President Trump has triggered punitive tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China for their role in the manufacture and delivery of fentanyl into the United States while disregarding their responsibility to secure the U.S. border.
In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced responsive tariffs against American goods. However, the responsive tariffs are primarily the products that Canada has exploited through the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) loophole.
[SOURCE]
It is obvious Canada’s response is in consultation with the U.S. democrats, as is the customary norm for the Trudeau administration.
(Politico) – Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, on Saturday night made a televised address announcing concrete measures including a tit-for-tat 25% tariff phased in across C$155bn ($107bn) worth of American products. Trudeau said Trump had put at risk US consumers’ and industries’ access to much-needed Canadian critical minerals and resources including oil, energy and timber. The prime minister promised to work with Canada’s provinces to review dealings with the United States.
Addressing Americans, Trudeau said: “Tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk, potentially shutting down American auto assembly plants and other manufacturing facilities. They will raise costs for you including food at the grocery store and gas at the pump. They will impede your access to an affordable supply of vital goods crucial for US security such as nickel, potash, uranium, steel and aluminum.”
Trudeau added: “They will violate the free trade agreement that the president and I along with our Mexican partner negotiated and signed a few years ago” – referring to the United States Mexico Canada agreement (USMCA) that was drawn up largely at Trump’s behest after he tore up the previous North America free trade agreement (Nafta) during his first term as US president.

Keep in mind, through the past 20 years, Canada has essentially shut down their heavy manufacturing while worshipping the climate change agenda of the WEF team. Industrial products from Canada are a fraction of what they used to be. Instead, what Canada now has is an “assembly economy” where they import component parts -mostly from China- and then assemble them into finished goods for distribution into the U.S, a NAFTA and USMCA workaround.
There is no way for Canada to reciprocate at the same level as Team USA; the economy of scale just isn’t in their favor. However, on the automotive side, multiple manufacturers of vehicles (especially Toyota) are reliant upon cross border component auto parts in order to reach the U.S. market.
Both Canada and Mexico are used by China and the EU as an entry point into the U.S. market. Major investments by European auto manufacturers and Chinese companies will be impacted. The agricultural products are essentially moot.
President Trump’s moves on the tariffs are a good start to an economic issue that has gone unaddressed for too long.
President Trump imposed the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a nearly 50-year law that gives the president sweeping power to impose sanctions after declaring an emergency. No president has previously used the law to impose tariffs, although Trump threatened to use it against Mexico in his first term and more recently against Colombia when they balked at accepting a planeload of migrants deported by the United States.
There’s no reason that everything we need or want couldn’t be manufactured in the US.
Even if we deport all the illegals, we have a supply of millions of people who have been sitting on their ass collecting taxpayer money their whole life who are perfectly capable of holding a job.
We’re going to have all these newly unemployed ex-federal employees who will need a source of income.
Put ’em to work.
I want the good ole days back when we manufactured our own goods and did not have to depend on other nations. Whoever started this practice needs to be run over by American cars. JK of course … 😎
You can thank the Clinton Administration for NAFTA
It would be amiss to not share the credit with the H.W. Bush Administration, as it was a joint effort.
What a great example of the UniParty in action!
I hope that anyone who is still pretending that we have a Republican Party and a Democrat Party working against each other is paying attention.
The UniParty is an exclusive club and we ain’t in it.
remiss…lol
He signed it.
GHW Bush did much of the negotiation.

