Threatening Trump and America won't benefit, table talk will help. Can Canada sustain in a real fight (economic) with the US?

i agree.. usa needs to ban all export products to canada.... and no imports from canada.... done deal....

Why did you legalize it , what a hypocrite \nAbsolute traitor of Canada with a list of policies that stretch far and wide like his money laundering

Canada,Mexico, Ukraine will no longer take advantage of the USA!! THANK YOU TRUMP!!

This USAF Veteran stands with Canada, Mexico, Europe & Ukraine!!\nWe stand with our friends, not dictators !

I am proud to be a Canadian. Our president’s speech very calm and kind, Even the most difficult time. Love Canada and very proud to be Canadian.

US doesn’t hit Canada with 25% tariffs. US hit US-importers with 25% tariffs that they will put on their American prices

Can me and my mom move to Canada i got a couple duis please let us in

Europe stands with Canada ??

This American stands with Canada!

Naturalized US citizen from California Standing with Canada!

Yo Trump's going to put 100% tears on your ass Canada you better chill playing games

If tariffs hurt the consumer,by passing the extra cost to the consumers,,,why Canada is doing the same to Canadian consumers????

This is how a president should speak to his people. He's direct, empathetic, speaks clearly, and with eye contact to every person and camera. Brava Canada ❤

Elbows up Canada! We will not be pushed around! The rest of the west is the best of the west. We need to decouple from this wannabe dictatorial regime and find true allies in Europe, Oceania and East Asia!

We in the EU should stand by Canada and offer whatever support is necessary, including financial grants if needed. We should also match Canada by imposing our own 25% tariffs on the same goods and services, acting as a force multiplier. If the ‘Mango Mussolini’ refuses to listen to reason, he must feel the consequences of these actions. Hang in there, Canada! You are an incredible tough people and while your country is mentally prepared for this trade war, the US have not given it a single thought… they will be surprised and the madman will fold

When are the Canadian borders open so I can move to Canada. I hate to say that I'm an American right now.

As a proud American I stand with Canada.

Canada should restrict the access to our water resources. .

We’re with you Canada!!! Thank you for saying the truth and standing for your country!!! \nEmbarrassed American here!!

Americans have families and relatives in Canada and vice versa so this is a dumb thing to do by Donald

Meanwhile TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL -\n\nPlease explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!\n\n????

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NOT TAKE NO INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ANY WAY OR FORM WITHOUT YOU ALL PAY FULL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR COMMENTS. FROM CANADA. AND WE DONT NEED TO COMMENTS OF SUPPORT IN ANY WAY OF FORM FROM NA OTHER COUNTRIES POLITICOS OR PRESIDENTES OR ANY LEADER . WE SUPPORT ARE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PERIOD. FK YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS OR ADVICE .MR. CANADA LEADERS.

I'd love to think enablers of the current US regime would understand the utter folly of its policies (to dignify them with a label they don't deserve), but I think that's unlikely. If they are religious fanatics, they will martyr themselves to sustain the usurpation of human rights so that their ideologies can remain in place. If they are self-serving oligarchs, they don't care; they've got plenty of money and are poised to make a lot more. If they are clueless, no amount of reason will reach them. The rest of us stand with Canada.

Well done Canada regards from Europe . KEEP CALM AND F. ... K THE ORANGE FROG

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

Thank you, President Trumpski, for uniting Canada to a level not seen since 1939, when we faced a different fascist.

If trump uses the military to attack the USAs closest Allie for over 100 years, what will you say then? I will not become an American citizen, I will not bow to trumpty dumpty. Canada’s not for sale! ?? ?

I'm American and I support Canada. Canada should shut the power off and shut Trump down.

Canada strong ???!

Bring it on Canada!

Montana stands with Canada and Ukraine...

Americans dont be surprised if your new bestie will be a dictator in the name of Putin! Please Canada no more massive discount on oil for America.

This will go bad for them. Canada can't afford retaliatory tariffs.

our president is a convicted felon and rapist who has been caught many times scamming people with fake online universities, failed casinos, failed charities...do what you need to do Canada, we understand, our president is insane.

Mother fic punjandi destroyed canada ?

So, in what areas is Australia different to Canada?\nAnd, can someone please explain to me the determinant nature of any person in moving the dial on GDP. I get the part of GDP per person; I don’t get the part about an individual. It seems to me that organisations and bureaucracies are the key drivers of efficiency and productivity. I’m not a economist, as demonstrated

I'm convinced that Canada has been grossly mismanaged for decades, and will likely continue to be.

The property taxes or any taxes in Canada are basically flat, Person with 1 home or a tiny home pays property tax, people with mansions and multiple homes also pay a similar rate, and corporations who own hundreds of properties pay almost no tax. Rental income should be a side gig, not your main income. Income tax starts at minimum wage, which is insane, and grows until the upper middle class but after that, people can just get paid in stocks which are not taxed. Canada needs Asset taxes, you can't just sit on a pile of wealth and retire young, you gotta work for your money, otherwise your country will have nothing.

The Federal Liberal party completely destroyed any hope for the youth in Canada to live a productive life in under 10 years.

“Fk the youth” - Liberal Party of Canada

Why would people in canada work harder when it does them no good anymore?

Everyone in Canada looks to the government to solve their problems. This will never change.

Canada and Mexico should both join BRICS to protect themselves away from American!

Canada could reduce fraud in its science funding agencies such as NSERC

Canada is going to lose its closest ally after they get kicked out of the 5 eyes due to being compromised by the CCP and triads.

One big problem Canada has, is USA. Canada is better to be in if you aren't established, poor people do not suffer as badly as those in the usa who have no money. But if you are established, living in USA is better, you pay less taxes, and you make more money on average, and you have more access to a larger market, so what people do is use Canada to become established, then leave. And because USA is just a hop skip n jump, its easier than if you were to move over seas.

Im going to be fully honest. Trump usually ends up saying something completely stupid and absurd at the time, but in the future there ends up being some truth to it. It's like he can see the future or something. So imagine if Canada gets so bad, that some Canadian provinces secede from Canada and join the US. ?

Students got their visas agreeing to bear the full cost of college showing proof of financial sources from home. Canadian government NEVER ever indicated it will help. In fact Canadian government has been too generous and linient in looking the other way when minimally qualified students flooded unknown colleges and schools and not exactly following the rules. They can flock to UK or Australia but thise governments are not blind to what has been happening in Canada and will likely impose similar restrictions.

You should be more concerned with median income or statistics that omit the top 1% as that is the reality the vast majority are living. In 2021, Canada was top 5 in the world in median disposable income. Finally, the US’s financial services and healthcare are big contributors to the US GDP while both have their problems (financial services don’t make the lives of the general public any better and US healthcare is incredibly inefficient). So, comparing the GDP of these countries is not a fair comparison.
