Prime Minister Carney says Canada and the U.S. working together, as pals, can help make America great. While the U.S. Commerce Secretary simply says we "suck." So, is Canada taking the high road to hell? Trade lawyer Barry Appleton explains why behaving like we're still great friends with our southern neighbours could lead us into a world of economic pain.

I don’t know what you are talking about. We obviously have many people who have to be on a (tight) budget right now. I never said that I want cheap or that I don’t shop Canadian.

I am all for that. I just don’t think counter tariffs are a solution.

The whole polarization and anger gets us nowhere. People do what they can and yeah sure some don’t care. The whining from the USA on how nasty we are though tells me enough Canadians (including me) care and that the boycott is working.

    There is a very, very large gulf between "Systematic dismantling of Free Trade" and "100% Tariffs on everything tomorrow!" which is which is what you seem to be implying. You don't build Rome in a day. Not unless you want to see it burn tomorrow. If you want people to give you the benefit of the doubt, don't start by straw-manning their statements.
