Discourse Analysis

Trudeau should be our next Prime Minister...!!! ?\nOur economies are so inter-twined because it WORKS! So many American companies have set-up plants in Canada in order to profit from doing business here. It's not just products that we MUTUALLY benefit from selling to each other, the US generates significant profits from its many operations in Canada, and those $Billions of dollars in profits that go back to American Investors is not included in the 'Trade Imbalance' that is a justification for the tariffs. With those profits included, I'd bet Canada is the nation with the imbalance not in its favor...

Americans will now stop buying Canadian Goods because there is already pressure on groceries, also, products from countries like Australia and Europe will now come flooding into the USA.

Perhaps it is time for USA citizens to sell their Canadian residential real estate.

Is this guy for real? Doesn't he realize that we don't need Canadian food or Canadian steel or Canadian oil? We do that s*** to help you. We can produce all the natural resources we need right here, we don't have to import them.

What is wrong with the American people here disrespecting America by supporting a country who shows nothing but disrespect and contempt to the American people and out Representatives? What is wrong with President Trump wanting things to be fair. Canada has charged the US a 25% tariff for years and that's acceptable I think not. They deserve a 25% tariff from America. Why do some Americans think it's acceptable to give America's hardworking tax dollars away to countries who show nothing but disrespect to United States what is wrong with you guys? America doesn't need to be everybody else's piggy bank we have our own people our own states to take care of own states to take care of.

Products need to be made in CANADA! Please start up factories and farming across Canada for all products. Excuse me…smart is not the word I would use

Trudeau thinks Canada can survive a trade war? ???. Canada doesn't have anything that the US can't get for itself. Unless they want to start selling snow to the southern states. We help them by buying their crap. We dont need it like Canada needs us. We subsidize their economy in more ways than one. And Trudeau is willing to learn that the hard way it looks like.\n\nOh well, Gues Canada Wont have much of a choice but to become the 51st state

wasn't it harper that opened the door by subsidizing immigrant workers wages? I still remember a woman on the news who got let go from a basic restaurant job in weyburn and replaced by an immigrant with a federally subsidized wage.

Illegal immigrants have better health care services than my 90 year old mom who paid taxes most of her life. 6 million Canadians without a family GP.

How is it a trade war when all countries have the sovereign governments right to tax. Every country will ofcourse look for their own interest first. Looks like Canada is going to have a crash landing economy.

No its simple, you take as much as you sell. Simple financial mathmatics.\nIm sure the US can sustain not having canadian products.\nHere in the uk we dont want your goods if you dint buy ours.

Canada literaly could not survive w.o the US. Good luck

your farms need the 80% of the pot ash they import they are really going to feel it soon. they wont plant the seed if they cant fertilize properly then theres 60% crude oil imports at 10$ a barrel, not anymore and 30% soft lumber. thats just the tip ? for those that are cheering this on still enjoy, trump gave us 30 days and we used that time to sign new deals without you. mexico's president was right 7.5 billion people on this planet outside of the u.s.a. we dont need you we can just go on trading and doing business with each other and move forward without you. BUILD THE WALL BUILD THE WALL, and hurry up about it will ya

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

Canada has benefited from the USA for many years — it’s time to step up and contribute. ? Let’s focus on fairness and sharing the responsibility don’t bitch about it pay us.

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

"Alberta was calling" because there was a labour shortage. Now it's different. Policies adapt to current needs and future expectations. As a regular person, I just wish my kid could have room for lunch inside during school and us don't need to wait weeks to fix broken bone. I don't care how, just shut up and get it done.

So you saying closest ally yet we gave 200 billion for your country security and in return we get lumber . nice one

Canada can buy produce from Mexico and Mexico, vice versa. Problem solved for now.

Nothing personal Canada but we're taking our jobs back. Deal with it.
