‘It’s a little bit too much like the story of Little Red Riding Hood, in which Canada fails to see the big teeth grinning at it.’
Canadians are rightfully angry. Our best friend has stabbed us in the back with tariffs and while we laughed for a while, we are now tired of the 51st state joke.
However, if Canadians want to preserve our sovereignty we need to set aside our emotions and face facts.
We cannot win a trade war. Or any kind of war. The US Gross Domestic Policy is about $25 trillion, and at $2.2 trillion, Canada’s is not even a tenth of that. In other words, the Doberman meets the chihuahua in the alley. Guess who wins that fight?
