I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

As an American, I am embarrassed by our leadership. Presidents like Trudeau and Zelensky are men to look up to. They may not be perfect, but they remain strong and confident in the face of the tyranny of Trump and Putin. I live an hour from the Canadian border, and they have been nothing but kind and amazing every time I've ever visited. My support is with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. It is a dark and embarrassing time to be an American.

Get'em Trudeau! As an American I am appalled and pissed at the sh*tshow that is the current administration. And the last few in the last few decades. My country has always been a bully and we have fought hard to try and evolve, but obviously the level of education our society has has gotten worse and worse because we allowed ourselves to be ruled by capitalism and the wealthy elite instead of democracy and unity and understanding.

As an American, I am sorry for the actions of our idiot president. You don’t deserve it. I’m sorry.

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

As an American citizen, I am ashamed of the actions of our President.

I’m so embarrassed about what is being done in my name as an American right now . I am sorry Ukraine. I am sorry Canada

Canada, as an American, I am so sorry! This government does NOT represent all of us. I am embarrassed at how this is being handled by my government. It is bullying, it is wrong. I am so sorry.

As an American, I am rooting for you Canada. Give us a black eye. We need it

What an intelligent and articulate speech compare to Trumps endless mumbling and articulation of a demented grandpa with strange worldview. I am so sorry for Americans. I think this is the worse American president in history and he will definitely make history as in as the most incompetent American leader in its history. I can’t help but wonder who the hell was voting for this idiot?

As an American I am with you Canada!!!!!!!

Canada as an American I am so sorry for us all

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

As an American, I want to apologize for a man I didn’t vote for but is bringing your people harm, hate and I am proud of you Canada and your people.

Now these are the qualities a leader should have!! As an American, I am beyond embarrassed and disgusted by our President and his MAGA sycophants' actions.

As an American,I am totally for Canadians!

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

As an American, I hear the Canadian President. I am sorry about this. Canada is American Neighbor and friend. I dont agree with Trump with this tariffs.

As an american , I am absolutely appalled and angry at how trump and his people are acting. It's a disgrace , it's an embarrassment , and it's unacceptable. I don't take the red pill every day, so i'm not in the red haze. If you do take that pill every day, this will all affect you too. So good luck with that!! Your god will be gone in four years and then we'll switch everything back to normal!!

Love Canada! As an American, I am totally ashamed who we picked as our president. And this is just the beginning.

As an American citizen, I am horrified by the insane politics of the Trump administration. I am looking to move to Canada, if you will welcome me. I am a one per center, and will be depositing millions of US dollars into your banks.

As an Australian I am so proud of Canada my second favourite country -- well done. I'm not buying anything American and certainly won't travel there. Direct flights from Brisbane to Vancouver mean I don't even have to go over the US.

As an American in California who had a family cottage in beautiful Ontario for 12 years and was welcomed by so many Canadian friends I am appalled by the American president who is a traitor. I support Canada 100% and will do everything possible to support you in this economic war with this corrupt administration.

Thank you PM Trudeau. As an American who DID NOT vote for the orange man in a Satan suit, I support your actions towards the US. No one wins in this situation, and I am prepared for whatever is going to happen. Trump must be stopped!!!!

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

As an American , I am sorry and ashamed, we are still in shock we have a self absorbed idiot for a president and the total loss of integrity in congress.

As an american, i am ashamed of my country

As an American I am impressed by Canada ! They truly have an intelligent grown-up for a president. No name calling just clear honest truths !

I am an American, I support Canada and Ukraine, not Vladimir Putin and Russia. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! I'm sorry to say we have a wannabe dictator as president, I will never understand how he was ever voted in as president, he is not my president.

I have been taking over all my social media accounts and showing up to protest about dangerous Trump is for about 10 years now. I am embarrassed as an American. Sadly, 25% of our nation got duped.

Trump has gone insane and/or he is compromised by Russia. As an American, I am horrified.

As an American I am embarrassed and I apologize for our hateful government.

As an American i am deeply embarrassed and saddened by these last few weeks. This is not going to end well.

As an American, I am proud of you Canada!! You are showing class, integrity, and good morals. What is happening in our country is absolutely unacceptable and makes me sad. I also stand with Mexico and Ukraine.

I am an American. I am horrified by the orange alien's behavior. I am scared. My family is scared. Do what you have to. Canada is an upstanding country, as are her people.

As an American, I am so angry and disgusted with how our government here has put millions of American’s livelihood at mind blowing risk and their disrespect to many countries where we have built relationships with for decades and affect the livelihoods of the people of those countries; all to manipulate the markets for billionaires and corrupt criminals. That is what we get when we elect criminals against all warnings given over the last decade.

As an American I am so sorry for the pathetic acts of that man who isn't my president. He has the job and he's fucking it up properly. I am sorry. We are sorry. We will make up for this in the future and history will hold the asshole responsible. Again I'm sorry. We don't want this. They don't listen and our elected representatives are underpowered and weak to fix things.\n\nAre you guys taking American political refugees yet? I'm ready to come north.

As an American, I am ashamed of my government!!

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

As an American, I am terrified and furious.

Sir, with the upmost respect. Could you please not say Americans launched a trade war. I have no say, nor can I control what the idiots in the White House are doing. I am very very sorry for the situation and I am ashamed right now as an American.

As an American, I am ashamed of what the hell is going on. None of it makes a damn sense. Sorry to our Canadians brothers and sisters! Please know, We are not all insane.

As an educated American, I am appalled by what is going on in my country. \n\nThere's a literal Nazi coup taking over and most cannot see it. Just know the American people in mass do not agree with Trump, he simply had more money from billionaires to lobby.\n\nMedia is so divided here I doubt you see any of this on Fox

Please Prime Minister Trudeau...As an American I am imploring you not to resign Your Country needs you ....But so do we Americans!!!!

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

as an American i am proud of Canada for standing up to our wannabe dictactor FAKE president trump.

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.

As an American, I am devestatad by Trumps incompetence, I stand with Canada, never stop the fight for your rights.
