Trudeau: Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don't have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. This is a policy decision by the American government

As an American I can say I'm also completely befuddled as to how anyone voted for him either time. So many of us are with you, sending support to you all and trying to fight the fight. I'm so sorry.
One of his biggest mistakes is thinking that Americans will maintain our sense of pride in our country no matter what he does.
He is wrong.
We are so ashamed.
Be angry at the American people who voted to return Trump to the White House. Their racism and misogyny did this, along with Russia and Musk. Be very angry at them.
Nope, I’m most definitely pissed at folks who voted for the copper cuntnugget. They are without any redeeming qualities. Sadly, still human.
I am not ‘othering’ them. I am holding them accountable. There’s a difference.
I’m fine with otherizing them, we fucking tried to warn them-starting in 2015. I am probably more pissed at the ones who chose not to decide, who still have made a choice. (To paraphrase one of Canada’s greats). Stunned apologies to the free world, from one who understood the assignment.
How come Trump is wagging a trade war with nations like Canada Mexico China and threatening the same with the UK and EU, who trade 100s of billions of dollars with the US, just to get closer to Russia who trade $3.5 billion with them???
Trump has never had to make it w/out daddy feeding his depravity and incompetence. There will be an economic response but much more alarming, when you sucker punch millions of people you are entering a danger zone that this pudgy dickface has never experienced. Unfortunately we are at risk too.
America is a nation industries and we need Canada and everyone’s help to eliminate this regime. A dictator has been put in place with kids that are going crazy. The fleecing of our country.
Well they should be, because the American people voted for this. I'm mad at the American people for this. These tariffs are just too enrich the federal gov't w/more revenue so they can privatize everything & make profit off everything. This has been happening to some degree for the last 40+ years.
Get a grip on Doug Ford planning on shutting down Canadian power to Minnesota, Michigan, and New York. That’s something the people there need every day.
Enough did and that is terribly sad. I want to believe Americans are smarter than that. It really sucks for those of us who saw it coming and warned against a 2nd Trump term. We're treated to the loss and all of our worst fears coming true
Even as a kid, I thought that most people were racist, ignorant, arrogant and it seemed that bullies were rewarded. Truly good people seem kind of rare. I’m not really surprised we ended up here.
I appreciate him being diplomatic, but as a Canadian, I am fucking livid at everyone who voted for this and everyone who didn't vote in the election he won
DH & I watched all of this attentively, except the parts where he spoke French. Used that time to discuss it.
I so miss sanity like this, & a leader I can stand to watch. Couldn't endure SOTU, I had to go to Colbert for the "high" lights.
Wow. I haven't words low enough for 47. We need a new vocab
We have sympathy for what Khing Donald Destruction is doing to the world, so please wake the f..k up America, get off your asses and do something about it
A Danish wag did, offering a trade of Greenland for California.
I haven't met a fellow Californian who didn't wish it was real.
But I think most of us would RATHER be South Canada. https://bsky.app/profile/denmarkification.com
I think he did, back when Trump was talking about seizing part of Canada.
He suggested they might plan a land swap, where California, Washington and Oregon would join Canada and one of the conservative provinces in Canada would swap to the US.
And the important part… “designed to go after the Canadian economy.” Trump is coming for us and he’s using excuses that keep shifting the reason. It’s up to the people there to fix it because Trump won’t stop. He’s attempting a kleptocracy. Wake up
Follow the money. Felon47 has his bootlicker Treasury Scott Bessent collect this tax from us, not CN. It's a 25% import jack-up that is NOT controlled by laws of Congress as literal tax earmarked for an appropriation. Read: Slush fund funneled into a bootlicker in the cult of gaslight and secrecy.
I am. I’m fucking pissed at every American for voted in favor of this shit show. As far as I’m concerned we don’t share the same morals and principles. I want no fucking part of anyone, including my own family members that did this to my kids, their education and by extension their futures.
Suggested edit: "This is a policy decision by the TRUMP government" rather than "the American government." Far from all in the US government! But Pres. Trudeau and his words are so appreciated. 💕
You CHOSE to bring him back after you already knew that he was deeply unqualified and knew who he was - a narcissistic sociopath with no empathy for anyone other human being.
You brought this on yourselves and you have now brought it on us.
Hold on there- yes we hate the US government GOP elected and non elected people and we do hate the idiots who for voted and continue to vote for them. The ones that now realize they voted for the wrong party - we still don't like you and you most likely would be fine if it didn't affect you -
I actually have quite a lot against 2/3 of American adults right now. Those who voted for this, and those who couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. Fuck them all.
I’m glad he said that. We’re still planning to visit Toronto this summer, but only if we’re still welcome. And I definitely don’t want to be mistaken for a Trumper.
I'm angry at the American people. 2/3 of you made this happen. I don't care if it was apathy, or whatever; even if you didn't vote out of protest, it means you're dumb and selfish.
It’s not hard to understand. Trump is a bully with primitive instincts. Everyone that falls into this category or admires it, voted for him. It turns out, we do have a lot of deplorables.
They are willing to inflict pain on themselves and their families to own the liberals (the other side). That’s that mentality. And I say this as someone who used to vote republican. Bygone era.
I listened to his speech. What a contrast to our doofus. They are our longtime friends and allies. If we have some actual beef with them, why isn’t our first step to sit down and talk with them? Why? Because the only way doofus knows how to operate is with bullying. What cowards do.
Thank you Trudeau, you have far more decency than many of my countrymen. We here are angry at about 25% of the population for this bullshit. But overall it is a hostile minority trying to align us with Russia for their own kleptocratic goals. Canadians rock!
There should be no animosity toward the American people, many of whom will suffer far more under Trump's policies. This is a war against the oligarchy in both countries and Trump/Vance as face of the oligarchs' franchise
Canada and Mexico have to take care of themselves and I completely support their decisions to stand up to this administration. Yes it will cause pain for the citizens of the US. That financial pain is only the beginning of the toll US citizens will need to pay until maga come to its senses.
As an American I am ashamed, humiliated, and so sorry. My only trip to Canada (BC) was in 1979. I, and my UK husband, have always loved your country, and probably should have moved then. Stay strong Canada. ❤️🇨🇦.
I disagree. There are plenty of MAGA Americans who are rooting for this blindly & w/ great naivete. Canada SHOULD have something against Trump, his admin., AND his very dumb supporters.
I'm glad to hear him say that. I would understand if he was mad at all of us, I'm glad he isn't. Maybe at some point in the future the damage can be repaired.
They’ll invade you happily if someone in the White House decides to and it will not the first time in history that neighbors are betrayed . Forget the old friendship , adapt and react. The sooner you realize it the better
I tried to apologize for my country and got some pretty nasty responses from Canadians. I know they are pissed but not near as pissed as we are! They all got blocked.
I'm thankful more and more of the free world recognize that Americans are not causing this chaos. If we are going to get out of this mess, Americans are going to need the free world and foreign press to help hold the line against the Trump administrations actions. 🙏🏾
He's trying to be nice. More than 50% of Americans voted for this. Fuck America. Try and invade Canada, and we will mail your teeth back to your families.

