tenn our gas is 2.34 a gallon not bad

We have been subsidizing Canada for many years. Gotta pay your fair share.

Canada annual trade surplus with US $108 Billion\nWho is going to win a trade war? Not Canada.\nCanada average tariff on US imports 13.4%\nUS average tariff on Canada goods 1.8%\nWho has been taking advantage of who now?\nTop 3 countries tariffs on US imports:\nChina 17% Mexico 13.6% Canada 13.2%

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.

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?

If both sides are enforcing 25% tariffs \nSounds like fair trade to me!!

As an American im proud of trump standing up for us and no longer allowong us to get taken advantage of. Countries are mad that they have to pay more instead, of expecting us to pay for them. Too bad, so sad. Us paying part of everyones share HAS been hurting us. The other country will just feel the pain as well instea dof feeling peace as we pay their price.

As far as alcohol exports Canada exports over 600 million dollars to the us while the us exports 255 million to Canada. Both countries lose. But this does highlight the trade deficit between the two countries. 63 billion dollar trade deficit with canada is enormous. I don't know what the solution is, but i know this will be painful for all.

Tariffs don’t help Americans, maybe businesses and corporations but not us. Americans should travel to Australia and see what they could’ve bought and how cheap they are. Thank you government for banning some countries products and making their cheap prices outta reach for the average Americans. ?

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

Canada has imposed a 10% tariff on us for years, while America has only charged 2%. This behavior does not reflect a good neighborly relationship; rather, it appears to be another instance of taking advantage of American taxpayers. A significant portion, approximately 70%, of Canada's GDP is derived from products purchased by Americans; one might question the effectiveness of extortion in this context. It is time you reconsider, little Emperor.

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.

And you wonder why housing is so expensive... Its called supply and demand

Its all the rich and powerful that can exploit cheap labour that are in favour of immigration. Most Canadians cant find jobs, most of the average population is struggling, its unfortunate our government for the past decade has only been listening to the needs of the rich

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.

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

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

Each country slapping 25% tariff at each other SOUNDS FAIR. Nothing wrong with that. \n\nNOW let the consumers decide which to buy and let the manufacturer where to produce.

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.

She works in a retail store, we have Canadians that can do that.
