I just visited my local LCBO store in Toronto and saw American alcoholic products taken off the shelves.

Planning my holidays for this Summer,America is off my list,also their products is off my list.

No matter who is the prime minister . We didn't started it and we are not taking laying down. I think this was good enough push back. If Trumpy comes for more Next thing should be the Removing EV tax credit just on Tesla. Invest in Eastern Canada pipeline and refineries , Bring crude or finished product to Montreal and start sending to Europe. Even with higher cost to refine heavy Alberta crude, we can still bring cheaper gas to Europe given that we sell our crude at 57USD to States and USA sells to Europe at 70. In today's rate Canadian finished product (With heavy refine + high transportation cost) in USA is 73USD per barrel as compared to WTI (with lower refine cost + lower transportation cost) is 82 USD. At 2024 exports levels you saved 14.1 Billion dollars per year + all refinery jobs and reason for it is the heavy discount we gave to you on crude oil. Facts tells me you are the free loader. Yeah we are small and gonna be in bad shape But this does not ends well for you too either.

Please encourage your viewers to buy Canadian made products. This is the best way to get back at Trump

All you Canadian that want to boycott American products….. why are you still here using “YouTube”? It’s American product, including Facebook, “X”, IPhone for example!!!

Comment section is quite hilarious lol. Canadians are saying “No more USA product!” on Youtube (USA company). Most businesses use Microsoft (USA company). Majority of data is stored in Amazon (USA company). Smart devices use Nvidia chips (USA company). I’m not trying to favor USA but people gotta know that it’s really really hard not to use USA goods.. especial businesses

The EU is next. How long have they been tariffing and banning US products? I feel the Americans are tired of paying for everything

The US imports more than it exports so even if other countries put the same tariff % the US would still make money no? ?\nPeople saying 'we will stop buying US products' my question is what US products were you buying anyway? ?

I guess starting a trade war with America is preferred over securing the bloody border. All because that pipsqueak Trudeau and his party are desperate to gain credibility before they're annihilated in the next election. And all you people counting on oil exports to Europe to make up for the tens of billions Canada will loose in trade with America, guess you forgot that the Liberals have seriously curtailed oil/LNG production and exports. Not only has Trudeau created alienation and division within Canada, now he's destroying relations with our most trusted ally.

We love the good people of Canada and can’t wait to welcome them as the 51st State.\n\nThe tariffs are meant to crack down on Chinese exports moving through Canada and Mexico as middle men to avoid their own tariffs. Had both Canada and Mexico regulated the terms of our agreements better on “product origin” then none of us would be in this position. Furthermore, China smuggles drugs through both Canada and Mexico using resins that are chemically embedded with synthetic drugs. So, neither Canada nor Mexico should be climbing on any high horses when their exports are killing our people.

Short-term pain; long-term gain. Bring back product to USA.

I am a Canadian in Alberta and the reality is that the Liberals have weakened the Canadian economy and our standing in the world. Their decision to cripple our oil and gas industry and our lack of ability export our products elsewhere in the world is an issue created by the policies of the Liberals. To impose a carbon tax and further weaker the average Canadian is terrible. There are some policies I don't like out of the U.S. but the reality is that it is never an idea to pick a fight with the toughest kid on the block knowing you will lose. Trump doesn't even want the tariffs he wants Canada to pull it's weight in defense spending and cooperation. Trudeau backstabbed Trump in the past and that won't be forgotten. We need a new government with a leader that understands more than being a drama teacher and snowboarder. Unfortunately, most of the significant issues Canada faces is the result of self inflicted wounds resulting from incompetent leadership. We didn't have anywhere close this level of issues with the Harper government. We are lucky to have the U.S. as a neighbor so let's do what is good for both nations but there is no way the woke Liberal's can do it.

Trump disrespects Canada ? by imposing these tariffs. Canadians need to stop buying American products.

US products are overpriced. They invested billions in chatgpt and Chinese app deepseek took few millions to make the compatible app . Fooling US investors

As if other countries won’t add tariffs on USA \nHow about china slaps another 30% on all us products \n\nNike Starbucks Disney etc etc \nLets see USA fights against the world

Canada and Mexico needs to coordinate tariffs to US products to increase their impact.

it's impossible to completely boycott products from USA, for ex: there's no alternative of apple, google, entertainment etc. The YouTube itself is american made.\nwe're so addicted to this products and services.

WE ARE KINGS! ALL HAIL THE USA! \n\nUS citizens will pay less taxes if not none at all if trumps plan falls through! \n\nIf you want to send products here then you pay! ? \nIf not, then sell a lot less other places. If US citizens pay more for products than it doesn’t matter because we no longer pay income taxes! ????

