DeepSeek recommends Canada sell their oil to the Asia Pacific region and European regions that are seeking non Russian oil. Forget about the US and leave them to their tariffs and find a better buyer.
Since the Netherlands buys 60B worth of crude oil from the US each year, we gladly replace the US with Canada. A more stable and reliable ally than the US Shipping from the east coast of canada would mean 50% less shipping distance as well.
Of course it would would. The Burnaby port is open, Asian countries don't have the refining capacities yet. But don't forget that Chinese corruption is just as bad as American corruption.
@@mcebabds That sounds great but I believe that our oil isn't very easy to extract and refine. It's not the same thing extracting from the tar sands as it is pumping in the GULF OF MEXICO.
@ 😂depends we were liberated by the canadians! They are a lot higher in our picking order. And trump withdrawing from nato, means no more restrictions on chip machines to china
The damage to Canada-US relations will be extreme and long term. Canadians are learning to HATE America (or at least MAGAmerica) and that bitterness will last at least a generation. The damage to US prestige and trustworthiness throughout the world will also last a generation.
Oh no Canada is learning to hate us, what ever will we do. I will let you in on a little secret... the vast majority of Americans don't give a rip about Canadians.

Me too. I didn't vote for this wannabe dictator. He is a fool. I hope Canada cuts off our oil and causes a recession. See how much Trump supporters love him then.
As a Canadian, I am livid and disgusted with how we are being treated. It makes me sick to my stomach that Canadian soldiers died , mist recently, in YOUR war on terrorism in Afghanistan, and Canadian water bombers did not hesitate to come assist California with the wildfires, and this is the thanks we get. It is time to realize that the United States are not our friends, thus we must move on and join the EU. This relationship is damaged. We are collateral damage for American stupidity.
If you are really our friends, why do you have a 276% tariff on US drywall, 238% US poultry, 200+% tariffs on US eggs, peanut butter, cheese, butter etc. Also tariffs on lumber, fish tobacco etc. Drop your tariffs and maybe Trump will make a deal. Just because you helped us fight a fire doesn't give you a license to rip us off 200 billion in trade. We saved you and your Monarchy from the Nazis. You'd be speaking German right now if not for the US.
1.Yet you hide behind American armed forces? Why? 2. America puts 3.6% of GDP and 0.4% of population into heroic armed service personnel for 60 years and Canada does 1/3 of this. Why? 3. Your defense ally takes on and wins the GWOT worldwide for 20 years and it Our War? Why? 4. You are seamlessly integrated to the US economy like a state with few barriers. Yet you sacrifice nothing like a US citizen. Why? 5. If Canadians don't want to be known as freeloaders, take a look in the mirror, pick up the yoke of world democracy defense and leadership and rejoin the fight after your 40 year hibernation. You are like reluctant teens. si vis pacem parabellum
As a US Citizen and California resident, we greatly thank our Canadian neighbors for all that you've done. Trump is a despicable human being. Many of us can't stand the clown...he won the election (unfortunately) but got less than 50.0% of the popular vote.
Cancelled our spring break Hawaii trip. Cancelled our summer Florida trip. Cancelled our American machinery purchase 250k CAD. Cancelled our parts ordering(searching out European suppliers). Cancelled our purchases of any American food products for family of 4.
Canada should put it 15% export tax on oil going to the US. This added to the 10% Trump tariff on oil would bring it near 25% and prevent Trump's ability to reduce the inflation effects on the US economy.
Canada can use this crisis to reposition itself for sustainable growth - i.e., remove provincial trade barriers, de-regulate, increase population to 100MM by 2100, do EVERYTHING possible to increase housing supply, restrict foreign acquisitions, increase trade with China and India. We will not feel wealthier in the next 10-15 years, but the country will be healthier and stronger.
The Asian mafia thugs and more have infiltrated Canada via Vancouver since the early 80s. I don't know the percentage of fentanyl ingredients that are coming into Canada via the Vancouver ports. But we are among the worst. The problem is even bigger than that when one considers international financial schemes. And everyone knows what happened to Vcr and To real estate, David Krayden published Wilful Blindness in 21. Canada's hands aren't clean. And we are not the only country dealing with this blight. My question is about the Ivanka-China ties.
Compare that with 25000 Kgs of Heroine and cocaine coming into Canada from USA and the deadly guns illegally smuggled from USA. , both drugs and guns killing Canadians!
@@INF1NI73 It isn't easy to find the numbers. But Kayden's research strikes me as more plausible because of the complaints by people like the mayor in Delta years ago. I know that a paltry 1% wouldn't have resulted in the Vcr real estate insanity or the East Side.
The damage is done. Regardless if they reach an agreement, as a Canadian, I am already turning labels on all products to see where it's made. I am going to cancel American based subscriptions (Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+). Canadians on Reddit are quite vocal asking questions down to the brand of coffee to buy. For a similar context, when MLB or NHL players went on strike leading to a lockout, when it was over, the fans didn't return for years to prior attendance figures. Ken Dryden said it best during the NHL lockout, "Biggest issue is that fans learn to live without Hockey". I will start to learn to live without US made services and products.
As an American by birth only, good. The only way fools here will listen is if you bully them back; then they fold. My humblest apologies for my country voting for Cheeto Jesus.
We don't care, as an American I encourage you to buy Canadian made things to help your businesses. I check the label and buy American made to help our businesses too. I just avoided some Canadian grown greenhouse tomatoes in Walmart and bought US grown. With Trump's tariffs, we are forcing everything sold in our stores to be grown or made in the US. Nothing against Canadians, but we don't want to buy your things or anyone else's things. We want to buy only US made things like the old days. No China, Mexico, Canada etc.
Really? I used to go to Canada every year to hunt and fish, until your government became bullies at the border concerning our firearms. That was 20yrs ago, and I know our group was not the only one who stopped. $20k American dollars spent every year x 20 yrs just from our group, gone and will never return because of your bullies at the border.
@ The lack of decency goes beyond the MAGAs I’m afraid. There are some whose major concern is that they will have to pay more for something. The real victims here are truth, respect and trust and a US Canada relationship that goes back many years. How can you trust a nation that can elect Trump…. twice. The US has lost the respect of the world. Threatening Denmark, Panama, Canada Mexico and the EU and lord knows who is next.
Thank you so much for saying that. Canadians need Americans to say these things, loudly and often, if we're to have a chance. The mood here seems to be universally surprised, hurt - and really pissed off.
@@geocam2is trump going to do anything about all the illegal guns flowing into Canada and Mexico? There is far more drugs coming to Canada from the US than Canada is allowing
Sorry about that. Personally I voted for Harris. There are a lot of Americans that are appalled with both tariffs and Trump's insulting memo that called Canada a "narco state". I feel badly about all of this and we will work hard to neuter Trump in the next election cycle.