The Dynasties of NAFTA
“The Bush and Salinas families both had multi-generational plans for greater integration between Mexico and the U.S., but neither quite came off as expected.”
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-dynasties-of-nafta/
Didn’t Trump renegotiate NAFTA during his first term?
“At the end of August 2018 Mexico and the United States announced that they had come to terms on a new trade agreement that preserved much of NAFTA but introduced a number of significant changes.
Under the pressure of being the odd country out, Canada, in the waning hours of September 30, also agreed to join the new trade accord, which was branded the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA).
The pact was signed by Trump, Trudeau, and Mexican Pres. Enrique Peña Nieto on November 30, 2018. Most of the agreement, which required approval from the countries’ legislatures, went into effect on July 1, 2020.”
yes and your point?
The point is that the USMCA addressed Trump’s beefs, so is Trump in violation of the very agreement he was the major creator of.
Yes, Trump made such a big deal out of negotiating the USMCA agreement. Now he has invoked this emergency act as a way to work around the very USMCA agreement he has been bragging about since it was signed in 2018.
Many of the items Trump is now putting an additional tariff on, were already addressed in that agreement.
So, is Trump in violation of the USMCA?
And good old Newt.
Plus the repeal of Glass-Steagall.
I remember a time that Japan used to send us junk back in the early sixties. A lot of their products would have Made in U.S.A. on them! Not OUR USA but Usa Japan! little tricky bastids!
Kissinger was the HERO who opened up China to our manufacturers…..and away went American jobs and corporate secrets.
Loved this. But good luck “putting ‘em (ex-Federal employees) to work”. They never did before.
You do know that “work” is a 4 letter curse word to them. Most of them don’t know what “work” actually is, cause they’ve never actually worked before!
We’re going to have all these newly unemployed ex-federal employees who will need a source of income.
They can learn to weld!
Learn to code
Or construction and agriculture is in need because many jobs have been vacated
Who will pick our crops if we don’t fire them?
That is an excellent idea. How do you get the “ass sitters” to go to work? Disability payments can be over 2 grand a month just because your back hurts. Not to mention getting your hands dirty is unheard of in our younger generation. God be with us.
I agree, but there are very good reasons as to why not. Frankly, it is easier to start a factory in Japan than the US. The US regulatory/administrative apparatus is mostly self serving. China is the complete opposite: the administrative/regulatory state is there to expand manufacturing output, not siphon off output to launder money to government income transfer schemes.
Your statement “perfectly capable of holding a job” does not resonate with your words immediately prior… if these people have been “sitting on their ass collecting taxpayer money their whole life”, a prospective employer would hardly want an employee with that lack of personal responsibility.
I’m sorry but there’s not much we need from Canada.
Canada is coping hard if they think this will make any difference.
Right neighborly of you.
Ya got nothing to say.
Expect more of this as I expect the divorce to be ugly!
How neighborly is handing out drivers licenses to unvetted and undocumented immigrants so they can drive fentanyl trucks in the US?
The US imports 3.8 million barrels of oil/day from Canada. It would be more if Biden had not cancelled Keystone XL on his first day in office. That is about 18% of your daily use.
Oil is a global commodity. Supply chains will just shift. There will be plenty of countries lining up to replace that volume in sales to the US, without tariffs. Canada will sell what they can ship of their output to countries other than the US. The volume of oil available to the global market will not change at oil. The impact on fuel costs on consumers will be minimal. The only losers will be whoever pays for the transport costs for moving Canadian crude to the US. I have no idea who gets that bill, but their costs will go up for sure, and they will have little hope of passing that cost on to their customers.
Remember that per Sundance, the US produces about 80% of what we consume right now, so we’re talking about making up that 20% that we consume from external sources. A lot smaller issue than Canada has, if they truly did shut down most of their heavy manufacturing, which means that they need to make up a far higher percentage of consumption.
Also: Drill, baby, drill.
That will take time to make its way into the economy, but it is an additional incentive to American producers to reopen what they had to close due to the last administration.
So now they have 2 incentives: the filling of the strategic reserves in Cushing and the reduction from Canada…..there is money to be made.
A couple reasons your take contains even a morsel of truth is because the Biden administration and the democrats, et.al., who came before him, have all worked so diligently to hamstring US energy companies/extraction/exportation right here in the USA. I’m old enough to remember PDJT’s first term where the USA became the top energy exporter to the rest of the world. So much attempted leftist distraction, so little time.
How much of that %18 still comes through pipelines?
We will buy oil elsewhere. What will you do with yours?
Only thing I need from Canada is walleye and moose meat.

