After President Trump imposed tariffs on Canada on Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emitted an extraordinary statement that was largely overlooked. He called it “The excuse that he’s giving for these tariffs today of fentanyl is completely bogus, completely unjustified, completely false.” Trudeau claimed it was “ending the economic collapse of the Canadian economy because that would make it easier to take over Canada.”
Trudeau transitioned from a “governor” and “51st state” to his illustrations of major events, which he later lost in the black hole of the moment. Therieve he presented, including the February Calls on February 3, were not just about tariffs; they were about a new strategic alliance.
On the February calls, the two leaders discussed the border between Canada and the United States. Trump’s rhetoric was deemed unconvincing by the Canadian arts community, while the region’s expert groups, including the Five Eyes, expressed skepticism over Trump’s stance.
By March, the trade war had intensified, with North American leaders penning a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to exchange trade policies. The U.S. imposed tariffs on Canadian goods without a grace period setting in until July. Canada met this week and plans to abide by the MoU, reducing tariffs to prevent economic disruption, but Trump plans to peg U.S. Olympics to Canada’s.
