We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

????\nNOBODY cares what Canada says or thinks. \nCANADA MEANS NOTHING

Wait... you mean Canada has a leader who can actually communicate in full sentences and not play an invisible accordian like a street monkey?! I thought every leader was like tRump. Damn! ????

Canada, we would love for you to join the EU! In these challenging times, having a strong and reliable friend like you would mean a lot to us. Sending much love from Luxembourg, Europe ?

Let us not forget, that there is also a boycott of travel to the United States which means there are billions of dollars that will not be spent on travel, on accommodation, on the purchase of goods while in the States because there is no longer vacation or travel being done by Canada. That is going to be hundreds of billions of dollars lost to US coffers. This is going to hurt America deeply.

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.

People from America (and I mean de continent) check the labels before you buy and support Canada and Mexico over USA products every time you can. Trump needs a lesson of how support and partnership is way better than the nonsense he is doing.

You said it “MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE” what a shit show this maggot has created.. turn off the power in NY and every other red state if possible! I love Canada and I do not blame you at all! Stand your ground and come hard and I mean hard!! Make Thea fu**era beg Canada!!

That lady simply lied and tried to twist reality. Trudeau didnt say anything Anti-American. She means anti-white supremacist....trudeau is saying America is not going to use them but mistreating at the same time. Canada is right. Protect yourselves. People in America will see that supporting Trump is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. its just a matter of time.

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

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!

He has absolutely no clue how irrelevant he is . This is his choice all he had to do was secure his boarders . So that means Canada is going to be complyoverrun in the future with illegals aliens

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

American here, I will stand with you Canada. Even if it means treason.

Literally all of Canada hates this guy with a passion and anything he says means jack shit

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

You mean exiting Prime Minister, that Canada doesn't want, that is why Prime Minister Trudeau is backing down and quitting from his own political fight. Don't forget Prime Minister Trudeau froze Canadian citizens bank accoiunts for protesting goverment Covid-19 vaccination manfates.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Born and Raised in Canada and there is another sort of comparison I'm starting to see more and more: We have the Stagnation of Japan and the the Personality of Britain. \n\nWhat I mean by that, the people in Canada, least the older ones (Boomers), got very conservative and never wanted to rock the boat and do new things. They had in their eyes a good thing. They had work and owned their home. None of them wanted to risk that so they kept things the same for the past 3 decades or so. Well a lot has changed around the world, and were pretty much the same old. Literally. In retirement. Whats the last interesting thing Canada has done since the Canadarm? \n\nI can think of a number of achievements the rest of the world has done, including many 3rd world countries. But Canada is the same old. This has become our Culture. We don't talk about new ideas. We witness them online, but we're not Creators. We are Consumers. And that is what I think happened to Britain after they got resettled after WWII. Britain is pretty dry. And so is Canada. Hence our forest fires!

The rule in Canada is ‘my adult children cannot afford to buy in the neighborhood they grew up in!…housing prices have to go down!\n\nWhat they really mean is they want their next door neighbours to sell THEIR house for $250,000, but still want their own hose to be worth $2.8 million (after paying $135,000 for it in 1985 - like my older sister and her family)….\n\nSorry it doesn’t work that way….oh, and forget about them voting for parties which restrict immigration - if immigration goes down, so will the regular increases in the price of housing….

All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

Canada needs to stop living beyond its means. Get rid of un-necessary ministries, involvements in private sector that isn't mandated. A Canadian DOGE would be good too, to look line by line to get rid of waste, abuse, corruption. Stop electing the Liberals which like the US Democrats just spend the public money to buy votes like a drunken sailor.

There is no way you can cover the economic situation of Canada in 14 minutes. \n\nThe housing crisis is actually caused by a 1982 change in a public policy about financing housing and specifically to move away from public housing to have a strictly financing the mortgages \n\nThis means that when we had the 2008 housing collapse banks for completely bailed out with no public input compared to the United States

Not trump but a more liberal future president should seriously consider making Canada apart of the USA, it would be ridiculously powerful and innovative. I mean the only reason they exist is the British managed to fight off the US

Well... Despite it's problems, I'd still much rather live in Canada than the UK. I mean look how beautiful and clean it is.

What do you mean by betrayal, you DESI? Indian students, if you don't like Canadian policies, please get out of ?. Immigration is a priviledge, not your birthright. Such tactics of getting immigration to Canada through back door and then slipping into USA has become very obvious, these days. S

This is disgusting. You don’t treat your delivery person like that. Cannot believe this happened in Canada. The guy kept his patience very nicely, I mean anyone could have cursed back right ?

So being canadian means being white only ? All the Europeans that split tithe USA and some in canada because of their disagreements, that may be the culture of the first settlers yes. Times have changed an racist people better get use to changes. The whole earth does not belong to any one color. The Jesuse whites clin to love and worship is Jewish , yeah remember that. I l8ve mix cultures, my family is very mixed. It is possible to coexist together in love and respect and unity. Respect all faith but also respect the founding rules of the country. I personally do not agree with somethings cultural habits like child marriage etc or Muslim laws for women etc. Thank God for Canadian laws for all people. It's normal for people to bond together in the community and they all seem to feel more comfortable living ner their own ethic people. I love all people and I'm good living amongst a mixed community!

I mean 16k people enter USA witch means 16k people got though USA government so trump force and blames Canada? Not our fault u let that many people enter u country. Our job is to keep people from entering Canada lol

If the illegal immigrants flew to Canada so why is Canada letting them in their Country not vetted. Does this mean anyony can fly to Canada without a passport? Secondly, why aren't they just staying there?

