Canada Prepares to Defend itself from the US
With the Trump regime set to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canada’s exports, British Columbia is deploying cherry tomatoes and cucumbers to defend itself. Premier David Eby is touting a “Buy BC” Program starting with food and produce.
Of the tariff, says Eby, “We have everything we need to get through this,” Eby told a Friday news conference. He pointed out that 10,000 products carry the “Made in BC” moniker, enough to sustain residents and inflict pain on exporters in America’s red states.
Other sources of pain: British Columbia is a major supplier of natural gas and strategic minerals to the US. The vast majority of its populace lives near the border and crosses to shop. An old Whatcom County joke: What are the first words spoken by a B.C. toddler? Answer: “Attention, Kmart shoppers.”
The intellectually lazy Trump didn’t realize that his desire to make Canada “the 51st state” would trigger a backlash in the Great White North. The sower of wind is reaping the whirlwind. The threat of Trump has unified Canadians of all stripes.
