what a joke…he doesnt want to deal with china…
The first time Trump ran for president i had a laugh with my friend about it. When he got elected i was mind blown.. when he tryed to start a riot and get ppl to storm the white house i was also dumbfounded..now.. elected again.. ive lost hope in our neighbors.
Only one person to blame for America's demise….. Pinnockio.
We know Canada loves Americans. The problem is that Putin hates Americans and Trump takes his orders from Putin (not that Trump doesn't hate Americans anyway, but he hates everyone except himself.)
Sometimes, I really feel that he thinks Tariff is actually paid by a foreign country. This happened when we got a president who never stepped in MIT/Harvard.
WE DO ,NOTHING WRONG WITH CHINA , THEY'VE DONE MORE GOOD FOR THE WORLD THAN THE HARM AMERICA HAS TO PEACE & STABILITY , HAS CHINA EVER THREATENED TO INVADE CANADA OR RENEGED ON TRADE AGREEMENTS, THE REASON YOUR SAYING THAT IS PURELY THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY PHILOSOPHY , CHINA OR AMERICA WHAT DO YOU CANADIANS SAY WHICH ONE
American ready to hit Canada, Canada response with just tough words! That is what the media said. Is American prepared to Canada cut off? No idea? Can the program do some homework? I just have more questions than answer! Where is the fact and number?
This didn't age well, China put a 100% tariff on Canadian goods in retaliation to tariffs imposed on China in April of 2024.
'I don't want to go to China.' From a Freudian perspective, when someone says so, it means he is already considering this.😉
Countries milking the sacred American cow.
Milk baby milk !!! When its udders run dry, move on to another one.
The vitriol from panelists and experts on this subject is obvious to see. They don’t want to find another cow.

Hey America… If Trump is so bad then why did 3/4 of your country vote for him? You guys confuse me, It seems that both our countries are lost … Maybe one day 😢😢
The plan is simple: make everyone's life miserable and blame it on Biden, then walk back all those tariffs and act like a savior.
Just announced. China imposes FRESH NEW retaliatory Tariffs on Canada. Welcome to the real world Canada 😂😂
The issue for Trump and his trade war with Canada, in sotto voce, is that there will quickly be an election in Canada. Trump interferes and distracts—he already has in his attacks against Canada and the liberal government. Trump and Elon Musk have endorsed MAGA Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader who wants to be our next Prime Minister. No need to remind everyone of the kind of MAGA tactics used during an election. The American people now live with the US electoral outcome of the November 2024 election. Canadians do not want a bombastic Trump-supported Poilievre as our next Prime Minister. Sadly, during the next few months, Canada will be at "war" with a US President, his army of cronies and Canadian "legacy" media controlled by American owned Chatham Assets Management. Scary times.
JFC. Can you American media types do ANY research? Ford is Ontario's premier; calling him a "top Canadian official" is like calling Kathy Hochul a "top U.S. official." Each speaks for their own province/state, and NOT for the federal government. Also, if you checked any clips, you'd realize Ford is a dim blowhard. He's entertainment value, not news value.
Stand strong Canada we love you 🇨🇦
MR. FORD SHOULD BE PRIME MINISTER. HE IS JUST WHAT WE NEED A MAN WITH A BACKBONE AND IS NOT AFRAID TO USE IT.
I would say that Dump needs to be kept an eye on as he is known tp cockaroach money by using his family as the recipients
NO….TRUMP CAN'T BE TRUSTED. AS LONG AS HES IN THE PRESIDENCY CANADA IS NOT SAFE IN ANY WAY…WE NEED BUILD CANADA UP AND DISTRIBUTE AND SHARE ( ONLY ) WITH OTHER COUNTRIES WHO AGREE TO PEACE AND FAIRNESS. ……END STOP.
Whenever we went shopping, we look for products that are not made in the US. Before, we used to buy products, groceries, clothings that are produced in the US, but now, we don't after that tarriff threat by old grumpy king, the close friend of rasputin. US empire will go down like the Roman empire. No empire that last forever. Arrogance will make the fall faster.
You don’t want to go to China, how pathetic he is. Why China wants you? You are absolutely nothing in eye’s of China. Absolutely a hypocrite and a total loser 😂
As a Canadian watching all this it breaks my heart that the choices we have for leadership is so bad. Our American neighbors were force to chose between ridiculous and ridiculous. Trump win was a complete failure of the Democrats.
