This isn't so much about us. I watch everybody's business. So I know that in Canada Indians are the Mexicans. They want Indians out..

This is why Phil and ALL others have no business joining in on this. It's one thing to protest against immigrants in the US, but it has consequences.

The most irritating thing is, these dumbs spent lakhs of lakhs rupees to get USA soil illegally. They could easily establish a business in here with that amount of money.

Not these people, to busy trying to turn their country into Europe.

I ran into my neighbor elderly lady with her 16 year old granddaughter. Just shooting the breeze tells me her granddaughter 16 years old put out countless job applications not one single reply all summer no employment because every small businesses and franchise restaurants all employe Punjabs and indians your taking our jobs now get the Fuc out my country you slimmy scumbags

If US do not want immigration legal or illegal from other countries, United States of Terrorism should stop interfering in other counties and mind their own MOFO business. Let all countries progress on their own and stop creating conflicts so they can sell their weapons to feed the next generation of untied states of Terrorism.

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

7.6 million have orders to leave. And then you have the visa over stays .We're gonna be busy for a while.

whatever they do in their personal lives is not my business but when the federal government is paying for elective surgery thats a problem

India is helping turn Russian crude oil into diesel and gasoline for the global market.\n Despite Western sanctions, Indian refineries are benefiting from Russia's reduced oil prices and Reliance Industries is among the major beneficiaries due to cheap Russian oil.\n While Russia earns about $10 billion a month from oil exports to India, the Indian population does not directly benefit from the crude oil deal. But what does India gain from this shady business, in which one of the richest men in the world is also heavily involved? Who on the subcontinent benefits? And does the Indian population also benefit from this crude oil deal?

Shameful they way they have their hands in cuffs and legs in chains. \n\nIdiots should have used all the money they wasted in starting a business in India.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

Everyone needs to contact the Chamber of Commerce! They have drifted from America’s interests, to big businesses interests, who want cheap labor!

They being rejected because they get in and do not want to leave”.\nIndians want to live outside India because they can succeed with n caste system in their way. \nIn the U S Indians can achieve high educations, own business or create wealth for themselves and live in big houses, have $ to have family live very well .\nThe problem is that Indians overstay their visa’s and they have also entered the U S illegally by way of Canada & through Mexico.\nThere are entire Indian communities in America, restaurants, clothing shops , synagogues and many businesses that cater to Indian culture. \n \nIn the end, many are residing in America illegally and they have violated U S immigration laws.\nTrump peas elected by the vote , will of the American people, and Americans want people here Illegally removed.

Why don’t the government look and see how many days a week how many years we work and so you know what let’s give this family since they’re not making as much as a rich family and let’s go to this upper class Rich family at work hard let’s give them a break where they need it see People can’t spend money or throw money at certain things and expect people to get by but if you wanna come somewhere, why do they do it like this because they see the blacks act crazy in America that’s why they thought they could come to America and do the same thing. It’s common damn sense manjust like a white collar criminal he’ll look in the face and tell you that there’s nothing he can do and there’s a lot he could’ve done and did and do.? but the problem is we need to stick together as people and not let our jobs dictate who we are and make us think we’re better than the average person that only makes $30,000 a year and can’t buy their children the nicest things that they would like because the most important thing to them is having a roof over their head and paying the bills and that’s what upsets me with people in this world they got all this help to fight drugs they got all in the world to fight this, but what about the little guy? What about the little woman the little family guy look out for them?? can’t just say oh here’s church food that shit ain’t good enough. I’m very thankful to the churches that help people with some of them food banks even a church knows it doesn’t help it gets them bye and if you think getting by is healthy when you can’t work a good day because your stomach‘s so low because your children are more important to eat than you? this is why America can’t take care of their own because they’re too busy taking care of the fake

right!-----US businesses---big and small helped drove illegal undocumented immigrants to work for them..for low to nothing pay, to avoid paying the proper tax, avoid the hassle of process of legal workers. You should look into those businesses hiring illegal undocumented immigrant and workers!

BRING BACK BUSINESS TO USA

People backing business decisions from a multi bankrupt orange clown!???? ????

Sorry, the US is out of business. Go away !!! ?

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

Why can't the country use the tariff to offset the other country ...and put the money back to those businesses affected ??

The analogy is like this:\n This is like 2 mom and pop hardware stores serve a rural community (Mexico and Canada) in harmony. Now Home Depot comes in with lower prices and better selections. The small business owner looses out to the dismay of the community.

This is absolutely the stupidest law ever. These people are thieves and felons and should be thrown directly in prison. Obviously this woman has plenty of money and this man does too why because they don’t pay their rent. I would place a lien on this guys business and if he wants to keep it and not make a bad name for himself, he’ll pay up. The woman I would take her to the cleaners she’s very well groomed and dressed, beautiful weave, keeps up on her looks, that’s for sure. Take her to court and sue the crap out of her too…losers!

Shows Trump means business.

Probably Nigerian for they have a secret society against America. They have ties to Iran, hezbollah, Syria. They are the big business money individuals.

So worried about our BCP officers, they have families, America should act as Poland in Europe, now Poland is safest country in Europe, girl can walk on the street alone at 10PM, other business owners is very active day to night.

