In response to the recent imposition of tariffs by the United States on Canadian imports, former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland is suggesting Canadians boycott buying U.S. goods and instead support Canadian products. The White House confirmed the tariffs, with a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian imports and 10 per cent on Canadian energy taking effect on Tuesday. Freeland’s call for a boycott comes as tensions rise between the two countries, setting the stage for a potential multilateral trade war. As Canada prepares to navigate these uncertain times, Freeland’s suggestion aims to encourage support for Canadian businesses in the face of economic challenges.

yessssss
In all honesty the us doesn’t need Canada to function at all Canada we’ll go down way faster then the us well. That’s when they say there is power in number and a trade war with the us is a very very bad idea. Canada we’ll be a dumbster fire fast.
As someone who lives in the United States, I apologize for what my country has done and is doing. I certainly did not vote for him and am terrified for what is happening to the US.
Canada will win like always
Oh you bet we are buying Canadian. We all stand together
We need a serious movement of buy Canadian or Mexican, ect….anything but US. Come on follow Canadians let's all do this together !
China
BOYCOTT USA.
JOIN BRICS
Truth is: Trump doesn't care about Americans either – only himself and his followers. Canada is not responsible for Americans' drug problems! We know Trump is cruel and irresponsible, trying to ruin our country by weakening the federal government, and treating allies like enemies. We are stronger when united with our allies. Instead of punishing our neighbors, he could be giving real incentives to American businesses and entrepreneurs today. There is more than one approach to try with this issue.
he dont care about americans
How about increasing the electricity bill to the United States as they rely on us for electricity!!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !
Canada should seeking alliance with:
– Mexico
– China
– Denmark => EU
– BRICS
– Russia => cancel sanctions against Russia. Trudeau should show up in Moscow.
If required ELECTRICITY should be cut into northern USA. And oil.
Donald Trump is a stupid PSYCHOPATH !
Trumps wants to invade Canada, Panama and Greenland? LET HIM DO IT ! USA has lost in Afghanistan against people in sandals! It will be a huge international backlash! The USA won't recover from that for years! The de-Dollarization will happen within 1 year! USA will end in a hyperinflation never seen before!
Clearly mark everything that is made in Canada so people know without doubt that they are buying Canadian goods 💪💪💪💪
Time to use that great trade deal with the EU to it's FULLEST me thinks. EU got a huge population size, huge market, which is veeeeery THIRSTY for the natural RESOURCES and EU and Japan already got a fantastic trade deal, just like EU and South America. They made a nice buffer zone vs Trump's tarrifs.
Lol, economy of Canada will collapse if people listen to the liberals
How dare you, we need impose 100% tarrifs on all goods from Canada, Our president Trump will punish those clowns like crazy!
Smart witch, run away from sinking ship after navigating it for years.
he doesn't care about Americans
he only cares about himself
Have you noticed how scared Canadian federal politicians are?
They know a lot more than they are telling us, so they have reason to be afraid. It is not the tariffs; it is the destruction of Canada's already weak, over-regulated socialist economy and, ultimately, its independence.
The elites, especially the federal ones, have the most to lose. As Canada is annexed, province by province, to the United States, Canada's current socialist elite will be completely replaced.
For ordinary Canadians, little will change in the near future, but some of the benefits of U.S. membership will become apparent over time: lower taxes and housing costs, and higher incomes.
The world order has changed. Unfortunately, Canada slept through the changes, relying on American military protection. If you are weak, even temporarily, you will become prey to your neighbor, whether you are Ukraine, Israel, Greenland, Panama, or Canada.
One consolation that I hope will help Canadians: we do not need to learn the language of the invader. It would be much worse if Canada were invaded by communist China or fascist criminal Russia.
Canadians should learn a lesson for the future, albeit fatally belated: think twice before voting for hypocritical idiots like Trudeau in elections.
This is basically like the start of the Handmaiden's Tale.

Global News,
I am up to 10 videos in my new series (playlist), on my own YouTube Channel, which gives creative feedback on how to deal with TRUMP, not
through the magical-economic-paradigm, but through psychological and, dare I say, humanist principles!
Strangely, as much as I send the links to these videos to our elected officials, none seem interested in gaining their insights?!?
Can you explain this yourself?
Sincerely,
Professor-Marty.
She is woke and will destroy the Canadian tiny economy. Does she understand who she wants to fight with – In 2024, the US economy is expected to be around $25.43 trillion, while Canada's economy is expected to be around $2.16 trillion.
SECURE YOUR BORDERS. Then we don't have to play this game. Still see Freeland can still "Bob her head up and down."
This lady is still around?! My lord.
Just like COVID 19
US Economy is $24 Trillion, Canada economy is $2.2 Trillion.(2022 stats). In practical speak, who needs who here? Canada imports from the US $322 Billion of goods whereas Canada exports to the US $377 Billion in goods (2024). Canada's economy is growing under 2% per year. US is around 2.8%. Putting tariffs on US goods hurts the Canadian economy far greater than US economy. Finding new trade partners sounds well and good. Transportation costs sending Canadian goods to US are virtually nil compared to sending Canadian goods from interior of Canada to either the EU or Asia. All nations should be as self reliant as possible.
100% tariff on Tesla! That's the best Freeland has said for a long time!
Good luck with that 😂
She doesn't understand the US will not stand down the Canadian economy is gonna get rekted!!!!
First off I like Chrystia Freeland and I agree with many of her comments and think she could easily lead our country into the future!
However, made a statement that trump doesn’t care about us only the American people, wrong answer Chrystia Freeland every Canadian know trump only cares about himself and his personal agenda. You as a pm of Canada best know you enemy and what your up against!
For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this:
– 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada.
– 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada.
– Steel is made in Canada.
– Uranium is exported from Canada.
– Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia.
– 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada.
– Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did.
It's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.
Tell me what to do as a citizen. Am ready.
All these Canadians supporting the gaslighting of politicians saying Canada first fight trump if it’s Canada first stop illegal imagrants close the border that’s how you make Canada first not fight our big brother who does not care how tough we think we are he ONLY want the border closed he does not care if we tarrif them they really don’t need anything from us not milk not oil not water nothing and we need there protection from there military he said close border or gonna give you tarrif so our government did not live up to his expectations simple as that , so they put. Tarrifs on us because of our border and we put tarrifs on them as a response how stupid fix the border that is the issue not retaliatory tarrifs , I love American products Canada has great products as well but I like verity and now I have to buy Canada products only because we did not secure our border good enough to the higher standard of Donald trump who is only trying to make his country safer, all this could be avoided if we meet his standard with the border but we wanna focus on retaliating instead of pleasing Donald trump which makes us all safer , Canada focus on our border , not hating the states like our politicians are brainwashing Canadians
