CoffeeGeek@mekkaokereke I think Trump and his cronies have severely underestimated what Canada AND Mexico will do here. I can't speak for Mexico, but I know as a nation, everyone up here is beyond pissed right now.
Trump saw Colombia cave within hours, and figured we'd do something similar. That's not our game at all.
Speaking of games, the US national anthem was loudly booed at the Ottawa Senators / Minn. NHL game today. I've attended literally 100s of sporting events in Canada against US teams and teams from other countries. Not once in my life did I ever hear a single boo at a foreign anthem. This is unprecedented. And those folks aren't liberal lefties; those folks are pretty right wing, Trudeau hating types. That's a tell.
I think Canada will roll up its collective sleeves, get through 6-9 months of economic hardships and a lack of certain products, but in that time, will find new global partnerships to embrace, new trading partners for our natural resources and manufactured goods, and new partners to buy from. And we'll be much stronger for it.
The USA, in the meantime, will continue to weaken under Trump because no rational country will want to enter into any kind of trade agreement with you folks as long as he's your leader. He cannot be trusted, and he's proven it, time and time again.