Agreed. Wisconsin maple syrup is so much better!

Trudeau has presided over the destruction of what was once a serious and rightfully proud nation. Under his leadership Canada has set itself up for all of this by refusing to cultivate markets for its products other than the United States all while derisively mocking President Trump the last few years. Go and watch some of the discussions in the House of Commons on Youtube if you don’t believe me. Western Canadians wanted pipelines across the country for this purpose, however, Trudeau and his Liberals and the NDP blocked them. Add in a really popular carbon tax to really piss off the oil and gas producing provinces (primarily Alberta).
As for shutting off the supply of electricity to NY and other States, who exactly is Canada going to sell its electricity to if it shuts off supply to the U.S.? More to the point, I can think of nothing more certain to end prosperity in Canada than for it to threaten the United States’ energy security. The U.S. won’t invade, it will just develop its own resources leaving Canada to fend for itself economically.
Agree. The Eastern seaboard will go dark without the additional Quebec hydro power it requires. And Trump just put a 10% tariff on it.
Especially if we make a nice deal with Greenland!
Let the games begin! I’ll gladly put my money on Team USA to easily win this! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bought a small package of cucumbers that were marked grown in Canada. I think they were hydroponic tomatoes. They were kind of tasteless. I’m not losing any sleep over Canadian tariffs.
Sounds like this might be the perfect year to get that home garden going again; will trade the zucchini, cucumber, corn, green beans and tomatoes with our neighbor who has taken up the hobby of growing quite a few chickens; lots of eggs for trading on their side, fresh veggies from us!
We should all reprise the name Victory Gardens and make it a thing while Mexico and Canada figure out their next move.
I expect the Canadians next move is to get an election and drive that idiot we have in charge out of office.
There isn’t a thinking person in Canada that doesn’t know that about 95% of the conflict between our nations is the direct result of that prancing twit we have as a Prime Minister, who spent the last decade sneering at Trump, and following up by disrespecting the US, which isn’t common in the majority of Canada.
I believe that a new Conservative face in the PM’s office, and further a new Conservative government actually dealing with the border and cross border crime, because its evident that the Trudeau cult seems to enjoy the chaos that this causes in both nations.
Lastly, I can’t speak to your problems with Mexico, beyond the last few years watching your southern border with astonishment, being treated as stepping stone, not a barrier.
I wonder if the home grown stuff is going to be sabotaged. Or maybe even the widescale farming destroyed. Or people taken down. https://reinettesenumsfoghornexpress.substack.com/p/exclusive-expose-by-european-research

Yep, Bessie… if we hadn’t been working our garden(s) during some really tough times, we likely would not have made it to today. In addition to the food, we have gained immeasurably from the healthy ‘outdoors’.

In many cases, copy and paste are NOT your friend. This is one…
New Hampshire and Maine. Very Very good.
What’s so hard about stationing Canadian troops and RCMP along the border and increase Canadian Drug and Customs enforcement to halt the Fentanyl coming into both of our countries? It seems like a Win-Win and should not be a declaration of a trade war!
There are trillions at stake may be the answer to this question of why it’s so hard for Canada to step up.
Indeed. The WEF is watching their little puppet very closely…
Canada has stepped up with additional troops, drones and helicopters at the border. Plus provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan and a few other provinces have invested in additional border security on top of what the federal government has done.
Has Trump put additional border patrol and customs agents at the northern border? Is he doing his part?
Canada is on the take from China and the globalists. Look who is into supplying all that Fentanyl, moving it through Canada and Mexico into America.
Its being done in Alberta, at the direction of the Alberta Premier, ‘Not’ by the federal (Trudeau) government.
But Trudeau’s ‘blind eye’ treatment to it all is further enabling, if not completely supportive.
About time to put some muscle behind “protecting US Interests.”
Fair Trade is a long-dead fallacy that has been anything but fair to America.
Canada has been less than equitable as a trading partner, yet Canada offers less of what we need compared to what they need from America.
Sorry: We love you, but let’s be honest and fair with one another.
PS:
You’d make a lousy 51st state…nez pau?

