This man has my blessings if he wants to raise it further, against Donald and the American people!!!!!!Is what Donald implementing another form of terrorism???Just asking

Remember all the discussions and debate about implementing tariffs on our closest trade partners and allies during the campaigning of the last election. I don’t either…. That must have been discussed on a private call with Putin. Makes no sense otherwise. This is terrible for US end the west overall.

it is more effective for Canada to implement 1000% tariff on Tesla and other Elon's product than the common 25% tariff on pan US products.

Astonishing contrast in leadership styles. Trump is trapped in his unsophisticated redneck style. He has to enact bull-in-a-chinashop approach to just about everything. It would appear that Trump is implementing a Russian agenda, discarding traditional allies to curry favor with despots.

Castros illegitimate child just said US tariffs will hurt Anericans... then this moron implements tariffs on US goods....guess what moron that will then hurt your people and economy ? libtard logic ...oh and hes on tje way out so we care what he says...yeah not at all ?...canada makes me laugh

President Musk planning to buy up American and Canadian interests that will fail because of these tariffs his puppet is implementing.

President Musk planning to buy up Canadian interests that will fail because of these tariffs he is implementing.

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

Neither I am a fan of President Trump nor his supporter. \nJust want to say this, if Trump's implemented tariff is backfiring economically, why would someone choose the same path for his own people??

Using the drug war to implement AI surveillance on us all…

How do you protect Canada from inflation and job loss? Give the ideas that Canada can implement

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

Thanks for making it clear what you did right but not making it clear on what the US administration wanted from you that you said no to that caused the tariff implementation. It's possible you miss 50% of your illegal border crossings into the u.s. since so much of your border isn't secured. The 1900% increase in illegal crossing in the past few years doesn't look very good. It's dumb to assume you did everything right and then the u.s. just randomly decided they'd continue with the tariffs for fun. Be more honest and say where you put your foot down so the American public can better understand what is going on.

There's a 97% reduction in the fentanyl trade compared to December ?. The U.S. should then ask why these measures weren't implemented earlier

Liar47 is implementing these tariffs thinking he can mislead and/or convince putin/russians to overlook all u.s transgressions against russia since the early nineties and work as a friend of the usa...\nThis is a quintessential example of the danger of believing what you think and/or your own narrative outcome... \n This liar47 created western dog and pony show is transparent to the non-european world...\nNEWS FLASH to all western players in this game... a] russia will never be a western world ally or trusted friend--it would be fatal, b] russia will not betray brics nations, c] russia will not stop selling military weapons and essential support to natural resource rich southern hemisphere nations...\nIt's a fools objective spearheaded by the genius-in-charge...

Most of us did not vote for this! We recognize your predicament and do not blame you for having to implement like tariffs! Keep Canada strong. Most of America is behind you including me.

Trudeau is a joke and trump knows it. You simple minded Canadians think Trudeau cares about Canada? Then why in spite of implemented tariffs is he still jacking up carbon tax April 1st? Wake up

AND ANOTHER THING...there are nations on earth where each family is Obligated to have a firearm in their home, with mandatory military service required from all males for a period of time. These measure should be implemented in Canada IMO

USA has also implemented a 25% tariff on Australian steel and aluminium, which our industry leaders & politicians are not happy about!

cut all consumer imports from the US. implement EXPORT tariffs on energy & minerals.

Putin to DJT…..”implement the tariffs on Canada & Mexico or I will release the pee tapes.”

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

100% tariffs should be implemented on any Tesla exports.

do you really think that trump will implement these tariffs without thinking??? you should think twice.... your country will be bankrupt in a year.

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

Eliminate all carbon taxes you implemented otherwise your words to us mean nothing……

Trump, this is how to implement a Border Bill………A*H*

I'm sorry but how are we able to implement all that border control measures with such a short amount of time to catch teeny tiny grams of Fentanyl but we can't stop the truckloads of stolen cars from leaving our borders? Can you make this make sense too?

Putin is watching while eating popcorn, his Trump plan in implementation.

