The US has a trade deficit around $1 TRILLION. So, this isn't anything personal against Canada; I think Trump wants to impose tariffs on ALL imports to encourage domestic manufacturing and flip the trade deficit. He's just using situations of importance to also gain political leverage.

As an Indian I support Mexico and Canada govt

I don’t like to see us kicking Canada when they’re so clearly already down.

Who going to buy 79% of Canada goods exported to USA?

Canada is a drain on the US. Trump knows the numbers. Its not an equitable partnership. The US is broke and its not sustainable anymore.

This American woman is pleased Canada's fighting fire with fire. Dump cannot be allowed to bully our allies without consequences!

We are proud to have Prime Minister Trudeau lead the charge against the bombastic Trump trade war. It is unlikely that our MAGA Conservative leader, Pierre Poilieve, currently supported by Elon Muskrat and many of Trump's cronies, could ever deal with a trade war that would defend Canada.

The reason trump can get away with it is, Canada, Mexico and China export way more goods to the US than we do to them. They're going to pay a lot more over time. Trump knows he has them by the gonads.

Canada and Mexico should trade directly with each other via marine shipping and bypasses the US altogether! Just saying

Go Canada!!!

Canada? You mean Neo-India?

Dammit my tacos here in San Antonio bought to go up. Mexico and Canada bout to FAFO hahahahaha

As an American, GO CANADA!!!

Wrong move by parasitic Canada. The counter tariff will not work. Canada can switch it's economy to China. See what will happen.

Canada causing their dollar to decrease. Yikes

sooooo, exlude the states, and , we will tariff also, canada should send a bill for the cali fires...ungrateful bustard's....i say NO more help

Canada didn't subsidize exports, steal intellectual properties or use forced labor. Trump is despicable to charge tariff on them bigger than China.

Canada should add a 100% on Tesla and start importing Chinese EVs. We can import all we need from Asia and Europe, especially China for a portion of the price. Canada should also Cut the import of oil and power to the states and start selling to europe instead. That will teach Trump a lesson.

?? Canada stands with Mexico.... Boycott American products... Drink Tequila, Canadian Beer, French wine and Schnaps....❤️

Always talk softly, and carry a big stick. Unfortunately, in this situation Canada is speaking softly but really only has one stick -oil - but they didn’t use it; yet.

Canada will not survive long in my opinion. Their economy will tank. US should be able to replace most of canada import from their own production soon.

And then there is that issue of Canada’s trade surplus with the US.

Bring it on Canada. U will lose. MAGA!

We all stay strong in Canada. Shame on you, Trump.

North America is exploding economically because of Trump. It is mostly the Americans who would suffer the most because Canada and Mexico has more safety nets for its citizens than US. Trump voters, if this is what you voted, good luck for more four years of chaos.

Trump shut down Canada and Mexico border. Game over. USA got ports to bring goods in from other countries. Mexico and Canada prices will go through the roof. Find a different trade route to each other and it won't be by land..

Well done Canada, dont let the bully get away!

Canada and Mexico were BOTH warned about the tarriffs because of illegal immigration and drugs entering the States BECAUSE OF CANADA AND MEXICO.. it is no wonder that USA are doing this to you, quit complaining and learn that you CANNOT comply with illegal behaviour!

Trump promised retaliatory tariffs in response to Canada's tariffs. So what will the new tariffs be: 50%? USA will be hurt by Canadian tariffs, but given its smaller economy, in four years, Canada will be economically destroyed by US tariffs. Canadian dollar, which is 1.45 to the US dollar, may soon rise to 1.8-2.0, and Canada's leading bankers have said that Canada is looking at high interest rate and recession.

We should cancel the F-35 and P8-A and replace them with European and Canadian made aircrafts. Also Air Canada should be forced to cancel their Boeing orders and replace them with Airbus.

Canada will continue to trade with Mexico, the European Union, the UK, Australia, South Korea, India ( which is the worlds largest population) and the list goes on and on. Canada now has a new opportunity to create new trade relations, find trustworthy customers and build a stronger economy with diverse trading partners.

Canadian here ... I'm so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canadians stand united from the threat from the usa and are prepared to stay the course however long that is. Perhaps it's time Canada uncouples our economy from the usa and diversify asap ... We Canadians are already choosing Canadian products and boycotting all usa products

canada and mexico can look to india and europe for selling some goods

And if you want to know more about Canada, just let me know. I was born and raised in Alberta province. I have fell out of friends and the US

We need this in CANADA!

Canada GDP Per Capita: $40000\nIndia GDP Per capita: $3000\n\nCanada Nominal GDP: $2.2 Trillion\nIndia Nominal GDP: $4 Trillion

Venezuelans were coming peacefully legit with paperwork\nAnd the Usa is turning them down .\nAnd this is why you’ll never run Canada Trump

USA should ban direct entry to Canadians because most of Islamist have got assylum in Canada which is threat to US.

Canada is now India 3.0

Hi friends i really need job opportunity in Canada

Many murderous found haven in canada.

Too many Indians in Canada. Canada finds itself with families of seniors and other family members, some disabled, all thrown upon our Healthcare system. The Student Visa scam has practically broken our economy. The cause of these people roaming over the world is that there are simply too many of them. The Canadian Government should step up and say no more Indians coming to Canada.

There are lots of Indians students and temperary residents all over Canada who demanded changes to accommodate their desire. Their behaviors are unacceptable and disrespectful. Many of them deserved rejection.

I am an immigrant from India so what i am going to say is a harsh truth. A lot of people come to Canada and then expect to do the same things they were used to do in their own countries. They forms groups, buy house in the same ethnic neighbourhoods as theirs. Because of this they do not grow. Lots of people who have been in Canada for decades cant speak english properly. They bring issues of their own country with them. They just don’t grow.

You want them,you got em Canada.

Indian immigration consultants in india and some in canada making hugeeeeee money

A bigger backlog is a disaster for everyone. I want a decrease in the number of immigrants, but Canada owes it to these people to speed up the process.\nI also think that we should eliminate the Asylum category entirely. No more refugees.

Keep cheering MAGA cult , Canada and Mexico will make everything highly expensive now. China doesn't need the US and neither does Canada.

Columbia, Denmark, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, California... All that in 5 days. I figure in about 3 months we'll be at war with the whole world.

We just angered our ally countries in one week (Mexico, Canada, Spain, Greenland, Panama, Colombia). I wouldnt be surprised if some of these countries start ditching the US dollar and head over to Briccs (which already has 41% of the global population).