Drill baby Drill… I think we can cover this
What sometimes gets lost is that refineries are set up to deal with certain types of crude oil. Canada’s is nasty, but a lot of our refineries are set up to deal with it because we get it at a significant discount. Nobody else has the refinery capacity to handle it.
Apparently our domestic refineries can still turn a profit with a 10% tariff, but we can’t just flip a switch and use those refineries for our own
Well the oil companies will have to invest to bring more US crude to market a lot of production was furloughed which means idled equipment was sent else where. This may be just the right sized disruption to put some urgency in their game
Third time’s a charm, eh?
got nothin’ else?
have you not heard President Trump announce U.S. drilling again?
More cut and paste. You clearly limit yourself to one mostly uninteresting and incorrect thought per day. But your attempts to become relevant are truly entertaining.
Canada is America’s largest national park!
Justin from Canada mustn’t have been paying attention lo these many months.
America First!!
So threaten all you want. You were warned.
To your hot air we say…
(Oh, and same to you Claudia from Mexico.)
Hilarious!
LOL Thank you. That is gold!
Perfect!
I can imagine President Trump is thinking, “Tit or Tat? Hey soy boy, you can’t play tit for tat if you don’t have a set of tats. We do. You don’t.”
Remember though, this battle is with the soy boy leadership which will soon be gone. The battle is not with the fine people like the truckers in Canada.
I found it interesting that he addressed the Americans. To that I say to him, “Hey sweetheart, we’re all set here in America. We don’t need your advice. We just re-elected our leader. We’re good here. Same with the Canadian citizens. They’re good too now that they’ve tossed your ass out of office.”
Has any one heard of a guy called Mark Carney?
Schwab and Soreaese and the rest of the Globalists have him lined up to replace Just-in.
We had him over here as the guv’ner of the bank of England. He is even worse than True-doo.
Right into to global warming crap and Die-versity.
Here, patrick…I do. Remember him well. Also remember how surprised I was that he, a non Brit, was selected to run the Bank of England back in the day. Bad to the bone. Not who Canada, or any other sane country for that matter, would choose I would have hoped.
The question remains, who’s doing the “choosing”..
Globalists won’t give up.
But then evil never does. Praying for our Canadian brothers and sisters…they’ve suffered enough.
Justine “They will violate the free trade agreement that the president and I along with our Mexican partner negotiated and signed a few years ago” 😂
Stop kidding yourself, your slip is showing.
You were left out in the cold and brought in when the deal needed signing. Your trade rep Freeland spent her time sniffing coke while Mexico had to take the spanking from Lighthizer, as the USMCA terms were put in place!
Both Mexico and Canada have violated the spirit of the trade agreement from day one by continuing as willing partners with the EU and China to transship their goods into North America for assembly.
Justin has a point. Trump designed the USMCA agreement with the advantage going to the US. Most of what Trump is now tariffing is covered in that agreement. Trump invoked this emergency act to work around the USMCA, something he has been bragging about since it was signed. So can Trump be trusted in any future agreements?
I thought Trudeau resigned as PM.
I believe he announced that he would resign (at some time when another PM was chosen).
Who is Trudeau in bed with? China? Trudeau, could have prevented this tariff by working with USA and stopping the aliens and fentanyl!
turdeau is likely in bed with another guy and he has never had say or control over government policy…sorta like maybe fjb.
More like live boys, tbh
He is a communist. Always remember what he did to the truckers protestors.
A METAPHOR FOR CANADA AND MEXICO’S ‘RETALIATORY’ TARIFFS
When I was a little kid I was doing what Canada and Mexico have been doing!
Back in the 50s, my older sister and I would exchange money as our Christmas gifts. Pat would give me a gift-wrapped five dollar bill and I would give her a dollar wrapped in a napkin.
This went on for a couple of Christmases until Pat decided I was old enough to get her a better Christmas gift, so she stopped giving me the five dollars!
I was pretty upset by this so I stopped giving her the dollar.
So I guess I showed her!
PRESIDENT TRUMP is addressing the issues that the Dims and Joey have failed to handle in the past. Most peole in Canada ea reasonable, so how does someone like Trudeau get elected? All thse tsrifs and DOGE are necesary to correct the failues of the prvious Dim administrations.
BTW, Ha, Ha, Ha…… what get leadership the DNC just chose !!!! /s
When this is CNBC’s headline today we can be sure President Trump imposition of tariffs was the right thing to do:
“‘Tariffs are not the answer’: Industry and corporate leaders react to Trump duties on Mexico, Canada and China”
So says the senior vice-president head of international of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Consumers Brands Association’s vice-president of supply chain resiliency!
My motto is never trust anyone with a title longer than the entity he represents!
So the US President needs to justify tariffs under some official emergency power… but Mexico and Canada just get to retaliate “because reasons”…?
Seems fair.
It’s much worse than this in Canada. Trudeau resigned yet it isn’t official until he brings back Parliament. He would’ve required Parliamentary debate to discuss and deploy retaliatory tariffs. Yet somehow he skirted the need by “speaking with the provincial leaders” for “his” retaliatory response. How he is able to dance around one of THE most important decisions of this Century without debate in Parliament is beyond me. It’s Dictatorship level powers. All from someone who supposedly just resigned as PM.
As a Canadian, it’s the monkey against the gorilla. Trudeau’s resigned, and his minority party is polling at or below 20% support. It’d be easy to blame Trudeau for all this, shutting down pipelines, impoverishing the country, etc.; he was a drama teacher with a famous father and political name; photogenic, Canada’s Gavin Newsom . Essentially a tree hugging climate catastrophe babbler, an unserious person. But what does that say about the Canadians who voted for this pajama boy in the last three elections? Canada voted this guy in. And it’s tragic, because this level of tariff is going to put this country on its butt and into a deep recession. And for what? For the one percent of illegal aliens who come across the northern border? We don’t have a kick butt Northern Trump in this socialist paradise. If it’ll throw off this blood sucking political class and propel an adult into the political arena, then this coming misery and Trump’s romp through the china shop will have accomplished something. And of course it’s only winning now for the Americans, but as you ride high in the saddle just remember your many perfections: forty percent of you waddle instead of walk; no i.d. required to vote in the most populous state of the USA USA, and your kid needs a flak jacket to go to school – oh yeah, we sure want to be in that kind of republic. And as you enter Tariff Heaven, it’s going to be the ugly American worldwide, which is kinda cool – there might as well be a grain of truth in the stereotype.
And that ain’t all bad. The virtue signaling democracies need some time to figure out their vices. And Trump is now teaching our political class. Dramatically.
After Trudeau’s first term I thought Canadians would wake up. But they did not. Just like Obama’s second term. But after O’s second term, we woke up. Canadians still were asleep.
I love Canada, but we should remove all the subsidies we give them, and see how they do. They should at least be a territory of the US, they are too proud to become a state. But hey, they are reasonable folks(at least now that they have woken up) and will do what is good for them. Btw, it would lower their taxes by 25 percent, let’s see what happens.
Dramatically
Canada is UK’s Greenland.
Greenland belongs to the Dutch
… the Danish.
Canada <- UK
Greenland <- Danish
“We don’t have a kick butt Northern Trump in this socialist paradise. “
The impact to Canada’s economy may just force one to step up

