As a US citizen who has lived within 5 miles of the Canadian border, worked for Canadian employers, and had many Canadian friends, I have always known them to be quietly strong people. This just strengthens my conviction. I am so glad SOMEONE will stand up to the tyrant who has stolen my nation.

As an American Donald Trump was a mistake. It's time for the American people to wake up and admit their mistakes. An inflated ego is not good. My fellow American we don't want a president with an inflated ego, who will never admit his mistake. People will definitely die because of this fool of a man. Imagine 5 years or 4 years of this. I can go on for many paragraphs but what's the point since I firmly know that my point will be proven in less than a year. Don't forget the employment rate keeps rising, inflation is rising. No wages increase for the citizens of the country. Medical and Medicaid will be cut as well as social security. Mass layoffs, it's also not easy to get a new job. Well I think we will have to migrate to other countries but that will not help. The only solution is to have him removed from the oval office.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

We have a corrupt government that has full responsibility for the Shit Show.Our corrupt government has been a corrupt government since the beginning of America and it's time for them to be exposed and I'm here to do just that. I'm Victim of District Supreme Court of Kansas and Government, Google Irene Pacheco vs State of Kansas, the only Mexican American in history who took the State of Kansas to the District Supreme Court of Kansas the District Supreme Court of Kansas: Violated my right to sue my employer the EEOC gave me, the Federal Judge signed a Pretrial Judgment for 100K, lost wages and the return of the lower paying job I worked for to support my 2 daughters, Falsified Federal Documents Tampered with Federal Records Deformation of Character Mental Anguish, Obstruction of Justice, Bias, Abuse of Power, Denied a hearing, Not informed that my case was moving on to the District Supreme Court of Kansas. The corrupt government underestimates the intelligence of the American citizens and I made history due to their corruption, I'm here to be their worst nightmare. The corrupt government is corrupt on all levels.

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Sane Americans appreciate our northern neighbor and support whatever tactics, and strategies, you must employ to deal with the ass hat that is our President. I’m quite envious of the articulate, honest, strong leadership of Mr. Trudeau. It’s the antithesis of the current President of the U.S. I prefer to not say his name out loud so as to not throw up.

I don't like Trudeau. I don't like what he did to Canada in advancing a ridiculous far left agenda however I also don't believe the tariffs employed by Trump were the correct thing to do. Mexico and China, yes. Canada, no!

Trump uses foreign affairs spectacles to distract the public attention from the hardships the economy of the declining U.S. empire causes its citizens. \nHe is the most danngerous person in history, to the foundation of the U.S. \nThe 2 important things to be aware of re: current the situation of the U.S.: \n1. The deccline of the American emmpire and the dennial/ignoring of that fact by the government, business community and mainstream media. \n2. The fact that strikes and demonstrations will not be effective in bringing the required systemic change to the American systems of government and economy, that the American working class needs so urgently and badly. \nThe only way for the working class in the U.S. to change its fate, is by revvolting, and then establishing Soccialism as the system of government and economy: \nOnly through a Soccialist Revvolution can the working class in the U.S. change its current dreadful situation. The working class is about 97% of the population of the U.S. they are many, many millions of people, many more than the employer class, and so they can act and achieve that crucially important goal.

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either

Let’s get this clear - This is not about hurting Canada with Tariff. This is all part of Trump’s plan to create panic, confusion and frustration to the American people to make us weak so he can sell us to PUTIN. The tariff to Canada, Mexico and China; his immigration racist decisions to target Latinos; the way he and Vance attacked to president Zaleski and firing federal employes is just ALL Part of a plan to create confusion, so while we scratch our head, he allied with PUTIN.

Mass terminations of federal employees ??⚠️, directed by Donald Trump ?️??️ and Elon Musk ?? through DOGE ?‍☠️, are expected to wreak havoc on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) ??? Employment Situation report for February 2025, scheduled for release on March 7, 2025. ⏳??\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=UM_WCKwSkmc

But hold on a minute, Donald Trump is pointing the finger at president Zelenskiy of Ukraine saying that he would cause World War three let everyone just take a step back and look at the mess that Donald Trump is causing in the US is behaving like a mafia boss employing and bringing in all the criminals of the millionaire world from the bottom of the barrel They want to play with Canada. They want to try and take over the Panama Canal, and take Greenland doesn’t this not sound like something that Putin is carrying out right now how do you rain in in this modern day? a president, of the free world who is psychotic deranged and suicidal.

The US has many factories in Canada, employing a number of Canadians !

