American here from California, we stand with Canada, Ukraine, never Russia. We’re so heartbroken & angry with is happening in the US. Impeach Trump & his cronies then we can have a better world.

Cutt off the electricity to Ny?? and water to california ?

Watch everyone a year from now is going to have a different tune when all this fearmongering is gone. Trudeau is so bad he doesn't even want to run for reelection. We don't even know if inflation is going to get worse. No one knows that. California was paying $7 to $8 gas at one point with Biden.

Trump is isolating the US. We are all going to be held hostage while Russia invades through California

I see this as nothing less than Trump wanting to do to Canada a slightly more palatable version of what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Trump has openly said he wants Canada to become the 51st state, even though this is a huge ask as Canada has a population larger than any US state (California is close in population size), Canada has a land mass nearly the size of the US and, including water mass, Canada has a larger overall area than the US. Trump also wants Iceland to be owned by America. He has become power crazy during a war because this is his only chance to stoke his ego to undreamable levels. Trump wants to be America's Putin.

American from California aslso known as mini Denmark we stand with the world and democracy in condemnation of Trump and his eyeliner-lapdog vance, no relation to lipstick lesbians they too support democracy and sanity!

Canada has long been the 51st state of the US, as they follow the US so closely politically, ecumenically, culturally, foreign policy wise, etc. Canada has been following and listening to the US fed government even closer than some of the US states, e.g. California (leftists) & Texas (rightists). This is especially true under Trudeau who has been willingly to be part of, and to be subordinate to the US governments. He has nobody but himself to blame for the current situation.

NO WEE DON’T NEED ANOTHER CALIFORNIA…..!..PLEASE !

I hope California gets adopted by Canada. I'm so down.

We are going to see America different regions separating themselves, especially California.

When I think that not so long ago Canada came to the rescue when California was on fire…

Canada - Adopt California!!

I wish we could have him instead ? thank god I’m at least in California. Safest place in the US

From San Diego California shout out to Mr Trudeau ??????

No winners? Your gravy train with the US is over and you have the most to lose. The US has been asking for fair reciprocity with its trading partners but you are causing it to be demanded. Canada has a population about the same as one state California. Trump has opened the US up to extracting and using its own oil, mineral, timber and other resources which we have lots and lots of. Just a matter of time before America is rid of the parasites on its ass.

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.

California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

Fight back? So it's ok to have a one way open border with another country? They practice rampant restraint of trade. Canada has the population of California and think they flex on the US. Good luck with that.

I will also stand up for any Canadian any time any place.. please make California one of your provinces

California stands with Canada. To quote Robert De Niro F**k Trump

California here... but my Mom was Canadian and never gave up her citizenship.. wearing my Canada sweatshirt today in solidarity. I hope Canada knows how many Americans are with them and how much we hate what's going on in our country. For the first time in in my life I am deeply ashamed to be an American.

Trudeau please annex California Im old worked hard as a Tax Acct and to be in your presence You Care and statesmen with Empathy ps i studied French and can do Taxes

I'm an American but I will support Canadians anyway I can... Love from California.

Alberta, Canada: I just returned from shopping and I am happy to say that I managed to spend CAD $450 on groceries without spending a single cent on American products! I buy a lot of organic items and many of them come from California. But putting in the time today at the store and reading labels, I realized that there is a Canadian/Mexican/European equivalent for everything I need ; )

I'm from California FUCK THE WORLD!!! do what you got to do!! But you're still a POS?????

Can we trade Trump for Trudeau. We'll also throw in Lindsey Graham, MTG, Boebert, Ted Cruz, and Hawley and three cases of red wine from California.

Canada is also our closest leech. By all rights you shouldnt even be an independent country. You're the second biggest country in the world, you have the 28th largest military. Your entire population is barely over that of california. You're economy is borderline pathetic, and your government is even worse. Kick this Trudeau clown to the curb and get a better PM. As far as im concerned any free nation that limits speech and rights the way canada does is simply not free. We would gladly take everyone west of Winnipeg and accept you into the USA. But Quebec and Ontario can piss right off.

Y'all opened a huge can of whoop ass today. Your Cheeto Bandito is going to hurt his own people with this mental move. No potash for fertilizer, no nickel to make stainless steel, no lumber to rebuild California, no electricity for New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, best hope it's not too hot this summer, no AC for those folks, eventually the 4.3 million barrels of oil a day, in a week gas will be 10 dollars a gallon down there. We'll survive because we are a strong bunch, but you have screwed one of your few friends on earth and we have long, strong memories.\nELBOWS UP

From UK. 95% of people I know stand with Canada and expect our own government to do as much as they can to help. Many individuals are already refusing to buy US goods and services and have cancelled holidays to the USA. No more Florida, Las Vegas or even California.

Please invite California to join your country

Love Canada from California.\nTrudeau a real compassionate and great leader \nGod bless Canadians

From California: \nHis talk to Trump was like a father speaking to a baby ??? ??❤️\n1000% tariffs on Teslas and Kentucky please!

I am so ashamed of our country in this moment in history. I stand with Canada and send apologies from California.

Oh Canada... ❤ California.

I believe that you missed the point that you’ve been disrespecting the US for decades, and as far as I’ve been concerned, I would just assume wear American Shoes drive American made (Toyota made in Texas , Subaru in Indiana)cars and drink California wine, and regarding your power if Ontario doesn’t want to send it to America, I hope you find out another place to buy it, we should be buying our power from Dominion Duke next era APS etc

I love Canadians. They always stood with us. I’m from California ❤

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

Coming from Northern California wine country in Calistoga California, I say I am with you Mr Trudeau thank you for standing up to trump who is very insane god speed

Trudeau is a total DICKHEADD always trying to scare americans, AND hes hella manipulative , he shoud worry about canadians and stop trying to pep talk U.S natives like were babies , we know whats up, hes just mad that we Americans are standing up to the bullshit were fuckenn tired as well,, weve been seeing prices go up, and thats why were fighting back , FUCKK YOUUUU CANADA AND YOUR LEADER!. straight up like that,, yall dont give a fucc about us yall never do. yall didnt send help when the fires were happening in california.

California want OUT from the America ??, so shame

What an effaminate Marxist punk. Calling President Trump “Donald”. Then telling how much this will hurt America. The population of Canada equals the state of California. Who feels the pinch first?

Could Canada go ahead and adopt California as a province? I'll move there immediately then. Maga and trump always shit talk California anyway, there's no love lost there ? please California LET'S DO THIS!

From California: standing with ?? and ??

Oh Canada you speak big but your gdp is smaller than California by 2! Your trade war doesn’t scare the blue collar working man. We went through a Biden presidency!! Lol

The worst part about this is - Canada has the population of like the state of California - we might as well be a state

California stands with Canada!

From California, I stand with Canada.

California is a blue state. Please come visit us, and make us one of your new provinces.

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.
