50% tariffs on all things Canadian. Let them cut the power. Build to deal with it. Will pay more for gas and electric to see the end of canadian rape of America.

i live in Canada and i do not agree with what Justin Trudeau is doing. We SHOULD back down from fighting! This is a war we cannot win.❤ Most people in Canada want Justin out of office. The government here is out of touch with reality, and out of control too.❤ i think Donald is doing a pretty good job. He is putting tariffs on imports because he wants people to buy items that are made in the United States of America. i think that is a good thing for Donald to do for the country of United States: putting America first.❤ The way i see it is that Canada is going to war with both Russia and the United States of America! Crazy.

Well said, Mr. Prime Minister. Go Canada--hopefully see you on the other side of this, when we get rid of this clown show. Pardon our dust...some of our slower citizens have to learn things the hard way.

It's absolutely unfathomable that things have been allowed to escalate to this point. It is obvious that our country is being taken over by Russian agents in the WH. How else can you be so tone deaf to what this stupid tarrif position is going to do to our economy, unemployment people that are not wealthy. These rich people absolutely do not care about us regular people. Our forefathers would be livid to see what has become of our country. MAGAs have been duped with so many lies and exaggerations that have been generated by Russia into the social media consciousness that they have paved the way for a total take over designated to ruin our country. It's happening, and people are so duped ...... it's like a bad movie.

Did you see how he dumbed it down when he started talking directly to Trump? 'BIG THINGS'

The only possible answer to all of this is that there is no daylight anymore between Trump and Putin, none whatsoever. The only thing stopping or scaling back Trump from taking these measures is when he sees the impact on the markets and consequently impact to his own wealth and that of his billionaire cronies...

This is what happens when you let a businessman become a president, only thing on his mind is to make money no mater what it costs. Lets see how long this will last. Looking forwars for re-election the sooner the better. Trump cant pick sides with a terrorist and diktator, whats next, all the terrorist become US friends ?!

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

America doesn't need there trade, both Canada & Mexico was only worth about 2.3% of their entire GDP. It's a bad thing for Canada but it's not going to effect America, you'll probably see a temporary blip but it'll be back booming even better in no time.

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

I NEVER thought i would see this day where we are at war with our neighbors! I arrived here in 1981 from UK with my family. \nI am utterly disgusted with the DONALD! \nMaybe he is a smart man, BUT doing DUMB THINGS!!!! \nWhat he is doing to the American people is one of the worst things you could do for your country! \n\nWe stand with you Americans from across the border here ! \n?? ??

As a Canadian Ive disliked Justin for many things hes done to our country, but 100% salute him for this speech he has done today, its heartbreaking to see this trade war happening between our closest neighnours

Who didn't see this gonna happen before November 4th, 2024? 77 million vote for this, knowing this was gonna happen. Whatever happened, I hope the 77 million enjoy the ride. You think things were bad before watch what the next 4 years gonna get you. Buck Up America ?? Let go for the ride

USA had it own resources. Let’s see how things play out. First two years will be crucial. Best of luck to this phase in the country’s chapter.

Can hardly wait until Canada bankrupts the USA. Cut all trade with a war mongering nation, Canadians stand strong and free, we will prevail against the likes of Trump, Vance and musk who was never elected to office. Ontario just canceled starlinks, we don’t buy American products, the best thing is to shut our borders to American citizens and trade period. Just wait and see USA what we do!

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

So for everyone fawning over Trudeau's ability to be articulate, that is impressive to you only because the U.S. has had a piece of steamed broccoli named Biden as a figure head for the last 4 years.\nI can't say I understand Trump's strategy with respect to Canada, but I absolutely know that Trump is no Socialist like Trudeau is. I am happy to wait and see how this shakes out because Trump has been right on so, so many things. No one is perfect, not Trump and not Trudeau. Maybe it's not about drugs. Maybe Canada could offer to go back to respecting individual liberties and free speech in return for the elimination of U.S. tariffs. Sounds like something Trump would agree to.

Canadians r sorry but we will make things hard for america and no one will be to blame but their president the walking orange pumpkin school yard bully, ? tarrif on Tesla woot woot, we r done with Musk making money on Canada, we r don't protecting America, joining their ridiculous wars and losing our own ppl for their benefit, they will see what elbows up means to a Canadian

Wow, how quickly you all seem to forget. We have been paying them large amounts for years and we as Americans have been paying for it with our taxes. So because you listen to the media and like the way he speaks. It's okay! Let's not stand up for ourselves and our country and lets keep paying high taxes and make everyone in the world HAPPY! How about just like every other president we let him do his job and see where we end up at. Instead of fighting his every move because propaganda and uncertainty, let's give him a chance and see were things go. These other countries are just crying because they can no longer take advantage of America and take our money.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

To all Canadians, as an American, it was so refreshing to see PM Trudeau stand up to the big bully who has some type of bromance with Putin. We feel he has something he’s holding over ?’s head. We also feel our election was rigged by muskrat. We live in a Blue state, Illinois, and we will suffer some things the ? felon we withhold from us. I don’t care. We’d rather be in a blue state no matter what. Please pray for us and all Americans who despise this man. Thank you.