You mean the migrants who crossed over from the US in the first place? Come on Canada defend your border. Turn t hese people back to the US. So the US lets them leave but not come back? Ya who needs friends like that. How about both sides protect the border and allow NO ONE to cross illegally. Just turn them back problem solved. But we all know why Trudoh wont do that. His orders come from higher up

CANADA is AMERICA!!!! Get your facts straight!!!!!!! AMERICA does not mean the United States!!!

No kidding illegals have crossed from Canada. It's slight of hand 101. Don't watch this hand, watch this other one. CLOSE BOTH borders for 6 months until we get a handle on what's going on. That means Trudeau's people will have to get their medical help within their own system instead of coming here!!

Canada better get their shit in order. It would really be a shame should they become a territory of the US. Much like Puerto Rico is. It wouldn't be hard. We can just send a handfull of rednecks from KY up there and do it. But then again, I can't really think of anything good that came out of Canada. I mean ffs, they gave us Justin Bieber....that alone should be a war crime.

The Canadian dollar is now worth $0.55 US. That means it is very cheap for Americans to go to Canada, and expensive for Canadians to come to the US. I guess the political activists masquerading as journalists who wrote this haven't noticed.

Drugs smuggling coming from Canada? What do you mean it’s like less than 1% compared to Mexico.

We have our own housing shortage that needs to be addressed for existing Canadians who are struggling. I'm glad we are taking a pause and redifining the structure of how and who we receive into Canada. Until we sort out the housing crisis, which is in every major city, there simply aren't enough homes to help those in need and address newcomers who aren't financially self sufficient. If those immigrating to another country, they should provide their new country with their own financial means of support, or be of a profession that is in demand, the sooner they get jobs and pay into the system, the better.

IF THE POLICE DOES NOT ARREST THOSE ON THE BUSES IN NEW YORK FROM CANADA THEY ARE VIOLATE FEDERAL LAWS AND THEIR BOSSES SHOULD BE ARRESTED A.S.A.P. NOONE IN GOVERMENT EVER GETS ARRESTED MEANS THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. N.Y. WILL BE DESTTOYED BY THE GANGS SO LETBTHEM SUFFER IF THEY WANT TO NOT OBEY THE LAWS BUT US IN OTHER STATES ARE FORCED TO OBEY THE LAW WHY ????????

As a Canadian, I support any measure Trump places on Canada. There's a lot of Canadians, who are not willing to bend the knee to the Trudeau government, even if it means some pain. We are so sick of Trudeau and his NDP coalition government. Canada is struggling to get rid of this government and to let you know how bad it is, we are about to have our first ever 'UNELECTED' prime minister. He won't last long but it does really feel like pure unadulterated Authoritarianism.

Blame Canada for allowing no-visa travel from many third-world countries around the world. This means literally anyone can get on a plane, fly to Canada, then walk across the border into the US. Canada is an enabler of this mass migration and they need to be stopped.

Entering New York City from Canada? You mean NY state? And do you know how many stragglers Canada gets off yall's migrants? Let's call a spade a spade, the left governments of both nations caused this mess and let in WAY too many people in who shouldn't be here. And worse, they breed like rabbits i.e they multiply

Please stay away from Canada I moved here and I regret it every day. I'm a citizen through my parents and getting my certificate took YEARS which stopped me from being able to go to school or work which means years of my adult life wasted that could have been put to much better use for something that wasn't even my fault. I also lost good opportunities too because of it!!!! Not happy especially since I genuinely needed the money. I won't forgive Canada for that. Also everything here is really expensive and the selection is just not very good. Also work opportunities are not as good as in the US. Anyways I finally got my certificate and got my life started up again just over 2 years ago, but I still often think of returning to the US after just being here for 4.5 years. I now warn some of my US friends not to go to Canada just for the hype if they mention it. I also know of a friend who moved here and left after 1 year, they came to hate it here.

They need to understand that rules and laws apply same to everyone. Getting degree does not mean immigration, internet is ubiquitous and they should have to read first before making decisions, what are rules, regulations and what to expect after getting degree. Many other nations get degrees in collages and universities in Canada but do not create chaos, disturbance in parks and city centres, and do not go on attack.

Who has no problems in life?, it does not mean that you will enter any country by wrong path, you will do anything to reach the great aspiration. A nationalist Indian never supports illegal immigrants, If we are troubled by Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators then other countries will also feel the same. Illegal is illegal, no mercy should be shown to them. Now India got a golden opportunity to deport such illegal infiltrators. The country will not be able to say anything to the Champions of human rights, India should also deport illegal Bangladeshis & Rohingya infiltrators living in India in same process, then no one will be able to speak, the country which is the champion of human rights, country like USA, UK, Canada, Australia. Now this is an alarm bell for Bangladesh and Rohingya infiltrators liveing in india illegally.

History is always favourable to the immigrants. Be it N&S America, India or anywhere in this world only difference is timeline. Australia was the dumping ground of the white criminals. India absorbed 40 million Bangladeshis, 10 million Nepalis much more bigger population than canada. Make yourself fitter for survival, learn to live within means but thrive for better. Whining is not the answer.

I’ve travelled around both countries. Canada looks clean, and nearly everywhere is tidy & well kept. \nI cannot make these claims about America. \nP.S. America is after an Explorer. Canada is indigenous word! Meaning ‘We The People’.
