Canada get out of the American sheild.. make that make sense!! I love Canadians just not European ass kiss idiots.. Canada get ready for American he is showing you ge is going to hurt you

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke eloquently and professionally as a true leader should. Canada you will get through this. I am neither Canadian or American but I am with Canada but I stand firmly with Canada. I love your country and I love Canadians.❤❤❤❤❤

The people who supported Trump will never be forgiven. You just made life harder for both Americans and Canadians and I’m sure you’ll soon come crying about how life is sooo much harder and how you couldn’t have possibly known this could’ve happened. You think the world loves you but in reality, much of the world despises you and favours Canadians over you. You will soon see how delusional you are.

Great speech, eloquently speaking with facts. I stand with the Canadian people and the true Americans. Love from Portugal

Mr. Prime minister your speech is a masterclass on how to unite canadians from a american who loves canada

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

I support Canada even if I am an American! I would love to get a list of Canadian products that I can purchase!

I am a proud to be a Canadian! I have not bought anything American since this crap has started. Justin Trudeau, you have really stepped up to the plate! Well done! You have proved you do love Canada, unconditionally! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??????????????

Not my place to say, i love American people as much i do for Canadians, but go out check in the world, most countries do not like America bcause of this kind of policies, aggression and hatred. No woder he has only ONE LONE friend, Putin.

American here (as embarrassing as it is to admit), I stand with Canada 100%!!! I did not vote for this disgrace of a human! Blessings and Love to all Canadians. ???

Canadian here . Not interested in buying anything american nor visiting states ever again .Been to usa multiple times and will not go back , at least until there is some leadership that I can respect. I have love for Americans, but never to the detriment of Canada.

Canadian here, my grandfather died fighting the Nazi's during WW2 in the Raid on Dieppe and is buried in France. Trump (The Evil One) and Musk are Nazi's. Remember when they were campaigning on the water and the last few boats in the parade were flying Nazi flags???? I will never let that Hitler wannabe take my precious country. Everything he touches turns into worm vomit. I will pray for my American friends and family: God please remove this maniac from the White House. Love, Nancy

I am Canadian. America listen…your leader is destroying your country. Love to you Americans from\nCanadians/ Mexicans and Chinese friends.

As an American I am impressed by how Canadians stay strong against bullies. I love how the Prime Minister's speech. Say no or back down to bullies.

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!

From all the bullying that this man gets from Canadian citizens and American leaders, I love how he handles things very professionally. He’s got exceptional self control and never lost his temper. Always showing humbleness. A great example of a true Canadian.

PM Trudeau nailed it! Americans love Canadians, stay strong and don’t bend to the USA’s narcissist Mafioso-in-Chief!!

Americans love Canadians!!! Well spoken Mr President and with class!!!!

Canada, I and the majority of Americans stand with you in this. We abhor Donald Trump. We are protesting. We are pressuring our leaders to stop this nonsense. We will purchase Canadian goods whenever possible to support your econony over our own. We will do more if it is required. It has been a long time since the American left has had to rise and fight... but we will fight. \n\nI am sorry... so very, very sorry... for what the ignorant minority who elected Trump has done to you and to my own country. The good news is, it will not last forever. We - the educated, empathetic, democracy loving Americans, raised on the stories of past heroes who stood up against corrupt governments - we will make sure this ends. The sooner, the better. Stay strong. We're fighting for you too.

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!

This is what a real leader looks like. From and American who is sad our elected (and not elected...) officials slip further into fascism. Love my Canadian brothers and sisters.

Trump will be gone - perhaps in 2 years he will lose the house/senate...and then what America? You've lost a loyal friend. It will take YEARS to rebuild our trust. Who will come to your aid the next 911? And it WILL happen; u are despised worldwide. It's a sad day. But as a Canadian, I love my country and will boycott EVERYTHING American to the best of my ability. Enjoy the hell to come America.

The Canadians love the\n? beers of USA. They love President Trump.❤️AND IF CANADA BECOMES THE 51ST STATE OF USA, THE CANADIANS AND AMERICANS WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL Economic RECIPROCITY OF BUYING AMERICAN GOODS and Canadian products without worrying tariffs for Canadian goods.??

