Canada is in the midst of a national awakening, with a renewed sense of patriotism sweeping across the country in the face of Donald Trump’s tariff threats. The “Buy Canadian” movement which took off as the tariffs were supposed to be introduced on 1 February — now due to come into effect in March — has started having a tangible impact on retail markets. More and more shoppers are forgoing American made goods for their Canadian counterparts. The biggest beneficiary of this newfound love for crown and country seems to be the country’s previously struggling Liberal Party, which is experiencing a level of support not seen since 2023.
All Liberals are the same. A newish old face won’t change that.