As a Canadian, who used to spend a lot of my time and money in the US, I can tell you that Canadians are pissed! This change in Canadian attitude towards Trump and the Americans that support him will not be forgotten any time soon! We may not be to buy Canadian all the time , but we can buy anything but American. I personally won't spend a penny on US goods if I don't absolutely have too. I moved my Boat from San Diego to Mexico and won't be returning. Nationalism in combination with a personality like Trumps is bad for the world! We have seen this before! I was a Trudeau hater until his speech yesterday, Trump has actually managed to unite this country behind a leader and party that would have suffered a massive loss at the poles!
Sure buddy and starve without buyers 😂nobody need that amount of oil these days unless you sell at huge discount Remember Russia is under war and selling everyone who buys oil very cheap You have no choice
I hope you are right, and that this will eventually lead to a deal that respects Canada's sovereignty. It doesn't feel that way though. Here we have a sense, slow to sink in, of an historic threat to our identity and nationhood. Canadians love their country just as much as Americans do, come what may.
The most important product from Canada is POTASH. Canada (due to the russian war) is now the leading producer of this very limited resource. The farmers are getting what they wanted.
But the USA still needs Canadian oil for it's domestic use. The USA sells a lot of it's oil to other countries. I agree about the potash. Thx for mentioning it. Someone said we should be making more aluminum too.
When the price of potash goes up, the price of food goes up. Not sure the Americans want to do that while they have 42% of agricultural workers too afraid to show up to work.
Exactly. Canada supplies the US with 87pc of its Potash for fertiliser. No Potash, no fertiliser; no fertiliser, no crops; no crops, increased food prices.......!🇬🇧
The US has 5 potash mines and has been begging for tariffs on Canada, because you have been dumping cheap potash and taking their sales. NAFTA gave you tariff free access to do this, but those days are over. You won't be selling one ounce of potash in the US soon. We have one Potash mine near Carlsbad NM that is over 200 square miles. We have plenty to supply our farmers, we just need tariffs to stop Canada from undercutting us and stealing our sales.
Canadian consumers are boycotting all American products. This is not organized by the government, it's spontaneous. Even if the Canadian government were not to retaliate with tariffs, the US will see their exports to Canada collapse quite suddenly.
I’m Canadian, The US has to pay the tariffs on our stuff. So no i wasn’t going to boycott anything American. It’s the retaliatory tariffs Trudeau stupidly put on that will mean it costs me 25% more to buy American, so that will be expensive and really hurt Canadians- but the Canadian government did that to us. I’m very upset the Canadian government is forcing me to pay 25% more for American goods, which we need. 😢 Everyone in Canada is going to be poor because of the tariffs Trudeau is putting on American goods.
@@trailblazermastery the problem here is, that Canada barely has any value added industries. We import our raw oil to the states then buy it back once it’s been refined/processed…. Our government and their unwillingness to touch anything they deem dirty has really bent Canadians over in this trade war
Canada is too nice to do something like that. Trudeau is effectively using diplomacy in how the retaliation was positioned - it sounds tough, but all we are really committing to is drinking less US booze. This is how Canada responded to a swift kick in the crotch from Donald.
First international act: threaten Denmark, not ruling out military power, over territory. second: president´s counsel demands Britains Prime Minister to step back. Third: introduce taxes to all your neighbors. Besides that president´s counsel supports every right-wing-extemist party in western Europe. I do actually spot a pattern: all that benefits all enemies of the West. This president is a foreign agent.
America's enemies must be rubbing their hands together with glee. Yes, major adversaries like China and Russia will feel some pain in the short term, but watching America's worldwide alliances and partnerships begin to deteriorate (thanks to the impulses of a short-sighted fool) makes their own long-term prospects look much more promising.
@@geocam2 two things about that: 1) has from Alberta is very expensive to get out of the ground, so the tariffs will bite, even at 10% 2) I think Danielle Smith is being played by Trump. In this first round it is in Trump's interest to keep the tariffs on oil low, but he has already said he doesn't think he needs Canadian energy imports, and I think that is where he goes next.
@@有福-g7z "Just sell it to Europe bro"... if only we infrastructure to do that but Trudeau killed the northern gateway (0.525 MMbbls/d), banned oil tankers from operating off of the BC coast, then cancelled energy east (1.1 MMbbls/d). This doesn't include projects that would have been proposed since 2015 if we had a government that wasn't hostile to our oil industry. The only option is to shut-in and cripple oil producers.. which means our economy is f****ed.
Canadian Perspective, Time for the UK and the European Union to join the tariff fight against tyranny.. Canada came to your aid day 1 in WW1 and WW2! American Democrats, stop this madness!
During the first Trump administration 60,000 migrants (accounting for not than 90% of asylum seekers to Canada) crossed the Canada-US border at one place in NYState alone, and US Border enforcement did nothing to stem that flow. It's a little hypocritical don't you think.
I will never view America the same again after this. Fair weather friend that resorts to bullying on a whim, without a care for the consequences. We need to create closer ties to Europe and East Asia right now.
A friend of mine lives in Sydney Australia. He works for the head office of a local restaurant company which has locations all over Australia. He told me their CEO instructed their buyers to funnel out slowly American products. He said in a memo if America is willing to do this to Canada wait till he moves against the rest of the world. Id imagine many businesses throughout the world are moving away from U.S to clear out from the sting of American tariffs.
Dig deeper. Canadas federal Gov. has imposed 25 percent across the board on all U.S. goods. Included in Canadas response is a revoking of Gov. procurements from USA companies. Starlink was to provide services to northern isolated communities. The Canadian Gov. is now going with a Canadian Company even though it will cost more. Provincial Governments have done the same in regards to procurements. Also have taking Provincial actions, such as for example. The provinces of Ontario the worlds largest single importer of USA alcohol has ordered all American brands from liquor store shelves. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec have done the same with British Columbia only targeting American red states. Combine that with Canadian citizens being so pissed that there is now a consumer boycott fever for all made in USA products, food and all other products. Canadians are proud and free. WE WILL NEVER BOW A KNEE TO A DICTATOR. America he is your problem. Damn your dumb. It is a fait accompli, Trump has sized all levers of power. Military, A.G., FBI, Treasury, Pres, congress, senate and Supreme Court. America you now have a dictatorship. There will be lawsuits that will go no where. You will find troops on the streets soon. Only the good Generals can save you now. I do not expect to see any fair elections anymore. When all the guard rails have fallen and the oligarchy have consolidated all power. There is nothing left except the people and pitchforks.
The Canadian government announced tarrifs on $30 billion worth of US imports. More are coming in 3 weeks. Canada has NOT imposed a blanket 25% on all US imports. Get your facts straight.
I have a question: What is the chance that countries impacted by America's tariff regime decide to unite into an economic alliance against the US. I am thinking of Mexico, Canada and the EU though I wouldn't count out China. Would that possibly emerge?
There are a surprising number of countries looking for new trade partners. Since Trumps first term, Canada has signed a free-trade agreement with the EU and have increased trade by 46% with them. No doubt, folks are moving away from the US. They cannot be trusted.
