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.

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.

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

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*

A lot of Canadians seem to want a trade war. When Americans heard that the truckers had gone to the capital Ottawa they were shocked,...mostly to learn that Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Do Canadians really think that most Americans sit up at night worrying what Castro's son will do?

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

time for canada to join BRIC and OPEC.

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

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Pray the Lord guides protects and helps the Leaders of Canada and the Canadians to stay strong united and free. What goes around comes around...how can America be great again hurting other countries, they will end up hurting themselves.

Canada is the size of one our states in population…

As a Canadian, I get treated better as a foreigner in the USA , than as a fellow Canadian in Canada.

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?

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!

Canadas military have 82 griffon helicopters, why not use them to patrol the border?

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.

Get these people off this County too many Immigrants no Work for Canadians Trudeau and his Partys messs he brought east India to east Canada enough is enough

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

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

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.

Canada screwed up. I even regret coming here.

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.

Just remember folks, President Trump does not care about the American people. President Trump is more focused on Greenland and Canada instead of fixing the high cost of inflation. Shame on you President Trump. You ran on fixing the economy. Not trying to acquire Greenland and Canada. Shame on you, President Trump what a waste of a vote.

Great for the American people, you can be proud to have a real leader. Like this Columbian clown president, we also have weak socialist leader in Canada. He had to resign after getting punked by Trump.

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.

Mexico, Canada, Columbia, Geeenland, Denmark, Panama… soon no country will want to trade with us anyway.

If another country did this to the US, a nuclear strike would be on the table. What the actual fuck? This is insane and I can see why countries are dumping dollars at warp speed.\n\nGlad my investments are in Canada and Europe!

Canada here - The world is trolling Trump ? keep it up world

Canada has learned a lot from the war in Ukraine. How to take down a large and powerful naval force. Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) who makes the Sea-Doo. Already has the expertise and production lines in Mexico that can be easily modified to build a fleet naval drones. START BUILDING THEM NOW! Canada can hide one in my garage anytime.

the uk is lookign to trade with cananda to replace usa, we could take colubia too. the EU is considering making canada part of the EU

We need this badly in Canada.

Canada is becoming a 3rd world country.

Canada is evil

Why did it take Tarrif threats for Canada to Enfore the Law

Trump is doing what he promised and what we landslide elected him to do. And by the way - entering illegally is and was their crime and reason for deportation. We don't need any other excuses and are merely upholding the law. Canada should try it.

Make sure they don’t flee up to Canada!!!! Especially Tren de Aragua!!!! We must secure our borders.

Trump stands for America. Canada needs leaders like him. But....

And 289 came from India with student and visit visa were crossing from Canada to USA yesterday!

I was born in Canada. It took 2 years to obtain papers for my husband and me to immigrate into Canada from the US IN 1984. THEY REFUSED OUR APPLICATION 3 TIMES.

Arrested lol. In Canada that means welcome committee by CBSA with RCMP as bellhops

Finally!!!! Not one illegal should be allowed to cross into Canada, as has been the case in the last few years, and not stopped. Thanks Trudolph!!

The RCMP usually helps carry their suitcases into Canada ?

The problem with Canada is the misinformation news networks that paid for lies the propaganda networks that should be in prison for treasonous lies

Wasn't the complaint immigrants coming into the usa from Canada? Huh im confused

Sorry Canada, you didn't protect the border from them coming this way, now we are forcing them out back to you.

If you wanna know why all these rejections, look at Canada! Canadians are some of the nicest people on earth, but the anti-Indian sentiments in the country have been steadily growing over the past few years for a reason. While some of them settle into the Canadian culture, a lot of them have instead decided to import India to Canada. The question then is, why not stay in India? If you wanna be Canadian, be Canadian, don't try to turn Canada into India 2.0. That's why Canadians seem anti-Indian now.

So before Trump, nothing has been done! Trump has been in the office for 36 hours and over 400 illegal criminals has been already deported out of USA. It’s time for Canada to change government ASAP before it gets destroyed.

Canada leaders r no use\nTime to change government and make Canada better and safer

Trump should come and clean up Canada

Why 2k only, Canada has 2million Indians, they should deport immediately. Not. Only in Canada, they should deport every country and return them. To INDIA. WHERE they belonged
