Canadians not vacationing in the US will affect the US way more than if the US citizens choose not to vacation here. I was driving home to Canada through Montana. We stopped at a restaurant in Great Falls and asked someone what the roads were like north of Great Falls into Alberta. She had no clue where Canada was. This is why I think tourism will hurt the US way more than Canada. I’m not planning on entering the US again.

Almost 200 years of great US-Canada relations. Being good neighbours, helping, trading and working together. The disrespect that was just shown towards them is truly sad. Trump didn't even give this a month to negotiate anything on. As a Belgian ... I would never treat my good neighbour like this.

Given the value of the Looney, Tesla just jacked up prices in Canada. I think a new fully loaded Model Y is around 69k CAD. In 2024 60k tesla were sold in Canada - out of about 1.8 million total sales. If it went to zero in Canada, you could hurt Musk. If it does go to zero, I don't think it won't be on purpose.

@@JudyStroyer-bk6fbCanada will look to their friends in Europe, and China, India and Indonesia to develop trading relationships with countries they can trust.

I want a trillion dollars too but it's not going to happen. There is nothing Trump can do to Canada to make us join the United States so stop worrying about it. I'll drop some factual knowledge for you. You can do look it up in the Constitution too if you want. Trump’s calls for Canada to join the U.S. could only happen by drafting a treaty demonstrating that a process of cession, purchase or occupation is legal. Only then could Congress approve it, and only with a two-thirds majority of the Senate. Trump does not have two-thirds of the Senate.
As a Canadian... bare with me. Up until now, the only shipping lane available for cargo ships has been the Panama Canal. The ships are purpose built to fit through that canal. With the ice caps melting in the north, Canada will soon be home to the most valuable shipping lane in the world. Big enough for any ship. That's why he's obsessed with Panama. It's also why he's obsessed with annexing Canada and invading Greenland. I know it sounds crazy, but this is Donald Trump.
someone smarter to him, managed to get through to him, and that's why... yep, been thinking this since it became clear it's not one of his stupid fixations beyond the moment
Agree . That’s why Russia is playing proxy war to extend its reach to artic region along . China is strategically making post all over the world where they can protect the flow of goods .
As a Canadian, nobody I know took the 51 state comment as a joke. We have a culture, a country and an identity. People are mad at 47 right now and we don't want to become US citizens, never going to happen!
Just remember that he represents less than 31% of the country. He’s a successful con man for a reason, because he’s good at lying. He lies well enough to have fooled people TWICE into voting for him. It’s all delusional on his voters part. He’s been a con man since the 1970’s. Right now it’s a battle between pure unadulterated stupidity and intellect. It’s so incredibly complex and all too simple at the same time. The man is unwell, mentally detached.
My sincerest apologies to you and your fellow Canadians. He's an absolute abomination and many of us never have nor ever would support him. I'm embarrassed about those Americans who couldn't be bothered to vote last November when so much was riding on it.
Yes they definitely are I agree I live in the US the division is so bad the hatred between the two parties I've never ever seen in my life before this Scottish American. Blame all this on Trump.
What a class act! This is what diplomacy is. She was most thoughtful, and laid out what has been happening. Enter the JD quote - how typical of the T era of bullying... Notice she did not call anyone names, etc.🤔
I would ask JD Vance. Name one time in history where America came to the defense of Canada? Canada has never had a conflict with any country where we needed American military support. Canada was there in Afghanistan. Canada was there in the Korean War? Canada fought alongside Americans in WW1 WW2?
Trump has already stated to the world that he wants to annex Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada. He is engaging in economic warfare with Canada to achieve this end. This is an unprovoked economic war on a sovereign neighbor, who has been a long-time friend, ally and trading partner. Don't believe Trump's Orwellian nonsense; it's not about American border security. It's a pretext to do what he wants. America controls its own borders. Trump's propaganda is an effort to make what he is doing more palatable to the American people.
@alpe5801 with climate Change a very important shipping rout will open up which goes between Canada and Greenland then goes through Canada's Arctic to Alaska. Trump wants the Panama Canal and the northern shipping route. This is key military strategic routes and shipping routes.
@marlonallen-v5y My daughter lives in the US. I really don't feel safe driving my car in the US with a Canadian plate on my car at this time. I may have to fly to the States and rent a car. In general, I think most Americans are great. It's that 2 or 3% that are total Maga Nuts that worry me.

