hillbilly beer dranker yeah. Our long time partner is abusing us right now and divorce isn’t an option. Guess we’ll have to cheat with an asian or European.
To fellow Canadians: There have been reports of sales reps visiting Canadian appliance stores and taking off Made in U.S.A labels from their products. If you are shopping and you're unsure where the product is made, ask. Buy Canadian; if you can't find a Canadian alternative, go for the Korean, Japanese or European option. If it's American made, leave it on the self.
As a Canadian it is very simple for me. I have cancelled my travel plans down south, I no longer visit American owned restaurants here, I avoid where at all possible an American product for which there is a Canadian equivalent. I'm not at war with the U.S., but my allegiance is to my own country and as long as my country is being unfairly attacked, even if by a close friend, I will stand by its side and defend its interest for myself and future generations.
I have mixed feelings about this. Trump is an aberration, we all know that. I don't know how fair it is to punish people who didn't vote for him and very likely detest him more than we do.
I second that and have been doing this long before this insanity happened. We never go to the US of Snakes at all and never will. We are finished with the US of snakes forever.
Naah, no worries, once in a blue moon they have such a segment and then head straight back to "talibans are building a nuclear mosque in london, targeted at the US, using alien materials provided by soros and hillary!!!!!!!"
If Trump is putting tariffs on Canadian steel for security reasons maybe Trump should stop taking Canadian pot ash, Uranium,electricity ,Gas Oil ,, iron-ore and nickel and many other natural resources Canada supplies the USA with ,
Trump can shove the pot ash up where the sun doesn't shine. That dirty son of a bitch is the world's trouble maker and very dangerous. The orange baffoon is the danger to the entire world - he is NUTS TO THE CORE.
Aside from the nasty ignorant comments below, I commend FOX for presenting a fair report. Unfortunately Trump supporters seem to be no friend of Canada, and a wicked recession is coming for both countries. Canada did not pick this fight, and it sure seems like a sucker punch by the US.
You didn't pay attention when Trudeau backstabbed Trump after leaving from a cordial handshake. Trump will not do that again... Trudeau can't be trusted.
Slap them Canada... the rest of the world is doing the same. Btw, US, we can all get back to actually working on our economies once you jail that orange pile of swamp.
If the dairy tariffs come down, a patriotic Canadian would never purchase an American dairy product no matter how cheap it is. Americans should support their own farmers like Canadians do.
Since the US president is busy acting like a spoiled big brother, the Canadians should simply turn off the electricity that powers the majority of the East coast!!
We are smarter than that - that would hurt predominantly blue states. We are targetting with our tariffs mainly red states - Trump country. Hitting Trumptards where it hurts them the most - their wallets.
Canada will do what it needs to do. They will not disgrace the Queen of Canada. They will survive and well. They won't be intimidated by the "Northern Mexicans" as they sometimes call the people of the US.
Trump started it. As a Canadian I am glad we are standing up to him. Trump is so clueless on how trade works. I do feel sad for the American workers this will effect. Trump needs to focus on the countries who are harming the US trade wise not the it friends. Trump also complains about Canada for helping it dairy industry but the US does it as well.Funny Trump does not mention that when he whines.
Trudeau started the strife with Trump when he went whining on TV about his meeting with Trump, immediately after shaking hands with Trump, and Trump left on Air Force One. With the handshake and cordial reactions, Trudeau made Trump think everything was alright.
Trump is a lowly son of a bitch of a bastard and we Canadians must never ever trade with the US at all ever again. Trump destroyed the friendship and trade that Canada had with the US. Everything is finished now with Canada and the US. Trump caused this along with Putin and N. Korea.
Trump the orange baffoon is going to sink the US further and further into debt. The US is already bankrupt and Trump is going to get the blame for it and there is a great deal more to all of this than what we are being told. Trump is in grave trouble with Putin and other shady and evil leaders like himself. Putin has the goods on him to take him down and throw him in prison. Putin knows a lot of things and is not a former KJB agent for nothing.
Good for Canada, not only we can trade more with other countries, but we also won't have to agree to go wars Americans created to make sure their rich get richer..
Canadians are not fired up. Our Federal govt has little confidence of the people. Our exports are important but Canada exports all over the world. As for imports, prices will be higher and people won’t buy as much.
We've got one... his name is President Donald Trump... the best POTUS in my lifetime. You mean... you want a POTUS that doesn't mind if other countries continue to fleece the U.S.?
Judith Riley neo nazi may be a bit off but he certainly has fascist tendencies. I always saw his stage performances and immediately saw a likeness to Mussolini.
As a Canadian the tariffs on US goods won't hurt by wallet in the slightest, because it's mostly junk food, sugar water, alcohol, and other poisons I don't consume. In a way the tariffs are like a junk food tax.
I also don't buy or need anything from Canada, the United States is completely able to be self-sufficient without any of your electricity or other products. Also you misspelled "my" by doing "by wallet".
Darwins Myth there are no Canadian tarrifs on goods produced in Canada by US owned companies. Canadian tarrifs on US goods are placed on specific goods produced in US imported into Canada. Besides that, why would a US company leave when our dollar and labor is cheap?
My daughter was just in my room a while ago talking about that we will not be affected by the tariffs since we don't consume Yankee garbage. We have our own water (plenty of it) as well as electricity and we have plenty of oil once Trudy gets his head on straight on putting the pipes back in the soil again. We can produce our own things when we want. I can sew and quilt and knit and many other things and don't need any Yankee Doodle garbage at all.
Troy Cyrr yup. They hate us. They think we're all shoe smugglers and that they're going to invade us if we don't let them control our food supply. Whatever happens will happen. I'd rather go down fighting than live under the control of the U.S.
Darwin, he'd said all those things for weeks beforehand. Pres Trump was just twisting the situation for rhetorical public consumption. Trump also was going on a month and a half ago about about a 100 billion trade deficit with canada.. His people later educated him the US has an 8 billion surplus. The part that concerns me -once it's out there- ten yrs from now 10s of million of Americans' will be saying. .
So America should just bend over and take it in the ass because, well, t's America? What's wrong with fair trade? In the words of the great Donald Trump. No deal is better than a bad deal. Just like the Iranian nuclear deal.
"Canada day, a very patriotic day just like our fourth of July, so Canadians are really fired up!" Uhhhmmm fifth gen Canadian here. You proved once again to know nothing of Canadians. No, we don't get as nationalistic and patriotic as Americans. Not the same at all. Our actions are calm, considered and measured. The opposite of Trump.
We Canadians do not boast. July 1 is for families and picnics and some fireworks but we don't go all out and make a big thing out of it. When Trump drops down and dies then yes we Canadians will make July 1 like any other day and we will really celebrate the death of the son of a bitch of the orange baffoon till the cows come home.
We Canadians put a large tarif on Milk products from the US because the US produce their milk with antibiotics. Our milk is produced without antibiotics and that is why we put those high tariffs on your US dairy products.
If U.S. dairy products are that bad, then why does Canada allow any of it to go into their country? The antibiotics is an excuse to hate on the U.S. dairy products.
And Trump doesn`t put tariffs on items he and Ivanka have made and shipped back to the US. Just like he exempted Florida from oil exploring off their coast because Mar a lag is there lol.
I spent 36 year in Canada's navy RCN serving a great deal of that time in ops with USN and this sucks WTF is Donny's problem I thought we were brothers I'm not so sure anymore .
Finally fox news speaking The true Canadian are Best human being in this earth soo kind respectful humble harmless I wish every nation in the world will be like Canadian thank you Canada God bless forever
We Canadians will work together with the rest of the world to bring America to her knees. Get rid of Trump and maybe some day we'll like you again. Maybe.
Do you hate looking into those big cuddly eyes when the club comes down on the back of it's head smashing it's brains out so your grandmother can have a coat? You should see how they handle fish at sea. You'd probably cry lol. The filthy tar sands can't produce oil quick enough for America's insatiable appetite, hence the new pipeline which sends dirty oil to a coal burning dump in exchange for cold hard cash. An actual "art of the deal." Don't forget about our unpopular taxes and regulations we're taking to meet out PA commitments. What companies from Canada do outside Canada is not done with the blessing of Canadians and rarely with the blessing of the government. Our current government would address it but there are too many American-like ideas floating around up here, stinking the place up, so let's wait and see if the right can make things worse here too. Tool.