The only thing I see positive in the behaviour of Donald Trump is that it will force European countries European countries to unite themselves

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

Level-headed, measured, amicable, educated, a real leader and statesman. Talking to an orange baffoon. I only disgree with Trudeau in one thing. Trump does dumb things cause he is actually dumb. And seeing that he is insulting people and allies left and right I personally would love for other leaders inventing fitting names for him paying him back in kind. Someone came up with Mango Mussolini, I had until now favored Orange Utan, but the Mango version is appealing. And lets face it, Trump's cabinet of circus freaks also literally begs to be ridiculed.

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

Now the whole world sees that you cannot trust the U.S. Hopefully someone close to Trump will knock some sense into him. This is a bad idea ! After 4 years if high inflation, Trump is making things worse for the poorest with thess tariffs. If the U.S stands alone on the world stage, they will look like stooges because nobody likes a bully.

Let's be clear Mr. Trudeau, with your pandering to the EU.. No one in your country is at risk. You're so cozy up there taking other countries and other people's money. Nobody in your country is at risk of harm, unless you want to try something? Come on Son! The U.S. is tired of War. We The People are tired of the killing, the killing you are so comfortable with. There is enough War in the world without you adding to it. Are we crystal clear now? We don't need you. And I am willing to go without a few things to prove it to you. I think a lot of Americans are now. We'll see. MAGA ??

Please do not blame America as a whole for this... Sadly its just a group of uneducated people that have no freaking idea what they are doing that are doing this . ...Still in shock they even came to power. Now we all see the results of decades of Russian propaganda. Good job Russia... The only thing yall ever did right is propaganda :(

47 is transactional. On every front. We see what appears irrational, nonsensical, maybe even dumb. The question is, what deal has he already made for which he will be rewarded? The consequences 47’s actions spell the tearing down the status quo and the power of democracies around the globe. These things seem to be 47’s goal, not just some unfortunate consequence.

The dumb ass fact Trump TRULY believes Elon can save the U.S.A is the VERY REASON we WILL need SAVING! ???‍♀️ ALL BECAUSE CERTAIN ONES DIDN’T WANT TO SEE A BLACK WOMAN GENUINELY TRY WITH ALL HER MITE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER UNSELFISHLY! ?

Stop all oil exports. See how fast this tariff shit lasts. And then only give us oil if Trump stops effing with America and restores all the things that America was before he destroyed it all.

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

He is talking about the things he see happening.\nOther talk what they hear someone said.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I am a US citizen and I am terrified about everything that is happening in this country. I am horrified that there are so many hateful and greedy people in this country that allowed this orange moron to hold office not once, but twice. I will never understand how he is being allowed to get away with the things he is doing, so many of which are illegal. Where are the US leaders who will stand up to him? He is nothing but a bratty toddler having a tantrum, determined to destroy as much as he can, as fast as he can.. How do so many people not see this?!!!

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

I will make it make sense!\nTrump owes Putin for loaning Trump Inc. billions to prop him up from another bankruptcy. Now its time to pay up. If he doesn't perform accordingly, some not so good things could potentially be in order. Trump has fed his flunkie followers a garbage of hope. Those surrounding him have been promised high level authority if his Coup in ridding America of Democracy prevails. He is destroying higher Authority first. The last piece to his plan will be SCOTUS. They are too smart to see it coming, thats why that group continues to provide cover for all of Trump's lunacy. Maybe there will soon be a Daniel to reveal the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. Insha Allah. ?

Yet his supports see this and still have some ignorant thing to say

Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,\n10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.\n11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:\n12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,\n13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.\n14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.\n15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,\n16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!\n17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,\n18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!\n19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

As an American I can tell you: This started to hurt since the moment the US president floated the idea. Now we will be seeing even higher inflation and those who will suffer the most are the mass voters of DJT.\n100% this by far is the dumbest thing he has done since that time he wanted people to be injected Clorox to kill Covid.

Your a puppet for china and soros everyone know that. Your on your way out ! You e been stealing from us for years hurting your own people. Its a good thing you have a good speech writer . We shall see whos stonger in the end you lying trator to your own country. Youve sat and let drugs and illegals invade our boarders for years you worthless piece of **** .How dare you speak to Trump like you have a right to your sickening. Your ready to release what ever it is you have to betray your people and Americans to further your own sale out agenda your an evil coward .

This has nothing to do with Canada or the Canadian people. This is a pure transactional move because that is how Trump sees things. He needs the money to finance his agenda and he has been told that the money does not exist in terms of what the US Congress can provide. They won't cut military spending and they wouldn't dare touch SS or Medicare. Therefore, Trump is resorting to the only available option which is to have the American people pay for it all and that is what he is doing with these tariffs. He doesn't need to worry about reelection so he couldn't care less how much pain he is inflicting on the very people who voted for him. Elections have consequences.

I have seen lower numbers on bids for structural steel in the past two months then I have in a few years. They are beating my estimates. I hear everyone’s fears but I’m seeing great numbers on the construction side of things??‍♀️

I always wondered where is the Canadas Money? What do they do with it? Where does it all go things cost so much more than other country's. Does the money stay in Canada? Or does it go to the CROWN I don't know. Wherever it goes it is not the People that see much of it.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now
