Michigander and US Citizen since BIRTH. Canada is our best ally, what the actual F? We support your decision Canada!!! I've never been more embarrassed to be an American.

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

Go Canada. From a US citizen. We have to work together to stop a wannabe dictator.

Clearly he cares more about the US Citizens than Trump does. Make that make sense.

I just think Trump is trying to isolate and destabilize the US so much that people rebel. Then he can declare a state of emergency and deploy the military and then he and his billionaire friends have full power in their perfect dictatorship. Take care of your freedom and democracy citizens of the US

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

What about saying that Trump is the best Sino-Russian asset in the US ? 'cause that is what he is, currently... jeopardizing generationnal friendship and alliance partnership for a despicable inner self.\nAs a French citizen, I stand with you and your people, Sir Trudeau. And I'll always stand with Canada. *You don't boot a cousin out.*

Just one US Citizen apologizing to all of Canada.?. I am sorry this has happened and I apologize for my fellow citizens that voted for this administration.

Watch out Canada, there's going to be a lot of US citizens looking to move north. The real best country on earth.

Jan 2025\n\n1. Schedule F grants Trump power to replace federal employess with loyalists.\n2. Musk does Nazi salute at inaguration.\n3. Bill proposed to allow Trump a 3rd term but not Obama.\n4. General Inspector Watch Dogs all fired from White House. [No one to monitor coruption]\n5. Musk continues to fund and speaks at ADF rally.\n\nFeb 2025\n\n1. Trump states Ukraine started war with Russia.\n2. 21 Doge employees resign refusing to dismantal gov as directed n put citizen data at risk.\n3. EU chief declares US is no longer leader of the free world.\n\nMar 2025\n\n1. Trump pauses military aide for ukraine.

50.2% of US voters chose Kamala Harris. Unfortunately the delegates went to the orange clown. As an Amercan citizen I'm ashamed and disgusted. We can only hope that moderate Republicans will man up and work with Democrats to stop this insanity.

As an American citizen I admire ur honest with ur people, I hope this damn Donald who I voted for not hurt us??

Trump has sold America to Russia. America wake up and Do The Right Thing...Revolt against Trump. We will die under his leadership...Trump got of jail and unleashing his wrath on US citizens. Well done Canada..Well done ❤

Thank you, Canada! As an American, I am appalled at the hellmouth this administration that I did not vote for has dragged my country into. Nothing I see suggests to me that the people we've entrusted with enforcing our laws and our constitution will come through for us against this coup that has broken with democracy and simple decency. So you do whatever you have to do to protect the interests of your own citizens, and I will have to hope that ultimately it will help topple these monsters who have taken this country hostage.

Wowwww… Now that’s a real azz President… As a American citizen just watching this… I see families looking for visas to Canada now … Way to go Yellow Man U are fcking us day by day …

The US did not do this. Trump did this. Trump is not the US. The US does not condone the idiotic actions of Trump. We, the unscammed US citizens would like to see Trump gone, whether by having him deported, or by any means necessary. We, true Americans stand with Canada and Mexico.

My apologies as an American citizen. Please understand half of us do NOT agree AT ALL with this absolute lunatic. I did NOT vote for him, and I'm more disappointed as the days go on.

Yes!!! I'm a US citizen and so proud of Canada!!

As a US citizen from GUAM, this guy thinks we need him, I have nothing made in Canada at my house. He makes no sense but sounds like a democrat

I'm so embarrassed to be a US citizen right now ?

And US citizens just stay and watch how the russian puppet is doing Putin’s work right in the middle of white house…

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

The citizens of the US did not vote for Bone spurs because of his intelligence.

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

I'm really sorry for the US citizens to have now their worst president ever, and to be friend with (just imagine..) PUTIN !!\nStanding with Canada and Ukraine!

As an American, thank you for acknowledging those of us who understand with respect to Canada that they must do what they have to do to protect their own citizens. Prayers for ALL lives under the heavens. ??

Canada, you do not have to explain anything! You are dealing with a fascist, racist, misogynistic, corrupt, narcissistic, diabolical dictator, who wants to destroy US alliances and then united us with the access of evil. US citizens know you all are our allies and that you all are wonderful and we support you. We are not at all in agreement with this so-called president we have. You don't even have to explain. We're just waiting and hoping for this utter madness and destruction to stopso we can all be aligned again.

