Washington keeps talking tariffs like they’re a weapon aimed north. Problem is, a big chunk of what comes “from Canada” is actually the guts of what America builds, fuels, and sells.
Trump doesn’t understand how tariffs actually impact US manufacturing, perhaps he just doesn’t care. He assumes any country that is threatened with US tariffs will just fold and accept them because the US is so “mighty”. Wrong again.
Fortunately, Trump’s ‘51st state’ rhetoric has sparked an overwhelming response, not just from Canada but from most northern countries, and has resulted in a more cohesive community of the North ready to assert our interests and sovereignty against power-hungry neighbours.

Americans see Canada as just part of the American economy. Canadian businesses too addicted to the USA economy
Integration cuts both ways. The U.S. depends heavily on Canadian energy, resources, and components too.
What may change over time is the balance, not the relationship itself.
Yes that needs to be adjusted