cute!
The voting ‘system’ in Canada, would appear to be as corrupt as in the USA. Remember; o’bummer spent some time with trudope, prior to your ‘elections’.
Canada uses paper ballots to vote. Same day voting. No votes allowed after election day. All ballots counted on election day. All voters require ID and must live in the riding they will be voting in. All ballots are scrutinized at each ballot box by a member of each political party before the ballot is certified.
Nobody can vote unless they receive a card from Election Canada indicating that they have been enumerated, are a legal citizen, and therefore allowed to vote. Each voter must bring that card from Election Canada to their local polling station in order to vote.
I believe Canada has one of the most secure voting systems in the world. Unfortunately, Americans know so little about it.
Hm. I’m not worried. Trudeau should know that Canada’s socialism is worse than ours. I think we’ll manage.
Make Canada Ukraine Again
Canada’s meeting with Ukraine’s self-professed Nazi paramilitary
I believe the long-term play here is peeling off certain desirable provinces (cough Alberta) from Canada, adding them as states. Once the provinces realize Canada’s economy is dead in the water, you’ll begin to see more interesting developments up north.
The game is afoot, this is but the first domino.
All I will say is I’d rather be Canada than Mexico in these scenarios. Canada has abundant resources at a minimum. Mexico could be economically destroyed practically overnight in one executive order barring American remittances to the country.

