Every single country has huge tariffs against our country. All Trump wants is for them to pay us the same we pay them. Why any taxpayer would be upset is against it is beyond me. Course Trudeau just said he was going to sacrifice his citizens in a forever war that is already lost. Thank God Trump will protect our citizens and just wants a even playing field. Canada has gotten away with robbing us long enough.
Defends Trump's tariff policy on economic grounds (fair trade, leveling the playing field) while criticizing Trudeau's military stance.

The strategy of corporations exploiting illegal labour practices are never going to go away since it encourages cheap labour without any benefits is a huge leverage for the companies and the government and of course the last but not the least steps like these are not solutions for the unemployed local workers but a huge excuse for the so called organisations to open a huge black market for the illegals even more with higher rates of shipping the possible jobs abroad
Analyzes economic impacts of immigration policy, focusing on labor exploitation, corporate incentives, and effects on local workers.

I think Trump is tired of our trade deficit with Canada. I have faith in Trump. This has nothing to do with the Canadian people. If people want to have a mutual alliance, then they have to step up and play fair as well.\n\nGod bless President Trump, America and the World in Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen! ??
Commenter frames the issue as a trade deficit problem requiring fair reciprocal behavior, grounding the argument in economic concerns rather than personal animosity.

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.
Provides trade statistics and economic rationale for tariffs, analyzing the economic relationship between countries and its policy implications.

Let's start distinguishing North Indians with South Indians. Most south Indians work harder there, than most Canadians and for the same price but jobs that most Canadians don't do.

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.
Extended discussion of inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and economic policy impacts with historical examples.

This is not a trade war. This is recouping the money that other country's owe us. PAY WHAT YOU OWE OR PAY THE TARRIF. IT'S SIMPLE.WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COUNTRY
