Mckinley back in the 1890s was hitting arounf 60 percent tariffs and there was no such thing as a poor American. Why? No one was paying taxes becduse the CW was over in 1865.
Of course resisting America is a nationalist position, because the whole nation-spirit of Canada can be summarized as "at least we're not Americans." It's not a nation-state in the most direct sense. We're like China & Taiwan, one American people divided into two different governments. The original line was "Americans subject to English parliament" vs. "Americans independent from English parliament" but even that's gone now. Is it any wonder that when polled about "what makes you proud to be Canadian" the answer is healthcare? Not because it's good but because it's just about the only difference from America they know.
Who is saying they only affect a countries own citizens? Why did Trump say he was going to retalliate with more tariffs if canada responded with their own? Wouldn't it not effect the United States?
Tariffs against a country causes the country that placed the tariff to pay the money. But the result is that the American customer looks for some other product that is either made in their home country or some other country that hasn't had a tariff placed on it. That's why Canada is placing tariffs on products manufactured in red states. That will make Canadians buy elsewhere, for cheaper, and Americans will lose their jobs. Blue states should be safe.
As an American, I would happily welcome certain Canadians provinces as new states. Specifically Alberta, Saskatchewan, and maybe also Manitoba, and British Columbia. Perhaps other provinces as well. I just don’t want Ontario or Quebec. Due respect to the folks that live there, who want to be a part of the U.S. I’m just not sure that most of you do.
@@North49191 Actually if you look at the trade numbers, financially Canada will suffer terribly (which no one wants), and it will be a mere nuisance for the US. In the end, the greatness achieved for North America will be like nothing ever seen in history.

My thoughts exactly! Of course the lot of raw materials would have to be obtained overseas for awhile, but if production can be domesticated here, that should warrant the production of more jobs!
@@JamesPapadakis-s2u 25% tariffs for 8+ months will destroy their economy. Trump isn’t even doing it for that purpose, he’s using it as leverage to get them to do what he wants them to do. The whole point of the tariffs is for him to get rid of them. Just depends how long Canada will take to comply
When I was a kid growing up in New York City, we used to take weekend trips up to the Adirondack mountains, it's beautiful... pure wilderness. It wasn't until I was older I realized there are actually cities north of there in Canada. I just thought it was all just trees.
Fentanyl from Mexico is definitely a reason to tariff them, do you understand how many young American men and women that have died over the years? It’s absolutely terrifying. Other than that take, I agree with you.
@@jpfecteau8099 Mutual respect would be agreeing to help us protect our shared border from drugs that are killing our people. Again, you aren’t properly arguing in good faith.
Personally think only Alberta has proven to be worthy to be a potential state in the US, the rest of Canada has to earn it imo. While Canada could be sitting on untapped resources that could actually benefit whomever is in control, after the decades and maybe generations of Canadians degrading our culture and country to prop up their pride, on top of barely just winning our country back from the nihilist lefties, I don’t want to welcome +40 million people that are supposed to be our good neighbors but condescendingly have a chip in their shoulder. I want the people to come in if they actually love our country and will do what is necessary to help preserve our country and culture. It’s difficult for me to welcome those who has used our culture as an excuse to belittle for their self pleasure. Albertans in the meanwhile have been more self assured of who they are they don’t need to walk over an allies’ culture to have pride in who they are, they are stable in reflecting themselves as Albertans. Zero need to emphasize how they are compared to other counterparts, can’t say the same with most of Canada unfortunately.
All rural Canadians are essentially the same as American working class people. They vote the same and are culturally the same. Canada's voter demographic maps looks very similar to America's. Big, coastal cities are left, inland rural communities are right. If Alberta became a part of America you'd see an absolute load of Canadians migrate there to gain U.S citizenship. I live in B.C and everywhere but the major metropolitan areas are basically Albertan.
As a Canadian pretty much take it and let Trump spread Trudeau's cheeks. He will push our election back indifinitely anyways. F them, love from Ontario.

