Our counter tariffs are interesting. Guess what's on the list? Torpedoes. Ammunition. Weapons. Yes, we will reach our 2% of GDPin military spending goal after the purchase of 12 submarines, 15 destroyers and a host of drones, but we will likely get them from Europe, Japan and other allies. \n \nTrump folded because he stands to lose Canada's purchase of military equipment.

Compare how many mass shootings you had in the U.S. compared to Canada. Also, we are allowed to own weapons if you want (particularly for hunting). But we do not make a big deal about, nor are we paranoid to the point we need to openly carry one Up here, it is mostly police and Brinks guards that open carry because it is part of the job.

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.

All illegal s go back home un documented. In Canada.

Canada here,,the only reason any of this is happening is numbnuts is n't doing his part to deal with illegal immigrants at the borders,,that is what Trump wanted, that is why,

Canada must work with Mexico to fight the bully. Open trade with EU and Asian countries would be a great move. ???

As a US citizen, I have to wonder, if pushing our Canadian brothers and sisters is the best choice. Have we forgotten that the Geneva Convention is basically a list of Canadas Military achievements?

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

Europe has an alliance with Canada and it's stronger than the USA.

First “They” say that US Tariffs will hurt the US Citizenry.\nSecond “They” seek to impose Tariffs ON the USA to hurt the US Citizenry (apparently NOT “hurting” Their Own Citizens?) \nThe USA has Specific Goals behind the tariffs (Border & Drug Control) do Mexico &/or Canada have Specific Goals as well?\n\nPersonally, I think if the US Citizenry backs down on outright Consumerism, We’ll find there’s a lot We Don’t (and Never) Needed.\nIf this version of “War” continues long enough, We will find that We can fulfill pretty much ALL of Our Own Needs … if not “Wants”.

Who cares? We don’t need to buy anything from Mexico or Canada —build and grow here.

This hurts Americans. Lumber to build houses destroyed in the hurricane will be too expensive. He needs to scale this back. Canada should cut power before the Superbowl so people realize how much the US gets from Canada!

American here. Will be stepping up my purchase of Canadian goods. Canada isn’t a problem.

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

Trump disrespects Canada ? by imposing these tariffs. Canadians need to stop buying American products.

I think china and Canada can trade with 0 tariffs.

America does not need canada, canada needs America. Left and woke is over. Those are facts, the rest is irrelevant...

Canada should put 0% TAXES ON CHINESE EV, start to exploit OIL AND IMPORT TO EUROPE AND OTHER COUNTRIES. U guys have bigger ammount of natural fuel than US.

American here…what exactly do we rely on Canada for…besides being a comfy big hat?

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

Canada needs build bridges to Europe ?? and ??. \nProblem solved.

This is the best thing that could happen. I hope we stopped all trade with Canada Mexico, and make everything in America. We need jobs here.

It’s hard to believe USA treated Canada as a hostile country. Shocking

Australia is more then happy to increase cooperation with Canada and Mexico ?

Its time for canada to diversify its economy. This is great opportunity for Canadians to reduce dependence on US .

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!

Europe should response and go for a new agreement with Canada.

I will suggest that China, Canada and Mexico establish a free trade area.

BRAVO MEXICO & CANADA.\nMORE PRESSURE MORE STRONGER\n?❤?

Canada could join the European Union. Yes, it would be weird. But we are living in weird times. I have heard discussions about it.

Canada is on a suicidal path at this moment. Just watch its economy going down the drain. Mexico will follow. I am against unilateral tarrif with Canada and Mexico but these twon nations seems hardheaded to the wrong path.

Neither Mexico nor Canada can win a trade war with the United States.

Trump said he doesn’t need goods free m Canada, then why put tariffs on them? Go somewhere else

Canada and Mexico should trade only with each other ???. that will be the result of whats happening. Mexico can grow more foods than america and Canada can provide everything that the US does.

Canada is not sorry

Mexico and Canada imposing tariffs on the US is not going to hurt us like they think. We have more ships and planes and are able to move more goods faster to other countries who will buy. Not to mention the fact that Mexico and Canada were never fair to us in trading. In the end they will have hurt themselves way more then the US. Why do you think Trump has done this and most of us are not worried.

Stand strong Canada you can't let President Convicted Felon Trump who just happens to be a DICTATOR have his own way, all the very best Canada, From Australia

Canada have been freeholders for decades, time they paid their way.

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.

No more Tesla for Canada please.

Maybe just control the border instead of trying to act tough. As a dual citizen I can say Canada needs to learn its place.

Canada should join the EU

Yes, let Canada defend itself because America will withdraw its defence. The Canadian president is trying to act tough to the detriment of his citizens.

More tariffs on Canada!! Trump will slap them back into line!

Canada, Mexico and China have taken advantage of the US by sending $Billions more into the US than the US sent to them. Not fair for them to treat the US in this way. The US wants FAIR trade where both sides send the same amount to each other.

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

Trump told. Canada what to do about the boarder and y’all did not shut the door!!! Let’s see who can last!!!!

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

Canada and Mexico have no commitment to reducing Illegal immigration,fentanyl smuggling, and human trafficking. They are corrupt as China and Russia.

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