The new tariffs have sown anger and confusion among America’s neighbors to the north who say they feel betrayed by a longtime friend.

Summary

Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.

Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.

British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.

Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.

    I think in this case, y’all is more accurate. At least to my understanding. “All y’all” is for every single person in a group, based on my understanding. “Y’all” is the group as a whole. As someone who voted against Trump twice, I’m fine being lumped in with my stupid brethren. We deserve it. But I really don’t want to be seen as one member of that stupid group or people.

    Splitting hairs, I know, but what else would we do in Internet forums!?

      But I really don’t want to be seen as one member of that stupid group or people.

      Let me ask you, when you think of Germany in 1940, do you think deeply about all the Germans who weren’t Nazis?

      Whether we like it or not, that’s how history will remember us. The only ones who are remembered outside of that tend to people who fought against Nazism at great personal risk. I am in poverty and in ill health, I will doubtfully be able to achieve that kind remembrance for myself, more likely to become a statistical death, one of the many killed in Trump’s consolidation of power.
