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

Trump is a deranged president who doesn’t care for his nation but for his own greed he’s willing to put the public at risk for his own agenda. that felon is going to lose all support from all the nations of the free world. Amershpukd wake up and realize how much he’s going to hurt your nations economy and well being. This moron will put your country into a recession and the fallout will be grave to your families and economy

The conservative wing of our government is scared of Trump. They were a diminishing rudderless party before him, and now they are fully beholden to him even though they know he's wrecking our economy, wrecking our global collateral and relationships, and wrecking our established systems and processes. They'd rather hold onto their jobs than to push back against him. I hope term limits, and rank choice voting come out of all this, because the American government is fully broken.\n \nTrudeau did amazing here.

First and foremost let’s be reminded that Trump is doing this for Putin in retaliation to what the Biden administration did to Russia with the sanctions for invading Ukraine. Secondly, Trump wants to be King. By weakening our economy and putting millions of people at risk and ruining their lives, he hopes a civil war can be started so that Russia, North Korea and possibly China can attack us while at war with each other and the Federal Government.

Trudeau and Anwar Ibrahim are best friend, hope to see more Canada-Malaysia thriving in economy

Hes damaging the international economy on behalf of his Russian Handlers.

Welp, there goes the economy and the start of another bear market

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.

He is destroying The US from the inside out. No economist or politician in their right mind would make these moves unless they are trying to ruin the economy. Trumps revenge is to take down the United States. there is no other explanation?

I am willing to pay a little more in the short-term to get Canada along with other nations around this globe out of the American taxpayers bucket. Canada's economy is beans to the American economy. \nPiss off

Many, many US citizens are with you and support Canada. Trump is creating this tariff war in a unilateral fashion. We do not support it, we don’t want it and our economy doesn’t demand it. These are foolish decisions made by an unscrupulous businessman turned politician.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting everyone!! Utterly ridiculous! We need our allies and friends just like they need us. These tariffs are jeopardizing our freedom or economy and our security!!!

Trudeau is a WEF globalist...Trump told them all at Davos....Trudeau destroyed the Canadian economy all on his own.

All those comments praising justin’s speaking…..u do realize this is a former drama teacher doing a bad drama and reading a script someone else wrote? This guy systematically drowned the economy and pushed left wing ideology at the cost of everything. Trump is overreacting but Justin’s acting to get a image makeover here. Canadians dont like tariffs imposed but understand that Justin’s idiocracy is also to blame.

Canada is a drop in the ocean that is the U.S Economy. the U.S will not feel the affects of reciprocal tarrifs like canadians will. This is about pride of a single man. Rather than co-operate with Trump, Trudeau has signed a death warrant on his own country's economy.

Should we listen to a man that done so many wonders for the Canadian economy?

This is designed to create a crisis in the essential supplies for the US economy. Trump will declare a security crisis and start an invasion.

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.

where was this when you did all this bs to your own people and ruined you economy, took all the guns and became an oligarch flying around costing your tax payers millions. we do not like you in America. you stepped down for a reason. MADE IN AMERICA. \n]

If only America had a true leader like our Canadian friends. \nThe orange face Nazi is indeed on a mission to destroy the economy all over the world. \nThank you MAGA, you ignorant foolish idiots.

This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

Trump is going to screw up the economies all over the world and it’s not a good time for that

how about Trudeau step down then none of this would be happening. Trudeau & the Liberals have destroyed Canada. Could he leave already? US economy is bigger than Canada idiot.

Canadian here, Trump knows our common border is not a Fentanyl highway. He is deliberately destroying our economies and needs to be held accountable for this. He also needs to be accountable for his ongoing bromance with Putin as disgusting as that sounds. Man is a psycho.

Trump is a idiot their goes the soft landing that idiot gonna tank are economy and make are cost of living and goods sky rocket con man circus show wow ?

Only reason tariffs will hurt the economy is because the masses have been conditioned to buy ? that's not necessary. People have gotten so used to having things done for them that they can't bare to not have everything done for them. The mental stupidity the news keep trapping the zombies is not surprising. When we gotta hunt for our food the weeds will be exposed

Time to move to Thailand world class nature, food, and healthcare ALL affordable! Canada and USA will soon be 3rd world from this needless destruction of our economies…

The trump administration is deliberately destabilising the economy of the USA strongest allies, why? Because he is gearing up to be alighned with the dictator clan ,Russia china, Iran, North Korea.\nThere is something traitorous going on here

Trump is acting destructive everywhere, where he engages. He is destroying his country because the prices in USA will go up quickly and long lasting and their stocks will fall dramatically. Inflation is USA will soar and get out of control. His policies are firing back on his own economy.\n\nCanada will have little ore none impact from these tarrifs, they will overcome this initial shock quickly and recover. They will find better partners and other ways to trade. But USA won't find anybody any more who is willing to deal with him, everybody will avoid engaging with his administration, because they are acting ruthless. Trump isn't considering the ends of his decisions and he obviously doesn't care because he is an irresponsible person without a concience. He won't be able to do harm to other countries than to his own, he only destroys USA, because they elected him and they are following him on his way so far. The opposition in USA will become louder and much more influential and Trump will lose more and more companions in his own party.

