Canada will leap frog over the US. No country, anywhere, can trust Trump.
The best anchor for any economy is trust.
We entered in good faith into trade negotiations with Trump 1.0.
The sociopathic convicted felon ripped it up two weeks into his new term as US President. First, he lies about Canada flooding the States with fentanyl and illegal migrants. Not only do we call that out, we beef up border security by $1.3B. Then he says he wants to annex us, to make Canada his MAGA colony.
Trump does this to the one country that’s proven itself for decades to be the most reliable ally and trading partner any country in history could have. The lesson to the global community is that if the United States can do this to Canada, then they will do it to anyone. Trump proves again and again he cannot be trusted.
It will hurt Canadian workers and their families, Canadian businesses like a damn for the next little while. But we will get through it, and be all the stronger.
But Trump is bringing a world of pain to his own people. The damage he’s doing to them will continue for generations.