Thanks to Trump you guys just lost a Harley Davidson sale (and they really need them), bought a Triumph. Plus I'm no longer buying your Bourbon (among other things) it's sad times.....
Some facts for Trumpanzees: we have a trade surplus with Canada, yet we want to have a trade war with our closest ally? Trade wars are ALWAYS bad for everyone.
Just once I would like people who cites the 270% tariff on milk to also include the 350% tariff on tobacco and the more than 160% on shelled peanuts the US imposes on Canada.
That tariff is in response to subsidizing which has caused overproduction. America would otherwise *dump* their subsidized milk here and put our farmers out of work. We don't do it to be pricks...it's not that simple.
Yeah, but it's convenient to ignore the 800 lb gorilla. Don't. talk about the 22 billion in USDA subsidies to dairy or that 73% of the farm gate price fo milk. comesfrom govt welfare. And then there are so many farmers over producin that tens of millions of gallons get poured down the...
Pho, it's typical Trump behavior to reduce an issue to a sound byte that tells his half of the story. And after a generation of Fox news, that's about as complex were able to think... Trump wins. Also no body mentions there's a ceiling where the tarriffs kick in... The US sends 4x as much dairy north than we send South.
since American dairy is massively subsidized maybe we could drop the tariffs on milk if you drop the tariffs on softwood lumber. too easy. i don't promise that any Canadian is ever going to buy American milk rich in added hormones and antibiotics from subsidized factory farming at any price when it is on the shelf with Canadian milk that is held to much higher standards.
American milk is full of puss and other bad impurities and I never purchase such a thing in my entire life. OMG I almost threw up reading it. We purchase cheese made here in Canada and not in the US of Snakes.
Go go Canada make more trade deals with other country's, then not so tied to the USA they can sink. Have their downturns or recessions and Canada will be less and less affected in the end. We should have never tied so much to the usa for trade.
are people still supporting usa hunt for weapons of mass destruction in iraq? or their help to the taliban to fight the dangerous russians? cause i got news for you, and you re not going to believe them
I can't wait for the U.S. to be independent of the world... and see if Canada and Europe can handle an invasion from Russia or China without help from the U.S..
I do hope everyone on this forum realises that there are quite a few trolls on here who just want to stir up trouble. Some Russian, some Chinese and who know where else they come from? So don't take the insults supposedly coming from Canada to the US or the US to Canada very seriously. A few are genuine but most are just trolls from elsewhere who get their kicks trying to stir up trouble between two very old friends. And for the serious trolls from our two countries: Grow up and button your lip unless you have something relevant and helpful to say. We can dig a big hole and think there will be no price to pay, but a brother lost is very hard to win back. And that IS a big price to pay!
Will not travel to US while Trump is still pretend pres for Putin. Stupid pres is not good.A fool to the whole world.Makes Americans look also so dumb and pathetic country.
@Base Man -Year 1939, Canada calls USA [White House]; so we declared War on Germany they just invaded Poland. USA, "call us back". Year 1940, Canada calls USA again. France has just been Invaded by Germany, are you in or out? USA "call us back" Year 1941, Canada calls USA for the last time. England is under attack and is being bombed, and are about to be invaded; you in or out? USA again. "Call us back". [] Canada replies. Hey USA, we kicked Germany's ass all over Europe during WW1, we're tired of waiting for your ass; we'll go it alone... and Canada continues to fight the German's and Canada bring endless supply of Canadian Troops [1Million men] ships of Petrol, ammo, weapons, clothing and food rations to Europe ,England and France's underground movement. months go by, and a news report hits the airwaves, Japan has attacked USA's Pearl Harbor. Later that day,The phone rings at the Prime Minister's residents in Ottawa, Hello Canada it's USA; can we join the War. [] USA doesn't need to protect Canada from anyone, we protect ourselves; and we fight for ourselves and we stand with our allies when they need us. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! So tell me who the FUCK!! Is America protecting Canada from, no one!! Even if you did, you'd just show up 2years late and then take credit that you didn't earn for things you didn't do. America didn't join WW2, America was drawn into the War. FYI, Canada had 400 Nuclear Weapons which was the largest stock pile behind USA and Russia. After Canada, disarmed in 1984; America and Russia followed suit and reduced there active stock piles by 90%. So Canada took the lead and did something that actual protected America by making the World a safer place to live. Go figure!!
First, Americans have been (since the end of Bretton Woods) at a disadvantage in trade because the American dollar, being the international reserve currency, is always overvalued. Second, "free trade" only works where countries can exchange those goods they can produce most economically. It's not meant to be a head to head fight over producing the same goods. Therefore, if Canada and the US want to produce the same goods and sell them to each other, like steel, aluminum, autos, etc., then there's no point trying to get a free trade agreement. That will never work.
Actually, canada has only been losing auto jobs.... Over the last decade canada has lost as many auto jobs as america has, 26% vs 28% losses. Mexico on the other hand has quadrupled it's auto employement in the same time. America has not lost auto jobs to canada, it has lost them to mexico. In 1999 canada was the worlds 4th largest auto manufacturer, today it's dropped down to the worlds 10th largest manufacturer
Pavel, you do know that much of the auto production that use to exist in Detroit has moved to the US south and to a less extent Mexico. Places with lower wages and labour laws that are less union friendly.
There was a motion in Canada to take the USA off the safe countries list but it was squashed in parliament because too many Americans would want to be free and would claim asylum.
We have different brands of mustard and ketchup and I rarely use them but my adult kids eat it. We are not purchasing American products like what we used to since Trump and his gang of bozos are the ones doing the trade war against Canada who is so polite and gentle. That is the thanks that we get for being a good neighbor.
L.m.f.a.o all the business crying about these tariffs makes me laugh didn't thay just get the lowest tax cut in corporate history , the swamp is strong !!!!#
You do know that taxes are paid from benefices, right? Mess up their costs making them uncompetitive and they loose markets and clients. Ofc, the hedge fund managers that produce diddly squat only got the pay back for their bribes, but companies that actually produce, such as that nail factory and Harley D end up screwed... especially their workers, because they don't own stocks... but who cares about workers... certainly not republicans. Yes, the swamp is stronger than ever... that's what you get when your electoral college elects someone born in the swamp.
He represented the USA as an ambassador, and he's talking common sense like a well-informed expert in Canada/US trade. His opinion should be respected.
