A trade war with our neighbors and Canada being so kindly predisposed to us.\n\n\n\nBrilliant

Nobody in Canada wants Trudeaux Castro now hes bankrupted Canada ?

Australian here... Go Canada, good to see some class in the world of politics... great media address from your PM.

This needed to be done lets see who suffers more , canada with an economy smaller than texas or usa , canada richest city is poorer than usa poorest city let that sink in .

This is a TRADE WAR that legally takes money out of the Citizen's pockets of Canada and the United States ... Mexico, is a PUPPET of China This is designed by the W.E.F..

Go Canada! A la vi, a la va, a la vim vum vam! PS Cut off gas supply to the US.

Europe and Canada could both hugely benefit from closer trade relations. Imagine what 4 million barrels of oil a day would do to reduce costs for almost everything in Europe.

Trump doesn't accept calls from Canada ofc because this is not about border security nor the 1% fentanyl going into the US. It is about being hawkish and potentially annexation of Canada in the far future. \nThese tariffs make way more sense against Mexico, considering the amount of border issues and fentanyl infiltrating in the US, but tariffs against Canada is just BS.

Funny Mexico said they would defend their interest. In drug and human smuggling? Tariffs work like this. When two countries put tariffs on each other whoever exports more in relation to the other will loose. It’s a math problem. Unless the country has massive stockpiles of cash from the other country. We buy more from China, Mexico and Canada then they buy from us. Just FYI

Europe Mexico and Canada are usa colony ,they are little puppy's and they will obay

Can Canada into the EU?

Belgium has a free trade agreement with Canada, let's boost this partnership

Wa State stand with Canada ??

Canada Vs USA. I bet USA wins, any takers?

It will be okay, years from now Canada will be exporting to its biggest market: Haiti.

Trump is going to put a 100% tariff on Canada, they have no idea who they are dealing with. But they will know very soon!

Look out for trading more with europe. The free trading agreement with europe is in place. Canada already signed contracts to deliver hydrogenium to europe.\nReview the old CETA papers with EU and join the single market!

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Send theme to Canada

I hope Canada follows through with their tariffs. We need to hit those who voted and aided trump - it’s the only language they will understand! Yes, Musk will sue Canada, he’s such a wimp, but trump/musk started this fight!

Trump is just starting.....likely that it will increse further! Justin is very tough now and he will be so until his last day in office.......Canada must fight back to be the 51st state of US........???

The US has been running a trade deficit with Mexico, China, and Canada for almost two decades now—Canada only makes up 6% of all US imports while the US makes up 63% of all Canadian imports.\n\nCanada will have to find more trade partners besides the US if it doesn't want its consumers paying 25% more for US goods, most of which are mechanical machinery, automotive parts and vehicles, minerals, medical equipment, energy products, and consumer goods.

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

I just ran the numbers, Canada exports roughly 19% of their GDP to the U.S.A. the U.S.A. exports roughly 1.3% of their GDP to Canada. I don't think Canada wins.

Canada has been ripping off the U.S. for years. Don't mess with the Don.

Canada is not sorry

Canada should impose a 100% tariff.

Lol canada is gonna be in huge trouble. With bad relations with US and india, canadians better be ready for chaos. They are already in chaos even without these tarifs.

Canada will be crawling back, rest assured.

It’s time for Canada and Mexico and China trade with each other and exclude USA.

No more Tesla for Canada please.

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

I guess Canada does not want to secure their border

Hahaha Canada is going to fold…their economy cannot stand the tariffs more than 6 to 8 days. The US can in house or import everything from other countries. Canada doesn’t have the luxury…the US protects the moment of their goods. \n\nBtw Germany…the US protects the moment of your goods as well…don’t test the US.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

Unbelievable! So there’s hope that I will start seeing Canada as a country one day ?

Canada should work together with the US. Otherwise, it will not be able to handle any risk from enemies.

Could Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan all get together and have a talk with Uncle Sam? I think we need an intervention at this point. Help!

Tariffs made the depression so much worse and longer than it had to be. 1932 all over again. We never learn from the past. Canada should cut power to the northeast ASAP.

We must value friendship and good relationships between America, Canada, and Mexico.

SUPPORT CANADA ?? ❤️. BEST NATION. WE WON'T BREAK. WE WILL ALWAYS PROGRESS.

Good to see Justin standing up against the big Bully Donald Trump. Don't mess with Canada!

The peaceful president, now Marcos Rubio going to Panama to negotiate for the Canal of Panama, going after Greenland, war tariffs with Mexico, Canada and China.

Canada thinks we're in a trade war. That's so cute!

Canada ?? True North Strong and Free! We will fight for our country to the end!!!

Russia has proven it can live without America well over 1700 sanctions and still going! Canada can too!

I’m an American and I like how Canada claps back at the orange clown.?

Canada is more concerned with lilling 400 ostriches

Canada's economy is already on the decline. Trump picked the right time to hammer Canada as it has never been so divided after 10 years of inept governance by a totally inept woke Marxist government led by Trudeau.
