Trumph is one stupidest president ever elected. Making America great again was a false message. Trumph is always a failure in all his business. Now he lie to all his Americans. Trumph even to the extend that he ask Canadian to be Americans. An idiotic President talking with out sense. Americans impeached yr President immediately. Save America.

Canada, hitting the USA with Tariffs won’t stop businesses from coming to the USA ??

What did the people of America Expect? Your working with a failed business man attempting to run a country ... again.

@cnn.read these comments. You are responsible for a lot of the mindless drivel. This is why you will go out of business, only the most radical follow you.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

Canada is already heading into an economic crisis, and what Trudeau just did might be the final nail in the coffin. This is his last big mistake — and he’ll soon blame Trump’s policies to cover up his own failures.\n\nLet’s be clear: Trump’s tariff policies aren’t some random attack — they’re based on a simple reality: The U.S. doesn’t need Canada. Here’s why:\n\nEconomy Size Comparison:\n\nU.S. GDP (2024): Over $28 trillion\nCanada GDP (2024): Around $2.3 trillion\nThe U.S. economy is more than 12 times larger than Canada’s — the leverage is completely one-sided.\nTrade Imbalance:\n\n75% of Canadian exports go straight to the U.S. — Canada’s economy depends on the American market to survive.\nMeanwhile, only around 12-15% of U.S. exports go to Canada. The U.S. can replace Canadian goods easily through Mexico, Europe, or Asia, but Canada has no backup plan for losing U.S. access.\nPopulation and Consumer Base:\n\nU.S. population: Over 330 million\nCanada: Around 40 million\nThe U.S. is 8 times the market size, meaning American businesses would always prioritize the U.S. market over Canada.\nNatural Resources & Energy:\n\nCanada’s oil, gas, and timber exports rely heavily on U.S. buyers.\nThe U.S. is already the world’s top producer of oil and gas thanks to its shale industry — it can easily survive without Canadian energy.\nCanada, on the other hand, would struggle to find new customers fast enough to avoid collapse.\n\nDefense & Global Influence:\nThe U.S. holds dozens of trade agreements with major powers like the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.\nCanada’s economy relies heavily on U.S. investment, which could be cut off or redirected if necessary.\nBottom line: Trudeau is dragging Canada into a crisis of his own making. He’s gambling with his country’s economic future, knowing full well that in any economic war with the U.S., Canada loses — fast. When the fallout hits, Trudeau will shift the blame to Trump, but the facts are clear: Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada.

Happy you said what it is. Trump in bed with Putin for personal business.

Canada and America should work together. Trudeau is the only one talking about a trade war. Think about that... Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries who later came to the Whitehouse and invested billions to bring business here. Canada has enjoyed the American gravy train for long enough. Just look at the comparison between how much money goes into Canada and how much of that America actually sees a return on.

Trump is practicing the business of the fist. He tries to hide his incompetence throwing the guiltiness on allies. You really have to ask yourself if this idiot works for the interest of America or against.

Governor you were already charging American businesses to sell their products in the 51st state. So when we want to do the same thing you are already doing you don't like it.

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

From just south of your southern border, we depend on Canadian visitors. Without you, this place will be a ghost town. Businesses will close. I and many others over here support Canada in whatever you need to do.

The maggots this is what you voted for. He ran every business he ever owned the ground bankrupt at casinos and you voted for this. Enjoy the ride you’re gonna pay Bigley.

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

I had to stop listening to this panty waste! We have been trying to understand for TEN YEARS, what the Liberal/NDP Coalition has been doing/saying. Why did it take a President from another country, to threaten tariffs for them to do their jobs? Sell Out Singh, is just as much to blame, as is Croatia Freeland, Mark “Carnage” Carney! Carney probably made a deal with DT for all of this!! I am not a fan of DT, not even close, and it pains me to agree with some of the things he’s saying. JT, says 1% of drugs come from here. That’s 1000% ? ?!! They don’t even check the ports. This dude at the border is a friend of JT’s, just like everyone in his cabinet! His old babysitter, his best man, at his wedding… IRS an absolute disgrace what’s happening here! I/we just want our country back, that’s it! We NEED an election and complete change of government! JT, the failed drama teacher, had zero business being a politician, let alone a PM!! He is the absolute disgrace of Canada! His legacy, is FAILURE. Hopefully these tariffs leave when Trudope/Carnage and Sell Out are gone from office! ??????????

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

Well, I am from America and I never heard of such a bunch of whiny babies in my life. If you got an app to get her Mr. Trudeau and got the border tightened up instead of lying about us you wouldn’t have 25% tariff against you in the business we do a Canada as much it is in the billions it’s chunk change to us so young with the program and get it together and take a nap order in for you Europeans. I wouldn’t criticize in America to quickly because we’re in America well that’s not how that conversation.

Respect and partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual ideas and business, when that respect is broken there is no partnership. I stand with Canada.

population 40 millions vs 350 millions who s hurt more. business with rassia over 150 millions is more worthy heheh just saying

Other leaders watching need to know you can't fake influence. Canada is standing on business.

Who will be paying tariffs? Trudeau? No. It’s us Canadian. For years this govt did nothing much to attract new business or grow economy.

