Canada just needs to fix the trade deficit with the United States. If Trudeau does, the U.S. tariffs would not happen. Canada has turned a deaf ear when the U.S. requested a fair trading partner and less deficits in the past decades. Trump was obligated to put a tariff on Canadian goods entering the U.S. since Canada did not resolve the problem.
Analysis of trade deficits and tariffs framed as justification for U.S. policy, focusing on economic imbalance between nations.

How the heck did you become a multi-millionaire? Canadians are OVERTAXED, so yes you SHOULD be worried about tariffs and you resigned. Make that make sense. When its all over-it will make clear sense.

We do not need any Canadian products. Tariffs will work, we have natural resources gas, oil, minerals. do not need you. Critical minerals. that's a joke. We have all the fertilizer we need. So I am not sure what he is talking about. Its time to bring the auto makers home, Its time to bring all our jobs back home. The canadians are tired of him as well and he is out in October and the conservative party will win just like in the US. People are tired of the left agenda.

Trump doesn't care about US jobs. He and the people who surround him are independently wealthy.

Focuses on job losses and economic impact of Trump policies while supporting Canada against US actions.

Business say prices will increase. There are few who said they will absorb the cost (bravo). Business may raise prices but people will only buy essential goods. So both consumer and businesses will suffer.
