Trade War

So now it's official: there is a trade war between the U.S. and Canada. Do we really know what for? The POTUS claims it's about fentanyl coming over the border, but that dangerous chemical ain't exactly plentiful coming out of my country, a land of law and order. It's just a flimsy excuse; a way to heap abuse and utter untruths about a country that will not bow down to the whims of a pathetic clown. Sadly, in this situation between traditionally friendly nations there will only be tit-for-tat retaliation, and the economic devastation will in no way bring validation to the asinine machinations of the current U.S. administration. The Pumpkinfuhrer only wants to sow devastation. He is truly an abomination and is now being confronted without hesitation. His actions have certainly set a serious tone. "America First" is about to become "America Alone".

Jim, my Canadian neighbor, I’d call him a clown if the situation was even a wee bit funny. The saddest part of the actions and misdeeds of the current administration is that my entire country will be accused of the atrocious things he says and does. What hypocrisy is his mantra of making America great again. It’s never been a country so maligned by the world because of the greed of power hungry men.

Canadians have every right to be offended, and if I were native to your soil I'd be livid to think any American, much less a president would be arrogant enough to act like such an ass. It's not our countries that are at odds. It's the oddball who has crowned himself king, usurping the power of Congress. I do pray for the madness to stop.

Lin, my American neighbour, your words certainly ring true. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that there would be such divisiveness between our two countries. The anger being expressed by Canadians right now is almost palpable. Unlike Ukraine, however, Canada has a number of cards to play. Hopefully, they won't have to be used. Take care, my friend. Pray for our nations. J.
