Canada-U.S. history provides lessons on how Canada can deal with a hostile Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s threat of 25 per cent tariffs against Canada — combined with his ongoing denigration of Canadian sovereignty, including his recent threat to take the country “by economic force” — have Canadians rightly concerned about the immediate future.

Unfortunately, the federal government’s initial reaction to Trump 2.0 has not inspired confidence.
