The latest voting data confirms everything you have heard about the boycott of American goods and the cancellation of holidays in response to the fee war against us. We still have a fight. We are not in the mood to accept, and only four percent of Canadians will entertain the idea that Americans should be Americans.
No matter how this terrible drama works, this can be a bitter pain for many of us. But it looks like we have it. That is the good news.
The Trump’s fare war will not always be enough that US importers, manufacturers and consumers will always be enough to control their president’s tragedy and Megalomania.
Effective Canadian opposite measures can make it very difficult to withstand that pain, and we need to turn the knife as mercilessly and strategically as much as possible, and we can still consider some American states or businesses as friends and friendly countries.
But we have to stop playing. With the appearance of things, Canadians do not play. The war of Trump has been a serious threat to Canadian sovereignty as we have to face since the 1940s.

Conducting regular ambulance in trade mutual landscapes can go so far, and all kinds of advanced-satisfaction ideas create circuits. Former Canadian former Admiral Mark Norman revealed his own on Tuesday.
“Like many Canadians I am looking at – worrying – endless rhetoric and exaggerated threats to our economy and sovereignty. To be blunt, our reactions to date are tactical, reaction and transaction,” Norman wrote in x. “It’s time to abandon gloves and be serious.
“Beyond continuously focusing on trade issues, we recommend that we consider our protections under NATO section 4.”
This will open an interesting conversation, tell the least. Skinflint of Canada is one of the 32 member states of the North Atlantic Contract. But the point of the 4th section is that “whenever the regional integrity of any parties, political freedom or security is threatened,” it forces the NATO leadership to consult its member states. It describes what’s going on here.
If nothing else, Norman’s idea illustrates the attraction of Trump’s actions. In NATO’s 76 -year period, Section 4 has been implemented only seven times, all of which are relatively recent. Since 2003, Turkey has called for threats from Iraq and Syria five times in NATO, and European countries across Russia have called Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine twice.

The Canadians are not properly corrosion for the fighting with Americans, but the general mood is more militant than the politicians of Canada. Conservatives Pierre Poyleevere may be the only federal leader in re -creating Canada’s empty economy in ways that are not dependent on American civilization, but it has done no good for him.

This does not seem to be too much, but with the Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, compared to Trudeau, the Canadians are becoming an obvious fighters in the general mood for a fight, especially in the offshide.
Apart from the Poyleevere who wants to be vague to the question, Canada’s political class is some sort of prohibition on the desire to respond to Trump’s threatened fees with the export of Canadian energy. But most Canadians are close to Smell About to ensure that there is an export tax on energy in the Canada’s arms repository.
Smith says that any such move is “provoking the national unity crisis”, and that Trudeau does not want to use it and does not want to talk about it. But a Nanos research panel Eight out of 10 Canadians claim that all Canadian exports to the United States can handle the pain of 25 percent of the US fees, and 82 percent are going with additional exports.

Even the Quebeckers who are widely opposed to the Energy East Popline Project are heating the reason for the regain of the Canadian energy sovereignty. In November 2023, Regularly Six of the 10 Quebeckers came to support the energy corridors through the province, including Pipelines. Quebec Premier Fran ுவ ois Legold says that if the Quebeckers’ concerns are now satisfied, the revival of the Eastern Pipeline Project will be withdrawn, and this week’s voting of Angus Raid has increased from 33 per cent to 47 per cent in 2019.
There will be pain in descending on the bike. But there is a senior Canadian politician, and he seems to be close to the general mood than any of the current politicians. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harbor on Tuesday said the Canadians should find themselves again.
“If I am still Prime Minister, I will be ready for the country, and I will not be prepared to be impoverished. Now, if Trump is determined, I think he can actually do wide structural and economic damage, but I won’t accept it,” Harber said “I will accept any amount of damage to protect the country.”
Canadians must hear it from their politicians. In a fictional situation that provoked Boyleevere against the main banker, Team Trudeau Insider and Liberal Leadership, Liberal Leadership. And the electoral model Raymond Liu gives the majority to the liberals. It would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago.
Everything is flux. But the Canadians are not for Caving.
