Lol that's about 0.006 percent of our trade. We will be fine. I was expecting more from Canada.
The U.S. are a mafia racket now. Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Ukraine's resources, Panama, Gaza, Kharg Island, the Strait of Hormuz…their greedy eyes are on everything. They shout about having to isolate Iran economically, but seem to do their best to isolate themselves, while overestimating their might. Nearly all countries of the world, except perhaps Russia and North Korea, have been alienated by this ridiculous (and at once dangerous) "administration".
Canada ought to CANCEL all F-35 orders and contracts. And announce this ASAP! Thats it, thats all ,Period. We buy from intelligent and friendly countries and we buy the Gripens from Sweden. And thanks to Doug FORD for his fight for Ontario and Canada when other premiers and Ottawa was somewhat silent. It’s about time Canada wakes up and stand tall! Who won between David’s and Goliath again??? Canadians will not kneel down trust me!
No deal no problem. Canadians still shopping at costco and walmart. Love their iphones, subscribed to netflix, youtube, X and meta. We are doing all these because we are proud Canadians and we love US products!
It's "being made about sovereignty" because it IS about sovereignty ffs. What else is about if the "deal" demands that you go ask Uncle Sam for permission to trade with anyone else? That demands that you sell your stuff to them first and at a discount? That demands that you give up your language and culture?
All nations should offer 3x backfire tarrifs till he steps down.
This was never about fair trade or China. The US has a MASSIVE manufactured goods SURPLUS with Canada (8:1 ratio). If it were not for US imports of heavy oil they need to make diesel, the overall deficit disappears. The US wants a colonial relationship where Canada sends raw materials and energy and buys back value-added manufactured goods. If you doubt that, then why did Trump not tariff the CAUSE of the overall deficit (oil/gas) and attacked Canadian MANUFACTURING instead? Besides, Americans per capita buy far more from China than Canadians and America has traditionally had better relations with China than Canada.
SOLUTION! -> Canada should place an export levy on energy going to America and use the money to finance a massive energy corridor to its west coast capable of transporting all current and future oil and gas production. The logic is clear. Although the US has a massive, manufactured goods trade surplus with Canada, they are focusing entirely on their OVERALL deficit – that is caused by energy imports. Creating this corridor, funded by these levies, will eliminate the problem once and for all leaving America with an overall trade surplus with Canada.
Canada,UK, Australia can go thier own way if they so wish
I hope Canada wins this tadewar.
It was the Democratic Party that was supposed to be hostile toward commerce 😂
Trump said, "someone should tell them to fall in line."
That was a shot fired at Canada's King.
