BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

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

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

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.

As a 72 yr old American in HI, I fully agree with Mr. Trudeau, and am profoundly turned off to Trump and his lap poodle, Vance.

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 American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

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❤

As both American and Canadian, I am really beating myself up over this.

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 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.

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 American and this is how you respond. Not like we saw with Trump and Vance with Zelensky. The US know we have a lunatic in office and hoping congress stands up and stop him all his illegal activity.

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.

As an American, I am so jealous of Canadians. Your govt's got your back and you actually have people who can speak properly running your govts ? I liked Trudeau's speech and answers so much. He's being so honest

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

I am an American and I stand with you

I stand with Canada and Ukraine! I am American and I am embarrassed and afraid!

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

Putin is an evil leader and so is Kim Jong Un. Building alliances with those evil leaders puts us at risk with God. God is One of order and love. Those leaders stand for hate, murder, lies, and dictatorship. I am American and I am concerned for the welfare of our country. I stand with Ukraine and Canada. Evil will never win…ever. Have no fear with God. Believe that He will protect us.

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Justin Trudeau is obviously a knowledgeable and communicative leader for Canada. Then we have Trump. ?. I am ashamed to be an American right now.

I am from Quebec and let me tell you I filtered out all american products from my shopping list.

As an American citizen... I am sorry for this idiotic trade war, I am sorry for the way our government treated Zelensky, and I hope that they can figure out a way to treat other governments with respect.

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

I am an American and I also stand with Canada, Mexico and the Ukarine! Stay Strong Canada!!

I am an American citizen. I support & respect Canadian values and beliefs and their unwavering support for their country. God Bless. ❤

I am an American and I am horrified with what is happening. We don't want this. God Bless Canada and Justin Trudeau.

I did not vote for felon 47 who has no idea what it means to be an American! He is Teflon and unaccountable! I am completely against anything he does!

I am American and I am SO happy Canada will not bow down to our weak, gutless, capitulating dwarf of a man, Trump. Good for Canada!!

I am an American who am horrified by the actions of this oligarch who has aligned himself with Putin. As a country we should be ashamed - especially those who voted this evil criminal and his cronies back into office. Obviously the dumbing down of America and an end to democracy is barreling down the train track. Thank you Canada for being a beacon in this madness.

We are fighters and we will weather this. I am an American. This isn't the first time we've had hard times to go through. We will do it for the good of our country. It won't lash that long. God Bless America!@

He thinks we want it. He’s wrong. I don’t I’m sorry it’s happening. I’m sad I’m an American. As a Christian I will be praying earnestly and to Canada- I Am personally sorry for stupid people ?

Can't say I'm thrilled with higher prices, but I am with Canada on this. They are doing the right thing. As an American, I am grateful for Trudeau's leadership and hope that this inspires more people to rise up against these horrible American oligarchs.

I am an ashamed American who stands with Canada and all countries who do not support Putin or Trump! Freedom for all that have humanity.

I am with Trudeau! What a hack job Trump and his cronies are doing at the expense of american consumers!

I am a american, and I'm so sad what our government doing, with the world

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.

I am an American living in the deep blue Northeast US and I stand with you, Mr. Trudeau! Feel free to annex us if you want. I'll help!

I wish i could move to Canada??? sorry neighnors..i am American and I am in shock..also sad.
