Discourse Analysis

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

How can this be good for America? I am not buying it. The tariffs I mean, the speech was excellent! :)

?? USA! Tariffs make money for the Gov. Makes businesses WANT to come to the US to avoid tariffs. And makes American made goods more affordable compared to the out sourced goods. ?? Good bye Canadian economy ?? ? ?

37T in US debt. We’ve been unfairly treated the past 60 years from unfair trades from the world and Trump was the only President to say “enough”. What’s fair when US pays tariffs on goods but we can’t charge other countries. Let’s make trades fair. No more charities to the world paid for by US taxpayers.

Canada only spends 1.3% of their GDP on defense because they depend on the US to protect them.. maybe they should contribute more to their defense or give some of the money that they do not spend on defense to the US

It's going to be a lot easier for other countries to boycott American good than for us to avoid buying tariffed imports because nothing is made here. We are SO fucked.

Good step by government Canadians first great news for Canadian kids having hard time to find jobs

I hate how many indians have infested our country, make cost of living skyrocket. Its not racist, its just straight facts.

This is not a trade war. This is recouping the money that other country's owe us. PAY WHAT YOU OWE OR PAY THE TARRIF. IT'S SIMPLE.WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COUNTRY

Always protect the culture of the place but Indians are also contributing to the economy higher than average per person

The tax cut is peanuts and it’s more than offset by increases in other taxes so we will actually pay more. Never trust a Liberal.

I just looked it up. Per capita Canada has a higher inflation rate and per capita Canada has more homeless people than America

You just don’t want to lose the billions of dollars we Americans give you yearly

Close the borders. Nobody seems to be employing canadians under 24 anymore

I for one would be happy to live in Canada and pay taxes to them instead of the US. Open your doors, Canada, and you will get people investing in your economy. Mass exodus.

If your country is so good stay ther it’s all students it’s a scam they get in to go to school and they stay you get a big cheaque a car a job and a home what about Canadians that are homeless they can’t get nothing because Thers no address and Thers no phone so how can you get money not all are drug addicts that are homeless wen you see a woman get out of her car with two kids take them to day care and go to work if you got a job and no shower no nothing this is wrong this poor lady it made me want to cry two kids mom and a car living like a vagrant because others from other country’s have the apts a nice home and we got shit

From Kentucky... These tariffs are a lose-lose situation all around for everyone. And.when you mess with my state's bourbon industry, Trump, then you'll be persona non grata here in the Bluegrass State.

Indians can't help it if you €₹@€ke₹$ are too lazy to work and keep their country functional. The reason business owners prefer hiring Indians we are simply better at doing the job, and don't act entitled. You want Canadians to keep jobs in Canada, simply work harder stop crying like a little bitch about everything and be a good employee. Or get of your arse and start a business. You are not unemployed because you are being discriminated against, you are simply being outcompeted by people willing to work harder. The harsh truth of life.

If significant numbers of people have not/do not pay taxes in Canada to support our health and welfare system then their use of those same systems weaken them for those who do. The weaken systems will start to fail and we’ll all be worse off unless, of course, we raise taxes or borrow more. How liberal is that!

As a tax paying Canadian rather see my taxes go here than Ukraine
