You forgot to mention that the USA subsidize your country with billions of dollars a year and we need to stop it at once.

You $300 billion in subsidy from USA for free. Gove that back if you don't want it and back pay for every year you took the subsidy

So trumps agenda is NO WAR! Is that a problem?? Zelensky was here and then flew back to sign the agreement the Dems had a meeting to stop him, then went in with an attitude, you have the ocean to protect you now but maybe not one day! Is that a THREAT! We have you 177 billion, same gdp as all of Europe they gave 18 billion, so stay with them and the USA is done! How disrespectful! The Dems want war, it makes the politicians tons of money

We expanded nato and spent billions and trillions making everybody else rich. You are brainwashed to think otherwise

ooooooo 150 billion worth of goods. The US is shaking rn hahahahaha

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

Australia and I am sure the other 1.2 billion people of the commonwealth stands with Canada

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

US GDP is around 30 trillion. This 180 billion is literally nothing.. also, it’s on the CANADIAN payer. Lmao it doesn’t even touch American consumers. It’s like saying “you stepped on my toe, watch me step on my other toe to spite you.”

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.

Trump paid out billions his last term due to his tariffs. Farmers and Ranchers will go belly up real quick if he doesn't bail them out once again. Trump cares about putin and musk, and his billionaire friends.

This is happening. Today while grocery shopping I put at least ten dollars worth of American products back on the shelf after reading the fine print of origin. One million Canadians doing this just once today....that's a ten million dollar expression of how fed up with your self mindedness, self agrandising and beligerance towards us. Thirty millions of Canadians doing this for a full month is a hit in the billions. WE ARE DONE WITH YOU!

This is III world War, economic one and he has started by a lunatic man.... China I'll be more power than never..... Don't forget China ownes billions of external debt from USA. Trump you are a criminal, the history will put in the right place.....

This is what you call a nothing burger ? this is all Trudeau's fault why Canada ?? is in this situation, he had 9 years to fix the borders, build the pipe lines making Canada independent and self sufficient instead he has done absolutely nothing but spend our tax dollars carelessly by putting Canada 68 billion dollars in the hole, folks don't be fooled, remember there's always 2 sides to a story but nobody wants to have that conversation, it's easy to point the finger at everybody else but blame the man in mirror.

Even before now less than 1% of fentanyl came across the Canadian border. Canada has had a trade imbalance with us in our favor. Canada last year had already agreed to beef up border security by $1.3 billion. Canadian troops have fought alongside US troops in several wars. As recently as a few weeks ago Canadian firefighters were helping put out fires in the US. Dumbest tariffs doesn't begin to describe it.

The United States supplements Canada with billions of dollars a year.\nThey about to get cut off!! ??????

Well now he'll have plenty of money to sponsor zelynsky since Canada only gave them 12 billion so far

We Canadians are suckers if we're giving billions more to Ukraine. Trudeau needs to go now. As for the tariff, I think we need to strike back hard, and continue the boycott of US goods. If we could, would be great do cut off all energy going to the States, but thanks to Trudeau, we don't have cross country pipelines to do that. BTW, Canada is not responsible for what comes into your country, we're responsible to keep things out we don't want in. That's the way these things are supposed to work, we're not East Berlin.

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.

Remove the $1.3 billion that it was committed to border control, build fentanyl labs and send to the US. Then negotiate with Trump again

2 hours ago — The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent on Monday after President Trump doubled down on plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico .\n2 days ago — More than 885,000 crypto wallets have lost money on trading $TRUMP, while 301,000 have lost money in betting on $MELANIA\nFeb 17, 2025 — Trump Media says it lost more than $400 million last year while revenue dropped 12%. \nNov 23, 2022 — Donald Trump reported nearly $1 billion in operating losses over a two-year period about a decade ago. . . . and the list goes on

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a press conference Tuesday. \n \nSpeaking from Ottawa, Trudeau said there was “absolutely no justification or need whatsoever” for the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, which went into effect today. \n \nThe prime minister explained that $30 billion worth of US goods would see tariffs immediately, while the remaining $125 billion worth of goods would see tariffs in 21 days. \n \nTrudeau added that Canada will file claims at the World Trade Organization, but in the meantime, “our tariffs will remain in place until the US tariffs are withdrawn and not a moment sooner.” \n \nThe prime minister also again hit back against US assertions about Canada being unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. \n \nHe said the legal pretext Trump presented for the justification of the tariffs —“that Canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl” — is “totally false.”