@@emkoravo Europe isn't a big enough buyer to make a difference. The US is the largest consumer of commercial goods on the planet, even when their population is a fraction of other countries
@@Brii.Z the GDP of Europe is essentially the same as the US. A difference of ~0.3% of global share. The combined population of the EU is larger than the US at ~450m by ~100m. So while the US has a larger GDP per capita they've proven they aren't trade friendly whereas the EU has begun to sign free trade agreements with other regions of the world. What does the GDP per capita look like 4-12 years from now as every other nation on earth is hit with tariffs that violate trade deals they've negotiated with allies when those same allies have also formed a trade relationship independent of the US? Additionally, Canada buys more US goods than any other country, by a large margin.
It is not Canada, it is a few dumb peoples at the top. Just like how it was with US just before Trump got there. Hopefully Poilievre will do the same for Canada than Trump is doing for US, and maybe then both country could start being great again.

With Canada besides the fentanyl that's able to come through their borders into the US you also have to look at how there's been an increase in illegal immigration through Canada also. The the tariff would go away if they secured their border and worked with the US on the drug and illegal migrants crisis on their end.

@jeffs4483 lol Trump dosent want to end wars. He only cares about money like his gold shoes and perfume. He is over a week in and didn't end the war. He is creating a war and upping prices. Con liar but he is funny
Your gas would rise in price, your nuclear plants would shut down, your plants won't get fertilized, your car companies will collapse, your housing and all road works would grind to a halt, you will no longer be able to make guided missiles, you will lose your best source of graphite for making EV batteries, you will lose 40 million customers that are the primary destination for the exports of 36 States, gold jewellery will rise in price, your Canadian military base will close, and when it finally opens, the Northwest Passage would be closed to American shipping and there is a lot more
That little man's response was so funny because Canada exports 75% to USA, Mexico does 80% and the US exports less than 1/3 between both of them. 😂 I wonder who can withstand a war of attrition😂😂
There are flaws in the plan. Trump has said he will "absolutely" impose tariffs on the E.U. . When you add up the trade with them as well it crosses more than 50% of total U.S. exports. At that point, the scale tips and the U.S. becomes disadvantaged more in any trade war with retaliation. Trump is relying on a dubious assumption that the world economic factors that led to U.S. wealth with the McKinley Tariff will hold up in the 21st century. There are now extreme differences and abilities to circumvent tariffing countries, with airplanes, worldwide commercial shipping, diversified markets with more countries now being developed, new tech etc. There's a reason free trade economies (meaning those who engage in more free trade than tariffed trade) have outperformed tariffed ones.
Lets make Canada into a 51st state, would be so great, for people especially in Ontario and especially Toronto we can actually feel like Americans as we are lower to the equator than some states and areas in America. We want to be part of the Golden Age
Doesn't matter which Canadian party you vote for all you are voting for is your favorite color give the people true freedom and add 51st state to the ballot!
I support most of what Trump has done so far, but starting trade wars with everybody does not seem like a great idea. I don't think it's unreasonable to question how this is going to turn out, and how it might not be good for most Americans.
Let’s look at the tariffs situation. The only people who will pay is the consumers. 1/2 of all of usa raw materials imported come from Canada. Canada doesn’t pay the tariffs the companies that purchase from Canada pay more and then they will pass the buck to the consumer. At the end of the day the USA is almost bankrupt and in a weak spot on the economy board with a transfer of power looming. Play strong from a weak position is the art of war. What countries stop people from leaving? All countries stop people from entry fentanyl bs is to cover the fact that USA is almost bankrupt
Trump should link tariffs to solving healthcare by using tariff money to fund HSAs via a sovereign wealth fund. Trump mentioned having a SWF a few months ago. Everyone would understand it and could tolerate any short term discomfort knowing healthcare is being solved .
A lot of people forget that you need to buy oil in American dollars. That means even if they want to sell to other people, they need to buy more oil, which means they need to first purchase more American dollars to get the oil.
Both sides will suffer and US needs Canada more than you think. This is a bit wreckless of Trump. I respect him being strong, but this is a bit ridiculous.
I am afraid you will be proven right. We'll see, I support a lot of what Trump has done, but have no idea how this tariff stuff is going to play out. I don't think it's heading in a great direction, personally. We'll see!
He’s obsessed with William McKinley. Trump somehow thinks that tariffs will pay for everything and America will return to the gilded age. Absolute idiot, can’t say Americans don’t deserve it though since we voted him in when he was proudly proclaiming tariffs are great the whole campaign.
Not much of a war, we dont need anything from canada that we cant make here is the USA. All we ask is to secure the boarder. I feel for the canadian people but they vote these LIBS in, you get what you vote for. Good luck eh
