Is there any rationale behind the tariffs on Canada? Any?

Illinois stands with Canada

Senate Majority Leader John Thune reacted to the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by saying “nothing happens in a vacuum” and he expects there will be “reactions” to President Donald Trump’s move. \n \nMeanwhile, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso refused to answer on whether he thought the tariffs would hurt American consumers. He said people should not be surprised by Trump’s decisions because he ran on them.

I’m British/French and I stand with Canada ??

The housing bubble was fueled by near zero interest rate polich implemented my Mark Carney during his tenure as the head of the Bank of Canada. Yes. That Mark Carney, the same one that is about to come Prime Minister.

Sounds like Canada's housing market is the same as in OZ, a ponzie scheme.

Canada is a virtue signalling dumpster fire now. We went woke and lost it all.

Long live the great state of Canada! Go Canucks!

The *enormous* problem with this video is the idea that _living_ in Canada is the same as the US! If you want to sell your soul and live in a country with rampant crime, gun-obsessed citizens and essentially zero social safety net, go nuts! Canada has a lifestyle which is far more aligned with Nordic countries than it is with the US; polite discourse, care for the needy and elderly, and a far greater desire for work/life balance. Higher GDP per capita is _irrelevant_ *if you have a basically dysfunctional civil society to go with it* .

Canada has basically 2 army divisions, the US has 4 paratroop divisions, and the planes to deliver them. 51st state is serious as it gets.

Canada is a direct neighbor with Denmark also we have a land border less than a KM long

Canada is an woke, activist, economic wasteland.

Blame Canada!

You can’t compare Europe, Canada or any other countries with USA. Because USD is global reserve currency, USA has highest productivity and hence got biggest gdp per capita compared to any other major economy.

Am I going insane or was Canada getting the exact opposite videos made about it a mere few years ago? I see the same happening with Australia now on YouTube

Canada has painted ourselves into a corner, and there is no end to the painting in sight.

High real estate prices have fueled hidden corruption by all levels of government. Until you try to build something you just can't imagine the fees and cost of regulation compliance. Since values keep rising there are more hands out demanding more by all levels of government. Another (sort of) related issue that has been ignored until recently has been Trudeau's reparations to First Nations. He has manipulated the courts and civil service to acquiesce to whatever is demanded. The province of BC just ceded sovereignty to an Island chain (Haida Gwaii) to an indigenous group that is against virtually any economic development. Northern Canada, as vast as is, is essentially blocked from new resource development. Every investment, including housing development, needs approval from, usually in the form of a payment to, an Indian Band. The level of corruption here is at South America levels.\n\nI think the unsaid part about excessive immigration levels the last few years was that was used to mask what the government was doing.

Yup, Trudeau and the rest of the Liberals have really done a number on Canada.

Canada will be taken by force. Whatever sacrifice we have to make will be paid back several times by the nation’s wealth of natural resources. Empires are back in style, and the whole third world is on the table, Canada included.

Annex Canada, they are useless eaters.

I'm tired of Canada being compared to the US and no one else. Yes, the US is more productive, richer and powerful than Canada, everyone knows that. But they're also all those 3 things to every other economy in the world! Don't stop comparing Canada to the US, but for god's sake, could you throw in some European and Asian countries too?

There is no way you can cover the economic situation of Canada in 14 minutes. \n\nThe housing crisis is actually caused by a 1982 change in a public policy about financing housing and specifically to move away from public housing to have a strictly financing the mortgages \n\nThis means that when we had the 2008 housing collapse banks for completely bailed out with no public input compared to the United States

Canada's economy is dying really fast.

Dont go to canada. No one is getting PR. You will just get deported

For real Canada dumped them hear . Close the border

Trump please stop the busses from bringing the migrants in from Canada. Please

This is disgusting. You don’t treat your delivery person like that. Cannot believe this happened in Canada. The guy kept his patience very nicely, I mean anyone could have cursed back right ?

WAKE UP CANADA ?? AND CLEAN UP YOUR BOARDERS. ANOTHER CORRUPT COUNTRY. GEEZ

About time Canada steps up and starts doing whats right. Treaudo is a POS

He’s lucky that Canada doesnt have gun culture like the US

I wonder how they had the money to fly to Canada?

I live in Canada and even being most likely a victim of the US sanctions together with my family and millions other Canadians and permanent residents, I can't be pissed with the American government, We also have been suffering with a weak, corrupt incompetent leader, that we hope can be put back to his insignificance sooner.

Canada cannot survive without Indian professionals, techies, workers and students who control the economy of Canada .so canada has no way but to depend on Indians

Canada needs to keep their migrants. America is full.

Fake story. twisted. maybe the USA should stop sending tons of drugs and thousands of handguns in to Canada on a regular basis.

16000 is nothing compared to the the migrants from the USA coming to Canada...

Tyrant citizen Trudeau is in Ukraine give money to dictator zilinsky Send many to canada deport Biden ilegalscto canada communist poverty

But I though Canada had free healthcare???? ????

Even more illegal migrants are going from the USA to Canada.

Guaranteed there are more immigrants coming through the US to Canada

A Cruel Canada has too few Mexican restaurants and snow all over the grassy lawns.

Yeah but I hope the illegal immigrants trying to cross the border into Canada are also not being let in. Are we still letting them migrate here as refugee's because that's my real question is Canada also keeping them out? they should be.

Blame Canada

Why don't they stay in Canada?

Its actually incredibly easy for someone to get a student, or work visa from Africa, and come to Canada.
