I just finished my test January 28 2026 19/20. , I got multiple True/False questions as many people. One was about Olympic gold medal winner in 2010 Vancouver was Men's team. True. I remember a question about start of the modern energy industry, it had given timefram and what was the energy . I chose the Oil Alberta 1947 , which was correct. It has I think hydroelectricity Quebec 1980 as another answer closest for choice. Another question I remember True false , it has 3 names Question was are these one of the great inventors of Canada. So I would suggest you take note of Greatest inventors of Canada. There are multiple. Many answers of questions are too easy to eliminate because they don't make sense at all. You are mostly between 2 answers easily. If you just study this video I think you'll surely pass 😅. Another question was ; Who are appointed by on the advice of Prime minister? Answers; Memebers of parliement Mayors Senators Citizens Obviously Senators was the answer but answers might differ, so just study the other applicable answers for the questions.

See the thing is cultural shock... First of all the sikhs come from a very conservatives cultural and so in cannada the britishers and french settler earlier so their will be a cultural shock... And , The main point is the Sikh genocide , so particuarally in 1980's their was a fight between Indian government and radical sikh group to make another own country. So in the civil war our government launched Operation Blue Star in this the holyiest place the Golden temple for sikhs was attacked by Indian army and killed the main terrosist and somehow the main part of Golden Templen was burn.. So then the Sikhs were very government. Then, our prime minister Indhira Ghandhi was assisinate by their sikh body guard and then bcz she was very influencial person, people started riots and revoluting again the Sikhs , like in the main cities like the capital New Delhi people throw stones and boycott the Sikhs and the goverment stop funding their state PUNJAB so their was low job oppurnities and they economically.. So a mass migeration movement happen that every sikh families were moving in Cannada for good quality of Life....

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wearing a suit, Donald don't know how to start talking now!

Why'd they cut off the Q&A ??? Understand cutting of when he started speaking in French, but the Q&A is English. We don't care for the pundits ,we wanted to hear what the Prime minister had to say

From Bangladesh, I acknowledge Prime Minister Trudeau; he gave a very beautiful speech, and I agree 100% for a smart guy that it was a very dumb thing to start a war with allies.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

I don't understand why you all started babbling and didn't let us listen to the prime minister. All you did was repeat what he said over and over again each of you. You should have stuck with the news conference in Canada

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

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%

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

What a whiny little clown this Trudeau is. When your high school drama teacher becomes Prime Minister. Trudeau should have taken steps to defuse the crisis before it started.

Trump gave earlier the real reason why he started this trade war: he wants Canada to become the 51st state of the USA. He also wants Greenland so he can secure the Northern passage.\nCanada is a country of the British Commonwealth, and it is interesting that Trudeau met with King Charles last week. Oddly enough, the British Prime Minister dodged questions from White House reporters on this topic.\nNow about the G7 forthcoming summit: Trump is a convicted felon and may not attend without the permission of the host country, which this year happens to be Canada!

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

I support you Prime Minister. In 2016 the day after “he” was elected I started my research to figure out how we could move to Canada. It wasn’t possible for us at the time. I’m so deeply saddened by this monstrous and despicable decision by him that will affect both of our countries so horribly.

That's a great speach by Prime-Minister of Canada.\n\nTrump made a mistake to start trade war against friends. Russia is a foe of the US, but Trump loves Putin. Why Donald stays his feelings on the top instead America, Freedom and Democracy???

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

It’s a _Prime_ Minister, not a Prime _Minister_ !\nOtherwise: Start a free trade union with the EU!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Congratulations Mr. Trudeau, you finally sound like our Prime Minister should. Now start making this country self sufficient so we don't have to rely on anyone. No more selling off our Crown corporations our land and other businesses to foreign countries. Keep Canada Canadian and give jobs to born Canadians first. Stock pile our oil and gas for our use and lower the prices of these things so that transportation cost make things easier for business and personal enjoyment. Don't tax the farmer so that they can supply food to everyone cheaper. We should not be struggling in this country which has all the natural resources . The unnatural population growth has put a strain on the whole system and in some cases put us in danger too. The crime rate has increased in large part to your lax immigration system. All the businesses increased the prices of everything due to this unnatural population growth. Supply and demand is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. In a normal household we make plans and prepare for changes. You just said ok, let's bring people here and forgot about the preparations. Infrastructure first man. If your going to bring half a million people over here, build the houses first bro. Nobody in Canada should be homeless which is another result of poor preparation. The housing prices and everything else went through the roof in large part due to the unnatural population growth. Anyway, think first before you act just like in a private home. Good luck Mr. Trudeau and everyone else. I hope it's not too late to get this country back on track so we can all enjoy life the way we used to....Peace