If you don't need anything what are the tariffs on? Are you importing stuff you don't need instead of buying American? We have been through this with Trump before. The world knows his game by now.
My understanding of the whole tariff thing is that it disproportionately affects big international companies since they generally operate in more than one nation to take advantage of differences in regulations in different places (plus they also sell their products internationally). If normal domestic corporate taxes increase in the US, a lot of them don't care or even encourage it because it affects their competitors more than it does them and mostly just protects their market share. That's why a lot of big corporations will still give money to the Dems even if they think business taxes will go up. That's also why you almost never hear about tariffs talked about it politics because the big corpos really don't like them and won't support politicians who want to use them. Tariffs are essentially an "anti-globalist" type of tax. Ultimately, the price of the tariffs will be passed on to consumers the same as any other tax on business, but if you also lower other taxes to compensate, then it won't change much for consumers. It will, however, put heavy pressure on bigger businesses to avoid outsourcing jobs and makes things cheaper and easier for any local businesses that don't operate internationally. Domestic jobs will also increase and fewer resources will be spent on massive shipments between continents to take advantage of cheap foreign labor. As far as I'm aware, the relative lack of tariffs has helped make a lot of corporations way more powerful than they really should be, so I'm curious to see if we'll get some kind of paradigm shift if more countries start using tariffs over domestic business taxes.
I'd be done with Trump if he somehow made Canada a state. We already have a crazy left state in Cali. Why add another guaranteed 40+ Electoral votes for Democrats
Canada will be hurting, there is no doubt about that…but naturally they will look elsewhere as anyone desperate would do…I think you’ll see Canada buddy up with anybody but the US. If security is what the US was looking for, I think the opposite situation will actually occur. A Canada indebted and reliant on China decreases US security
This is probably the best thing to happen to Canada. They put all their eggs in one basket so it shows all our allies if America falls you will also. Everyone including the USA needs to increase domestic production. Our number one ally needs to be strong and not weak dependent on just American trade. If they work more with China to sell goods and services their products will still be subject to Chinese tariffs. Canada already charges China tariffs so maybe it evens it out idk Just my theory but I think this is just a huge push to increase American manufacturing and we are going to drag Canada into increasing theirs so it hurts now but it will be a win win for both in the end.
17% of USA exports go to Canada. 75% of Canada exports go to the USA. A 25% tariff on USA exports to Canada would cause a little pain. A 25% tariff on Canadian goods going to the USA would crush Canada. Yes, Canada can try to find other countries to sell their products but that takes time and it also costs more for shipping and they will find tariffs in those countries too. Canada has no choice but to make a deal.
The same people who are saying we shouldn't have tariffs on corporations outside of the USA because it's inflationary are always calling for higher corporate taxes inside of the USA. If tariffs are passed on to consumers then what makes them think corporate taxes aren't also be passed on to consumers? The fact is, corporations don't have unlimited pricing power and they do have to absorb some of the cost. Why else would corporations be stockpiling ahead of tariffs? To save money for the consumer? I don't think so. And why would the Canadian government be so upset if they they could just pass it all back to the American consumer? Low tariffs on overseas corporations and high taxes on USA corporations is an America Last policy and Trump is trying to reverse that.
what I don't understand is if this is for keeping jobs in america why are they for H1B visas? I work at a huge company that from 2016 they wanted to keep jobs in america. But usually there was about 1 person per team that was an h1b visa worker in the country to do basic to more advanced work. I thought it was ok that it was a layer of people to fire before laying off employees. Well now each person that quits they do not refill the position and they now hire an indian contractor. Entire teams have been wiped out and it is really bad right now.
In their mind a h1b *is* keeping the job here. The reality is the h1b is to keep wages lower, Elon says some junk about Americans being lazy but he’s deflecting he just wants to pay the h1b half of what he would pay a citizen. It’s really gross and needs to be called iut
Because the isn't a plan to keep jobs in America FOR americans. Previously, the average american would compete against immigrants without legal status, spoke no English and significantly less education (generally speaking). Now your competition is/will be legally there, multilingual and highly educated (the rule to obtain the visa).
@@Emulatorll yes it does seem that the approach would be different and go after that too if they wanted most jobs to come back because that seems lile an easier one that doesn’t take building a factory. Part of my issue too is these people are joining teams saying they are great engineers and developers that can teach us. They join to be a senior python developer and they don’t know how to use vscode and don’t know what pip packages are.

