We went to Toronto 2 years ago and it felt like heaven ! I had no idea that Canada was going through hard times (I don’t watch the news !) When I watched the first minutes of your video I was about to tell you « well, same here in France »… but I have to say that the pictures of people on drugs are shocking ! Maybe France isn’t that bad, not yet ?\nWe are experiencing hard times and unfortunately I’m not optimistic for the future. Luckily I live in the countryside and I try to have a simple way of life. I wish you luck in your new life !

Nikki Haley(Nimarata) and her Punjabi cousins should fight Hindus india in india not from the US & Canada! Go back be a man and fight for your rights for your homeland ! Jay Hind!!

SS officers Miller and Homan have started the Final Solution. The Fourth Reich is now an established fact in the USA. I think that Canada should close the border to all but commercial vehicles as it’s not safe to go to a fascist country and we don’t need MAGA maggots coming north. ??

Just to let you know, it's been -25-30 C. These people don't feel like standing outside for a few hours. You're not going to hear much on the news since they don't care about Black people in Canada.

The sad thing is in every country wether its Canada Usa UK/ ireland theres always that go back to ur own Country line just IGNORANCE

Getting a police course is not a guarantee that you are safe to get PR. Be educated! International students must do your research! Canada did not promise you anything, you have a document signed that after your study you will go back home. You are scammed by your consultants who are hungry of money!

The problem is throughout the Anglo World, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, we are allowing millions of immigrants from the third world, when in fact if AI is going to take 70/80pct of jobs in the future we do not need immigrants from the third world at all. The fewer people we have, the more wealthy we are. The other problem is allowing immigrants from non-compatible cultures of people who do not share our values, culture, religion, or way of life, they generally live in their own areas, speak their own language, and do not/cannot integrate into society, most consider themselves as Indian, not Canadian because like for instance in the UK where we have similar or worse problems, they can never be English, or Scottish, or Welsh or Northern Irish. We are not and never have been nations of ''communities'', we are Canadian, American British, and Australian, but we are all connected in our Judeo-Christian roots, values, culture, and way of life, the vast majority of these third-world immigrants can never be part of what we are. That causes resentment, even jealousy, and one day it will end badly

Madam PALKI SHARMA ,better for all…particularly Indian..rejection more or total for two years with others countries too. un employment’s targets here going up side. & futures of new generation.it’s good step from Canada & USA both…carry on strongly.

All these countries like Canada, US are relying on Indians, Chinese and other foreigners to run their tech economy. Indians are taking huge loans (like 40L) to sign up to their universities. Their locals are not signing up for it. They are incompetent. Foreign students are a major source for their universities. More than 95% are foreigners. If not for foreigners, then these programs will shut down. And then they poach these foreign students to work in their tech sector. Without Indians & other foreigners their tech economy will collapse. They know this. And they will also pretend that immigrants are the problem and $h1t on us. fkers. Fellow Indians, know that they are scamming you. Better to go for higher education within India. Get funding and do a startup in India. All these countries like US, Canada will crush your dreams. Go there only if you are mediocre. If you are talented, stay in India and work for a startup

I hope these people who have are going to be deported do Not come to Canada , because the fucking Canadian laws are so relax in this matter \nAnd Canada is beyond full and hopeless in all infrastructure areas .

Trudeau folded lol canada to spend $1.3 billion in increasing border security to prevent fentanyl from going to the US. This for 30 day pause on tarrif hahahaha

All illegal s go back home un documented. In Canada.

Canada should not respond with tariffs. That will just increase prices for Canadians. They should look for other markets.\nTrump promised to lower prices. This is a direct move to increase them! Trump and his millionaires won't be hurt by this. Only the millions of regular people that voted for him will suffer. This is a perfect example of how politicians go to war and the citizens pay with their blood. ?

This will hurt them more than it will hurt the U.S. because those countries rely on U.S. imports to help sustain their economy. \n\nHere’s a list of countries and percentages of imports between them from 2023: \n\nU.S. -> Mexico = 15.6%\nMX -> U.S. = 43.9%\nU.S. -> Canada = 14%\nCanada -> U.S. = 77%\nU.S. -> China = 7.5%\nChina-> U.S. = 16.5 % \n\nAnd some of those imports we get from other countries are just oil, which is no longer the case since now we are going to drill our own oil. Hmm ? It’s as if they’re almost saying “Please make Canada and Mexico the 51st and 52nd state of the U.S. We don’t know how to run a country nor we don’t like our constituents.” ??

