The re-imposition of tariffs by President Trump highlights the limited control Canadian leaders have over U.S. actions. While the federal government attempts to persuade the president against harmful policies, the unpredictable nature of the Trump administration leaves Canadians questioning how to best respond. Some are advocating for increased military spending and a stronger 'Canada First' approach, while others emphasize the importance of building international partnerships and investing in the country.
Trump is forcing Canadian leaders to grapple with what they can't control — and what they can | CBC News LoadedThe last few weeks may have at least buried any remaining notion that Canadian leaders can exert much control over the current president of the United States. But Canadians can control what kind of country they want to build beside this new version of the United States.
If anything can control Trump's actions, it might be the U.S. stock market or the American consumer — both of which will have to deal with the impact that both the president's tariffs and any Canadian retaliation will have on the highly integrated North American economy. "If we are to be a sovereign, self-reliant nation, we must take control of our North, secure all of our borders and stand on our own two feet," he said. "We cannot count on the Americans to do it for us anymore."
