I'm really really curious why so many people want to go to the USA? I never interested in the USA, it's extremely poor and dictator country

Many of my friends went to the USA illegally but now they got citizenship \nWill the Trump government going to deport them as well???

Is he going to deport the over 500,000+ ILLEGAL ‘WHITE’ EUROPEANS, as well as the ILLEGAL ALBANIAN and RUSSIAN MAFIA in the USA?!

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

It sad but I'm glad because now americans will do the dirty works themselves. The price of food will rise up! For example the price of tomatoes because the farmers lost all the illigals workers. ??? Now will see who's going to really suffer. It's the end of Babylon ?\nPlus if you love avocados just know that Mexico is the biggest supplier for the USA.? The taste of your guacamole ? is going to be bitter???

China is just going to fill the gap of the USA with these tariffs. Trump is trying to punish everyone yet everyone is just going to ignore America

Canadian Pm talks alot of nonsense. You do not want to have problems with the USA. Go ahead and find out

Trump had 4years to think about everything he is doing . People like him write everything they think of everyday . Its going to work out for the USA whatch and see.

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

We were planning a family trip to the USA next month. Instead we are going to Dominican Republic. That's 8000$ not going in the United States economy. Oh well.

All the people in comment \nNot going to buy usa products \nWhat does usa make you need ??\nI have nothing made in usa\nClothes food electronics etcetc

If Canada wants to go with China , Damn good for USA ; Most of the countries surrounding India , Economy collapsed plus some African nations ; They moved out of China now ; Make a proper deal with Trump ; All he wants no drugs / human trafficking into USA

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Next step Annex Canada to the USA!! Let's go people stop playing around. Let's do this! Canada must join the USA, you can't win this! lol Canadian serfs cannot be taxed (Fleeced) anymore than they already are...

We in usa welcome the tariffs on canada. Go trump!!

What can we expect from a convicted felon President who bankrupted a CASINO ? Now he is going to hurt Americas friends and bankrupted the USA very sad

Way to go Canada, USA business will just stop shipping to you and what are you going to do without USA goods and services?

Who going to buy 79% of Canada goods exported to USA?

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

Canada should implement a 10 to 15 percent export tariff on all of the goods going into the USA. Don’t put any tariffs coming into Canada , just let Canadians prosper

yea I think the people of Mexico are going to hurt the most then Canada mexico has a 40% export GDP and Canada has a 30% export GDP USA not so much because the GDP of USA is only 10% USA wont really blink tbh going to be interesting what happens.

But our country USA has alot of land. And enough raw resources. Unless every city going to look like New York, we are good

The USA has elected it's worst president in Donald Trump. I still don't see what translates to competence or professionalism in Trump. He may be a necessary figure to reset certain things. But he is going to harm America's socioeconomic status

According to google Canada's experts to Usa were 590billion dollars in 2023 and president trump put a %25 tariff for all of it excluding energy.\nNow Canada responded with 30 billion tariff with same rate things such as florida orange juice, tennessee whiskey ... and planning to put another 120billion worth of goods of Usa don't lift the tariffs in 21 days. In any way from these numbers, it looks like Usa is going to rip off canada a lot.\n\nReal response should have been %25 tariff to all usa goods without exception until they lift their tariffs!

Canada fails to stop illegal immigration? How TF does that even happen when Canada is hemmed in by USA? The Greenlanders/Icelandics going to US to look for jobs?!? *Insert confused Jackie Chan picture here*

I'm a gas station oil purchaser and we just got the call on prices expecting to rise significantly Tuesday. Get ready everyone, this won't be good.\n\nStock up on food and gas if possible now. It's going to keep getting worse as other countries join in on retaliation. Remember these countries are only fighting against us while we're fighting against all of them. USA has very little natural resources quickly available (California water situation)

Trump shut down Canada and Mexico border. Game over. USA got ports to bring goods in from other countries. Mexico and Canada prices will go through the roof. Find a different trade route to each other and it won't be by land..

This is completely funny!!! They're going to deport every black person and say that it doesn't matter that you were born in the USA. Bye, bye, Elon Musk!!! He's African, born in South Africa.

???I don't know of any Canadian of sound mind wanting to move to the USA. Your country is now governed by authoritarians, a convicted criminal t rump and his stupid maga maggots! Your country is literally collapsing. Your country is filled with hatred and racism!! Why on earth would Canadians want to live in a country that's going backwards.We love our multiculturalism and our universal healthcare. We don't like your ridiculous, long-drawn-out politics! Our country is a million times safer than your country, which has a bunch of foolish people running amuck with guns and semi-automatic rifles. I would never want my kids to go to your schools because your education is not that great. I also don't want my kids to be afraid of going to schools.... you have crazy people who are racists, including students who shoot kids, teachers..... good grief!!

Go home and fix your country. You will live better and be happier. USA works and taxes you to death.

Good, finally. All able bodied men in the USA should go get jobs at the border patrol. I applied to do my part.

Nobody care lol….Let’s go USA first…

Good for the USA, go Mr Trump!

USA going down.

They want to come to America and spray paint graffiti and wave their flags and speak their own language... You see how Poland is going.. A war will be here soon. Bunch of freeloaders. USA government bends for them. 1950s there was 86% White race. Look at American now. The USA government gives money to the poor and they multiply while the people who have to work do not have big families.

USA is closed for repairs go back home, come legally

African American should also go, the usa would be much safer

Nobody has a right to illegally enter any country. It's illegal. It's criminal act. Law is law. There is no excuse of asylum. USA is already over crowded. They need to all go back or sent back. ❤❤

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.

Well done USA - when are we in europe going to get leaders who put keeping us law abiding citizens safe as a priority?

Their President of those illegal immigrant must fix their country so people will not go to USA . If they can give jobs to them and housing especially the poor. Because America is Land of oppurtunity\n\nAlien think that they have the right to go to USA or entitlement.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAA usa has some weird issues going on

It was so bad ! Why they must go to America not there country .they wanted to robbers USA ?

Millions of indians will be deported from USA and Canada and gulf countries too\nCause they go and not come back ??????

I was working with a married couple from Australia, they came here to the USA legally but they were itching to go back to Australia. They hated it here in the USA
