Doesn’t bother me. I have a cushy six figure job. But I will delight in seeing Trump voters squirm under the higher food prices he gives them.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

Is this guy for real? Doesn't he realize that we don't need Canadian food or Canadian steel or Canadian oil? We do that s*** to help you. We can produce all the natural resources we need right here, we don't have to import them.

I do not understand where all of you were before. The cars were more expensive, the canadian grown food was more expensive, the tv/cell/ internet providers were more expensive, insurances were more expensive, everything were more expensive and you expect me to support Canadian economy? I do not think so . I still buy only US products.

Canadian problem is literally same as England and France. No housing Not enough food but invited all Immigrants, legal or not giving them $$$$$$$

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

their food stinks anyways, buy icelandic and greenlandic export instead.

Just so it's known but America has never been self-sufficient. We have always been reliant on others with good trade and fairness towards each other. My grandparents went through ww2 and had to go through rations on everything from gas, oil to food and tires. You got a book for everything and had to tear them out to get your products. They said back 1943 they had to keep the farm and barely made it to vday. You all need to look at history and research things. These Republicans and president is gonna ruin farms and cost people to the point they will have to choose their meds or food. Never in my wildest imagination did I think we could have sunk so low and loosing allies and gaining a dictator that was a known Assassin and removed voting in Russia and here we have a guy in charge trying to imitate him. I guess criminals stick together

The Canada should put 50% tariff to America foods instead

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

The trade war is on indeed! Buckle up everyone. Stock up on food, water, and essential supplies. Keep enough cash in your possession, keep enough cash in your possession, and best of all, PRAY. This is a war between ideologies, and WE, The People, are right in the middle of it.

What about Maccas, KFC and BK...? put 50% tariff, open CANADIAN-owned healthy fast food ?

What would it be like if Trump spoke coherently, had common sense, and stood up for our allies and condemned our enemies? I stand with Canada and Mexico. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with those less fortunate who need food and healthcare. I am from the U.S.

Western world needs to boycott all yank products especially the shite food like McDonald's and KFC and every other kip,,be a much healthier place,, boycott everything,,in a few months we will be more than happy with what we produced,,

? all the H1-Visa workers came from your country and came to America. Now they have brang all their parents, Grandparents to come leach off free medical and food stamps!!

I don't think most Americans realize how much the price of everyday items clothing, electronics, toiletries/cosmetics, food, housing, etc will increase because of these tariffs. If they think inflation was bad under Biden, they haven't seen anything yet.

We don’t dislike American people; we dislike Donald Trumps attitude towards Canada! ?? \n\nWe’ve already started to boycott American food & other products in our grocery stores! \n\n“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!”\n~Justin Trudeau\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!\n\nGod help us all!

What exports do usa sell around the globe? Coca cola, Macdonald/fast food. Garbage fatty food. Automobiles, all shit. , clothing, all cheap nasty crap. No one byesLevi's, nike, polo , say goodbye to Burberry, gucci, d&d McQueeni could go on in the thousandsof brands. US OIL , SHALE OIL, poor quality, shit beer, shit wine, shit whiskey etc etc . OPEC WONT CAVE. CANADA already, stopping Electric from Canada to Northern US stares. Already crops dying on the vine, etc because the workers have bee deported. And now he stop aid, to Ukraine. Europe, Uk, Commonwealth Countries, increases nations every day now, is turning it/ their backs. What shame, truly a shame.

Not all Americans are with Trump or Putin. Many of us stand with Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Americans love their country, but many Americans are hurting and suffering and feel let down by our government. It's a circus now. We are sick and tired of the high cost of taxes, food, gas, housing, and now these tariff's that are only going to hurt Americans more.

Trump's plan is to be a dictator. Tariffs, lack of access to education, lack of affordable healthcare, lack of affordable housing, lack of access to nutritious food causes American's to focus their attention on basic needs Shelter and Food. When American's are repressed they don't have the energy to fight Gov't oppression. This is Russia and China's playbook. Canada and Mexico are being used to achieve this evil goal.