Trump snuggles up to Putin, who gives sanctuary to the hackers that extort millions from our businesses, medical facilities and government offices, while attempting to destroy our economy and those of our two largest trading partners. When can we say he is a Russian asset.

A high school teacher explains a billionaire businessman how economy works. ONLY ON CNN! ?

Canada's economy really means nothing to the US but why are we punishing Canada, our closest ally

Trudeau is a jackass. He ignored the warnings until the last minute. Danielle Smith is the sole politician responsible for the delay.\nTrudeau has destroyed our economy. He's chased away $100s of BILLIONS of investment, resulting in $$TRILLIONS of lost annual revenues.\nOnce we are rud of these idiot leftists in power, we will hopefully have an opportunity to reestablish an adult relationship with the world again.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

This teenager is just pathetic. Stamping his infant feet. He needs to grow up. As A Globalist poodle and SCHWAB LACKEY he's put CANADIANS in this position through his destruction of the Canadian economy.

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.

This is going to be tough ! Maybe you shouldn't have made us so dependent on the US and shut down our natural resources and ruined our economy. Nice speech douch canoe

If you know about Donald and his character it’s not surprising. Ignorant voters put him in office, now deal with it. Biden was bad? Donald is worse! MAGA would vote for anything because they have no clue about government and economy. They think a blonde imbecile will be the answer to everything. Putin is the real boss not Donald.

America first!\n Oh no now Canadians won’t be able to afford their 3rd Florida home. Bring it on we’ll see whose economy cracks first.

Good luck to Canada! Wish you make money from stupid Trump economy leadership

The US killing its own economy is quite something. ?

US is still the biggest and strongest economy in the world. Americans will ride this one out. I cannot say the same thing about other countries.

The really sick thing is that it was trump who signed the Free Trade Agreement himself in his first term! This is part of trumps project 2025, put the Canadian economy in shambles to make it easier to ‘annex’, he has a God complex, he will even ruin his own economy so he can fix it before the mid-term election, so he will be a hero! He is a vindictive person who will not honour what he agrees to, he throws out accusations and insults with a sneer and wants to be Putins friend! So many Americans are horrified by their Governor trump! He wants a military base on the Northwest Passage, that is why he wants Canada!

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.

Canada, I stand with you as an American. This is not about fentanyl. Fentanyl is just Trumps excuse to crash the economy and cause chaos.

I AM ???? and we are Resisting this attack on our economy & sovereignty. ELBOWS UP!

What about Canadian home builders who never built homes for customers who signed contracts that have been renting for years only to have the home builder request more money from them. Tell me how that makes sense? What about consumer protection agencies? Are home builders immune from the economy? How is the government allowing this because he had a hospital built putting his name on it that it is sustained by property taxes. Who the hell wants this? Who is going to fix the families ruined by this garbage home builder?

As a Canadian. We know our prime minister is preventing an election by prologuing parliament. He isn't as great as you think. Our little economy is 1.9 trillion half of California's. Were literally only hurting ourselves here with more taxes. aka tariffs. This guy is playing politics to try to get votes. by rallying up nationalism. Trying to play the hero. He's made our lives unaffordable here in Canada for the last 9 years. Housing food bills. Ethics breaches, Chinese payoffs to his parties politicians, spending Canadians money on his friends. Enough of this guy. Quit delaying our election dictator.

American economy will collapse soon. I would take my savings out of my bank NOW, before losing everything.

Trump uses foreign affairs spectacles to distract the public attention from the hardships the economy of the declining U.S. empire causes its citizens. \nHe is the most danngerous person in history, to the foundation of the U.S. \nThe 2 important things to be aware of re: current the situation of the U.S.: \n1. The deccline of the American emmpire and the dennial/ignoring of that fact by the government, business community and mainstream media. \n2. The fact that strikes and demonstrations will not be effective in bringing the required systemic change to the American systems of government and economy, that the American working class needs so urgently and badly. \nThe only way for the working class in the U.S. to change its fate, is by revvolting, and then establishing Soccialism as the system of government and economy: \nOnly through a Soccialist Revvolution can the working class in the U.S. change its current dreadful situation. The working class is about 97% of the population of the U.S. they are many, many millions of people, many more than the employer class, and so they can act and achieve that crucially important goal.
