THE WORST THING YRUDEAU DID TO CANADA. NOW WE ARE GOING TO SUFER EVEN MORE! TRUDEAU HAS TAXED YOU EVEN MORE. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TERAFFS WILL DO TO YOU THAT TRUDEAU HAS JUST DONE? NOW YOU WILL PAY EVEN MORE FOR EVERYTHING!

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.

Go Canada!

This American is rooting for Canada…don’t let this wannabe dictator bully you. Go Canada! Also y’all should completely boycott Tesla

Let's go CANADA we won't give in. We will fight back

Hahaha Canada is going to fold…their economy cannot stand the tariffs more than 6 to 8 days. The US can in house or import everything from other countries. Canada doesn’t have the luxury…the US protects the moment of their goods. \n\nBtw Germany…the US protects the moment of your goods as well…don’t test the US.

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?

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

Canada should implement a 10 to 15 percent export tariff on all of the goods going into the USA. Don’t put any tariffs coming into Canada , just let Canadians prosper

Go Canada ?

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

Was due to fly to Denver on Thursday for a short vacation. Immediately changed destination to Bermuda tonight. Canada is definitely more vulnerable but i think US is under appreciating how united Canadians can be when pushed. Well literally not buy a single thing from US from goods to vacations aslong as this goes on. If Canada is going down well drag the US down with it

Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. Canada lives rent free under the protection of the US. Canada wants to tariff the US go ahead. The US has vast amounts of timber, coal, oil, beer, cheese ,bacon and strip clubs. We're good Canada.

The peaceful president, now Marcos Rubio going to Panama to negotiate for the Canal of Panama, going after Greenland, war tariffs with Mexico, Canada and China.

What Trump said about Canada leaching on US economically and militarily is true..so why don't Canada rulers face it and fix the house from inside instead of, using the dispute as an election leverage ? How far their hypocrisy and opportunist minds can go ????

Canadian here. The tariffs will hurt. And this may just be the beginning of a sprawling trade war, but make no mistake, Canada is not for sale, and Canada, despite its soft spoken nature, is determined to keep going on its own way. We have free trade with the EU and Pacific nations. For any US companies who find themselves caught up in tariffs for their export markets, consider setting up your export shop here, to keep your Canadian customers, and continue to have access to European and Asian markets under free trade agreements that are respected, and operate independently of any decision made by President Trump. Businesses need predictability and stability, and your neighbors to the north can provide that to all of your export markets.

Trump will increase it to 50% then. Canada will go down faster than ever

Russia has proven it can live without America well over 1700 sanctions and still going! Canada can too!

Canada fails to stop illegal immigration? How TF does that even happen when Canada is hemmed in by USA? The Greenlanders/Icelandics going to US to look for jobs?!? *Insert confused Jackie Chan picture here*

Canada has a serious mental problem. Why don’t u just go to find more trade partners? Why do u only trade with the ??? Learn the words: Balance Leverage and alternative…

Canada is going anti-american,,,UNREAL!!!,,,can you believe??? ;))

Twelve days into the Trump Administration's second term and we are already at (tarrif) wars with Canada, China and Mexico. We have another 1,450 more days to go before this administration ends. God help us all ! ?

The regular people will suffer. Canada and Mexico will suffer more. The US economy is very big and dynamic. It will absorb tariffs. Trump's foreign policy is going to be very predatory. These trade wars have the potential to spill into other areas: Diplomatic and military in which Mexico and Canada cannot match the United States. The next four years are going to be turbulent.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

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.

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.

436 billion in exports to the US verses 150 billion to Canada. This is not going to hurt America but will crush Canada.

If you do the math and see who purchases what from who, this is heavily in favour of the US. Yes, both countries will hurt but it will hurt Canada a lot more - this is just going from national statistics for trade dependencies.

Canada. No More people from India. They are taking over Your Country. Haven’t The people Of Canada Realize this. Mass Deportation Now Canada. ?? ?? People Of India GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY you are All Educated Now

I wish the Indians in Canada would go home.

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.

These Indians have some nerve to protest in Canada, they should go to India and protest their government, they come to other countries and don't want to follow the country laws, they are very bold face .

Yeah the Mexican Cartels by pass the states go all the way to canada to smuggle baxkdiwn to the states. Anybody whos seen a map will call bull. Maybe thr fentynle is being smuggledfrom yhe states(and your open boardets) into Canada. Killing Canadians.

Millions of indians will be deported from USA and Canada and gulf countries too\nCause they go and not come back ??????

Ha I got one for you a company has 4 East Indian non related immigrant employees about 2 years now and suddenly they all leave to go back to India but as a vacation for 8 weeks. Sounds crazy they are truck drivers …. Wait is this another catch 22 and they know the flaws in the system and will be back on another work visa? Yup…oh Canada your screwed

Why don't they go to Canada? Celebrity are fleeing to Canada and Europe ?

You guys filed for schooling not living they are different applications. You finish school You ARE TO GO HOME NOT STAY simple as that. And what is this demanding things this is Canada not India

In response to the ugly dictator running the US of North America , many of us around the world had decided not to buy products made in the US , here in Canada word is going around to try NOT to buy US products . \nMy phone is Apple , but made in Mexico , once my phone is dead I will be happy to switch to Samsung

I am happy for Xi and Putin. ??? Stupidity sees no bounds in the United States under Trump. China will dominate the world for sure. Dare Trump to invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama to see how far he can go.

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.

When did the readership of cnn get so frikking stupid. The US is the biggest consumer country in the world. Tariffs will only hurt Americans, all of your costs will go up. You pay tariffs, we don’t. For Columbia, your coffee, tropical fruit like bananas, flowers are going up. For Canada, your gas prices, housing costs. Mexico, fruits and vegetables….basically your inflation is going to sky rocket.

Well countries going to hit agent orange right back each flight costing over 500k of tax payer money. 20 dollar eggs on its way, Mexico Canada making trade deals with China Americans will get screwed hard,thanks magats

Trump is just shoving MORE countries to belong to BRICS. Just like Cuba who can now tell the USA to kiss their ass with all those sanctions. In the end Trump and the USA will LOSE A TRADE WAR. Canada is ready to discontinue ALL oil sent to the USA making gas prices go HIGHER here. US consumers pay the tariffs.

Let's go CANADA❤ ??

Very low number of illegals going to Canada. Trump should dump all the illegals into Canada

You go Canada getting your act together

What you think is going to happen? All those who is illegal is going to be allowed into Canada why? no border controlled , Welcome to Canada.

Why would I want to go to Canada, from what I've heard Canada is in a very dire situation with everything. Their socialized medicine is not working, nothing is working in Canada. They might as well be part of the United States

Those living in US illegally are now self deporting themselves out of fear but they're not going south. They're heading north towards Canada. Work together with the Americans to tighten our borders or else prepare yourself for an invasion.

No, report must be wrong, Trump says it is they come from Canada to USA so what is really going on?