The President of the United States is trying to destroy America economically in my opinion. Don’t take it personal Canada. He’s fired over 20,000 people from their jobs with absolute disregard in disrespect. He left to get rid of which employed 7000 people! Trump led the charge to get rid of TikTok and then he left Office and it happened but he’s the one who started it all 7000 people lost their job jobs. He’s cutting Services to all American people with all these job losses and he doesn’t care!! He just cares about his wife, Elon, and making America white again! To start trade, wars is crazy when we’re just recovering economically from the pandemic, but he doesn’t care because being the president has made him rich because he breaks every law!! I’m so sorry Canada that we have so many idiots in this country that voted for this man because they’re racist and they wanna make America white again. It’s not about making America great it’s about making it white. Unless you do one of those so-called what he calls black jobs. Don’t really need to explain anymore than that. Either know some history or don’t. Hopefully this idiot will either change his mind when he realize what a catastrophe he’s caused or he’ll be gone soon!! From an American, who did not vote for Trump and never would vote for Trump with good reason!!

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

The only way his actions make any sense is that Trump is a traitor and in Putin's employ.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

Canada runs its country so well that companies are lined up to come here, start new factories, and employ new people. \nNo, they are running away for lower taxes, lower gas and diesel, lower regulations, and a chance to start new businesses without the hassle that might as well be years before they get a permit.

It is so amusing that bots have been employed in full force to ensure all the comments are giving a shoulder to the PM to cry on. He at least finds himself useful after attacking mindlessly countries in the world whose security he has no business endangering .\n\nPOTUS is doing what is best for his country and his steps are revolutionary and will cause some pain in the beginning but the population at large should exercise patience and understand he is the only who can get them out of the abyss and also ensure all the people exploiting Usa for their wealth and support don’t do so \n\nPeople have been using USA to their advantage and here is a man who makes sense with his strategy \n\nThis PM speaks as if his tariffs are going to shake up supplies to USA \nHe seems to be living in a dream . Anyway he is going to be out soon \n\nAmericans hang out with POtUs . He is tough less tactful and polite but he means business

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

He should speak to Putin as Trump is an employee of Putin and does what he says. Or maybe Satan because Satan also employs him

Canadian self employment is 13% or the population compared to USA 10%

The economy has crashed ? due to our leaders pushing a globalist WEF controlled narrative. Inflation is only due to money printing and the housing shortage due to uncontrolled immigration including over 5 million temporary workers doing jobs our unemployed natives could have done. Instead large employers are given incentives to hire millions from India. Makes totally no sense unless you are purposely trying to destroy Canada.

American GDP per capita is lopsided by tech giants that bring money from all over the world but employ small numbers compared to other industries. Take that out its just Russia. If the USA doctors charged 200k for surgey, the gdp went up 200k but the patient is now bankrupt. \n\nCanada messed up with immigration and handing out study permits. There was never a need for low skills foreign workers and diplomas that taught zero skills to international students. The root cause the crony capitalism that drives down wages and workers quality of life. Nothing will change until workers get back power they had in 50s and 60s.

Dear Canada,\nI hope you fix the employment problems and stop employers from hiring non-resident under contract for below minimum wage rather than a resident or a local before you start implementing new streams for said non-residents and new immigrants. A lot of you locals are struggling to land employment because of the fact. Employers are taking advantage of this loophole for to lower cost of employments. And it's unfair for us locals and residents. \nIt's just unfair you see, it's not right that employers prioritize non-residents just because they can lowball them and this individuals won't have any issue with or say any word since they are given employment. Employments should be fair. \nThe labor law should have more stricter rules on such things because employers are taking advantage of this very lax rule. And should have a law that supports employees too against abusive employers or employers who just don't care as long as they profit. \n\nSincerely,

Saudia Arabia used to employ millions of Palestinians in their own country, but when the Palestinians supported Saddam Hussein so fervently when Iraq had invaded Kuwait and was a direct threat to Saudi Arabia, they replaced them with different foreign nationalities but mostly from SE Asia. So not only were the Palestinians ungrateful for being able to make a living in SA, they posed a direct threat to SA's independence. Why anyone would think the Saudis owed the Palestinians anything is beyond me.

Does living a normal life also mean being employed. If so i wonder who is employing these people, something that always seems to be missing. In the past i wonder if the italian, Jewish, Russian mafias and Irish gangs ever recruited illegals or undocumented people.

In Canada, employers can face penalties for not hiring Canadian workers before hiring temporary foreign workers. These penalties include fines, bans, and reputational damage. \nPenalties\nFines\nEmployers can face fines of up to $100,000 per violation, up to a maximum of $1 million per year. \nBans\nEmployers can be banned from hiring temporary workers for a period of time. \nPublication\nEmployers' names and addresses may be published on the IRCC's list of non-compliant employers. \nRecruitment requirements\nEmployers must advertise the position to demonstrate that they actively sought to hire Canadian workers. \nEmployers must conduct recruitment efforts to hire Canadians and permanent residents before offering a job to a temporary foreign worker. \nOther compliance requirements \nEmployers must comply with employment standards, including minimum wage, housing, and workplace safety.\nEmployers must comply with human rights and anti-discrimination laws.\nEmployers must maintain accurate records to demonstrate compliance with program conditions.\nProgram enforcement\nThe ESDC monitors and combats program misuse, including through inspections and increased use of Ministerial Instructions.

