Mexico is so great all their people want to go to the US, what is that all about, and Canadian people are getting fed up with the left as have Americans

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.

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

So we are getting into a trade war because America wants Canada/Mexico to fix their immigration system, and thats too much of an ask?

The tariffs will make it cheaper to make cars in the usa and the automotive industry will move back to Detroit. That is what trump is after. He wants to get american jobs back that were taken by our friendly neighbors.

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.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Looks like all of them just agreed to get some extra money from us, regular folks... Just another tax on citizens. Nice new game they want us to play and divert our attention from the real problems.

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.

EU says will retaliate Trump's Tariffs,,,EU forget you dont get any Gift money anymore from USA,,,Trump wants fair trade!!! ;))

Get all of them out ESPECIALLY SOMALIA....that's where ILHAN is from. We do not want to take any chance of having another in Congress!!

Right now Canadaian borders are wide open, no one is actually running the country, same ppl who ruined the country are trying to get elected again without even an inch of remorse, it has become a breeding ground for terrorist supporting groups, foreign interference, everyone can do what evr they want without having to face consequences, smuggling hundreds of kilos of drugs easily across the borders...Canada is now a land that is imploding and a prime example of how to run a country to ruins in 9 yrs...

Why do these people think we have a open door to our country ?? This is ridiculous. And I dont want to hear from your liberal fucktards about “ everyone in America is an immigrant”. No , I’m not. I was born here. I didn’t come from somewhere else, neither did millions of others. You want to come that’s great, do the paperwork , get legal and pay the taxes. It’s really that simple.

What’s wrong with them, can’t they be aggressive with their own government. They would probably get a better outcome than what they’re doing now. \nWhy can’t they stand up and do this to their on country instead of over populating our country. They need to fix their on country. We are tired of being second in our on country. We have people right now especially our Veterans that are on the streets as I am typing this that desperately need help. So I am sorry if I don’t feel anything for you guys. You all want your cake and eat it to. You people want a free ride and that train has left already.

Stop these people from getting into america! We dont want you in our country! Stay in your country! You people trying to come into our country and turn it into what you left is not happening!

I c people saying why don’t they do this in their country!!!!! Because in their country, they’re not getting free housing free food, free ride to wherever they want to go!!!!! This is why Biden and Harris in the Democrat party did!!!! Now any ice to do a mass deportation and I need to start at every construction site in America and they will go 80% of them right there period

Whole world laughing at the great USA. Get people in your military who clears your training regiment regardless of how they want to be identified. So stupid.

This is exactly why Trump wants to get rid of income tax. Why should tax payer funds go towards feeding and housing illegal immigrants? We have enough of our own problems here.

If this ungodly way keeps happening, we,ll have no choice but to use force , if that's the way they want it , that's the way it will be..\n Hate it's came this far , but if that's the only way ,then getem, get them all out... They knew they were breaking the law when this first started , blame the biden administration for it and just get out and sue the right people for it... Don't take it soldiers ,workers, or anyone who is trying to help...

You have a lot of people can fight your government if you want free and be rich．American fought to great Britain to get freedom and rich . And you people just want to enjoy their free . It is \nShameful. Go back to your country and fight to your government to earn the freedom and wealth.

Trump is targeted all illegal immigrants it makes no difficulty on Africa Jamaica if you illegal you got the go I am black but I'm America black if I was illegal I would be hit to go to but I got a Social Security number I worked in United States on my line and I'm born here in legal I want people can't seem to get that you can't come here illegally from another country looking for a better life but you going to do it illegally you're going to look for a better life illegally How can you look for a better life illegally

If willing to get violent that’s a good sign that we definitely don’t want them here.

They can cry and whine all they want trying to get forgiveness from us. No pity no forgiveness, we voted for this change thank God for the president of strength.

Get our military ?️ facts unless you come through the front door we don't want you here

Obviously all these people from Bobo suelo did not know about the news about not coming to America can you imagine the way they're still coming how overly swamped we would have been when you offer free with everything free house free car free health free medical you're going to get a lot of blood suckers coming to our country because they want all that free stuff I don't want to pay for it anymore go back to your own country unbelievable that they have that kind of energy when they need to put that energy in their own countries

Other countries leaders get voted in by their own people or by hook or crook unfortunately. All the sudden they want to flee to the USA ???

Emily, why are you mad? Why would you want to serve this country? Y'all getting banned is a Victory for the Trans Community. You no longer have to fight for a country where the majority of the population hates you

canadian military will take transgender military members. Our military pays for the surgery, gives free counselors. There are a lot of conservatives in the canadian military, including my husband, and he works with a lot of transgender people and no one cares. IF someone wants to transition no one cares, if someone wants to be they/them no one cares. They lives their lives and get the job done. Literally the worst thing that could happen if a person was cut off from hormones was they'd probaby act like PMS. PMS just means not taking peoples shit.

Cut the bridge no one should be able to pass either way until this stops. Every country needs to work on their own homes right now not inundate their neighbors just trying to stay afloat. It is not our problem that they keep having kids and overpopulated their areas having no jobs or allowing crime to get so bad they don't want to stay. Overrun your government and demand change in your house.

