Canadians, you do understand that anything american we buy will be 25% more expensive, right? Not because of Trump, but because of Trudeau. You apply tariffs on what you import, not export.

The problem I have is you let a totally different culture get to go to your country and roll out the red carpet with free housing, food stamps etc while your citizens struggle to get by. It’s a slap in the face

SLASHED!!! From 395,000 new wards of the state to 380,000, all paid for by "middle class" taxpayers, who increasingly aren't. Canada is cooked.

So we paid to bring g them here. Then paid to house and feed them. Now we are paying to send them home. This is moronic.

Would be wonderful if true. The illegals cost more if let in the country. I'm all for my tax money to be spent on removing them from the country.

If immigration is judged by contribution, Indian immigrants are objectively a net positive, unlike other groups such as Somalians, Afghans etc. Indians, they work, pay taxes, and are overrepresented in high skill fields like engineering, medicine, and tech. Silicon Valley runs on Indian talent, founders, CEOs, and engineers. Remove Indian immigrants and the U.S. tech sector would take a massive hit. That’s not opinion, that’s reality.
Argues Indian immigrants are economically beneficial through employment, taxes, and high-skill contributions, while implicitly contrasting with other immigrant groups.

I live in cape Breton Island in canwda and I can remember renting a 3 bedroom house for 500 a mont now a one bedroom apartment is 800 a month, u can't find houses/apartments anymore because of all the foreign peopl they brought in. Trying to get a job is also retarded because they higher the foreign people first because the government pays so much of their salary , I just wish they'd all go back the fuck from where they came from easy as that

Our imports from Canada are like 1% of our GDP, our exports to Canada are close to 20% of Canada’s GDP. Pretty sure the US will be okay.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.
Extensive discussion of trade deficits, tariffs, debt accumulation, and economic impact on both countries; critiques current trade policy through economic data.
