Mexico isn't Canada. Mexico is like some african nations wallowing in poverty. They don't have a choice but dance to Trump's tunes..Trump has met his match. Canada is no small country and those who have been there would concur. You know what? Canada too goes to China like the usa does so, it's not as if they're benefiting substantially from the usa. Trump will be disgraced in the end. Imagine south africa telling Trump to mind his business. I read it here this evening. I see more jabs coming from other nations to him

He should just focus on making America great again, according to his slogan . Good luck to him

abbey621:
Yea the doom prophesy didn't come true the first term and it won't come true this time either.....America has always been bigger than any one president.....

TriCee:
Lol. Policy that would soon change.

Nigeria closed borders against rice importation, just to encourage local production. Guess what? The price went very high locally and the masses suffered more.

Trump's unnecessary body language should not send these countries into making hasty decisions. Trump is here for just 4 years.

Eriokanmi,
Accepted that a trade war is unhealthy for both countries, but you are really overestimating the economic capacity of Canada. If you live here, you will weep for the country called Canada. A combination of incompetency and policy gerrymandering in the last few years have done an irreparable damage to the economy. Circa 2010/2012, the CAD was at par with the USD. In fact, if you step into some shops, the two currencies are interchangeable for making purchases. However, today, the CAD is equivalent to 0.69 USD.

Besides the fact that most of the multinationals, still operating profitably in the country are foreign-owned, what Canada is manufacturing/exporting to the rest of the world now is grossly insufficient. In my opinion, before picking up a trade fight with the US, Canada should first dismantle trade barriers between the provinces. This decades old internal trade barrier is so bad that rather than finding a way to resolve it, each provincial government always prefers the easy way out; increase trade with the neighboring states in the US. An indefinite piggybacking on the Big Brother, the US, at the expense of developing robust interprovincial infrastructures and trading framework has consequences.

Now that the chicken has finally come to roost with Trump as POTUS, maybe it is time the federal government/provincial leaders revisit the moribund Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), liberalizing trade internally, removing stupid exemptions/restrictions and making the country very attractive for Canadian/foreign investors, regardless of the tariff situation.

By the way, the relationship between Canada and China/India is currently at an all-time low. There is no love lost between JT and the leaders of the aforementioned countries. In fact, given the opportunity, Xi Jinpin and Narendra Modi will tighten the trading screw, just to teach JT a hefty lesson .

Overall, since Canada’s exports to the US (75%) are more than double the US export to Canada, and the discordant tunes coming from some of the provincial leaders, dialogue is the way out here. The current tit-to-tat approach, adopted by JT is unsustainable. On the long-term, it will ultimately destroy many large/small-scale businesses in Canada.

Who told you it did not come true? Trump shot the national dept through the roof with nothing to show for it, and now the average citizens will have to pay for it.

He will ground the IS economy that am certain about. He will never leave an economy better than that on Biden.

The dollar will lose a big chunk of its value under Trump.

🍁 Canadians have canceled trips south of the border, banned U.S. alcohol and other products and even booed at sporting events after 🇺🇸 U.S President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on most of Canada's goods on Saturday.

Though Trump had pledged to put tariffs on Canada and Mexico before taking office, the perceived act of economic warfare on a country that is so close to the United States culturally and geographically still came as a shock to many Canadians.

"It feels like Trump wants to restructure the world order," Drew Dilkens, mayor of the Canadian border city of Windsor, said in an interview. "He's willing to start with his closest ally… If he's willing to do this to Canada, what's he willing to do to everybody else?"

Dilkens said about C$400 million ($272 million) in trade crosses the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor every day. For his 240,000-person community, the fallout from Trump's tariffs will be immediate. He hopes residents will support local wineries and distilleries.

Calgary resident Ken Lima-Coelho said the tariff news spurred a surge of Canadian pride in his household. His 19-year-old son is now making plans to sew a small Canadian flag to his backpack for an upcoming trip to Europe, while his daughter spent Saturday night making an inventory of Canadian food products in the family's kitchen.

"There's nothing I can do about this quagmire that we now find ourselves in politically with the regime next door," Lima-Coelho said. "But I can change which toothpaste I buy... and that gives us something to do while hopefully our political and business leaders sort this out."

Trump slapped a 25% import tariff on all Canadian goods, except energy products, which will carry a levy of 10% while entering the United States.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately announced retaliatory tariffs on C$155 billion ($107 billion) of U.S. goods. Those on C$30 billion will take effect on Tuesday, the same day as most of Trump's tariffs, and duties on the remaining C$125 billion in 21 days, Trudeau said.

Trudeau also encouraged Canadians to buy local and vacation in Canada, a sentiment echoed by many local officials.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford ordered
American-made liquor to be off the shelves of the provincially controlled Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the only alcohol wholesaler in Canada's most populous province, by Tuesday.

"Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore," Ford wrote on X.

After attending church in Winnipeg, Loraine MacKenzie Shepherd said her grocery shopping habits will change, and she hoped to support Mexican products as well as Canadian.

"There will be job losses in this country... we know that's going to happen," she said. "We need to find ways to be in solidarity with others who will be suffering the brunt of some irrational ire."

In Ottawa on Saturday night, Canadians reacted more angrily at a hockey game: booing the U.S. national anthem before the Ottawa Senators played the Minnesota Wild.

TV footage showed basketball fans booing the anthem again on Sunday before the Toronto Raptors played the LA Clippers.

WondaBeauty:
Why didn't the Canadian president or Prime minister enter into a dialogue with Trump like the Mexican president did concerning this tariff issue or is there something we don't know?

Eriokanmi:
How? Canada can do without usa. Trump is already receiving disgraceful jabs from world leaders. Imagine south africa president saying Trump should mind his business. By the time he's done with America. The country will never be the same again. How are the mighty fallen.
