“Until Alex Pretti was murdered, the biggest story of the weekend was Donald Trump’s threat to impose 100 percent tariffs on Canada. Obviously Pretti and the backlash that followed were far more important than trade policy. But while the murder of Pretti and its consquences are the most important issue for America right now, we shouldn’t let the attack on Canada slide. We are, after all, talking about a destructive rupture with a neighbor that was, until Trump returned to power, one of our closest allies and remains our second most important trading partner. And Trump and his minions are lying about the reasons for that rupture.” (01/27/26)