Tax remittances to Mexico at say…. 50%.
Not just to mexico, any foreign country. Why hasn’t he done this. I’ve been screaming this for years.
I could easily see taking in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northern Territories as a single state.
Pro: Common civilizational and legal heritage, common language, not the sort of overwhelming population addition that all of Canada would be, and as an area it is probably less impacted by Canada’s mass immigration policy. Those two provinces have the bulk of the pipeline connections with the US as well.
Con: British Columbia would then present an issue due to its location between Alaska and Alberta, its unassimilable population (size), and the heavy CCP infiltration and migration present there.
Running the Chinese out of Canada is nonnegotiable, and running the EU and the UK out of Canada should also be nonnegotiable.
Monroe Doctrine, full throttle.
Kinda like having to practice tough love with a neighbor who allows the wolves to cross their land unmolested and attack your herds. When the neighbor refuses to help maintain the boundary line fences and constantly comes over borrowing sugar its the last straw!

All gas, no brake.
The Canadian tariffs are directed toward commodities such as ‘critical minerals and resources including oil, energy and timber’ . All of these commodities the United States has, but are placed under oppressive regulations and moratoriums by Democrat legislation. Canada making the things harder to obtain will only enhance President Trump’s efforts to remove the regulations and produce items in this country.
This might just help force the left coast to re-establish their timber industries, truly renewable resources.
That would help prevent forest fires and create jobs.

Trudeau just shot himself in the foot. His imported fake eyebrows just got costlier. Should have stocked up loser! 🙂 🙂
Smh, everything got more expensive yesterday, the price of half a cooked chicken went up 10 pesos and the Chinese food went up 5 pesos per serving.
The only major quill’s in Canada’s arrows that I can think of is electricity to the eastern seaboard which is massive and at a discount price under Canadian user prices, unrefined oil, and minerals…They can do some damage, but the U.S. can absolutely cripple Canada and their dollar…Ehh. I’m right on the border and cross over to get Winston cigarettes at their duty-free about $30.00 U.S. cheaper per carton, plus $10.00 U.S. duty at customs…I may have to quit…Yikes…The sky is falling….I think the biggest bone of contention I’d have with Canada is obviousl not Fentynal or immigrants but their lack of military contribution to NATO. They no longer have a military to speak of and totally rely on us for protection. Under their liberal govt’s, they’ve reduced their military to a boy scout level and it would seem lost all pride in themselves as a nation in that regard.
wait. i can see a plus side here. the eastern seaboard is a leftist hoard that stands against america just like trudreau. they have banned natural gas lines and are buying lng off of russian ships. (mass.) let canada raise new york’s electric bill. could be big upside’s here.
Hold on gary. The Eastern seaboard is a lot more than New York. I live in Maine and with the exception of several counties along the coast which have been overrun with massholes, we are mostly Conservative. Unfortunately, Collins is kept in her seat by the lefties on the coast. I feel pretty confident however that this is her last term. We will finally get her out. Unfortunately, we are somewhat dependent on Canadian oil and electricity.
The US imports 60% of its crude oil from Canada at a discounted price. A huge benefit to the US.
tariffs already paying for themselves… Winning!

