I hope Canada doesn't let Trump bully them. He needs to be taught a lesson. I live in America and I don't like Trump and his ways he is a felon cold selfish man
A us tariff will effectively do that because US goods relative to the Canadian dollar will rise as the Canadian dollar drops in value. It's not a sound idea.
Trump isn’t the “New Kid on the Block”. He knows exactly what he is doing. He was the President of the United States of America for 4 years. Please don’t give him these kind of passes. He wanted division within his own country, now he has it. He wants division between Canada and the USA and divisions with in Canada. Trump does the best for himself and worse for others when he has as much chaos going on as he can. People with any kind of experience in life should realize this.
US trade deficit with Canada is about 50 billion, not 100 billion. A trade deficit means Canada exports more to the US than they import. A tariff will mean US consumers will pay more for Canadian products, which will drop the CAD dollar and the resulting recession will mean Canada imports less US goods, which will increase the us trade deficit, or do the exact opposite of what is intended. I guess the thinking is that a tarriff will balance the trade deficit, but that just never works. Even if U.S. exporters switch to domestically produced inputs their costs will still rise, because competing domestic suppliers will be able to increase their markups in the industries that are protected by higher tariffs.
Trump’s basic premise: America is shortchanged. Reality: America uses resources around the globe to build its wealth and power. Who moved American jobs overseas for example? American merchants exploiting cheap labour.
Exactly! And there’s a trade imbalance because the US with 10 times the population gets raw materials here cheap so they can get actual value added manufacturing jobs using those raw materials.
@ I don’t think he has weighed all the repercussions from his trade moves. His ego stands in the way. His fans cannot think for themselves. Follow the bully.
__ Trump is full of it __ the free-trade was revised on his last term, and was no questions about tarifs_ he want to revise the free-trade deal again in 2026, __ So applying tariffs before his revision of 2026 is not respecting his own terms and supposed deals.

@jordansims9162 Sales of electricity from Ontario to the U.S. are about $3 billion per year which is the same amount the provincial government will mail out to citizens in January. It's not a big deal and the gas not burned can be saved or sold to China. The country could cut energy sales to the U.S. by $100 billion per year without total economic collapse.

My fellow Canadians, this is all a ruse. Statistics show this is inherently an American problem. From 2022-2023 Canadian customs seized ~500,000 kilos of illegal drugs along our entire southern border, while the Americans "only" seized ~27,000 kilos. This clearly shows us two things: 1. The flow of illegal contraband is predominately south to north, _NOT_ north to south as Trump would have us believe and 2. Our border security is actually doing a much better job of seizing illegal drugs coming into Canada than the Americans. This is to say nothing about the illegal guns flowing into Canada from the US which is arguably the biggest problem for Canadians and legal gun owners. **To be clear, Trumps _only_ motive for imposing tariffs stems from his need to pay for massive tax breaks for U.S. Billionaires. Our borders are _NOT_ broken, but like our healthcare system, could always use a little TLC. Our goal of building a country that all Canadians can be proud of hasn't changed much since July 1, 1867. It takes hard work and patience, one brick at a time. Hope this helps, stay vigilant.