Onion pealing is getting deeper understanding of a subject. I like pealing onions. And international trade is a onion that needs to be pealed. The USA-Canada dairy trade issues. The facts: 1/ the most recent trade data I can find 2016 ( so far ) is that Canada imported C$969.4 million of dairy products of which $512 came from the USA. 2/ at the same time Canada exported C$235.3 million of which C$116 million went to the USA. 3/ Canada has a net dairy trade deficit of $734million, and a net dairy trade deficit with the USA of C$396 million. So based on that it Is Canada that should be Upset. Note that this trade imbalance happens when Canada has imposed 270% to 300% tariff on imports. From all countries. Not just the USA. So why is this so important to the USA dairy industry? 3 Factors come to play. First the global over supply of dairy products has been getting worse every year. Two important players; European Union, Who protects their farmers from the market glut by increasing inventories of skim milk powder. Which in turn is encourage’s more dairy production. The USA is second contributor the global over supply. However lately they have slowed/ stopped adding to the skim milk powder reserve. Now combine this with the US$20billion in farm subsidies that is paid out to farmers in the USA. The EU does this as well. The USA government actually pays farmers to dump milk in fields. This is not the only source of aid USA farmers get. So why would the USA dairy industry want to manage the supply of milk when they get paid regardless of how much they can sell. The Canadian dairy farmer sells milk to make money and in a managed supply structure, guess what, they get a fair price for their milk. Canadian Dairy farmers do not get government subsidies. So the problem is the USA dairy industry has overgrown the market. As everyone else has except Canada apparently. So what are they going to do? They look around for a market for their milk. I would if I was them. Now the closest market to the big dairy states is.... yah Canada. But wait they have all those tariffs to protect the Canadian Dairy industry. Not Fair they cry. Not fair trade. So when a county has a over supply and wants to ... well dump it somewhere where the price is still great... well that’s not likely to work well with the local folks. In this case The Canadian Dairy Farmer. In another case it is the USA STEEL Workers complaint about cheep China Steel. I have to say this ... the IRONY is strikingly painful. So I said 3 factors. The first is the over supply, the second is the continued growth in an over supplied market. So now for the final factor. Russia invaded Crimea, Russia was a huge export market for EU dairy as well as USA and other exporters. I said was. They where hit with huge trade embargoes, which includes ... Dairy! So the Canadian dairy farmer/ industry who have managed a supply = demand market, already faced with a huge and growing trade imbalances in dairy, with the USA as the major player, now face a dairy industry dumping from all over the world, not just the USA, even with high tariffs. Our Farmers are not happy! Let’s go back to that 5 times trade imbalances of USA trade surplus with Canada in the dairy market. Why can’t Canada increase their sales of dairy to the USA? Well the USA has a form of supply/trade management, in the form of import quotas on dairy. All imports are limited to 3% of the total market. In other words the Canadian dairy farmer can’t because the quota has been reached. Tariffs are just one tool government use to protect their industries. They can use quotas, subsidies, inspection requirements. So who’s right? One more fact. The USA over supply could wipe out the Canadian dairy industry in very short time. Even shorter time with the EU dumping as well. Let’s recap Canada is in a dairy trade deficit with the USA and the rest of the world. ( I think it is the largest contribution to the over all trade deficit with the USA, I need to verify the source). Canada has a managed dairy market to protect farmers from price erosion and allow them to make a fair income. There is a glut of dairy capacity in the rest of the world that is not being managed well. In the case of the EU miss managed might be correct. Does Canada have the right to protect a key component of our food supply? I think yes we do have that right. Why should the Canadian industry suffer for the rest of the worlds over supply? BTW - this happened before... in the 60’s. And that’s why we went to a managed market. Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me. So now for some tit for tat. The USA tariffs on tobacco is guess what 300%. Whipped out an entire Ontario industry. Wonder what they are complaining about? Maybe we should raise the dairy tariffs in Canada to 500%
You sure did your homework and an excellent search that I could not do that well and I give you all the credit. The orange baffoon's business degree is for the toilet and is deceiving the Amerikan public and creating enemies. Trump has to be impeached and if the Amerikan lawmakers don't do this then other things have to happen to get rid of him and he should be put in prison and a nut house since he is creating trouble wherever he goes. No matter who is PM here in Canada Trump the orange baffoon and his administration will cause trouble.
Boycott Trumps hate and stupidness. Travel anywhere but Trumps shithole country .Shithole président is a big stinky POS. Stupid America should be embarrassed. We all are embarrassed for you.The stupid and gullible have done this. Says alot about Americas education and backward mentality .
I am backing Trudy even though I am a Conservative mixture with a little liberal in me. I would take Trudy any day than the orange baffoon Trump that I hate with all my heart and soul and well being. I can't wait for the orange bafoon to drop dead and head to hell with Kuntlowe and Neverone all to turn in hell where they belong.
I do stand behind PM Trudeau even though he is not made for the job I back him. I am voting for another leader later when the elections come up. I never voted for Trudeau and I don't stand for his agenda but I do back him up against the orange son of a bitch of an orange bafoon Trump. Yes Trump is going to cause a global economic depression and I have read that for some time now folks and I wanted to tell all of you that and I mentioned that elsewhere and it is going to happen. The entire world is going to collapse financially and I knew that for a long time and it doesn't frighten me since I don't have a house to pay for or anything - I rent this little tiny show box and I want to see Trump dead as soon as possible.
Every country protects their agriculture sector because you do not offshore your food supply or else be held hostage (this happened with disastrous results in Africa)
If we have fair trade. Then there should be no tariff. Have to have fair and balanced trade.stop all trade with the Chinese government evil director ship
How is limiting the amount of incoming resources that OUR manufacturer's and businesses need to compete, infuriating our allies-- increasing foreign tariffs and import taxes ON US GOODS, good for American business or American workers?
Why should American citizens have to pay more in tariffs and they don't? That really is the point. We are being ripped off. It should be even. This has been going on a long time. We are being taken advantage of and its bad business. They are taxing us more, both incoming and outgoing...how is that right?
We just want fair trade. Comply or get out of the way. We don't need your milk. The whole point is get our Farmers more business. How many jobs in Canada rely on US goods? Play fair or deal.
I don't think you understand this at all. Canada doesn't try to sell milk to america...... The american government gives the dairy industry heavily subsidies so that american produces make more milk than they can sell, so they have excess that they want to dump in canada. The canadian dairy industry is designed to produce as much milk as canada needs, and no more. It is not designed for export. There is a reason why america has a trade surplus with canada on dairy despite the tariff. Canada simply isn't trying to sell milk to the usa.
Darwins Myth-----No, but since you brought it up. We're progressive while the USA are led by a neanderthal. USA is drunk and high on prescription meds, meth and fentynyl. Canada: Everything the USA pretends to be and the envy of the world! Back to your cave with you!
The US never pretended to be progressive..the US has always been mixed which has benefited them countless times. Countries that stick to one ideology and never thinks to try something different are fucked. Canada needs to start being more conservative if it want's to survive and actually matter.
King Boo-----we don't try to matter to anyone. We are always at or near the top of EVERY best country to live in list. USA is rarely in the top 10. Talk is cheap. We are everything the USA always said it was, but wasn't!
The people have changed, you keep saying Canadians. It’s Canada ! But what do the people believe in anymore ? President Trump also said “ok, how about no tariffs, real fair trade. Everyone Shut Up.
To sensible thinking Americans, remember Canada is but one nation there are some ten to fifteen other countries slapping tariffs on just one nation, the United States. So many more exported products will face price increases via tariffs to the point no one will buy them. China is already trying to circumvent the US with trading agreements. Maybe you can trade with your so-called enemies, (North Korea) because you killed the relationship with your friends around the world. Great again and very lonely!
The United States needs to put on a 270 percent tax on cars coming from Canada to the U.S. . The factories will close down and come to the U.S.more good paying jobs for U.S. citizens.
Really why is it that economic people in Canada are saying that this could be the death of the Canadian car industry. They say that Canada sell many more cars to the U.S. than they buy from the U.S. They are afraid that Ford, G.M.C. ,and Chrysler will close their Canada factories and move back to the U.S.
glenn yoder - The reason is North American auto manufacturing has a complex manufacturing supply chain. A car assembled in one country may be using an engine assembled in another country and a transmission from yet another plant. That engine is a made up of parts from yet other factories. The parts are made from more parts from yet another factory and so on. When you change an assembly line from one model to another your down for months for that reason Ford will build all the Focus cars on one line, all the GT on another line. To make this all work there is lots of parts traveling back and forth. All these tariffs do is made "North 'American" into an noncompetitive market relative to Japan, Europe or Korea.
Ok their are 360 million Americans and 36 million Canadians who will a trade war hurt more,. The only country I care about is the U.S. I care about no other country.
Ignorant retards trying to understand trade. Fucking useless cunts. Bottom line is Canada is the best trading partner the USA ever had or ever will have. Now the USA is fucking the whole thing up.
Actually they didn't show the most important items like 70% of your uranium for you nuclear centrals and your bombs come from Canada. Even our coal that power your coal powered centrals come mostly from Canada not to mention we will stop importing our medical drugs and our petrol that goes in the USA to get "refined" ! So yes you are uneducated and yes the USA is in deepshit... But the orange orangutan will make his sheep believe whatever he want ! Spitting in the face of a 200 years ally. Goodjob !
Donna Massey you would fucking loose. China and India would wipe the US off the planet by their sheer ability to work and live with nothing. Americans would crumble the first time they couldn’t afford to stuff their maws with a Big Mac
Buying American goods supports pedophilia since 10 year old child brides are legal in many states with no minimum marraige laws like tennessee. Boycott USA.
