As an American, who didnt vote for Trump, I am proud of Canada standing up. We did this to ourselves.

Canada just gave us a talking too.

God bless Canada. As an American, I am ashamed.

Trudeau sucks! Canada sucks! They're like a pesticide to America that has fed of us!!

1% of fentanyl is CAUGHT at the Canada border… Canada DOESNT inspect shipping containers from China

We find no fault in you Canada. We have a commie in the W.H.

FACT IS that Canada turned this into a trade war!!! I say this as a Canadian. It didn't have to be this way. Canada died 10 years ago. Annex away Mr. Trump.

As a 72 year old American veteran that doesn’t want to bare the pain of a trade war…\nBut I stand with Canada.\nDon’t back down from tRump!\nSAVA CANADA❣️

Go get in the ring with him Trump, and see what happens. Trudeau is not afraid of Bullies, unlike the sycophants in your party. Don't kiss his ring, Canada. Je me souviens.

We stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe! Not russia

Time to move to Thailand world class nature, food, and healthcare ALL affordable! Canada and USA will soon be 3rd world from this needless destruction of our economies…

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

We simply don’t need anything Canada has.

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

To my mind, Trump would have started the trade war with Canada no matter what measures Canada undertakes. My guess is the underlying motive behind the whole theatre is to somehow pressurize Canada into complete submission. Remember his comments about Canada should become the 51st state? I presume that in reality his eyes are set on Canada‘s vast resources and the potential north-west passage which would be a fantastic gift to his master Putin.

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

I can’t in good faith say I side with Canada as a lifelong red blooded American. HOWEVER, I will say I envy Canadians having such a logical clearly spoken leader.

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

Give Canada what they want! They may seem nice but a darkness lurks underneath!

There ARE winners in a trade war. Many Americans want literally nothing to do with Canada after the booing of our national anthem. Not our President, but our anthem. Some will never forgive. We will endure without Canada, say hi to Xi for us.

They should also stop spending their money on the border and make it Canada first

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Fact check. More fentanyl enters Canada from the USA than the other way around. So maybe the USA needs to work harder at stopping it, not Canada. But then Musk is firing everyone who would do that.

Poland ?? here as well. It absolutely does not make sense for the US to impose those tariffs. Europe is supporting you Canada!

Bravo Canada you are great I am keeping my fingers crossed and supporting you very much

As an American I 100% support you Canada, Ukraine and the rest of our allies. I did not vote for our convict and cheat in DC. I also refuse to call Donald a president.

Canada already charges tariffs on US products, Trump is just leveling the playing field, you charge we charge, you don't buy our products, we don't buy your products.

Is there a “Gold” immigration card for Americans to become Canadian??? Oh Canada, we admire and respect you and your leaders. We apologize for our spineless wonders.

I am an American, I stand with Canada ??!!!!

A N OLD ALLY......CANADA....A FRIEND TO THE END....GOD BLESS❤❤❤

Love to Canada ?? respect ?

This coming from the guy that froze the truckers bank accounts and has acted like a dictator for years. All you had to do Canada is secure your border and pay your fair share into NATO. You didn’t……

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

Canadian here. I love my American friends. And I love Canada. I will be only buying and supporting Canadian. I wish you all well\n\n?? \n\nGood luck out there pals

The UK and Europe stands with Canada ?? + ?? + ?? + ?? = ?

As a Englishman, good on you Canada

I agree Never been to Canada but Canada are nice and polite 100% agree

Canada,s arrogance towards USA needs to be seriously dealt with?? they crossed every line

Canada a dumpster fire with this guy at the helm lol cry harder

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

Sad to see a statesman like Trudeau having to appease a spoilt narcissistic thug - but overall a great response by Canada

I would like to know why America can't protect its own borders. Mexico and Canada protect their own. We all know its not about that at all. Its about a mentally ill dementia patient who should have been hospitalized. His mind is all over the place. Please put him where he belongs.

Trudeau is the biggest slime with low IQ. Trudeau is so good for Canada that he will be voted out so quickly and for good reasons.

Liar, liar, liar...IF YOU ARE OUR FRIEND, CLOSE THE BORDER, STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FROM CANADA TO AMERICA, AND STOP THE TRAFFIC OF FENTANYL FROM CANADA TO AMERICA. YOU ARE NOT ACTING AS OUR FRIEND.

Well said from a New Zealander! I support Canada ?? ❤️.

Well said Canada!!

Canada is my home. I was born here. Canada will pull together. We will survive this and we will make other trade partners as we go on. The world pretty much stands with us and I thank all of you who are doing all you can to stand behind Canada.\nI don't care which country you come from. If you stand with Canada and are a friend of Canada then you are a friend of mine.\nAn enemy of my enemy is my friend. May God bless you all.

????????????????✌️STAND WITH ?? CANADA ?? FROM ENGLAND ????????????

Canadas the reason we have so many rules of combat in the Geneva convention