Trump's tariff might just be a wake-up call for Canada. Canadians have grown too comfortable, and it's time for improvements. Like China, Canada protects its own markets-just look at its telecom industry with poor cell service and an overly protected banking sector. Unlike the U.S., Canada has limited banking competition, missing out on many perks available south of the border. In the long run, this tariff could push Canada toward much-needed reforms.

I've had a little while to think about it, and I'd be cool with it. At least cheese will be cheaper if we join.
Agree with Alberta. I would suggest we add Yukon, NW Territory, Nunavut, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. First three plus Greenland gives us a premiere position in the Artic and resources. Last two plus Alberta are more politically aligned with us and have beaucoup natural resources also.

Of course resisting America is a nationalist position, because the whole nation-spirit of Canada can be summarized as "at least we're not Americans." It's not a nation-state in the most direct sense. We're like China & Taiwan, one American people divided into two different governments. The original line was "Americans subject to English parliament" vs. "Americans independent from English parliament" but even that's gone now. Is it any wonder that when polled about "what makes you proud to be Canadian" the answer is healthcare? Not because it's good but because it's just about the only difference from America they know.
and even that's becoming questionable because of their whole "have you considered Minecrafting yourself" coming in
My question is, if tariffs only affect a country’s own citizens, the. Why are Canada and Mexico so offended?
Who is saying they only affect a countries own citizens? Why did Trump say he was going to retalliate with more tariffs if canada responded with their own? Wouldn't it not effect the United States?
@ I keep hearing people say that only the US citizens will feel the burden of the tariffs
Tariffs against a country causes the country that placed the tariff to pay the money. But the result is that the American customer looks for some other product that is either made in their home country or some other country that hasn't had a tariff placed on it. That's why Canada is placing tariffs on products manufactured in red states. That will make Canadians buy elsewhere, for cheaper, and Americans will lose their jobs. Blue states should be safe.
That isn't being claimed and you have set up a strawman argument. Both the gov of Canada and Mexico have publicly said it harms both sides.

Personally think only Alberta has proven to be worthy to be a potential state in the US, the rest of Canada has to earn it imo. While Canada could be sitting on untapped resources that could actually benefit whomever is in control, after the decades and maybe generations of Canadians degrading our culture and country to prop up their pride, on top of barely just winning our country back from the nihilist lefties, I don’t want to welcome +40 million people that are supposed to be our good neighbors but condescendingly have a chip in their shoulder. I want the people to come in if they actually love our country and will do what is necessary to help preserve our country and culture.
It’s difficult for me to welcome those who has used our culture as an excuse to belittle for their self pleasure. Albertans in the meanwhile have been more self assured of who they are they don’t need to walk over an allies’ culture to have pride in who they are, they are stable in reflecting themselves as Albertans. Zero need to emphasize how they are compared to other counterparts, can’t say the same with most of Canada unfortunately.
All rural Canadians are essentially the same as American working class people. They vote the same and are culturally the same. Canada's voter demographic maps looks very similar to America's. Big, coastal cities are left, inland rural communities are right. If Alberta became a part of America you'd see an absolute load of Canadians migrate there to gain U.S citizenship. I live in B.C and everywhere but the major metropolitan areas are basically Albertan.