Oh, the solution is pretty simple, as is the reverse of tariffs. Most of Canadians savings are poured directly or through investment funds into Wall Street to increase US investment. The main export of US is bonds and stocks. Let the Canadian government introduce a tax on any investment on its residents on any asset in US currency or us denominated. Immediately billions and billions of dollars ( CAD ) would return into the country. Too bad for US treasury bonds and stocks.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

Criminal Illegal Aliens. Not 'migrants'. Victims of police brutality are getting compensated in millions. \nSo why not apply the same approach to crimes committed by illegals?\nLet's keep the DIMS busy this year. \nVictims of crimes committed by Illegal criminal Aliens living in the U.S \nshould file a $50 billion class-action lawsuit against agencies at all \ngovernment levels for failure to enforce existing laws. \nProactively seek legal advice and engage in wholesale activism on the political front

My family has lived in Canada for several generations. My grandpa moved here from Italy and he started a large masonry company and become successful. But as a college student, I'm the 5% minority. Everyone else is from the third world, especially India and China. Our culture has been completely destroyed and replaced. Plus tens of Billions of dollars is being donated to them, and the aboriginals to fund their drugs and alcohol. There's thousands of very high homeless people wondering the streets, all funded through welfare. The cost of living has sky rocketed. I am moving the the U.S. I want to be with my own people! Multiculturalism has failed!

And our PM is giving away billions to other countries ?

YET NOTHING BUT BILLIONS PUT INTO ISRAELS POCKETS BY THE NIGHTY ARABS!

Over the last 4 years Quatar donated over 24 BILLION to top North American Universities to ensure they get their Islamist students a student visa and enrollment. So they can have many Islamists to OUTBREED us as they have been instructed to do.

Thank you Homan and Trump along with ICE and the Border Patrol. The Democrats are aiding and abetting the criminal element. They also don't want the population from finding out all those billions of waste money and complain because they have been using agencies like USAID to enrich themselves.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.

Last year, Walmart Canada reported gross revenue of $6 billion, up 1.8% from the previous year. \n \n In 2022, Home Depot brought in approximately 12 billion Canadian dollars of sales. \n \n Costco In Canada and through its international ventures the company generated 34.9 billion and 35.3 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. \n \n you get the point. \n \nThis is scary \n \nA foreign company in Canada does not have a specific time frame to keep its profits in a Canadian bank; however, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), most business records, including profits, must be kept for a minimum of six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. \n \nKey points to remember: \n \nNo legal restriction on withdrawal: \n \nThere is no law that forces a foreign company to keep its profits in Canada for a specific duration. \n \nThis is just a few of the companies from the US that take $100 billion+ out of our economy every year and put it in US banks. why do we let them. they should keep that money in canada. interest rates for loans would go down. \n \n \nAI Overview from google \n \nWhen banks have more money, interest rates tend to go down. This is because a larger money supply increases the amount of credit available, which lowers the cost of borrowing.

It’s not Canada job to check on people going from it territory to the us, if you leave the us to Canada, it’s the responsibility of the Canadian borders patrol to know who they are ect..During the 60’s, Fidel Castro Ruz said to the Canadians: what they’re doing to us, they are doing to you to. Did the Canadians understood, like my infant daughter had habit to : I nen know. Today, in Quebec, Ontario, the factoriy buildings are still up but inside completely empty. After the implode of the Soviet Union as the only rooster on the block, they asked most of the countries around the world to shut down theirs raffineries, in Alberta Canada there is one in Balzac, nobody today knows it existence. The us produce light crude and theirs raffineries are built for heavy one, the reason they need oil from the outside and they pay very cheap for it, like Canada got 7 dollars/ barrel, not too long ago, today, I think it’s $ 16.00. To extract the oil from the sand, that cost a lot of money and the pollution level dios mios. They care, good luck. In Africa, with theirs vassals, they organize coups after coup, according to voster, i think, an Africa with the Africans is earth paradise, now they started to ask them to leave, they don’t need them. The canadian company barrick of Toronto just paid something around $480 billions, the ceo had a warrant arrest after his a… the australian one of resolute was in jail and paid what they owed, all of them are a bunch of thieves. They better be careful with the chineses but they are still long time better than any country the collective West. Like I said it, since the beginning of the 2000, the us and the remaining of the g7 will be at each other throat, GOOD.?

