AI-generated content may be incorrect.For years, Canada and the U.S. had a sibling rivalry. Sure, we had our disputes, but at the end of the day, we worked together.
But now?  It’s less “friendly competition” and more “Goliath throwing a tantrum because David won’t just roll over.”
The U.S. is picking fights, throwing tariff punches, and blaming literally everyone but itself for its problems.  And Canada?  We’re standing here, taking the hits, shrugging, and quietly preparing to win the long game.  Even while threats are made daily to our own sovereignty.
For anyone who forgot:  David won!

Goliath’s Temper Tantrum: The U.S. Trade War on Canada

Here’s how it’s playing out:
🔴 The U.S. economy is in shambles. $36 trillion in debt, corporate greed at an all-time high, the middle class getting squeezed out of existence.
🔴 Rather than fix its own problems, the U.S. starts blaming its allies.   Suddenly, Canada is a trade villain.
🔴 Tariffs get thrown around like confetti. First, it’s dairy. Then it’s aluminum. Then it’s oil. Next, it’s probably going to be maple syrup because why not?
🔴 Canada says, “Uh, we actually don’t need most of what you sell us.” We start buying local, strengthening our economy, and canceling travel to the U.S.  Oh, but now the US is stopping Canadians from entering, requiring visas from Canadians and unlawfully detaining Canadian citizens.
🔴 The U.S. starts feeling the financial pain.  American businesses that depend on Canadian consumers start screaming, but their government gaslights them into thinking it’s “for their own good.”

But What’s the Reality About Tariffs?
Let’s actually break it down since the people pushing this nonsense seem to have selective amnesia or a willful lack of awareness of facts.  Read the full article and who is winning!