But they should treat as an enemy combatant, Rupert Murdoch and his Fox News propaganda machine, whose sole intent is government coups.
I am not ‘othering’ them. I am holding them accountable. There’s a difference.

Another 1/3 were ignorant and so apathetic that they abstained from federal voting.
Two thirds of Americans wear this.
…welcome to the consequences of your actions.
Violating treaties. Demeaning allies. Threatening partners’ sovereignty.
These are the actions of an adversary, not an ally, partner, or friend.
Do better.

WHY is Trump aiming to destroy the economy of Canada and the U.S.? Who does this benefit?
We have sympathy for what Khing Donald Destruction is doing to the world, so please wake the f..k up America, get off your asses and do something about it

Instead, invite states to secede.
He suggested they might plan a land swap, where California, Washington and Oregon would join Canada and one of the conservative provinces in Canada would swap to the US.
Apparently that got Trump to drop the subject. 😉
Although I would argue that in this case, Justin, you do have a few bones to pick with the American people.
You CHOSE to bring him back after you already knew that he was deeply unqualified and knew who he was - a narcissistic sociopath with no empathy for anyone other human being.
You brought this on yourselves and you have now brought it on us.
Shame on all of you.
POTUS is a felon that belongs in prison. He does not deserve to be spoken to and treated like the leader of the free world.
He deserves to burn in hell.
Not Our Dream
You elected this dangerous lunatic mofo
He was not unknown to you
LITERALLY EVERYONE TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
We need to feel the pain to care. So keep standing up for yourself- and keep up with resisting.
It’s our time to start resisting.
This will be a war with casualties on both sides, but economically, the US stands alone now and thus far more vulnerable than Canada and Mexico.
My money is on Canada and Mexico!
Oh...and for a start, the Dow Jones is way down.
We’re pissed!
If you need warm weather in the winter, come to California, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or better yet Mexico and the Caribbean
😃💙🌊🌴😎
It infuriates me when I hear the Maple Magats tearing him down 👿👿👿
no one is saving us from us, but us.
Get into the street and use your voice, loud and often!!
Let’s go people, now!
I hope you folks hit us hard.
Don't be concerned about punishing Americans.
We put this orange turd in the whitehouse, and we deserve our just rewards.
We need to feel the pain so those Americans who voted for this idiot will learn.
