Trudeau did what he had to do and showed leadership. His speech over the weekend is probably the most impactful result of this trade dispute caused by Trump. Canadians are fully aware of that the US can no longer be trusted and sparked a degree of collectivism that I personally haven’t seen since Vancouver 2010.
Canadians need to do their part and continue to buy local and be self aware of products that come from the US. The true test in all of this is that if the premiers and federal government can finally band together and stop playing regional politics. The time to diversify is now. This was a warning shot by the US that could still have significant consequences. We need to get our act together and pursue better interprovincial investments and more international trade.
