The US-Canada trade war is stuck. Trump says he is "in no rush," and Washington will hold its position until Canada wants to "get to yes." Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney courts Europe, China and India, even though about 72 percent of Canada's goods exports still go to the United States, and two provinces question Canada itself.
The Canada Arctic NATO race is accelerating. Russia controls the Northern Sea Route. China pursues its Polar Silk Road. Canada just announced $40,000 million in Arctic defense investments — including NORAD modernization, radar systems, and base upgrades. The frozen frontier is no longer remote. It is the next great-power battleground.
Carney claims “the U.S. has changed,” but Canada has long maintained trade barriers hitting 270% on American dairy. President Trump finally confronted Ottawa's protectionist supply-management system, over-quota tariffs and “buy Canadian” rules choking U.S. exports. Real allies don't hide behind 300% walls then demand reciprocity from Washington.
