We are angry - with those people who ignorantly voted for Trump and those people who chose not to vote. Not the people who chose to vote democratically to remain a democratic country. We are clear that his real agenda is to use this trade war to attempt to coerce us into becoming the 51st state. For MANY reasons, we will not EVER become part of Trump’s America. We will collectively fight in any way possible, even though we know it will be tough, to prevent it. We also know that there is a bigger picture in that it’s clear that Trump is aligned with Putin in the push to destroy democracy globally in favour of an authoritarian world order that benefits only the ultra rich. Canada, the Ukraine, Greenland and Panama are stepping stones to that end goal.

German here. I stand with the EU, Ukraine and Canada. Let us remember that it‘s the billionaires that divide us and rob us of our future. Let‘s put our differences aside and focus on that truth for now!

From the Netherlands I stand with Canada and Ukraine. And not the lying authoritarian Trump regime!\n\nI remember Trump saying America is no longer the laughing stock of the world... True now we can really only shake our heads at this point. It's gone beyond laughing stock. It's just sad now.

We kenyans stand with Canada and Ukraine

American here. Standing with Canada, Ukraine EU, GB, AU and the free world.

Unfortunately the people who voted the orange clown in should be only one's suffering but we who did not vote for this S--------t show will suffer along with our wonderful allies. Shameful. Shameful and Mr. Trudeau I stand with Ukraine and Canada and I am ashamed of my country that they voted in this horrible person.

My fellow Americans have never had a king before. We were lucky for a very long time. Things are going to become catastrophic. I stand with Canada and the Ukraine, always. Even when he makes saying that illegal (which will come soon).

Respect to Canada ?? from Denmark ?? ?? \nWe stand with you, EU, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan etc and all the countries of the free world. Not with Belarus, USA, Russia, China, North Korea etc

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

Well Trudy, no one likes you in Canada, don't forget what Ukraine is doing with the money and ammunitions from countries, keeping the money and selling weapons 20 cents on the dollar to Hamas and other enemies. Don't try and be self righteous. Ukraine is the most corrupt European country in Europe way before this war, that's why the President won't leave and wants it to continue

Fuck Donald Trump for betraying Ukraine Canada and Europe to appease war criminal Putin .

God help us. I have never seen anything so terrible in my 76 years from any US President. I stand with Canada, UK, Ukraine, and Europe and all our NATO allies that we used to have as friends.

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.

American 100% standing with Canada and Ukraine.

Putin managed to take the U.S. without ever firing shot! All thanks to weak, weak, dementia Don! Ukraine has managed to stave off Russian violence and military action for more than 3 years! The U.S. has turned their backs on their allies and licks the boots of a dictator! The gloves are off! Elbows Up, Canada! ❤️???✊️❤️?? ???

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

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

I am unfortunately American and I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine!! I voted for her!

American here that proudly stands with Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world, especially Ukraine! I did not vote for this lunatic!

US Army veteran here… FDT and much respect to Trudeau as well as love to Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Trump is a Fascist and his very existence goes against everything I swore in my Oath of Enlistment to defend and uphold

“Mabuhay” ❤ Canada and Ukraine….from the Philippines ??.

Maybe it will come to a Russia, Ukraine deal between Canada and the US,people will suffer, die! It's all part of the real plan ! One world order

He (Trump) is a Putin puppet. He's trying to impress his Authoritarian idol. He's trying to turn the U.S.A. into another North Korea. A hermit country. Standing with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico ??.

Americans call your congress and express your disgust with Trump, Musk, Vance and their followers. I am ashamed Canada, Mexico, Ukraine that you are beinging treated like this.?

I wish we had leaders who led like this. Would a kind Canadian come kidnap me please? You don't have to keep me, but please get me out of here. ?\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm ashamed of my president AND my country. I'm thankful, tho, for those who are willing to stand up to the wannabe king. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine - we're sorry and we're rooting for you!

I am an American standing with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico!!!

Proud and patriotic American here! I stand with Ukraine ... and Canada! There is no reasonable justification for Trump's treachery.

I'm a British American. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Europe (and of course Ukraine).

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.

This man is ripping off Canada. He gave another 5 Billion to Ukrain.

Trump is a Russian agent. He has made an agreement with Putin to supply USA instead of Canada. He has stopped aid to Ukraine so putin can take Ukraine and split the rare minerals from Ukraine with USA. That’s why he deliberately stuffed up the deal with Zelenskyy .

This is so embarrassing for us Americans. Not MAGA. Americans. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the rest of the sane world.

So Canada agree to spend over one billion and still get slapped to the face with tariffs.\nYou Think Ukraine signed the peace deal with Russia and expect the war to go away?

Mr. Trump and his team have no intention of doing business with Ukraine, Canada, European Community, England, G7, NATO all.\nCanada has been scorned by Trump, who wants to make Canada the 51st state. Now, Ukraine has been scorned by Trump, ridiculed by the Trump team, etc.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

As an American on very shameful for our president we love you Canada we love you Ukraine

Englishman here! I stand up with Canada, Ukraine, Europe and the free world! (Not you Trump and Russia)

I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, I STAND WITH CANADA , UKRAINE MEXICO. GREENLAND , EU. AMERICAN. HERE.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

Sad American citizen here that didn’t vote for Donald. I wish we had strength like that representing our country. I’m with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

Reporters keep saying that the deterioration of U.S. and Canada relationship is exactly what their adversaries want…. But they are getting this wrong. Trump and Putin are NOT adversaries! They are alleis! \nTrump is planning to do to his neighbors exactly what Putin is doing to Ukraine. The USA is now a dictatorship just like Russia.

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.
