Trudeau announces tariffs on U.S. in retaliation for Trump's tariffs

They will raise costs for you, including food at the grocery store, gas at the pump. They will impede your access to an affordable supply of vital goods."

not really. We just don’t buy anything from you, which actually hurts YOU.

i think you will also be getting a 50% tariff in response to your nonsense.

You might just find that Americans buy a lot of goods from Canada. Have you researched this?

It won't affect Americans crossing the border to buy their cheaper prescription drugs and medicines.

"Research" in MAGA world means "what Fox and OANN tell us"

Private citizens around the world need to totally boycott American products, now.

Detroit is going to suffer bigly.

I just read this on Threads.

"Canadians are well known for their friendliness and hospitality. No more. At tonight's NHL game between Ottawa and Minnesota, it was the first time in my 67 years that I have heard Canadians boo another country's anthem. Canada is pi**sed, rightly so.

We managed to alienate a country whose national identity is niceness.

Good on Canada.

Here's hoping the average American will be negatively affected by these petty tariffs and that fuel cost increases will hurt them. That would be heart-warming to see.

The best thing Canadians can do is seek out and buy as much local produce and goods as possible. Best to avoid the rubbish foods produced south of their border.

Canada will retaliate against President Donald Trump's new tariffs by imposing 25% tariffs on U.S. goods from drinks to appliances, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday.

Good. Let him posture and look even more stupid than he already does. In the event, Trumps tariffs are in response to clear demands and a negotiation tool. What are Trudeaus demands? Re-instate DEI and open the borders again? Good luck with that.

A whole lot of Americans get goods from Canada, as has been posted many times on this site. Dealings also go on between States and provinces. MAGA people really have their heads firmly in the sand, don't they?

There is going to some huffing and puffing, the big girls are going to blowing there blouses out.

Toys are going to fly, there will be smeared lips stick. allot of loud rattle waving.

Then compromise.

Not sure about Mexico, Canada yes, smart money within those 21 days.

But Trump LOVES Tariffs...he is the tariff guy, remember.

Didnt see this coming ?

Go MAGA....go Trump.......go get an education

Some official Govt. site says in 2023 US imported $436 billion goods from Canada.

Oil, cars, car parts, minerals some of the things listed.

Nobody from MAGA checks....

yes, canadians are taking it to heart and already buying canadian products instead of u.s. goods. it started with trump mouthing off about tariffs long ago.

canada should raise the price of oil price to the u.s. at least 15%. it's too cheap.

with the 10% tariff and higher price, the price at the pump in the u.s. will go up soon.

the u.s. can go back to the saudis to get the oil they need for gasoline.

and increase the cost of electricity. people have no idea how much electricity is sold by canada to northern states.

30 states get electricity from Canada.

I'm not at all familiar with Canadian politics (although I do know that politics in general is basically just backstabbing and intrigue), but a leader who's announced his resignation has essentially no more f**ks left to give, and that's when a politician is at his or her most dangerous. If, among his last actions, he decided to throw a huge middle finger at Trump, that would be the greatest way to sign off.

Gets better...US imports $480 billion from Mexico...lots of high end industrial stuff and machinery as well.

EVERYTHING just got more expensive for the USA ......hope Mexico retaliates with tariffs as well.

Go MAGA.....thought bubbles as useful as bath bubbles

nickel and potash are vital to the u.s. the u.s. has no nickel to mine.

farming in the u.s is dependent on potash from canada.

man, food prices in the u.s. will skyrocket.

A quick refresher on MAGA thinking as it relates to tariffs, etc.

MAGA operates on a simple premise: I don't care if I suffer, as long as they suffer more. MAGA people will willingly accept a 50% increase in their grocery prices if it means that the brown people next door have their door smashed down by ICE. "What? They're American citizens? So what, they're brown, and that alone makes them suspect".

MAGA people will be fine with the 1% getting richer and richer as long as someone else gets poorer and poorer (as long as it's not them, of course, in which case it's a democrat conspiracy theory because Fox said that the democrats secretly control the house and the senate and have engaged in a vast conspiracy against the American people).

MAGA are fine with planes crashing, helicopters and planes colliding, etc., as long as they have a bogeyman on whom to blame it.

MAGA are absolute masters of denial. "We buy nothing from Canada". "Every other country in the world is scared of us and will eventually bend the knee to Trump". "Trump has never made a bad decision in his life, and everything he does is for the average citizen".

If you read their responses with this in mind, it will make a bit more sense.

Shouldn't the headline be "Failed PM swats US with wet lettuce leaf"?

