Trade Reality Check Canadians want a strong, stable trade relationship with the United States — because our economy depends on it. But relationships are built on trust, credibility, and shared priorities. Right now, that trust has been badly damaged. Friction with Washington didn’t appear overnight; it traces back through years of strained relations, mixed signals, and ideological posturing from Ottawa. The concern many Canadians have isn’t about personalities — it’s about policy. When Canada prioritizes global agendas and net-zero rhetoric over competitiveness, energy security, and economic realism, we weaken our negotiating position with our largest trading partner. The result is less leverage, fewer opportunities, and growing vulnerability at a time when the U.S. is aggressively protecting its own interests. If Canada wants to be treated as a serious, sovereign partner — not an afterthought — it needs leadership focused on national prosperity first, not global applause. Do you think Canada’s current trade strategy puts our country in a position of strength with the U.S., or one of dependence? #canada #canadian #trade #economy #politics