Canadians love americans... except for cheeto, blockhead, and their followers.

Good for you Trudeau !!!! I am an American and I totally understand where you are coming from and you are exactly right! I love Canada and the Canadian people. Saying it and showing it are 2 different things. Shame on the ones who don't show it. God bless you and Canada, Trudeau ???

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

Not all Americans align with Trump,We love our Canadian neighbors and a majority of us in the northern region of NY are of Canadian heritage and stand with all free countries ❤

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

We are brothers American and Canadians are on the same land same boat one side goes we both sink im Canadian and I stand with American much love let’s stay family and be peaceful and end this madness

Great Job by Justin T., KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB, AMERICANS-LOVE CANADIANS! It’s just Trump the fat ass that’s causing problems!

I'm an American & his speech almost made me cry. He's such a great leader & Canadians are our great role models. I love you guys & I will protest my government.

Love that simple statement;” make that make sense”. As an American that is what I have been trying to do since his first presidency. I am truly sorry to all Canadians for this buffoon and his ignorance. I have no reasoning for those that had voted him in to office A SECOND TIME!!!!

As an American, I am embarrassed. I have loved travelling to Toronto, and working directly with my Canadian colleagues. These tariffs are plain dumb, and can only be explained by Putin's influence on the FOTUS in America.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

Dear Canadians, Americans love you! Our heart is breaking. Why can’t we have a president with manners and dignity?\n\nAs a Daughter of the American Revolution and a veteran I want to apologize for my country. \n\nI’m not sure how everyone can be so fooled by this man who I knew was a lecherous thug the first time I saw him back in the 90s. When he was dying to sit at Elaine’s table, but she wouldn’t have him. Everyone knows he’s scum.

Hopefully AMERICANS can open their ears wide and understand what is going on because it gets worse and worse\n\nSending love to all Canadians ?? ❤ ??

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Donald is not a smart guy, (you’re being diplomatic, )he’s dumb and dumber for doing this and it will show very soon the consequences of his actions. Trouble is, he doesn’t do anything if he’s wrong he just doubles down, he doesn’t take any responsibility even if he’s the one that causes it. Good on you, Mr. Trudeau, Americans, love Canada and Canadians, but Donald is not who the United States is about. He’s a traitor and of course a felon, Conman, hrapist. He is the one that we shouldn’t let in our country, especially to the presidency of the United States.

Well done to Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing up to donOLD. Find other markets for your goods. There are other countries who would love to replace the American products on your shelves

I am a Canadian and I love America and the American people. I hope we can put this behind us sooner rather than later there is no need for any tension between us. We always have each other‘s back. With that said, I would like to see Canada step up to certain obligations, including with NATO, but as far as a trade work goes, this is not good.

As a Washington State resident, I have always and continue to love and respect our Canadian neighbors. This US fake president is a liar and shameful embarrassment to Americans. Mr. Trudeau is pulling his country together as trump is tearing our country apart.

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

OK for you to sell your shit here but yet you don’t allow us to sell our stuff there piss on you. That’s my opinion. I love Canadians but it has to stop and it’s going to. He is not aligning his self with Russia that is a lie watch what you say\nAnd furthermore, you can speak to the American people all you want. We follow our president and don’t threaten us. You’re on your way out the door anyway we will not forget what you did to the truck driver you’re a political pig.\nyou need are 9:02 money we don’t need yours

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

OK for you to sell your shit here but yet you don’t allow us to sell our stuff there piss on you. That’s my opinion. I love Canadians but it has to stop and it’s going to.

You’re on your way out the door anyway we will not forget what you did to the truck driver you’re a political pig.

Boy, Canadian PM is totally out from dumb trump’s league. Canadians, you’re in good hands there ? Poor Americans, please, do something before the USA will not be anymore the country you love.

I'm an American and I like this guy. Much love to my Canadian neighbors!!!

I am an American and love my country and its people. But TRUMP and Musk and Vance are villains ?! They must be defeated. And they will be stopped. We need to stick close to our neighbors and our friends in the world. Putin is not a friend. I hope our Canadian brothers know we real Americans want cooperation and friendship, not a trade war.