The trade balance between Canada and US shows a $100 billion plus balance to Canada.

Would it make more sense to impose tariffs on nations YOU have the plus trade balance with.?

I just saw Trudeau's press conference. Flipping back and forth between French and English, never once showing anger, quoting JFK. I don't know why he's resigning, but he at least comes across as a leader, and not an incontinent 78-year old roué.

Bad haircut....well $436 billion does buy a lot of lettuce.

Read my posts...

You might just find that Americans buy a lot of goods from Canada. Have you researched this?

The USA's total export-import ratio from Canada was about 18%-14%. Some things will get expensive but it will be no where near the 77%-63% that the Canadians are dealing with.

Tokyo Guy...yep...and underlying it all for MAGA is a simple MEANNESS OF SPIRIT.

Sad, sad people.

nickel and potash are vital to the u.s. the u.s. has no nickel to mine.

MAGA: "Huh, what do you mean? I have a nickel in my pocket and I can get pot and hash from my local dealer!"

Haha the communist commentators always make me laugh! America won’t be affected by the dictator in Canada!

Texas alone is makes more than Canada!

Once again like pretty much everything you leftist have claimed will be proven false and Trump will win again! Must be tough being such losers!

Trump the criminal is showing America's friends and allies that under his disastrous leadership, America will attack trade from allies and increase taxes on all Americans, while giving select people tax cuts paid for by tariffs on incoming goods that Americans pay for.

America under Trump will have no friends left, just suspicious and untrusting nations that used to be close allies and friends. Trump is shifting world opinion on America and moving it into the basket case section, at least for the next four years.

America is now the loud mouth obnoxious nation nobody wants to invite to parties. Trumps America first idea is in practice America last.

Oh dictators and others will appease and suck up to Trump but when his back is turned, the knives will metaphorically come out. Deals will be done without America, leaving them out in the cold where ever they can.

Trump making America come last and stand alone.

I can't say that I am a fan of Trudeau in general but I applaud the outgoing PM here for standing up to the southern bully and for the rights of the Canadian people.

Didn't I say that just yesterday and here we go:

Donald's oh so great plans already firing back at him big time.

Oh, and bass

"We just don’t buy anything from you, which actually hurts YOU."

Wait until all those companies in the US scream for Canada's resources!

Wait until Americans want to have cheap avocados and strawberries again.

Wait until Americans ask for cheaper gas again, because Canada cut off supply.

Most of the world can do without the US economically (even though it will be tough, I agree), but can an isolated US do without the world? Got my serious doubts.

Concerning that 50% stuff, the answer from Canada, Mexico, China and other countries will be appropriate.

A trade war is the least we need - but we got one thanks to Donald Dumb!

All this because Melania gave Justin goo goo eyes.

leftists losing their mind and now suddenly they all looooove Canada.

why don’t we wait and see what happens first?

Wait until

yet you seem to want to predict what’s gonna happen now, without waiting.

wait until.

leftists losing their mind and now suddenly they all looooove Canada. 

why don’t we wait and see what happens first?

But you were so sure you know what will happen in your first post at the top of the thread. Now you want to wait.

20 downvotes take some spring put of your step?

not really. We just don’t buy anything from you, which actually hurts YOU.

Are you kidding me? Canada exports a lot of their energy to USA. So much so that they're running low on energy for themselves. Energy is cheap there, as I asked my friend from Montréal. Just as well, since they have heating on 24/7 in the winter.

Anyway, it's great to see the rats fighting amongst themselves. Not a fan of Trump or Trudeau. Both have been supportive of both Nazis and Zionists - go figure.

the u.s. has no nickel to mine.

All this misinformation is just blabbered out, hoping it’s true and believed by all on the left. What’s this? Where is “Michigan”?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EagleMine(Michigan)

@zaphod

’what are Trudeau’s demands?”

that Trump stop acting like the idiot he is.

Make Canada America! Americans are not worried about Canada’s far left government threats! We are laughing all the way to the bank!

I just saw something to the effect that Canada is now considering a total stop on buying any alcoholic drinks made in red states. So there's a tactical element to this too; or maybe a political one.

Then again, that might work in the red states' favor; they can get good and hammered before impregnating their cousins.

But you were so sure you know what will happen in your first post at the top of the thread. 

you will be getting a 50% tariff in response. And we will stop buying anything from you that costs more than American made.

like I care about downvotes from people who have been wrong about everything. 11 million and abortion wasn’t it?

*but a leader who's announced his resignation has essentially no more f*ks left to give, and that's when a politician is at his or her most dangerous.

