Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

What is wrong with reciprocal tariffs?

What tha f..k is wrong with trump?? Nothing warranted these tariffs

Hey Trudeau just pay the tariffs or be our 51st state. Don’t do any retaliatory tariffs or you’re killing your own peoples

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but by them putting a 25% tariff on USA goods. Wouldn't it hurt them?

Lol, it was never about Fentanyl, Trump needs money to enact his plans and tariffs will help him get that money. Nothing more to it

Hahaha what is this clown talking about! He knows canada will end upp on the lossing end of this tariffs

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

The tariffs are a pretext for a trade war that will only enrich the wealthy including trump..These people don't give a rat's ass about the people and never have..That's how they accumulated their obscene billions..

I don’t think that Trump’s Tariffs have anything to do with Fentanyl. His aim is to isolate USA from their allies, he wants to gather as much money as possible to pay for huge tax cuts to the richest oligarchs. This is all about greed first and the destruction of democracy second. We are so much more vulnerable as a nation at this time. I love my Canadian friends, please don’t think that us New Englanders support him.

So sorry, World, for this American president’s stupidity ! As soon as I can I’m coming to Canada and spend the day apologizing for his stupidity ! Thank you for staying strong against an ignorant bully named trump ! He doesn’t even know what a tariff is and the GOP is afraid to tell him Americans Pay for it ! ????‍♀️ I hate trump ! ?

Trudeau‘s response doesn’t look anything like somebody that wants to work with us. He just turned a tariff that was aimed at creating some equality behind our trades into a trade war not Trump we will own Canada soon enough now because of Trudeau’s terrible response

I wish we could have Trudeau as president. Alas, he is Canadian and we are stuck with a deadbeat tangerine toddler, who flunked Economics 101 because he doesn't understand that tariffs hurt consumers and result in a trade war. Yambo is an a$$.

tariff tesla, twitter and Facebook with some insane numbers ASAP

??? why is Justine whining about tariffs when he’s playing tit for tat with his tariffs imposed on USA? \n\nLet the world see Canada uniting because I sure as hell didn’t see it during Covid era. \n\nI’ll never forget Justina’s behaviour towards his truckers! The image on tv was iconic. \n\nFrom ????.

Please tariff Elon and Tesla specifically

Damn as an American that disagrees with many Canadian policies. Somehow I stand with Trudeau right now. Economics 101 tariffs are bad for everybody.

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

Trump is just a liar. These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s all comes from trump having no clue what running a country requires do he is just acting like a tuff guy to assuage his ego. He only ran to stay out of prison. Facts matter \nLike the fact there was 14000 deaths last year from fentanyl in USA. Not 10 million. Fact In the last 10 years there has been 1.1 million deaths. Also only 0.01 % comes across the Northern border. We will deal with Europe and Asia and leave America alone like the rest of the world.

It is not about the tariffs

Amazing the libtards actually did their job. All it took was Trump's tariffs. Actual Canadians thank you president Trump.

Just a few of Canada’s existing tariffs while they lose their minds about 25%:\n\n1. Butter - 298% \n2. Milk - 270% \n3. Ice Cream - 267% \n4. Cream - 259% \n5. Cheese - 245% \n6. Chicken - 238% \n7. Yogurt - 237% \n8. Eggs - 163% \n9. Wheat - 94% \n10. Sausages - 69.9%

He is the reason why we have Tariffs

Trudeau is clip farming and playing heartstrings. The Canadian government profits from a reciprocal tariff deal.\n\nAmerica is trying to balance the budget, which is what Americans voted for.

The members of the U.S.Congress know exactly what there doing along with crooked President Trump....its a money grab thats all it is,these tariffs will only hurt American tax payers period,dont think for one minute that these crooked politicians arent in cahoots with these companies and Trump that will also profit from this off the backs of the American people and yes i know the American companies are responsible for paying the tariffs hence the increse passed on to the American people....These people that holds these offices are not in office to serve you,thats why they all leave office multi millionaires,i know it and they know it and maybe one day just maybe the average American citizen will realize this too.⏳⚖️???.

I think we have cheaper alternatives in the US. How about 50%. As long as we have 250% tariffs on American goods, I say keep going. We need reciprocal trade and need to fix the border issues also. We lose so many to the fentanyl. Canada needs to make its military contributions also. We don’t need the bs words from this bs guy. Some better leadership can still fix this but when I hear boycotts, I start checking labels also.

