Submission Statement: According to President Kennedy, „geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends, economics has made us partners and necessity has made us allies“. Now, to a manner even worse than during Bush’s invasion of Iraq, the president has turned one of our closest national allies and partners into an enemy. According to this article, the damage will last a generation.
Commentary: There is no evidence that Canada was pursing a predatory relationship towards its more powerful neighbor- in fact the trade balance inverts when oil is removed from the equation. Instead, Canadians will now see the United States as an expansionist predator, similar to how China’s and Russia’s neighbors view those superpowers.
Besides, any GOP president in 2029, even if he wants to avoid conflicts, will likely have limited room for maneuver anyway thanks to the current president’s grip on the conservative grassroots.

But they have no issue with being on the winning end of a trading deficit, do they? I also feel betrayed when business doesn’t go my way. But if i’m winning and others are losing, i’m cool with it, baby
Trump himself negotiated USMCA, if he feels it’s unfair then he needs to work on his deal making abilities.
Remember those parodies of snooze inducing political discussion in The Simpsons. That would have been nice with Kamala, literally something to doze off to in relation to the minutiae of Canadian US trade relations while doing a crossword on a Friday afternoon with a coffee that has no power against the tedium, vastly preferable to this circus.
This whole thing is once again proof that Trump doesn’t understand how to conduct diplomacy; in attempting to deal a personal blow to Prime Minister Trudeau, he’s set back relations on our continent to their lowest level since before the Great Rapprochement. Canada is one of America’s closest allies (if not THE closest). If the goal was to get Canada to meet its NATO defense commitments and and more strictly guard it’s borders, surely there was a better way to do it than this?
First time?
Good. I hope American businesses and jobs that rely on Canadian trade suffer.
It’s time the rest of us feel Trump like all the women who have told him no and he raped anyways.
