Shut down the electric grid from Canada to the USA for safety testing for 4 years.

They need our products like softwood lumber so if they want their home prices to go up so be it

[iamGermaican]

This is why I can't understand Canadians who support Trump.

[SonicCommenter]

Canada should be negotiating a bilateral trade deal with Mexico in order to cut out as many American fruit and vegetable imports as possible.

[BenDorm]

Beautiful. The price of Canadian Steel and Aluminum along with Lumber just went up for the American consumer.

[lawrencesullivan]

Hope Americans understand how much the price of oil, much of it purchased from Canada, will increase.

I'm stunned at the amount of Canadians who support this and think its about Trudeau.. its not, Trump has hated the economic arrangement Canada has had with the USA for a very long time..

He sees Canada as an economic free loader because over successive governments Canada has negotiated exemptions for Canadian products to be sold into the USA.. Trump doesnt like this and wants it gone..

That means Canadians will loose jobs..

Canada, we are with you in Australia, screw the Yanks.
Counter tariff the Americans

[rannyacernese]

Don’t do a thing let the Americans pay higher prices

[phil]

Yes, Canada should impost a 50 per cent tariffs on all the guns that flow in

[Faz]

Now stop partying and start crying trumpies. ! This is your cost of living going UP!

[jodylarson]

how do you negotatiate with a narcissist suffering a rapid downturn in his dementia?

[arjunthory]

America is going to literally harras the Canadian on Canadian soil 😂

[stevemlejnek]

It's a heck of a way to treat a friend.

[EKAdventures]

I say tax all Americans who own businesses and properties in Canada 45% on their holdings including vacation cabins. Put the money into putting up more border guards to disallow Americans from visiting, no more allowing american conservative interests to run Canada

[mastert]

It's Canada's fault for not having its own industries. All our companies in Canada are American, from Mc donalds to Oil companies.

[fremontpathfinder]

As an American I am so sorry he is doing this to such a great ally as Canada. I visit Canada often. I can't understand my ignorant fellow Americans who voted for Trump.

[romankacin]

Why is everyone so shocked? Let the nightmare begin.

[terryharrison]

Trudeau had an opportunity to sell our LNG to Germany and Japan. Canadian products will still go into the states because our dollar will be so low the tariff won't matter things coming into Canada will be expensive

[doomerang]

How can we respond with such a weak pathetic leader. This is your fault.