I have lived in Canada for 70 yrs. We will not submit to a want a be dictator-. Hes putting the blame on us when its his fault from all his failed promises hes made before and now. Hes really going to hurt the American people with everything going up in price. Trump will be made to step down im sure do to his ridiculous actions.

American here. Way to go Mexico and Canada. Stand up to the bully.

Nonetheless you guys are still living in soon to be socialist country… your so called prime minster tooo BANK ACCOUNTS from farmers this does NOT make up for that I’m sorry, furthermore Canada has various TAX already on US Gas lumber at 150% more so now we are at 175% lol the CANADIAN and Mexican people are the ones who are gonna be affected THUS why he mentioned he is gonna try give his people extra money each month? Yes tariffs are MICRO not MACRO go ask your “ word class economists” about that

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

Spongedonaldtrumpants hasn't done anything to reduce the flow of illegal weapons going from america into Canada.

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

Canada’s current GDP: 2.14 trillion.\nUSA’s current GDP: 27.36 trillion. \n\nAs a Canadian, we’re going to barely make a dent in retaliatory measures and the US has about 6.4 trillion dollars in spending money to completely obliterate us. It’s not smart to retaliate…

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

Australian here... Go Canada, good to see some class in the world of politics... great media address from your PM.

We here in Canada don't care about the tough times that are coming, its not the first time we have been in tough times and we are not going to bend for the united states and Donald Trump, we're taking you Americans down with us

CANADA IS GOING TO LOSE...A...TRUMP FAFO???

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

The drug and immigration is an excuse - Trump is a crook. Let's go Canada! Charge the Americans more for Oil and Hydro and tarriff Tesla 100%

Go Canada! A la vi, a la va, a la vim vum vam! PS Cut off gas supply to the US.

Go go Canada and Mexico !

i keep hearing the argument that Americans are going to be the ones hurt, but then why are so many other governments like mexico and Canada getting so upset? man they must care a lot about the American lower class. or...... just another gas light left on by mistake

Trump doesn't accept calls from Canada ofc because this is not about border security nor the 1% fentanyl going into the US. It is about being hawkish and potentially annexation of Canada in the far future. \nThese tariffs make way more sense against Mexico, considering the amount of border issues and fentanyl infiltrating in the US, but tariffs against Canada is just BS.

go canada, go candada, germany supports you! \nF trump.

Well done Canada and Mexico ?fElon Trump is going to destroy his voter bass. Unreal

No, you guys are not going to get out of paying your bills, if you balk, we will foreclose on Canada and you'll all become American citizens and you'll all have to start paying your bills. Or, you can pay us cash, right now for your share of defending Ukraine... your days of freeloading and spounging are over.

Trump is going to put a 100% tariff on Canada, they have no idea who they are dealing with. But they will know very soon!

Europe should response and go for a new agreement with Canada.

Canada, go ahead, make our day!

Canadian dollar just dropped to the lowest for over a decade. Canada will go into recession for sure.

Canada is going to have there economy crushed.

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.

Canada is on a suicidal path at this moment. Just watch its economy going down the drain. Mexico will follow. I am against unilateral tarrif with Canada and Mexico but these twon nations seems hardheaded to the wrong path.

Hopefully people around the world respond by buying as little as possible from the US (especially from the billionaires and states that support Trump). Trump is going to try to divide and conquer, and if the US will attack Canada, no democracy is immune.

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

We in usa welcome the tariffs on canada. Go trump!!

Good for Canada to docking it to us like Trump did it go them. Actually Canada should have increased their tariffs to 50%.

Trump said he doesn’t need goods free m Canada, then why put tariffs on them? Go somewhere else

Canada is going to be a ? republic of 2025 ??

I don’t care. Let Canada come around. Let Mexico go. I don’t have any need for crp made in China or Mex and they can keep their bullsht drugs and cartels.

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Mexico and Canada imposing tariffs on the US is not going to hurt us like they think. We have more ships and planes and are able to move more goods faster to other countries who will buy. Not to mention the fact that Mexico and Canada were never fair to us in trading. In the end they will have hurt themselves way more then the US. Why do you think Trump has done this and most of us are not worried.
