Discourse Analysis

They do pay taxes.

Canada has population growth problem and government tried solving it by laxing immigration laws. For example Canada can't even build it's own car because it would take massive investment and it won't be profitable because of it's tiny population comparing to other countries therefor making the Canadian economy limited.

US gets 50% of Canada's natural gas production and $100B+ of crude oil from Canada - all US consumers will be stuck with the price increases... don't matter if you are red or blue.

People aren’t even talking about tourism because it’s not directly hit by tariffs. Over 20 billion dollars in 2024 spent by Canadians in the US for travel. Tons of people already cancelled any trips to the US to boycott. If even 10% less people go to US this year, upwards of 2 billion in tourism $ is gone , and roughly 14000 jobs estimated. \n\nImagine what else could be affected

Country needs serious help, Canadians will never own homes w these house prices!

The threat to “not buy USA made” is hilarious. 70% of our GDP is consumer spending. We don’t make things, we BUY things. Losing a customer like the US is very bad for business.

Canada has a population of 40 million while the U.S. has 330 million. Take a wild guess why Canada has a trade surplus with the United States.

No one is going to move their manufacturing to Canada

Yep it's going to be interesting \nAs I work for an international Automotive injection molding company based here in the US\nWe import Raw materials from Europe and China plus within the US and who knows where these materials come from.\nBut we also export finished products and materials to Europe, China, Canada, Mexico just to name afew.\nThat is a lot of tariffs placed on these products and that doesn't include tax, cost of labor, manufacturing costs\ngoing to be interesting what the future holds

As far as alcohol exports Canada exports over 600 million dollars to the us while the us exports 255 million to Canada. Both countries lose. But this does highlight the trade deficit between the two countries. 63 billion dollar trade deficit with canada is enormous. I don't know what the solution is, but i know this will be painful for all.

As an american, i support trump, fairness to all even to ourself

Many people do not understand how tariffs impact the importation of goods and services. Canada lacks the infrastructure to produce the minerals required for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. Additionally, Canada does not possess the same international influence as the United States, particularly in military matters. As a result, Canadians may face more significant challenges, as their economy relies more on U.S. trade than the United States' reliance on Canada. Overall, Canada has a less developed economy and limited global influence.

Lol - Corporations are abusing these programs to fire Canadians and replace them with people at lower wages and this is crashing the housing market across the country.

Immigration = housing shortages, rent/price increases, businesses can undercut wages and creates more job competition for everyone. Waiting lists for surgery, appointments and less money to upgrade hospitals. Less money to improve all social services. I could go on. You get the point yet?

The declining birthrate is directly tied to the economy. It's not that people aren't capable of having big families, it's that it's been made unaffordable to do so.

18,000 doesnt seem much, but cost Canada 70+ Million, that a bad ratio!!

Economics 101: Tariffs are bad for the economy!

Tim Hortons hires almost exclusively Indian workers on a Temporary Foreign Worker visa. Which is just a way to scam Canadians out of jobs in Canada

I could care less for Canadas tariffs. I’m willing to pay more to pay for products made in other countries

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.
