We in Minnesota would not be upset if you cut off electricity to minnesota. We would actually encourage you to cut it off in action against our dictator. People need to see it happen. Love you Canada!

Stand strong Canada ??, support here from the UK ??. I have never been to your country, but there will be ? support for you over here, from everybody. Trump really is behaving like a complete and utter pratt.

From us in Britain. I think ever since Trump back in power he cause massive divid between american and their allies. Maybe Trump is the enemy now possible bigger threat than Russia and China. Canada your always welcome in Britain.

From a Christian-Native American Veteran - kudos to Canada ?

Ashamed American here. Please Canada, please don't forget that at least half of us Americans hate this stunning crap every bit as much as you do. We support you, Canada ...not Trump and his cohorts.

Well done canada!

Way to go Canada, I'm American and and ashamed of our felon wanna be dictator that had put us in this position.

How is this imposter dictator still speaking for Canada??

This makes me want to go spend my American dollars in Canada.

We stand with Canada!

Respect to Canada from Switzerland. Trump will go down as the president who destroyed America.

As a Trump supporter, I am\nAgainst the 25% tariff on Canada because just what you’re hearing. Canada is a close and loyal ally to the U.S. we shouldn’t punish them and tarnish our relationship. We should grow and prosper together. yes I did support Trump but I didn’t support this.

Trade war ???? Canada

Rump used Fentanyl as an excuse. Canada was no threat to U.S.

I’m an American standing with Canada.

Sorry Canada, we Americans really had no choices in the last election and most of us stayed home. Democrats were offering nothing and Republicans were offering a rehash of 2016. The rest is history. ?

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

Many of us Americans stand with Canada.

tRUMP - The Orange Idiot is going to destroy America but as it is sinking MAGA Cultists will scream how their glorious leader is working for them when in actual fact he is ONLY interested in lining the pockets of his billionaire friends. Go for it Canada?

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

Trudeau is right... Trump should be working with Canada... Trump should be working alongside Canada.... And Trump MUST make Canada the 51st state, to ensure this companionship. Together we shall be one!

Why he didn't show that kind of leadership before, maybe he would be PM of Canada.

Did Canada just threaten to hurt me?

I’m sorry Canada ? ashamed to be called an American these days.

American here who has spent 57 years visiting and loving Canada. HELP US get rid of the monsters in the White House. Thank you Canadian friends.

God going to be with Canada

Canada, Take the gloves off. Go with SANCTIONS. Show the deranged the meaning symbiosis.

I remember when as a child we would travel to Canada. We did not need a passport. I'm shame that Idiots are in charge of this BS!

JT is usually the one screwing over Canada. Must be weird for him to talk about someone else doing it.

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

Like Wolf said. I too, grew up with Canada almost in walking distance. Mom and dad both Canadian born. Canada was and still is a beacon of kindness, sensibility, beauty, music(!!!!) The list goes on. Persevere neighbors. Please I will pay extra for your stuff.

Canada Europe is ready to work closer with you!

From the uk…. Well said Trudeau. Big love to Canada. Hope Donald understands your long words.

Thanks for your help against putin Canada❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As an American, I always thought Justin was a respectable guy. At this point with republicans being pussies, I’d rather Canada just buy America.

Sorry, is this a BRIT talking about Canada's problems?! Lordy me, you have decades worth of The Disintegration of British Economics and Society material to keep you focused and busy. ?

Human values, respect, intelligence... that's what you learn from youth in Canada... Congratulations to Trudeau and to all Canadians

American Republican here, keep standing strong, Canada! Thank you!

You cant argue with a well thought out, sensible, and honest message. Bravo Canada! I speak for the vast Majority of Americans when I say that we value your friendship and look forward to a healthy and prosperous relationship moving forward.

Canada would be in a better place If he only spoke this clearly and stood up with a back bone years ago, not months before leaving office! smh

Canada needs America.

Americans do NOT stand with the “h*tler wannabe” Canada thank you for handling this with grace. We are going to struggle, we are going to suffer, please help us.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Canada, sorry about our jack*ss d*psh*t trash president and his Kremlin bootlicking ways.

Keep standing proud, Canada, and Ukraine. Most Americans definitely understand that this is unnecessary and not what we as a nation stand for. Don't be bullied, or shamed into any deal with this administration. It's full of greed and absolutely untrustworthy. Please don't blame us all. I'm a metro Detroit resident. Canada is my neighbor and friend.

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

Sadly I’m an American democrat that actually feels relieved that Canada is there. I feel like they are the grownups watching us learn from our bad choices. Thank you Canada.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

Justin does not have the support of his own party. They have no confidence in him and he cannot bring economic benefit to Canada other depending on US
