Joe Biden is doubling down on his promise to enforce Buy American policies once he becomes U.S. president in January.

Biden says no government contracts will be given to companies that don't manufacture their products on American soil.

He says it's all part of the incoming administration's plan to pull the country out of a pandemic-induced economic crisis. Biden made the remarks today just as the House of Commons unanimously passed a motion to invite him to address a joint session of Parliament. It's not the first time Biden has been part of an administration that sought to block foreign companies from bidding on U.S. contracts.

It took Canada nearly a year to negotiate waivers to similar rules during Barack Obama's first year as president, when Biden presided over the implementation of the 2009 Recovery Act.

JustinTrudeau what happened to US_MX_CA agreement ...looks like or borders are closed not only for non-eseential travel but also non-us essential business

Got enough Milk? gotmilk

As long as we do too. Made in Canada 🇨🇦 Our codes are up to par far better then America anyways

Beijing biden.

I warned y’all - sorry Alberta & Canada!

...USMCA?...

Obama’s “Buy American” damaged the Canadian manufacturing sector as well as our resource sector with its US content requirements for govts contracts. Biden campaigned on this. Not sure why any Canadian thought Biden was a good choice.

Sure, sure, Joe. Sure, sure.

Wouldn’t it be in a countries best interest to not outsource government contracts. Sure do other dealings but for security reasons not outsource anything government related.

I never could understand why Canadian media and other CDNs thought he would be a better choice for Canada.

lol, CTV fake news, JoeBiden I'm betting you gave them contracts to the communist government of China, Biden, any bets on Biden destroying the US economy.

Canadian businesses were just screwed by CTV's Biden

He's already sounding like the last guy MAGA

Statements like that he will have dye his hair orange

Except for Ukraine.

CTV - you forgot to mention he's trying to steal Trumps winning recipe. So you secretly like Trump all along?

good. you are going to spend tax payers dollars on US-made that is simply overpriced. and it's gov projects so it'd even more overpriced. Guess who are benefited the most?

Haha good luck with that

That’s Trump’s idea. Got any new ideas?

Get covid then talk !!

Good...take a stand against China...chinavirus

Are we stuck for news at home? Is there not a WE scandal being buried? Is not every small business in the country about to fold?Are we not dizzy with conflicting, desperately unreliable and inconsistent advice on the plague? Are we not $400 billion in deficit? Trudeau WE coverup?

Can you please tell us about the slot machines that were also used in canadian elections?

😳

So it begins... what about you biggest commercial partner, wanna leave some room to talk or should we build a wall between Canada and the US?

Oh no..what will Donnie do about his tacky shirts and ties?

Sure China Joe sure....good one

So, no different than Trump then? When is that country gonna learn about electing old white senile men.

Copy cat, trying to be like Trump lol

In theory I agree, but this encourages inefficiencies. It is a competitive product or not.

Trumpers wishing they could be mad but they’re all about that.

well could be that no one wants to deal with the US anymore...just saying. China is making all kinds of deal even with Australia leaving out the US

So, he’s doing what trump has already done? Any news on Trudeau’s “Great Reset” ? WE Scandal documents? ANYTHING CANADIAN?

We've heard this before. All due respect, not realistic. Also, not competitive.

No worries, he lost , and will be going to jail for election fraud along with Obama, Clinton’s , etc

Grrrrrrreat, another protectionist

Wow! He is repeating Trump main position

he wants them to be US companies so he can tax them and get his money back with his new proposed corporate taxes

What does Jughead have to say know. 😂😂😂

our government's failure..

Cover the We scandal.

Unless of course Biden’s family members get a kick back.

Does that mean Hunter is severing ties with Russia and Ukraine and is he going to pay back the money

Hmmm Pretty sure that's Trumps line there Joey. What gives?

Unfortunately everything is made in China. Get on it Joe I've been trying to buy shoes in North America all off shore.

Oh so a Trump policy

What's about the raw materials? Please find it out as media.

Quite a free trade deal.

Free Trade Agreement!!

Could someone please explain how this differs from 'Make America Great Again'

Just like Trump the last 4 years. Wow. 47 years and this is the best idea he has

Trump has taught him well....👏

What does the small print say? Hunter must be on the board and he will need an extra 10%!

Except for your nicest neighbor right? 🇨🇦

That's what you call protectionism. Enjoy it Canadians that cheered for this idiot.

This guy is nobody ..

Every President makes the same statement. The program used to be called Buy America.

So when will the mainstream media call this 'Trumpism'? 🤣🤣🤣 The guy sold America out for over 4 decades but now he's promising to put America first? Seems legit

How is that going to help Canada. I believe we heard that 4 years ago.

Yet you cheered when he apparently won. Democrats are horrible for Canada but is all about their divisive politics and activism.

Sing with me now. 'Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.' Cause we won't get fooled again!

No offence USA , Biden is just a idiot

No Soley built American products , or companies in Canada 🇨🇦 , bye bye ford , chev , Walmart etc etc

The Trumpism isn’t going away even tho Trump is. Canada needs to do the same!

So he’s saying fuck you Canada 🇨🇦 and everyone else

1% foothold of manufacturing in the US with 99% of manufacturing produced in cheap labour states will be any corporations work around this. I swear everyone in news is brain dead.

Yep. Really good for Canada!! 🙄🙄

Did he answer any questions from the press, or just give another teleprompter speech again? I've hardly seen him answer any even during the election campaign.

Trump said the same thing and the left got angry , Mr Magoo says it and the left bleet with joy and clap their hooves .

Biden is not president elect.

So much for NAFTA

BIDEN IS A POS GROPER JUST LIKE TRUDEAU.

!!!STOP!!! Joe Biden is not selected. Or had been selected by Fake news. We are not only fighting for President Trump but also for United States Justice and Democracy. Count All Valid Votes! CNN - Cheat News Network.

So Now he’s going to plagiarize trumps philosophy not a stretch considering he does everything else

umm Joe you are not president elect yet nor president.

Yes finally. This means more high paying green jobs in the green job sector!

And then to real news! “We don't want Communism in Canada!”: Chinese-Canadians hold MAGA rally in Vancouver

Lmfao what a joke this guy is.

his horns are coming in nicely. trump2020

Didn’t POTUS say this!?