PM Trudeau worked with the Biden government and announced on December 17, 2024 to add $1.3Billion to border security. This way before the Trump administration. Stop spreading misinformation.

How does the NYC tourism industry react to the effect of its government aiding and abetting coyote crime syndicates-in smuggling in illegals -then spending billions of their tax dollars on their services? Not to mention the insane theft of businesses and the fact that NY changed their laws to allow it without punishment? Americans are NUTS

Check the busses ? also india won the war if worlds. They are a billion of them

fair warning: There are 1 billion more migrants from India waiting to get in.

One billion of vasectomies could have been done since 1980 and all these problems should not exist .

1.4 billion in India, multi millions in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, UK and Europe. No more visas. Enough already. Same as China. Too many, unskilled, uneducated and unwilling to improve.

And it seems they dont give a shit who comes to that hell hold Canada and so some odd reason we give your sorry asses 200 billion a year for what. Ckose your own borders.

The illegal immigrants just need to find where Selena Gomez’s home is to live the high life for free, well she does have a net worth off over $1.3 billion for just a girl?

We demand a refund for the billions spent on this illegal invasion

Billions of taxpayer funds spent on the illegal invasion! Why? Democraps buying future voters! Because we don’t want these Dems in our government

There are BILLIONS of ppl who in Africa, South America and Islam multiplied one thousand times in 100 yrs. They will not stop rapidly recklessly multiplying and of course, high numbers of kids per adult, esp abandoned mothers, creates poverty. Even if they make it to adulthood on hand outs stolen from your tax dollars they cannot possibly keep up with infrastructure, housing, sanitation, education, roads etc for an exploding population. You cannot possibly keep up with their needs. Then they blame us for causing their poverty when ctually it's their own fault and these smears are propaganda to justify invading us, robbing us of our jobs, driving housing prices sky high and stealing our ID's, posing as us, and getting jobs they use to deny us survival in govt, banks, medical, housing, HR etc. YES THEY ARE> It's very obvious. They get a stolen passport then change the name, photo, reissue it and voila. They have their own corrupt people in position to do it on the back end. It's already been exposed in the UK for many years. It's a global program, carefully coordinated. And people in the inside are helping them led by foreign men in dresses. YES THEY ARE. The pope wants this. The Vatican has sworn to destroy democracy for as long as it's existed. That's a fact. There's zero liberty, votes, free speech in the Bible. ZERO. Read it again. Jesus rules with an iron rod over a global slave world in the end of the Bible after all the groomers promises. Seditious treason is a very serious crime. Acting to disassemble law and order in our world is TREASON. IDGAF if you think you are doing it for your god. Go to a country that wants a king who vows to slave you...not our democracy.

CBC in Canada makes $1.8billion per yr paid for by Canadian Gov, using taxpayer money, and $500k in ad revenue, and now the Gov is going to give CBC another $1billion in taxpayer $ per yr. WHAT network needs $2.5 BILLION in taxpayer $ per yr, purely to promote Government propaganda!?\nWelcome to the lies of Canadian Gov and the loss of free speech in Canada

Don't you know that all the legal wealthiest people in the world that live in New York City that's having to leave their apartment buildings that costed a millions of dollars and the ones who owned buildings that rent it out and now they're losing their wealthy tenants don't you know that these affluent people hate with everything that hate can hate with they hate the politicians of New York that helped accommodate the lunatic lunacy of open borders they hated that these politicians agreed to have a sanctuary City and put their peace and safety in Jeopardy they hate those politicians and will use their wealthy billions of dollars to make sure they never get reelected again

The Roxham road crossing in Quebec isn't even manned. People just walk across back and forth. But Canada's illustrious leader is going to put billions into a new train, but not a penny into border protection. Then they cry the blues because of repercussions from Trump.

8 billion people in the world and almost all of them want to come to the US ?

Imagine if the hundreds of billions sent to Ukraine, and all the other crazy places was spent on making these places stable and prosperous, then people would not want to leave home, or spent on border control, health, education and anti corruption.
