As a Sikh, born and raised in the US, this is an opinion I've had since this KHALISTAN stuff began. We go to Canada if we miss India, because it's basically become MINI PUNJAB LOL. Another note. The Khalistan topic is all nonsense. I don't know why SO MANY CANADIAN BORN and AMERICAN BORN SIKHS support or push for this. IF YOU PLAN TO MOVE BACK TO KHALISTAN, for sure support it. Don't push an issue you would not commit to. Plus, no foreign born would comfortably move to KHALISTAN, if it existed, due to the lack of opportunities. My parents left India for the lack of opportunities (legally). They knew Punjab has no future, since the Indian nation shrunk it's state borders, and we become a LAND LOCKED state. If this LAND LOCKED COUNTRY were to be established, everything would be ridiculously expensive, and Khalistan would be lucky to become as "successful" as EXPENSIVE Switzerland. It's illogical to support Khalistan on an economic standpoint.

As an American I am afraid of my government. Our future is bleak and uncertain. I can not do anything due to me being 1 person. I am 1 voice, but no one wants to protest, instead people want to sit and accept it. I do not want this, and I struggle because of the political BS because people are stupid. I do not have the money to relocate my family or I would. This has become a sad and dark part of US history.\nThese tariffs were a result of Ukraine and Trump having an ego trip. Nothing less.\nI will always support my fellow Americans, but there's only so much I will support. I will always support Ukraine Canada and Mexico.

As an American, I fully support whatever you need to do Canada, I know it's not your fault you're in this position, I know it's our own country to blame. I didn't vote for the felon, and I think it's terrible that a narcissistic sexual abusive multi convicted felon was even allowed to become president, I'm disappointed in my country.

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

As an American citizen and lifelong military brat I am ashamed of what the US has become in just 6 weeks. Prime Minister and Canada I am sorry our disaster of a government is effecting you in this way. I stand in support of all of our allies. ?

I, an American living abroad will not be traveling to the US for the next 4 years. Instead, I will take my all my trips to Canada and support their economy with my tourist dollars. I will buy Canadian made products as much as I can when I shop in my stores in Europe.

As an American, I am ashamed and appalled. Please, Canada, please, know that many stand with you and support boycotts of the US.

I think as an American that likes Canada to a certain point agro tourist spots there a little too isolated with there tiny bridges to get in and there pathetic security at there borders so maple syrup will be more expensive it just means the rest of the states that produce syrup will profit more we as Americans can do without the business of canada but Canada cant go without American support can survive with out Niagara Falls nope

I am an American, and I support and stand by Canada. Do not back down. We can make the sacrifice for as long as it takes to right the wrongs.

As an American, I do not support these tariffs.

As an American I support the president I voted for

Mr prime minister sir, as an American I do not support any of this. Both of our countries will suffer.

I am so proud of Canada and the Prime Minister. As an American, and respect and support this professional and empathic acknowledgement to this hideous tariff war. Americans are watching a mature leader, addressing several nations. The Heritage foundation is reckless and feeding Dfrump.

As an American, I am ashamed of our president. I apologize to the Canadian people and want them to know that the vast majority of Americans do not support what our president is doing. We will do what we can to stop him, and I hope when this insanity is over, you can forgive us and we can restore our relationship. We know that because of Donald Trump's stupid actions, we will have a lot of work to do in restoring your trust in us. Again, I apologize.

As an American, I support Canada and Ukraine... I will never support Trump, he's a convicted felon and traitor of the United States and everything we stand for

As an American,I support Canada's decision to stand against tyranny.

As an American, bring it Canada and I support you. That orange orangutan sitting in the White House needs to feel it.

As an American, I stand with you Canada. Not all Americans support dictatorship! We HATE what’s happening and are so ashamed of our fellow Americans. The magas. Shame on all of them.

As an American I'm so ashamed and embarrassed. Please know this person does not support this. I think something hinky happened with this election because the country I have grown up in does not condone this. I don't know how to stop this, I don't know what is going to happen and I'm scared. This isn't the America I know and I know I'm not alone in this. Please know this isn't the people.

