What are they doing? Good government is the one makes cost of living lower.

Canadians fail to realize the Cost of Transporting Goods to Countries outside of North America. Currently Canadian Goods are Trucked or Railed into United States Daily whereas Cargo Ships would be Required and take weeks/months for Delivery to Asia or Europe.

Let's remove the GST to upset the costs for consumers since the government are collecting billions dollars from Tariffs. Otherwise, you're not together with us. You the government collecting the Tariffs, we are paying a higher price, how can this mean we are together?

Why does Canada bother with Tariffs on US goods?\nCost and CO2 pressures demand that Canada review its costs situation with energy and oil into the USA.\nMany costs have risen and they need to be passed on in a per mega Watt and Mega Barrel basis.\nFurthermore. Canada must step up its electrical and oil supply system maintenance to include twice daily stoppages to US bound energy so that system safety and performance is controlled.\nNext.\nCanada has a clear obligation to the USA to prevent a Russia/EU dependency occurring. So further stoppages to service delivery require urgent implementation.\nDo not worry. Emperor Trump will not sue. The US Lawyers know now they will not be paid by Trump.

Tariffs stick around for decades and the entire cost of them is passed onto the consumer. Ridiculous by both nations.

Maybe I shouldn't like this but I do. Firstly, Canada has the luxury of not really needing to protect itself, they get to spend 3% what the US does on their military so they can focus on other things, like letting immigrants into the Country to price out the native Canadians and jailing people for misusing pronouns. Also, I want to see the US become slightly more isolationist, I'll happily pay more for US products. A tariff is paid buy the businesses who attempt to pass that cost down to the consumer. We need tariffs high enough that making things in the US makes more sense to these businesses.

Trump has already admitted: Tariffs do raise the US Cost of Living and that they are paid by US Consumers (including MAGA Consumers) NOT by the foreign country. He originally imposes a 25% Trump Tariff on Canada but only 10% on its oil and gad exports to the US. WHY?! Because he knows Tariffs will increase the Cost of oil imported to the US and therefore gas prices, and increase the Cost of Living to MAGA Consumers and decrease his political support. Trump is a grifter, so anything he proclaims is likely 10% truth and 90% Lies. Watch what he does and not what he says!

Raising tariffs are effectively the same as raising taxes, which is something that Americans have been crying to do for years. Whether you are raising taxes on the rich or levying tariffs, at the end of the day, the cost will be passed down to the consumer. From the perspective of a producer, is there really a difference between a tariff and a tax?

Nonsense analysis! For Canada importing from the rest of the world will cost the same as tariff. So, practically, people in Canada pay the cost.

Costs America about 30 billion, they stand to make over 100 billion from Canada in tarrifs.America is still better off and will gain more industry and employment.

How much is all of this going to cost?

It’s not about them being fit to serve CNN lies it is about about using federal funds to transition. When your active duty your health insurance is covered. So the cost of active duty members transition comes out is federal funds.

Why Kaitlin Collins get so much privilege in CNN when there are so many more highly qualified people to take her spot. She is just not good enough for the Job. She should be given the Jim Acosta Spot now he is leaving. She is hemorrhaging viewers and costing CNN money

Surgeries performed in military costs taxpayers $150,000 a surgery…Then 36 months of follow up treatments. It’s time it stopped

I want to know about the Ottawa social life, grocery.and living cost at this place.Because this coming February I will there working at this Ottawa Canada with the local company

Shut them all down and send them back , driving the housing crisis, use of food banks driving the cost of everything up destroying the Canadian economy. The schools lied to them, not our problem, we Canadians owe them nothing.

As uncomfortable as it may be this needs to happen. This is a very generous country for legal , key word , immigration. This whole amplified mess with its crime , drugs , smuggling people and dissapiintment for the immigrants themselves , is the absolute fault of the Biden admin , mayorkus , and the democrat party. Look at what their desire for perpetual power by trying to gain voters has cost so many. Shame on them.

Remember, Trump promised he would lower the cost of groceries. He also said he was going to impose tariffs on imported goods from other countries. You should know that tariffs will RAISE the cost of living not lower it. When Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he said tariff costs are passed along to consumers which may cause short term disruption. But then said he wasn’t concerned about disruption because we should understand. We can’t afford food and gas now. This POTUS has no brain!

Thank God Kamala lost, or we would have gotten another 24 million of them. Can you imagine the cost to take care of these people that the Dems let in? The divide that number by approximately 100 million tax paying working adults. I figure about eight thousand dollars, every year, for every working adult in America to pay

Im all for transgender millitary nan. Most countries kill transgender and gay people. We cant help afew while putting most other soldiers in danger. They are not meeting medical standards, because ypu healthcare costs are astronomical and will only get worse as you age. Americans voted and choose not to pay for unnecessary, non lifethreatening surgeries, and you will eventually die from having the surgery. The medications that are required to take will kill you, but not before the multiple serious health issues that ypu will endure. The tax payers cannot continue to pay for ypur medically unnecessary desires. You have been casterated. Please leave the millitary, because that is absolutely insane!