Canada is such a hypocritical country. They charge us already huge amounts of tariffs on a lot of our goods.

Trudeau lost me when he called Donald 'a very smart guy'. I'm onboard with retaliating against Trump's tariffs even if it increases prices of goods I want to buy.

Trump is trying to force Canada to become a state. This has nothing to do with tariffs at his point. Even if Canada did everything he wanted it wouldn't be enough to Trump.

JT IS LAUGHABLE.\nWHAT'S THE DIFFERENCES.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU TAXES HIS CITIZENS TO DEATH ALREADY. \nNOW JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS COMPLAINING.\nA FEW TARIFFS. BIG DEAL...!!\n THE USA IS LAUGHING AT THIS QUEER JUSTIN TRUDEAU.

This guy said. Tariffs against Canada will only hurt Americans. Now. He was to slap tariffs on US . The irony.

I would open the market for Chinese EV if I were canadian PM, this just to hurt Elon Musk and Tesla, and I would put tariffs on american EV.

I don't consider that. . . Talking directly to Trump. Good luck you whimpy crazy little fruit. Ok shoot us with your tariffs. See who caves first. Whining on tv trying to change our minds. When we openly, willingly and happily voted to change the way THIS COUNTRY has been thru because of idiots like you, Biden ETC. change hurts in the beginning. . . But in the end. We will see who has a trade deficit with who. Good luck little fruit

Canada gonna lose n they know it . They dont mind us paying tariffs . Why do any Americans want us to pay but not them . Because u not too smart

Trump is obviously helping Russia with imposing tariffs on these countries, it's another way of helping his buddy Putin to get back on board with his failing economy.

Everyone fighting over Tariffs and im sitting in Las Vegas waiting for them to increase the W2-G limit from $1200 to $5000. I guess we all have real problems ?

Good for you Canada,Slap a 50 % tariffs on us.Stand up to this Orange A……s Hole !!!

Instead of standing down, the Canada PM decided to impose 25% tariffs on its own people just to combat a war with the USA instead of mending their relationship and fight the fentanyl crisis together.

This looming tariff squabble between these once-chummy nations needs to hit the discussion table, stat! So, let’s roll out a grand convoy led by Canada’s finest, Terrance and Phillip, to face off with a U.S. special delegation spearheaded by the legendary Eric Cartman. We propose this showdown happens near Niagara Falls, where the mist can douse the heated trade tensions. Canada better 'respect his authoritah,' or the U.S. might just demand a full refund—starting with trade of Mike Myers for Michael Myers!!

Tariffs can be PERMANENT. This idiotic decision could literally ruin the trade relations between the US and Canada forever, especially if Canada finds better deals elsewhere

In a sense I know why (optics), but in another sense, I don’t. Why do so many insist on retaliating against Trump’s tariffs with more or higher tariffs of their own? I think it’d be so much more effective if someone said, “You know, we’ve thought about this, and we have come to realize that tariffs are really bad. So starting tomorrow, we will respond by getting rid of all our tariffs. This will make everything we import more affordable. It will make us richer. We hope other countries will join us! If America insists on making everything they import more expensive, lowering their standard of living, that’s their prerogative and problem!”

AS a resident of Michigan! I’m In total support of Canada’s Tariffs! Psychopath “sex perv’ Nazi \n Conman Donnie… Has to be removed in ANY Way POSSIBLE!

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

Just raise your tariffs, instead of moaning on national television.

For all of you GO Canada people. The majority of Canadians oppose what our government is doing. This man has destroyed our economy and done everything he could to stop international trade of LNG and oil by shutting down all pipeline and LNG PROJECTS WE HATE THIS MAN. It is not Trump BAD it is everything Trudeau did above and more that killed us. these Tariffs would mean nothing to us if he hadn’t fiscally destroyed us. We are getting what we deserve. Unfortunately it will lead to destitution of many people. I can’t wait to see his party gone. We are running out of time.

Fentanil is only a pretext for punitive tariffs.

Just bann all American products across canada, develop your partnerships with Mexico and Central America countries. They have the rigth of imposing whatever tariffs they want. See how Russia developed their own industry when all west companies left after the war. There is nothing better than those tariffs. For both parts. But, if you want to give your but, keep giving it to them.

100b to us is barely .4% of our economy. It's nothing, and we put tariffs on the equivalent of almost 20% of their economy. Does Canada know how to do basic math?

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!