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

Maybe the US should try to figure out why so many of its citizens are using fentanyl and other hard drugs. They're blaming other countries instead of addressing the actual issue of addiction and the market for those drugs. Maybe stop buying the stuff and there wouldn't be a market for it...

dont we wish trump had the knowledge to speak as well as he dones n also his telling us are government n trump does not really give an f about its citizens

This is due to a number of US citizens having been duped into voting for a president whose interests absolutely do NOT lie in the US!

As a french citizen, congrats... we ll have the same implication. US administration is a shame.

As a canadian citizen, our prime minister has a good look & speaks well. But that's all. A lot of us are suffering up here. Everything is expensive. No jobs. More tax. More regulations. Our health care system is free, but it is impossible to see any doctors. Mega drug problem. Anyone thinks Justin T is a great leader. Please take him.

Please don't confuse Trump with the majority of US citizens who do not agree with any of his actions. We don't want this either.?

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

US citizen here. Love you Canada. Don’t hate the people, we don’t want this either

not all US citizens, just trump and his minions sheep and lambs...we encourage you to stay strong, trump will be removed by force in due time

Hope the US nation will stand up and protest against this orange clown that's slowly turning the biggest and mightiest nation of the Free World into a racist olicharchy and destroying freedom, healthcare and affordibility for your average US citizen from within. This will not become better. This will only get worse to the point it's irreversibel.

❤ understood and appreciate Canadian honesty. \n\nTrump wants us to suffer. I wish there was a way for citizens to bring Trump up on charges of crimes against humanity.

US citizen here. I support Canada’s decisions completely and agree with their PM. I condemn Trump and his actions, and his entire administration.

What a prick. Acting like putin is a criminal and dupporting that teprobate killer zelensky. Outrageous. And outrageous trying to pretend the US is evil. Go ahead canada, kiss his butt. The US will dirvive better than canada. And hes trying to subvert the US citizen. But he doesnt want to do crap about the border. His own nayives suffer kidnaping for himan trafficking constantly. \nTrudeau is a woke lefty and a little tyrant. We arent hust talking fentanyl here castro jr.

Thank you for helping Ukraine. I am a US citizen and thankful that Ukraine has you to help them.

US citizen dont know about JT he wery arrogant and dictator he redy devastate country , the toff be whot he did for 8 years !!!!!

As a Canadian I’m still not clear on how counter tariffs help Canadians? Won’t this just make things more expensive for us? Shouldn’t we just realign our allies for imports/exports? Can someone help me out here? Don’t tell me it’s just because we need to respond in kind so not to be ‘bullied’. You’ll need to do better than that. Seems like only governments win in tariff wars - not their citizens.

As a US citizen who didn't vote for the president (Trump) we have who is corrupt, self- serving and would have gone to prison if he had not been voted as president. I too am appalled at what he and his minions have done already. \nI understand what Canada has to do to protect itself. I support Canada.I feel for the Canadian people. Trump is a scourge to our country. Prime Minister Trudeau is too kind to Trump of being smart. He is not smart. He is hurting the American people in so many ways and he does not care. \nThank-you Prime Minister Trudeau and God bless the Canadian people and God bless the American people that didn't vote for Trump .

I’ve been more afraid of being an American Citizen than I’ve ever thought conceivable. But more so I’m ashamed, ashamed that my fellow citizens voted in that monstrosity and his bottom feeder cabinet members and ‘friends’. Ashamed that the rest of us didn’t apparently work hard enough to keep him out.

During the Second World War Canada punched way above its weight in supporting it Allies and defeating Hitler and the scourge of fascism. It’s not a country or a people I’d want to take on lightly but as Prime Minister Trudeau highlights this is going to hurt US citizens as much as Canadian.

To all Canadians, coming from a US citizen, I'm sorry that we have a moron as the president. Morons elected a moron and now you and us have to endure the consequences. The sad part is morons won't learn a damn thing, because they are morons so I'm very doubtful about the future of US.

USA is not a trustworthy partner anymore. USA prefers Russia ans Israel, spits on Ukraine, Mexico and on my canadian face, EU to come. Calling our Prime Minister a Governor is such a disrespectful behavior. US citizens voted for this, Bravo gang de caves

As a US citizen, I appreciate my Canadian friends and neighbors!! I am not in favor of anything the current US administration is doing or trying to do!!