As an American, I wholeheartedly support Canada. This is what a mature, intelligent LEADER looks like.?? ❤

As an American, I DONT SUPPORT OUR president!! I never have! My grandfather, makes me proud of my Canadian heritage and i support YOU doing anything you need to for your country! He is isolating us from our allies and i need to appologize for his arrogant and bad behaviour! I love your country and my own, but i DONT support my government right now!!!

Trump is a CLOWN ? and Putin LOVER! As an American I support Canada and I support Ukraine !??

As an American, I support Canada!

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

As an American I support you Canada, Captain Chaos is a Putin loving narcissist that probably cheated to win election, and did not win popular vote, only electral vote at best. Only 1/2 Americans voted and less than 1/2 of them voted for the felon. He is working on changing America to a dictator led government. I pray Americans will be able to unite and stop this stupidity!

As an American, I want our Canadian neighbors to know that MANY Americans agree with and support Canada ?. Our President is an embarrassment to the whole world.

As an American I support Canada, even though we will suffer, I can’t support what the Mad KIng is doing.

As an American I don't support this at all we can't afford things as it is this only hurts everyone more

As eloquent and dignified Mr. Trudeau is here, and how rational his response is, it's wasted breath. You can't reason with an entitled child. We tried to reason with the children that were voting for him and it fell on deaf ears. He's no different. They know it all, all while knowing absolutely nothing. There's no changing their minds. I hope with all of my being that this hits those who support him the hardest and brings them significant financial pain. Elections have consequences and their vote needs consequences too. \n\nIn my 56 years, I've never been embarrassed to be an American. Thanks Donald, I now am. You did that.

As an american (lower case on purpose), I TOTALLY SUPPORT CANADA!

As an American and as a Republican I fully support Canada and Ukraine in this matter.

As an American I can say we don’t support the idiocy that is Trump’s tariffs. Those who voted for him are about to learn what tariffs are. The rest of us already knew, but were outvoted by idiots.

Thank you Canada, Thank you TRUTH. This is the transparency we have heard about in America and have yet to have seen. As an American, I support you. I am prepared and in Minnesota we HEAR you. We approve of your message. Godspeed!

Thank you Trudeau! As an American, I support you and am so embarrassed and appalled by my own country.

Speaking as an American. A REAL American who stands by our Constitution and the laws of our land and not with a TRAITOR. We do NOT want this. I have always been clueless to how Americans can hear what this traitor says and support it. It reminds me of the movie Shalow Hal. The woman was fat and unattractive but the guy saw this slim beautiful model. This is American right now. We have this Fat Traitor and some Americans see this STRONG Man who is going to make their lives wonderful by hurting all the black and brown people. Right out of the gate he’s telling them all he’s here to hurt and harm every American, but will still hurt and harm black and brown people the most. Many of them will be removed from earth in the largest earth removal since the mid 1930’s. This will end badly for him and all who supports him. The sad result will be the total destruction of our country and if you listened to him. He kept telling you that.

As an American, I support your decision. This government of ours is a government of bullies and traitors.

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

I as an American 100% support Canada this is ridiculous, I’m not sure why he would do this to our closest ally.

Great speak Trudeau and I as an American support Canada not the Putin loving, disgraceful Trump.

Im embarrassed as an American that this is happening. I support ??

As an American i support Canada, do what you need to do for your country and people. Trump is the worst president of my lifetime and thats saying a lot.

As an american i support Canada,Tump is Putins puppet. i regret voting for trump.

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.

As an American, I am sorry. I fully support any action you must take against our current government. Please remember it is less than 30% of our country that is MAGA. Most of us support you. Thank you for such an eloquent and measured address.

As an American I say support Canada, take a vacation to Canada, it is a beautiful place especially in the spring. As the grass sprouts threw the snow, stunning wildlife are on the move in the moutains. Visit Canada with the kids.

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either

Canada must not be cooperating. If they were Trump would not have imposed the tariffs. As an American I support our President. I’ve researched imports from Canada and I don’t buy any of them.

As an American I fully support Trudeau and Canada. As far as I'm concerned Canada should raise tariffs against the USA for EVERYTHING starting at 100%. The USA under Trump is now Canada's enemy, just as it is the enemy of Ukraine, Europe and the entire rest of the non-fascist world.

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.
