This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

Canadas biggest sell out! Carbon tax x4 coming april first yet we pollute the least!! Liberal government needs to go!!! Dont agree with what trump is doing but the working class of canada has been robbed by this guy.. time to help canada first

We have been asking for years. Take a good look at the city’s and the numbers of family’s kids and adults have died yearly from this.100,000s have died a year. Lives and family’s have been destroyed and the crime that has come with it. We have been asking for years now they claim they are helping. We need to depend on Americans and America more this can be good for us more Americans buying and selling to Americans. All these countries have gotten the better deal with us for years. Now we want the better deal.Our tax dollars have gone to all these other countries now we say no more and everyone is anti American.

Sell your oil elsewhere \nYou sell it cheap to they , sell it cheap to anyone else ?

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Trump tariffs pressure companies to build manufacturing in America to avoid tariffs and sell goods in America. It brings jobs vack to America. I cant find any other way to bring manufacturing back to America. People need jobs in America but corporate america only cared about their profits.

How long have you been terrifying us how many cars can we sell in canada?

Canada sell your products to others countries. Stop complaining and do something about it.

This is how a leader should be, clear in speech and calm, and addressing the problems instead of being a turncoat and selling your own country out, but then were already annoyed at Starmer

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

He speaks with integrity-giving real facts and numbers. And not once tried to sell a fucking hat!

In the grand scheme of things this wont hurt the U.S. The Pentagon misplaces 600 Billion every year. 155 Billion isnt going to make a difference . The U.S is going to find different suppliers who are willing to sell at a lower price. It's basic economics.

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

Thank god Trudeau.\nWe can no longer trust the US.\nnever would I thought a US president would side with Russia.\nThere's a dictator in Russia and a dickhead in the Whitehouse.\nTrade with Europe.\nI hope Ukraine don't sell out there country to a brother of putihitler.\nEurope need uk to rejoin EU\nEU now need more than ever a European army including Ukraine.\nWell done Trudeau

Yeah because we're just supposed to allow everyone to sell their stuff here and buy our stuff here and sell it in their own country for as cheap as possible. We're not supposed to get paid for our services or our products we're just supposed to give everything out to these people for free. \nBut it's also funny everyone's against tariffs all of a sudden but when y'all were slinging out tariffs left and right against Russia You're perfectly acceptable of all the long-term ramifications.\nY'all were perfectly fine with the increased gas prices as long as the tariffs were against Russia but when tariffs are going against other countries and prices start going up because of it all of a sudden now you are against it.

Shame on the Canadian government.. We have responsibilities as a country and as long as Justin and Doug keep acting like cry baby’s while selling our country out we should pay.. it’s our fault for electing people with intentions of making personal wealth over civil responsibilities

Im a canadian and very hopeful for many things trunp amd his team are doing. At the same time we sell resources cheap and in abundance to the states and already new deals have been struck with the EU and Asia.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

Please bring poilievre to sell Canada to the US ASAP, We don't have enough time?

Greetings from France. The USA is no longer a friend. I'm selling anything made in USA or brands!

Sell to Europe!

Go ahead sell for cheaper elsewhere.

Take your stuff and sell it elsewhere.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

HE FORGOT TO MENTION THAT APART FROM CARTELS PROFITING , WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICANS THAT PROFIT FROM DRUGS . C.I.A. SELLS DRUGS IN AMERICA . AMERICANS SELL DRUGS IN AMERICA . POLICE SELL DRUGS IN AMERICA . DOCTORS SELL DRUGS AND PROFIT BIG TIME FROM DRUGS FROM ALL THE PATIENTS IT RECEIVES FROM DRUG OVERDOSES AND THE HIGH PRICE THEY CHARGE FOR MWDICAL ATTENTION . THATS A CARTEL OF ITS OWN INSIDE AMERICA . AMERICA IS THE BIGGEST CARTEL IN THE WORLD BECAUSE WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE DRUG CONSUMERS IN THE WORLD AND THE NUMBER ONE DRUG DEALERS ALL I SIDE OF OUR COUNTRY . . . DONT BLAME CARTELS FOR OUR PROBLEMS . BLAME OURSELVES . . .