I don’t like Trudeau. I don’t like the way his country is suffering under his rule - by that I mean the poverty the Canadians are living in whilst he takes expensive vacations and eats 5 star food - and I agree more with the opposition. I also don’t like the black face joke he pulled years ago. But in this instance, against the trump administration, I fully support and agree with what he is saying. This is the stupidest trade war in history. This is going to screw up all countries involved. Stand for democracy!

U are baby food to the best country in your world America will prevail.u will see boa noite

American farming is genuinely screwed without Canadian potash. The number of American citizens who will starve is going to increase drastically. Trump is Literally raising the price of food.

He is right Canada ? at is trump doing at all same reason he is selling American government houses we the seniors can't afford higher food is ridiculous. 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

Trudeau its time Canada starts innovating, extracting the loads of natural resources we have, trim down the government and corrupt waste, and use carbon tax money to Produce our own Green energy. Electric cars, buses, rail, solar. Were is the billions of tax and carbon tax going. Our infostructure is piss poor, high utility bills, food, cost of living and housing is unaffordable

Yo! A lot of people gonna die in hospitals when the electricity gets whacked out. A lot of food gonna go bad in grocery stores. A lot of seniors and special needs gotta have that electricity on for medical reasons.

Canada ur fucd udont gro ur own food .merka

Anyone notice how MAGA griped about food prices and the cost of living in general during the Biden Administration but seem perfectly content with high prices with Trump in there. Biden deported more people during his term than Trump did during his first term but MAGAs don't want to acknowledge that.

Only reason tariffs will hurt the economy is because the masses have been conditioned to buy ? that's not necessary. People have gotten so used to having things done for them that they can't bare to not have everything done for them. The mental stupidity the news keep trapping the zombies is not surprising. When we gotta hunt for our food the weeds will be exposed

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 think the tarrifs are good. it bring local products back to our own county. also supporting local farmers and local manufacturing creating job in our home country we need to throw out trudaue and get rid of waste war in supporting in Ukraine. Im pretty happy to see more local food in my groceries stores.

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.

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

Canada people can't buy Food

Trump and his entire baboon administration is a joke and Trump only got elected because promised to lower prices on day 1 and he Has done EVERYTHING except that. TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! He is a Complete dumb ass who is hurting our country's place in the world's eyes. Not to mention he is only trying to put as much money in his and his Cronies pockets he is taking food off of the middle classes tables and doing his best to erraticate the middle class completely.. We can't stand for this.

As a Canadian. We know our prime minister is preventing an election by prologuing parliament. He isn't as great as you think. Our little economy is 1.9 trillion half of California's. Were literally only hurting ourselves here with more taxes. aka tariffs. This guy is playing politics to try to get votes. by rallying up nationalism. Trying to play the hero. He's made our lives unaffordable here in Canada for the last 9 years. Housing food bills. Ethics breaches, Chinese payoffs to his parties politicians, spending Canadians money on his friends. Enough of this guy. Quit delaying our election dictator.

Wasn't me that voted for a maniac like tRump I stand with Canada on this even though I am one of the many thousands of Americans living paycheck to pay check and have to choose bills over food and medicine. Yeah thanks tRump for destroying everything we hold dear

Lots of americans lost their job already thanks to Trump for this blessing and smart move.Trump voters are now on food stamp. ???

They don't care they hate us they want to kill us we're all in trouble we're scared to death they're shutting down everything or Medicaid or Medicare our food stamps everything they're going to take the middle class out within a matter of months and don't trust him a bit.

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

Where was Trudeau when water and food was stopped on Palestinians? USA SUPPONSERED Genocide in Gaza.

He’s going to pull the energy plug on the Midwest. Ugh and Trump won’t care if we’re in the dark, no heat and all your valuable food is going to spoil. Trump is degrading the country to turn it into a dictatorship. Starve us, bankrupt us to make it easier to control us.

People talking about a war are out of their mind. You would be against Canada, Mexico, AND HALF YOUR NEIGHBORS!!! ??? Trumps favorite people ( the uneducated) gonna be pissed when their food stamps and medical coverage disappear

so exactly what this trudo is doing making it harder to get food heat and everything that is transported more expensive all I want to know is when are you going to leave office and Im your not your Canadian i am Canadian