It is a joke when there's no possible way that it can happen. It's like unicorns, people talk about them but they're literally make believe. I'll let you in on a well known secret. This is why he keeps saying "lower taxes" "military protection" "bigger businesses" . He's trying to entice Canadians to want to join the United States because there is no other option for that to happen. Drown out the noise and carry on because it's all a distraction from a demented mind. Trump’s calls for Canada to join the U.S. could only happen by drafting a treaty demonstrating that a process of cession, purchase or occupation is legal. Only then could Congress approve it, and only with a two-thirds majority of the Senate. Trump does not have two-thirds of the Senate.
You weren't complaining while Joe was increasing the price. You said it was not his fault, it was greedy manufacturers. Now it is a govt that just took offices fault. Classic.
@@DarklyIlluminati Biden did not add tariffs on top of the increase in prices and yes most of us were complaining about it then but knew the entire planet supply chain was nearly destroyed during the pandemic and that Biden didn't cause that. Trump is causing this increase by himself. Call balls and strikes unless you are a cultist
As a Cdn.. I don’t like spending a billion dollars on a relative small border issue. If our effort isn’t recognized.. then return to the status quo. Regarding trade deficits.. you want and need our oil.. you get it cheap. Say “THANKS” and if you don’t want our oil.. stop buying it. Don’t punish Canada for America’s thirst for oil. Regarding NATO.. has anyone noticed that Russia is a spent force? Maybe all countries should spend less as a consequence. American defence expenditures are largely over the top in Europe due American industry being based on a never ending war economy. CDA joining the U.S. why would we want to give up our longer life spans and better health care and freedom from gun violence. What does America have to offer other than better weather? In any ranking of countries by quality of life.. Canada ranks higher. So you keep Trump.. and well quietly muddle along, eh.
I’m Canadian and I think we should diversify our trading relationships, such that we are no longer using the United States as our majority trading partner… Thank you, President Trump for forcing us to no longer rely on the United States.
Trump made up the excuses for tariffs but thats all it is excuses.He was gona put tariffs regardless of border,fentynal or anything he rambles on about.Why am i the only person that notices that and im a fkn nobody
@JudyStroyer-bk6fb because USA has 330m population and Canada has less. So it's normal US buys oil lumber and other commodities from Canada.. Also, what's wrong with deficit - US unemployment is lower than Canada, the currency is stronger than CAD.
Trump's use of the IEEPA to apply tariffs will be challenged in court. Tariffs have never been applied under this made up IEEPA emergency he declared, illegally by the way.
WHY I'M BOYCOTTING AMERICAN PRODUCTS - BUT STILL WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL IN MEXICO - I’ve made a decision to boycott all American products in response to the U.S. government’s unilateral and unprovoked economic attack on Mexico and Canada. This is my way of taking a stand against policies that hurt our neighbors and partners. But some have asked: What about the Super Bowl? Here’s my stance: I will watch the game, but I will do so at a local Mexican-owned bar in Playa del Carmen, where my money directly benefits hardworking Mexican people-NOT American corporations. The bar owner, servers, and cooks are not responsible for U.S. government actions, and they don’t deserve to be caught in the crossfire of a boycott. To stay true to my commitment: ✅ I will not buy American-branded products-only local or non-U.S. options. ✅ I will use this moment to spread awareness and encourage discussion. ✅ I may donate an equal amount to a cause that fights economic injustice in Mexico and Canada. Boycotts are personal choices, and I respect that others may see things differently. But I encourage everyone to think critically about where their money goes and what kind of world they want to support.
I am American. Canada should shut off ALL oil pipelines that run South. That single act would change the dialogue very quickly. Things would get sorted out, fast. Americans are addicted to oil.
I am a live in NY, can NY and Canada make it's own trade agreement. I know I will spend the next 4 years apologizing for Trump and Vance. Canada has ALWAYS been a good neighbor. Thank you.
Canada knows this and values its historical ties with New England states and northern mid-west ones, hence its retaliatory tariffs will target Red States products as has already been said by our Prime Minister.
In August 1812, former President, Thomas Jefferson boasted to the editor of a Philadelphia newspaper that “the acquisition of Canada …will be a mere matter of marching.”. Your 78 year old irrational, unstable imperialist person in the WH is following in Jefferson's footsteps. I preferred our relationship before DT. Nothing will appease him, as was the case with Neville Chamberlain and Hitler in 1938. Canada should be treating this crisis with the urgency that Britain should have treated Hitler's rise to power in the moments leading up to war. You in the US media and Democratic centre must go down in history as being the voice of reason.
This isn’t about trade. This is about Trump distracting from his federal appointments and purges. If the tariffs hurt the American people that is a feature not a bug. People who are struggling economically are less likely to pay attention to the news and protest.
I am American and I frankly do not understand why Trump is slapping 25% tariffs on friendly Canada and just 10% on hostile China. This is stupid. Differences can be resolved in a more smoothly manner 🤐
Thank you Ambassador Hillman for the factual, diplomatic and succinct responses to these questions. It's clear that this trade war is not based on factors that justify the US's action and social media taunts. I hope the American media, citizenship and business entities can help the administration understand how irrational and dangerous this policy is for all concerned. BTW Canada will never be the 51st state.
Electricity from canada is used by about 30 states with northeast US using the most. It doesnt matter how small percent of gdp electricity is, if the lights are off, you have to use candles. US needs 20M barrels of crude oil a day and can produce only 13. 4M comes from Canada. @JudyStroyer-bk6fb
@@JudyStroyer-bk6fb Canada is also the top supplier of crude oil to the US, making up 60% of total oil imports, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
@@JudyStroyer-bk6fbCanada is the largest supplier of energy to the United States, accounting for a significant portion of the U.S.'s energy imports. The percentage of energy the U.S. imports from Canada varies by energy type, but generally ranges from 50-98%.
Per capita GDP of Canada is already lower than the poorest of the poor US state. US may be hurt a little, but this trade war will tank the Canadian economy.