This shows you just how heartless and cold blooded the Democrats are,, they started this shit,, they didn’t care one bit about these people,, all they wanted was their vote,, doesn’t it bother anybody that sanctuary cities are only in states that have no voter ID laws,, so to the Democrats,, they get these people across the border they can vote in these states,, and you people wanted to keep them in power

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

My wife came to America from Russia over 20 years ago.. It took her 3 1/2 years to get approval to come to America legally… she’s now an American citizen.. it’s people like her that are livid over this mess. I’m sick of these bleeding heart liberals acting like we’re supposed to let everybody in because they want a better life…. Fix your own country. Don’t be a drain on us.

You could tell these all a bunch of cutthroat people who don’t want to stay in their own country cause none of them get along with each other to help build things back up such a shame?

They wanted to be arrested to get a free ride home. GITMO, mofos.

Fix their own countries lol that's not even a blip in their thought process, why would they want to fix something that they already ruined when they can just come ruin ours and get paid to do it. when you can make terrible places even worse imagine what they can do to our country in an extremely short amount of time

My dude you just said that health care is never discussed in american politics. \n\nAlso, all these people saying that health care in Canada takes years and years for things that take weeks in the US are typically full of it. Yeah. Some provinces that shall remain nameless like to break contracts with health care professionals, resulting in shortages of certain types of workers. \n\nI live in remote northish parts of my province (not NWT, Yukon, or Nunavut), and 6 years ago I was diagnosed w/ lymphoma. They had me set up to do chemotherapy treatment within 2 weeks. They wanted me to start that weekend, but I needed the time to put my work in order for me to be gone for an extended period, get applications set up for EI/Healthcare claims, and figure out who in my family I wanted to share the information with. \n\nIn Canada you end up waiting for elective surgeries and treatments, because they aren't critical by virtue of being elective. That's about it. If you need an elective and have 10K in your pocket not doing anything, go ahead and go to the states.

It is sooooo weird those creatures would want to openetrate an other country....why\nWhat do they want?\nWhat do they think they will get....besides even more misery\nSo delusional

Hey CNN let me me tell you something that's not so secret that you assholes refused to accept no one wants to see a man in a ring beating the hell out of a woman no one wants open borders what don't you assholes get about it you were going to file chapter 11 defending things that make no sense at all to the majority of Americans

AM GONNA MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR DEMS TO UNDERSTAND. LGBTQ PEOPLE ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 1 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HOW CAN THAT 1 PERCENT GET YOU A WIN IN AN ELECTION. PEOPLE DONT WANT THIS SHIT IN THEIR LIVES AND DONT WANT THEIR KIDS LEARNING THIS IT WILL NEVER WORK. JUST PUTTING THIS ON YOUR SHOW YOU HAVE LOST MORE OF THE 99PERCENT OF THE POPULATION OF VIEWERS. THE DEMS HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED AND NOW HAVE PEOPLE RUNNING YOUR SHOW THAT SUPPORT THIS CRAP. YOUS WONT WIN ANOTHER ELECTION FOR A HUNDRED YEARS TILL YOUS GET RID OF THIS CRAP.

While I don’t agree with anyone entering the US illegally, those that are saying “fix your own country” is easier said than done, my response to that is “why don’t you fix the things you hate or complain about throughout your life”? Don’t worry I’ll wait ?\n\nA lot of these people are broke, have little to no education (partly because they were broke), and can barely make money to feed themselves. None of us get to write a wishlist as to where we are born or who our parents are. This is just part of an unfortunate circumstance. \n\nNow if you’re a criminal and want to commit crimes in the US, you don’t deserve anything in life.

I wish the Dems would realize that illegal entry cannot stand. Trump needs to make a decree that makes it impossible to get anything from any level of government. That would stop the flow immediately. Most of these aren't people working toward a goal, they just want to escape their impoverished country. Stay in your own countries, stop voting in Socialists, and make your governments responsive to the common good. You can have what America represents to you with some work.

Alberta has provincially funded Islam schools and over half the restraunts sell halal. She just put in halal mortgage and is working with the communities to put together a plan for giving you your holidays paid off from work.\n\nSmith wants to talk to you and find out what she has to do to get you to live in Alberta.

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

Is DW the new CNN ? Illegal means just that .. if you entered this country illegally you committed a crime .. end of story . America wants its country back, it’s money back .. no more free hand outs while American citizens are homeless . If Europe wants them come get them .

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Trump wants to talk about every bull shit thing except getting the cost of living down???

Give a bunch of free stuff away and of course they want to charge the boarder to get in.

Main side point is once you’re in the active duty military, the Government pays all your medical expenses 100% through TRICARE. It is not the tax payers financial responsibility or the governments to continuously take on this private elected debt of one’s choosing. Trans have always found a way to get their gender changed in the private medical sector without adding to the already multi trillion dollar debt we are in. This is a logical and sound decision and it speaks the voice of over 70 million Americans who wanted it. No opinions on that. Facts. ?? stay straight
