This is the Copilot AI answer to this matter- The 25% tariff imposed by Canada on U.S. goods could lead to significant job losses in the U.S. economy. While exact estimates vary, some analyses suggest that the U.S. could lose up to 1.6 million jobs due to the combined effects of higher prices, reduced exports, and supply chain disruptions... This would be a substantial impact, affecting various industries, particularly those heavily integrated with Canadian markets, such as automotive, agriculture, and energy.

It's amazing that most Canadians have no clue that Canada has had tariffs of 300% on most US goods for ages. Adding 25% isn't going to do anything. This is a clear overreaction by Canada. So it's now 325% compared to 300%? Whut? Trump will now raise it to 50%. Look, if Trump raises tariffs to be equal to that of Canada, it's game over for Canada.

Canada and Mexico became bad trade partner to US, \nCanada and Mexico became slave to Chinese masters, dumping Chinese goods to US through Canada and Mexico\n\nIn addition, Canada and Mexico are infested by Left Liberal politicians...good luck to them..but US and Trump has do to what is needed best for US interest...US people are fully behind Trump

Probably not a good move for Canada to play games with Trump, their economy is in excess supply and the US is the largest consumer market, they will fare much worse. Ditto for Mexico, their economy being 1/25 the size of ours. Fixing the border is a win-win.

Canada to retaliate with tariffs on US Goods.\nLet us know how that goes Canada! LMAO

Good that Canada is standing up to this treatment.

Llet's remember that the US GDP is 30.34 trillion dollars. Canada is only 2.33 trillion. Just one of the fifty States, California, has a GDP of over 4 trillion, almost twice as much as Canada. The total amount imported from Canada to the US per year is about 450 billion US dollars of goods. The US has the advantage by far in staying power here. Plus, Canada's leadership is on uncertain grounds, and Trump has a unified constituancy. He won all the swing States after all. I for one hope it all works out, but it's going to be Canada that will throw in the towel.

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.

? good luck Canada

25% tariffs against billions of dollars worth of goods was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today. Billions Dementia Donald. For the simpletons, that means most everything you buy from Canada will be 25% more expensive, even toilet paper.

Won’t be good on the US to get 25% tariffs from Canada, 25% from Mexico, and 10% from China. Each country got 25% or 10%. But the US all together will get 60% tariffs.\nthe tariffed products are different and come from different countries. However, the tariffs enter the US economy together.

I have 2 brothers that live in the US and they both enjoy living there. Yes, the medical is expensive and not as good as Canada's medical plan. But it's also true that you could get in fast all in the US. Hospitals pill to getting in to Canadian hospitals for appointments. For\n Myself, I love, the US has lot of nice cultures. And I Love all the theme parks that you guys have down there like Disneyland and hollywood theme park as well and even Hawaii.

Yup hears a new flash last month 4000 millionaires left Canada for good they are closing biz place up for sale jobless grown when millionaires leave not only do they take there money they also take jobs lawyers doctors accounts were being chocked to death in taxes by irresponsible government in order to pad the number during november and Dec Gover says we created 65 ooo job when the private sector only add approximately 25 000 jobs the rest were government jobs during a recession the Gover should not be hiring more than the private sector bankruptcy are at all time hi and government wants ,6 percent more in property taxes biz are golfing at a huge rate no wonder why people are leaving you can't make any money period your being squeezed so hard that a two hundred dollar cheque from Ford does not even pay for a tank off gas carbon tax of 61 cents a litre is really out there news flash there is no shortage of gas or oil a barrel of oil is 71 dollars so why are we paying almost 8 dollars a gallon but the Gover sells a barrel to the USA for 35 bucks half the world price this is why many are leaving period over bloated government

Come to the US, where you will pay as much taxes as you pay in Canada. But you will have no healthcare, you will have good exposure to hurricanes, earthquakes, heatwaves, tornado, opioids, no public transportation, and so many other options to chose from. Bonus is that you will be contributing to the myriad of wars around the war.

Good news for Canada

I hope Mexico shuts its borders to American truckers and goods also don’t give in to the orange bully who is mentally unstable standing together with china and Canada you don’t give in. Yes your countries will suffer but America will suffer the most because they will have to pay big time. And they are not use to being stood up to

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

Well Canada isn’t a Muslim country so it makes sense for you to move to a Muslim country. Good luck.

Haan toh hoga hi hate har koi chutiya india se canada jaa raha hai ,only good quality indian should be allowed not fucking illetrate

That’s why, I left Canada in 2018. No disrespect to Indians, but if want to live among Indians, I would rather go straight to India and enjoy good weather, rather than going to cold Canada.

Canada dominated by Indians and Uk dominated by Pakistan? Those ppl destroyed all good countries? Who cares human rights? They support criminals? What they done to European countries is unforgivable? Human rights won’t pay for those illegal immigrants, taxpayers pay ? So,, better deport all illegal immigrants?

My goodness....\nThats alot of F-u-c-king illegally immigrants in America. How the heck did they enter into America in the first place. \nIm an American citizen and i cant even cross the borders of canada and united states in peace lol ?

Is Canada a good country to immigrate?

Islam is getting out of hand in Canada. Good luck, and thank you for leaving.

