As an American, I do not at all blame Canada’s response to trump’s irresponsible and embarrassing behavior. I know this will affect me, but I side with Canada completely. I just hope these next 4 years pass quickly and we can get a more reasonable administration into power.

In a few months from now, if these tariffs still exist and we will all be suffering, trump will try and blame canada, saying its our fault the tariffs are in place. Please remember that trump started it, not us!!

Trump sucks and he is making America HATED, HATED, AND HATED!!! FROM MAINE I STAND WITH YOU CANADA????? Trump is buddies with Russia and China and cares zippo for the people ohh except for the rich who buys his golden bibles and her golden toys, yuppers I now know what true HATE IS ABOUT ???

I’m so sorry Canada! ?? We love you! Trump sucks and JD Vance ?‍???????

?Thanks our PM Justin Trudeau ?? One of the greatest leaders in the world? Let's stand for Canada and EU together and stronger than ever! ?? ?? ?????♥️?

I am a US citizen and I stand with Canada and Ukraine. It is so validating to listen to someone who speaks the truth, a privilege we don't have in the USA. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada = America light

Wow, Canada has supported the u.s and stood by the u.s. trade helps both countries and its people I can barely afford, let alone now paying more

Trump acted on false information and fought with South African. As South African, I stand with Canada.

I Stand with Ukraine Canada Mexico and all previous Allies of the US before this Lunatic was voted into office!! I voted for Kamala!

I am so sorry that my country and our president has done this horrible move! Not everyone believes that he knows what he is doing! We love Canada and this is truly a horrible decision.

Tariffs will make Canada Stronger and America Weaker.

I believe. Working together. Been friends usa. And canada. Trump we door have big drug problem and soo meny coming in. Cross with. Nothing. Crime has double. Rent soo high. Work. Together. Please. Clean up

As an American. This is trump and his cult. The American people stand with Canada

Canada got overwhelmed by immigration and its distinctiveness got diluted. The same is happening in the US, at least some of us are trying to fight back, Canadians just seem to rollover and take it.

putin & donnie plan to coordinate a takeover starting with the US (which donnie has already initiated). Thank you PM Trudeau - you and others please keep standing up to him because our own representatives are cowards who choose power, prestige, privilege and profits over their constituents. donnie has already bowed down to putin. donnie has missed the fact that fentanyl is smuggled in via container ships from china along with mailed packages and trucks from Mexico. Agents can inspect at the borders until the cows come home but smugglers will always come up with new ways to hide contraband. Oh yeah, donnie is NOT a “very smart guy”. The WSJ is wrong on that point. Don’t feed his ego.\nStay strong Canada ❤

I wonder if I will be able to collect my SS if I move to Canada? Im done with maga

I also stand with Canada thinking of relocating out there

Trump is a first class bully, Canada won’t tolerate his nonsense. Very poor move for Trump and his team to make.

I am an American. I am not sure why trump is continuing to tariff Canada since they held their end of the bargain and improved border security. This is getting out of hand.

A hockey nation is always ready to drop gloves and fight! I salute you Canada!

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

I am gobsmacked with all the comments left on here from Americans standing with Canada... that's the way it should be however, how in the hell did that SOB get into office yet again if everyone is saying they did not vote for him. America had the opportunity to have someone sitting in The Whitehouse that would clearly better their country instead .......You have this.

Support Canada all the way, from Upstate NY

Canada saves it's hate for FASCISTS

I wonder if Trump is trying to manufacture a war with Canada to justify us taking them over like he wants. That's about the only thing that makes a trade war with Canada makes sense (not that it's OK)

Canada should demand a regime change in US.

Oh Canada I’m so scared! Don’t act so tough 51st state

A golden age for the rich, not the people. Stand strong Canada , dont let this bully take you down.

Im mexican American God bless canada

The true north strong and free... canada???❤❤❤

Thank you, Canada❤ I am glad there are still strong leaders who stand against tyranny

Canada I didn’t vote for him nor do I support his tariffs so sorry about Trump and Vance

ce Trump est un sombre crétin qui pense pouvoir vivre seul et changer ses alliances pour isoler le Chine ! Quel pauvre fou ! Gloire au Canada , aux démocraties , à l'Europe et mort aux c...s !

We need a leader as intelligent and capable as Justin Trudeau. Canada, standing their ground may be our best chance to impeach the disgusting dictator in our country. Canada? Are you ready to accept any Democracy loving Americans who want to escape fascism? We would love to be Canadians!??

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

Dear Canada. Trying to reason with the people of the United States won't work because the MAGA have been brainwashed and you can't reason with a brainwashed person - they will only listen to and believe their Dear Leader. The rest of us - those not brainwashed - don't need to be reasoned with because we are still and will always be your friends.

77 million voted for this nut case but 250 million DID NOT! We stand with Canada and are embarrassed and so sorry!!!

Great job America, lose Canada for Russia! I hope Putin screws you all!

Trudeau has done so much damage to Canada it is 100 times worse than anything the tariffs will bring.

Sad state of affairs when the only advocate we Americans have comes from another country!\nI wish we had a government that cared about us like Canada cars about their own

Very impressed with President Trudeau. Articulate, honest. Stand strong together Canada. Americans are with you. Not with Donald \nTrump! Your Prime Minister is to be congratulated. \nThis is madness!!!!! \nBut we will right the ship!!\nDon’t give in to him!

I'd rather move to Canada. Never thought I would ever say that.

Is there a way Oregon and Washington state can become Canada's 11th province? please? Oregon

Buckle up Canada! Your economy is already hurting.

The UK stands with Canada.

Can't us in the EU strike a free trade deal asap to help Canada? I wonder.

Good for You Canada , it Sucks but stand your ground to this moron trump. ❤?? from Detroit.

PM Trudeau got criticized heavily for meeting with Trump back at the end of November. Turns out he was being proactive and attempting diplomacy first, which is the Canadian way. In doing that he's had Canada ahead of the curve on dealing with Trumpler's dopey plans and insults. Trudeau now has new trade deals with other nations in the offing, we are moving forward without the US.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires