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

tRump gave the Prime Minister the best gift ever, a war that Canada didn't start but rallies the whole country together against an antagonistic bully. Trudeau will get a 20 point bump in his approval ratings and go out a winner.

Prime Minister was just starting to answer questions, she’s speaking over him and pulled away to add her comment, wtf….. take a shut up pill.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you don't like trade war coming from Trump. Why then do you start a trade war with China by imposing 100% import tax on Chinese EV vehicles? Double standards? ?

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Finaly our prime minister stands for Canada and says straight and clear exactly how it is. This is disgusting, we knew from the start the drugs are just a lie and pretext of the clown to make us join or annex Canada but WE WILL NEVER NEVER GIVE UP !! 1

As a Korean, I stand for Canada and Mexico. Mr.Trump is messing up USA badly and treating USA alliances as an enemy. Through the trade war Mr.Trump started, many USA citizens will suffer economically and crash other economic market for the rest of world. I totally agree with Prime minister Trudeau.

From the Netherlands ,well spoken Prime Minister Trudeau , A rusian puppet in the White House , Your soldiers and the other allies liberated us from the Nazies 80 years ago ,we respected the US presidents from then on , but this Trump started floting due to lack of weight. Lets hope the Us peoples can solve this before it is to late. Tank you President Trudeau for speaking frankly the thruth.

Canadian here and our failed Prime Minister is a joke. Hopefully we can get someone with a brain soon. We need to start screening and sending ppl back on flights from the get go. We love and support the U.S. and most Canadians don’t support this. Trudeau is an idiot.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025.

Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

No matter who is the prime minister . We didn't started it and we are not taking laying down. I think this was good enough push back. If Trumpy comes for more Next thing should be the Removing EV tax credit just on Tesla. Invest in Eastern Canada pipeline and refineries , Bring crude or finished product to Montreal and start sending to Europe. Even with higher cost to refine heavy Alberta crude, we can still bring cheaper gas to Europe given that we sell our crude at 57USD to States and USA sells to Europe at 70. In today's rate Canadian finished product (With heavy refine + high transportation cost) in USA is 73USD per barrel as compared to WTI (with lower refine cost + lower transportation cost) is 82 USD. At 2024 exports levels you saved 14.1 Billion dollars per year + all refinery jobs and reason for it is the heavy discount we gave to you on crude oil. Facts tells me you are the free loader. Yeah we are small and gonna be in bad shape But this does not ends well for you too either.

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS INCOMPLETE REPORTING: The President of Colombia clearly said he would accept deportees IF they arrive on a passenger plane as has always been done and which costs less than half of the expense of a military plane. The problem is the United State’s insistence on using military planes. I swear folks, it’s just getting started: threatening to invade Panama, the closest ally in Latin America, threatening the prime minister of Denmark, a historic ally. Anyone remember Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland?

What next start burning the canadian flag and blowing things up ? The is a result of having a spineless clueless prime minister and his host of clown show ministers who have brought our country down and caused this mess !!!!!

Hell started the first day Trudiot became prime minister. (thanks to torontonians).

I'll add some context to our government. Prime minister harper who was an economics major I believe started saying no to the aboriginal peoples stopped catering to them. During the election it was a collective that all natives would vote ndp and the liberals were second last only behind the green party. Getting closer to the election Trudeau promised if elected to legalize marijuana and fund more efforts towards missing indigenous women ( that's a whole other story in itself). Trudeau won a majority government. They won't admit it but alot of blue collar people voted for Trudeau because of the legalization of weed. Fast forward immigration grew and new immigrants were strategically placed in certain cities and areas to vote for the liberals. The next election Trudeau lost the popular vote but won based on Canada's version of the electoral college. This time around I don't think he can win I've heard very very few people in this country say they want him so in a year things may get better or the damage is done.