The generosity and humanity of Canadians was demonstrated when after the 9/11 attacks the people of Gander Newfoundland took in American strangers and treated them like family. Now we see Canadians booing the Americans national anthem at hockey games. The trust and respect has been extinguished. One thing for sure tho, if Canadians were put in a position where Americans needed help like in Gander… they would do it again without a thought. Maybe that’s the biggest difference. Trump’s supporters attacked the capital to support his lies. I see little by non MAGA as Trump attacks Canada and Mexico.
COUNTER OFFER - 40 NEW CANADIAN STATES: Alaska only has 800,000 Pop. so Canada should be broken up into 40 new States (Canadian Pop 40 million). I'm sure Trump would love to have 80 new Senators and hundreds of new congressmen voting for his policies and insuring PROPER REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION. Even North Dakota has less then a Million, so what is just for ND would surely be Just for the 4 new partitioned states of QUEBEC. Trump may even learn to speak French.
I'm embarrassed to be a US citizen. The only time I've felt more embarrassed than this was during the Vietnam War. That was worse, because people were dying. No one dies in a trade war, but lives will be hurt or ruined nonetheless. It's completely pointless and capricious. The US has taken on the character of its president: a schoolyard bully who at some point needs to be confronted and put in its place. Not a country to be proud of, just the opposite.
The world will be united in spending their money and power to ensure that where possible they find ways to work and trade without any US involvement now. USA will see how USSR felt decades ago.
Yes, he likes tariffs, but it is more than that - he just likes kicking people in the teeth to show he is the biggest bully. Even if he gets what he wants, he will use the tariff hammer again, just for fun.
Wake the hell up. He's a rubber stamp for the heritage foundation. He didn't draft or read a single one of those executive orders. "Ooooh, that's a big one" like wtf. "He's just a silly little guy" isn't a explanation for the actions of the entire US gov.
Trump has to create an imaginary problem, so he can act “Strong “ and credit himself with solving it!! I’m so embarrassed to be an American, but am booking my summer trips to visit Canada and spending my money there to help Canada!
I read that most of the fentanyl seized at the southwest border was from American citizens coming through legal ports of entry. I doubt very much that these tariffs will help decrease the flow of fentanyl into this country because there’s a huge demand. Americans want it yet we’re not attacking that side of the problem at all. His reasons for these tariffs sounds weak to me.
Americans best look at what Trump is doing in their own country as well. Another couple of weeks and you will be invited to view the Coronation of King Donald I. On Fox of course.
As Kissinger said (and others before him), "countries do not have friends - they have interests". America should unashamedly pursue its interests with determination and so should Canada. Common ground is the only basis for a sustainable international relationship.
if the unbalance between import and import between US vs Canada, Mexico and China is the problem, why don't Canada/Mexico/China try and make it balance for fairness?
It's never been about fairness, fairness has absolutely nothing to do with all of this. Imagine I (canada) produce and sell beef and you (US) make and sell milk. Each year you buy $10 000 in beef from me while I only buy $ 7 000 worth of milk from you. Maybe milk is a lot cheaper and I don't really need more than that. Or maybe half of my family is lactose intolerant. It doesn't really matters here. The US buys more because it's unable to produce and meet the demand from it's own citizen. It's just cheaper to import it from another country. That's the trade balance Trump calls unfair. I (canada) am certainly not going to buy more milk, that I really don't need, from you, just to make you happy. You (US) wouldn't be happy either if I decided to only sell you $ 7 000 of beef, leaving you wanting that extra $ 3 000, in the name of fairness. Trump is just using this to bully other countries into submission.
The good news is that American leadership is inept and corrupt. Although the Canadian situation is not much better right now there will no doubt be a new leader with a strong mandate in the near term and dealing with the Trump gang should not take much intellectual capacity. I hope that 2 things come from this as a Canadian: 1) we stop relying on the US for economic expediency and strategic defence and begin to diversify our trading relationships and 2) that we finally get serious about having 'free trade' with our own provincial jurisdictions which alone is predicted to add 3 pts to GDP which is what it sounds like we are going to lose with the Trump Tax. Finally, I do not believe we are going to see any new trade deals during Trump's term unless the global community bands together and hits the US hard to force change. I am not holding my breath on this and think this is the new 'normal' for many years to come.
Hey, tariffs are ok in a good economy as long as funds benefit the middle and lower classes instead of the rich. They are just a national sales tax.😊😊😊
They say the average American will only pay about $80 more per month with Trump's import tax. That's probably with selective buying. Like many of us do now.
I spent my career traveling the world, proud to tout Canada's relationship with the US. We were cousins. We had each other's back and also respected the uniqueness and value of the other. Sadly I - and I dare say most Canadians - have for now, lost that feeling of kinship towards our American neighbours. Trump has unleashed economic war on Canada for reasons nobody, including Trump, can reasonably explain. While the US won't win this war, its obvious Canada will suffer an order of magnitude more. We understand that the it could prove devastating. There will be a strong feeling in the Country that we can't let ourselves be this vulnerable again, and this will most certainly lead to developing other trading and possibly strategic relationships that will further split the 'family' and won't serve American interests in the long term. It is a sad day for North America.
I feel it's only fair that we put a tarrif on the United States national anthem. From now on, we only sing 30 percent of it in all Canadian arenas. Take that America.
This could be a good thing for we Canadians in the long term, if we learn to come together as a Country and quit our regional bickering. Just got to get Alberta Premier Smith to wake up and get with the program
Well, here is what is going to happen in Canada. 4 Infrastructure projects I can think of. Canada will create a "Canada Only" Free Trade agreement going East-West instantly replacing 20% of the economic loss to the States from this Tariff War. 2nd, Canada will finish the east-west pipeline for temporary oil and gas transportation bypassing the US Mid-West. It will then turn to Germany for money to quickly build out east coast LNG plants. The Germans and rest of the EU will jump at the chance to get out from under Trump and Putin when it comes to safe and secure winter home heating resources. 3rd, Ottawa will subsidize Alberta to take their upgrader plants and fully convert them to finished refineries on the promise that the Feds will build a deep water oil export facility in Hudson's Bay to ship oil and gas products to Eastern Canada through the NWP without having to go by land through Eastern Canadian population centres. While also staking its claim to the NWP as a non-international internal waterway to Canada, now patrolled by Canada's 6 new Navy Icebreakers. Fifth, Military Procurement: Canada will look to Europe and itself for military procurement. There will be no more 88 plane F35 contract, No 16 P8 Posiedon contract, No 12 E7 WedgeTail Contract, No 15 Destroyer Agesis 7 contract. No NORAD Beyond the Horizon Radar Site install and you can basically take the 2% NATO commitment and shove it up Trump's ass