Economically speaking placing tariffs on Canada or Mexico is like placing tariffs on the US economy because of the tight economic integration that exists across the border. Some analyst put figures of some vehicles costing about $10,000 more if these auto tariff threats come to be. It's a self inflicted wound that will make untold damage on all sides of the border. 35 States have Canada as the number 1 trading partner, 4 States have Mexico as the number 1 trading partner including California and Texas. Plus the US is starting trade wars with the EU, China, India, and etc... US can do that but strategically it's about the worst tactic ever. Ideally you single out one bad actor, build a coalition and make a targeted focused set of tariffs to get them to the negotiating table. This trade war lacks strategy and is so diffuse that it becomes 1 nation against like 10 ... it'll only force allies like EU, Canada, and Mexico to go towards China and Russia for trade which furthermore hurts the US trade policy because you lose customers you could trade with to economic adversaries. It makes zero sense and has zero plan other than to intentionally damage the US economy. America reign in your clown President; he is destroying the Atlantic order built out of the ashes of WW2 and has kept the peace for Western oriented nations. I'm beginning to wonder if he truly is a Siberian candidate ... Mueller the world waits with bated breath for your conclusion.
A great negotiator never shows his weakness to his enemies this is why I ordered the embassy to send the strong signal in support on human rights on prosperity to Canada on Canada day. Some people are talking Rodman...well guess what folks...fake news....I’m not saying that they should with the peace prize, but just look what I accomplished with only a few had shakes and photo ops with the little guy. He has my deepest respect....just a great leader.....loves his people. This is why I have ordered our 26,000 missiles to turn 90 degrees north....we can’t just allow the Canadians to continue to screw us up you know where ...its a sore spot.....we can’t allow the Canadians and their week and dishonest leadership to continue to shaft us with the stiff one and take advantage of us..... America is great .our people are great ..our military is great ...just look at what are accomplishing with our special operations forces in 134 countries were in today, with our great combat and special military missions, our military is great ..our military men and woman are great at getting world peace for everyone. No fake news here, believe me folks next election I’m going to make America great again and guess what folks ...we are going to build a long wall at the Canadian border and guess what folks ....the Canadians are going to pay for it..its about time we stopped them from shafting us ..America is great believe me...God bless America ...that’s all folks ... time for my afternoon twitter.
Well enjoy getting steel from all those resources the US has!!! and every other products they can make do without Canada!!! We will sit back, relax and enjoy the next year!!! or 10. Sadly Made in America used to say something, now it is all only packaged in the USA but all made in China!! Good luck with that!!! Canada should really start importing more and more EU cars, Asian cars etc they have decent cars and reasonably prices also on the low end and mid ranged. We were supposed to get a Peugeot plant in Québec, better think about this now and get rid of the US cars. Get more competition on the car market and get better prices too.
You haven't been paying attention. The U.S. has been punched for years with high tariffs... some worse than others. Level the tariffs out. How about 0% tariffs which Trump favors, but so-called allies still don't want to play on a level playing field.
"The U.S. has been 'punched' for years with high tariffs." Really? www.cnbc.com/2017/02/23/trump-cant-find-any-us-trade-surpluses-here-you-go-mr-president.html
You do realize.... I as a Canadian citizen... try to buy Canadian first U.S second and then maybe I go to wal-mart and buy Chinese. So... our tariffs on dairy... is because we want our big food production companies up here to use Canadian milk. We support Canadian farmers before your farmers... but second is better than third. And be real..... California has more people than all of Canada’s population. So how much can we really consume???
Canada, And The U.K. Need To Join The CANZUK Union.. The Sooner The Better.Lets Have A Strong British Commonwealth.. Less Trade With The USA..More Trade With The British Commonwealth Counties With Each Other..
WHY would we drop tarrifs on dairy? It would crush our own dairy industry. Americans need to get it in their thick heads that Canada is not there to just comply with their every needs and demands.
As a Canadian this is a good thing. Canada needs to trade less with the USA and more with eu and asia. Better that we diversify.
Oasis S. As an American I agree.
We need to buy fewer good made in the US.
We need to trade more with Asia we can send our steel to China
hillbilly beer dranker yeah. Our long time partner is abusing us right now and divorce isn’t an option. Guess we’ll have to cheat with an asian or European.
hillbilly beer dranker Canada doesn't need the U.S. when we got Europe and Asia
To fellow Canadians: There have been reports of sales reps visiting Canadian appliance stores and taking off Made in U.S.A labels from their products. If you are shopping and you're unsure where the product is made, ask. Buy Canadian; if you can't find a Canadian alternative, go for the Korean, Japanese or European option. If it's American made, leave it on the self.
As a Canadian it is very simple for me. I have cancelled my travel plans down south, I no longer visit American owned restaurants here, I avoid where at all possible an American product for which there is a Canadian equivalent. I'm not at war with the U.S., but my allegiance is to my own country and as long as my country is being unfairly attacked, even if by a close friend, I will stand by its side and defend its interest for myself and future generations.
I have mixed feelings about this. Trump is an aberration, we all know that. I don't know how fair it is to punish people who didn't vote for him and very likely detest him more than we do.
I second that and have been doing this long before this insanity happened. We never go to the US of Snakes at all and never will. We are finished with the US of snakes forever.
Wait, what?? Common sense and real facts on Fox!! What sorcery is this?
must be some of their interest affected by trump policy.
New CEO at fox ,trying to pull back from the lies as its losing them millions in advertising revenue.
Naah, no worries, once in a blue moon they have such a segment and then head straight back to "talibans are building a nuclear mosque in london, targeted at the US, using alien materials provided by soros and hillary!!!!!!!"
snafujag100 I was shocked as well
Astounding. Just imagine they'd keep that up...
If Trump is putting tariffs on Canadian steel for security reasons maybe Trump should stop taking Canadian pot ash, Uranium,electricity ,Gas Oil ,, iron-ore and nickel and many other natural resources Canada supplies the USA with ,
Trump can shove the pot ash up where the sun doesn't shine. That dirty son of a bitch is the world's trouble maker and very dangerous. The orange baffoon is the danger to the entire world - he is NUTS TO THE CORE.
America has officially gone nuts. This gentleman has great class. Too bad no one in the Trump administration has an ounce.
Aside from the nasty ignorant comments below, I commend FOX for presenting a fair report. Unfortunately Trump supporters seem to be no friend of Canada, and a wicked recession is coming for both countries. Canada did not pick this fight, and it sure seems like a sucker punch by the US.
You didn't pay attention when Trudeau backstabbed Trump after leaving from a cordial handshake. Trump will not do that again... Trudeau can't be trusted.
Slap them Canada... the rest of the world is doing the same. Btw, US, we can all get back to actually working on our economies once you jail that orange pile of swamp.
If the dairy tariffs come down, a patriotic Canadian would never purchase an American dairy product no matter how cheap it is. Americans should support their own farmers like Canadians do.
Since the US president is busy acting like a spoiled big brother, the Canadians should simply turn off the electricity that powers the majority of the East coast!!
We are smarter than that - that would hurt predominantly blue states. We are targetting with our tariffs mainly red states - Trump country. Hitting Trumptards where it hurts them the most - their wallets.
Agnostic, very good point, this is a game of Risk
Canada will do what it needs to do. They will not disgrace the Queen of Canada. They will survive and well. They won't be intimidated by the "Northern Mexicans" as they sometimes call the people of the US.
Trump started it. As a Canadian I am glad we are standing up to him. Trump is so clueless on how trade works. I do feel sad for the American workers this will effect. Trump needs to focus on the countries who are harming the US trade wise not the it friends. Trump also complains about Canada for helping it dairy industry but the US does it as well.Funny Trump does not mention that when he whines.
Trudeau started the strife with Trump when he went whining on TV about his meeting with Trump, immediately after shaking hands with Trump, and Trump left on Air Force One. With the handshake and cordial reactions, Trudeau made Trump think everything was alright.
Canada First!
He probably doesn't even know. He is incapable of reading or learning, but good at crime. Great pres.
Trump is a lowly son of a bitch of a bastard and we Canadians must never ever trade with the US at all ever again. Trump destroyed the friendship and trade that Canada had with the US. Everything is finished now with Canada and the US. Trump caused this along with Putin and N. Korea.
Way to go Canada - I love being Canadian . Trump will sink America even deeper and they will lose jobs.
Clown for president , you get a circus, destruction and all out bizzare.