美国在2000年就说中国马上要崩溃了，为什么西方天天说中国经济很差军事很差，中国领导很差，中国要崩溃了，那么西方以为什么害怕中国呢？为什么害怕一个要崩溃的国家呢？西方说习近平有多么的独裁多么的差，那西方就应该欢迎习继续工作更能加快中国崩溃呀，为什么西方又希望习下台？西方人没有逻辑能力吗？我是中国人，我就希望那些天天说中国要崩溃中国经济很差中国军事很差的人存在，而且希望他们这样的人越多越好，希望他们推行多元化，希望他们到处开战，希望他们永远都生活在错误的信息中，希望错误的信息在yt上传播，但是这些信息不能出显在中国网络上，做为中国人希望西方国家的领导都是商人 或者演员，或者运动员等等，希望这个世界永远存在共产主义和资本主义
I wish you'd had the premiere of British Columbia on, David Eby.
Doug Ford and a couple other conservative premiers were part of the sycophants who found nothing wrong with Donald Trump, and loved him, until he turned on them
Conservatives always need to feel the pain first hand. But, Doug Ford is surprisingly good on this. The worst is the leader of Canada's conservative party, pee pee. A guy whose wife is so dirty with Venezuelan and Colombian issues that he can't get a security clearance
But it would be nice if you talked to some premieres who aren't responsible for cheerleading for Trump like Ford was, even though he's finally got his crap in order
We stand with you Canada❤ elbows up Canada
From Canada here. If Canada has all those Natural Resources for Military, and Nuclear Energy, Batteries etc… Why not use them for Canadians? And strengthen Canadian Military..
According to Trump, every country is taking advantage of Trump. But does America benefit from this? No mention.
A wisdom from the global south will say like this "When 2 big bullies from the north fight, don't take sides". 👏👏👏
The buyer pays the tariffs. Trump tariffs are a tax on the U.S. consumer. Follow the money. It’s going to go towards tax cuts for Trump’s rich friends!
As a Canadian…Trump is the biggest threat to our Country, since ww2…. He has made a huge mistake.
Anyone invites him?
Doug ford is chinas little secret just like his buddy Trudeau
buying materials that are used to build value is normal not a problem calculate the value that canada provides at the end a car worth 80,000 dollars versus say 10,000 is steel aluminium and parts. Remove these items from your trade imbalance and the rational begins to look very stupid. Cheap canadian power and oil what is you solution humpty expensive american power and oil from somewhere else that costs more???
PMFord should of declared unilaterally 7:44 increase Prices and not double the prices Thus unified with PM Trudeau’s statement.
Cities are going to suffer.
poor soya bean farmers they got hit last time and had to be bailed out maybee they shouldnt have voted for him as you knew he did this last time so hard to feel for you see you fd usa canada china etc
most canadians have relatives there but we have to protect ourselves
want to try growing food without potash if you dont know if allows crops to yeild alot more food and helps livestock keep healthy and we have 80% of the worlds supply
canada put ford in becasuse he wil do this thats the reason we voted him in
You are not welcome anyway. Cronies with evil intent
Expensive Goods is good for Americans.
Impeach trump now!
😂😂😂
CANADA ISN’T SAFE UNDER TRUMP….THE WORLD ISN’T SAFE UNDER TRUMP. USA WILL SUFFER UNDER TRUMP. LETS GET OFF THIS PSYCO MERRY GO ROUND. EVERYDAY, TARIFFS ARE ON AGAIN, THE NEXT DAY OFF AGAIN. THIS ISN’T HOW TRADE AND FREE TRADE WORKS. HE DOESN’T HONOUR THE WORLDS BEST AGREEMENT THAT HE CRAFTED. ..HE LIES ABOUT THE TRUTH, DISTORTS REALITY, AND DOESN’T UNDERSTAND LAW OR ECONOMICS.
If Douggy turns over a new leaf after all this I'll be surprised. Don't forget this is the man that tried to sell out the greenbelt, withheld money from our health system and turned our education system into a let's make kids stupid system. Normally I see Doug Ford as a human cheeseburger bin, for now I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
He has to be the dumbest President in US history.
China has now given Canada an opportunity for trade talks.
