I have to say... I am so proud of Canada. Carney's speech on Middle Powers and essentially predatory hegemony was a history defining moment. The people known for being nice were betrayed by the geopolitical equivalent of family. In the face of struggle, they found resilience in national pride. It breaks my heart too. Most Americans don't want this. To me, Canada has been our closest ally. Our cherished friend.
In the polls, Canada is destroying Trump. Around 80% of Americans have a positive view of Canada, going as high as 87%, while Trump's approval is drum roll 38.1% as of today. Another case where the will of the people is not reflected by the actions of the government.
If you are an unfeeling person, not persuaded by opinion, empathy, or feelings... we (the US) have a massive strategic advantage of being surrounded by only friendly countries who have become part of a deeply interconnected economy and culture. Literally our top two trading partners. Being huge jerks to them is profoundly harmful to our national security, to our soft power, to our economy, and to our people. Call your representatives. Let your voices be heard.
To Canadians: keep fighting the good fight.
