Canada beg for money to USA ????? Canada traiff world number one economy USA ?? what a joke ?????????? Canada far left communists are jokers ????????????????????

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

Canada dont worry Europe want import from you. USA is not the only one who want goods.

This needed to be done lets see who suffers more , canada with an economy smaller than texas or usa , canada richest city is poorer than usa poorest city let that sink in .

I’m betting that within one week Canada and Mexico will cave. It’s time these two countries stop taking advantage of the USA. God bless President Trump !!

This is why Trump will occupy panama and Greenland, he will control the trade routes from west to east. This means that canada, mexico and the eu will not have any leverage in trade with countries outside of usa.\nUsa will bully and deliberately weaken his allies in order to punish china and strengthen the usa

lol if the usa revoes all it's subsidy's it gives every year to Canada , canada would not survive ..........all these pro canada far left liebour voters have ZERO understanding of economics

my prediction is canada will step back from the retaliation very soon, simply because USA is too dominant on canada economical and political. current canadian politician do not have the power or capability to stand against US.

Mexico work with Canada, Greenland and Europa instead of USA

USA has more oil and gas than Canada and Mexico together. We are top #1 in almost everything. Only manufacturing that we sent to China , and now we are bringing it back. That’s how strong the USA is . Resist and perish

Canada exports 77% of their goods to the USA . They can’t win a tariff war .

Europe Mexico and Canada are usa colony ,they are little puppy's and they will obay

Canada should say: we are much more peaceful country than the USA and tell foreign investors to invest/ open business in Canada instead of the USA. A peaceful secured country without domestic and foreign criminals.

It’s hard to believe USA treated Canada as a hostile country. Shocking

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

Drill baby drill. You know Canada is in trouble and scared when they start talking about wars and 911. Canadians should say goodbye to their free healthcare to start with. USA will just do fine without Canada.

Canada Vs USA. I bet USA wins, any takers?

I hope Canada wants to eat all their food. We in the USA already have the same products.

Canada is depedent on usa. Usa isnt on canada. So canadians stop ur bulshit talk now and come to terms. Your economy will collapse soon. Trump knows that. ???

Canada should increase the barrel ?️ price for oil sold to USA

Canada must hold firm against the aggressor Gilead, formerly known as the USA.

Eu Needs Gas , canada needs Cash ?so do Business with EU , USA NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON

Why Mexico n canada etc countries making troubles to usa delete students visa to much migration nonsense

If Canada wants to go with China , Damn good for USA ; Most of the countries surrounding India , Economy collapsed plus some African nations ; They moved out of China now ; Make a proper deal with Trump ; All he wants no drugs / human trafficking into USA

I think all this shows is that Canada relies too heavily on the USA. A new economic bloc needs to be formed.

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Canada ?? strengthen even more the relationship with the EU ?? and remaining allies. We need to learn to not be overdependent on the USA at all levels! Then USA cannot moan that if it says to jump we don't ask how high!

Next step Annex Canada to the USA!! Let's go people stop playing around. Let's do this! Canada must join the USA, you can't win this! lol Canadian serfs cannot be taxed (Fleeced) anymore than they already are...

Dumb move, Trudeau. Trump doesn't fear measured responses; he's not a normal person. He only understands if you hit him back much harder than he hits you. \nCanada should NOT impose retaliatory counter tariffs that harm CANADIANS (Or do like China and impose 75% Tariffs on US items Canada can easily buy elsewhere). Rather, Canada should shut the OIL spigot and cancel electric feeds into the USA. RIGHT NOW. THAT would have the required effect and NOT HARM Canadians.

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

There are so many countries that are willing to trade with the US and will replace Canada and Mexico.Why do you think Trump didnt put tariffs on Europe straight away?\nThe small European countries are the winners and their trade with the USA will increase dramatically. And the products will still be chealer than those from Canada.

We must trade and help Canada and Mexico. Stop trading with USA and ban X.

A very good decision, so companies can no longer produce with cheap labor in Mexico and Canada and then resell expensively in the USA. Many companies will close their factories there and come to the USA.

Suddenly, Canada China And Mexico think they can be together to replace USA. ??? Good job new state of US and Governor Trudeau ?

TRUMP II\n\nSo cool, NAFTA raises Government revenue. Mexico, Canada & USA.\n\n10% for Red China?\n\nThat's good for a laugh. Doubt Red China will respond as these is the INTERNAL AFFAIRS of NAFTA.\n\n?❤

We in usa welcome the tariffs on canada. Go trump!!

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

It will only make both Canada and Mexico to trade with other countries, while the USA starts being isolated from other countries more and more. In the end it's only gonna be the ordinary people who's gonna suffer

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

America don't need the world. America have God. Trump don't succumbs. Trump should immediately banned Mexico and Canada products to the USA

Canada need to introduced a Canadian White Card! Just like the Green Card in usa

Typical Americans and Trump. Sign a free trade agreement and then when you feel like it just violate it for your own interest. They only play by their own rules. If Canada violated the agreement they would all over it. A while back they tried to nail Canada with 4 billion in softwood lumber tariffs in that they claimed Canada violated the free trade agreement, which they did not. The arbitrary trade council which oversees both countries ordered the USA to pay back Canada the 4 billion. The USA never did. Trump claims Canada treats them unfairly yet they are the ones who violate the agreements. They are the poor trading partner. Canada should trim the exports to the USA significantly and find alternatives. Just cut out the corrupt Americans led by a convicted criminal.

Every gun crime in Canada is done with a weapon made in the USA. Stop the guns crossing the border into Canada, both legal and illegal.

What level of tariffs should be imposed by Canada and Mexico on the USA for the flow of guns to those countries?

Way to go Canada, USA business will just stop shipping to you and what are you going to do without USA goods and services?

Who going to buy 79% of Canada goods exported to USA?

Canada just needs to stop trading with USA, trade with Mexico and China!

This was the correct decision because the US wants bring jobs back to the USA. Jobs in Mexico vs USA trump will choose jobs in the US; Politely subsidized lumber from Canada vs lumber from the USA easy decision; Dairy from Oh' Canada , a short term squeeze. On behalf of all US citizens I would like to thank the people of El Mehico and Oh' Canada for the help in the disentanglement.

USA military will take Canada and Mexico soon

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