Trump is brilliant. He wants to disrupt globalization and that entails pushing nations to rethink their entire trade and investment outlook, to orient themselves towards more emphasis on self-sufficiency and domestic market.
Except that the global distribution of resources is uneven; the reason that self sufficiency is an unachievable pipe dream and that international trade exists in the first place. Best to come back to reality than live in a self destructive delusion.
@ Uneven, right. That’s why the world economy which is now reaching unparalleled degree of inequality and disparity will be for an extended period devolved into a set of macroregions with relative self-sufficiency (nobody is talking about completely ending international trade and capital flows). We are not talking about eliminating international trade and capital flows but about rebalancing the relationship between national (regional) economies and the world economy in favor of the former. This RELATIVE self sufficiency will allow governments to buttress their domestic capabilities and will then set the stage for a transition to socialism which should have begun in the 1980s but was torpedoed by the opening of China and the defeat of the USSR in the Cold War.
Not in US interests you say? But, what if you're a dictator on the make, Then...being the biggest bully, maybe even grabbing some territory, causing suffering (to deflect from the pain of your own population)...then, you can start to see what interests are supported by economic warfare.

DeepSeek recommends Canada sell their oil to the Asia Pacific region and European regions that are seeking non Russian oil. Forget about the US and leave them to their tariffs and find a better buyer.
Since the Netherlands buys 60B worth of crude oil from the US each year, we gladly replace the US with Canada.

Shipping from the east coast of canada would mean 50% less shipping distance as well.
Of course it would would. The Burnaby port is open, Asian countries don't have the refining capacities yet. But don't forget that Chinese corruption is just as bad as American corruption.

The damage to Canada-US relations will be extreme and long term. Canadians are learning to HATE America (or at least MAGAmerica) and that bitterness will last at least a generation. The damage to US prestige and trustworthiness throughout the world will also last a generation.
I agree but at the end of the day who can the free world turn to for economic and military security. There is still only the US.