Trump is in his second term so he has no more f to give either. Trump is also mightily p***ed off at the Canadian liberals who have turned their country into a hole and want the US to go down the same road.

If among his last actions, he decided to throw a huge middle finger at Trump, that would be the greatest way to sign off.

This is Trump throwing a goodbye kiss at Trudeau. Trudeau should not let the door hit him on his way out.

Trudeau is a socialist just like Fidel Castro. The apple has not fallen far from the tree.

All this misinformation is just blabbered out, hoping it’s true and believed by all on the left. What’s this? Where is “Michigan”?

US annual nickel production: 19,000 tons

Canadian annual nickel production: 3,600,000 tons.

Dude who lied to you about nickel mines got this feedback from you:

6( +7 / -1 )

cause you wanted to hear it and hoped it was right. yet couldn’t even be bothered to do a 10 second Google search to see it’s false. Just “upvote”! Yay!

Votes here have nothing to do with truth or facts. Just feeeeelimgs.

US annual nickel production: 19,000 tons

And? Was it said that Canada produces more?

”the u.s. has no nickel to mine.”

hmmm. “No” nickel.

20 downvotes take some spring put of your step?

Oh so this is a popularity contest and whoever gets the most upvotes from expats on their smartphone has the correct opinion? I see!

US exports to Canada and Mexico are less than 1.5% of our GDP.

can guess what % of GDP exports from those 2 countries to the USA are?

colombia won’t…then they did.

venezuela won’t…then they did,

2 more names for that list after their bluffing is over.

Oh so this is a popularity contest and whoever gets the most upvotes from expats on their smartphone has the correct opinion? I see!

But you don’t because I didn’t say that. The butthurt is bigly today.

Trade is the bedrock of modern civilization. I do not want to toil in the fields to grow cabbage but will trade my labour in my specialized field for cabbages with a person who specializes in growing cabbages.

Trade allows specialization and capital to be used efficiently to the benefit of everyone and for humans to progress in all aspects of civilization.

Canada is now considering a total stop on buying any alcoholic drinks made in red states. 

in return you get to keep all your fentanyl. And your crap “Canadian whiskey”.

Your terms are acceptable.

in return you get to keep all your fentanyl. And your crap “Canadian whiskey”.

Dude, Cletus and his eighteen cousins are our biggest customers for fentanyl. He can't do them without a good dose. I mean, who knows where she's been...

Trump's come down quite a bit re tariffs on China.

Campaigning to the masses time, saw 60% often blurted.

Then it was 50%.

Then it was a universal 25%

And then it became 10%.

Why the decrease when Trump has accused China of being responsible for huge trade imbalances to the tune of $100s billions deficit for the US? (funnily enough the highest deficit in decades was in Trump's mid-1st term and then fell after)

So only 10% on the Big Baddie after all of the huffing and puffing seems like a reality check to the bluster..

But I guess a majority of his supporters will have forgotten all of this.

But you don’t because I didn’t say that.

you did seem to try to claim that my opinion is invalid because 20 people “downvoted”.

but it’s not. People downvote truth they don’t want to hear here all the time.

why else would you bring it up if not to try to use it to discredit the truth I spoke? I even gave you an example of misinformation that was upvoted.

The most important thing is not to increase the tariffs for popcorn:)))

Dude, Cletus and his eighteen cousins are our biggest customers for fentanyl.

so you ARE trafficking fentanyl to the USA.

I see.

so you ARE trafficking fentanyl to the USA.

Not me personally, no. but I think it's kind of altruistic on Canada's part. I mean, what else do people in red states have to look forward to?

Bet it makes you feel better when you claim the trafficking is done by “an Indian origin man”

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-origin-man-arrested-canadas-drug-lab-bust-surrey-rcmp-9648252/lite/

that sure is a lot of drugs and guns. Headed to USA? Not any more.

Canadians even importing cocaine to Japan now. But it’s ok- “Chinese origin man”

you did seem to try to claim that my opinion is invalid because 20 people “downvoted”.

I didn’t say that either. 26 now.

We managed to alienate a country whose national identity is niceness.

Oh dear! Excuse me while I cower in my safe space!

26 now.

Means what? Nothing, right?

keep your drugs and secure the border- we take off the tariffs. Simple.

Ha. Downvotes from the myriad left fruitloops on JT are par for the course.

Surprised that Justin found time from encouraging Canadians to kill themselves by euthanasia.

Trump's not stupid. He's doing this so that Americans will buy American products.