Admiration for Trumb can't restored.. its vanished. The Democratic history of USA is no more under this regime. Trumb is a selfish business man and has friendship with Russia

Trump needs to align with Putin otherwise the Russian menace will flood America with ‘the tapes’ showing trump getting up to nefarious business with prostitutes and committing frauds. Trump is terrified.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs put it well regarding Trumps deficits with countries and so charging them tariffs…. “it’s like you maxed out your credit card all over town and then blamed the businesses who sold you those goods and services for selling them to you”!!

Seeing it clearly now, Trump is doing this to kneecap canadian businesses so american billionaires can come in and buy them which in a recession economy will be super easy

More and more countries will stop using the USD in international business, which in long term will be devastating for the US.

Canada is already owned by USA. All our major businesses are American owned. We even sold our Fighters Jets, oil, lumber and natural resources for pennies. The Canadian people need tax cuts. The native Canadians live without clean water in Reserves all across northern Canada in third world conditioms. All the goverment projects go to mafia groups who run the construction industry and tied to federal governments. Who is the bad guy? I dont know...but we the peasants pay for it while they steal and shift it to us.

All of us Americans need to stick together and not drink the bs he's selling. Let our business man do business we will be alright.

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

That's business. This is not sleepy job to take advantage ?.

He is back to continue his unfinished business during his first term??. We love Americans but…..

Yea Canada! Stand on business!

FAFO !! AMERICA MEANS BUSINESS!! Go hungry and pay for your own defense!!!

Make that Make Sense! Standing with our ally. Canada is Standing on Business!

Give it up Canada as Trump is the champ of business.

With everything happening in crypto, Trump’s reckless trade war only worsened global instability.\n\nHis leadership relied more on branding, risk-taking, and debt management than genuine financial success. \nHe faced massive losses, multiple bankruptcies, and leveraged tax loopholes. \nRather than a self-made mogul, his wealth was propped up by debt, branding, and media influence.\n\nIn the early 1990s, heavy debts led to several Trump business bankruptcies, including three Atlantic City casinos and the Plaza Hotel.\nBy 1995, he reported a $916 million tax loss, potentially allowing him to avoid federal income taxes for up to 18 years.\n\nSigh, standby for tough times. #hopium

On the 28th of February, 2025, America was the first country in the world, and on the 1st of March, 2025, it was widely known that EU helped Ukraine more, and that all countries can live without military equipment from the US, and that even poor weak Putin is not afraid of the US. Power is not a business nor a game.

Everyone on here is missing the fact that Canada is already charging 25% taiffs. Canada is not the good guy here. This all could end if Canada just drops their 25% tariff then we would be back to good business. Trump is exposing all the corruption around the world!

America needs to implement tariffs to force businesses to build factories in USA. Trump is right.

Then why did you let Mark Carney move his business

This usa pm Mr trunmp fucked up all the world's. Him and his business partner Alan mask need a mental dr asp ?

We, in Europe, are ready to receive Canadian products and expand business even further.

This is really gonna kill a lot of small online businesses that do commerce with the United States. We have a small stationary company that is just gonna die.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, raised U.S. import duties significantly to protect domestic farmers and businesses. Sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis Hawley, the act increased tariffs on over 20,000 goods by an average of 40% to 60%\n\nAlthough intended to shield American industries during the Great Depression, the act backfired. It led to retaliatory tariffs from over 25 countries, a collapse in global trade, and exacerbated the economic downturn. U.S. exports and imports fell by two-thirds between 1929 and 1932.  Economists widely regard it as one of the most disastrous economic policies in U.S. history.

Canadian government has made Canadians paralyzed for decades with high tax rates, made worst business decisions emptied citizens pockets to fill outsiders and their own. Instead of making Canadians rich you have made us poor. I don't disagree to standup for yourself but our foundation is the weakest. If you want to change something think of Canadians make things easier...STOP making admissions hard for professionals pay more wages where its needed and stop increasing minimum wages without improving the lifestyle of people. A 16 yr old making minimum wage and don't even know what to do with the money improve the quality of life. Make businesses boom by helping them with easier access to grants and business approvals. Help investors to grow and help middle class to become investors, make import export much easier. Better laws to protect investors...help those who are growing the economy not dinging them with more and more taxes. This tariff war is going to hurt us more than anyone else. Us poor Candians will have to pay for this hurt our children and our seniors. And that's exactly what Trump and Elon want. To the next Canadian PM - HELP CANADIANS! LET LIVE AND LET GROW...

This isn’t “just business”. America has to remain steadfast to our commitments. We can’t be fair weather friends.

SHUT off any energy going to America, do not do business with a criminal conman. NEVER. BOYCOTT America and buy only Canadian goods, nothing American. Boycott Costco.

?‍♂️ Canada wasn’t buying our shit anyways. They put Canadian business first, which is good. \n\nNow we’re gonna give that a try.

presumably the earnings from the Canadian import taxes can be given directly to the business that export to the US to offset their 25% :D

I'm with Mr. Trudeau on this one. Anybody with at least two brain cells...do you disagree? What the hell is wrong with people that would believe in this scum. How do you know if dump and muskrat really have your back? It sucks to be you. This is almost unbelievable. Pops, sorry, you go for this puke, I'm out and you have nothing to offer me. I don't need anything from you or your business or anything you wanted me to have that has blood money all over it. I'm a child of God's before your sperm donation. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAD. Congratulations on paying more for stock thanks to these idiots. If you are not for me, you ARE against me. I call bullshit on every single MAN on earth, including ME!
