Hopefully people around the world respond by buying as little as possible from the US (especially from the billionaires and states that support Trump). Trump is going to try to divide and conquer, and if the US will attack Canada, no democracy is immune.

Good on Canada for standing up to the U.S. The US has fallen far...

Canada is just a joke to Trump, partner seems out of question

And how exactly were Canada and Mexico supposed to address those issues? Trump knows those countries can’t resolve them on demand. So what is Trump’s endgame here?

Good for Canada to docking it to us like Trump did it go them. Actually Canada should have increased their tariffs to 50%.

Trump wants to give Canada the same treatment Putin is giving to Ukraine.

US is the biggest contributor to Nato at 16%. Canada is only at 1.5%. US should reduce their funding to 5%. Why do US taxpayers have to pay for the rest of the world.

What exactly does Trump want Canada to do about the border situation? I can’t find any specific information.

Canada???

Bring BYD to Canada

Mexico and Canada won't survive trade wars with the US. They'll fold in a matter of months.

The single most significant threat to world peace, stability and prosperity is the American voter.\n\nIf I was to advise the Canadian government, I would cancel all current and future contracts with American defense Corporations and sell off all American-made military hardware from Canadian stocks and re-equip with European military hardware and South Korean Tanks. Canada could make excellent use of the Saab Gripen.

Canada already have taxes on imports from North America. Good luck Canada

Canada and Mexico have rights to defend themselves!

Go Canada!

US tariff 25% for everything except 10% for energy. Canada only tariff about 150 B among 800 billion us import. Is this a huge retaliation.

trump shouldn't treat Canada this way, what a shame?

Canada should implement a 10 to 15 percent export tariff on all of the goods going into the USA. Don’t put any tariffs coming into Canada , just let Canadians prosper

Mexico and canada dont need america,america are done

Not interested in Canada

Canada falling straightt into the trap.\nGM is dragging its heels to move manufacturing back to the USA. \nCanada is now helping in that.

Canada should stop selling oil and electricity to the US.

Canada's economy is entirely parasitic to the US economy. The counter tariff is ridiculous.

Trump will increase it to 50% then. Canada will go down faster than ever

Canada should focus on its immigration. Any drug dealer can easily get Canadian citizenship. I think what Trump doing is better for the world

This is a mistake by Trudeau and will continue to hurt Canada and Canadians until he is removed from office.

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

BTW, its not about border security with Canada, just trade imbalance and the fact that Canadians expect America to pay for their defense when we are having trouble paying the interest on the debt from the money we borrow to give you and the rest of the world. Times are changing my friend. Time to find a different sugar daddy I guess.

Poor Canada and Mexico. They just lost a huge market. 50% tariff from Americans now.

If you do the math and see who purchases what from who, this is heavily in favour of the US. Yes, both countries will hurt but it will hurt Canada a lot more - this is just going from national statistics for trade dependencies.

Should Canada join BRICS ?

Russia, China and its BRICS partners appreciate Trump and the USA for their hostile attitude towards Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Europe. They will certainly take the opportunity to strengthen their business relationships with all of them. The BRICS are open for business…

Bravo , Wow , Soon Canada will do it too And the Europeans will do it too

Canada is a haven for criminals, money launderers, and an endless flow of mass immigration from special interest countries not to mention, it’s become a breeding ground for fentanyl production. It’s time to face the ugly truth.

I have 2 brothers that live in the US and they both enjoy living there. Yes, the medical is expensive and not as good as Canada's medical plan. But it's also true that you could get in fast all in the US. Hospitals pill to getting in to Canadian hospitals for appointments. For\n Myself, I love, the US has lot of nice cultures. And I Love all the theme parks that you guys have down there like Disneyland and hollywood theme park as well and even Hawaii.

I am for this deportation 1000%. See brampton, this city turn into indian all where you turn its indian in jpbs, gas station all commercial paces all in banks. Damn! All over is indians and middle east people. That is madeness. How are all these people coming into canada so easily and black people trying to come here is a hard situation. They need to send back all these indian people too many in canada

Weird that all these people are coming to a country that hates black and brown people …. Bs! Now cnn and msnbc pushed the narrative that Canada is your second option.

Islam is getting out of hand in Canada. Good luck, and thank you for leaving.

Canada is a horrible place. Worst place in the world. Every indian who goes to canada for immigration is making the worst decision of their lives.

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

Immigrants are not leaving Canada there rushing the border now

I am a newfoundlander known across the country as a NEWFIE. You ask would i give up by birthplace to move to the USA? I wouldn't consider moving to anywhere in Canada let alone move to the USA. We have health insurance which is taken care of by government, we have Dental care that's taken care of by government we have Starbucks, Tim Horton's, and all the other goodies you mentioned here or you think are goodies. We have very nice people and everyone is willing to help and not stab the neighbour in the back. We have some of the best that nature has to offer. Move? Not bloody likely.

People who escaped India and went to Canada did not become Canadians, but created another India within Canada. This is the clear difference between ordinary Asians and Indians.

You guys filed for schooling not living they are different applications. You finish school You ARE TO GO HOME NOT STAY simple as that. And what is this demanding things this is Canada not India

Canada gets it they’ve been in the Twilight Zone longer than our 4 yrs of Hell !

Indians will invade Canada ??. No one can count Indian. So many Indian , even Chinese, Pakistanis and Bangladesh together couldn't match their numbers.??

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Canada wants to work with you Trump! Please don't deport Jim Carrey, Ryan Reynolds, Mike Myers and Micheal Cera back to Canada. We will pay the tariffs!!

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Denmark (and its EU partners), China and many others... the only acceptable trading partners are Russia and North Korea in Trump's mind? Good luck America.
