    So many people come and give doomer statements on the reality of the US and Canada becoming increasingly at odds.

    As a US citizen, I just want to add that I hope some day we can reestablish a healthy relationship with our neighbors. These articles are saddening.

      It won't happen in our lifetime. American's are yet to fully understand the impact, it will take 50 years or more to go back to 2024.

        The Trump presidency, and his absurd trade wars, are deeply unpopular in the US. I'd be shocked if most Canadians don't understand this fully and see Trumpism for the personality-driven anomaly that it is.

          They're unpopular, but we're apparently a fickle and short-memoried people with few real legal safeguards or principles.

          Trump was deeply unpopular at the end of his first term too, and Americans still went back for a second bite.

          We gotta look inward and, metaphorically speaking, go to rehab.
