As an American I approve of this action.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

Trump is the great shame of America. As an American citizen I stand with Canada

As an American the citizens don't really have a choice on what trump decides to do. If you want to match his 25% tariffs I think you should. We qlso don't want to help putin hurt others. We want to work with Canada our allies. I don't personally know anyone that doesn't agree with this but that doesnt meant they do not exost.

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.

As an American I am impressed by how Canadians stay strong against bullies. I love how the Prime Minister's speech. Say no or back down to bullies.

As an American I am so embarrassed for what President Trump is doing. He is HURTING all our relationships with our allies. I'm beginning to think electing President Trump will be in history as the biggest mistake citizens made.

As an American, who didnt vote for Trump, I am proud of Canada standing up. We did this to ourselves.

God bless Canada. As an American, I am ashamed.

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 ?

As an American, I can appreciate Canada's response to the felon president. We want Trump, Miller, MAGA politicians and Elon out. They are bullies and Putin's puppets.

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada.

Prime Minister Trudeau as an American I stand with you! Have to disagree with you about trump, he’s has dumb as a rock!!!

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.

Please do not step down during a time when you are needed so much! American's need your wisdom and resolve. I say this as an American.

As an American I STAND WITH CANADA.

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

I as an American 100% support Canada this is ridiculous, I’m not sure why he would do this to our closest ally.

As an American ?? I 100% stand with Trump. America first. You do you Canada and we will do us.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico and the Ukraine. FDTRUMP and F MAGA.

As an American I feel shame and embarrassment. Where I'm from, you love, respect, and honor your neighbors. You treat them as you want to be treated. Canada is our ally. Mexico is our ally.

As an American, I'm embarrassed at our leadership. I stand with Canada on this.

As an American I stand with President Trump!

As an American I stand with President Trump!

Great speak Trudeau and I as an American support Canada not the Putin loving, disgraceful Trump.

As an American, I am so Proud of President Trump! If my neighbors in Canada had done what was right and stopped the flow of fentanyl from coming into Canada and flowing into my country, little Justin wouldn’t be crying right now in front of a camera. Hey Justin, how many of your politicians were paid off to allow fentanyl to continue flowing? None, you say? So it was just incompetence then? I don’t think that you care because you are on your way OUT! I hope my Canadian friends do better!

As an American, I applaud you Trudeau. \nStand up to The Moron!\ntrump, supposedly, bankrupted his Casinos. And that is suppose to be hard to do. Casinos always make money.\nBut, trump did it.

Im embarrassed as an American that this is happening. I support ??

As an American i support Canada, do what you need to do for your country and people. Trump is the worst president of my lifetime and thats saying a lot.

As an American I could careless what Trudeau the dictator has to say.. free speech something your citizens can't even practice..

As an American, can I move to Canada? Such a polite and respectful people. Stay strong yall

As an american i support Canada,Tump is Putins puppet. i regret voting for trump.

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

Well as an American I want this now you will face reality and stop ripping Americans off

As an American I 100% support you Canada, Ukraine and the rest of our allies. I did not vote for our convict and cheat in DC. I also refuse to call Donald a president.

As an American, I am sorry. I fully support any action you must take against our current government. Please remember it is less than 30% of our country that is MAGA. Most of us support you. Thank you for such an eloquent and measured address.

as an american taxpayer i worked 30 years in the private sector i want my future socail security to go to everybody else ? democrats are Insane

As an American I stand with Canada as well! ❤

As an American citizen I admire ur honest with ur people, I hope this damn Donald who I voted for not hurt us??

As an American, I gotta say… we really shouldn’t be doing Canada like this. I get it when it comes to China and other countries, but Canada?! I do not approve! ?? and ?? are basically besties regardless of the government drama and whatever substances may be involved.\n\nMeanwhile, Mexico is out here like, “Hello? Focus on me!” ??\n\nAnd in true Canadian fashion… “I’m so sorry, eh!” ??

Good for you Canada keep the pressure on Trump. As an American I hate what our goverment has done.

Thank you, Canada! As an American, I am appalled at the hellmouth this administration that I did not vote for has dragged my country into. Nothing I see suggests to me that the people we've entrusted with enforcing our laws and our constitution will come through for us against this coup that has broken with democracy and simple decency. So you do whatever you have to do to protect the interests of your own citizens, and I will have to hope that ultimately it will help topple these monsters who have taken this country hostage.

As an American, I stand with ?? and ??!

Just 1 month into the cursed reign of the Tangerine Palpatine, we have:\n1. Tanked our stock market\n2. Tanked our economy\n3. Watched as tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have lost their jobs for no reason\n4. Alienated our closest friends and allies\n5. Made 90% of Americans worse off and poorer\n6. Made everything we consume more expensive\n7. Made elon musk even richer\n\nI've never been more ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Ukraine.

As an American I say support Canada, take a vacation to Canada, it is a beautiful place especially in the spring. As the grass sprouts threw the snow, stunning wildlife are on the move in the moutains. Visit Canada with the kids.

Why are people saying “as an American” I blah blah blah ? WHO CARES??

I apologize to Canada for the unnecessary provocation to a long time friend and neighbor. As an American, I am horrified . May we be free of this nightmare soon

As an American I just want to say to Canada I am so sorry for the ignorance of trump. God bless you all

Canada, I stand with you as an American. This is not about fentanyl. Fentanyl is just Trumps excuse to crash the economy and cause chaos.

As an American citizen I would like to call for the immediate 3rd impeachment and swift dismissal from the Oval Office of trump for treasonous acts and attempts to dismantle the branches of democracy and incompetencey of running a country for best interest of all its people as well as charging musk in the illegal practices to gain access to highly classified documents belonging to the American people for his own personal gain. This farce cannot go on for four years.
