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

This guy is getting removed as the leader of Canada due to how that country is being run and everyone in these comments is commending him ?

Donald thinks he is running a business with profit and loss. Does he reliaze that by increasing Tariffs he is hurting Americans? Eventually, Canada will find other markets to sell their products.

Canada is the 51st state. There was no reason for Trump to call it out. Now, you can see the desperation on Trudeau's face, and the Canadian reaction.

I would love to have more leaders talk directly to AMERICAN people to let them know facts and the real truth. Some Americans listen to Trump. Most of us stand with you Canada. Trump has lost his mind and spineless republican politicians are heppy to listen to him.

Canada, we are sorry. 49 % of our voters lost their mind. Prime Minister of Canada is right, no one wins a trade war. Nor is this war or the trade war with Mexico is justified.

As an American embarrassed by trump. I'm on your side, Canada!

This American says fuck Trump go Trudeau and Canada

FROM ANOTHER AMERICAN: Dear Canada, \nShut us down. \nShut down the crude oil. \nShut down the natural gas. \nShut down the electricity. \nAnd tear that starlink contract up like confetti. I will donate a disco ball and help you toss all the little pieces in the air. ? \nShut. Him. Down. \nSincerely, \nAn American who wants to get this shit over with so we can go back to being best friends again. ?

I’m a US citizen and I so sorry that the Trump Administration has chosen to do this to Canada. Trump is a lunatic and is surrounded by evil people who support his wild decisions that hurt other countries and US citizens. Canada is a fantastic country and have always been our closest friends and best ally.?. I would love to move to Canada where sane people live!! Again, I apologize.

Does Canada have a fentanyl problem?

Can we please come live with you canada???

Why is no one asking how much Fentanyl is brought into the USA Directly (not via Mexico or Canada)? Surely more is imported directly into the USA or even Manufactured on American soil than arrives from Canada?? We all knew the Tariffs have nothing to do with the border...it's been economic negotiations from the beginning...Also it's US demand for the dug that is the real problem not the borders.

As a Brit I stand with you Canada. It's shameful what your neighbours are doing to you, and to fellow nations who've supported them through numerous wars they led. Canada is a beautiful, kind country. ??❤️??

CANADA Allowed CRIMINAL ILLEGALS INTO AMERICA.

It's a matter of time, Canada is going to be 51st state.

Canada's politeness is mistaken for weakness.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm with Canada on this! Way to alienate our friends, Trump!

oomph my gosh you silly people, Canada will join the USA after trump kills us all :)

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.

Well said Canada. 1 of 2 thing I think will transpire from trumps tariffs. Canada will be economically crushed and be sucked into becoming the 51st state. 2. I think there will be Trouble in the USA. Probably a light whiff of civil war. Isn’t it amazing how just one man can cause all this tension in the world

Can we be clear here that Trump launched a trade war against Canada and NOT the United States?

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

CANADA 51st State of AMERICA !!! Governor Trudeau!

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.

American. I stand behind Canada. I didn’t vote for this, but I will stand proud as it all crumbles so those that did can feel the consequences of their actions.

F Canada

U.S. Army Vet here. I stand with Canada and the American people.

Trudeau before trump : hates Canada \nAfter trump: loves Canada

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

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

Canada doesn't practice fair trade with the US. DJT is fixing it. Get over it, we're tired of being screwed.

Canada deserves all the tariffs slapped in it's face for being the loyalest lapdog of the US and for all the crimes it has committed on behalf of the US.

Canada, you taking applications?

If only America had a leader like Canada`s

Fight, fight, fight. The world stands with you Canada, against idiocracy.

This only hurts America, it's like what the Civil War did for the cotton trade, Canada will find other customers...\nSo will Mexico.\nAnd the only economy that will suffer is ours.\nDUMB.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

Good speech. All the best Canada. Britain and Scotland ???????. Are with you.????

Born & raised in California. \nI stand with YOU Canada. This is madness. Pray for Us all

If yall like this shrimp then move to Canada. Theyve been sucking us dry for more than 20 years. Remember George Washington, or isolationism? These aren’t old concepts.

Someone with balls at last. This is what a real country leader looks like. Thank you Canada.

Kevin, the RCMP that blocked Trudeaus investigations. Kevin the fentanyl Czar - to do what? Ensure inventory is high in Canada? Kevin another friend and Trudeau Foundation supporter. YUP! another wasted salary.

I wish the US is a province of Canada ? ??

Germany here. We are with you Canada❤

Trump is American, not Canadian, his job is to make America better, not Canada. No more free rides Canada. Trump is fixing it.

Canadas value as a country is less than 1/8th of the US . They’re total gdp us just our educational spending . I don’t think it’s smart but I’m not worried

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada.

As an American, thank you Canada for speaking the truth and not hiding and kissing trumps ass. Thank you for your help in mobilizing the American people.
