Canada: Will Trump's Policies Hit Hard Again?

Canada, TorontoMon Dec 16 2024
Did you ever think Donald Trump could impact your life even if you moved to Canada? Meet my ex-neighbors, who did just that. They hail from the U. S. , and with Trump back in power, they're feeling the heat again. As Canada's housing crisis worsens and military alliances are threatened, it's clear Trump's presidency isn't just a U. S. issue. Imagine a world where Canada sees a sudden population boost from Americans flocking north. That sounds great, right? Not really, especially when our housing crisis is already out of control. Our cities are struggling to keep up with demand, and prices have shot through the roof. Now, let's talk about trust. Trump's cozy relationship with Russia has many Canadians worried. Could a Ukraine-like situation happen in our Arctic? It's a scary thought, but it's out there. And what about Alberta? It's politically similar to Trump's ideals, so who knows what might happen. But it's not all doom and gloom. Trump's joke about Canada becoming the 51st state isn’t just funny—it could have major economic impacts. With over 80% of our exports heading south, tariffs would hit us hard. We're talking billions in losses for both countries. And for what? Our economies are intertwined, not adversarial. So, what can we do? Fight back with tariffs like we did before? Or work together to build a better future? Let's think about that.