Not just Canadians and Mexicans, but people from all over the world should stop buying American made products. Let's all help Make America Great Again!!!

I will never buy American products ever again, and I live in America. Very embarrassing!

Already stopped buying US products,

That’s good, so the tariffs should be made permanent, so all GE production is brought in-country.

The world will bycot US products. Lies deceit and creating mistrust are all Trump has to offer.

They place tariffs on ALL US products, try to buy a can of Pringles in Ottowa.....

You don't need to pull American products off the shelves. We're perfectly capable of boycotting them completely on our own.

Good, now we need to stop sending every country foriegn aid. We hired President Donald Trump to do these things. This will hurt Mexico and Canada far more than it will the United States. It is very hypocritical for other country's that already have tariffs on American made products to say that it is wrong for the United States to tariff their products. We do not care that it will crush your economies because we are done with propping up your economy at the expense of American workers and jobs. It is absolutely amazing that fair trading has practices are scaring your country's.

Export tax on Canadian oil and gas to the US. We can develop new markets for these products Europe and Asia need reliable energy supply

Who will pay the tariffs?? Yup, grassroot americans that soon may find the price of the fruits imported from Mexico jumps up 25% and also the oil price + raw minerals imported from Canada would jump 25% as well, which at the end, would seriously affects the price of end products of some daily items needed by grassroot americans

Mexico and Canada should only target with tariffs, US products made in Republican states.

As European I don’t buy anything made in USA anymore, and we want Canadian products! All of them! May European shelfs be filled with cheap products !

Stop buying US--products

I didn't even know Canada has products besides maple syrup before this

People who do not know how the customs duty system works think that the customs duty is paid by the country where the goods are imported, but this is not true. The importer company pays the customs duty in the country that imports. The importer company collects the tax it pays from the people of that country by adding it to the price of the goods it sells in that country. Therefore, a 25% customs duty will cause the price of the products sold in the United States to increase. The increase in product prices will also cause inflation to increase. Inflation will cause the purchasing power of people in the United States to decrease.

How to suck money out of savings accounts of the end consumers? Tariffs on all the popular products you can't domestically produce.

CANADIANS SHOULD START BUYING CANADIAN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. GO CANADIANS

everything is so politicized now. for those how dont know ancient Greece was probably the first nation to use tariffs to protect their own products... to keep their own farms and pottery industry healthy and not rely so much on outside countries for staple goods Alexander Hamilton adopted this approach for America \nHamilton's goals for tariffs: \nRepay the country's foreign and domestic debt \nMeet the government's operating expenses \nPromote manufacturing in the United States \nFulfill the goals of his Report on Manufactures \nmind you there were NO INCOME TAXES... that's right.. absolutely NONE! the entire nation ran on funds from tarrifs!

We should be able to make all our own products. It is too bad our great companies left the US. Time to bring them back. What the rest of the world doesn't understand is we don't need you

With reciprocal tariffs of 25%, the US is the winner, having a trade deficit of about 55 billion dollars in 2024 with Canada. That is, exports of Canadian products to the US are significantly higher than imports of US products to Canada.

Canada just put a 100% tariff on Moonshine, Banjos and Alligator products.

Canada exports more than 20% of its gross domestic product to the US, while the US sends only 1.2% of GDP to its northern neighbor

Isnt this a great idea? We export almost all our oil to be refined in the USA and sold back to us as finished products. Thats a 1.56x increase

Well, cant stand justin. But... \n\nCanadian's have been hurting bad for a few years now. What's a few more. \n\nI say screw tariffs. Just shut it all off. Power, oil, movie production, soft lumber, maple syrup, ALL natural resources. \n\nJust dont sell it to them at all.\n\n\nBuild up our own infrastructure and become the global monster we should be.\n\nProudly Canadian!

I hope Canada wants to eat all their food. We in the USA already have the same products.

Canadians you did right. And we europeans will and should follow. American products will get expensive all over the world and sales will decrease. Then the MAGA guys will understand. Paying more at home, selling less into the world. Autsch, that will hurt.

I am from a southeast EU country. I wanted to boycott US products here, but could not find any :)

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

I’m ok with just using USA products. Trump is right.?????

What a joke ?? US can simply send those products somewhere else ??

Canadians just need to stop buying American products and trade with Europe

Nobody can beat USA in a tariff war because we have the biggest trade deficit with everyone. Simply we import more than export.\n\nY'all just gonna unleash more tariffs upon yourselves by making Trump mad. \n\nFor us it's a win-win. Either we get a balanced trade deal ⚖️ or we start making our own products.
