Many Canadians will remember that we went through the tariff issue with Trump in his first term and it didn’t go well.

In 2018 , as in 2024 , Trump said he was bringing in tariffs for a specific issue we should listen to what he is saying about that issue.

The idea that Canadian steel and aluminum were threats to America ’s national security was a laughable claim, but it's not why we got the tariffs put on us.

Trudeau 's comments lamenting Trump beating Kamala Harris made headlines in the U.S. and were surely seen by Trump .

During a conference call on Wednesday , Canada ’s premiers had to tell Trudeau bluntly that his comments were not helpful at this time.

It's sad that almost a month into dealing with this issue, the only leadership we are seeing is coming from provincial premiers.
