It is disappointing, if not entirely surprising, that despite all the time and energy sunk into saving NAFTA, the president of the United States has once again hit Canadian aluminum and steel exports with a 10 per cent tariff, on the absurd pretext that U.S. national security is threatened by Canadian industry. It is also not surprising that Canada has announced its own retaliatory tariffs, designed to match, dollar for dollar, the cost barriers the Americans are imposing on our exporters.
We oppose tariffs. Canada should pursue free trade with as many nations as possible, and should finally figure out how to have it internally, as well, it having somehow gotten away from us for our first 153 years as a country. We especially oppose tariffs among close allies, allies with free trade agreements, and even more so when the tariffs are manifestly ridiculous and self-serving. The U.S. president’s domestic political problems are now spilling over the border to hurt Canadian workers.
Friends don’t pay a terrorist millions of dollars after murdering a U.S soldier with a hand grenade.
'...Canadian law has forbidden foreign ownership..But after permitting the sale to non-Canadians of practically the entire Canadian-owned steel and mining industries, then PM Harper’s government signed off on Postmedia’s creation as well.' 🤫 cdnpoli
oh.....I think they are far from buddies Trudeau's little dictatorship and his economic plan into socialism/communism has perked the ears up of some security advisers in the States that's not good...
C Aluminum and C steel sold to the US...is it Canadian or Chinese or “Canadianized Chinese” product?
Lol...Canada’s turning into a security threat for the US. I’m expecting more of this until we feel some pain. We love Chinese communists way too much.
who are our friends?
Trump does not like globalists. And he is so right!
Friends don’t let Chinese steel pass as Canadian to sell it to the USA 🇺🇸! cndpoli TrudeauCorruption
Canada being used as the personal patsy of China....to funnel product into USA. We are the mule. Media doesn't inform ..
Trump has tools, not friends.
nor do they dump Chinese aluminum into their friends country.
Friends don't slap tariffs on friends. What kind of childish BS is this? That appeals to retired school teachers and nice white folks who made their living off the public teat. How precious. This is the real world and Canadians have to be skillful in the game.
Trudeau has worked less than 50 days this year, rest were Personal & Flight days vacation. He had a chance to meet with POTUS / Mexico on TRADE ECONOMIC GROWTH, but he snubbed POTUS instead, zzz. Gutless & lazy instead of face to face stand up for Canada. Now tariffs
Ask Trudeau if he thinks Canada is friends with the US. This is another area where he is the master of division.
Did we circumvent or try to circumvent the USMCA? Is that what happened here?
Friends don’t bad mouth behind backs.
If Canada was selling imported Chinese aluminum to American companies so they could avoid tariffs from buying direct from China then it is a valid tariff. Canadian companies already receive discounted electricity rates to produce aluminum so they should not be abusing free trade.
Friends don't make climate deals with enemies that just slapped your best friend in the face. 2 yr ago. Why weren't you saying this then? cdnpoli climatechange
why did we sign a agreement Mexico USA and Canada so he can do whats he wants bullshit
America is no longer our friend... now we're being invaded by their chemical milk products You've heard what he says about our Prime Minister He's gotten our citizens killed Are you guys Canadian? Or what? divestfromUSA impotus

FAKE NEWS MEDIA START PUTTING THE BLAME THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND THAT WOULD BE THE TRUDUMB LIBERALS
Chinese steel and aluminum dumped in to Canada and forwarded to the US by the liberals
Trudeau and co are not America’s friend. Not at all.
How about milk. Friends don't relabel Chinese aluminum and steel then dump it into the US. Trudeau backstabbing Trump at the G7 in Quebec is friendly? Freeland called him a tyrant among a bunch of other insults they both spewed. Friends do not fo that
In this dummy's eye, no friends, just interests!
Americans are not our friends. Get out of the free trade agreement and slap as much taxs on them as possible so we only buy Canadian
God you ppl are disgusting.
What has Trudeau done to indicate he regards the Americans as friends? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Friends... trudeau and the liberals have shown zero respect towards the Trump administration. Agree with Trump or not you need to play nice.
Friends don't dump inferior products from China on other friends
Trump doesn’t have any friends, he has sycophants.
Friends don't gossip about friends This truely has hurt Canadian workers.
A d the only ones who pay the tariff are consumers, not the selling country, Donald
Lol- where is the headline when loser JustinTrudeau is talking behind his back?!
Friends don't mock you at elite cocktail parties either.
Donald Trump for your information about children immune system is NOT FULLY DEVELOPED UNTIL they are YOUNG ADULT . You are definitely WRONG .
Hardly anyone likes Justin Trudeau anyways I don’t
Friends? OMG between the incompetent and petulant occupant of the PMO, his obnoxious deputy C_freeland and the never-ending bombardment of TDS from the Liberal Propaganda Machine which includes you aka MSM I think it more appropriate to use the term 'Frienemies'
He invited Trudeau to the white house to talk about nafta and Trudeau said no, yet you blame this on trump?
We got rid of our booty buddy four years ago.
FRIENDS DONT SNUB FRIENDS AT USMCA SIGNING CEREMONIES. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. And now we canadians suffer .
Friends don't sell friends shitty communist aluminum and claim it's Canadian.
this is on Turdeau, not on Trump.... he is doing what is best for his country. Canada hasn't had a leader doing that for 5 1/2 years
What friend, Canada!? You should have learned long time ago, the “neighbour” is not a “friend”! It is Paul Rand like friend!! Will break your ribs if he can!! 🤮
It’s shameful that our media doesn’t even take 10 minutes to do some basic research.The facts are 4.2 billion tonnes of Aluminum is being imported to Canada and added to it's 2.9 billion tonnes of produced. So there's a good argument that the aluminum is being dumped in the USA.

Friends like LIBERAL FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES don't give sole source contracts to another province who outsource to Georgia because they didn't have a factory. Hey FORD how many factories in Ontario could have use that multi-million contact?
