After Trump declares a trade war, Canadians grapple with a sense of betrayal
One of the world’s most durable and amicable alliances is broken. Canadians are absorbing U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and his threats to make Canada the 51st state.
Summary
Canadians feel betrayed after Trump launched a trade war, threatening 25% tariffs and even suggesting Canada become the 51st U.S. state.
Prime Minister Trudeau secured a 30-day tariff delay after pledging border cooperation, but tensions remain high.
Canadian officials announced retaliatory tariffs, while citizens boycott U.S. goods and boo the American anthem at sports events.
Experts warn the damage to U.S.-Canada relations could be long-lasting.
Western democracies are learning a hard lesson right now. You can’t let any one player get too big or too strong.
In fairness, want you said is true, in Western or not western countries and in democracies or not democracies.
Don't worry too much, the guy is just plain stupid and a racist.
HE LITERALLY SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO DIS!!
WHY YOU NO LISTEN, CANADA!?!
Some pussy deleted their comment saying NO HE DIDNT.
Oh yes he did Scroll down a bit to the economy part.
Yeah, why didn't they vote for Kamala, right?
No, why the fuck do they feel betrayed by Trump when he said he was going to place tariffs of them?
He told you what he was going to do if he got in office. The moment he won, they should have started negotiating with the EU, Asian nations, and others to undermine his bullshit. Both Canada and Mexico could have smacked him like the inept bitch he is.
- Trump says a lot of BS that he doesn't do
- Currently, he didn't do it
- Our far right wing will take the opportunity to blame our centre (aka. "far left" to them) Prime Minister for Trump doing something bad. But the more moderate right wing feels betrayed that Trump wasn't just BSing. Or seemed to not be for a period of time....or whatever