As a Canadian, I am livid and disgusted with how we are being treated. It makes me sick to my stomach that Canadian soldiers died , mist recently, in YOUR war on terrorism in Afghanistan, and Canadian water bombers did not hesitate to come assist California with the wildfires, and this is the thanks we get. It is time to realize that the United States are not our friends, thus we must move on and join the EU. This relationship is damaged. We are collateral damage for American stupidity.
Seems weird joining the EU being that Canada is not in Europe but it might not be a crazy idea if USA alienates us even more.
If you are really our friends, why do you have a 276% tariff on US drywall, 238% US poultry, 200+% tariffs on US eggs, peanut butter, cheese, butter etc. Also tariffs on lumber, fish tobacco etc. Drop your tariffs and maybe Trump will make a deal. Just because you helped us fight a fire doesn't give you a license to rip us off 200 billion in trade. We saved you and your Monarchy from the Nazis. You'd be speaking German right now if not for the US.
We American are also pawns in Trumps game. Keep fighting.
1.Yet you hide behind American armed forces? Why?
2. America puts 3.6% of GDP and 0.4% of population into heroic armed service personnel for 60 years and Canada does 1/3 of this. Why?
3. Your defense ally takes on and wins the GWOT worldwide for 20 years and it Our War? Why?
4. You are seamlessly integrated to the US economy like a state with few barriers. Yet you sacrifice nothing like a US citizen. Why?
5. If Canadians don't want to be known as freeloaders, take a look in the mirror, pick up the yoke of world democracy defense and leadership and rejoin the fight after your 40 year hibernation.
You are like reluctant teens.

As a US Citizen and California resident, we greatly thank our Canadian neighbors for all that you've done. Trump is a despicable human being. Many of us can't stand the clown...he won the election (unfortunately) but got less than 50.0% of the popular vote.

Predictable response.
Good! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
I am thinking in the same line ! Canadians will do things to support the Canadian economy !👍🇨🇦
sure ya did buddy
Canada should put it 15% export tax on oil going to the US. This added to the 10% Trump tariff on oil would bring it near 25% and prevent Trump's ability to reduce the inflation effects on the US economy.
The US has no alternative sources since their refineries are designed for Cdn oil.
Canada can use this crisis to reposition itself for sustainable growth - i.e., remove provincial trade barriers, de-regulate, increase population to 100MM by 2100, do EVERYTHING possible to increase housing supply, restrict foreign acquisitions, increase trade with China and India. We will not feel wealthier in the next 10-15 years, but the country will be healthier and stronger.
Great idea!!
"increase population to 100MM by 2100" Bro, no. We don't want the century initiative. It's destroying our country.

I had no idea the amount of fentanyl coming into the USA from Canada was only 10 kg! Thank you.
The Asian mafia thugs and more have infiltrated Canada via Vancouver since the early 80s. I don't know the percentage of fentanyl ingredients that are coming into Canada via the Vancouver ports. But we are among the worst. The problem is even bigger than that when one considers international financial schemes. And everyone knows what happened to Vcr and To real estate, David Krayden published Wilful Blindness in 21. Canada's hands aren't clean. And we are not the only country dealing with this blight. My question is about the Ivanka-China ties.
43 lbs from Canada. 21,000 lbs from Mexico
About 20kg to be more specific. Around 9600 from Mexico. Crazy huh? And of all those drugs 80% of it is smuggled by U.S. citizens themselves.
Compare that with 25000 Kgs of Heroine and cocaine coming into Canada from USA and the deadly guns illegally smuggled from USA. , both drugs and guns killing Canadians!
@@INF1NI73 It isn't easy to find the numbers. But Kayden's research strikes me as more plausible because of the complaints by people like the mayor in Delta years ago. I know that a paltry 1% wouldn't have resulted in the Vcr real estate insanity or the East Side.
The damage is done. Regardless if they reach an agreement, as a Canadian, I am already turning labels on all products to see where it's made. I am going to cancel American based subscriptions (Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+). Canadians on Reddit are quite vocal asking questions down to the brand of coffee to buy.
For a similar context, when MLB or NHL players went on strike leading to a lockout, when it was over, the fans didn't return for years to prior attendance figures.
Ken Dryden said it best during the NHL lockout, "Biggest issue is that fans learn to live without Hockey".
I will start to learn to live without US made services and products.

We don't care, as an American I encourage you to buy Canadian made things to help your businesses. I check the label and buy American made to help our businesses too. I just avoided some Canadian grown greenhouse tomatoes in Walmart and bought US grown. With Trump's tariffs, we are forcing everything sold in our stores to be grown or made in the US. Nothing against Canadians, but we don't want to buy your things or anyone else's things. We want to buy only US made things like the old days. No China, Mexico, Canada etc.
Trump is a bully.
He's sick.
Really? I used to go to Canada every year to hunt and fish, until your government became bullies at the border concerning our firearms.

Canadians and Americans will both suffer with these tariffs. The only difference is Americans deserve it.

This change in Canadian attitude towards Trump and the Americans that support him will not be forgotten any time soon!

I'm an American, and sadly, it was my fellow Americans who voted this guy in. The scary part is this guy is just getting started.
The most important product from Canada is POTASH. Canada (due to the russian war) is now the leading producer of this very limited resource. The farmers are getting what they wanted.
But the USA still needs Canadian oil for it's domestic use. The USA sells a lot of it's oil to other countries. I agree about the potash. Thx for mentioning it. Someone said we should be making more aluminum too.
When the price of potash goes up, the price of food goes up. Not sure the Americans want to do that while they have 42% of agricultural workers too afraid to show up to work.
Exactly. Canada supplies the US with 87pc of its Potash for fertiliser. No Potash, no fertiliser; no fertiliser, no crops; no crops, increased food prices.......!🇬🇧
The US has 5 potash mines and has been begging for tariffs on Canada, because you have been dumping cheap potash and taking their sales. NAFTA gave you tariff free access to do this, but those days are over. You won't be selling one ounce of potash in the US soon. We have one Potash mine near Carlsbad NM that is over 200 square miles. We have plenty to supply our farmers, we just need tariffs to stop Canada from undercutting us and stealing our sales.
@icontrolmyownguns2096 lately you've been producing 10% of your annual requirements.
No excuses now son, get busy mining your own.

Yes Trump is full of crap, what else is new
Canadian consumers are boycotting all American products. This is not organized by the government, it's spontaneous. Even if the Canadian government were not to retaliate with tariffs, the US will see their exports to Canada collapse quite suddenly.

