As a Canadian I'm doing my part and quite a few people I know are also doing this . We are avoiding buying anything from the U.S . And ive also seen big red labels on products now that say made in Canada.

im american and stand with canada and mexico! i wanted to boycott american made products, but everything here is made in china LOL ...

Will to those countries trump sanctions, stand tall as America wouldn't be able to hold for long. They needs your products ,you must now group together and counter with your sanctions too ! Only when he surrenders ,but still must keep your sanctions on .until he begs like a begger .

Don't be silly, don't make your own people pay taxes on goods from the US. Make it harder on the people in the US by charging additional tariffs on exports to the US. Starve the Americans because they need your products and services. They cannot afford to go it alone.

Canada and Mexico’s 25% does not actually equal US’s 25%. Canada and Mexico are consumers more than producers. They are both addicted to American investments and products and the US wants to bring jobs back to the US.

There are so many countries that are willing to trade with the US and will replace Canada and Mexico.Why do you think Trump didnt put tariffs on Europe straight away?\nThe small European countries are the winners and their trade with the USA will increase dramatically. And the products will still be chealer than those from Canada.

Please raise tarrifs to 600% for Tesla products

We must boycott all American companies and American consumer products and chains starting immediately. We must make local products for our population, this will create jobs locally and boost our economy. Start making local products that are better than the US and market them as locally made and owned by our own population.

The US has been running a trade deficit with Mexico, China, and Canada for almost two decades now—Canada only makes up 6% of all US imports while the US makes up 63% of all Canadian imports.\n\nCanada will have to find more trade partners besides the US if it doesn't want its consumers paying 25% more for US goods, most of which are mechanical machinery, automotive parts and vehicles, minerals, medical equipment, energy products, and consumer goods.

The Canadians get screwed enough by their own government with taxes and policies destroying their standard of living. Even when currencies adjusted the same product in CA costs much more then in the USA.

? China has raised(9%-13%) prices on its exports to the United States. Decoupling... \n 2024 — China to reduce or cancel export tax rebates for various products , effective from Dec. 1.

Ironically, Trump's tarrifs could be good for the environment as they will cause recessions in b many countries, reduce Worldwide consumption, production and carbon emissions ?

We europeans already started to boycott US products. I will buy european products first, then canadian, australian, japanese and so on. US is at the end of the list, with China.

Issue is China. Rather than Punishing China, Trump got mad at the number shown. Infact all countries must impose 100% tariff on china. Atleast US, Canada, EU must cooperate between themselves to impose them on china. Any Product made in china must carry 100% tariff until china floats its currency.

America don't need the world. America have God. Trump don't succumbs. Trump should immediately banned Mexico and Canada products to the USA

No products from USA brands and companies, boycott ?

The problem is that there are probably no canadian products that people in the US use everyday

Canada, place a 35% tariff on all Elon' s products and provide a 15 k grant for the Polestar and all other non American made electric cars.

Higher inflation, loss of jobs, less produce and products, slower economy… good job President Bully, you did it all by yourself!

This will bring Canada closer to Asia. Who has the most products with the lowest cost and who needs energy more the US does?

Not a single penny should go to U.S. products—not even for a vacation in the U.S.

Time to ditch apple products.

I live in Denmark. American products are a no-go for me. Still have to use Meta, like Google and YouTube though. I will search for alternatives.

Nice job Canada. I hope you stand your ground and stick with this.\nContinue to connect w/ Mexico & I hear other countries are going to work with you & Mexico to keep you guys strong.\nIt’s probably a good thing since you won’t have to deal with the toxins the America puts in all of our products, especially since we now don’t have any regulations to protect the consumers.\nI am cheering for Canada & Mexico from the US. But as soon as I can convince my parents to leave…take us please, unless CA becomes part of Canada or Mexico. ?

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

President Trump has been bought by Ilan Musk. All these tariffs maybe brought about to support people buying his products.

American here. I support Canada and Mexico boycotting our products. Less demand means lower prices for us. It's a win win for both sides :)

Canada you can sell your products to China or any other nations…don’t depend on USA!

Canadian oil is the worst , most expensive, most habitat destroying oil production in the world. It’s a terrible way of getting oil.

Canada buy more products from USA than China,Japan,UK,France combined, Canada is the major supplier of energy to USA

As a European living in Canada I noticed right after we got here that quality and even availability of good European product is lacking. All the American backwards product never impressed me. The only thing is that Canadians are so slow with everything. Also nice Toyota trucks, right from Asia, I never understood that just because they aren't available in the US, why don't we have them here?

A good chance for chinese product???

Let Trudeau stay if Canadians are so proud of him. Trump is bringing back conservatism, resilience, hard work and merits back into US culture. And its no doubt conservative people can bear hardship far much more than woke people.\n1 week into the tarrifs when the reality hits hard, Canada would be on the streets. Negotiate before the tarrifs kick off... This fight would be counter productive for both sides, but Canada would suffer 10 times more.

TRUMP pushing back.on the liberal bullies . Pushing comunism and ripping offthe american people. We don't need your products anyway . Keep voting for crooks that run your countries for decades now. Going to buy a tesla to support free speach and doge .

I'm mexican, and I will buy canadian, chinese and mexican products.

As an American I believe ALL Canadians should boycott US products and spending in the USA. This is not how the USA should treat its allies and friends. Now Canada will never trust the US and things will escalate. To all those commenters that say the USA has the upper hand and will win this battle, yeah maybe so but that's not how you treat allies and in the end the common man on both sides of the border will suffer. Tariffs are a US consumer tax. The country getting tariffed doesn't pay the 25% lol

Been buying almost exclusively Canadian for every product i can manage since 2016. Trump thought it would hurt Canadians, it just proved to us that the US is unreliable as a partner, so long as 50% of the US population considers us as beneath them rather than partners.

?? Canada stands with Mexico.... Boycott American products... Drink Tequila, Canadian Beer, French wine and Schnaps....❤️

How about 50% then? Or maybe we just boycott products from our so-called allies.

Canada will not survive long in my opinion. Their economy will tank. US should be able to replace most of canada import from their own production soon.

Would love an American assist here. If you are an American and can boycott the same products Canada will tariff there can be a multiplying factor and hopefully shorten this nonsense.

So glad I started boycotting us products. I’m saving 25% buying Canadian.

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.

We consume so many things from all these third class countries but they don’t have our products, too little too late

Thank you Donald Trump for galvanizing Canadians. Finally we will look to diversify our trading partners, support Canadian workers and products.

Funny thing is we consume more from them. Than do from us. The usa will destroy the working people of those countries. We also use yo produce our own products. We dint need ford or chevy in Canada. And Mexico doesn't need to make our parts. We're the consumer. They are the producers. Well we can produce like we used to in the 50s/80s before our jobs got shipped off

The best thing you can do if you're not an American citizen or even if you are an American citizen not to buy any American products. This would include subscriptions to places like YouTube and Facebook American software food items cars etc.

Trump has been saying over and over,,,EU takes USA TECH for peanuts and make products to sell back to USA at the Highest Profit!!!,,,If youre american can you see the rip off!!! ;))

The plan is to urge US manufacturers to move production back into the US.
