“Trump has recently gone berserk with his interferences of international trade for a change. How should Canada react? There are four and only four realistic options (I rule out physically attacking the US over this imbecilic action of their government). One, do nothing, stand pat, ignore this latest moronic display of economic ignorance. Two, raise our tariff levels against the US; Trump threatens that if we do so, he will reciprocate, and then we will be off to the races with a real trade war. Three, lower the barriers to trade with the US that we have previously enacted. Four, eliminate them entirely.” (12/16/25)