Good, and to bring some reality to the show we can lift all those sanctions we have imposed on trade with countries that the USA doesn’t like. Canada took a huge hit on its pork exports when we had to bend the knee to the US sanctions on Russia.
Hmmm. Just like Trump doesn’t understand how tariffs work, he also doesn’t understand what “subsidies” are. Yes, Canada rely on our biggest trade partner in the world, but we also have a lot of stuff that Americans need, electricity & oil are only part of what they heavily rely on. FAFO.
Mentioning carbon products including crude oil, refined/distilled oil and gas is a bad choice. Trudeau has been applying caps and increased pressure to shut down that industry. He even told the German Chancellor and the Japanese Prime Minister that there was no future business case for any of these products. Obviously Trump will move to sever ties with Canada and expand US production.
President Trump understands exactly how tariffs work and what subsidies are. We don’t need your electricity and oil. We generate our own electricity. And take wild guess where your oil gets refined. We should turn off the heating gas we send you losers. The U.S. does not need Canada. Canada on the other hand, needs the U.S.
The U.S has plenty of oil and gas , the stupid pathetic Democrats changed the climate change laws to where we have to import them now , trump could use this to fast track legislation to use more U.S oil and gas and also fast track Nuclear generators , better watch fighting Trump
Trump's not cutting trade, he's just putting a 25% tax on products entering the US. It's no different than going to the store and buying something and paying a sales tax. If Doug Ford wants to sell electricity here, he's gonna have to pay to play. A 25% tax will be added on his electricity and he can eat the 25% and continue selling for the same price, or US electric producers will service those clients.
There is no trade deficit between Canada and the US. Canada is 1/10th the size of the US. It makes sense we can’t buy as much as our wealthy neighbour.
@@bc4420 It makes sense that we sell to our US friends. Our resources will be expensive with a tarrif on them. Of course we can sell to other countries without tariffs. I believe Trudeau is working on that right now. We do have very good relationships with other countries.
Lol! You really think that's why Trump is doing this? It's his *excuse* - not his *reason.* As with steel ans aluminum last time, he's using the claim of a national security threat to overcome obstacles to hitting us with tariffs - a big loophole he is exploiting. He made the decision to hit us with the tariffs *first* and then chose the border as his way to push it through. No matter what we do, it won't be enough. He will demand more.
@somename152 that's a excuse for Americans not wanting to hold themselves accountable for their own demons. If there wasn't a demand no need for a supply. American or pathetic and this election proves it on a grand scale
The USA is also responsible for the borders. If people are get illegal items across the border, at legal check points, from Canada’s side it is the American border guards that are allowing it through. When I go to the states I’m checked by Americans, when I come back I’m checked by Canadians. Don’t fool yourself! It’s more than the border issue in the narcissist’s mind.
To me all this sounds like a child's tantrum, especially when we supposedly live in a globalized world, with many free trade agreements and interdependent economies. A tariff war has no winners, that is elementary. Another elementary thing is that almost always the value of trade between two countries is not identical, that does not mean that the one that sells less was "subsidizing" the other country. Does any current leader come to mind who is not clear about that?
I say let it all happen and see which Country collapses first then go back to the comments made from both Countries and see which one it actually hurt most by being "tough".
Why would you assume Trump is telling the truth? Forty pounds of Fentanyl last year was caught going over the border. Next to nothing. More coming into Canada.

What’s wrong with the border. Everytime I go to the states I enter thru US customs not Canada customs do people cross else where maybe but it’s up to both sides to patrol their side not just Canada

@jamesk7963 nobody can tariff goods going out of a country. A tariff is a tax on incoming goods. Trump can tariff Canadian goods 25% to increase the cost to Americans in the USA.

Come the new president I for one am boycotting America. I hope others are too and not just saying they are. There are more problems coming into Canada from the USA and more will be coming from fleeing from the mass deportations. I believe we should increase our border security for these reasons but let’s not forget you go through American customs when enter their country.
At this particular time the Premieres should keep their mouthes shut. The next Government hopefully led by Pierre Poilievere has the smarts to be able to work for our economic dealings with The United States. We will get more results by working hand in hand with our American neighbour's but not having Premieres throwing out threats .
Anyone but PP. Cons destroyed my life with the free trade deal. The company I worked for moved to the US. That company is now in Mexico after almost failing in the US (they made a lot more profit in Canada).
This is the same silly, knee-jerk reaction I saw over the renegotiation of NAFTA. How did fighting that work out? You would think Canadians would eventually learn that reasoning is better than fighting?
Nah, we are a founding member. Canada was patrolling the Atlantic for about 3 years before the US before they went into both world wars late. What needs to happen is Canada should pull out of NORAD, why should we be a missile buffer zone for the protection of the US from Russia and China?
I hope that you’re not counting on the Liberals new finance minister to improve conditions in Canada. If what we have now with after the combined efforts of the Freeland-Carney partnership what will we get with an individual who is the farthest thing from a finance minister?
You would need to build new refineries and pipelines. US oil refining is designed to use extremely cheap Canadian heavy oil. The US pays about 30% less than the world price for oil from Canada. An export tax on Uranium, oil and Electrictiy would be awesome. How about a 30% export tax on all energy crossing the border? That would clear up a lot of issues.
Trump says it's fine if Canada takes retaliatory measures such as cutting off energy to some U.S states but what do Americans say that recieve that energy I doubt they would say that's fine when it's lights out
But elon said that Americans would face hardship at first. It's them that are cutting their noses off and they're begging Canada to help them cut off their noses to spite their faces and to guarantee hardships economically on the less advantaged not 😢millionaires and billionaires.
The problem needs to be fixed by America. As long as America gives migrants/immigrants free housing, free medical, free food, and a free education the people will keep coming even if Trump is in office. No only that, but the undocumented immigrants were given jobs by American companies.