Trump the orange baffoon is going to sink the US further and further into debt. The US is already bankrupt and Trump is going to get the blame for it and there is a great deal more to all of this than what we are being told. Trump is in grave trouble with Putin and other shady and evil leaders like himself. Putin has the goods on him to take him down and throw him in prison. Putin knows a lot of things and is not a former KJB agent for nothing.
Good for Canada, not only we can trade more with other countries, but we also won't have to agree to go wars Americans created to make sure their rich get richer..
Canadians are not fired up. Our Federal govt has little confidence of the people. Our exports are important but Canada exports all over the world. As for imports, prices will be higher and people won’t buy as much.
We purchase very little in my household and others are falling suit as well. The hell with the US to treat us like that.
Just get a sane person running the US again
We've got one... his name is President Donald Trump... the best POTUS in my lifetime. You mean... you want a POTUS that doesn't mind if other countries continue to fleece the U.S.?
Darwins Myth : US is the world's biggest economy. That would suggest that it exports to other countries.
Carl Helbert : oh, you liked your own post. That's nice
Judith Riley neo nazi may be a bit off but he certainly has fascist tendencies. I always saw his stage performances and immediately saw a likeness to Mussolini.
They can't. There's a rule the president has to be American.
As a Canadian the tariffs on US goods won't hurt by wallet in the slightest, because it's mostly junk food, sugar water, alcohol, and other poisons I don't consume. In a way the tariffs are like a junk food tax.
LumberOne haha agreed. Even the coffee tariff...we buy fair trade coffee in our house and none of that money goes through American corporations.
I also don't buy or need anything from Canada, the United States is completely able to be self-sufficient without any of your electricity or other products. Also you misspelled "my" by doing "by wallet".
If the U.S. companies leave Canada, the unemployment will sky rocket. We'll see how much Canadians will like that.
Darwins Myth there are no Canadian tarrifs on goods produced in Canada by US owned companies. Canadian tarrifs on US goods are placed on specific goods produced in US imported into Canada. Besides that, why would a US company leave when our dollar and labor is cheap?
My daughter was just in my room a while ago talking about that we will not be affected by the tariffs since we don't consume Yankee garbage. We have our own water (plenty of it) as well as electricity and we have plenty of oil once Trudy gets his head on straight on putting the pipes back in the soil again. We can produce our own things when we want. I can sew and quilt and knit and many other things and don't need any Yankee Doodle garbage at all.
A lot of American hate towards Canada, if it really came down to it the whole world would come to Canada’s aid. Can you say the same
Troy Cyrr yup. They hate us. They think we're all shoe smugglers and that they're going to invade us if we don't let them control our food supply.
Whatever happens will happen. I'd rather go down fighting than live under the control of the U.S.
Trudeau shot the first salvo after President Trump left on the plane. Backstabber Justin Trudeau...
Correct . Best country in the world.
Darwin, he'd said all those things for weeks beforehand. Pres Trump was just twisting the situation for rhetorical public consumption. Trump also was going on a month and a half ago about about a 100 billion trade deficit with canada.. His people later educated him the US has an 8 billion surplus.
The part that concerns me -once it's out there- ten yrs from now 10s of million of Americans' will be saying. .
So America should just bend over and take it in the ass because, well, t's America? What's wrong with fair trade? In the words of the great Donald Trump. No deal is better than a bad deal. Just like the Iranian nuclear deal.
"Canada day, a very patriotic day just like our fourth of July, so Canadians are really fired up!" Uhhhmmm fifth gen Canadian here. You proved once again to know nothing of Canadians. No, we don't get as nationalistic and patriotic as Americans. Not the same at all. Our actions are calm, considered and measured. The opposite of Trump.
We Canadians do not boast. July 1 is for families and picnics and some fireworks but we don't go all out and make a big thing out of it. When Trump drops down and dies then yes we Canadians will make July 1 like any other day and we will really celebrate the death of the son of a bitch of the orange baffoon till the cows come home.
We Canadians put a large tarif on Milk products from the US because the US produce their milk with antibiotics. Our milk is produced without antibiotics and that is why we put those high tariffs on your US dairy products.
Don't forget two words that the USA doesn't want to talk about "farm subsidies"
If U.S. dairy products are that bad, then why does Canada allow any of it to go into their country? The antibiotics is an excuse to hate on the U.S. dairy products.
Darwins Myth no it's to counter the billions of subsidies the US gives its dairy farmers.
Avenue of through:
Why don't the Yanks simulate the Canadian system as it is far superior and your own farmers would prefer it!
Nope , we know what we are doing ...
ne1cup No you don't because you have no market.
As a businessman you plan sucks!
I love how trumps products aren't made in America lol !!!
So why is the world, supposedly, so mad at President Trump *IF* all his products are made by them?
Hypocrisy.
Heard of it?
I love the butt hurt you two showing. Clearly your rebuttal wasn't on the same line.
And Trump doesn`t put tariffs on items he and Ivanka have made and shipped back to the US. Just like he exempted Florida from oil exploring off their coast because Mar a lag is there lol.
NEITHER ARE THIS WORKERS AT THIS GOLF COURSES
I spent 36 year in Canada's navy RCN serving a great deal of that time in ops with USN and this sucks WTF is Donny's problem I thought we were brothers I'm not so sure anymore .
Trudeau should have thought of his "brother" before he backstabbed Trump when he was leaving on Air Force One.
'Darwin's Myth? I grant you all the credibility that your creationist username suggests you deserve.
Donny is a big cry baby
Wrong post
Read news paper PM Trudeau only repeated what had been said prior to the G7 and the Yanks started all this BS with section 232 security my ass
Finally fox news speaking The true Canadian are Best human being in this earth soo kind respectful humble harmless I wish every nation in the world will be like Canadian thank you Canada God bless forever
We Canadians will work together with the rest of the world to bring America to her knees.
Get rid of Trump and maybe some day we'll like you again. Maybe.
What's up isn't a question. Moron.
Do you hate looking into those big cuddly eyes when the club comes down on the back of it's head smashing it's brains out so your grandmother can have a coat? You should see how they handle fish at sea. You'd probably cry lol.
The filthy tar sands can't produce oil quick enough for America's insatiable appetite, hence the new pipeline which sends dirty oil to a coal burning dump in exchange for cold hard cash. An actual "art of the deal." Don't forget about our unpopular taxes and regulations we're taking to meet out PA commitments.
What companies from Canada do outside Canada is not done with the blessing of Canadians and rarely with the blessing of the government. Our current government would address it but there are too many American-like ideas floating around up here, stinking the place up, so let's wait and see if the right can make things worse here too.
Tool.
Nobody tortures baby animals. We club seals, you slaughter children in their schools. I'm not accusing you of torturing them.
Dick.
Thanks to Trump you guys just lost a Harley Davidson sale (and they really need them), bought a Triumph. Plus I'm no longer buying your Bourbon (among other things) it's sad times.....
Some facts for Trumpanzees: we have a trade surplus with Canada, yet we want to have a trade war with our closest ally? Trade wars are ALWAYS bad for everyone.
You Trumpanzees really are deplorable. Racist, Jew-hating, gay-despising, uneducated, low-IQd mouth-breathers.
Thanks for making my point for me.
Just once I would like people who cites the 270% tariff on milk to also include the 350% tariff on tobacco and the more than 160% on shelled peanuts the US imposes on Canada.
And also the reason why that 270% tariff exists.
That tariff is in response to subsidizing which has caused overproduction. America would otherwise *dump* their subsidized milk here and put our farmers out of work. We don't do it to be pricks...it's not that simple.
Yeah, but it's convenient to ignore the 800 lb gorilla. Don't. talk about the 22 billion in USDA subsidies to dairy or that 73% of the farm gate price fo milk. comesfrom govt welfare. And then there are so many farmers over producin that tens of millions of gallons get poured down the...
Stop smokin everyone plain an simple
Pho, it's typical Trump behavior to reduce an issue to a sound byte that tells his half of the story. And after a generation of Fox news, that's about as complex were able to think... Trump wins.
Also no body mentions there's a ceiling where the tarriffs kick in... The US sends 4x as much dairy north than we send South.
Believe me.... it’s closer to 100% of Canadians oppose the American tariffs lol
since American dairy is massively subsidized maybe we could drop the tariffs on milk if you drop the tariffs on softwood lumber. too easy. i don't promise that any Canadian is ever going to buy American milk rich in added hormones and antibiotics from subsidized factory farming at any price when it is on the shelf with Canadian milk that is held to much higher standards.
