Canada threatens to cut off some US imports if Trump imposes tariffs

US President-elect Donald Trump is doubling down on his threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico.

Officials from Canada are fighting back, threatening to cut off some US imports.

“We’re going to use every tool in our toolbox to defend Ontarians and Canadians across the border,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said.

The only person that will hurt is Canada in the long run

Bawawaa.. trudue the wef puppet is gone

[JasonGavel]

lol Canada needs the USA not the other way around. One state in the USA has more people than all of Canada. Canada is a pretty small market compared to the USA

[mistersmacky]

Didn't Trudeau learn anything from his Dad about what tarrifs can do to a country?

[OldRoute]

Trump won't blink.
It'll be Canada's loss.
Trudope will be a good governor to our 51st state.

I don't think Trump will worry about Turdeaus threats. YMCA.

Justine the feminist is gone next election, Canada needs an Alpha male like Trump, actually Australia needs a PM with balls, and nobody has them in the Labor gov.😂

[Necroverse]

That's a sacrifice we're willing to make.

[djackman]

Learn to speak Trump. 25% tariffs translates as "you are treating the US badly. Fix it and no tariff. Don't fix it 25% tariff. Your choice.

[TheClownVP]

Oh no, we can’t live without Canada, what will we do 😂😂😂😂

[crimsonxz]

I am more interested in why canada refused in working together to secure the border.
The solution to the tariffs is mutually beneficial to both side.

[Prognosis__]

Turdope will be out of office next year anyway

[ridds]

When Ontario turns off the electricity to New York, Michigan, Wisconsin.. there won't be anymore tariffs

"60% of American crude oil imports come from Canada"? Not true. The US is the largest producer of Crude oil in the world with 14 million barrels per day. The oil coming into the US is tar sand oil and US refineries are paid to refine it, because Canada doesn't have the capability to refine this thick stuff. It's pipelined and trained to Houston Texas where some of it's refined and some of it put on ships to the UK and other countries. I think some is also shipped to Minnesota and Indiana to be refined. It's expensive to refine the tar sand oil and costs 60 dollars a barrel, whereas normal crude costs 4 dollars a barrel to refine. If they are selling this oil to refineries, they would have to be selling it dirt cheap due to the cost of refining. Oil is 70 a barrel right now and the cost to refine this is 60. If oil prices drop, it's game over for Canada's oil. Canada has some refineries that refine normal crude oil, and they actually buy oil from the US.

The Trudeau tariff is going to be the straw that broke the camels back for JT in Canada.

[DevGuharoy]

Canada has a spine. It's time we grew ours.

[straightjacket.]

Go ahead, we need to start making everything inside the country anyway.

[Richard-fbr]

Canada's western provinces know that working with the Trump administration will greatly benefit both countries!

[deanhays]

Alcohol tariff
Trudeau would be only buyer of budlite 😂😂😂😂

What's so difficult to do what's right? Clean up boarder problems, eliminate drugs, cartels, human trafficking. Trump is asking for what should have been done along time ago. Canada needs to do right and amend the criminal code to eliminate drugs in the country and all tied too it.
