From the moment Donald Trump lowered the boom on Canada after he won the U.S. presidential election, Canada has stood alone.
Weeks after his victory, he announced that goods from both Canada and Mexico would be subject to 25-per-cent tariffs, which he framed as punishment for allowing drugs and people to flow across the northern and southern U.S. borders. It was a spurious claim in Canada’s case (at least in terms of a problem flowing north to south at the border), but Canada’s fact-check fell on deaf ears. It was a lonely protest.
My bet is they hate Trudeau and won’t lend a hand.