@@Sec_coachAndroid works for the rest of the world, that's not hard.
Sadly, a 100% boycott by the entire nation will have almost no impact on the US economy.
I’m Canadian, The US has to pay the tariffs on our stuff. So no i wasn’t going to boycott anything American. It’s the retaliatory tariffs Trudeau stupidly put on that will mean it costs me 25% more to buy American, so that will be expensive and really hurt Canadians- but the Canadian government did that to us.

@@trailblazermastery the problem here is, that Canada barely has any value added industries. We import our raw oil to the states then buy it back once it’s been refined/processed…. Our government and their unwillingness to touch anything they deem dirty has really bent Canadians over in this trade war
Canada is too nice to do something like that. Trudeau is effectively using diplomacy in how the retaliation was positioned - it sounds tough, but all we are really committing to is drinking less US booze. This is how Canada responded to a swift kick in the crotch from Donald.
First international act: threaten Denmark, not ruling out military power, over territory. second: president´s counsel demands Britains Prime Minister to step back. Third: introduce taxes to all your neighbors. Besides that president´s counsel supports every right-wing-extemist party in western Europe. I do actually spot a pattern: all that benefits all enemies of the West. This president is a foreign agent.
America's enemies must be rubbing their hands together with glee. Yes, major adversaries like China and Russia will feel some pain in the short term, but watching America's worldwide alliances and partnerships begin to deteriorate (thanks to the impulses of a short-sighted fool) makes their own long-term prospects look much more promising.
Allies? What allies?
Canadian here. Maybe we’ll leave the oil in the ground.
Alberta is MAGA. They are going to take the 10% tariff and keep the oil flowing. Trump is beloved in Alberta!
Sell it to the Chinese for full price.
@mikeb5664 No. Sell it to Europe. Europe stops buying natural gas from US, but buy solely from Canada instead. That will be a better solution.
@@geocam2 two things about that: 1) has from Alberta is very expensive to get out of the ground, so the tariffs will bite, even at 10% 2) I think Danielle Smith is being played by Trump.

@@有福-g7z "Just sell it to Europe bro"... if only we infrastructure to do that but Trudeau killed the northern gateway (0.525 MMbbls/d), banned oil tankers from operating off of the BC coast, then cancelled energy east (1.1 MMbbls/d). This doesn't include projects that would have been proposed since 2015 if we had a government that wasn't hostile to our oil industry. The only option is to shut-in and cripple oil producers.. which means our economy is f****ed.

He thinks like a rapist.... well he is actually a convicted rapist!
During the first Trump administration 60,000 migrants (accounting for not than 90% of asylum seekers to Canada) crossed the Canada-US border at one place in NYState alone, and US Border enforcement did nothing to stem that flow. It's a little hypocritical don't you think.
US is deaf and blind to that ,New York bussing them to our border. Us suggested camps near Canada.
EXACLTY. We also get guns and drugs smuggled in from the U.S. too!
I will never view America the same again after this. Fair weather friend that resorts to bullying on a whim, without a care for the consequences.
We need to create closer ties to Europe and East Asia right now.
A friend of mine lives in Sydney Australia. He works for the head office of a local restaurant company which has locations all over Australia. He told me their CEO instructed their buyers to funnel out slowly American products. He said in a memo if America is willing to do this to Canada wait till he moves against the rest of the world. Id imagine many businesses throughout the world are moving away from U.S to clear out from the sting of American tariffs.
What is his real endgame here? Just respect my authority bs?
I think Trump wants Canada as the 51st state (or 52nd if he gets Greenland first). This is about acquiring real estate.
Annexation.
Stop the drugs & illegal immigrants including 380 known terrorists. Trudeau is wilful negligent
Dig deeper. Canadas federal Gov. has imposed 25 percent across the board on all U.S. goods. Included in Canadas response is a revoking of Gov. procurements from USA companies. Starlink was to provide services to northern isolated communities. The Canadian Gov. is now going with a Canadian Company even though it will cost more. Provincial Governments have done the same in regards to procurements. Also have taking Provincial actions, such as for example. The provinces of Ontario the worlds largest single importer of USA alcohol has ordered all American brands from liquor store shelves. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec have done the same with British Columbia only targeting American red states. Combine that with Canadian citizens being so pissed that there is now a consumer boycott fever for all made in USA products, food and all other products. Canadians are proud and free. WE WILL NEVER BOW A KNEE TO A DICTATOR. America he is your problem. Damn your dumb.
It is a fait accompli, Trump has sized all levers of power. Military, A.G., FBI, Treasury, Pres, congress, senate and Supreme Court. America you now have a dictatorship. There will be lawsuits that will go no where. You will find troops on the streets soon. Only the good Generals can save you now. I do not expect to see any fair elections anymore. When all the guard rails have fallen and the oligarchy have consolidated all power. There is nothing left except the people and pitchforks.
that's a little extreme sir
The Canadian government announced tarrifs on $30 billion worth of US imports.
More are coming in 3 weeks.
Canada has NOT imposed a blanket 25% on all US imports.
Get your facts straight.
Isn’t saying “we are going to inflict pain until they give up and annex” a declaration of war? Why all the soft-speak?
Hilarious. We'll just end up getting closer to other American "enemies". Trump voters will see a slow collapse of their country 😂
I have a question: What is the chance that countries impacted by America's tariff regime decide to unite into an economic alliance against the US. I am thinking of Mexico, Canada and the EU though I wouldn't count out China. Would that possibly emerge?
That's what we're hoping for in some way.
I think you are referring to the BRICS, I think Mexico might join some day.
There are a surprising number of countries looking for new trade partners. Since Trumps first term, Canada has signed a free-trade agreement with the EU and have increased trade by 46% with them. No doubt, folks are moving away from the US. They cannot be trusted.
If smart Trudeau had not completely alienated China to please the US, it would have a better chance now.
The generosity and humanity of Canadians was demonstrated when after the 9/11 attacks the people of Gander Newfoundland took in American strangers and treated them like family. Now we see Canadians booing the Americans national anthem at hockey games. The trust and respect has been extinguished. One thing for sure tho, if Canadians were put in a position where Americans needed help like in Gander… they would do it again without a thought. Maybe that’s the biggest difference. Trump’s supporters attacked the capital to support his lies. I see little by non MAGA as Trump attacks Canada and Mexico.
Doesn't seem to count for much.
As a U.S. citizen, I see this as a hallmark of Trump’s policies-self-inflicted wounds, much like in his first term. An absolutely unnecessary move.
We won’t forget.
COUNTER OFFER - 40 NEW CANADIAN STATES: Alaska only has 800,000 Pop. so Canada should be broken up into 40 new States (Canadian Pop 40 million). I'm sure Trump would love to have 80 new Senators and hundreds of new congressmen voting for his policies and insuring PROPER REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION. Even North Dakota has less then a Million, so what is just for ND would surely be Just for the 4 new partitioned states of QUEBEC. Trump may even learn to speak French.
We definitely need to come together as a country regardless of our party, we are not pushovers and the world and especially Trump needs to know that.
I'm embarrassed to be a US citizen. The only time I've felt more embarrassed than this was during the Vietnam War. That was worse, because people were dying. No one dies in a trade war, but lives will be hurt or ruined nonetheless. It's completely pointless and capricious. The US has taken on the character of its president: a schoolyard bully who at some point needs to be confronted and put in its place. Not a country to be proud of, just the opposite.

