Trump's Canada Tariffs Spark Political Firestorm

In a rare bipartisan move, four Republican senators joined Democrats to pass a resolution opposing President Trump’s tariffs

on Canada.

The 51-48 vote challenges Trump’s use of a national emergency to justify the tariffs, which critics say are

based on false claims about fentanyl smuggling.

Senator Tim Kaine called the tariffs 'a tax on American families,' while Trump slammed the GOP defectors as

disloyal.

Trump’s tariffs have dramatically shifted Canada’s political landscape.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called a snap election, riding a wave of nationalist sentiment.

Once trailing badly, the Liberals now lead in polls, with Carney vowing to defend Canada’s sovereignty.

Trump’s rhetoric, including calling Canada the '51st state,' has sparked outrage and a surge in anti-American sentiment.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre unveiled his strategy to counter Trump’s tariffs, including tax cuts, trade renegotiations, and building

an 'economic fortress.' He pledged to protect Canadian industries and sovereignty, while accusing the Liberals of making Canada

weak.

Poilievre also promised to meet Trump post-election to seek a new trade deal.

In Western New York, demonstrators gathered on the Peace Bridge to protest Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

The protestors expressed solidarity with Canadians and concern over declining cross-border tourism and trade.

Local officials warn the tariffs could hurt regional economies dependent on Canadian visitors.

Even hockey isn’t immune to the political drama.

Canada beat the U.S.

in the Four Nations final, and the game was charged with political symbolism.

Trump’s comments about Canada being the '51st state' added fuel, while Canadian fans booed the U.S.

anthem.

Trudeau fired back after the win: 'You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.'
