All which is happening is, the governments are taxing their peoples an extra 25% and hiding it in the form of slight of hand

What a great leader what happened to you donie boy you are sopose to be for america 25+25makes 50

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.

Trump is trying to end a war it’s not the same thing. We don’t need Canada if you haven’t been to America then you don’t know. We can make whatever you can make and better we can grow anything and more then you can just bc of regional weather. Canada is mad bc they make a lot of money off of us and trump is changing America and getting what it’s worth. America always pays more for imports and exports , why? and yet with out American people buying y’all’s stuff you your government will fall gotta keep last and for most gotta keep Canadian politicians payed as far as I know y’all haven’t had to worry about prices in y’all’s country. For years we have been paying more for stuff that should be made here or we pay less. Plain and simple we are getting what we are worth take it or leave. It will be funny when he cuts all exports from Canada it will take a little bit but we will compensate ans there gonna with they just took the 25% little saying over here is you never know what you got till it’s gon.

So, you spent all this money, and at the end, the result is 25% US tariffs ??. This simply shows how a lapdog Canada is.

3:10 this part I 100% disagree with. They didn't sabotage their agenda at all. Their agenda was always to screw over the working and middle class, and give everything to the rich. That's been the Republican agenda for as long as I've been alive (25 years), and it's not changing anytime soon.

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

You must pay your fair share. We can't pay 25% tariffs, and you pay 5%. You are taking advantage of us.

How is imposing a 25% tariff helping the canadian people exactly? Except making us pay even more in an already hard inflation context. \nYour own ego is blinding you, Trudeau.

As an American the citizens don't really have a choice on what trump decides to do. If you want to match his 25% tariffs I think you should. We qlso don't want to help putin hurt others. We want to work with Canada our allies. I don't personally know anyone that doesn't agree with this but that doesnt meant they do not exost.

Canada put in place 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, so what’s wrong with US put in place 25% tariffs on Canadian made goods?

US implemented 25% to hold Canada accountable to your promises of halting illegal immigration and fentanyl/drugs crossing the boarders. The two of you must not have had a good meeting!!

100% of the 25% tariffs go into rich peoples pockets from both countries

Where is the Republican senators do they agree with America 25% of

Imagine Canada refusing to be a 51st state and Baby T throwing a 25 billion dollar tantrum.

How this makes sense?! If I buy US products in Canada, I am charged 25%… and always being like that.

Trudeau can either kiss Uncle Sams ring or Uncle Sam's ass. It's up to him. I say raise it another 25%. If Canadian leadership is so great they dont need trade with the U.S. right? So fk off. Lets see how well you do?

Same 25% tariffs to US devil government. And shut off oil and electric to US too. Let DEVIL trump to know Canadian STAND TOGETHER

oh no!!!! 25% more for maple syrup??? what will we do?

18:25 Wht tf is some random washed-up general being brought on to comment!!! ??????????

25% on 150 billion. It'll be a drop in the bucket if we get 100% of 300 billion back from Ukraine. Canada's economy is nothing compared to the US. US GDP is quite literally 10x larger than Canada's.

just remember Canada has as much people as California... America has already made a deal with others that actually like us. That appreciate air defense so they don't get murdered. He thinks he can tell us 25% but we can't tear them 25% with all the s*** we Supply...

No you believe in us protecting you for free for forever. And it’s over. You are crippling yourselves Canada. And again, you must have a team of moderators that crowd source opinions and use mine often to prepare you for your next speech. I am but one intelligent Hoosier calling these moves… you really will be losing seafood here next ;). Trade war is hardly 25%, and the tariffs were meant to be reciprocal anyways XD so wooo, big move. Weren’t you facing fraud charges or something just recently cuz you stole from your own people?

