It's fundamentally insane that the conclusion you come to is blaming Doug Ford and not the toddler who would sabotage his own country's international negotiations over a benign advertisement.

The US is going to feel significantly more pain from its completely irrational approach to global economics than Canada is. Canada has historically had a close economic relationship with the US because of shared values, but they do not strictly need a close economic relationship with the US to thrive. There is an entire world out there happy to trade with Canada. Meanwhile the US is alienating itself from every single one of its allies simultaneously.



The US has a much stronger hand than Canada. The majority of our exports go to the US, but only 17% of US imports come from us.


For now, but that isn't immutable. Canada can build relationships with other nations instead. That's the neat thing about free trade.