NB is the only officially bilingual province in Canada. Many companies set up their call centres in NB for that reason. Besides being the home of Canada’s largest oil refinery and strategic sea ports. NB is very much relevant to Canada and the world.
Continue to supply the energy, but charge them a lot lot more.
How about buying oil from oil producing provinces like Alberta instead of other countries. There is absolutely no reason that we cannot become energy self sufficient.
Quebec blocked Energy East. Funny part is that we haven't heard about it since the NDP (Notley) ran Alberta, and Liberal's (Wynne) Ontario too.
@@JBrix86 Yeah cause Energy East was one of the worst ideas ever. It would have messed up drinking water for Quebecers and evidently most of the product would have ended up being exported overseas. this has been proven
With a 25% tariff on Canadian electricity entering the US, they will no longer be competitive with US electricity companies and the utility companies will be buying US natural gas generated electricity. Ford will have to lower his prices 25% and eat the tariff to continue selling electricity here.
Well that’s an option. But take a wild guess where Canadian oil gets refined.

Just increase the prices to the US! No retaliatory tariffs, no cutting them off. Let them suffer the consequences of Trumps actions.
Good, and to bring some reality to the show we can lift all those sanctions we have imposed on trade with countries that the USA doesn’t like. Canada took a huge hit on its pork exports when we had to bend the knee to the US sanctions on Russia.
Better get more security on our pipelines before you do that. I mean we do not need to lose pipelines here
@ I know what you mean..😂
Yes, Susan, but nothing stops you from putting an export tax on goods leaving NB destined for the US.
WHY does Canada claim "respect" ??? For WHAT???
Hmmm. Just like Trump doesn’t understand how tariffs work, he also doesn’t understand what “subsidies” are. Yes, Canada rely on our biggest trade partner in the world, but we also have a lot of stuff that Americans need, electricity & oil are only part of what they heavily rely on. FAFO.
Mentioning carbon products including crude oil, refined/distilled oil and gas is a bad choice. Trudeau has been applying caps and increased pressure to shut down that industry. He even told the German Chancellor and the Japanese Prime Minister that there was no future business case for any of these products. Obviously Trump will move to sever ties with Canada and expand US production.
President Trump understands exactly how tariffs work and what subsidies are. We don’t need your electricity and oil. We generate our own electricity. And take wild guess where your oil gets refined. We should turn off the heating gas we send you losers. The U.S. does not need Canada. Canada on the other hand, needs the U.S.
The U.S has plenty of oil and gas , the stupid pathetic Democrats changed the climate change laws to where we have to import them now , trump could use this to fast track legislation to use more U.S oil and gas and also fast track Nuclear generators , better watch fighting Trump
Trump's not cutting trade, he's just putting a 25% tax on products entering the US. It's no different than going to the store and buying something and paying a sales tax. If Doug Ford wants to sell electricity here, he's gonna have to pay to play. A 25% tax will be added on his electricity and he can eat the 25% and continue selling for the same price, or US electric producers will service those clients.
Put 1000%tarriff on teslas
Why is border security such a no go for liberals?
Because the actual numbers of drugs and
Migrants going into the US is negligible that’s why.
Why are facts and data so difficult for conservatives ?
Because the border is secure. Why fix a problem that isn't happening?
@ the border is not secure, you guys have a higher death rate from fentanyl than we do and Canada does not go the limit to scan imports.
Just wish we can stop those THOUSANDS of illegal guns coming to Canada.
Bc most leftwing people are imbued with the notion that cultures dont need demarcation lines and all are welcome on someone else's pocket bien-sûr....
There is no trade deficit between Canada and the US. Canada is 1/10th the size of the US. It makes sense we can’t buy as much as our wealthy neighbour.
So there is a trade deficit hello. What your saying if something makes sense it does not exist? lol
@@bc4420 It makes sense that we sell to our US friends. Our resources will be expensive with a tarrif on them. Of course we can sell to other countries without tariffs. I believe Trudeau is working on that right now. We do have very good relationships with other countries.
@@lwinkfeinWe don’t. Canadian diplomacy is a disaster. An election would put us on a fresh new start and reset relations with other countries.