It's a good start! But, EMPLOYER'S hiring illegals since they will work cheaper than citizens & illegal employers do it also!!!

Governments thrive on taxes and the illegal immigrants are like protons that attract electrons - income tax, business tax from landlords, bus drivers to ICE agents fuel government spending to maintain high employment and a stable economy

If Trump would put a massive fine on anyone hiring an illegal, and let it be known world wide , that would stop many employers from hiring them, and many illegals may not come if they know that getting a job is almost impossible

As a Canadian..i'll say this. Our country is a bad shape right now...and the countless 'extra' people, mostly indians, are not helping. We need immigration. I am not against it. But I am against illegal migration and resource sucking. There is no legit vetting process anymore. Countless indians are being given visas that were granted on bogus claims on their documents. Fake education records...fake employement records. Then they get their visa...and don't go 'home' when it expires. Then they have what indians like to call 'anchor babies'....so that their baby has Canadian citizenship and then they hope that pity will be taken and they, the parents, won't be shipped home. They don't assimilate and totally disregard our way of life. It is appauling.

Arrest their employers

Stop ALL EMPLOYMENT and it will stop.They come here for work.Who is giving them jobs?Very disgusting.Close the wallet and watch what happens.Anybody who makes a dollar and profits from illegal immigration needs to be put in prison.This is BIG BUSINESS at it's worse,no better than the drug cartels.?

Make it a criminal offense with prison time to help, employ and house these people.

Imprison any employer willing to hire an undocumented worker, and BINGO, no more people coming into America.... but that means trump's most profitable hotels would have to close. Too many rich people rely on paying undocumented workers less than minimum wage.

The only way to stop this is to give hefty fins ~ minimum $50, 000 fine to peoplecwhho shelter or employ them and make it a criminal offence _ well close the hotels down in centuqry cities and stop NGO from getting funds to support illegals

It still baffles me that legacy media local and national are claiming that these deportations of illegal migrants are bad because they’re “non violent” and haven’t committed crimes. Get them the hell out of here. It’s making it harder or we make it hard harder for people who are trying to come into this country legally. I also like the argument from people saying that now it’s making it harder for employers to find employees. Obviously, it’s mainly coming from legacy media.

They wasting their time. They still not going to get employment. Now is. It the time to come to the USA illegally.

Should we all get together and do one of those White House petition things where we ask that the government come down hard with big fines against companies who insist on employing illegal immigrants like they get fined like 50,000 per illegal, per day, that is discovered at the workplace kind of thing? I bet we would not have to do any deporting after something like that got enacted

We need to cut off the free stuff and go after the employers too. We can’t afford this.

Canada gets 40,000 to 80,000 year coming North\nWe tried last 10 years to stop it\n\n&\nMigrants fly to NYC take bus to local town closest to border, & than take can literally right to place where they cross into Canada\n\nNow because Pierre Poilievre is going to win our next election for our Conservative Party\nWho says in his election promises to close the border\n\nAs when one crosses into Canada illegally\n\nThey bypass our immigration & go thru our Court system\n\nUnder present Liberal govt\nAs they wait for court case\n\nSocial Services hooks them up with place to live\nMonthly welfare\n& even employment \n\nSo illegal migrants r going back South as they know when Conservatives win\nDeportations will be enforced like what is happening in U.S right now\n\nSanctuary cities is attracting them back into U.S. \n\nMany Independent Media covered going back to 2015\n\nRebel News\nDid several stories as well as others\n\nSo I guess I can only say\n\nHIW DOES IT FEEL !!\n\nCanada tried & tried to get American border guards to stop on ur end \n\nThis is result of in action by Biden/Trump & Justin Trudeau’s Lii is break govt

Upstate New York employs countless illegal farm workers .

Totally blame the sanctuary cities , people who hire , and ngo’s. Exact heavy fines on employers, and it will stop. Paying a fine higher than it cost to pay an American will change alot of people’s mind. Then the criminals will be easier to. Weed out.

I think a major reason for the rejection is that many jump ships hoping to get employment and permanent residency ?

Cost of living, Employment and Safety are things that matter the most. Every thing else is minor.

My fellow country folks need to learn how to behave abroad first and not abuse the visa system.\nFrom signposts about not spitting gutka in UK to employed people raiding food banks in Canada, we have earned all the restrictions applied to us.
