Discourse Analysis

But my cheaper eggs ?

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

Canadians, you do understand that anything american we buy will be 25% more expensive, right? Not because of Trump, but because of Trudeau. You apply tariffs on what you import, not export.

Congratulations America, you voted for Trump and now you're going to feel the full extent of your decision. Imported good are going to increase, inflation is increasing and your markets are going DOWN. Doesn't look like your winning, does it.

U guys should tariff 50% on apple products to Canada

You just raised the price of food and goods for your own country. Not smart. Canada cannot win a trade war and their economy is already a mess.

Yall are sheep. \nEvery country needs imports. But America relies on so many other countries to keep itself going is more than unhealthy. If China and the US went to war, yes, China would suffer. But look around your house, I bet most of it says - Made In China. That can NOT happen to the extent it is. \n\nFun Fact- when Russia, Ukraine war started, Russia couldn’t get Coke ( Soda ) now Russia has many knock offs that they say taste just like ours. Point is, Russia started making their own. Yes, the US will always need imports. But did you know over a dozen + countries already have & had tariffs on the US for a LONG time, some are even our “ Allies “. Do you know why they do it? To protect their economy. To protect domestic goods. The short term is always the hardest. But it’s been proven that the long run, tariffs actually help a country’s economy. Also, the US gets shafted when it comes down to a lot of trade deals. Yeah, okay, imports are great… ( If you are getting a good deal )

For normal people it will be expensive

the US didnt launch a trade war you stupid fux.. we have had a trade DEFICIT with Canada and just about every other country for YEARS. Trump wants reciprocal trade. congratulations Mr. Prime Minister you just dug your own grave. Canada cannot survive without the US.

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.

Very true nobody wins in a trade war!

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

here we go!!! we need inflation to go higher...then we spend less and prices go lower....buckle up we really need this, the federal reserve failed us they didn't bring inflation down.

Did we NOT LEARN with Trumps LAST TARIFFS? It cost our farmers their markets and cost AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BILLIONS to bail them out of bankruptcy. And DAWNY doubles down now. What’s it going to cost us NOW? Because IT IS GOING TO COST US.

Ur canadian dollar is worthless.....ur population not big enough to suppporr themselves....actually is the other way round

I like some of the indians but honestly they are taking all our jobs now. It's not just east coast, It's the same here out west where I am. Send em the hell back dude

Thank Justin Trudeau for this. I was born here in Ottawa and live in low income housing. I worked since 16 years of age times have changed. Immigrants need to be sent back. All the people from India have taken jobs at Esso, Shell, Tim Hortons. Citcle K, McDonald's, Walmart!!!

You should've visited Cape Breton. Very similar conditions maybe worst. They put us in a housing crisis. Hard to find a place to live causing huge rent hikes.

canada exports 75+% of its overall products into the united states, it only imports 50ish% overall products from the united states of america. This is why the tariffs are in place. Agree or disagree, this is why trump is doing what hes doing. Our country is in shambles and we need our allies to pump money into our economy or else it will only get worse in our country. And both canada and mexico are outraged by the simple way trump is approaching this.