Both Countries, Canada & Mexico will not affect our needs hardly at all… Shut down or tax proceeds back to Mexico (via Western Union or other means) by illegals/visa holders in the U. S. and see how long it takes for the Mexican President to come around on tariffs…
Of course our Democrats scripted Trudeau’s response because no mention as to why the tariffs were enacted This has been the shift seen during the Biden years where Democrats stopped denying any wrongdoing while gaslighting the opposite:
Illegal alien crisis? Fentanyl crisis? Nobody has done more than [insert Democrat or Canadian name here] to combat the problem. Since Trudeau didn’t go there, it appears he is trying to save face by accepting Trump’s deal that will end the tariffs.
You guys are really rooting for our downfall eh? That hurts. There are still normal people in Canada who just want the same as you – to live free and be able to afford the things we need when we need them for our families. Our leadership sucks that is true, but that is not all our fault. We had the same voting machines in place that Biden had.
This year it will be hard to look after a garden, because with God’s good graces, I am 42, married, and pregnant.

This will likely be fairly quick. Remember, Colombia took less than a day. It will take longer than a day, but I doubt it will take a year.
The true conflict will also escalate once the cartels and China truly begin to feel the impact of the closed border.
Delta Force is just waiting for the go order on excising and decapitating the cartel leadership.
My bet is they use a lot of these:
Our beef is not with the average heritage Canadian, it is with the hostile globalist machine Canada is hosting.
Also remember there is much going on behind the scenes.
Life is hard.
Why are you looking at US citizens? Look to yourselves and the actions that Canada has taken that has caused this to happen. Where is the “I’m sorry we are doing this to our friends United States”?
That’s the key, right there.
How will we know when the Fentanyl crisis has been alleviated?
How will we know the tarrifs worked?
With Colombia we knew before Trump finished his round of golf that it was effective.
It was clear listening to all of the Premieres that Red State liquor, beer, and wine will be going away for Canadians. The wording is clearly Democrat talking points.
I no longer drink but have never liked Canadian Whiskey. Give me a Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve. A nice sipping Bourbon has always been my preference. My mom too.
So Justin from Canada tells the American people our houses will be expensive and minerals too. I love Canadian rutabaga but have planted my own.
I guess we will see what plays out. I am more concerned with the connected power grid thanks to Carter.
This is Justin Trudeau (Pharaoh) hardening his heart; and that is a good thing. America’s mandate is to bring JUSTICE to the nations of the world. Canada has a mandate to bring healing.
When our Canadian Truckers carried the torch of freedom to Ottawa in February of 2022, it gave hope to other nations; however, as I have always known, President Trump would come back to the white house and this time his resolve would be like Joseph from the Old Testament – his soul entered into the iron; see Psalm 105:18.
That means that no nation or people will pull him into compromising his God – given mandate – to bring true heavenly JUSTICE and lift the terrible GLOBALIST stench from all nations.
Our truckers could not complete the task of freedom and justice – and they were not supposed to.
President Trump will deal with our current “Venezuela with snow” government and all of their foolish lackeys.
Please continue to pray for us in Canada – because our ORIGINAL foundations with America are the same.
WE WILL BRACE FOR IMPACT – AND THEN THE FRESH AIR OF FREEDOM WILL COME AGAIN to our beloved Canada.
One last note – as a Canadian I apologize for the immature knee jerk response at the hockey game; not everyone can see ABOVE the pollution of short term politics.
I appreciate your grounded in reality comments.
We have our own immature knee jerkers for which we need to apologize.
MCGA !!!
Thank you!
The Canadian Truckers were amazing.
Prayers and blessings to all MCGA Canadians who understand all our rights and liberties come from God Himself and cannot be taken away by some twinkle socks wearing ****y communist b___ fathered on a promiscuous __re.
We all share a common heritage in the Declaration of Arbroath, and the Magna Carta.
Prayers for true Canadians, as we suffer together through this time, united by a common dream of the liberation of North America.
Thank you! Many prayers went up on Canadian and American intercessory lines for the return of the rightful president. So happy for the blessings you and other nations will experience because of his return. God is behind him for this hour in history.
So good!
There’s so much to rebut. I’ll say that most of those consumer products that Trudeau stated are not made in the USA. But those food products like orange juice and other homegrown foods mean more for us. Thus the prices should go down. Or send it over to Africa; they certainly can use it.
Regarding minerals and other resources….. didn’t Congress confirm 2 very competent gentlemen to head the Energy and Interior Depts?
Don’t Trade on Me