Trudeau is weak. Canada needs a strong leader.
There are flaws in the plan. Trump has said he will "absolutely" impose tariffs on the E.U. . When you add up the trade with them as well it crosses more than 50% of total U.S. exports. At that point, the scale tips and the U.S. becomes disadvantaged more in any trade war with retaliation. Trump is relying on a dubious assumption that the world economic factors that led to U.S. wealth with the McKinley Tariff will hold up in the 21st century. There are now extreme differences and abilities to circumvent tariffing countries, with airplanes, worldwide commercial shipping, diversified markets with more countries now being developed, new tech etc. There's a reason free trade economies (meaning those who engage in more free trade than tariffed trade) have outperformed tariffed ones.
The US has never won a war they started and this will be no different. They are good at joining in a war when it is half over.

Let’s look at the tariffs situation. The only people who will pay is the consumers. 1/2 of all of usa raw materials imported come from Canada. Canada doesn’t pay the tariffs the companies that purchase from Canada pay more and then they will pass the buck to the consumer. At the end of the day the USA is almost bankrupt and in a weak spot on the economy board with a transfer of power looming. Play strong from a weak position is the art of war. What countries stop people from leaving? All countries stop people from entry fentanyl bs is to cover the fact that USA is almost bankrupt

A lot of people forget that you need to buy oil in American dollars. That means even if they want to sell to other people, they need to buy more oil, which means they need to first purchase more American dollars to get the oil.
Both sides will suffer and US needs Canada more than you think. This is a bit wreckless of Trump. I respect him being strong, but this is a bit ridiculous.
He doesn't even understand what a deficit is, he thinks it's like some sort of a debt or something.
I am afraid you will be proven right. We'll see, I support a lot of what Trump has done, but have no idea how this tariff stuff is going to play out. I don't think it's heading in a great direction, personally. We'll see!
He’s obsessed with William McKinley. Trump somehow thinks that tariffs will pay for everything and America will return to the gilded age. Absolute idiot, can’t say Americans don’t deserve it though since we voted him in when he was proudly proclaiming tariffs are great the whole campaign.
Not much of a war, we dont need anything from canada that we cant make here is the USA. All we ask is to secure the boarder. I feel for the canadian people but they vote these LIBS in, you get what you vote for. Good luck eh
If you don't need anything what are the tariffs on? Are you importing stuff you don't need instead of buying American? We have been through this with Trump before. The world knows his game by now.
With extra saving and speding cuts, could we not easily subsidize a couple hundred billion for our targeted industry? Just asking
My understanding of the whole tariff thing is that it disproportionately affects big international companies since they generally operate in more than one nation to take advantage of differences in regulations in different places (plus they also sell their products internationally). If normal domestic corporate taxes increase in the US, a lot of them don't care or even encourage it because it affects their competitors more than it does them and mostly just protects their market share. That's why a lot of big corporations will still give money to the Dems even if they think business taxes will go up. That's also why you almost never hear about tariffs talked about it politics because the big corpos really don't like them and won't support politicians who want to use them. Tariffs are essentially an "anti-globalist" type of tax.
Ultimately, the price of the tariffs will be passed on to consumers the same as any other tax on business, but if you also lower other taxes to compensate, then it won't change much for consumers. It will, however, put heavy pressure on bigger businesses to avoid outsourcing jobs and makes things cheaper and easier for any local businesses that don't operate internationally. Domestic jobs will also increase and fewer resources will be spent on massive shipments between continents to take advantage of cheap foreign labor.
As far as I'm aware, the relative lack of tariffs has helped make a lot of corporations way more powerful than they really should be, so I'm curious to see if we'll get some kind of paradigm shift if more countries start using tariffs over domestic business taxes.
I'd be done with Trump if he somehow made Canada a state. We already have a crazy left state in Cali. Why add another guaranteed 40+ Electoral votes for Democrats