American milk is full of puss and other bad impurities and I never purchase such a thing in my entire life. OMG I almost threw up reading it. We purchase cheese made here in Canada and not in the US of Snakes.
Go go Canada make more trade deals with other country's, then not so tied to the USA they can sink. Have their downturns or recessions and Canada will be less and less affected in the end. We should have never tied so much to the usa for trade.
Eddy Kardash exactly. We took a hit during their banking crisis. We are overexposed.
Boycott All American Products.
we do not export anything you could afford
are people still supporting usa hunt for weapons of mass destruction in iraq? or their help to the taliban to fight the dangerous russians? cause i got news for you, and you re not going to believe them
I can't wait for the U.S. to be independent of the world... and see if Canada and Europe can handle an invasion from Russia or China without help from the U.S..
Darwins Myth You don’t get it. Having the US supplying the protection serves the US interest. Imagine Russia as your neighbor.
to hurt Trumps voters?
Smart man Canada was always a good neighbor
Canada day isn’t our version on Independence Day. We didn’t completely separate ourselves from the UK.
I do hope everyone on this forum realises that there are quite a few trolls on here who just want to stir up trouble. Some Russian, some Chinese and who know where else they come from?
So don't take the insults supposedly coming from Canada to the US or the US to Canada very seriously. A few are genuine but most are just trolls from elsewhere who get their kicks trying to stir up trouble between two very old friends.
And for the serious trolls from our two countries: Grow up and button your lip unless you have something relevant and helpful to say. We can dig a big hole and think there will be no price to pay, but a brother lost is very hard to win back. And that IS a big price to pay!
Todd Sauve Well said!
Let 'em. We just won't buy their stuff.
Fair trade for all.thats all.fair trade.we pay the American's military protection for Canadian people and government cost the American's billions
We are all boycotting us products since trump emerged on the scene
Boycott every American based company in Canada and watch Canada's unemployment rate skyrocket. Good luck!
I have been trying to as well. Makes me feel I am doing something.
Ung Grabb
Won't hurt is at all
Will not travel to US while Trump is still pretend pres for Putin. Stupid pres is not good.A fool to the whole world.Makes Americans look also so dumb and pathetic country.
@Base Man -Year 1939, Canada calls USA [White House]; so we declared War on Germany they just invaded Poland. USA, "call us back". Year 1940, Canada calls USA again. France has just been Invaded by Germany, are you in or out? USA "call us back" Year 1941, Canada calls USA for the last time. England is under attack and is being bombed, and are about to be invaded; you in or out? USA again. "Call us back". [] Canada replies. Hey USA, we kicked Germany's ass all over Europe during WW1, we're tired of waiting for your ass; we'll go it alone... and Canada continues to fight the German's and Canada bring endless supply of Canadian Troops [1Million men] ships of Petrol, ammo, weapons, clothing and food rations to Europe ,England and France's underground movement. months go by, and a news report hits the airwaves, Japan has attacked USA's Pearl Harbor. Later that day,The phone rings at the Prime Minister's residents in Ottawa, Hello Canada it's USA; can we join the War. [] USA doesn't need to protect Canada from anyone, we protect ourselves; and we fight for ourselves and we stand with our allies when they need us. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! So tell me who the FUCK!! Is America protecting Canada from, no one!! Even if you did, you'd just show up 2years late and then take credit that you didn't earn for things you didn't do. America didn't join WW2, America was drawn into the War. FYI, Canada had 400 Nuclear Weapons which was the largest stock pile behind USA and Russia. After Canada, disarmed in 1984; America and Russia followed suit and reduced there active stock piles by 90%. So Canada took the lead and did something that actual protected America by making the World a safer place to live. Go figure!!
Sad, Donald Trump, to quarrel with your closest neighbour. Thumbs down!.
First, Americans have been (since the end of Bretton Woods) at a disadvantage in trade because the American dollar, being the international reserve currency, is always overvalued. Second, "free trade" only works where countries can exchange those goods they can produce most economically. It's not meant to be a head to head fight over producing the same goods. Therefore, if Canada and the US want to produce the same goods and sell them to each other, like steel, aluminum, autos, etc., then there's no point trying to get a free trade agreement. That will never work.
What about cars that are made in Canada? All the jobs that went there, drive through Detroit snd see abandoned factories. Bring it back home.
Actually, canada has only been losing auto jobs.... Over the last decade canada has lost as many auto jobs as america has, 26% vs 28% losses. Mexico on the other hand has quadrupled it's auto employement in the same time. America has not lost auto jobs to canada, it has lost them to mexico. In 1999 canada was the worlds 4th largest auto manufacturer, today it's dropped down to the worlds 10th largest manufacturer
Waldo - Soon to be 100th!
Pavel, you do know that much of the auto production that use to exist in Detroit has moved to the US south and to a less extent Mexico. Places with lower wages and labour laws that are less union friendly.
Michel Deroy my chrysler 300 and most of chrysler chevy made in canada, european cars made in mexico,
Robert Kubrick keep telling that to your self.
Half of Americans don't even know where Canada is lol
True, they think we live in igloos and it’s always cold! Lol
2008 is closer and closer every day.
This time it will be closer to 1929.
There was a motion in Canada to take the USA off the safe countries list but it was squashed in parliament because too many Americans would want to be free and would claim asylum.
We have different brands of mustard and ketchup and I rarely use them but my adult kids eat it. We are not purchasing American products like what we used to since Trump and his gang of bozos are the ones doing the trade war against Canada who is so polite and gentle. That is the thanks that we get for being a good neighbor.
L.m.f.a.o all the business crying about these tariffs makes me laugh didn't thay just get the lowest tax cut in corporate history , the swamp is strong !!!!#
You do know that taxes are paid from benefices, right? Mess up their costs making them uncompetitive and they loose markets and clients. Ofc, the hedge fund managers that produce diddly squat only got the pay back for their bribes, but companies that actually produce, such as that nail factory and Harley D end up screwed... especially their workers, because they don't own stocks... but who cares about workers... certainly not republicans.
Yes, the swamp is stronger than ever... that's what you get when your electoral college elects someone born in the swamp.
Is this guy representing Canada or the U.S?
Jessy Caballero Trudeau no eyebrows give his Legions to the queen and not the people Canadian people Trudeau is ripping you off
He represented the USA as an ambassador, and he's talking common sense like a well-informed expert in Canada/US trade. His opinion should be respected.
IKR? It's like Americans hate their own country.
Onion pealing is getting deeper understanding of a subject. I like pealing onions.
And international trade is a onion that needs to be pealed.
The USA-Canada dairy trade issues.
The facts:
1/ the most recent trade data I can find 2016 ( so far ) is that Canada imported C$969.4 million of dairy products of which $512 came from the USA.
2/ at the same time Canada exported C$235.3 million of which C$116 million went to the USA.
3/ Canada has a net dairy trade deficit of $734million, and a net dairy trade deficit with the USA of C$396 million.
So based on that it Is Canada that should be Upset. Note that this trade imbalance happens when Canada has imposed 270% to 300% tariff on imports. From all countries. Not just the USA.
So why is this so important to the USA dairy industry?
3 Factors come to play. First the global over supply of dairy products has been getting worse every year. Two important players; European Union, Who protects their farmers from the market glut by increasing inventories of skim milk powder. Which in turn is encourage’s more dairy production. The USA is second contributor the global over supply. However lately they have slowed/ stopped adding to the skim milk powder reserve.
Now combine this with the US$20billion in farm subsidies that is paid out to farmers in the USA. The EU does this as well. The USA government actually pays farmers to dump milk in fields. This is not the only source of aid USA farmers get. So why would the USA dairy industry want to manage the supply of milk when they get paid regardless of how much they can sell.
The Canadian dairy farmer sells milk to make money and in a managed supply structure, guess what, they get a fair price for their milk. Canadian Dairy farmers do not get government subsidies.
So the problem is the USA dairy industry has overgrown the market. As everyone else has except Canada apparently. So what are they going to do? They look around for a market for their milk. I would if I was them. Now the closest market to the big dairy states is.... yah Canada. But wait they have all those tariffs to protect the Canadian Dairy industry. Not Fair they cry. Not fair trade.