Hello from Canada. Excellent, accurate analysis.
This is nothing but a shakedown. I'm sure if Canada quietly offered to buy a couple billions worth of Trump coin he'd find a reason to back off.
It's the only reason a $TRump shit coin exists.
Unpopular opinion but I don’t think there was any logic here. He just likes Tariffs. He loves them. He’s stuck in the 70’s
Yes, he likes tariffs, but it is more than that - he just likes kicking people in the teeth to show he is the biggest bully. Even if he gets what he wants, he will use the tariff hammer again, just for fun.
Wake the hell up. He's a rubber stamp for the heritage foundation. He didn't draft or read a single one of those executive orders. "Ooooh, that's a big one" like wtf.
"He's just a silly little guy" isn't a explanation for the actions of the entire US gov.
No logic at all. More importantly, no consideration of relationships, alternatives and long term consequences.

Trump has to create an imaginary problem, so he can act “Strong “ and credit himself with solving it!!
I’m so embarrassed to be an American, but am booking my summer trips to visit Canada and spending my money there to help Canada!
I read that most of the fentanyl seized at the southwest border was from American citizens coming through legal ports of entry. I doubt very much that these tariffs will help decrease the flow of fentanyl into this country because there’s a huge demand. Americans want it yet we’re not attacking that side of the problem at all. His reasons for these tariffs sounds weak to me.
Americans best look at what Trump is doing in their own country as well. Another couple of weeks and you will be invited to view the Coronation of King Donald I. On Fox of course.
As Kissinger said (and others before him), "countries do not have friends - they have interests". America should unashamedly pursue its interests with determination and so should Canada. Common ground is the only basis for a sustainable international relationship.
Trump not too bright
if the unbalance between import and import between US vs Canada, Mexico and China is the problem, why don't Canada/Mexico/China try and make it balance for fairness?
It's never been about fairness, fairness has absolutely nothing to do with all of this.
Imagine I (canada) produce and sell beef and you (US) make and sell milk. Each year you buy $10 000 in beef from me while I only buy $ 7 000 worth of milk from you.
Maybe milk is a lot cheaper and I don't really need more than that. Or maybe half of my family is lactose intolerant. It doesn't really matters here. The US buys more because it's unable to produce and meet the demand from it's own citizen. It's just cheaper to import it from another country.
That's the trade balance Trump calls unfair. I (canada) am certainly not going to buy more milk, that I really don't need, from you, just to make you happy. You (US) wouldn't be happy either if I decided to only sell you $ 7 000 of beef, leaving you wanting that extra $ 3 000, in the name of fairness.
Trump is just using this to bully other countries into submission.
Is that really a question? 😂 He’s attacking US allies and strengthening US enemies - just like last time. Congrats Americans!
The good news is that American leadership is inept and corrupt. Although the Canadian situation is not much better right now there will no doubt be a new leader with a strong mandate in the near term and dealing with the Trump gang should not take much intellectual capacity. I hope that 2 things come from this as a Canadian: 1) we stop relying on the US for economic expediency and strategic defence and begin to diversify our trading relationships and 2) that we finally get serious about having 'free trade' with our own provincial jurisdictions which alone is predicted to add 3 pts to GDP which is what it sounds like we are going to lose with the Trump Tax. Finally, I do not believe we are going to see any new trade deals during Trump's term unless the global community bands together and hits the US hard to force change. I am not holding my breath on this and think this is the new 'normal' for many years to come.
"Move fast and break things" seems to be their motto. This will not end well.
This is an absolute (and non-sensical) stab in the back of a longtime ally. We just cancelled our family's spring break trip to California.

