Canada has been ripping off the U.S. for years. Don't mess with the Don.

Canada is not sorry

Canada should impose a 100% tariff.

Canada have been freeholders for decades, time they paid their way.

Lol canada is gonna be in huge trouble. With bad relations with US and india, canadians better be ready for chaos. They are already in chaos even without these tarifs.

Canada will be crawling back, rest assured.

It’s time for Canada and Mexico and China trade with each other and exclude USA.

No more Tesla for Canada please.

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

I guess Canada does not want to secure their border

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.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

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.

Unbelievable! So there’s hope that I will start seeing Canada as a country one day ?

Could Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan all get together and have a talk with Uncle Sam? I think we need an intervention at this point. Help!

Tariffs made the depression so much worse and longer than it had to be. 1932 all over again. We never learn from the past. Canada should cut power to the northeast ASAP.

We must value friendship and good relationships between America, Canada, and Mexico.

Canada and Mexico have no commitment to reducing Illegal immigration,fentanyl smuggling, and human trafficking. They are corrupt as China and Russia.

Good to see Justin standing up against the big Bully Donald Trump. Don't mess with Canada!

Canada thinks we're in a trade war. That's so cute!

Canada ?? True North Strong and Free! We will fight for our country to the end!!!

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

I’m an American and I like how Canada claps back at the orange clown.?

Canada is more concerned with lilling 400 ostriches

Canadian here. It is time for Canada to reduce dependency on US, and increase trades with other countries and patterns. Do not be acting as an USA's puppet anymore. We are not inferior to Americans.

Canada's economy is already on the decline. Trump picked the right time to hammer Canada as it has never been so divided after 10 years of inept governance by a totally inept woke Marxist government led by Trudeau.

As a non-American and non-Canadian, I will collect more Lululemon & other Canadian apparels and buy Canadian and avoid American products until Trump will be gone. Canada please promote your products to other countries.\n\nCanada must promote to other countries and market more, a lot of Canadian Hollywood celebrities can help.

Canada needs to find new markets. Decoupling from the IS economy should be the future goal.

Its a bit of a headscratcher why US is imposing heavy handed tariffs on Canada if illegal immigration and drug trafficking from Canada is not that high. Almost seems like a personality issue - Trump doesnt like Trudeau bcoz he made fun of him or something..

By the way in the USA you pay taxes a lot to. Its very similar to Canada ?? when it comes to work and taxes

We owe them nothing, it is OUR right to send them back. They are the reason that there is a housing crises in Canada, overloading at food banks. You are a guest in this county and do not have any rights to tell us Canadians what to do , just leave and there will be no problems.

Because ur country politicians f..ked Canada by dilution

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.

May be because, they were not Khalistani terroridts. Canada and the UK want only terrorists, rap*sts etc in their countries.

80 percent of Canadian people complaining about immigrants in Canada ,had grandparents that immigrated 60 years ago?

My cousin moved to Texas from Canada with her husband & 2 young children. They grew up in the US & one of those children now live in Scotland. My cousin recently moved to Tampa Florida & loves it. \n\nI have a friend who married & moved to California, raised her 3 boys there but then moved back to Canada to assist to care for her aging mother. She is one of the biggest advocates for living in Canada. \n\nI am working on moving to the US due to my fiancé lives there.

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.

You could say because of mass Indian migration in Canada (both Hindu and Sikhs) they also brought with them their domestic rivalry in Canada and that soured everything up.

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

They will find it unaffordable here just as those of us born in Canada do. They will be heavily taxed and struggle with their Walmart and Tim Horton's jobs to save enough for a down payment on a house that is only a small bungalow, yet costs half a million dollars. Maybe they haven't realized it's not all that great living in Canada.

How dare Canada deny undocumented immigrants entry into Canada and separate families!

People will fight back. The more you block them off, the stronger the resistance becomes. What do you do now? It looks like things were better when there was some form of controlled flow of immigrants than this utter chaos. Even if I want to think that this invasion is not okay, it was the US who invaded all their ancestral lands first. Mexico used to be all the way to California extending to Texas. Now, US wants to annex Canada and Greenland.

Canada seems like the second Indian country!?

You see in Canada tariffs on Colombian products would never happen, because Columbia only produces coffee legally for us. And Canadians love coffee too much.

Colombia might blink, but Canada and Mexico won't

Canada and Mexico will be hitting the USA with 25% tariffs. EU and China will hit the USA with 25% tariffs soon after. South America like Brazil are likely to follow. MAGA USA is doomed. It's one thing to talk tough, it's another to stay alive while doing it.

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.

Then they will seek assylum. And will be granted a permanent resident.. Liberals will give them money to start in Canada while taxing Canadians to death.

Canada next please !

The baseline is a that Canada has a responsibility to its citizens but has no obligation to foreign persons. Clearly more could be done with less by promptly rejecting of applications except for short list skill sets. Person with problematic political beliefs should be deported ASAP. Canada doesn’t need foreign demonstrators and Canada haters in the country and should take action similar to Italy.
