https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canadas-trudeau-announces-counter-tariffs-2025-02-02/ "OTTAWA, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Canada will retaliate against President Donald Trump'snew tariffs with 25% levies on a raft of U.S. imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday, warning Americans that Trump's actions would have real consequences for them.
As relations between the long-time allies who share the world's longest land border reach a new low, Trudeau told a news conference he was slapping tariffs on C$155 billion ($107 billion) of U.S. goods. Those on C$30 billion will take effect on Tuesday, the same day as Trump's tariffs, and duties on the remaining C$125 billion in 21 days, he said.
Trudeau's announcement came just hours after Trump ordered 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% on goods from China, risking a trade war that economists say could slow global growth and reignite inflation.
Trump said he would impose 10% tariff on all energy imports from Canada.
The Canadian leader said tariffs would include American beer, wine and bourbon, as well as fruits and fruit juices, including orange juice from Trump's home state of Florida. Canada would also target goods including clothing, sports equipment and household appliances.
Trudeau said the coming weeks would be difficult for Canadians but that Americans would also suffer from Trump's actions.
"Tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk, potentially shutting down American auto assembly plants and other manufacturing facilities," Trudeau said, addressing U.S. citizens during a press conference in Ottawa.
"They will raise costs for you, including food at the grocery store and gas at the pump."
Canada is considering non-tariff measures, potentially relating to critical minerals, energy procurement and other partnerships, Trudeau said."

I don’t know what Trudeau thinks he’s going to achieve here. The US has the bigger economy, so it can beat out Canada in a trade war simply through attrition.

This will be rough for Canadians, but we at least have a strong social safety net and know that these tarrif prices are because we are being attacked financially. Trump said publicly that he wants to force Canada to join the US and he plans to use financial pressure to do so. He has apparently no idea that the vast majority if Canadians low key hate the US and think it's a crumbling country of idiots. So we feel united by this, because America is being run by a criminal and we're ready to fight. Americans on the other hand voted on a promise of lower costs of living, lower gas prices, lower grocery costs etc and those are all about to skyrocket for you.

Up here there's a scramble amongst leaders right now to show how tough they want this respo to be. Doug Ford in Ontario has called an election because even though he's a coke head who most people hate, even lefties were cherring him on when he mentioned he could just cut off power to a bunch of the states that we sell it to. He's almost crazy enough to do that too, and if he announces even higher tariffs from Ontario like the electricity from Niagara Falls he will win a landslide. Canadians will gladly put up with hardship if it means not backing down to American imperialism and a corrupt criminal in the head office.

You really don't fucking get it do you? Most states have either Mexico or Canada their biggest trade partners. There's literally no way they do something we don't feel. And sure, technically they'll be under more stress... but all they have to do is keep up the pain until Trump fucks off and cooler heads prevail.

Trump promised during his campaign that he would do everything he could to end the fentanyl epidemic. He promised to use tariffs if he had to. Promise to declare cartels a terrorist organization if needed. He's making good on his promises. Most of America's fentanyl flows in through the southern border with a lesser quantity from the northern border, according to the DEA. I don't care if Mexico doesn't like it. I don't care if Canada doesn't like it. I don't care if Democrats don't like it. I want access to fentanyl restricted as tight as possible to the seas of homeless fentanyl zombies that live in my otherwise great west coast city.

every day I am stunned by how short-sighted this board is. Corporate profits have gone up every year since 2009 and reached record highs in '24. This will not change under Trump. Yes, consumer prices will rise, but profits will continue to rise as always. Trump is happy to take the blame for high prices because the wealthy will continue to get even wealthier under him, and the wealth disparity will continue to grow as well. Trump voters who are not already wealthy will be worse off, along with everyone else.

Bigger question, given that you declared war on us... what incentive do we now have to do anything to help the drug problem that is destroying your country? We work to keep it under control for ourselves, but at this point why should any Canadian care that US citizens are being ruined by it? If this is war, we aren't allies anymore then the more of your population that gets destroyed by drugs only helps us in the end.

>>1380657 Why would the Canadians feel silly? Trump wanted to tear up the, as he put it, 'most beautiful trade agreement ever' he signed in USMCA. Next, Canada gave up nothing, they already had the money & plans to spend this money on helicopters & F35s, only had to remind Trump. Funny thing, Canada's plan was to purchase these over the next 5 years, but because we would not promise delivery earlier it was stretched to 10 years. Now Canada is getting them even sooner then they originally hoped for because of Trump's stupid move. Trump must have realized he was breaking his own trade agreement (eating crow) and his bs talk of invading Canada is a terrorist threat and against 1945 UN agreement.
Well played Canada, well played.

>>1380681 Umm, you do realize more illegal immigrants cross into Canada from America than from Canada? Also, Canada is flooded by illegal guns from America. .3% of the fentanyl enters America from Canada but 90% of cocaine and meth enters Canada from America (seriously, just last week Canada busted a single $85 million cocaine shipment from America).

>>1380843 We failed did we? And in a "laughable manner"? Please describe what you think failing is and how we did it. I am genuinely curious if you just don't understand what the word means (you are American after all) or if you think you have a legitimate point. So go for it, if you can. How is this failure?
