Trade need not be a war
I honestly believe Trump is wrong blanketing Canada in with Mexico and China in his tariffs. I'm a Canadian but have been a staunch Trump supporter. Attacking a primary trade partner is a mutually assured destruction scenario. Canadians have been burdened with the stupidity of Justin Trudeau and are sick of him. He has caused untold suffering on Canadians. But this is causing Canadians to rally around him. It's causing former Trump allies within Canada to taking a more combative stance.
Pierre Poilievre is taken from the mold of Donald Trump; even he's no longer thinking the way he was two months ago. Trump has torpedoed trade, torpedoed a friendly partner, torpedoed inflation fighting in both countries, he has torpedoed goodwill, he has torpedoed international markets, he has torpedoed conservatism in Canada that was on the rise. It's tarnished America's reputation in many, many countries.
There are going to be unintended consequences that come out of this, guaranteed. They won't be small, and they could have a long lasting negative impact on all involved.
I get what Trump is trying to do, I do. I still support his agenda. But what he is doing with Canada, he is not going about in the most productive way.
