    I agree with you about what Americans think. However, Canada must deal with the United States as a single entity. At the moment, the United States is acting as an enemy. Until that changes, how some Americans think about it is not what matters.

      Overly simplistic take. We don’t deal with America as a single entity at all. Look at our tariff responses and the way we target specific Republican states.

      I’m not saying you need to go out and spend all your money in the US, but let’s not catastrophise here or play it up more than it is. I don’t think American voters genuinely understood or expected most of what they’re getting right now (even if they deserve it).

        Everyone who saw how trump behaved the first time Trump was president has no valid claim to that excuse.

        Anyone who listened to anything Trump said during the campaign has no valid claim to that excuse.