Trudeau (Liberals, NDP, Quebec) was caught for his work undermining the Canadian businesses. Unprepared. Too late now but once he is gone build the pipelines East, get customers from friendlier nations.

well there is trade with Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Mexico that could bypass it all. If USA were not busy being Israel's poodle and guard-dog trying to make an American empire all over the world, much of it to serve Israel, then they could deploy their troops all over the border with their ridiculously large amount of law enforcement agencies and personnel (ICE, FBI, ATF, State Troopers etc) and stop all drugs and criminal gangs flooding in.

I fell bad for my friend, Art Vandelay. He's an importer/exporter. His business will be most effected.

Comment section is quite hilarious lol. Canadians are saying “No more USA product!” on Youtube (USA company). Most businesses use Microsoft (USA company). Majority of data is stored in Amazon (USA company). Smart devices use Nvidia chips (USA company). I’m not trying to favor USA but people gotta know that it’s really really hard not to use USA goods.. especial businesses

I always viewed Canada and US as brothers, elder being a bully and the younger just going about its business. I never ever thought it will come to this... and If he occupies Greenland it will also loose the EU. What if BRICS and EU goes against US? Initially it might bring more jobs and money to US but this will be the last nail in the coffin, for some reasons I feel the beginning of the end for US has begun.

Dont blame Trump for all this. Blame President Lincoln, Wilson, Taft for creating taxes. Roosevelt for enacting a bill into law for charging taxes to the American people for social security, Reagan for shutting down factories in US & leaving US to foreign Countries for cheaper cost. Bush, Obama, Biden for bad foreign trading policies & bad spending usage, budgeting of our tax payers money that put US in dept by the trillions. These past Presidents were running our Country into the ground at our expense. President Trump is getting back our Country out of Debt. Alot of reforms needs to happen. Decrease taxes on everything, make startup business easy to survive & sustain. Enact bills into laws to control all Corporations from overpricing their goods to consumers. Lower all consumer goods. Give tax breaks to all business. Taxes should come from other Countries & zero from the American peoples pockets, end to taxing the American people. ✊️

Trump predicted that Uncle Joe ruined the economy and stock market should crash this year. He is on the way to crash the economy. Then he will lower the tax for businesses as he already planned it. There is no next turn for Trump anyway. He will make sure not to leave any rightly placed stone unturned.?

Canada and Mexico can now look forward to 50% tariffs. You're playing right into Trump's hand. You're going to be out of business sooner than later.

WHY ONLY 10 % ON CHINA.\nMaybe because Ivanka is doing business there

Yea I don’t believe it’s the fentanyl that’s the issue Trump has, I believe it’s the business with China. China is using the benefit of both of these countries free trade agreement and Trump is punishing Canada and Mexico for it.

Canada should say: we are much more peaceful country than the USA and tell foreign investors to invest/ open business in Canada instead of the USA. A peaceful secured country without domestic and foreign criminals.

Perfect!\nCanada can reorganize their business and trades to EU instead.\nWelcome to Europe Canada! ??❤???

Not a Trudeau fan here but I think this is the right response. Although this whole business will most hurt those who are already in deep financial crisis.

If you want to stop illegal immigration require employers to have an ID on file for anyone they hire and confiscate any business that fails to do so. If you want to stop opiate overdoses, stop pharma companies from bribing doctors to prescribe then. If you want to stop your economy just keep on Trumping.

People dont understand what a trade war means for everyone globally. Not only do tariffs result in inflation, they also mean that businesses are either reluctant to invest or cant due to thin margins. Effectively causing a global slowdown. We're entering interesting times

Australian here. The US ranks alongside China as an unreliable trade partner, and I think it would be a huge risk for countries to assume that the US would honour any security pacts.\n\nAll branches of US Government are corrupted:\n\n1. Supreme Court - what would happen in your country if a justice of the highest court in your land was found to have accepted millions of dollars in financial benefits from a billionaire with business before the court.\n\n2. Whitehouse - a convicted felon is currently the President and he is supported by people who can’t even convince him the reality of who pays tariffs.\n\n3. House of Representatives - name one piece of legislation of significance that has emanated out of the House in 4 years? How many ridiculous fishing expeditions have they pursued for the sake of political gain. Responsible for withholding aid to Ukraine for months.\n\n4. Senate - confirmed the appointment of several cabinet members devoid of the requisite experience for their role, including an ex tv host to head up Defence who has issues for alcoholism, fidelity, was head of a veterans group charged with financial mismanagement, is accused of ra8e, and has white supremecy tattoos on his body.\n\nNot a country you can rely on.

Eu Needs Gas , canada needs Cash ?so do Business with EU , USA NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON

Mexico and Canada have to explain first to US what measures they have taken in order to halt the drug and human trafficking. It seems that for them this is a flourishing business.

Saddly Canadian corporate Culture dictates that Business have to make ther decisions based solly on profit. So many will just relocate the the US and abandon Canada all togeather...

?CAN can't escape... check timeline .. \nRight after CAN announced business team to visit China for more trade .... \n----> Huawei CF0 drama

Trump is copying North Koreas business model. ?

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

Hard, but right decision. Trump will loose partners, businesses and trigger inflation in the USA

Hey Mexico and Canada! Raise your tariffs!! so America can raise its Tariffs to 100%!!!! We can live without your business, but you can't live without ours!!! So let's go!! raise em!!!