So much of what Donald Trump is doing can be seen, verbatim, in Regan, the Great Depression, the Jewish Holocaust with Hitler, etc.

I want a trillion dollars too but it's not going to happen. There is nothing Trump can do to Canada to make us join the United States so stop worrying about it. I'll drop some factual knowledge for you. You can do look it up in the Constitution too if you want.
Trump’s calls for Canada to join the U.S. could only happen by drafting a treaty demonstrating that a process of cession, purchase or occupation is legal. Only then could Congress approve it, and only with a two-thirds majority of the Senate. Trump does not have two-thirds of the Senate.
Bingo! That said its amazing how many Canadians think we just need to fix the border.
Excellent my ambassador .
If this is a consoler ship, where is the ambassador? Darth Vader
She did a great job
As a Canadian... bare with me. Up until now, the only shipping lane available for cargo ships has been the Panama Canal. The ships are purpose built to fit through that canal. With the ice caps melting in the north, Canada will soon be home to the most valuable shipping lane in the world. Big enough for any ship. That's why he's obsessed with Panama. It's also why he's obsessed with annexing Canada and invading Greenland. I know it sounds crazy, but this is Donald Trump.
100%
This is a precursor to an invasion I believe
someone smarter to him, managed to get through to him, and that's why... yep, been thinking this since it became clear it's not one of his stupid fixations beyond the moment

I love Americans peoples but I don’t Trump government
As a Canadian, nobody I know took the 51 state comment as a joke. We have a culture, a country and an identity. People are mad at 47 right now and we don't want to become US citizens, never going to happen!
Just remember that he represents less than 31% of the country. He’s a successful con man for a reason, because he’s good at lying. He lies well enough to have fooled people TWICE into voting for him. It’s all delusional on his voters part. He’s been a con man since the 1970’s. Right now it’s a battle between pure unadulterated stupidity and intellect. It’s so incredibly complex and all too simple at the same time. The man is unwell, mentally detached.
My sincerest apologies to you and your fellow Canadians. He's an absolute abomination and many of us never have nor ever would support him. I'm embarrassed about those Americans who couldn't be bothered to vote last November when so much was riding on it.
What's interesting is who Trump has not placed tariffs on.

Blame all this on Trump.
What a class act! This is what diplomacy is. She was most thoughtful, and laid out what has been happening. Enter the JD quote - how typical of the T era of bullying... Notice she did not call anyone names, etc.🤔
Stand tall Canada, Mexico, Greenland !. The world loves you and stands with you.
And Panama, too.
That was diplomatic perfection. So proud of the Canadian leadership now. The world is watching and America is not looking good.
I would ask JD Vance. Name one time in history where America came to the defense of Canada?
Canada has never had a conflict with any country where we needed American military support.
Canada was there in Afghanistan. Canada was there in the Korean War? Canada fought alongside Americans in WW1 WW2?
And we helped USA firefighters.
A Gangsta is now 😎 running the US.

Don’t sell the USA any more energy. I’m sure europe can take up the slack
before Trump was talking about the Canadian border and illegal migration he was talking about what he really wants which is our water
He wants the arctic waters. That is why he wants Greenland too.
He wants our resources , and nothern water way etc
Trump has already stated to the world that he wants to annex Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada. He is engaging in economic warfare with Canada to achieve this end. This is an unprovoked economic war on a sovereign neighbor, who has been a long-time friend, ally and trading partner. Don't believe Trump's Orwellian nonsense; it's not about American border security. It's a pretext to do what he wants. America controls its own borders. Trump's propaganda is an effort to make what he is doing more palatable to the American people.
@@alpe5801 he also forgets to tell who is really responsible for what comes across the border into the United States
@alpe5801 with climate Change a very important shipping rout will open up which goes between Canada and Greenland then goes through Canada's Arctic to Alaska.

