[Mistman]

Its wild hearing Canada have to defend its sovereignity.

[zacharystrong]

It’s wild that Canada is so dependent upon America. 75% is crazy high.

[nangel]

I would answer:
I respect the position, but respect for the person has to be earned.

[draconis]

"Officially, yes. Personally, no."

[stevenhoskins]

American Here: When he said, "let's put Canada 1st, for a change", I loved it. Best wishes to our northern neighbor.

[KickAsh]

You have to play the game. Like he said 75% of your goods are sold to the states. You have to respect that.

[CosmicTuxedo]

I respect Donald Trump as much as he respects Canada and Canadians.

[dannymanganelli]

Sounds like the best way to say "No, not really."

[Fastrom]

"Does Doug Ford respect you as the leader of the Conservative Party?" We see no sign of that at this time...

[irishgirldutchpour]

Then you have Danielle Smith telling Trump to stop the tariffs because it will elect a liberal. And she wants Pierre in office.

[HiX_]

So stop tariffing Canada, while they tariff USA on:

Chicken: 263%
Turkey: 179%
Butter: 175%
Dairy spreads: 165%
Certain fish products: 160%
Milk: 155%
Cheese: 147%
Beef: 77%
Pork: 77%
Eggs: 66%
Flour: 40%
Wheat: 38%
Orange juice: 25%
Peanut butter: 25%

[somethingorother]

Standing on your own two feet. Yes. This is exactly what the tariffs are about.

[barryhardingham]

But you expecting Americans to accept the huge tariffs Canada has on American goods, so isn’t it prudent that you respect the rights of Americans to tariff Canadian goods, am I missing something here?

[LMGuelph]

respect is earned not given, you have to respect the office, but not agree with the leader but still respect them for diplomacy purposes

[BryanBowser]

I will insist - oh that's the solution. Why didn't anyone think of that!

[kathypaterson]

Nobody insists anything with Donald Trump. This is a big fail.

[Victoria-utuv]

I believe tariffs should be reciprocal.

[minimalrealm]

That’s literally like the perfect answer to that question.

[Realist]

PARENTING "SUPPOSED" ADULTS:
When children are not raised properly in their youth, they remain children even into adulthood, and society at large has to continue parenting them.

[chucktaylor]

Stop tariffing America and we won’t tariff you
