Canada vs. Trump: Tariffs, Tensions, and a Nation's Response

In a rare move, four Republican senators—Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins—joined Democrats to oppose

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

They voted to end the emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs, calling them economically harmful and

unconstitutional.

Rand Paul said, 'Taxation without representation is tyranny.' Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a 25% counter-tariff on U.S.-made

cars not covered by CUSMA.

The move targets $3 billion in imports and aims to protect Canadian jobs.

Carney warned of more tariffs if the U.S.

escalates.

Stellantis has already paused production in Ontario due to the trade war.

Trump claimed the U.S.

subsidizes Canada by $200 billion and accused Canada of unfair dairy tariffs.

Experts say the trade deficit is much smaller and not a subsidy.

High dairy tariffs only apply beyond quotas, and the U.S.

rarely exceeds them.

Trump’s numbers?

Way off.

Trump’s trade war has sparked a wave of Canadian patriotism.

Conservatives are being urged to return to their anti-American roots, with leader Pierre Poilievre pledging to 'put Canada

first.' A recent poll shows a 10% jump in Canadians who are 'very proud' to be Canadian.

A Moncton high school canceled a band trip to New York, citing political tensions and border unpredictability.

Parents were upset they weren’t consulted.

The school district said it acted out of caution amid the escalating Canada-U.S.

trade conflict.

Don Patel was dropped as a Conservative candidate after endorsing a post calling for deportations to India.

The incident reignited debate over extremism and diaspora politics, especially around the Khalistan movement and its impact on

Canada-India relations.

A Canadian writer living in Maine shared a heartfelt essay on how U.S.-Canada relations have changed.

Once seamless, the border now feels like a divide.

Her garden, with both nations’ flags, stands as a symbol of hope amid political storms.
