At this point i hope we pull all of our subsidies from all of you slack ass countries that wouldnt be able to afford half your socilized entitlements. And when the wolves come knocking dont come crying.

We don't count any way we only worked 30 years to be poore is not worth it to work with illness like I did heart patient and sle lupus and many more and that never stopt me from working only to find out I be poor when I have to retire why why are seniors so poore. We worked for our money know we go with out meds just to make sure we have a little food ? sorry about the spelling I am going blind and I wars going blind from lupus why I wars still working

American here… I’m standing with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, Mexico, and any other country affected by this senseless trade war. I do not stand with Russia. Perhaps, and maybe MAGA worshippers will see the light when they can’t afford to buy a house. I didn’t vote for “the orange” and not all of us are brainwashed. ??‍♀️

American citizens haven't been able to afford groceries after the dementia administration of yesterday, and we sure can't afford to fund an endless war in europe. Trudeau is just as out of touch as the MSM propagandists are.

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.

It's more than time for Canada to turn themself to electric Chinese car at around CAD 5K with quality comparable to Tesla and so many more affordable goods and products from diverse countries of Asia including cheaper chips, GPU, CPU, etc... with the green, affordable and available electricity in huge quantity who could place Canada at the first rank in AI development without speaking about it Geo position reducing latency, Crypto mining at the lower cost around the entire world, the world largest rear earth elements and so many more. By stopping to cooperate with a vicious country which has the philosophy of eliminating the concurrency until to collaborate for the exponential growth of each other's. It's clear that the target of the US was to force the Canada to be producing goods and service to the US consummation at a price so low that will have turn Canada in a third world country which the US could invade or exploit as it will, like they did all around the world by bombing and even committing genocide using proxy to stole the resource of so many nations around the world. So obviously they deal with Russia on how to rob the richest from Europeans nation like Ukraine as it is clear that the US is now looking to make the entire world economy fall for their own profit. Canada must lead in the fight against the American imperialisms pushing for a world embargo against the US and become at the same time one of the richest nations in the world if not the richest one. while for the US citizens to invest all their money in BTC to ensure that they will not fall down with their government and economy.

Trump you sleazy scum receptacle, now inflation is going to make things less affordable and then your going to blame it on Biden and on us for not working hard enough. Is this what you meant when you promised lowering prices? You better have a good apology to the American people

So many Trudeau Liberal supporters here. \n\nSo now people suddenly forget the damage he's done to Canada the last 10 years and think he's a good leader again? What a shame. This country cannot afford 4 more years of the toxic Liberal government. Wake up people! They will finish destroying the country if they win again.

Time to move to Thailand world class nature, food, and healthcare ALL affordable! Canada and USA will soon be 3rd world from this needless destruction of our economies…

I hope Americans can't afford to live. I have money and will be fine. Maybe they will realize what they voted for.

You show 'em trump! Americans cant afford food and definitely cant afford housing, but gosh darn, we're willing to pay extra for everyday items we cant live without.

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

America first!\n Oh no now Canadians won’t be able to afford their 3rd Florida home. Bring it on we’ll see whose economy cracks first.

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

Newsflash Justin, we could afford it if you weren't already taxing us to death......CarbonHoax tax .....take 8t with you when you leave. Stop representing Canada, you resigned because we hate you.

Trump might have syphilis. But Canada will always be where Americans go on holiday when they can't afford a real vacation at Disney World.

This is crazy,,the building sector will be destroyed, building supplies will sky rocket,and who going to building these structures now that immigrants are gone..Businesses will close as many businesses won't be able to afford business supplies and dont forget about Mexico tariffs so get your gardens going because vegetables will be just as costly as eggs,now china is doing the same with their goods coming from china..the American citizens will struggle and they closed the consumer protection agency .so fraud and corruption will be running blind on America and every American will be naked in the face of fraud and corruption..GOOD LUCK AND WATCH YOUR DIX FOLKS..

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

Hey kimlit thank the Conservative for GST and HST. GST introduced by Mulroney in 1991. Free trade caused our manufacturing collapse. Harper, Conservative raised the retirement age to 67 and he changed the law to allow foreign govts to own more than 50% of Canadian companies. These young CanMagas don’t know about our history. The Conservative Party started and continues to be the party of the rich and big business. Look who is backing IDU organization…Koch Brothers, Mike Roman and other oligarchs. Trudeau raised CPP and OAS payments, lowered retirement age back to 65, dental plans for Seniors, cheap daycare….all of which PP said he will remove because we can’t afford it according to his handlers. He will privatize healthcare and raise retirement age again to appease his rich handlers.\n.

More inflation isn't going to affect most of us. We've already had so much that we can't afford anything anyway. If a house already costs a million dollars who cares if it goes up to 100 million. Is truly not worth working during this period of time until work pays a living again. I'm at the point I'd rather go live off the land on a commune

2:52min in. Some of us are with you Canada, hopefully most. If I can afford will it, I will buy ?? as much as possible ?.

Hope the US nation will stand up and protest against this orange clown that's slowly turning the biggest and mightiest nation of the Free World into a racist olicharchy and destroying freedom, healthcare and affordibility for your average US citizen from within. This will not become better. This will only get worse to the point it's irreversibel.

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.

This makes no goddamn sense. I have so many friends that are already struggling to make ends meet here in a relatively affordable midwestern town. \n\nSorry to all Canadians, and the world, on behalf of a mortified and distraught midwestern American.\n?

Don’t forget that this prime minister is the actual reason why Canada is so dependent on US, he’s the reason why Canadian oil was sold to US on discount. The reason why most Canadians can’t afford groceries, why rent is unaffordable, so as real estate. He’s the reason why Canadians are underpaid, and why Canada is underdeveloped, compared to the US. He’s the reason why farmers go out of business because of his ridiculous taxes!

