Blinkered partisanship often blinds people to the fact that two things can be true at once.
You can be critical of the Liberal government’s drug and immigration policies and still believe that Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25-per-cent tariffs on America’s closest ally and second-largest trading partner is shameful.
The stakes for Canada couldn’t be higher. Trump could be bluffing, but the currency markets were spooked enough to send the Canadian dollar to a four and a half year low. Economist Trevor Tombe estimated that 25-per-cent across-the-board tariffs would send the country into recession.
30%? 40%? Mark my words Trudeau will deliberately make things worse in the hope he see’s a poll bump.
