Discourse Analysis

Who are actually benefiting from this? US consumers are gonna pay more for goods, the exporters seem worried about it. Only Trump seems excited about it and the rich people probably don't care.

Picking a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and major economics is a very bad idea. It will not bring anybody to the negotiation table to get a better deal. It will drive them away from US partnership and they form alliances, new trade routes and partnerships, de-dollarization, etc. Just think why does a country needs USD when they cannot trade with US. BRICS have overtaken G7 in the overall GDP. So, In the end, US will be left alone with limited trading partners. US people will need to pay for tax + tariffs which will put them in a downward spiral.

I just hope president Trump is able to put tariff like penalty on American companies that are outsourcing jobs and leaving American job less. Take a good look at ANY companies career page, and has a software job requirement. 90% of ALL tech jobs are being outsourced to India, it's just getting ridiculous!

Most Canadians are not against immigration. We just took too many immigrants in there wasn’t enough places for them to live. It wasn’t fair to them or the people living here. Things had to change. It’s not that we don’t want people coming. It’s just that we have no housing housing has to increase by millions of unitsand we were in the process of doing that right now.

She didn't work in her field for 1 1/2 year as a new migrant. TELL US. How long should we pay for immigrants to live and not work for. She's saying 1.5 years is not enough. So we have to feed them for 5-10 years before they contribute? I WANT PAID VACATION IN HAWAII TOO WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED. Why am I not getting it? I've never spent 1.5 years not working and I'm 38 years old. WTH

This is going to get expensive for Americans.

The threat to “not buy USA made” is hilarious. 70% of our GDP is consumer spending. We don’t make things, we BUY things. Losing a customer like the US is very bad for business.

Atleast now, they opened their EYES🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄......no affordable homes, high rents, high grocery cost, unemployment, poor emergency medical, even over crowded universities, closing factories due to tariffs......Everything on tipping point😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

This is the system: Student immigrates to Canada on a student Visa, gets a Diploma which they use to get a Post-Graduation Work Permit, this is used to get Permanent Residence (PR). After 3 years apply for Citizenship, which makes it easier to bring their parents into Canada. Those parents apply for PR, then wait 3 years, after which they can also apply for Citizenship. If they are 55+ years old, they don't need to take the test or prove they can speak the English. They just apply and get become Citizens. All of this while enjoying the benefits of a Socialized Healthcare, Old Age Pension after 65+, Canada Child Benefit paid to parents with kids under 18, and more. This is not a sustainable economic model, we WILL run out of money. Technically we already have 😂

Tim Hortons hires almost exclusively Indian workers on a Temporary Foreign Worker visa. Which is just a way to scam Canadians out of jobs in Canada

If these companies can’t find workers, then why is our unemployment rate so high in 16 years?! It’s because they want cheap labour than to pay proper wages to a Canadian. If they up the pay, many unemployed would come forsure but not when paying peanuts

America can't sustain a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada at the same time. Our inflation will soar and our economy will tank.

Yep it's going to be interesting \nAs I work for an international Automotive injection molding company based here in the US\nWe import Raw materials from Europe and China plus within the US and who knows where these materials come from.\nBut we also export finished products and materials to Europe, China, Canada, Mexico just to name afew.\nThat is a lot of tariffs placed on these products and that doesn't include tax, cost of labor, manufacturing costs\ngoing to be interesting what the future holds

AI:\nIn the short term, tariffs may bring some economic and political benefits to the U.S. However, in the long run, they could lead to higher prices, job losses in export industries, and deteriorating relations with an important trading partner. Economists, including Nobel laureates such as Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz, have traditionally criticized protectionist measures for their harmful effects on the economy in the long term.

So canadian businesses now have to pay more for american products. Trump dropped business tax to help american businesses. Canadian businesses need that too.

Taking an economics class right now. It's true that the single and only result of tariffs is government revenue at the cost of citizens of both involved countries. Both countries, not one.

There was not a need to import workers in mass there was a need to raise wages. Mass Immigration is causing massive wage stagnation.

As a cross border truck driver… these tariffs are gonna destroy North America as a whole Canada and the US are reliant on each other

They do pay taxes.

US gets 50% of Canada's natural gas production and $100B+ of crude oil from Canada - all US consumers will be stuck with the price increases... don't matter if you are red or blue.
