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. ?

We are so sorry! So many of us Americans do not stand with DT. It hurts me so when I hear those words, “America has done” this or that. It’s not us, it’s HIM and his sugar daddy EM. I did not vote for him. He is a shameless liar and more, and I cannot believe this is our reality. Disgusting! \nSending love to Canada ☹️

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.

Canada is loving this attention

I'm an American. I support and Stand with Canada not this Dictator we have!

We the South African given full support to Canada, we will all survive this in time. Our country is also targeted by America, and causing racial division but we chose to unite as SAns in protecting the country we all love. Oh God, how did we get here? ?

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.

Join Canada leave that crap behind

Canada Strong ??

Canada's politeness is mistaken for weakness.

Trump is a ?. Stand strong Canada. We are with you! ??

Thank you Trudeau for telling the US how we should run our country and how expensive it will be considering you have a 50% income tax, shitty healthcare, and a ban on half the guns out there. ? Canada hates Trudeau and so does Trump. That's become pretty obvious.

Canada you have a great leader.\nStay strong and God Bless you ❤

I want a president like Trudeau in Canada!!❤

I’m an American standing with ❤Canada and Ukraine ??

You can’t win this battle against the United States. That’s a fact. And your economy is weaker because the migrants you allowed entry are not getting misplaced — isn’t it many of them had left Canada too?

He's right it's not about Fentynl. It's about trump trying control Canada and take over Canada. Kudos to Canada for standing firm!!

Im a Trump supporter but we sure dont want no fights with Canada....

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.

Is everyone aware that Justin Trudeau resigned? Vote of no confidence. He basically got booted for being horrible for Canada. Judging by the comments section here, there are many thousands of people who literally have zero idea of what they are talking about.

So many truth bombs were detonated here. Viva Canada! ?? ?

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

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

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’s economy is weak. The migrants they allowed into their country are now misplaced because of lack of opportunities.

Canada, UK, Ukraine, Turkey and EU (without Hungary) should make some New Union

Donald is not a smart man of course. But, in terms of approaching a fascist and a criminal, since Canada will be hurt, Trudeau has to be the decent guy he is. Brilliant speech, the best I have heard ever. The guy is poised and knows how to speak. He is smart and compared to him, Trump is incredibly stupid. Bravo. Let me be clear, Trump is a traitor, a bully, a conman, totally lacking in compassion...he is driven by his perverse megalomania and narcissism. He is, in reality a very mentally sick man. And the Republicans are his pathetic cowardly accomplices. Given the continued support, Trump will run American into the gourd, even risk a war to get the attention he needs so badly.

As American, Go Canada! Trump is an a$$hole. And Vance is a ? . We are working on making his life a living hell.

Can’t wait for Canada to become the 51st state. Keep up the great work President Trump!

As a proud Canadian citizen, I am willing to endure hardships for the sake of my country's independence. \nInstead of supplying electricity to the US, we should cut it off and let them experience darkness. Our oil and other valuable resources should be redirected to benefit Canada and other global markets.

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

export to EU, we also have the goods you need. Simple. Let go of that small country, untill they are grate again 4 years from now, after elections (if there ever be another one, in trumpistan desunited states)\n\n\nHo, by the way, mister Zelensky will start peace talks with EU, WITHOUT INVITING UZA, and make a contract ripping of 50% of theyre resources for no reason or warranties and give alf of UZA to Canada ?

Trump is a NARCISSISTIC egotistical bully, liar, racist, sexist, uneducated moron. He is a friend of Russia, interested only in boosting his own sense of importance and greed. Here in the UK he is universally DETESTED. I hope the whole world responds in the same way as Canada.

This jerk is making a big mistake. If I were trump I would spend the next 4 years manufacturing everything Canada imports and wish them luck?

Love you Canada! So sorry our Dictator in Chief is the way he is. Couldn't be prouder of a country that isn't mine. As for my country... I'm very ashamed. I didn't vote for him and I'm so upset he got elected.

Be proud Canada and Mexico because so many of us Americans support you and know you got to do what you got to do. All because of this Fu ken Jackass idiot in the White House. Stand up, Be Proud and resist this Donkey and his spineless republican administration.

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.

Donald?... Get lost, get a haircut and get a real job. ???\n\nGo Canada Go! ????

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

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

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

And forsure he is on CNN i won't believe anything he said he has ruined Canada he will be gone

IF YOU THINK THAT SCARES US THEN THINK AGAIN AMERICANS ARE TOUGH WE WILL MAKE IT WITHOUT CANADA, YOU NEED US MORE THAN WE NEED YOU

Lol this guy is a straight Rat. Like trump said, we dont need anything from Canada. ??

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada.

Dear PM Trudeau. We Americans understand how and why you are doing what you are doing due to the stupid decisions of our dictator musk/trump. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the EU. God bless all of us as we deal with the aftermath of trump/musks BS decisions.

So it is true that American aren't allowed to do business in Canada? I hear it everywhere and wanted to confirm it.
