Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

An am American… this is so sad :/ I can’t believe we are in THIS timeline….

As an American I am so ashamed of the actions happening.....what a fool in our WH. Thank you Trudeau for your words. Our markets are a mess and will get worse.

I stand with Our Canadian, Mexican neighbors and other allies , as an american citizen i am very embarrassed that trump is doing this to you all, ?i hope the other 1/2 of our country that voted for him wakes up soon

Well said sir.\nAs an American I am mortified at Trump's behavior. \nWe Americans love Canadians. Hold on to knowing that please.

Trump is a Putin puppet. As an American, I am so sorry we are at this place with our neighbors.

Trump is a mentally deranged idiot he is not friends with anyone but other dictators cuz that's what he wants to be he has said it and people have heard it yet the dumb people of the United States think oh the orange man in office is great.\nHey Canada you got the room for a family at 7:00 with three dogs and some cats because I will gladly become a Canadian citizen I am ashamed to be an American right now and I do not agree with what Trump is doing and yeah help

I am an American and stand with America. ?? if ya know how much Canada charges the U.S in tariffs ya wont stand with canada

I’m ashamed of our president. Canada has done everything they were asked by an unreasonable Donald Trump. Trump is isolating America intentionally. I am ashamed to be n American.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

Trump is a travesty! As an American, I am appalled by his tariffs on our allies Canada & Mexico. Please continue to fight against his bombastic ways!! Thinking Americans stand against him!

I am an American & I stand by Canada.

Trump should face a special tribunal along with Musk. Seize their assets for national debt. I am an American who stands with Canada.

I am an American and I stand with Canada ❤

As an American: can I move to Canada, please? I don't speak French, but I am very fluent in English, and have a good command of Spanish. I'm a good worker.

As an proud American for 67 years I'm frightened for our boarders. We may have Russians marching around here in the distant future. I am glad to say I did not vote for the Orange felon!!?

I apologize for the American administration. I am embarrassed to be an American at this time. ?

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

I am so embarrassed to be an American right now.....\nI stand with Canada! I would leave America and move to Canada in a second if they'd have me.

My Lord. I am rooting for Canada. And I am an American living in America. Crazy!

As an American, I am always feel embarrassed by this current administration both domestic and foreign. I know it’s going to be difficult for most us Americans and to most Canadians as well but, please make sure to give shit administration an ugly lesson which will be difficult to recover in short term.

I as an American am embarrassed of this country, America needs to wake up and understand Trump is playing a dangerous game, not only is this gonna blow up in his face but also ours.

I am an AMERICAN 100%...born & raised...\nI don't give 1 shit for anyone other than AMERICA...I don't care about CANADA, MEXICO, UKRAINE. \n..NO ONE!!!!

As eloquent and dignified Mr. Trudeau is here, and how rational his response is, it's wasted breath. You can't reason with an entitled child. We tried to reason with the children that were voting for him and it fell on deaf ears. He's no different. They know it all, all while knowing absolutely nothing. There's no changing their minds. I hope with all of my being that this hits those who support him the hardest and brings them significant financial pain. Elections have consequences and their vote needs consequences too. \n\nIn my 56 years, I've never been embarrassed to be an American. Thanks Donald, I now am. You did that.

I am an AMERICAN. I did not vote for that MONSTER! So Sorry for us all. I have always loved Canada. I have Canadian relatives

As an American, i am embarrassed and stand with Canada. It's gotten so expensive to live here in California it's ridiculous and the IRS still wants 2-3 thousand in taxes every year if you don't have any dependents to claim.

I am an American and I support Canada!!! ❤??

As an American, I am so heartbroken by what is happening to our country and our allies. The majority of Americans are devastated, furious and sorry. This is the most powerless I have ever felt in my life.

I am an American, I’ve spent time in Canada and the people and land are incredible. I support Canada and democracy, Canadians are not alone in the anger towards the US government even in a red state.

I am an American standing for Canada, the Ukraine and Mexico you are our friends and allies. I can’t believe my country is doing this.

I am ashamed to be an American. How we have come to this is beyond my comprehension. I apologize on behalf of our government. It's shameful

almost the whole world is laughing at us, I am now ashamed to be an American, my love for America is unfortunately being destroyed by a stupid government under Trump ?

I am an American who is in disbelief. What a circus Donald has created, lower prices from DAY ONE. Man the 50% of you jokers that voted for the Orange Man, you liking making America Great Again?? Joke.

I am an American and I don’t need any maple syrup from Canada or ice cream

I'm an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine!!\nI didn't vote for this government. I am appalled and discusted with this putin butt kissing agenda. ?

I am an American standing with Ukraine and Canada ????

This is what a leader looks like, uniting his people. As an American I am thoroughly disheartened and mortified by Trump and Vance's behavior.

An embarrassed American- standing with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. The US may have to fall on its face before we can get rid of trump and MAGA- if that’s what it takes- I am ready.

I’m an American and I did not vote for Donald Trump. I am all for Canada and Ukraine. \nTrump has to be removed from the White House immediately. He is Adolf Hitler wanna be.

I am with Canada and I’m an American. And btw, I didn’t vote for the Putin loving, insurrectionist, felon.

As an American I stand with Canada and the Ukraine. I am ashamed of trump , he should not be president. He is a disgrace as a human being.

Thank you!!!! I am an American and I am so grateful you are not backing down to this evil man. It will make things harder for me but it is necessary for the future. \nPlease don’t call him an American, he hates this country and desires to destroy it so his robber baron friends are our only solution.\nThank you❤

Thank you Canada, Thank you TRUTH. This is the transparency we have heard about in America and have yet to have seen. As an American, I support you. I am prepared and in Minnesota we HEAR you. We approve of your message. Godspeed!

I am an Asian American I support Canada and the EU or NATO countries to fight against the evil empire that invaded Ukraine. I believe Putin is the mastermind behind the trade war because he wants to stir up the fights to separate the allies to be weakened. Putin wanted revenge for the fall of the Soviet union. Now his tactics seemed to be working.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

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

Thank you Trudeau! As an American, I support you and am so embarrassed and appalled by my own country.

As an American I am disgusted that we have that orange POS sitting in the White House and all of his spineless POS!

I am an American, trapped with this Government, who I did not vote for. I do not blame Canada for your decisions. King Trump is evil, convoluted, self-centered, racist, and convicted felon. I am embarrassed for our GOP decisions. I am fearful. I am sorry.
