States love Canada we would do anything to help stop this. You are our closest✌️ friend and ally for years and years please don’t hold it against us because we have an idiot in the White House. God bless.

All of this is so unfortunate. God Help us all. Stand for Canada and Peace.
