It’s no secret that Canadian foreign policy and economy are intricately tied to that of our southern neighbours. For Trump’s second term in office, the stakes are even higher as immigration, tariffs, military defence funding, and the rise of populism are front and centre. Around 75 per cent of Canadian goods and services are exported to America, and Trump’s proposed 10 per cent tariff on all foreign imports could significantly affect Canadian suppliers. Therefore, a second Trump term will definitely put pressure on Canada to spend more on the military. Whether it be through the profit of businesses and resource exporters, foreign immigration policies, re-allocation of government funds, or the rise of populism, the impact of Trump’s administration is sure to be felt among Canadians.
