Good fair tarifs

Okay, so this is what an intelligent, well-spoken, confident, powerful yet fair leader looks like?

Canada doesn't practice fair trade with the US. DJT is fixing it. Get over it, we're tired of being screwed.

Fair trade should be fair trade not what people pick and choose

Americans are sick of getting taking advantage of fair is fair even across the board period.

You must pay your fair share. We can't pay 25% tariffs, and you pay 5%. You are taking advantage of us.

Heavy hearts here today in Canada??????. Life doesn’t have to be so hard. This is a dark day for us. We really like our neighbors the USA. \nLooking forward to the day we are joined with our fellow neighbors again in fair trade!\nWe will visit you when things are better but not until then.

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

Well, Trump threatened Canada, what a piece of shit president, I must say... At this point, Canada should join EU, and sell all their gas and oil to Europe, at a fair price, not ultra cheap how they are currently selling to the USA. Usa is making a tons of money profit from exploiting Canada...

No winners in a trade war? Guess it’s easy to say when the trade leans in your favor and it’s under attack to equal it out. Must not understand how reciprocal tariffs work. You tax us we tax you. We’re looking for fair trade. Your retaliation is welcoming the escalation of a trade war.

Que pouvons-nous faire pour aider, nous les aînés ? Nous ne pouvons travailler 40 heures/semaine, mais nous sommes encore capables d'aider notre pays. What can we do, us elderly people to help? We can't work 40 hours/week but we can still help our country.

Why war on first place. Business should be fair. WAR is always bad solution.

Reciprocal tariffs is fair. If its reciprocal Im for it. US should match what other countries are charging us.

Russia in the future : we will not stand back and watch our ally The United States to be in turmoil from all the protest and people going against Democracy. Trump won fair and square, and we will be sending our armed forces to help the U.S control this situation.

All I got to say is Canada you better get this piece of ? out of power while you still have a country he is absolutely destroying your country time for America to make shit fair period Tredou needs imprisoned facts

If you dont want it make it fair trade, not a deficit to the u.s. for your trade,

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.

How I understand it is that the Canadian? Government has been charging the US\nTariffs. Trump is charging them a reciprocal tariff. When Trudeau takes away his tariffs then the US will take away theirs. Uncomplicate the complicated. ?✌️Fair is fair.

As Mexican once again i respect you Canada!!! ...Youre always so fair and mature. ? ??

If it is a receptacle tariff. Takes Canada off and our will be off. Simple and fair

Friend do not cheat got be fair

This coming from the guy that froze the truckers bank accounts and has acted like a dictator for years. All you had to do Canada is secure your border and pay your fair share into NATO. You didn’t……

It s just RECIPROCAL TAXES, what s so complicated ? It s Fair.!

Nah its called being fair. Business is business

Friend do not cheat got be fair

Canada already has tariffs on the US imports sent to Canada. Why is he crying about being fair by the US charging the same that Canada does to the US? Go to hell.

Why is the left against fair trade? Why do you believe that it's okay for other countries to put high tariffs on Americans but we shouldn't do the same, why?

We aren’t fighting, just want fair trade, pretty simple. No more mooching off of the US…sorry.

Too little, too late, too woke! Pay full NATO membership and commit to fair trading practices with the U.S.

Its not a war , just playing fair. and to keep the drugs out of our Country.

Oh Mr Personality and Fairness. Dont you want to freeze some truckers accounts anymore for protesting your stupid rules. Go Blow somewhere else.

The tariffs have nothing to do with border security. Trump ,in his supreme unintelligence, believes that he can replace income taxes with tariffs. Like they did in the late 1800's. He'll try anything other than making the 1% pay their fair share of taxes.

CNN, since you don't educate or inform your viewers on the underlying issues, allow me to do the honors.\n\n900,000,000,000 dollars. That is the Trade deficit the United States carried with Canada last year, almost a trillion dollars of lost production; lost profit and lost jobs and lost income for working class Americans. In addition to this Trade Deficit, U.S. exporters face possible 5 to 10 percent taxes in the form of sales taxes from some provinces and the federal government. Mr. Trump is trying to level the playing field which will even this deficit. This is fair for both parties. Tradeau knows this, but being a leftist and a globalist, he will say all manner of things against Trump.

Then pay your fair share

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

You're reasonable? Don't place your opinion on all Canadians. They don't agree with your leftist actions. If you were reasonable you wouldn't be placing tariffs on all American products exported to Canada. Now, reciprocal tariffs are fair. Why don't you tell your people the TRUTH

We don’t need any of your resources. We literally can get everything in our own country. You have be taking advantage of us with your significantly High tariffs and when we ask for a more fair deal this is how you treat us.

Treudeau is a very good man a fair man wish he was our president .trump is none of those.

This coming from a dictator himself! It's amazing that all these countries think the u.s. is there personal piggy bank. Its about time they pay their fair share, and now that they do they crying about it... absolutely amazing!

We just won't buy anything until all this works out. We want a fair system.

Justin makes raising the prices on everything seem cruel when Trump does it. But it is fair when Liberals do it. That is a 65 IQ at work folks.

Thank you Canada ?? \nSorry for the inconvenience but we have a Dictator and he is not playing fair to you and to other countries. Blessings to your country and the people that live there. ???☮️❤️✨✝️????????????\nI LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT.

So let me get this straight us Americans don't have the right to change the tariffs and what kills me is that when it affects you now you complain about it and that it's not fair. So what it says is that you knew it's always not been fair but you've never cared but now it affects you that's why you're complaining.

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

Trudope is a sally - Nobody wants this idiot running their country neither. Just like busted up Biden. PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE CLOWN - You have your own people already not able to afford much do to your own destructive policies. Fix it !! Saying your doing everything necessary but actually doing nothing and haven't since you been there.

Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

This is what Americans and Canadians have listed to for years. Now you don't look like a push over....nice. Now you will negotiate and work together for a fair trade deal. Let results delicate.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I’m an Old Navy in Florida and I absolutely support you Canada. Your president is articulate fair and just knows how to be presidential! I envy you!

Does Canada have a fairly warm area that I can move to? At 82 I just want out of here as I can't bear the idea of living out the next four year with the insanity that has been heaped on our heads. If not maybe I will get lucky and drop dead so I don't have to watch the fall of America.
