This channel has played a huge role in making Canada look vulnerable in the eyes of the world and the fact that Us is coming after Canada. Looks like all the jobs and stuff he was too arrogant against immigrants and students wasn't even theirs but coming from US indirectly. Talk about putting a gun on someone's head that's not even yours and big daddy comes and gets you.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

They are grown ups playing make believe.

Thank you for your service. Many people commenting have not served or couldn't qualify anyways. She's done more badass things than most people and a lot o the hate is jealously while people playing video games or listen to Joe Rogan

Mexico need to suport way not was carefuly for border play to muchy

We have many NBA players that are not legal and are not all black either. After season they go back home. We have citizens in this country that can play Basketball also should be considered. Legals.

Let's see how things play out ??

CANADA you need to tell your government to secure your borders and stop playing games with America, you will lose in the end if not .. ?

Dress code and stop playing pretend

We'll just have to see how it plays out for the US. Because if Trump's plan does work for Americans in the long run then I guess he's a genius otherwise he'll look like a complete fool if he has to rollback Tariffs because his plan failed

What if Canada and Mexico decided to join the BRICS and forget about playing with Trump?

04:54 fake and inauthentic persona to elicit the answers he wanted to get on the video.\nSeems Indians are too naive to know they are being played.

It's a dangerous game they're playing with us poor people. You can only push so far until people freak out and start running amok

Why are they playing along with this baby talk act

Did anyone watch the Ottawa Senators play the Minnesota wild hockey game last night. 17,000 Canadians booing the American anthem.

Unlike other countries, Trump cannot play with Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Europe.

Canada and the US used to share a warm relationship. Living close to Canada, our girls hockey teams frequently play the Canadian girls. Over the past 5+ years, the behavior of the Canadian girls changed from competitive, but decent, to vicious, laced with insults and injury. We no longer want to play them because you can predict a concussion suffered every fifth game or so. Trump's unfriendly actions will be met with equally unfriendly actions from Canada to the detriment of both.

I'm an American canada, and Mexico had a chance to do something about the drugs and illegals pouring into our country they have refused so they wanna play let's play. 200 Americans die every day due to fentanyl.

Hahaha. Liberal PMs trying to play….\nLet’s see how long they last….

Canada and Mexico can now look forward to 50% tariffs. You're playing right into Trump's hand. You're going to be out of business sooner than later.

Its not racist to deport violent African gangs who are so desensitised to human suffering and sorry but they dont play well with others.

Playing the game of tit-for-tat will bankrupt Canada long before the US.

wahaha. ...all the clowns fighting each other...karma in play

Do not bend for the US! They point fingers to Russia and China, while doing the same! Trump is playing a childish game my kids also do: if I don't get to play with your lego, I will destroy it. Is this they way the US want to play? Let's have go!! I can do without stuff from the US.. And Trump calls himself a peace maker whahaha.

trump playing his trumpet...usa is losing it and its ahowing

I think that the UK, EU and Canada, if they play their cards right, can come out of this car crash presidency stronger and more independent from America. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

Good luck dont play a game you cant win you will learn the hard way??

Trump, if these irrelevants wanna play, make it 100%. We have everything they have to offer, we don’t need them.

F that. Canadians don’t need to retaliate. Mr Cheeto is a crooked old schoolyard bully and I for one don’t want to play his game. We need to do what’s best for Canadians - find other trading partners, develop manufacturing within our borders, etc. and above all be smart. \nSomeone will benefit from trade wars and it’s not going to be regular Americans or Canadians. This is just another way to squeeze the life out of regular citizens while the rich get richer.

We Brits are 100% behind Canada, we were always for free trade and imposing tariffs is nothing short of bullying by Trump. I will be boycotting US goods with immediate effect ... two can play that game !!!

lmao watch how this plays out my bet is canada and mexico folds its not a hard request by trump, stop illegal flow of illegal immigrants into the us from the canadian and mexican borders \nlets see got my popcorn here

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...

basically. They’re not doing his job for him. While he goes and plays golf ?

i dont agree with trump but if canada thinks they can play, then im game? screw tredeau. \n\nmexicos president is right tho? sorry mexico

I see some serious cope in comments. Mexico and Canada playing chicken with the US is how we get chicken nuggets.

50 % Mr Trump to tyrant Trudeau and open border send all Ilegals to Canada all Venezuela gangs Haiti Honduras They will go instead to their countries Canada is communist country They are playing with fire Europe has no money give free

Awe how cute of them ...fifty percent tarriff monday morning president Trump...show them your not playing with em ..military if needed

is Trudeau playing the 'my dad can beat up your dad', while stomping his foot? I love Canada, and Canadians are frankly, terrific. If this leader in all his years of bing PM has made one good decision, I'd say it is time to get yourself a new PM.

Canadian tariffs will remain in effect until every American learns to play a musical instrument

Typical Americans and Trump. Sign a free trade agreement and then when you feel like it just violate it for your own interest. They only play by their own rules. If Canada violated the agreement they would all over it. A while back they tried to nail Canada with 4 billion in softwood lumber tariffs in that they claimed Canada violated the free trade agreement, which they did not. The arbitrary trade council which oversees both countries ordered the USA to pay back Canada the 4 billion. The USA never did. Trump claims Canada treats them unfairly yet they are the ones who violate the agreements. They are the poor trading partner. Canada should trim the exports to the USA significantly and find alternatives. Just cut out the corrupt Americans led by a convicted criminal.

Maybe Canada should stop playing games as they have been for years and hit the 2 Percent of GDP for NATO, there pretty much STILL at the bottom of the list expecting the U.S to protect them!

Canada you’re playing a dangerous game with a super power !

Trump's lifelong love for tariffs is not economically driven but to wield power. In most power plays in the private sector he got away with it and was able to stiff subcontractors and business partners with less resources and less criminal energy than himself. I hope other countries won't budge and give from the start the right answer to this wannabe fascist power drunken criminal.

Let's be clear. Mexico and Canada are delusional Trump is going to destroy you. China better quit playing too. This country ain't weak and now that Trump is in office we aren't going to be bullied. It's time for everyone to snap out of the Barack Obama and Joe Biden spell and get back to reality. Trump is not playing. It's over.

Justine Castro is the fighter you're backing lol. Well all I can say is good luck with that. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Remember all you had to do is protect your border.

Canada & Mexico have facilitated the influx of drugs manly from China that have killed 100,000 Americans a year for the last 3 years! How did you think this was going to play out?

Looks like it's playing out exactly as planned.

Governor Tredau not playing ?
