Canada has HUGE amounts of oil, lumber, rare minerals, potash (fertilizer)...WE WILL SELL THEM TO COUNTRIES WHO VALUE CANADA AS A GOOD AND LOYAL TRADING PARTNER.

I stand with Canada

We Canadians are suckers if we're giving billions more to Ukraine. Trudeau needs to go now. As for the tariff, I think we need to strike back hard, and continue the boycott of US goods. If we could, would be great do cut off all energy going to the States, but thanks to Trudeau, we don't have cross country pipelines to do that. BTW, Canada is not responsible for what comes into your country, we're responsible to keep things out we don't want in. That's the way these things are supposed to work, we're not East Berlin.

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

Go Canada, we're with you!!!

Some american people stand with you. The rest of those people are MAGA. Now we ALL pay. Canada please remember we are NOT all MAGA and support you. As far as I am concerned you need not explain it again. Those that listen have heard you. WE heard Kamala and Tim. The rest have their heads so far up their arse they can't hear!

Lmao ??? you people are nuts... Canada has higher tariffs on US goods.

The Western Canadian people stand with Trump! We are ready for a referendum and we are ready to make Canada an Autonomous 51st state of the USA! To Republic ????? God Bless!

Why oh why don't the American's see what ever Canada, Mexico or Europe does will make no difference. Trump and his henchmen want's to destroy western alliances.

Canada ?? ?????

shut off the gas. \nshut off the electricity.\nkick out any american military forces from canada. \nclose the border.

Canada should put a 1000% tariff on Tesla!!!

Arizona here. Standing strong with Canada.

Can i please come live in Canada. I am embarrassed to be american after how he treated zelensky and kissing putins butt. I will move in a heart beat.

Canada should join the EU.

As an American I am sorry Canada. I did not want this ?

He is great leader ?\nI stand with Canada ?? \nStay strong ? with love from Czech

Stop begging Canada

As an American I stand with Canada.

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

The Prime Minister of Canada of Justin Trudeau Trudeau is a true leader that Trump should pattern INSTEAD of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. \nAs an American in the USA, I stand by Canada and Mexico and will support you both $$$ and travel to your beloved countries!!!

From Europe: Bravo Canada, great leader !

Canada has nothing we need. Mexico can keep their avocados. They both need the US more than we could ever need them.???

Anyone becoming the 51st state it won't be Canada, but a province or two like Alberta. ?

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

It all leads to the US acquiring Canada

Is this a video about Canada or Australia?

Only bad words, Canada is a Beautiful ❤?

Canada’s money laundering is going GREAT!

Canada & Australia both sound very similar.

1. Canada is much more dependent on natural resource extraction than the US\n2. Canada's population is growing twice as fast as the US

Canada, more than poor economically, a socially sterile country. No sense of belonging, love, community, fun or pride. Traditional families are a rarity. Everyone wants to be alone so no wonder there's no housing. We gradually lost everything that brought us together to allow total sterility to rule everywhere..

Canada is like california, NIMBYs everywhere.

Because the USD is the world reserve currency, money flows into the US. And this unparalleled slush fund is then used to fund venture capital which, then, leads to more innovation in a virtuous circle. The Cdn$ is not a reserve currency, however. Uninformed or wilfully ignorant US politicians point to the US deficit as some kind of problem when, in reality, it represents how the US exports its problems onto the rest of the world that uses the US dollar as an exchange mechanism. If the US dollar loses its exchange value for other countries then the US will be faced with the same issues as other western countries--such as Canada. This isn't to exonerate the failures of both Liberal and Conservative Canadian governments over the past 20 years. More to say that productivity is lower in Canada than the US because Canada's currency isn't the international mechanism of exchange . . .

If Canada uses it's wisdom to choose a leader with an aptitude for economics, and behaves with the collectivistic humility we are known for, perhaps we will weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side. When making decisions from fear or anger, Canadians become individualistic and do our entire nation a major disservice by destroying any chance of using this crisis to propel our way out of the pit we are currently in. We need to avoid pointing fingers because for decades cowardly and self-serving decision-making have led us here. Never forget that the new immigrant delivering your food isn't your enemy - the con artist/felon trying to steal our resources and autonomy is.

Canadas “check engine” light has been on for awhile now.\nThe status quo clearly isn’t working.

We dont want a state that bends its knees to kings and queens. Canada hasn’t earned the honor

Bhoo, Bhoo. Canada cares two hoots whether Indians come there or not. It is their country, and they will do what is best for their country and definitely not for Indians.

Canada is mental

I’ve known about this (Indians among them ) illegally heading to the USA from Canada for years. How can this surprise anyone?

Make and hold Canada Responsable for the Illegals / Aliens crossing the border as where are they getting their passports from. Common now.

Don’t get me started about Canada healthcare. It is worse than a third world country. I lived in this country for over 25 years and I wish I could say something good about our healthcare system.

Canada wants rid of them too.

Despite all the Fox new propaganda. America is still net exporter of Drugs, Guns and illegal migrants to Canada.

Bermula dengan pekerja asing...India..sekarang terpaksa dikeluarkan negara besar CANADA...JADI KITA??????

Now I know why Trump was talking about making Canada becoming one more USA state.....they cannot even defend their borders for real.....

Bullshit, I only heard illegals are rushing into Canada from the US.

The skilled professionals are chemists that make drugs in collusion with the Mexican cartels. Big problem here in Canada. Our present government is responsible.

Our weak foreign policy over the last ten years and the incompetence of the ministry of external affairs is amply exhibited.\n\nU S, now Canada , probably european countries and finally Australia might follow suit \nBack home in India the Modi government has completely ignored unemployment problems and is more busy tippling non BJP goverments and making the country a Hindu Rashtra . The question however remains what will the Hindus survive if there are no jobs , high inflation, poverty and now the influx of immigrants from abroad,, adding to all these.\nProbably that is why the BJP says हिन्दू खतरे में हैं।

Its about time. Too many dam Indians in Canada. Especially in the city of Brampton. Its like youre in fucking India. Wtf..