Someone has to stop this psychopath, the worst president in history. How can we afford food or rent at this point??? If he’s doing tariff then he should start paying Americans $3000 a month each family. What a psychopath!

Way to go Trump ... asshat. Yeah we can’t afford you Trump. Thanks for killing our retirement. Loser

This American stands against donOLD and all his fascist buddies. Canada is sane and gracious. I'd migrate to Canada (or the EU or pretty much anywhere but here) if I could afford it. F you, donOLD.

The tariffs will affect the consumer and business sectors. I can barely afford to live as it is. Make America great again?

I'm serious about eating grass, I honestly I can't even afford deodorant at this moment ? ?( but I'm being serious about the deodorant) . My husband and I work and we are a family of 4. We don't get any benefits from the government (medical, or dental or anything) on top of that we still need to save money for an emergency. We pay out of pockets the 14,000 for our kids braces because we don't apply for any help. We pay 600 for lab test for both of my kids , honestly I'm just going to go like big foot and live in the wilderness and I'm not going to shave?‍?

M a n n does that mean I can't afford Canada dry Ginger ale???

Don’t let his BS fool you! Look around in your own communities. Look at the health care system. How many do you know that don’t have a GP so can’t get proper care even though they are sick. The ER tells us we have to have a general practitioner to get anything done! And then there are communities like on Vancouver Island that have closed ER’s in many cities leaving the injured to drive for 2 to 4 hours to the nearest ER. Have any Canadian citizens not heard of fentanyl deaths? Or had someone within 6 people from them have related addiction issues. How many homeless people wander the streets of your communities? This list goes on and on including things like affordable groceries , affordable homes , affordable utilities! \nACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! Do Justin Trudeau and his parties actions over their term in office really covey their concern for Canadian citizens? I say NOT!

Lost American jobs caint pay mortgages caint buy food lost homes cars can't afford insurance payments feed your families America has been hoodwinked and bamboozled by Trump this is a nightmare

Your hurting your people more than you think. You can’t afford to put tariffs on your people. Canada will be the 51st state. God speed.

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Now the SHEEPLE will not focus on real issues of declining Infrastruture, Healthcare, Housing crisis, increasing govt. survillance, shrinking individual freedoms, rising inflation, declining standard of living, sky rocketting debt & credit card crisis, affordability crisis, joblessness, high unemployment rates, increasing govt deficiet (national debt) and the list goes on.. BUTpeople will bebrain washed to suffer & sacrifice more for this fake conflict between the ruling class on the two sides of the order and across the pond.

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

For all the American's siding with Canada. Did you know Canada has never fulfilled its obligation to Nato. they only pay 1% of its gdp. They are supposed to pat 2%. The united States has been carrying the water for Canada and other countries so they can flaunt social programs like universal healthcare. If they paid their fair share for defense they would not be able to afford it. Its about time these countries start paying the United states back. Since Canada became a member of Nato in 1949 they have never fulfilled their payment obligation, but enjoyed the security of being a member. America pays 4.5% and some other years 6% of our gdp to NATO. with out the US there is no NATO. Maybe Canada should take over for the US. Like that will happen. If Canada was the 51st state they would be the 4th poorest state. Not trying to be mean this is just reality. The dictator of Canada has never cared about his people, or he would have simply secured your damn border. https://www.forcesnews.com/news/world/nato-which-countries-pay-their-share-defence

His own countrymen can't afford to live there currently.

You know… I couldn’t really afford to buy food and survive before the tariffs anyways. That’s why I’m getting sicker and not better. Seniors and disabled Canadians couldn’t survive on $400 or less a month, with regular pricing. Tariffs are only going to make more apparent what was already there, and give politicians a scapegoat, now that they’re forced to pay attention to poverty. Kind of like how Covid became the scapegoat for negligent and non existent health care.

It's time for Canada and other countries to hit back. Trump MUST Understand that he cannot treat sovereign countries like local suppliers or customers. It's a shame and a pity that people who did not vote Trump are forced to endure the consequences of his and Putin's decisions.As for the MAGAS, it will only occur to them when they can no longer afford fuel for their gas guzzlers and eggs for their breakfast.

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

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!”

Man I can not stand trump... I do not get what people where thinking voting him back in.. this is the dumbest thing to elect a man that's so much in to being a Putin puppet.... but what can ya do.. I cant afford to move somewhere else...

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

?? USA! Tariffs make money for the Gov. Makes businesses WANT to come to the US to avoid tariffs. And makes American made goods more affordable compared to the out sourced goods. ?? Good bye Canadian economy ?? ? ?

Did you know that since the beginning of 2022, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordability in Canada. \n\n$10 billion could have built 30,000+ affordable housing units, reducing homelessness and rent prices. $5 billion could have expanded healthcare, hiring doctors and nurses to cut wait times. $2 billion could have Canada has committed approximately $19.7 billion in multifaceted support to Ukraine. Let that sink in.... $19,700,000,000 ?\n\nThis comprehensive assistance includes over $12.4 billion in direct financial aid, the highest per capita contribution among G7 nations, and $4.5 billion in military assistance, intended to be delivered through 2029.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has pledged a $5 billion contribution, with $2.5 billion disbursed recently and the remaining sum to follow soon.\n\nIf Canada had spent the $19.7 billion on domestic issues, it could have significantly improved\nsupported veterans and provided clean water to Indigenous communities, while $3 billion could have upgraded roads and public transit. Another $2 billion could have funded food programs and tax relief to combat rising living costs.\n\nRedirecting this money could have directly improved the lives of millions of Canadians, addressing urgent national crises instead of foreign aid for a fake war that the Ukraine can never win...
