I don’t think Canada has an opinion. It’s a country, not a person.
And the many and varied opinions of the Canadian people don’t seem to matter very much either, since the Canadian provincial governments impose tarrifs on imports from the other Canadian provinces all the time. Sauce for the goose and all that.
Are those provinces' trade policies very chaotic? Do those provinces threaten to invade/take-over the other province? Do any of the tariffs reach 50%, the figure Trump mentioned this week? [1] If not then it seems like the comparison to the current U.S. Republicans’ actions isn’t very comparable.
Good lord. When you see a headline that reads, e.g., "White House Announces New Policy," do you think "Harrumph. The White House can't 'announce' anything. It's a building, not a person"?
