Canada Vs USA. I bet USA wins, any takers?

It will be okay, years from now Canada will be exporting to its biggest market: Haiti.

Look out for trading more with europe. The free trading agreement with europe is in place. Canada already signed contracts to deliver hydrogenium to europe.\nReview the old CETA papers with EU and join the single market!

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Send theme to Canada

I hope Canada follows through with their tariffs. We need to hit those who voted and aided trump - it’s the only language they will understand! Yes, Musk will sue Canada, he’s such a wimp, but trump/musk started this fight!

Anti-trump American here. I hope I speak for the tens of millions of Americans that absolutely DO NOT accept this activity. Trump’s actions are pointless, harmful, dangerous and unacceptable, especially to our allied neighbors. If Canada and Mexico have to retaliate I do not blame them. I cannot believe this is happening ?

Trump is just starting.....likely that it will increse further! Justin is very tough now and he will be so until his last day in office.......Canada must fight back to be the 51st state of US........???

I see some serious cope in comments. Mexico and Canada playing chicken with the US is how we get chicken nuggets.

The US has been running a trade deficit with Mexico, China, and Canada for almost two decades now—Canada only makes up 6% of all US imports while the US makes up 63% of all Canadian imports.\n\nCanada will have to find more trade partners besides the US if it doesn't want its consumers paying 25% more for US goods, most of which are mechanical machinery, automotive parts and vehicles, minerals, medical equipment, energy products, and consumer goods.

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

I just ran the numbers, Canada exports roughly 19% of their GDP to the U.S.A. the U.S.A. exports roughly 1.3% of their GDP to Canada. I don't think Canada wins.

Canada has been ripping off the U.S. for years. Don't mess with the Don.

First of all, Trudeau is not a man of the situation. He will be kicked out in weeks. Canada has plenty of natural resources, minerals and energy. We Canadians will survive.

Canada should impose a 100% tariff.

Canada will be crawling back, rest assured.

It’s time for Canada and Mexico and China trade with each other and exclude USA.

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

I guess Canada does not want to secure their border

Hahaha Canada is going to fold…their economy cannot stand the tariffs more than 6 to 8 days. The US can in house or import everything from other countries. Canada doesn’t have the luxury…the US protects the moment of their goods. \n\nBtw Germany…the US protects the moment of your goods as well…don’t test the US.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

Canada should work together with the US. Otherwise, it will not be able to handle any risk from enemies.

Could Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan all get together and have a talk with Uncle Sam? I think we need an intervention at this point. Help!

Tariffs made the depression so much worse and longer than it had to be. 1932 all over again. We never learn from the past. Canada should cut power to the northeast ASAP.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Good luck Canada ?

SUPPORT CANADA ?? ❤️. BEST NATION. WE WON'T BREAK. WE WILL ALWAYS PROGRESS.

Canadian here while I support what the PM is doing, I don’t think a tit for tat solution is enough. Canada needs to look for other trading partners like China. Let’s have a free trade agreement with them and rip up USMCA. That’ll fix the trade deficit overnight. Similar thing for military we can save the Pentagon billions by leaving NORAD and NATO and building a strategic joint defence agreement with China.

The peaceful president, now Marcos Rubio going to Panama to negotiate for the Canal of Panama, going after Greenland, war tariffs with Mexico, Canada and China.

Russia has proven it can live without America well over 1700 sanctions and still going! Canada can too!

I’m an American and I like how Canada claps back at the orange clown.?

Canada is more concerned with lilling 400 ostriches

Canada's economy is already on the decline. Trump picked the right time to hammer Canada as it has never been so divided after 10 years of inept governance by a totally inept woke Marxist government led by Trudeau.

Trudeau (canada) has been with EU since taking office!!! and treats Americans Like is a milk cow as much like EU!!! ;))

What did Canada do wrong? Did trump want them to build a border wall to keep Americans from immigrating to Canada illegally?

How did she travel the world. I'm 61 now and made ok money but worked 12 -16 hrs per day 6 days per week. I could never afford to travel other than camping in Canada, BC. ,1 trip to Mexico and 1 trip to Hawaii. I did spend 80% of my money toward a house for the last 35 years. I guess we all determine our own destiny.

By the way in the USA you pay taxes a lot to. Its very similar to Canada ?? when it comes to work and taxes

We owe them nothing, it is OUR right to send them back. They are the reason that there is a housing crises in Canada, overloading at food banks. You are a guest in this county and do not have any rights to tell us Canadians what to do , just leave and there will be no problems.

Because ur country politicians f..ked Canada by dilution

That’s why, I left Canada in 2018. No disrespect to Indians, but if want to live among Indians, I would rather go straight to India and enjoy good weather, rather than going to cold Canada.

May be because, they were not Khalistani terroridts. Canada and the UK want only terrorists, rap*sts etc in their countries.

80 percent of Canadian people complaining about immigrants in Canada ,had grandparents that immigrated 60 years ago?

No need to make up a story about how cold it gets in Canada. It's nowhere near what you think and indicated like as if you were trying to chase people away from there. Get it right, don't just make up whatever you're trying to do to chase people away and then you pump up the good ol USA. Your narrator is exaggerating along with his wavering voice up and down on who's best.

You could say because of mass Indian migration in Canada (both Hindu and Sikhs) they also brought with them their domestic rivalry in Canada and that soured everything up.

Sardarji Bharat ka log Canada ma Jana chahta hai india me kam ke Kami nhi ha log Canada ake Jadu potha kar laga india ma nhi karanga

They will find it unaffordable here just as those of us born in Canada do. They will be heavily taxed and struggle with their Walmart and Tim Horton's jobs to save enough for a down payment on a house that is only a small bungalow, yet costs half a million dollars. Maybe they haven't realized it's not all that great living in Canada.

How dare Canada deny undocumented immigrants entry into Canada and separate families!

People will fight back. The more you block them off, the stronger the resistance becomes. What do you do now? It looks like things were better when there was some form of controlled flow of immigrants than this utter chaos. Even if I want to think that this invasion is not okay, it was the US who invaded all their ancestral lands first. Mexico used to be all the way to California extending to Texas. Now, US wants to annex Canada and Greenland.

Indian,indonasian ,vietnam,thailand, philippines ultra cheap exports to\n u s a has been tripilled this shows if colombia ,Mexico,canada goes to hell no matters usa ?? some how canada ,Mexico,Columbian products price is much higher than indian products so india global south is better \nUsa ?? had alternatives baby