So yesterday zelinsky on a show in his country and it's on YouTube, he said that NATO has to protect Ukraine and US military soldiers men and women have to be in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine and getting killed, that's never going to happy you ignorance stupid Benedict Arnold, at lease the real one tried to sell west point you , ????????

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

what if the true rationale behind this is that trump actually want to do more business whit russia. because you know who got lot of oil and gas to sell? that good russian friend of course

Canada and Europe should do a deal on the Ukraine minerals. Ukraine doesn't sell out. Money is made for Ukraine and also for the European army. Win win.

DT going sell his million dollars Gold Card

This isn't about Fentanyl . If it was, trump would learn that America has been selling guns to the drug cartels. That needs to be changed right away. But trump won't listen to anyone because he is stupid.

kudos to PM for calling Trump out on using fentanyl as an excuse, other leaders should take advice from him and just call Trump out, Trump has no problem making lies to sell his narrative to his fans, leaders should oppose it and not let him just lie to anyone who believes him

As an European, we will buy your oil & gas. Just stop selling to the us.

A trade deficit occurs when you sell trinkets that no one wants or trinkets of poor quality. Next steps. Restrict people who come from no vax/raw milk regions from entering Canada; Hold military exercises in Canada with EU, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil; Close the Detroit border crossing for 3 days (thousands of amurucans work in Ontario), Restrict electricity exports to NY and MN; Restrict Canadian air space; Alaska no fly zone; Increase landing fees at YYZ and YVR. . Remember 1814 and Lundy`s Lane.

Your just as bad as putin. What automobiles does Canada produce ? Oh none so maybe we dont sell you any cars from now on. We'll see who wins this.

Canada sell your energy and raw materials to Europe - we will apreciate it… forget the orange clown and his maga moron people

Just don't sell any thing to the US.\nWe don't support this\nGod help us all

You know we in America don’t need what Canada sells us we can do without your products but we are your biggest consumer and if you do then Canada will suffer and that’s on you make it fair for America . We voted for this and it’s what we want things will go up we know but in the end we will be self contained in America we will be fine we all know we can survive without your goods but you can’t survive without us consuming your goods . Step up or step out pretty simple . How about talk to our president and not to news media talk is cheap work it out with our president he told you what was coming and you had time to make a deal . We in America will be ok but without us Canada will suffer greatly and that’s on you .

TARRIF THE CRUDE WE SELL THEM!!!!

Some Americans think all we have is maple syrup to sell

Thanks Trump! Thanks to your tariffs in Mexico as well, we had to lay off a bunch of coworkers at the beer distributor that I work for! Since we aren’t selling as much imported beer, we had to downsize the company for the first time in over 20 years! Thank you Trump! Now I have to wonder if I’ll be next in line due to lay offs right before my baby arrives. Thank you so much Trump and to the uneducated Trump voters.\n\n?

Boycott All US Products and Anything Musk . The EU , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , Japan , Mexico and many more Countries have a combined GDP much greater than the USA . Lets see Trump sell US made Products to Russians with an average monthly wage of Less than $400. US Dollars a Month ?

We are selling out...taking our money and going home, eh?\nWe are boycotting anything below the 49th for good.?\nWe do not take kindly to narcissistic, felonous, lying, theieving, land-grabbing , classless bullies threatening and insulting us and tearing apart the decades of time and work it took to create NAFDA. ?(Do you know what that is? ?).\nWe are...however, still friends with Mexico!\n??????

Trump is selling America out,time for Americans to stand up to him

I don't care, I can live without any Canada products. Sell to Europe .

Trump is trying to weaken Canada and Mexico to make it easier to sell us out to putin.

Trudeau sell fertiliser to African countries.

Trudeau is the worst thing to ever happen to Canada. (well, that is until Carney gets in). The liberal/ndp coalition are pathetically weak. They are under the thumb of the globalist fascists of the wef/who. Not just horrible politicians but horrible human beings. We need them out so we can have an actual government that cares about Canadians and Canada and wont' sell us out to foreign billionaires of the WEF/WHO.

Hey Canada. Tell Elon you don’t need his cars. He can sell them to Putin.