Fix the borders and drugs , and won’t be issue
Good idea so go to any American hood or street corner and tell your fellow citizens to stop using drugs
Lol! You really think that's why Trump is doing this? It's his *excuse* - not his *reason.*
As with steel ans aluminum last time, he's using the claim of a national security threat to overcome obstacles to hitting us with tariffs - a big loophole he is exploiting.
He made the decision to hit us with the tariffs *first* and then chose the border as his way to push it through.
No matter what we do, it won't be enough. He will demand more.
it's near impossible
@somename152 that's a excuse for Americans not wanting to hold themselves accountable for their own demons. If there wasn't a demand no need for a supply. American or pathetic and this election proves it on a grand scale
The USA is also responsible for the borders. If people are get illegal items across the border, at legal check points, from Canada’s side it is the American border guards that are allowing it through. When I go to the states I’m checked by Americans, when I come back I’m checked by Canadians.
Don’t fool yourself! It’s more than the border issue in the narcissist’s mind.
American make your own electricity , invest in your own nation, generate jobs and wealth locally
We do generate our own electricity. Take a wild guess where Canadian Oil gets refined?

@@jamesk7963true but we ( Americans) are not truly energy independent. We do not refine our OWN oil.
@@lovepeacenappiness1 Yes we do, our oil is refined in Texas and Louisiana.
To me all this sounds like a child's tantrum, especially when we supposedly live in a globalized world, with many free trade agreements and interdependent economies. A tariff war has no winners, that is elementary. Another elementary thing is that almost always the value of trade between two countries is not identical, that does not mean that the one that sells less was "subsidizing" the other country. Does any current leader come to mind who is not clear about that?
I say let it all happen and see which Country collapses first then go back to the comments made from both Countries and see which one it actually hurt most by being "tough".
It's pretty simple ask the federal government to secure the border and you won't have to make these empty threats
yeah. To secure us against all the illegal guns and drugs coming from the US. Sounds great. And caving to a dictator.
Why would you assume Trump is telling the truth? Forty pounds of Fentanyl last year was caught going over the border. Next to nothing. More coming into Canada.

We are here because our politicians have failed in their duties, if they did their jobs there would be no issue, they would rather line their own pockets before doing what they were sworn to do. Take care of Canada, then go and line your pockets as much as you want idgaf, just stop trying to pass the buck.
No. We are here because Trump is an arrogant bully who has no problem attacking America's closest ally without a thought.
Wrong. This is a power grab by trump.
Cry some more. Trump threatened tariffs were responding.
Fix the border that simple
Trump has moved away from the border. He than said trade deficit now its hes subsiding Canada. It wss never about the deficit.
Are you really assuming Trump is telling the truth?
What do you mean “Fix”?
What’s wrong with the border. Everytime I go to the states I enter thru US customs not Canada customs do people cross else where maybe but it’s up to both sides to patrol their side not just Canada
If it's simple, why don't you go fix the border yourself.
We will tell trump something he already has been told and doesn't care about. Good job.
Canadians don’t want open borders or fentanyl, why is this so hard to understand. FIX THE BORDERS
We don't want the guns...
Canada never had so much crime before secure the border. why is this so hard to do?
I as an American, support Canada strengthening its boarder with us. If we're to end the Cartel's reign it must start with their ability to move "goods".
The cartel that's the southern border... As a Canadian, why don't you keep your guns in your own country?
Those drugs from the cartel go to the US first, then are sent North to Canada. Cocaine, H, crack , etc come into Canada from the south along with all the guns.
We won't get rid of the HST 0n power bills like promised either right but maybe a temporary rebate will suffice ONE BIG PROMISE BROKEN !!! EH NEW BRUNSWICK
So Canada spends billions on border security,… how much is the USA(trump)spending on boarder security on there side ???
More than Canada does.
Canada enjoys NATO protection but fails to pay their share in any area let alone the borders
@@checko_o7524 NATO protection from whom? And we pay our NATO costs; what we aren't doing is spending the *voluntary target* of 2% GDP. In terms of actual dollar value, we are spending more than some nations meeting or exceeding that 2%. And many of them are including things in their totals that we don't. It's all a bit of a shell game.
Not that NATO is relevant here.
(Although I do agree that it is long past time we meet our NATO commitment. Think we can get PP to agree to that? He hasn't so far...)
Oh so it’s a voluntary target for Canada. The U.S. subsidizes NATO and that has to stop. Canada contributes nothing.