“The American Revolution was fought to establish economic and political independence in the new world. As Pat Buchanan aptly put it in his book, The Great Betrayal, “the Founding Fathers had created something new in history, the world’s largest free trade zone… for the benefit of Americans alone.” They protected the borders of that domestic free market with a tariff wall, both to raise revenue and protect infant industries. The first bill signed by President George Washington in 1789, sponsored by James Madison, levied duties on foreign ships transporting goods into the nation.”
Including the “hidden costs”, the “true cost” of a foreign product to the Republic exceeds the retail price that you pay at the store or online.
An important consideration is that any import costs, with tariffs from any foreign country, will still ultimately be lower than the sum total of the related costs required for security, the criminal and social consequences of drug addiction, shipping costs, local unemployment, and embedded support for antagonist regimes among other considerations. There is greater expense that hits your pocket book from a foreign product than just the retail price.
Right, total per capita government spending, adjusted for inflation, has gone up 7x since 1950. That multiplier is overstated though, since not all spending is income transfer, but a lot of it is.
So the Canadian former substitute teacher wants to rumble with the American billionaire genius? Bring it on!

“Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau argued that his country has taken steps to help the US with the fentanyl and border crises.” But evidently your country isn’t doing enough, Justin. “Taken steps to help” doesn’t sound like a committnent to stop illegal border crossings or stop fentanyl smuggling.
Trudeau is only hurting himself and the Canadian people. They need us much more than we need them.
“It is obvious Canada’s response is in consultation with the U.S. democrats, as is the customary norm for the Trudeau administration.”
Time for the FBI to search the data bases and get the info to jail these creeps. What’s good for the goose and all…… This has to be illegal.
Here are the tariffs from Norway: https://x.com/jonlech/status/1885857743904657450?mx=2
Here’s just a few of Norway’s import tariffs:
Cheese: 277%
Beef: 344%
Lamb: 429%
Milk: 443%
Potatoes: 191%
Beets: 158%
Roses: 249%
Baker’s yeast: 21%
Casein-based glue: 21.2%
Women’s tops: 10.7%
For those interested, here is the response from Pierre Polievre, the leader of the Conservative Party, and most probably the next Prime Minister, regarding the Trump tariffs on Canada. About 20 minutes.
How many have known that the Singh population in Canada is the manufacturer of fentanyl in Canada ?
The Canadian government as well as the RCMP know exactly where the “Mega” manufacturing facility is and the recent bust Canada claims came from the U.S. was actually in Canada with one of the drivers actually being a Singh.
Canada and Mexico both became extremely nervous recently when it was discovered and clear heads in Canada know.
I think Fidel Castro jr and Mexico took the bait from the trap and are now figuring out what’s a coming.
The astroturf on the tariff issue is as predictable as you might think. I skim AOL/Yahoo news and see what the comments are doing. A top rated comment basically says “rich people support tariffs” because they harm lower income people more. The fact they are recycling muh “rich people” into pretzel nonsense, and then bot liking it, is pathetic.
If there is one issue that “mainstream economists,” allied interest groups, the administrative state, and high net worth investors agree on, it is “free trade.”
Well well well….