Canada will be hurting, there is no doubt about that…but naturally they will look elsewhere as anyone desperate would do…I think you’ll see Canada buddy up with anybody but the US. If security is what the US was looking for, I think the opposite situation will actually occur. A Canada indebted and reliant on China decreases US security
This is probably the best thing to happen to Canada. They put all their eggs in one basket so it shows all our allies if America falls you will also. Everyone including the USA needs to increase domestic production. Our number one ally needs to be strong and not weak dependent on just American trade.
If they work more with China to sell goods and services their products will still be subject to Chinese tariffs. Canada already charges China tariffs so maybe it evens it out idk
Just my theory but I think this is just a huge push to increase American manufacturing and we are going to drag Canada into increasing theirs so it hurts now but it will be a win win for both in the end.
Wont this raise prices for both? I like Trump but I seriously dont see the upside. Hoping this somehow works, but I dont think it will.
The upside will come. It is a waiting game. We have subsidized them for decades.
It will.....but the US will catch a few sniffles.....Canada will collapse. They re already teetering on the abyss and why Trudeau is leaving.
Long term it will benefit us more cuz we will start to produce everything domestically dramatically lowering the costs
It won’t work
Trump is ignoring why we voted for him
Border , Gas & Food Prices
@@thonatim5321 exactly, this is the game of patience. The long game if you will.
17% of USA exports go to Canada. 75% of Canada exports go to the USA. A 25% tariff on USA exports to Canada would cause a little pain. A 25% tariff on Canadian goods going to the USA would crush Canada. Yes, Canada can try to find other countries to sell their products but that takes time and it also costs more for shipping and they will find tariffs in those countries too. Canada has no choice but to make a deal.
Peeps gonna freak when their Crown Royal goes up in price
Crown royale is fucking terrible
The same people who are saying we shouldn't have tariffs on corporations outside of the USA because it's inflationary are always calling for higher corporate taxes inside of the USA. If tariffs are passed on to consumers then what makes them think corporate taxes aren't also be passed on to consumers? The fact is, corporations don't have unlimited pricing power and they do have to absorb some of the cost. Why else would corporations be stockpiling ahead of tariffs? To save money for the consumer? I don't think so. And why would the Canadian government be so upset if they they could just pass it all back to the American consumer? Low tariffs on overseas corporations and high taxes on USA corporations is an America Last policy and Trump is trying to reverse that.
what I don't understand is if this is for keeping jobs in america why are they for H1B visas? I work at a huge company that from 2016 they wanted to keep jobs in america. But usually there was about 1 person per team that was an h1b visa worker in the country to do basic to more advanced work. I thought it was ok that it was a layer of people to fire before laying off employees. Well now each person that quits they do not refill the position and they now hire an indian contractor. Entire teams have been wiped out and it is really bad right now.
In their mind a h1b *is* keeping the job here. The reality is the h1b is to keep wages lower, Elon says some junk about Americans being lazy but he’s deflecting he just wants to pay the h1b half of what he would pay a citizen. It’s really gross and needs to be called iut
Because the isn't a plan to keep jobs in America FOR americans. Previously, the average american would compete against immigrants without legal status, spoke no English and significantly less education (generally speaking). Now your competition is/will be legally there, multilingual and highly educated (the rule to obtain the visa).
@@Emulatorll yes it does seem that the approach would be different and go after that too if they wanted most jobs to come back because that seems lile an easier one that doesn’t take building a factory.
Part of my issue too is these people are joining teams saying they are great engineers and developers that can teach us. They join to be a senior python developer and they don’t know how to use vscode and don’t know what pip packages are.
Say what you will about which side your are on but can we just agree on this one thing...
Is it not nice that 2 countries can have a argument about border issues and instead of bullets and bomds we are talking taxes and tariffs.
This trade war better work or else trump will go in history as a clown.
He already is even his supporters think this is stupid. Texans are known for having the I.Q. Equivalence of fruitfly’s but I’ve even seen some of them say this is a bad move and will hurt the economy

Has nothing to do with fentanyl. More goes from US north then from
Canada south. All about getting cheap resources.
Trump's tariff might just be a wake-up call for Canada. Canadians have grown too comfortable, and it's time for improvements. Like China, Canada protects its own markets-just look at its telecom industry with poor cell service and an overly protected banking sector. Unlike the U.S., Canada has limited banking competition, missing out on many perks available south of the border. In the long run, this tariff could push Canada toward much-needed reforms.
We didn't have a housing crash in 2008 because our banks don't lend to people that work at a car wash part time.
I have felt like s*** as a Canadian for the last five years at least, gave some stuff to the truckers not linked to a bank account since I knew the Jackass in parliament would come freeze sh**.
Canadians don't share American values and they're pretty far from American values too. I don't think it's a good idea.
Explain what America values are.
