And it turns out that President Trump and some of his top supporters in the Maga movement don’t much like us. The US called it retaliation for Canadian trade practices. Most of the tariffs Trump recently announced were in the range of about 10%, but Canada was hit by 50% tariffs (albeit on a narrower range of exports). Carney remains popular, largely because Canadians see him as the right choice to deal with Trump. The US has some legitimate gripes with us, including trade barriers and Canada’s chronic underinvestment in defence.