Maybe the idea IS to unite Canadians.... who seem totally oblivious to their own politicians taking their country down a sinkhole....
Hey, tariffs are ok in a good economy as long as funds benefit the middle and lower classes instead of the rich. They are just a national sales tax.😊😊😊
They say the average American will only pay about $80 more per month with Trump's import tax.
That's probably with selective buying. Like many of us do now.
This is American Exceptionalism in action.
I spent my career traveling the world, proud to tout Canada's relationship with the US. We were cousins. We had each other's back and also respected the uniqueness and value of the other. Sadly I - and I dare say most Canadians - have for now, lost that feeling of kinship towards our American neighbours. Trump has unleashed economic war on Canada for reasons nobody, including Trump, can reasonably explain. While the US won't win this war, its obvious Canada will suffer an order of magnitude more. We understand that the it could prove devastating. There will be a strong feeling in the Country that we can't let ourselves be this vulnerable again, and this will most certainly lead to developing other trading and possibly strategic relationships that will further split the 'family' and won't serve American interests in the long term. It is a sad day for North America.
Thank you.
I feel it's only fair that we put a tarrif on the United States national anthem. From now on, we only sing 30 percent of it in all Canadian arenas. Take that America.
This could be a good thing for we Canadians in the long term, if we learn to come together as a Country and quit our regional bickering. Just got to get Alberta Premier Smith to wake up and get with the program
Well, here is what is going to happen in Canada. 4 Infrastructure projects I can think of. Canada will create a "Canada Only" Free Trade agreement going East-West instantly replacing 20% of the economic loss to the States from this Tariff War. 2nd, Canada will finish the east-west pipeline for temporary oil and gas transportation bypassing the US Mid-West. It will then turn to Germany for money to quickly build out east coast LNG plants. The Germans and rest of the EU will jump at the chance to get out from under Trump and Putin when it comes to safe and secure winter home heating resources. 3rd, Ottawa will subsidize Alberta to take their upgrader plants and fully convert them to finished refineries on the promise that the Feds will build a deep water oil export facility in Hudson's Bay to ship oil and gas products to Eastern Canada through the NWP without having to go by land through Eastern Canadian population centres. While also staking its claim to the NWP as a non-international internal waterway to Canada, now patrolled by Canada's 6 new Navy Icebreakers. Fifth, Military Procurement: Canada will look to Europe and itself for military procurement. There will be no more 88 plane F35 contract, No 16 P8 Posiedon contract, No 12 E7 WedgeTail Contract, No 15 Destroyer Agesis 7 contract. No NORAD Beyond the Horizon Radar Site install and you can basically take the 2% NATO commitment and shove it up Trump's ass
Justin Trudeau: the worst Prime Minister in Canada's history. Re: Doug Ford, he's more Liberal than he is Conservative.
American consumers, get ready for it trillions of dollars in taxes
I AM A CANADIAN CITIZEN I AM GOING TO SELL MY AMERICAN CAR MY HARLEY-DAVIDSON I AM NO LONGER GOING TO TRAVEL TO THE United States I am no longer going to buy American products it's over.THANK YOU DONALD TRUMP💩💩💩
Fix your own drug problem. Fix your own weak border We are raising the cost of the crude since he says you dont need us...traitors
Every day more people will come to detest him. Why it’s taken so long as he’s demonized the “other” until now. Now most of us are the “other” eventually with this type of demon.
The problem here is what does Trump want exactly? Cheaper oil? Maple syrup? Canadians have no idea what they did wrong
That's always the case in abusive relationships.
1. Balance trade rwaltionships.
2. Fully share weight of defending democracy worldwide. ( Eg 4 -5 % of GDP to defense, 0.4 - 0.6% of popukation in active service.)
That is the problem. Canadians don’t understand. It is critical they figure it out.

Excellent video. I appreciate the take you have on this. As a Canadian, I am furious. I have travelled the US extensively and have always enjoyed my time there. Amazing hospitality, incredible sites, but this hit at us from you government is a low blow. Not happy and will suspend all travel to the USA. I hate to impact the American People, but you all voted for him so we can only take this personally.
Tariffs on oil means increased prices immediately. Tarrifs on cars don't immediately jack up prices, giving the US and Canada time to work a deal.
with friends like these............
Tariffs - Taxing US citizens - 😔
Romania here: insane policy!
Well said.
Canadians. Is this a true statement?
Trudeau: We will not help America. Instead, we will do our own tariffs. = Trade War
Poilievre: We will help America fight the killing of Americans in any way possible. = No Trade War
Mad dog Trump
Could a situation like this potentially make it easier for an American to move to Canada? Asking for a friend 😂
Trump is brilliant. He wants to disrupt globalization and that entails pushing nations to rethink their entire trade and investment outlook, to orient themselves towards more emphasis on self-sufficiency and domestic market.
Yep, anyone convinced Haitians are eating cats and dogs is unquestionably a "stable genius." 😆😆😆😆
@ Don’t delude yourself with what comforts you - forget about entertainment of the campaign season and focus on what’s behind the curtain.
Except that the global distribution of resources is uneven; the reason that self sufficiency is an unachievable pipe dream and that international trade exists in the first place. Best to come back to reality than live in a self destructive delusion.
@ Uneven, right. That’s why the world economy which is now reaching unparalleled degree of inequality and disparity will be for an extended period devolved into a set of macroregions with relative self-sufficiency (nobody is talking about completely ending international trade and capital flows). We are not talking about eliminating international trade and capital flows but about rebalancing the relationship between national (regional) economies and the world economy in favor of the former. This RELATIVE self sufficiency will allow governments to buttress their domestic capabilities and will then set the stage for a transition to socialism which should have begun in the 1980s but was torpedoed by the opening of China and the defeat of the USSR in the Cold War.
@ Very well said.
Could it be that Trump is still mad about Justin Trudeau's joke at G7 meeting? The rest of the reasons don't add up.
"American Values:" 90 mil non voters + 77 mil Trump voters (75 mil Harris voters) .. "Values" lol ..
Not in US interests you say? But, what if you're a dictator on the make, Then...being the biggest bully, maybe even grabbing some territory, causing suffering (to deflect from the pain of your own population)...then, you can start to see what interests are supported by economic warfare.
thank you
