Enjoy having to take a loan out against your house to buy eggs, American bozos.

Americans buy American made products; simple.

Had a very good run at Costco today March 4. Bought all local, Canadian, Chinese and Moroccan products. - Not a single American made product. Since American want to buy American so badly, the stores can return American stuff back to the USA.

Trump should know that retaliation from Canada and China and Mexico brings down USA to its knees, From now on I don’t buy any American products as a Canadian, Whole Canadian are united behind their government in this matter.

Buy American...it's easy

and he chose to do the same to Canadians......... its better for CANADA to buy american good without tariffs, don't hurt the Canadian economy like Trump does to his people

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Come on the rest of the decent world we can make a stand against the USA. Don’t buy Tesla. Don’t buy Ford. Don’t buy Nike. Don’t buy Apple. Buy Samsung, Adidas. French & German cars. Buy beers & wine from many countries & not the USA. Then with finances try to avoid American banks & credit card companies & shares. Even at a basic level we can all make a difference. Our governments all need to make a difference & trade more with each other rather than the USA it will be tough & take a while but we can break away from this hideous nation & need to do so asap.

American here… I’m standing with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, Mexico, and any other country affected by this senseless trade war. I do not stand with Russia. Perhaps, and maybe MAGA worshippers will see the light when they can’t afford to buy a house. I didn’t vote for “the orange” and not all of us are brainwashed. ??‍♀️

Can hardly wait until Canada bankrupts the USA. Cut all trade with a war mongering nation, Canadians stand strong and free, we will prevail against the likes of Trump, Vance and musk who was never elected to office. Ontario just canceled starlinks, we don’t buy American products, the best thing is to shut our borders to American citizens and trade period. Just wait and see USA what we do!

Let Americans pay higher prices for everything. Don't sell them any oil either, make them buy from Saudi or produce more on their own. Hell, even shut down the USCBP posts in major canadian airports. So travellers and tourists have to clear customs on American land, not in Canada.

What does Canada need us to buy do. We can boycott American goods but where can we buy Canadian? From UK

Trump and his financial masters are knowingly tanking the American economy in order to lower stock prices so the $Billionaires/£Millionaires can buy those stocks and make even BIGGER profits for themselves while everyone suffers. It's like the J.D. Rockefeller family on steroids x 10. There is a NEW WORLD order coming and it's being orchestrated by the Government.

Canada -- Congratulations to you for not supporting Putin's puppy. Trump's damned fool supporters deserve the results of their meanness and boundless stupidity. Too bad farmers, Cubans, anti-immigrant racists, holy rollers, misogynists, and fools. You go, Trudeau. Trump cannot be trusted in any way. Born damaged. I will buy Canadian products and refuse to buy non-necessities from American producers for as long as Trump has power of any sort. Trump is working for Russia and the Republicans are helping him. I don't forget those who attack my family. TRUMP WORKS FOR RUSSIA.

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

A very well thought out and eloquent rebuke there, nicely done. To our Canadian cousin's, i too went to the store yesterday and refused to buy American products, i shan't until this idiocy finishes. Perhaps Canada should assign itself with Europe. \nRegards\nA UK resident.

Whoever buy American car after March 4th should be interrogated and questioned about his loyalty and even his citizenship!

Americans Elon musk is your leader did you vote for ? I'm pride Canadian iwill not buy American product

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

Is the play that all of the Uber rich are going to buy everything in the market and then trump will lift the tariffs and the super rich including Donald all make even more money. \nAdditionally, if all the farmers lose their land, the new American oligarchs will just buy up the land.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

As an American, makes one want to move to Canada! To be governed by someone that runs the country with sensibility.\n\nI will do my part and buy MORE Canadian syrup! It's Delicious!!

Canada must not be cooperating. If they were Trump would not have imposed the tariffs. As an American I support our President. I’ve researched imports from Canada and I don’t buy any of them.

Does he mention any about the current tariffs on American products. Here he’s talking about their efforts to comb drugs…after YEARS of doing the minimum efforts to combat the drug flow into the US…. He’s deflecting…\n\nAnd idiots will buy his sales pitch….