What I dont get is, why do Canada put up tarifs too??????? This will make life in Canada more expensive. I dont get it..... as he says, there are no winnes in a tarif war. So why do the same shit as Trump does? Just let the US pay 25% more... why should you pay more in Canada??? I dont get it.... this makes you just as dumb as Trump.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced more restrictions and tariffs. Example: 25 per cent export tax would apply to electricity that Ontario sends to 1.5 million homes and businesses in New York, Michigan and Minnesota.

What's it gonna be 25% on maple syrup shocking

Increase the price of oil exporting to US by 25%

WOW Treudeu nailed it. Wish they just joined our European union. Imagine the strenght. Does Donald know how much American companies are in ireland alone. 25% tariff on Intel, google, meta etc .. or maybe we hit it were it hurts him most, his precious golf course. ???

Trudeau is no “friend” and a very poor ally. The USA only imports 1% from the future 51st state. Canada imports 25% from the USA. Gov Trudeau is lying about who gets hurt. It will be those above the border. Stop the fentanyl Justine. That’s the whole point of the tariffs. You are killing Americans.

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

Trump is unraveling democracy in the US. There is no reason to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada. They are our friends. This is unbelievable. Trump is an abomination!!

25% tariffs on 0.05% of our exports and this guy's acting like the US will be done in a week! Lmao. What a goofball but we already knew that. Fearmongering at its finest. Canadian politicians desperately need this wake up call.

Canada we don't need yal. Canada alway get billions from America. Bye. Canada wasn't a country until all the countries invested billions every year into a program. Canada is a experiment. Drugs come across your borders look up all the evidence. You started yesterday on securing the borders? Why? Because of the 25% tariffs, right? Why your government didn't start before the tariffs? But you mad because you didn't stick to your word ,7 years ago about securing the borders. You playing mind games to the people who lack education. But people do read government documents. You waited til the 25% tariffs started. Take accountability for Canada government mistakes.

Honestly at this point I hope he crashes the economy. That is maybe the only last resort the Americans will see common sense and turn against their wannabe dictator and his crown prince before it is too late. You guys voted a dictator in because you thought Biden somehow caused the world wide inflation. Well what do you think 25% of import tariffs are going to do.

Is it me or did Mr. Trudeau just get 25% sexier??! ?❤???

Pray the Canadians dont tax or even block oil, natural gas, and electricity. Ontario announced today a 25% tax on electricity exports to New York, Minnesota, and Michigan.

25% tarrifs on both sides so all prices are just going up 25%

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

Ask how Canadians are taxed far more than a tariff, GST tax, HST tax, PST tax, carbon tax (increasing 25% April 1), federal income tax, provincial income tax, capital gains tax, land transfer tax, airport tax, luxury tax, fuel surcharge tax

Trudeau, you crook, you very conveniently say that you are putting the 25% tariff after we did it-but its the OTHER way around. You and Mexico have been putting the 25% during Bidens time and Biden would not reciprocate. Dont play with Trump?

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

A tariff from Canada of 25 percent to u.s.a. products is like taking a hair from a cat.

So Canada and Europe impose stiff tariffs on US goods, ( upwards of 300%). But the US is irrational if they impose 25%?!? We then pay to protect these clowns\n\nThe days of an unequal playing field that puts America last are over

Ok your tariffs on America are 25% our tariffs on you are 25%. Where is the WAR are they both equal that doesn’t mean WAR

You need to put a 25% export tax on your energy, minerals, and oil. It will increase the price of everything in the US immediately.

What tariffs does Canada put on U.S. goods? Canada's retaliatory measures include a 25% reciprocal tariff that will be imposed on C$155bn (US$107bn; £84bn) of American goods: A tariff on C$30bn worth of goods will become effective immediately.2 hours ago

if a country with a net deficit puts 25% tariffs on the net credit trader, and the net credit puts on 25%, the net deficit profits substantially overall, they collect more tariffs, consumers just buy local, so more national business growth etc. i.e. canada is screwed, the us does well out of this. if the us put on 100% tariffs on canada, that country would go bankrupt, and the us would be fine.
