the first consequence of this tariff war is that both Americans and Canadian citizen will pay more for their products. This will raise inflation in both sides.

Don’t pick a fight with the US. You want to talk about wars that can’t be won, that’s a war you won’t win Canada. We have hardly lived five years without a war. Don’t go there. We are a resilient nation.

Why wesr a Poppy, when war stll grows... ?

Vive le Quebec LIBRE! aujourd'hui la phrase ou lapsus de Mr de Gaule prend du sens pour tout le Canada! je suis français avec de la famille au Canada et je vous soutiens de mon coeur! PEACE not WAR TRADE.

Trump is waging trade war on Canada now- but Putin is a friend now?? WTF

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

America, remember: Canadian soldiers were dying in YOUR wars, not the other way around!

HI FROM CANADA. WE ARE NOW AT WAR WITH THE USA... SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY UNTIL YOU JAIL THE NAZI RUNNING YOUR GOVERNMENT... BUT IT'S TOO LATE. YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO ACT. YOU ARE NOW A NAZI STATE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELECTIONS. AND YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. NOPE... AMERICANS GET OUT OF CANADA, STAY OUT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. LGBTQ REFUGEES FROM THE NAZI REGIME WILL BE TAKEN IN.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

It’s looking like we have to choose war or conflict with allies and economic breakdown

As a Frenchwoman with friendly ties to the United States and Canada, I am horrified by what the Americans are doing to the Ukrainians. And I think this trade war is a splendid gift for the Chinese. What's happening to the leader of the free world ?

I hate Justin Trudeau but he's had his moments recently. Ridiculous trade war.

I have had many Canadian friend including my first serious girlfriend. I worked with exchange Candian military folks and saw them as full partners. On D-Day Candian troops had their own beach which the successfully captured. They were by our side in Korea and all of our other wars. DJT's excuses for the tariff are fabricated lies exactly as it made up lies that President Zelensky did not show thanks and appreciation. Why is DJT's admin lying? Is it simply incompetence or something worse?

Is Trump committing treason to the US siding with Putin and starting a commercial war against our allies? Might he also side with Putin military? His attitude is very concerning because nobody knows how far he can get ?

There you go America !!!\n\nListen to a Strong, Young, well Articulated Prime Minister tell you how Americans will pay the price on thos trade war.\n\nWe Canadians will also pay the price, so we buy Canadian products \nand will never buy US again.\n\nI am so proud of our Prime Minister.

So trumps agenda is NO WAR! Is that a problem?? Zelensky was here and then flew back to sign the agreement the Dems had a meeting to stop him, then went in with an attitude, you have the ocean to protect you now but maybe not one day! Is that a THREAT! We have you 177 billion, same gdp as all of Europe they gave 18 billion, so stay with them and the USA is done! How disrespectful! The Dems want war, it makes the politicians tons of money

Donald Trump is an accomplice of a war criminal. Russia has kidnapped 70,000 Ukrainian children. Russia invaded a sovereign country. This is the ultimate shame for the USA. I would never have thought that one day. Shame on America.

Why a trade war? What’s the point?

The US starting a trade war with Canada is almost as dumb as Russia starting a war in Ukraine.

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

Alayna: ..strongest language? This is becoming a CHAT WAR now like in mobile games..

Insane we did this to our closest ally. Canada has had our back in every major war going back 100+ years and we treat them this way..Truly appalling

Unfortunately American people don’t understand that, because most of them are uneducated and don’t understand how wars are stopped and how allies are treated…

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

Canada. albeit in a century long war with Denmark, Is the closest you can get to an american sensible ally.

I'm trying to pick which idiotic thing this moronic president has done is the worst. The Tariffs. The Ukraine/Russia war. The Gaza handling. The Covid handling., or all of the above. I'm sure I'm missing something, but those should suffice..I'm American, and I STRONGLY stand with Canada! ..Oh! Mass deportations! How could I forget?!

Trump raging wars with our western friends and allies but at the same time sucking up to Russians and Israelis ??

The trade war is a distraction and an excuse. Trump is about to lift sanctions on Putin and re establish relations with him. Trump will buy oil from Russia and will eventually divide the planet among them including Xi maybe. Trump is a megalomaniac like Putin and he idolizes him along with other dictators and authoritarians on the planet and his cult members support every step.

I see alot of 2 face americans here making comments supporting canada. You people voted for that convicted criminal and now you want to act innocent. Americans are complicit in this act of war.

Wow, Canada hasn't fought the USA since the battle of the Aleuthians. This trade war should be just as productive. Thanks Donald.

Lol USA protects all of you, and funds all of you. Russia was a big joke. We started that war 30 years ago. USA!

America here. Canada, stay strong. Our government is operated by the corrupted. The WH, GOP Congress, GOP Supreme Court all controlled by the war criminal Putin. Trump and Co. will bury the US. It's all lies and corruption from DC now. Stay strong Canada, Mexico, and China. Trump/GOP Congress is owned by Russia. You saw how Trump deserted the Ukraine to a war criminal. Trump will do the same to you. To the free world.

No we, the USA, just responded to the trade war Canada has implemented against USA for decades

It hit's Canadians tough because we consider Americans our brothers, we've fought in wars together for centuries done everything together.

Who started World War III now trump

AM I THE ONLY ONE SMELLS WORLD WAR TREE

Trump has declared war against Citizens of the USA

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

He's going to turn America into a third world country Trump Elon. They are imbeciles and this is disgusting. This is horrible. They're opening us up for war. They're opening us up for a disaster. People are going to be starving. We're going to be standing in line for potatoes and toilet paper like it's Russia

And people say Trump is a peace maker ???… a war maker

Trudeau is washed up. His promise to help Ukraine is a joke, Canada has a WW2 military. They don't have enough shipping to send food. There isn't any food exports for ten months., after the harvest. The war will long for ver.

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

Donald Trump uses ridiculous arguments to justify his atrocities: Fentanyl, Ukraine, starting in the war, Ukraine, being disrespectful, the European Union ripping us off.

Hitler called war on two advisaries, Viva Mexico, hora Canada... Austraia has your back!

The unnecessary wars today destroy lives, nation to nation relationships, future of the children, and bankrupt countries.... why unnecessary wars become the prime objectives when homelessness, poverty and national debts are at the bottom priorities? Why?

Trump is a Russian agent and the economic war he is waging will give the upper hand to Putin and the Russian federation and all this is only the beginning ? trump will stir unrest and division which will eventually turn into a full scale civil war in America and spread across the globe ? trump is a Heretic president for all the world to see

? Oh Mr. Trudeau, you are a real gentleman and a leader. We need a man like you right here in América. This wanna be dictator is just insane.\nI apologize to you and the Canadian people for this disgraceful economic war.\nCanadians, don't give up!\nDaniel.

Plot twist, no tariff war, just the same old mixtape playing backwards lol, PEACE!!!

Trump is the ONLY ONE for Peace , NDP, Con & Libs are all played by Zelenski's warmongering to stay illegitimately in power since 2020. The country i live in is a Europeen farce. 51st will sound appealing when the Nukes starts blowing up. Look up Donbas's separatist, disposing of them to put guided missiles on the Russian Border and what REALLY started this . GOD DAMN, your ignorance is costing us World War 3 you bumch of imbecilles.

Watch Tramp starting real war with Canada that if civil doesn’t break first