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

What are you talking aboot eh buddy! We can buy American. You clearly don't know what is going on and just what a new Golden Age means. ???

Trudeau is using liberal talking points and fear mongering, as an AMERICAN I stick with my President…. It’s just talking points, but of course we have those who will buy into all the bs he’s spewing, he’s no better than a progressive liberal.

Aussie supporting Canada; No way will i travel to America while this Administration is in power, no way will i buy American goods while this administration is in power.

Trump is a disaster for the U.S., for Canada, Ukraine and almost everyone else...except maybe Russia, China and Belarus. \nI, as an American, will buy anything I can that is made in Canada.\n\nMy fellow Americans: take not of how an intelligent, well informed, honest leader sounds like on the world stage. Compare this to how Trump sounds. Let's wake up.

Why impose tariffs? Canadians don't buy American goods anymore. That's way more effective than imposing tariffs.

Tariffs should be 100% equal between trading partners. In Japan, the tariff on a new American car can be up to 100% of the cost of the car just to buy it. (Why is a question for the shoppers) this is simply wrong AMONG TRADING PARTNERS…. Trump is doing some of his TYPICALLY STUPID MOVES.

I hope Con man Chump and his Maga gang will step up and buy all of the CORN ..SOYA BEAN ..WHEAT..AND CHICKEN THAT CHINA PUT TARIFF ON.last time this happens CHINA end up buying all those products from Brazil that leaves American farmers getting hands out from chump..

My skepticism tells me that Trump is doing this so that US American companies will crash, and his rich buddies will buy the lower price stocks. Buy them out. \n\nI could be wrong, but he has proven to us that he cares nothing about others, only himself and his wallet. It’s sick! But I don’t blame Trump anymore. I blame his supporters.

Screw you Canada how about we buy American your country needs us far more than we need you and all you had to do was show that you cared about the border.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

As an American, from Chile ?? because it is a continent and not a country ( the arrogance and ignorance is tiring) I hope they leave USA and buy stuff over here ?❤ Abrazos a nuestros hermanos Mexicanos

Buy American all day every day.\nNot that hard.\nSupport American workers, buy made in the USA and American Agriculture.

I am American and I support Trump and 100% trade war .....Trudeau is Lying ....nobody is Hurting America !!!!! We will buy from USA not CANADA and your tariffs are higher for USA than ours were for ages...~!!!!!!!!! You are dumping stuff to USA with high tariffs for a long Time~!!!

As an American... I have not spoken to a SINGLE person from my country who wants ANY part of this trade war... Or any other type of animosity with Canada. We love Canada.\n\nTrump is just trying to cause chaos and nonsense headlines on an hourly basis in order to distract from the fact that they are looting the treasury. His administration is literally set on siphoning every dollar of taxpayer money they can het their hands on. Nothing could be more obvious...\n\nJust yesterday they announced their plan to buy 5% of all crypto with our tax dollars. Because apparently rugpulling his own voters twice was not enough. He wants to rugpull the entire nation. Just like the Clinton's did to Detroit. But for the entire country. Because we have become asleep at the wheel. And will do nothing besides complain about it on Twitter. Ironic coincidence, no?

Canada doesn’t need to put the tariffs on USA products because Canadians have wijzend up and refuse to buy American things.

Lost American jobs caint pay mortgages caint buy food lost homes cars can't afford insurance payments feed your families America has been hoodwinked and bamboozled by Trump this is a nightmare

Buy American!

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

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.

Canadians, I will not buy any American products. Love and support to you from Australia ❤

Alberta, Canada: I just returned from shopping and I am happy to say that I managed to spend CAD $450 on groceries without spending a single cent on American products! I buy a lot of organic items and many of them come from California. But putting in the time today at the store and reading labels, I realized that there is a Canadian/Mexican/European equivalent for everything I need ; )

Do not buy esso gas in canada. ESSO IS AMERICAN.
