Summary
Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.
Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.
British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.
Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.
I’m rooting for you, Canada. The US needs to reap the consequences of what we’ve sown.
It would be nice if the other half of Americans weren’t just standing around watching this happen, but thanks.
Don’t root for us, root for yourselves. We don’t need your moral support, we need you guys to put a stop to your country’s slide into fascism before its too late.