So when a county has a over supply and wants to ... well dump it somewhere where the price is still great... well that’s not likely to work well with the local folks. In this case The Canadian Dairy Farmer.
In another case it is the USA STEEL Workers complaint about cheep China Steel.
I have to say this ... the IRONY is strikingly painful.
So I said 3 factors. The first is the over supply, the second is the continued growth in an over supplied market. So now for the final factor.
Russia invaded Crimea, Russia was a huge export market for EU dairy as well as USA and other exporters. I said was. They where hit with huge trade embargoes, which includes ... Dairy!
So the Canadian dairy farmer/ industry who have managed a supply = demand market, already faced with a huge and growing trade imbalances in dairy, with the USA as the major player, now face a dairy industry dumping from all over the world, not just the USA, even with high tariffs. Our Farmers are not happy!
Let’s go back to that 5 times trade imbalances of USA trade surplus with Canada in the dairy market. Why can’t Canada increase their sales of dairy to the USA?
Well the USA has a form of supply/trade management, in the form of import quotas on dairy. All imports are limited to 3% of the total market. In other words the Canadian dairy farmer can’t because the quota has been reached.
Tariffs are just one tool government use to protect their industries. They can use quotas, subsidies, inspection requirements.
So who’s right?
One more fact. The USA over supply could wipe out the Canadian dairy industry in very short time. Even shorter time with the EU dumping as well.
Let’s recap
Canada is in a dairy trade deficit with the USA and the rest of the world. ( I think it is the largest contribution to the over all trade deficit with the USA, I need to verify the source).
Canada has a managed dairy market to protect farmers from price erosion and allow them to make a fair income.
There is a glut of dairy capacity in the rest of the world that is not being managed well. In the case of the EU miss managed might be correct.
Does Canada have the right to protect a key component of our food supply?
I think yes we do have that right. Why should the Canadian industry suffer for the rest of the worlds over supply?
BTW - this happened before... in the 60’s. And that’s why we went to a managed market.
Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me.
So now for some tit for tat. The USA tariffs on tobacco is guess what 300%. Whipped out an entire Ontario industry.
Wonder what they are complaining about? Maybe we should raise the dairy tariffs in Canada to 500%
Trump Doing The Putin Dance. Screw with USA friends. Isolate US from its supports in the world. Trump is following his orders.
You sure did your homework and an excellent search that I could not do that well and I give you all the credit. The orange baffoon's business degree is for the toilet and is deceiving the Amerikan public and creating enemies. Trump has to be impeached and if the Amerikan lawmakers don't do this then other things have to happen to get rid of him and he should be put in prison and a nut house since he is creating trouble wherever he goes. No matter who is PM here in Canada Trump the orange baffoon and his administration will cause trouble.
Looking hard at what I buy everyday to ensure that its not American. Winter in Mexico this year and a middle finger to most of the commenters below.
Boycott Trumps hate and stupidness. Travel anywhere but Trumps shithole country .Shithole président is a big stinky POS. Stupid America should be embarrassed. We all are embarrassed for you.The stupid and gullible have done this. Says alot about Americas education and backward mentality .
Love Americans. Hate Trump. -Canada.
Canada back ur premier our leader an don't let usa pick on us
I am backing Trudy even though I am a Conservative mixture with a little liberal in me. I would take Trudy any day than the orange baffoon Trump that I hate with all my heart and soul and well being. I can't wait for the orange bafoon to drop dead and head to hell with Kuntlowe and Neverone all to turn in hell where they belong.
I do stand behind PM Trudeau even though he is not made for the job I back him. I am voting for another leader later when the elections come up. I never voted for Trudeau and I don't stand for his agenda but I do back him up against the orange son of a bitch of an orange bafoon Trump. Yes Trump is going to cause a global economic depression and I have read that for some time now folks and I wanted to tell all of you that and I mentioned that elsewhere and it is going to happen. The entire world is going to collapse financially and I knew that for a long time and it doesn't frighten me since I don't have a house to pay for or anything - I rent this little tiny show box and I want to see Trump dead as soon as possible.
I am so tired of hearing about these dairy tariffs. Have a look at the us tariffs on Canadian peanuts and tobacco it's huge
President Trump would like to have 0% tariffs, but nobody wants to do them. Couldn't real friends start with 0% tariffs and work from there?
Every country protects their agriculture sector because you do not offshore your food supply or else be held hostage (this happened with disastrous results in Africa)
Using our Leverage economically..........
Bravo Bruce Heyman, thank you very much for your mature, calm, honest interview.
Trump now found his match. A President of of Canada would no kow tow the emperor with no clothing.. HA ha ha. Go Canadians. We support you.
we can live with that,support local buy local!!!
If we have fair trade. Then there should be no tariff. Have to have fair and balanced trade.stop all trade with the Chinese government evil director ship
Way to Go Canada!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
From a Canadian; Nicely said. We are family. Always have been, always will be.
Hahaha. We're your #1 buyer. You have a surplus with us. Don't bite the hand that buys your stuff
How is limiting the amount of incoming resources that OUR manufacturer's and businesses need to compete, infuriating our allies-- increasing foreign tariffs and import taxes ON US GOODS, good for American business or American workers?
Why should American citizens have to pay more in tariffs and they don't? That really is the point. We are being ripped off. It should be even. This has been going on a long time. We are being taken advantage of and its bad business. They are taxing us more, both incoming and outgoing...how is that right?
Its time for fair and even trade. We can't keep paying their tariff while we had nothing on them.
We lose 150 BILLION on trade - that’s BIL-LI-ON - how in the hell did we get into all of these one way relationships?
FREE TRADE IS BOTH WAYS. CANADA HAS BEEN TAXING US MORE. FREE TRADE NOT FOOL TRADE.. BE SMART!
Chill dude.. free trade means FREE both ways. Not one sided. Be smart. Rude words won't win you any arguments period!
We just want fair trade. Comply or get out of the way. We don't need your milk. The whole point is get our Farmers more business. How many jobs in Canada rely on US goods? Play fair or deal.
I don't think you understand this at all. Canada doesn't try to sell milk to america...... The american government gives the dairy industry heavily subsidies so that american produces make more milk than they can sell, so they have excess that they want to dump in canada. The canadian dairy industry is designed to produce as much milk as canada needs, and no more. It is not designed for export.
There is a reason why america has a trade surplus with canada on dairy despite the tariff. Canada simply isn't trying to sell milk to the usa.
explain to us how bad of a deal is it now again?
Free trade was not a big thing before the 80's Just go back to square one
So nice, to hear actual real talk on FOX. If Fox was like this more often I would watch it....This is how media should be, considerate and respectful.
Congress should pass a law voter has to have a college degree. Trumpets to this day does not understand everything Trump does is for Russia.
Mai tia Vue you have a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome.
CANADA ROCKS!!
You mean, Canada is stoned.
Darwins Myth-----No, but since you brought it up. We're progressive while the USA are led by a neanderthal. USA is drunk and high on prescription meds, meth and fentynyl. Canada: Everything the USA pretends to be and the envy of the world! Back to your cave with you!
The US never pretended to be progressive..the US has always been mixed which has benefited them countless times. Countries that stick to one ideology and never thinks to try something different are fucked. Canada needs to start being more conservative if it want's to survive and actually matter.
U.S. Gay Power. Keep it in your pants, gay boy. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Hahaha!! Putz!! Your country is in a shambles!!
King Boo-----we don't try to matter to anyone. We are always at or near the top of EVERY best country to live in list. USA is rarely in the top 10. Talk is cheap. We are everything the USA always said it was, but wasn't!
The people have changed, you keep saying Canadians.
It’s Canada ! But what do the people believe in anymore ?
President Trump also said “ok, how about no tariffs, real fair trade.
Everyone Shut Up.
We would be fine with no tariffs, as long as the US stops it's subsidies to it's farmers and drops all of it protectionist trade actions.
Canada just needs to shut off the oil for a week. Yanks system would shut down.
Oil as well as electricity. I sure do remember the 98 ice storm and we went primitive and we had a house with a wood stove in the basement.