HA! Not at all! Trump does not know humor anyway.
It is a joke when there's no possible way that it can happen. It's like unicorns, people talk about them but they're literally make believe. I'll let you in on a well known secret. This is why he keeps saying "lower taxes" "military protection" "bigger businesses" . He's trying to entice Canadians to want to join the United States because there is no other option for that to happen. Drown out the noise and carry on because it's all a distraction from a demented mind.

As a Cdn.. I don’t like spending a billion dollars on a relative small border issue. If our effort isn’t recognized.. then return to the status quo.
Regarding trade deficits.. you want and need our oil.. you get it cheap. Say “THANKS” and if you don’t want our oil.. stop buying it. Don’t punish Canada for America’s thirst for oil.
Regarding NATO.. has anyone noticed that Russia is a spent force? Maybe all countries should spend less as a consequence. American defence expenditures are largely over the top in Europe due American industry being based on a never ending war economy.
CDA joining the U.S. why would we want to give up our longer life spans and better health care and freedom from gun violence. What does America have to offer other than better weather? In any ranking of countries by quality of life.. Canada ranks higher.
So you keep Trump.. and well quietly muddle along, eh.
I’m Canadian and I think we should diversify our trading relationships, such that we are no longer using the United States as our majority trading partner…
Thank you, President Trump for forcing us to no longer rely on the United States.

We have massive trade and balances with Mexico and Canada.... And we hold all of the leverage..... All of it
Melissa: you are not alone in any of the three countries involved.
@JudyStroyer-bk6fb no we don't
@JudyStroyer-bk6fb because USA has 330m population and Canada has less. So it's normal US buys oil lumber and other commodities from Canada.. Also, what's wrong with deficit - US unemployment is lower than Canada, the currency is stronger than CAD.
Trump's use of the IEEPA to apply tariffs will be challenged in court. Tariffs have never been applied under this made up IEEPA emergency he declared, illegally by the way.

WHY I'M BOYCOTTING AMERICAN PRODUCTS - BUT STILL WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL IN MEXICO - I’ve made a decision to boycott all American products in response to the U.S. government’s unilateral and unprovoked economic attack on Mexico and Canada. This is my way of taking a stand against policies that hurt our neighbors and partners.
But some have asked: What about the Super Bowl?
Here’s my stance: I will watch the game, but I will do so at a local Mexican-owned bar in Playa del Carmen, where my money directly benefits hardworking Mexican people-NOT American corporations. The bar owner, servers, and cooks are not responsible for U.S. government actions, and they don’t deserve to be caught in the crossfire of a boycott.
To stay true to my commitment:
✅ I will not buy American-branded products-only local or non-U.S. options.
✅ I will use this moment to spread awareness and encourage discussion.
✅ I may donate an equal amount to a cause that fights economic injustice in Mexico and Canada.
Boycotts are personal choices, and I respect that others may see things differently. But I encourage everyone to think critically about where their money goes and what kind of world they want to support.
What she'd like to say is 'have a civil and adult discussion'. But she knows that's not possible with the current US administration.
I am American. Canada should shut off ALL oil pipelines that run South. That single act would change the dialogue very quickly.
Things would get sorted out, fast.
Americans are addicted to oil.
So cutoff oil revenues to Canada?
Oil revenues from Alberta power the spending in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.

I know I will spend the next 4 years apologizing for Trump and Vance.
Canada has ALWAYS been a good neighbor. Thank you.
Canada knows this and values its historical ties with New England states and northern mid-west ones, hence its retaliatory tariffs will target Red States products as has already been said by our Prime Minister.
The tariffs have nothing to do with imigration or fentanyl, its ALL about Trump being laughed at by Trudeau 6 or so years ago
In August 1812, former President, Thomas Jefferson boasted to the editor of a Philadelphia newspaper that “the acquisition of Canada …will be a mere matter of marching.”. Your 78 year old irrational, unstable imperialist person in the WH is following in Jefferson's footsteps. I preferred our relationship before DT. Nothing will appease him, as was the case with Neville Chamberlain and Hitler in 1938. Canada should be treating this crisis with the urgency that Britain should have treated Hitler's rise to power in the moments leading up to war. You in the US media and Democratic centre must go down in history as being the voice of reason.
This is a precursor to an invasion
And the big mistake they made was trying to appease Hitler.
I bet no one wants to come to the U.S. now. I wish I could move to Canada. trump is out of line and a bully. vance is just as bad or worse.
This isn’t about trade. This is about Trump distracting from his federal appointments and purges. If the tariffs hurt the American people that is a feature not a bug. People who are struggling economically are less likely to pay attention to the news and protest.
