Canada hosts the G7 in June. It would be hilarious if it were the G6, disinvite the USA, and have a huddle among the rest to strategize.

CANADA trying to make a quick buck off the backs of their citizens and telling them to stick together!! what a joke !!! Canada is already tax-gouging their citizens and now they want them to bend over for them!!!

Canada speaks as if they had any chance of winning this battle. The GDP and the consumers difference is huge. Canada is but a temporary discomfort for USA. Canada can’t win this battle. Just get the freaking border and the fentanyl under control

Come on America, forget Mexico and Canada, you have enough resources, just put up there tariffs 1000 percent

I'm just speculating, but obviously Trump's stated reasons for the tariffs against Canada don't reflect his real strategy. He wants to exert maximum pain and pressure on the current liberal government in Canada so that its more likely a conservative like Poilievre will get elected. Then, he'll end the tariffs handing him a victory and thus solidifying a conservative influence. Maybe. In any case, he wants more influence over Canada and its unnerving to watch.

one of the stated reasons for Trumps tariffs is to get Canada and Mexico to stop illegal immigration and to stop drug trafficking into the US

Time for Canada to diversify its exports away from the USA. There is urgency for Canada to declare a national economic urgency and build pipelines from coast to coast to bring its energy to Asian and European markets. It is late but nerver not too late to get free from its bully neighbour

People blaming canadian borders ? too funny.. they cant even figure out their own border and want to blame canada. How many people from america are running here? Trump be smoking fent.

Good luck for Canada, Mexico & China...how long you will survivor without US?

I actually get the tariffs on Canada and the EU. We defend them and they make fun of us for not having free health care. Well guess what we defend you to have that free health care cause your countries won’t spend the money to defend you guys. Once you guys invaded free health will be gone. What’s better. Being free from Russia or a slave to them forever and afraid of them invading.

In 6 months the America economy will be booming and Canada will become a failed state. Check back in on my comment on August, 2nd, 2025.

Its time for Canada to remember its east coast and come back with your money.

Well, I think Trump is right, TARRIF should be a two way system, if any country don't want to apply it is for their own good. Canada should realize how to protect itself and trade across the world. We have seen Trade Embargo how it works.

Canada, remove the discount (add a premium) on US oil and energy sales.

Theres good and bad in every race and some countries have literally sent their criminals to America. Australia. UK, NZ. Canada. et al.

Sorry Canada, I'm American like the 50 percent of Americans who can't stand Donald Vonshiztenpants. Canada is a Beautiful country, I've visited often.

Canada is a free loader cant even keep up with the nato budget. They should trade with Russia

Canada Joining the Euro ???? Looks like a match made in Heaven !!

The best thing for General Motors to do is move their whole operation into Canada. We have trade agreements with the EU and Asia Pacific. They can only benefit from our stance and suffer from the US stance.

Well done Canada and Mexico ?fElon Trump is going to destroy his voter bass. Unreal

There’s nothing Canada can do when they have a surplus of 150 billion with US so if US put terrace at 25% and can put Terrace at 25% then Trump put it at 100 who’s gonna feel the pinch everything that has American they have gas they have wood they have all the minerals of Canada has they don’t need Canada for anything. And you think that I’m proud of American. I’m actually Canadian but I’m a realist needs America America doesn’t need Canada.

US .put 25% tariff on Imports from Canada.\nCanada put 25% tariff on Exports to US.\nBoth additional fee will be passed to American citizen to pay eventually.

Trump will find out Mexico and Canada won’t be like island of Taiwan!

Canada should sell to Europe and arab countries. Everyone should stick together against this trump bully.

is Trudeau playing the 'my dad can beat up your dad', while stomping his foot? I love Canada, and Canadians are frankly, terrific. If this leader in all his years of bing PM has made one good decision, I'd say it is time to get yourself a new PM.

Pierre will flip as soon as he's elected, hes already been in talks with Musk. \n\nEnjoy becoming the 51st state, Canada.

I like the fact that Canada is targeting stuff that will primarily impact the red states :)

Maybe Canada should stop playing games as they have been for years and hit the 2 Percent of GDP for NATO, there pretty much STILL at the bottom of the list expecting the U.S to protect them!

I‘m sure there will be other countries that can replace Canada and Mexico imports. It’s an opportunity really. Canada and Mexico just need to stop the fentanyl and illegal immigrants, or are they saying they can’t manage these.

Canada, sell the oil and gas to Europe. We will be gladly buy them.

This was the correct decision because the US wants bring jobs back to the USA. Jobs in Mexico vs USA trump will choose jobs in the US; Politely subsidized lumber from Canada vs lumber from the USA easy decision; Dairy from Oh' Canada , a short term squeeze. On behalf of all US citizens I would like to thank the people of El Mehico and Oh' Canada for the help in the disentanglement.

Who roots for Canada? Of course

Canada tariff on US?

We will do what is best for us now. Trade on an equal level no more super leveled on Canadas side.

canada will bow down

Brics Canada?

SLAVA CANADA SLAVA MEXICO

Canada should raise the price today for oil and electricity that goes to the US by 50%.

CANADA ?? IS RICH IN RESOURCES. WE WILL SEE HOW THE 400 MILLION AMERICANS SURVIVE WITHOUT CANADIAN SUPPLIES.

Trudeau has been on his farewell tour while he still has access to the treasury rather than dealing with this.\nBut he has shown a tendency to run away from problems rather than tackling them so this is par for the course.\n\nHe is a lame duck, who will be replaced by an equally weak (and unelected !) 'leader' on March 9th, then whether or not the government falls depends on yet another weak leader, this time of one of the opposition parties.\n\nAs Canada and Mexico diversify their trade networks to make up for this, the US will be pushed into isolation. Here in Canada, the world is hungry for our energy and willing to pay full value, not the $14/bbl discount the US currently enjoys.\n\nHope it was worth it.

Go Canada ?

YES!!!! Thank you!!! Never cave to a bully!!! Canada and Mexico should both join BRICS!! Trudeau has nothing to lose anyway!

I support Mexico and Canada , so sad the states must need tariff wars , be hard on his own people

Canada and Mexico should negotiate a free trade agreement with China and use Chinese Yuan as exchange currency

Canada cant survive without living off the American tax payer.. dafukouttahere, hope Pres Trumps slaps the tariffs to ? ..sick and tired of the world living off the USA.

Why does Canada bother with Tariffs on US goods?\nCost and CO2 pressures demand that Canada review its costs situation with energy and oil into the USA.\nMany costs have risen and they need to be passed on in a per mega Watt and Mega Barrel basis.\nFurthermore. Canada must step up its electrical and oil supply system maintenance to include twice daily stoppages to US bound energy so that system safety and performance is controlled.\nNext.\nCanada has a clear obligation to the USA to prevent a Russia/EU dependency occurring. So further stoppages to service delivery require urgent implementation.\nDo not worry. Emperor Trump will not sue. The US Lawyers know now they will not be paid by Trump.

Game on. Time to bankrupt Mexico. It is a failed narco state. Canada? Nice people, but their woke leaders have neglected their responsibilities to the point over half of Canadians want to join the United States. I think the Canadian political class has lost control of their country, and like the US Democratic Party, they are out of touch with the common sense citizen who just wants to work, take care of their families and live in peace with their neighbors.

Prime minister of Canada gave a great response to trump now that's intelligent spence

Time for Europe to step up and make better deals with Mexico and Canada... make it easier to ignore tRump.

To the good people of Europe, the message is clearer than ever. Under this president the USA is no longer a reliable or rational player in international trade. Trade with reliable and rational countries and leaders. Canada is still your ally and friend.