To sensible thinking Americans, remember Canada is but one nation there are some ten to fifteen other countries slapping tariffs on just one nation, the United States. So many more exported products will face price increases via tariffs to the point no one will buy them. China is already trying to circumvent the US with trading agreements. Maybe you can trade with your so-called enemies, (North Korea) because you killed the relationship with your friends around the world. Great again and very lonely!
Huh??? No te entiendo?
Hey, don't mock the Canadians, they are a great people I've always been treated well in Canada. Now Trudeau is another issue.
The United States needs to put on a 270 percent tax on cars coming from Canada to the U.S. . The factories will close down and come to the U.S.more good paying jobs for U.S. citizens.
glenn yoder Canada imports 34 billions of US made vehicles each year. Whose going to buy these vehicles ?
Really why is it that economic people in Canada are saying that this could be the death of the Canadian car industry. They say that Canada sell many more cars to the U.S. than they buy from the U.S. They are afraid that Ford, G.M.C. ,and Chrysler will close their Canada factories and move back to the U.S.
glenn yoder - The reason is North American auto manufacturing has a complex manufacturing supply chain. A car assembled in one country may be using an engine assembled in another country and a transmission from yet another plant. That engine is a made up of parts from yet other factories. The parts are made from more parts from yet another factory and so on. When you change an assembly line from one model to another your down for months for that reason Ford will build all the Focus cars on one line, all the GT on another line. To make this all work there is lots of parts traveling back and forth. All these tariffs do is made "North 'American" into an noncompetitive market relative to Japan, Europe or Korea.
Ok their are 360 million Americans and 36 million Canadians who will a trade war hurt more,. The only country I care about is the U.S. I care about no other country.
Ignorant retards trying to understand trade. Fucking useless cunts.
Bottom line is Canada is the best trading partner the USA ever had or ever will have. Now the USA is fucking the whole thing up.
BYE BYE NAFTA!!!!!! They are not our best friends.
Bourbon and toilet paper? What a heroic soyboy..!
At least he can muster an erection... when was your last?
Actually they didn't show the most important items like 70% of your uranium for you nuclear centrals and your bombs come from Canada. Even our coal that power your coal powered centrals come mostly from Canada not to mention we will stop importing our medical drugs and our petrol that goes in the USA to get "refined" ! So yes you are uneducated and yes the USA is in deepshit... But the orange orangutan will make his sheep believe whatever he want ! Spitting in the face of a 200 years ally. Goodjob !
@Jo Pao
That's more than we needed to know about yours and Trudeau's sex life...
Good luck with the sky rocketing unemployment rates in Canada after the U.S. companies leave.
antoqc. If we need more oil and uranium we'll just send up a troop of girl scouts to take it from your fearless leader.
American Republicans give massive tax break to billionaires and start a tariff war that we all pay for to pay for it all... #FearAndGreedRule
Drop all tariffs, all countries, real Free Trade.
Donna Massey you would fucking loose. China and India would wipe the US off the planet by their sheer ability to work and live with nothing. Americans would crumble the first time they couldn’t afford to stuff their maws with a Big Mac
You are full of Si@t. USA more powerful than all them together.
God bless Canada, a country of freedom, prosperity, and honor!
Buying American goods supports pedophilia since 10 year old child brides are legal in many states with no minimum marraige laws like tennessee. Boycott USA.
Economically speaking placing tariffs on Canada or Mexico is like placing tariffs on the US economy because of the tight economic integration that exists across the border. Some analyst put figures of some vehicles costing about $10,000 more if these auto tariff threats come to be. It's a self inflicted wound that will make untold damage on all sides of the border. 35 States have Canada as the number 1 trading partner, 4 States have Mexico as the number 1 trading partner including California and Texas. Plus the US is starting trade wars with the EU, China, India, and etc... US can do that but strategically it's about the worst tactic ever. Ideally you single out one bad actor, build a coalition and make a targeted focused set of tariffs to get them to the negotiating table. This trade war lacks strategy and is so diffuse that it becomes 1 nation against like 10 ... it'll only force allies like EU, Canada, and Mexico to go towards China and Russia for trade which furthermore hurts the US trade policy because you lose customers you could trade with to economic adversaries. It makes zero sense and has zero plan other than to intentionally damage the US economy.
America reign in your clown President; he is destroying the Atlantic order built out of the ashes of WW2 and has kept the peace for Western oriented nations. I'm beginning to wonder if he truly is a Siberian candidate ... Mueller the world waits with bated breath for your conclusion.
We are no longer friends. The USA has no idea how upset we are. Get bent.
Well, my American brothers and sisters, I hope this gets resolved.
A great negotiator never shows his weakness to his enemies this is why I ordered the embassy to send the strong signal in support on human rights on prosperity to Canada on Canada day. Some people are talking Rodman...well guess what folks...fake news....I’m not saying that they should with the peace prize, but just look what I accomplished with only a few had shakes and photo ops with the little guy. He has my deepest respect....just a great leader.....loves his people. This is why I have ordered our 26,000 missiles to turn 90 degrees north....we can’t just allow the Canadians to continue to screw us up you know where ...its a sore spot.....we can’t allow the Canadians and their week and dishonest leadership to continue to shaft us with the stiff one and take advantage of us..... America is great .our people are great ..our military is great ...just look at what are accomplishing with our special operations forces in 134 countries were in today, with our great combat and special military missions, our military is great ..our military men and woman are great at getting world peace for everyone. No fake news here, believe me folks next election I’m going to make America great again and guess what folks ...we are going to build a long wall at the Canadian border and guess what folks ....the Canadians are going to pay for it..its about time we stopped them from shafting us ..America is great believe me...God bless America ...that’s all folks ... time for my afternoon twitter.
Good tariffs on jack daniels! Yuck! Crown royal all the way.
Well enjoy getting steel from all those resources the US has!!! and every other products they can make do without Canada!!! We will sit back, relax and enjoy the next year!!! or 10. Sadly Made in America used to say something, now it is all only packaged in the USA but all made in China!! Good luck with that!!! Canada should really start importing more and more EU cars, Asian cars etc they have decent cars and reasonably prices also on the low end and mid ranged. We were supposed to get a Peugeot plant in Québec, better think about this now and get rid of the US cars. Get more competition on the car market and get better prices too.
Yes Justin Trudeau! This American stands with you.
There goes the U.S. tax cut money.
Thank you Mr. Heyman!
Hey Trump please put a tariff on NHL hockey players eh. Maybe Canada can win a SC eh, in Canada eh, instead of winning for a US team eh.
Hey Trump, if you punch a nation in the face with a tariff, don't be surprised when it punches back.
You haven't been paying attention. The U.S. has been punched for years with high tariffs... some worse than others. Level the tariffs out. How about 0% tariffs which Trump favors, but so-called allies still don't want to play on a level playing field.
"The U.S. has been 'punched' for years with high tariffs." Really?

Canadians love you America!!!!
Damnn I saw the Statue of Liberty giving er on a Harley heading for the border with a bald eagle on the handlebars yelling Freedom , Freedom at last
Trump America : Big Brother Bully .... SAD ! #Canadian
This trade war can be completely avoided , IF , Canada takes back Justin Bieber off American soil and DOES NOT let him sing any more....
We will do That one , for Free...….
You do realize.... I as a Canadian citizen... try to buy Canadian first U.S second and then maybe I go to wal-mart and buy Chinese.
So... our tariffs on dairy... is because we want our big food production companies up here to use Canadian milk.
We support Canadian farmers before your farmers... but second is better than third.
And be real..... California has more people than all of Canada’s population.
So how much can we really consume???
I thought tariffs were bad? So why is Mr. Trudeau allowing tariffs?
Trudeau doesn't care because he knows that his time will soon be finished.
Well spoken and sensible man
American people need to stop buying Canadian products boycott Canadian products vote Republican
Canada, And The U.K. Need To Join The CANZUK Union.. The Sooner The Better.Lets Have A Strong British Commonwealth.. Less Trade With The USA..More Trade With The British Commonwealth Counties With Each Other..
WHY would we drop tarrifs on dairy? It would crush our own dairy industry.
Americans need to get it in their thick heads that Canada is not there to just comply with their every needs and demands.
Proud of Canada
Free and reciprocal trade. Period