Canadian government needs to add a trump tax on all cross border goods and services. Trump international tax. TIT.
Yes and Trump needs to impose a feminist (Trudeau) 25% tariff on all goods going to Canada.
@jamesk7963 nobody can tariff goods going out of a country. A tariff is a tax on incoming goods.
Trump can tariff Canadian goods 25% to increase the cost to Americans in the USA.
I stand corrected.
So you think messing with the common people is the best way to play?
"To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength"
Justin Trudeau
Trudeau does not speak for Canadians, looks at the polls. We are sick and tired of giving immigrants a free ride!
That very question should have been asked in June 1534. It's way too late for that now.
@jacobleb420 who do you speak for? BTW, according to our constitution, we only have one prime minister at the time. I had the same issue with liberals in Vancouver and my home province of Quebec during Stephen Harper. C'est ce que la charte et la constitution disent!
The electricity is the big stick but we need to be careful how we put it. Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador aren't saying much.
Come the new president I for one am boycotting America. I hope others are too and not just saying they are.
There are more problems coming into Canada from the USA and more will be coming from fleeing from the mass deportations. I believe we should increase our border security for these reasons but let’s not forget you go through American customs when enter their country.
In short term Canada will laugh and then it will be tears
Just fix the Border
Trump is trying to shake Canada down for money. Trump is exaggerating the problem to justify his attack on Canada.
At this particular time the Premieres should keep their mouthes shut. The next Government hopefully led by Pierre Poilievere has the smarts to be able to work for our economic dealings with The United States. We will get more results by working hand in hand with our American neighbour's but not having Premieres throwing out threats .
Anyone but PP. Cons destroyed my life with the free trade deal. The company I worked for moved to the US. That company is now in Mexico after almost failing in the US (they made a lot more profit in Canada).

Good freaking luck.

USA will simply kick Canada out of NATO and then talk
Nah, we are a founding member. Canada was patrolling the Atlantic for about 3 years before the US before they went into both world wars late.
What needs to happen is Canada should pull out of NORAD, why should we be a missile buffer zone for the protection of the US from Russia and China?
I got cenosred for nothing but speaking what I believe was true!
I hope that you’re not counting on the Liberals new finance minister to improve conditions in Canada. If what we have now with after the combined efforts of the Freeland-Carney partnership what will we get with an individual who is the farthest thing from a finance minister?
This is all part of the deal. Our two countries will renegotiate and come to a mutual agreement.
When corporate leaders have become part of Trump's government, the writing is on the wall.
I think Trump will cut the Canadian oil first and start his drill baby drill right away
If he does that, he will collapse the canadian economy. I don't think he will go that far
You would need to build new refineries and pipelines. US oil refining is designed to use extremely cheap Canadian heavy oil. The US pays about 30% less than the world price for oil from Canada. An export tax on Uranium, oil and Electrictiy would be awesome. How about a 30% export tax on all energy crossing the border? That would clear up a lot of issues.
Stock up now, and stop buying any American products,
Its ok guys your kids can be whoever and whatever they want to be. She's on top of things.
As long as there is a liberal or NDP in government things are not going to go well because most citizens are living paycheck to paycheck.
Trump says it's fine if Canada takes retaliatory measures such as cutting off energy to some U.S states but what do Americans say that recieve that energy I doubt they would say that's fine when it's lights out
That sounds like a good reason to create jobs to make more energy infrastructure... not a threat.
Please fight for Canada first! Enough already!
Trade deficits are not sunsidies. Its different.
But elon said that Americans would face hardship at first. It's them that are cutting their noses off and they're begging Canada to help them cut off their noses to spite their faces and to guarantee hardships economically on the less advantaged not 😢millionaires and billionaires.
