American here, totally agree. I don’t understand this at all! I LOVE CANADA!!! ?? ❤

This American fully supports you, Canada. If I could more to help you I would. ❤

Every sane American should support Canada! Trump is an abomination.

This American stands with Canada!

This was not my choice. I did not vote for the orange clown and his jester. Please Canada not all Americans agree with what is going on. After his reign, please help us heal from this and other atrocities that have taken place.

~Surely WISH I was a Canadian!!! GO CANADA. This American TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU???~

As a black American who didn’t vote for this. Go crazy Canada.

To Canada, I am an American who abhors Trump, Musk, Vance because they are the biggest danger to our Whole World.

Preach Justin!! F the clown!\nKeep your American guns out of Canada & Mexico, how about that?!

American here who is MAD AS HELL at dirty, filthy trump!! Hit the switch, Canada! TURN OFF THE POWER. BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN PRODUCTS. JACK UP THE TARRIFS. Economic pain is, unfortunately, all that the average dumbed-downed MAGA Americans understand.

As an American, trump can't even wipe President Trudeau ?! As an American I stand ONLY with Canada!

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

As an American ?? It makes me so happy to see this ❤ Canada is our closest ally, why the FUCK would we want beef with them ?

Canadians do not like Trudeau, he’s increased his citizens inflation with Rules, regulations, communism at core. It’s about Returning Americans the robbed coffers of Taxpayers funds, Americans have United, others move to Canada.

As an American i am proud of Justin Trudeau. He is doing for Canada what needs to be done. Donald Trump is trying to break everyday Americans down to become government slaves.

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

He didn't mention how what he implemented actually helped with combating the Drugs Americans were smuggling into Canada. Kinda classy he didn't deflect like like the Americans do.

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

As an individual Japanese, I cannot stand the current US president and vice president. I demand an impeachment trial. In order to protect America and the American people, these two people who do not call Russia a dictatorship, call Ukraine a dictatorship, and refuse to use Russia's frozen assets should be impeached. They say such things to China, but in reality they are lenient, and it is impossible that they treat Canada and Mexico worse than China. Please. American people, please do not accept dictatorship.

American born, live in the USA and stand with Canada. President Trump is not my president. ?I am on disability.

I'm an American.. I am so sorry this is happening to Canada. It makes me ashamed of my government! May God intervene, and may God Bless Canada! In the mean time...turn off the power too!

Thank you Canada !!!!! Teach Trump a Lesson, and I hope the rest of the world does the same.... Not to harm the American people but to bring Trump to common sense ( if that is even possible)

As an American, i hope that the world does react to the United States as Canada has. And even worse. I hope that things for us get as bad as it gets because anything less will be ignored or brushed off as anyone elses fault. I want Americans to really understand what a horrible mistake they made in Donald. But my hopes or not, this seems very likely to be the case anyway.

Much support to Canada. I hope our president also stands up against racist imperialist Trump. We know that Donald does not represent the majority of American. Let's stand together against Donald and his billionaire friends ??????

Americans for Trudeau and Canada❤

Once a blessing, now a curse. Who wants the Americans on their side these days? Putin suffers from the same problem as Canada and the EU are: Every 4 years America's policy can radically turn against you.

I'm an American. I'm with you Canada. Keep up the good work. Trump and company have to go. I pray before they have done irreparable damage to my country and yours.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

When will Trump invade Canada and tell insane Americans that Canada has invaded the US

Dear Canadians, \nIt will be extremely painful but I know, without a doubt, that you will NOT bend the knee to trump nor putin. \nYou will overcome and come out stronger without the whims of the United States minority rule where white Americans control the lives and futures of the rest and the cowardice of the republicans that kiss their leader's feet for fear of being primaried by his billionaire master. \nI look forward to seeing you on the other side stronger, prouder, and more independent than you have ever been.\nMy full respect and admiration go to each of you❤\nGodspeed Canada

This American loves Canada !

As an American, I don’t understand it either. Trump is not my president! I stand with Canada! I don’t recognize my government anymore!

I have NEVER been more ashamed of my beloved country… or the person (read: LYING RACIST SEXUAL ASSAULTING TWICE IMPEACHED FELON!!! ?) IN\nMY LIFE!!! I hope Canada uses every tool at its disposal to inflict pain and loss; up to and including SHUTTING OFF THE ENERGY SUPPLY TO THE EAST COAST! Until Americans rise up against this unacceptable and unnecessary INSANITY! And DEMAND IT IMMEDIATELY STOP!!!\n#ShameAmericaSHAME #BRAVOCanada

Canada and Ukraine has real presidents who love their country and their people -- America is stuck with a putin bootlicker who lies endlessly to the American people!

As an American I apologize to Canada we have no wish to betray you we are being betrayed from the inside!

For all those who voted for Trump....yes all these tariffs mean harm to the American citizens in rising costs that we will not be able to afford, as we are already struggling......listen to Canada speech to us.....

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I am an American and totally agree with Canada. \nTrump is messing with Canada and all Americans in his crazy quest to get money to give the 1% billionaires.

Canada just threatened Americans directly. Now it's going to get ugly. Why would Canada escalate and dare trump?

Wow, this is an American President who can talk coherently. I suggest that Canada invites all US-American States who still have a sane sense to join the United States of Canada. I bet, the world would be in a better state if we had leaders like President Trudeau. Chose between a babbling and overtaxed old man and an intelligent man who makes sense!\n(Should I have made any spellings mistakes, it's probably because English is not my native language, so please hold back on your hatred you trolls out there. At least I speak other languages ;)

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

I'm American and I'm against Trump and his administration. Do what you have to do. He has no friends.(Trump) He is a fascist. In love with Putin. Go Canada GO

As an American - I am completely ashamed of this terrible trump administration - clearly trump has no clue & only knows mob tactics to get anything done - I salute Canada for standing up against this clueless trump

I appreciate Canada using facts. As an American it is difficult living ruled by a fact-free, fact avoidant, straight out lying Trump Administration.

So I guess it is only a trade war when the US demands reciprocal tariffs? It seems like injustice to be put on an even playing field when you have not been being held to the same standards. Canada, Mexico and most other countries have had tariffs on the goods they send to the US for decades; why all of the complaints now? Isn’t it fair that the US charge tariffs if Canada and Mexico charge tariffs? Yes, it is. What the hell is Trudeau even flapping his gums about? Perhaps all aid should be taken from Canada and Mexico for being ungrateful. You ever heard of the North American Union? It’s a thing. Look it up. You will probably have the Amero in your wallet before long.

We love you Canada! all decent Americans stand with you!

i am confused...if tariffs means the people pay, why would Canada put tariffs on American products wouldn't this hurt the Canadian people?

I'm American, and I didn't vote for the orange head. I support Canada

I'm in Montana and I stand with Canada! Thank you Mr. Trudeau and know that the vast majority of American's are on your side.

As an American...I stand with Canada!
