Mexico and Canada won't survive trade wars with the US. They'll fold in a matter of months.

Canada already have taxes on imports from North America. Good luck Canada

USA government is starting a fight with canada you know why??? SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY TAKING IT BY MILITARY FORCE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ITS COMING

This American totally understands your need to protect your economy, Canada...and supports your decision. Hopefully one day, America will be forgiven for this madness--if it survives. ?

This will destroy Canada and Mexico

Mexico / Canada FYI Trump has no idea what he is doing. And the American people with suffer from it. MAGA stabbed themselves in the back and still haven't figured that out yet.

Bravo Canada! ❤

US tariff 25% for everything except 10% for energy. Canada only tariff about 150 B among 800 billion us import. Is this a huge retaliation.

American here. I support Canada and Mexico boycotting our products. Less demand means lower prices for us. It's a win win for both sides :)

Canada you can sell your products to China or any other nations…don’t depend on USA!

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

Trump just revitalized Trudeau… looks like PP, his guy in Canada just went into a nosedive in the polls… and the conservatives are seen now as the Canadian MAGA that just caused such a disaster in their nest… it’s been eye opening for the world….

American here, Trump need to make an example out of Canada. Lets take our future state my force ???

China.. canada and mexico can start an economic pact... and f trump back.. ?

Dump the F35 jet fighter, one just fell out of the sky in Alaska recently. Saab Gripen could be assembled in Canada per Sweden's bid.

Trudeau has already destroyed Canada so bad. Canada will be crushed in this tariffs war to such an extent that it will finally beg America to take it in as 51st state.

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

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

Canada putting tariffs on American goods hurts Canadians much more than Americans.

This Canadian PM is the one causing all these. He legalize drugs in Canada and loose Canadian borders in the past 9 years. Unfortunately Canadians have to suffer because his wrong policies. I had never vote liberals and will never vote liberals.

Tariffs look like taxes, now the governments will receive more money, both US and Canada. Easy way to boost government income.

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.

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 an authoritarian state.

Canada could have stopped the tariff war by cutting off power oil and gas instead. Counter tariffs just punish Canadian consumers

Canada is so screwed. USA holds all the cards in this one.

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.

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

A long time ago, most of the world pivoted towards trade with China. Canada and Mexico have been the last holdouts.

No American booze for Canada ?

Majority of people migrating to canada are from a single Indian state Punjab, but dont blame them to migrate when your government couldn't do math on how many people it need and invited foreigners desperately to come because its population is getting old without building houses/ without enough jobs.

Canada is not place to live...for my job I did visit and my company ask to live there for 5 years if I want... but I run back to spain....canada cold and high cost of living...dont know why indians like cold canada?

sean fraser, marc miller, justin trudeau should be in jail. They are criminals. Canada has been completely obliterated by these absolute IDIOTS

this is dangerously insane and frightening. The Americans need to caal in the military the way Piland has! We can't have this invasion of madness.\nWHERE IS THE MILITARY?? \nThis is terrifying! God please help the Americans keep these people out of the USA and therefore Canada God please help us!

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 ?

Hey folks … what Borders on stupidity ? ?… Canada and Mexico ????????

Together let’s do something about it instead of leaving. Canada isn’t a country like China where no changes can be made by its citizens. I’m an immigrant, first arrived here in Canada in 2014. Once I heard the US wants to annex us I asked myself what can I do to help prevent this. I think the quickest way is we need a stronger military. I looked up the Canadian military website and found out me as a permanent resident can also be qualified to apply. Although the compensation isn’t that great, if the US really start being unwise I will definitely apply.

I have Leukemia. I have to take a particular medication, that costs $8400.00 PER BOTTLE. Doesn't cost ME a cent...ahhhh Living in Canada is so much easier....

Trudeau destroyed Canada ?

canada ist bankrott...volle Indien und Chinese...

How asylum if they came to Canada with another visa? It's weird. If they got out from their country legally so why we should give them refugee status

Actually to tell you the truth, the cost of housing is about equivalent or a little cheaper when you do the currency conversion, in Canada and the United States. Toronto and Vancouver (which seems to be the primary examples here) are significantly cheaper than New York but the most expensive in Canada. This post is way over the top, exaggerating the situation in Canada.

Wow what took so long! No more immigration into Canada! ?? ? STOP

Canada needs to shut down the border and prevent them from coming to here

This country President n it's ppl all same \nPrevious president support the terrst who was wanna attack india now Canadians citizen supporting their evil greedy previous president pathetic country canada why west show canada as polite country which polite country behave like this \nPathetic abusive country n i remember Canadian company who hire cheap employees to work in india for their organization thy literally pay nothing for so much work country beggar n racist also

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.

Canada has world class doctors,

How to make the whole world hate you one country at a time. He’s been president now for 5 days and he’s already trying to bully Mexico Panana Canada Denmark Greenland and counting.
