I'm in two minds about this.
ManyAmericans US citizens hate their president, but the taxation on Canadian imports is at best one of the ticked boxes.
Sure, a couple apologies are heartwarming, but in the end I doubt that many will strongly protest against the economical war.
Oh...but still: happy Canaday...erm: Canada day.

Empty social media cries.
Even then, it's just people trying to make Canada's day tied to USA, really. Let them have their day without dragging them into political murk.

Honestly I don't think Canada really wanted to be reminded that America is being stupid right under them.

I never understood the hostility US citizens have towards Canadians - every Canadian I've ever met has been a lovely person, and on TV and in movies they're shown as nice people living in an amazing country. What is there to be angry at? Just jealousy maybe?

It's not US citizens in general, it's conservatives. They view intelligence as intimidating, so they view Trudeau in much the same manner as they did Obama. They also aren't hampered by worrying about facts, so you'll find plenty of idiots who believe Canada started putting tariffs on us first.
I'm not sorry for anything Trump does. Those are his choices. Things are going great between my Canadian friend and myself. Beyond that, I don't see anything that Trump should apologize for regarding Canada. Anything political is full of a bunch of asshats anyways. Can't sit there and think that Canada's politicians are without their faults.
P.S. Speaking of my Canadian friend, @XFlak just had his third child.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