Canada protects and breeds assholes starting from their Prime Minister.

Trudeau supports what he wants , no matter the effect it has on Canadians or would be Canadians. An election is coming up, he is the most hated Prime Minister in history. He must do something.\nIf you look at the big picture his ideology has done nothing positive and turned many people against each other. I have no problems with foreigners , but we can't give you what we no longer have. \nI truly think he started out and continued to cripple Canada , but in the end he has crippled Canadians and anyone that thought they would like to be Canadian. He has brought chaos to Canada by not vetting people ,by bringing groups in that at war in their own country. We can't take care of anyone else if we can't take care of ourselves

After all, the atrocities done by Indians is not forgivable. Instead of studying or doing something meaningful, these people especially sardars/gujratis without proper english start taking up native Canadian jobs like truck driving, delivery etc, why don't these guys stay in Punjab and do the same? Going to Canada doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want by demanding a free area/state like Khalistan and promoting illegal activities across the world.\n\nAs an Indian, I'm with Justin Trudeau, after as a Canadian prime minister, it is his responsibility to take care of his citizens. Enough is enough these people have to be deported if they don't have proper Visa/qualifications for the task they are up to. Hypocrisy at its peak, going to canada for doing crap and wasting the resources, time and money.

I've known people from 3rd world who came here and went back, because they thought this place was better, and discovered it was like every other hellhole. Pretty wrapper with rot underneath. Canada is no place to build happiness. It's a place to live in a daze, drowning in bills all life to end up lower than you started. In more of a dump with more desperate people. Impersonal, hostile, without an identity. Garbage country. I live here and it's everyday misery and pointlessness. Hollow life, hollow people. Complete meaninglessness. And a tyrant power tripping prime minister.

Canadians, please note that your country will soon become a haven for people of a certain gender.\nThe person mentioned is about to start a new trend. Wake up Canadians, your Prime Minister and\nhis staff are about to sell more rainbow flags.

The problem is prime minister ! 1st fix our problems before U start bringing useless emigrants ! Why my taxes instead going to housing, medical care, education, homelessness are going to support some 3rd world rejects !!???

I am watching this video from Canada and I have 4 words for you - “DO NOT COME HERE!!!” Everything that was mentioned in the video is absolutely true. Canada is facing many problems, unaffordable housing, broken healthcare systems, homeless people, drugs. I am always scared to walk in downtown at night when I’m returning from work. And the worst part is, you cannot even defend yourself here if a homeless person is attacking you. If you do that you will be prosecuted saying that why did you touch that homeless guy and it is a violation of human rights, which is stupid. So does that mean that we should just let a random homeless person kill us?? How does that make sense?? My friend who was having an asthma attack had to sit in the emergency room for 8 hours. If something would have happened, who would be responsible? And the list just goes on. And what does the Canadian prime minister do about that….? Let a guy be a girl and a girls become a guy? What does that even mean??? I have nothing against the LGBTQ people. That’s your life do whatever you want, I don’t care. But there are so many other issues going on in the country and the government is focusing on allowing people to change their genders !! \nAnd the worst part is that a portion of the tax we pay from our hard earned money goes to the homeless people. And what do they do? Buy drugs and start attacking random people. I really feel sorry for this country and the people of this country. \nI always respected my county, India but now I really feel that the sense of security, belongingness, our culture is amazing !!! \nIf anyone is planning to come to Canada for studies, please think again. And if you have already booked your flight, all the best….its going to be extremely tough.

As a canadain It is starting to get more and more like that in Canada for politics. They're either extremely to the right or extremely to the left. There's not too many times where you can have a genuine conversation about it as much anymore. But it doesn't help our prime minister is a goof

I actually like Saudi Arabia but when you say “hit back”\nIt is like saying prime minister told her a thing or two and I say NOT\nIsrael did nit start this war but I pray they end it.\nGive us back our American hostages that’s my “hit back”\nNative/Mexican Americans who support the idea of Arab countries helping Palestinians who by the way are Arab.

Hey Canadians, start looking at who is committing all the small and major crimes in your country!\nThank your prime minister....
