As an American. I support it. FDT?

With Trump as my president. I'm proud to be an American. I don't care if things go up because in the long run it's for the good of the country......OUR COUNTRY!

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

As an American I am sorry Canada, can I still come over? ?

As an American, I apologize for our President's stupidity. We didn't want this.

And listen to how eloquently and unemotionally PM Trudeau speaks. He makes sense, he is intelligent, he speaks the truth - no lies, no stupid exaggerations - wow, as an American I miss that.

As an American with common sense, I applaud Canada taking a stand against obvious tyranny and straight up stupidity.

As an American who did not vote for the giant orange useless idiot, I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the American voters who had enough common sense to not vote for trump.

I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. Its heart breaking that we allowed this to happen even with all the warning signs. I have protested, attended town halls, emsiled all my state representatives and every attempt can only have power if the people we elected go to bat for us. They are not doing so. Americans who know this is absolutely unacceptable will scream as loud as we can to stop this dictator but we need to help of the higher ups. Please...for the love of God, get this man out of the seat of power until it is too late. Maybe it already is.

As I sit here in my brand new Canada sweatshirt, no real American supports any of this and we stand with Canada and our allies. Being an American is a sad embarrassment.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

As an American, I stand by Canada, Ukraine and NATO. Trumps administration is dangerous and an embarrassment

As an American..I stand with Beautiful Canada!!!

As an American, I'm so embarrassed. I stand with you all! Sending ?? the strength to fight and end this war!

As an American, I stand with Canada ??

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

As an American I say bring it on and help us stop trump’s misguided dictatorship.

And MAGA Republicans call him weak... As an American, I support CANADA and Mexico!

As an American, In this ridiculous action, I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of Europe. In short, I stand against this American administration, and Vladimir Putin

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

As an American I stand with Canada not with the Felon in the White House.

I stand with Canada and Ukraine, as an American I didn’t vote for Trump!

As an American, I stand with Canada and against my own government.

As an American, I stand with Canada

As an American, I want to apologize to Canada…. I lived and worked in Montreal, Quebec for 3 years. Trump has underestimated the strength of Canadians. Canadians unite and fight with all your might!

Another note regarding fentanyl, as an American I do not see it as a Canadian/Mexican problem. Canada nor Mexico want to sell Fentanyl. Drugs are a United States problem. We, citizens of the United States are the problem. It’s time to look at ourselves instead of blaming the rest of the world. Lets stop being the worlds largest drug market.

this is so disgraceful, trump has dragged american ideals and history into the ground. i stand with canada as an american.

As an American, I support Canada. Please make it hurt here at home. It’s the only thing that makes people think twice and move for change. God speed

As an American I do not support the direction where the government is heading.

Bravo Trudeau - As an American I stand with Canada! Do what ya'll got to do against the tyrant in charge here.

As an American I am ashamed of the actions of our president Mr.SprayTan. Please understand this is NOT what a lot of Americans wanted. It is the wants of bigots, racists, narcissists and dictators that made this happen..I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe.

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

As an American i stand with Canada.

As an American, we don’t want this either, it makes no sense. I’m embarrassed and ashamed of our government. I didn’t vote for this.

As an American I stand with Canada and apologize on behalf of the country for the childish uneducated Trump voters and for our failed education system. This is the direct result.

As an American I am sorry Canada. I did not want this ?

As an American I stand with Canada.

As an American, my opinion is Trump is a traitor, siding with Dictators and from all evidence it appears he’s trying to destroy us. I am for and with Canada and the rest of the free world. Do everything you can to defeat Trump.

As an American I stand with Canada!

As an American, I support Canada 1000%. Our leader is a disgrace con man who swindled the country. I cant believe this is happening.

As an American, I support Canada.

As an American, I feel shame for what our unfit executive team is doing to our country and our relationships with our friends and allies and abandoning the Ukrainians to Putin’s war crimes and immoral war. trump is a morally bankrupt miscreant and an embarrassment to America. Canadian friends , rational Americans will course correct and override this maga extremist scourge..

As An American whose ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, I am infuriated by the Russian puppet in our White House, and I hope that after we rid ourselves of the vile criminal Trump, we can restore our long happy friendship with our good neighbors in Canada. Please fight for democracy and stand with Ukraine.

I stand with Canada ?? As an American we deserve this by putting the Orange Buffoon in the PoTUS seat

All I can say,is that as an American we are doing our part to make the US a terrible place to live. Would not recommend, not worth the better job opportunity or relatively cheaper house.

All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

As a Canadian, I am more afraid of the people than their healthcare system. And I am chronically ill and would be homeless in America. You seem pretty cool, but living in a place where children have to train for school shootings. I heard they cant even wear light up shoes for their own saftey. Just their hate of immigrants and people in general. Its not the first time that I have heard an American say they want to shoot down all the aliens. Also, wtf! We know you live in America. You dont need to have a flag every 2 meters. ????? even on your clothes. We get it! You're American! I feel like you guys get super offended by everything.

As an American yes Canada in 2025 is a far better society. Healthcare education environment Canada is superior to the USA . I want to apologize to Canadians for the idiot trump occults .

Even though it was already said, it must be said again. THIS IS NOT A “DISRUPTION”, IT’S AN INVASION.” May I also add that these migrants are using asylum seekers as an excuse. FINISH THE WALL AND PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM INVASION!!!!!
