Canada HITS EVEN HARDER…
As the U.S.-Canada trade war deepens, Canadian leadership across the political spectrum is uniting in a fierce, gloves-off counter-offensive against the Trump administration. From erecting defiant border signs to aggressively pivoting economic alliances toward the European Union, Canada is signaling that it is prepared to permanently restructure its future away from American reliance. Read the full breakdown below.
1. "Unhinged" Memes and Defiant Border Signs
Canadian provincial leaders are holding nothing back in their condemnation of President Trump's escalating rhetoric. British Columbia Premier David Eby publicly slammed Trump's social media behavior as "unhinged," "bizarre," and "disturbing." In a highly visible rebuke, Eby announced that B.C. is unveiling new welcome signs at its border crossings that read: "Welcome to BC, Canada. Strong, proud and never the 51st state. SORRY."
Former Quebec Premier Jean Charest also fired back at Trump's threats against Canadian aerospace giant Bombardier. Charest pointed out that Bombardier planes actually contain more American-made components than their U.S. competitors, warning that Trump's bans will effectively result in the U.S. "shooting themselves in both feet" by destroying their own suppliers across 40 states.
2. The Rapid Global Pivot Under PM Carney
Midas Canada head Charlie Angus highlighted that Prime Minister Mark Carney currently enjoys an unprecedented 85% approval rating as the country rallies behind his hardline stance. Rather than capitulating, Canada is treating the U.S. as a "toxic, psychopathic relationship" and aggressively seeking reliable partners elsewhere.
Angus noted that Canada has rapidly accelerated its strategic, economic, and defense alliances with the European Union and Asia, cutting through years of standard bureaucracy in a matter of months. By successfully shifting global trade by 11% in a single year, Canada is demonstrating to the world that it can survive—and thrive—while actively decoupling from the United States.

3. The 9/11 Anniversary Contrast
As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Angus reflected on the stark contrast between historic U.S.-Canada solidarity and the current hostility. He recalled the famous story of Gander, Newfoundland, where a small Canadian town selflessly took in 7,000 stranded Americans after the airspace was closed.
Angus lamented that the goodwill of that era has been poisoned by the Trump administration's constant insults and threats to Canadian sovereignty. Noting that Canadians now overwhelmingly view the U.S. government as an adversary, Angus delivered a scathing direct message to Trump: "We hate you because you're just a weak, destructive, narcissistic fool who is destroying your country... In Canada, we're not laughing. We're just getting ready and we're carrying on."