No need to make up a story about how cold it gets in Canada. It's nowhere near what you think and indicated like as if you were trying to chase people away from there. Get it right, don't just make up whatever you're trying to do to chase people away and then you pump up the good ol USA. Your narrator is exaggerating along with his wavering voice up and down on who's best.

Good move Canada support from Saudi Arabia \n??❤️??

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

Not true, in Canada wait times are not longer than in america, but free and with more consideration served. Canadian doctors are so far superior with knowledge!!! Also american death care does not have good quality, I have just written why in another comment. I payed fortune and was misdiagnosed in contradictions. It is the biggest lie to say american death care can be called even bad. It is terrible. Used to brilliant Soviet Russian doctors, I saw the nightmare!

This is a good step in the right direction. Cut down public sector spending. Since the targets for foreign students are much lower, and the anticipated immigration # should be lower in the next few years, we don't need as many immigration workers. I do hope Immigration Canada would prioritize applicants with higher education, skills that Canada need, etc.

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Good for Columbia! Texas did it, dumped immigrants to sanctuary states, so, again good for Columbia. Good for Canada, Greenland, Japan, and a whole lot more standing against Bully Trump. Its so embarassing for our country!

BRICS countries with Canada, Mexico,and the EU should just boycott US Goods & Services and trade with each other! 80% of the US Economy is a SERVICE Economy that creates NOTHING!

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

Well....Canada ...Mexico and Columbia maybe could do business together and get rid of US...sounds good to me..?

Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Denmark (and its EU partners), China and many others... the only acceptable trading partners are Russia and North Korea in Trump's mind? Good luck America.

Hey President Trump what abouth grocery , price of eggs etc, Now this ... US goods and services trade with Colombia totaled an estimated $53.5 billion X by the tarrif you will impose. Can you calculate the cost the American normal poeple will pay? Plus Canada plus Mexico ?

Sovereign notions make sovereign decisions. Good for Columbia. They can join Mexico, Canada, Denmark, EU, Panama, Australia as allies. Bye bye America. We don’t need you. Such stupidity. Enjoy your isolationist poverty. Your choice.

Europe should join South America and Canada and give the orange clown an ultimatum; stop his nonsense threatening or get a 50% tariff on all American goods.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

Canada will gladly buy Colombian goods such as coffee! Let's do business directly between us and leave the USA out... It's time to stop the nonsense of letting the USA do money on us!

Good , canada should deport all the illegals also . And freeze all money to any other country also . Stop bleeding canadians tax dollars , make them all pay it back ...

Good, stop making it sound sad cause canada does NOT want indians in Canada u guys are dropping out living standards to dirty streets to getting people sick by working in fast foods to even taking jobs from future kids

i left canada mid of 2024 to dubai and i can say that dubai is safe and good. im my school I saw a lot of canadians

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

Yea we aren't perfect in Canada, but damn it's such a good place to live compared to southern Canada / Northern Mexico

Good work Liberals, ruined Canada beyond repair.

Thats good news. Canada are for Canadians not for immigrants.

This is India Govt problem. Modi president made His 2 friends rich Ambani and Adani, those peiniaed to sace his position ti be a Prine minister suckinh poor people blood like note bandit and snatching middle class people jobs pkus winning election distributing funds among poor people those are poor due to Modi Govt. India need Prine minister like Rahul Gandhi who did loss of work walk around all states to awaken people those were sleeping. Due to big Population and corruption of Govt no one can get ahrad except Gujaratis and Dourh Indian plus Panjabis due to their support system.\n\nNew election.\nPopulation control \nAwaking people \nUnity among all religions.\nNo Hindu or Muslims and thise fights due to political pressures they should be jails for 5 yrs prison.\n\nModi ji is uneducated plus his history in 2002 everyone knows. Gujarstis are very powerful in USA since arrivrd 40 plus yrs back tgen brought illegals to hrlp them build their life. In the Patel community, there is unity just like the Pakistani community. Die to that thry can achieve any goal. Other states induans should learn lessons.\nPlus, the USA Govt should have a quota according to India population. Since USA Govt focus is Africa and Afghan and so on, tgere sgoukd be quota according to States how much they can take in under Asylums since there are many murders and crime in India and USA plus Canada can help them. India Govt should build good relationships with USA Govtvwhich is a must.

The reality is that in India?? you don't get well paid jobs if you are poor performer in terms of education , here the good salary is for those who either crack some good entrance exam for IITs,NITs,IIMs etc or to those who have some guts to secure a government jobs ..and believe me the living standards and the respect you get after earning 50k to 1lakh per month in India is far better than cleaning toilets??, carpenter?, Driver?,and other low grade unskilled jobs in Canada as an Indian

Good. Don't care. Canadians are not getting hired on jobs and are living on the streets.\nMy government gave millions of grants and loans to foreign students, so schools could stay afloat. It's the biggest scam in Canada history. You can thank Trudeau for lying to these international students.\nCanadians don't have jobs, and we are educated... but a foreign student will be fine after school in my country. Bloody shady Trudeau. Jail him!!!! For life!!!! Lies, lies, lies. Too bad for the students. But the schools made money. Get lost... Trudeau you scammer