Quite hypocritical, Canada is implementing a 26% Carbon tax increase on all goods come APRIL 1st and Carney thinks thats low. Our government has been doing this to Canadians since April 2019.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

If tariffs are a tax on the people of the country that implements them, why are Canada and Mexico retaliating with tariffs?

Should need approval from Congress to implement this type of economic policy.

Canada We know it’s not You! Unfortunately because Racism is Ingrained in the fabric of America, We are here yet Again?? Because a vote for An Orange cheetah is just insane. They thought by voting for Orange boy the stuff being implemented would only affect people of color. Check Your hearts America God is Aware of who is whom & Judgement it at the Door??

Lol, so tariffs are a bad thing for the country, but ok for them to implement on theirs, lol!!!! Feed me more BS. Its about who they hurt more. Believe me, its Canada that will feel it more. The US will have more companies popping up to fill the gap.

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

If we compare Trump’s tariff policies with the approach taken during Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act (1930), there are striking similarities and key differences in terms of economic impact and global consequences. Here’s a comparison:\n\nSimilarities:\n\t1.\tProtectionist Goals:\n\t•\tBoth Trump’s tariffs and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act were implemented to protect domestic industries by imposing heavy tariffs on foreign goods.\n\t•\tSmoot-Hawley raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, while Trump has imposed significant tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU.\n\t2.\tRetaliation by Other Nations:\n\t•\tAfter the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, U.S. trading partners retaliated with their own tariffs, leading to a massive decline in U.S. exports.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are already facing retaliation from Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU, which could slow down global trade.\n\t3.\tMarket Instability & Economic Risk:\n\t•\tThe Smoot-Hawley tariffs are widely believed to have exacerbated the Great Depression by restricting global trade and worsening economic conditions.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are triggering stock market declines, price inflation, and global trade tensions, raising fears of a potential recession.

Why didn’t Canada implement theses protections from Fentanyl before the US initiated Tarrifs

Drug use in America, particularly the fentanyl crisis, is a significant issue that requires attention from the government. If American citizens weren't using fentanyl, the demand for it in the market would decrease. However, during his administration, Trump often shifted responsibility for problems rather than addressing them directly. Additionally, the tariffs he implemented had widespread negative effects, impacting people both domestically and globally for the benefit of his administration.

You should have implemented all the tariffs.

US implemented 25% to hold Canada accountable to your promises of halting illegal immigration and fentanyl/drugs crossing the boarders. The two of you must not have had a good meeting!!

We are being run by a communist puppet of Putler laughing his head off in the kremlin and heaping praises on his KGB back 50 years ago for cherry picking Forest Dump and implementing everything their wildest dreams could imagine \nAnd watch next step you will see Russia will be supplying oil to USA and other eras resources they stole from Ukraine

How lame and stupid? \n\nGo down to the Oval Office and negotiate an MRA. Negotiate and get it signed by the EOY, similar to what our Honourable PM Modi has done. \n\nAs simple as ABC. Trump came to power with the rhetoric he is implementing today.

Canada will fold with in a month or two. Canada is sucking american from trade deals of decades. Canada is a triad on dairies they can sell their milk,butter,etc in the United state but we cant sell our dairy with out tariff implemented by the canada government. Look it up.

Tit for tat. If you want to get rid of tariffs let's get rid of tariffs on your side and that's all of your tariffs that you have implemented on our products for years. Bridges leveling the playing field. So it's okay for you to impose tariffs on others but not for us to impose tariffs just like you do to us

Order out of chaos, all you have seen for the last 5 years was deliberate so that they can implement the AI government system will you will be a bio-metric number.

Ok Trudeau, if Canada is implementing a tariff as well does that mean Canadian will also stop paying taxes like Trump is doing in the US?

Bravo, Canada. Close the border, implement double tariffs, and set a date of May 1 to cease ALL trade with the U.S.

trump stated yesterday he was implementing tariffs because canada is stealing americann jobs and americas money. nothing about drugs. its not about that. he just wants to destroy everyone elses economy. he is destruction
