Canadian president if you a true friend why would you allow Chinese poison and deadly drugs to pass through your country to dead and destroy Americans lives..why if your not enemies pretending to be American ally.

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

American by birth, Canadian by heritage, veteran by choice. May God help us in this new dark age.

The muskrat Regime does NOT care about Canadians, it does NOT care about Americans. It is only interested in creating chaos. This is to plunge the world into economic collapse because one maniac has a vision of a Technocratic society and an Illiterate baboon acting as head of state.

I am Canadian!!! I don't like Trump, he is everything that is wrong with American politics.

Funny thing is Canadians and Europeans will boycott American products while half of us Americans will purposefully buy Canadian and European products to stand with them against our Putin subservient government.

As an American I would love to put an end to this stupid trade war and get back on good terms with the Canadian people. But unfortunately I don't get to make the decisions around here.

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

US citizens, please do not divert your attention from where your primary attention should be and that is the Trump Administrations appeasement policies towards Russia. A 180 degree turn from opposing Russia to supporting Russia’s invasion of a sovereign diplomatically elected country. Canadians please do not direct your anger towards Americans who DO NOT support draft dodging Trump. US citizens will continue to support you and rid our country of this scourge!

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

Proud to be Canadian, Trudeau was so good, hope Americans are listening

I have to agree that Canadians are reasonable and polite and as an everyday American I wish I could stop trumps madness but I can’t. ?

Feel for the American people and Canadian people only one man has done this yes trump ,love from the uk ??

You never talk about 200,000 deficit Trudeau, if you want American people understand about you, US has been feeding Canadian forever Trudeau, and you also called trump dumb and In this case to be fair I don't think you are smarter then trump at all

Canadians better be careful who they elect after Justin Trudeau leaves They might end up with a Trumplike person governing their country too I pray for the Canadians Americans love you

Put aside party political differences, we CANADIANS will stick together, and to fight together. Average Americans, please listen: We are reluctant to have a fight, but we are not afraid of fighting and for sure we will hit back when we are insulted, threathened, imtimidated and got the 1st blow on our face without any reason. No one can leave a fight without a bleeding face and nose and you will be as miserable as we love to see. CANADIANS can be as nice as anyone can find on earth, and we can be as tough beyond your immagination. Now with the 25% tariff on on, we will have no choice. You will feel the pain from now.

A lot of Canadians I know are already boycotting American products.

Buy Canadian.? \nBye American.?

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

As a Trump supporter and a Trudeau detractor, it is becoming more obvious to me that this threat of tariffs has become Trumps way of bullying Canadians into becoming the 51st state. I also believe at the same time, Trudeau has finally grown a set of balls because he is on his way out. That being said, my respect for “Donald” is falling off. I have not lost respect for the American people but I have for current American policies…

The evil ?regime who is illegally destroying our rights and our relationship with our wonderful Canadian cousins is not supported by the majority of American people. We love you ??❤️❤️❤️

Canadians will stand against trump with Americans! We are family, we are friends, we are allies, we are the true north together standing with each other strong & free against tyranny! \n\nIn more politically correct terms.\n\nFUCK THAT GUY! ✊?

Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

This will hurt america way more than it will hurt Canada! Canadians are used to tightening their belts and pulling together and remember that when our trade deals are ratified with other countries and those relationships are built and new trade routes are forged bypassing the u.s. then the u.s. will be a stand alone country wait until Canadas oil and gas and electricity is turned , and let's talk about Canadas potash and just about everything else will be gone let's not forget about tourism because instead of making north America stronger Canada will be stronger and once we start getting fair market value for Canadian energy and our national debt is gone then it'll be bye bye Americans. You won't be the stronger nation on earth very much longer. Is America joining Russia as a new communist agreement.

Americans stand with Canadians ❤ stand up to the 34 count felon orange bully

AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH CANADIAN ??

I believe that the different Canadian parties need to get together to form a National Government to show the Americans that Canada is united.

Can you imagine Canadians & Americans meeting on a battlefield? It's like that scene in Braveheart, we start charging at each other screaming only to abruptly stop midway and greet each other and share a laugh. We may have little control over it but we won't let politics & politicians pit us against each other.

As a Canadian, I am proud of our leadership on the tariffs. We are polite people, but we refuse to be bullied. How can Trump treat our country this way when he cozied up to dictators? Well, my siblings who are Americans won't see me for awhile. I have to stand with my country. Proud to be Canadian. We as a country are united against tyrannical behavior.

That P.C. should’ve resigned\nNobody would have a problem, tariffs just because of him (Trudeau) is the dictator!!!\nLook what he done to his people during the Covid and he want to lecture us Americans. I can live with 25% tariffs.\nI feel bad for Canadians, not their government. There is no democracy.

As a Cornish Brit I stand with 50% of Americans and 100% of Canadians

Canada will be fine! It's the Americans that will be tariffed by many countries by the time the lunatic is done. He will burn that country to the ground. We'll see who's still standing! I'm not all that worried because besides food, which we've easily replaced what do we get from the US? Nothing we can't get elsewhere. However, the US needs our resources. The lunatic is going to speak to Canadian's later today. Someone tell him we won't be listening!

Canadian here. We are not anti-American. We are anti tariffs brought on by your president! And we will not be your 51st state!

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

This damage 15 years trust me Canadians Americans Mexicans century old relationship

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

I lived in Canada\nAll Canadians hate America and hate americans. Stop lying!!!!!!!

Look at this leader tell Canadians their government has their backs. \nLook at our government not caring about the jobs they slash leading to American families to struggle needlessly.\nWhat did we do?\nWe align with Russia and North Korea. What the hell?

Im so proud to be Canadian. I will take as much hardship to protect our beautiful Canada. Im buying only Canadian products and from countries that stand with democratic principles. My heart goes out to the American people. No citizen would have knowingly voted for the dismantling of their country and the suffering all will feel. Put your political view aside and pull together to save your families and country.

This isn’t’anti-Americanism’ how about anti-Canadian? As an American I can only say this breaks my heart that Donald continues to sever relationships with our nearest neighbors and Allie’s. How sad for all of us. Now tighten your belts America. This will hurt but Donald will tell you how great this is for everyone in his usual stupid bravado.

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

Wouldn't have been supreme if he said that he wasn't going to use tariffs but instead asked the Canadian people and businesses to boycott American products and they did so largely

As an American I am with Canada and Truedau told it as it is !!! trump is an idiot, a bully a moron and only in this for his personal gain !!!! selfish B@$t@rd at the American and Canadian expense !!! !

I am so sorry to the people of Canada! I am ashamed to call myself American. I would move to Canada in a minute if I could. If anything, I will be buying Canadian products over our own.

As a Canadian, I know that most Americans don't want this. But decisions have consequences, and - collectively - you voted for Trump in a free and fair election. He said he was going to do this. No one should be surprised.

Talking straight to the American people we don't want to do this to you but your Government chose to do this to YOU.. Wow wake up Americans we are better than this I'm appalled by this Administration it's beyond my comprehension at this point.. I stand with Canadians

I am not a fan of our Prime Minister but I stand beside him as a proud Canadian. Thank you Prime Minister Tuesday for sending this strong message to that traitor Trump. He has no clue how Canadians rallied to support Americans in our homes when 911 happened. Americans, please take your country back.