It's not that Americans can't find houses houses cost too much

Lived in Texas during Trump 1.0 , watched groceries and fuel cost skyrocket. Keep your cheap alcohol and cigarettes, keep your gun violence try your thoughts and prayers on the borders . USA is are redneck neighbour.

Canada is not place to live...for my job I did visit and my company ask to live there for 5 years if I want... but I run back to spain....canada cold and high cost of living...dont know why indians like cold canada?

All the costs will go up from now. Hope local Americans are ok with working at 5 dollar per hour. Or you just pay 25⇨ 40 dollar a meal

I've been homeless 3 times due to mental health and costs of housing

I have a brilliant idea. We all know that it cost a lot of money $50k just to keep a single black person into prison.... nvm i don't wanna sound racist.

Allowing illegal immigrants into the U.S is a slap into the face of immigrants who with many effort and cost enter the U.S.

I guess the financial cost of medication to keep a trans person in their adopted gender is a big burden. Thousands of gallons of estrogen & testosterone !!!

This will cost huge huge amount of money, spend away with no return why not give all of them amnesty and start to tighten immigration law and stop the asylum system.

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?

What choice is there illegal Criminals means Illegal Criminals needs deportations whatever the cost. There is 7000 illegal Criminals in America Most of them were transported by Drug Cartels they are murderers, paedophiles, terrorists ,kidnappers ,sadistic and violent. American people had to suffer in their hands if Trump dont get rid of them

CNN should do a story on tariffs. The consumers bear the cost.

Must stop them at all cost

I live in Toronto and ive been around Canada. In all the cities of Canada, it is way way worse than 10 years ago. I don't recognize it anymore. Drugs, crime, and cost. It sucks right now.

I have Leukemia. I have to take a particular medication, that costs $8400.00 PER BOTTLE. Doesn't cost ME a cent...ahhhh Living in Canada is so much easier....

More of Trump's bullsh+t and lies. 1. There are no facilities to house 30,000 people. 2. It would take 4 to 6 years to build the facility and cost between $5.5 to $20 billion. In other words, more hot air to play to his base with no hope of ever making it happen.

How does America handle the transportation cost from America to their home countries? Are the air tickets funded by the American government, or are the immigrants forced to buy their own tickets out of the country?

people still don't get it, they demand public housing and government help, when that's exactly why there's an issue. Too many regulations, permits, costs, licensing, carbon tax, unions etc. to build... we have a marxism problem, not a free market problem

“It can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after so-called transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics,” the White House document about Trump’s new trans military order states. “In this time, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and continue to require consistent medical care. This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.”\n\nThe document alleges that Biden’s order undoing Trump’s last restriction on trans people serving in the military ordered the Department of Defense to “pay for service members’ transition surgeries, as well as those of their dependent children — at a cost of millions of dollars to the American taxpayer.”

Who is paying for this? How much is this going to cost?\nIt cost the American tax payer to accommodate illegals in the USA, $150 billion over one year, that doe not include the cost of law enforcement and court system dealing with the ones that committed additional crime in the USA.\nWhen they are off US soil, Americans will not get victimised by these that commit crime on US streets.

Pease freeze on spending on Meals on Wheels for 2.2M seniors. They/ seniors throw food a way. Meals are not healthy and cheap. Not fresh veggi. and most child care programs for illegal people: Do you know how much delivery baby and care cost fr Hospital < $180 K. Illegal mother put her child to free day care (child care programs) to go college (free). Illegal are free every things in USA and wait to get citizenship then vote to Democrat (system).

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

?(Cost MORE to house Troops in Guantanamo)? no No NO! The Troops get paid WHEREVER! they live! Get a Life which contains 'Common Sense'. Thank You

I had a friend who's mom put her in mental hospital when she was younger. She told them she threatened self harm. She didn't, her mom was just a Bitc$. Later she went into military when she got older and that 3 month visit in hospital cost her a promotion. YES THE MILITARY REQUIRES YOU TO BE MENTALLY FIT.

Conservatives: “Tax payer money can’t pay for this!”\n\nOK, well you don’t seem to complain when tax payer money funds Viagra for male veterans, or birth control for female veterans, which btw costs THE EXACT SAME as hormones for transition.

Sorry, but allowing Trans people to serve does nothing for readiness or the Country. In fact the cost associated with making them acceptable by the BS training and complaints really isn't worth it. They account for .03% of the military, which comes out to be roughly 3900 people out of 1.3 million active duty. I keep hearing it would take 10 years to get back to operation readiness afforded by trans contributions? REALLY? Are you telling me that those 3900 are the backbone of military? Personally, I have nothing against these people and Shilling can still serve but as his born sex.

And exactly what function does this he/she/it/whatever perform in the navy? And how much did the operation cost us?

The transgender 'problem' is a classic tale of how Murdoch's Fakes News promotes and amplifies a narrative that soon finds its way into Republican politics. (Antifa, Hunter Biden crime family, take your pick...) American voters must be made to worry about something else than cost of living now when they have voted Donald Trump back into office.

Another distraction by Trump and the MAGA! I support the Commander and thank you for your service! How will this executive order reduce grocery costs?

What difference does it make? Both men AND women serve. What about the cost of living and important issues that people actually care about?
