The first time around, Canada managed to calm the panic, keep its nerve and wrestle the damage down. Now things are different at home. And in the world
Donald Trump smiles at an election night watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center, on Nov. 6, in West Palm Beach, Fla., has already made that clear. And we have reason to believe it: That’s what he was like the first time.
That’s what he did before. It’s what he will do now. What’s different now is that Canada has changed. On Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland suggested the government will do the same thing again. But things have changed. A lot has changed at home. In 2017, Mr. Trudeau was leading a popular first-term government and there was a cross-partisan sense that Mr. Trump’s anti-NAFTA push was an external threat summoning all hands to the pump. Brian Mulroney offered advice. Then-Conservative leader Andrew Scheer promised unity.
Ms. Freeland was probably also dreaming when she suggested that because Mr. Trump signed the new North American trade deal in 2018 – making it his deal – he would not threaten new tariffs to obtain new concessions. He did that in 2020, albeit briefly.
