President Trump may have stopped his plans to impose crashed tariffs Canada, pulling two countries from the edge of a trade war. But the evidence of the harm Mr. Trump caused the relations between the two nations.
After threatening levies in Canada, and Canada threatened revenge, Mr. Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday made an agreement for a 30-day refund in the beer war in exchange for new measures to fight the flow of fentanis throughout the northern border.
But it left many Canadians vividly.
And the threatening rhetoric of Mr. Trump, especially his repeated statements, that he wants the United States to be annexed to Canada and make him 51.
“It has significantly damaged the relationship and there will be a sorting period,” said Jon Parmenter, a professor of North America history in Cornell. “It has triggered really significant and striking emotional answers. It is very raw for humans. “
Mr. Parmenter noted that being an American far less populated neighbor was not always comfortable for Canadians, who are deeply aware of their dependence on trading with the United States and know that there are so many things that come from their superpower – from pop culture to economic falls – affect their life.
According to Pierre Elliotta Trudeau, former Canadian Prime Minister and father of the current one: “Living beside you is like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even a striking beast, if I can call it, one is hit by every twitch and grumble .
But, added Mr. Parments, rubbing in this addiction as Mr. Trump did with his appeal on annexation and repeated complaints in Canada, which is a little in return, she touched a visceral response in Canadian society.
History is important
Although Canada was described as the closest friend of the United States for more than one century, until World War II he was actually economically and politically closer to Britain. The Newfoundland Atlantic Province and Labrador was a British colony until she joined Canada, which she did only in 1949.
Events such as the Vietnam War, brutal suppression in the south of protests during the Civic Rights and Invisions Movement under Iraq under the leadership of the United States in 2003, against which Canada strongly opposed, sometimes tested that friendship.
But in general, this was marked by moments like the Canadian response on September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
As the United States flights were grounded, about 7,000 air passengers on dozens of redirected flights, mostly Americans, were taken over by the residents of Gander, Newfoundland, a community of only 11,000 people. Scenes of cardiac hospitality in one of the worst American moments were recounting in the Broadway musical “comes from far away”.
In his emotional address of the nation on Saturday, Mr. Trudeau, who made sure that he directs his comments to Canadians and Americans, did not forget these relationships.
He quoted President John F. Kennedy, who said about Canada: “Geography has made our neighbors, history has made us friends, the economy has made American partners and the need has made us allies.”
And added: “From the beaches of Normandy to the Korean Peninsula Mountain, from Flander to Kandahara Street, we fought and died with you during your darkest hours.”
A team of Canada
The target of Mr. Trump in Canada created a rare consensus among Canadians and among politicians who had argued until last week in the midst of one of the most beautiful political periods in recent history of the country.
But for Mr. Trudeauu, the leader of the opposition Pierre Poilievre -and other older politicians, there is currently only one game in Canadian politics: Team Canada.
“We need the first plan of Canada who is good for this country,” said Mr. Poilievre, leader of a conservative opposition, as a reaction to a tariff fight. And while Mr. Poilievre has built a great advantage at the polling stations over the Liberal Party of Mr. Trudeauu, emphasizing what he describes as the premiere failure, he reduced these attacks for the last few days to focus on a union.
Mr. Trudeau jumped at this point rally-flag. “At this point, we have to connect because we love this country,” he said on Saturday night, when the tariffs should have started in just over 48 hours. “We don’t pretend to be perfect, but Canada is the best country on Earth,” he added.
Chrystia Freeland, a former finance minister, who is candidated to replace Mr. Trudeau as a leader of the Liberal Party, tried to capture the mood of the nation during an interview with Fareed Zakari on CNN over the weekend.
“We must be hurt because we are your friends and neighbors, but most of all, we are angry and we are united and determined,” she said, adding “Canada is a real north, strong and free,” the echo of the Canadian state anthem.
Public thinking studies suggest that these politicians are aligned with public mood: 91 percent sought them to say that they want to reduce relief to the United States, According to a survey that Angus Reid spent on Sunday and Monday.
The poll also found a 10 percentage point jump from December in the number of people who declared themselves a “very proud” Canadians, and a similar jump in the percentage of Canadians, saying that they feel “a deep emotional attachment to Canada.”
Speaking on a campaign in Windsor, Ontario, Mark Carney, former Governor of Canada and Bank of England, who also applies to replace Mr. Trudeauu, said he traveled on the country by looking for support for his campaign and finding the mood of Canadians to the United States as ” initially confusion and confusion. “
But more and more, he added, there is “real enthusiasm and energy to deal with things under our conditions, because we do not want to wake up every morning and check social media to find out how it affects our country.”
‘I feel really betrayed’
The chances that thousands of car -the routine is released if the Tariff of Mr. Trump was eventually established, threatening 25 percent of tariffs to be afraid of many people in Windsor, which is the heart of the Canadian automotive industry and sits just over Detroit.
And even shook the Canadians who once supported Mr. Trump – a minority of the population, according to polls.
Joe Butler, a trucker who wears new cars and trucks from a factory owned by a car manufacturer Stellantis, the largest Windsor employer, with a highway hall in Toronto, is one of many Canadians with family ties with the United States.
His great -grandfathers moved from the United States in Albert, in Western Canada, where some of his distant relatives were still ranch before his grandfather moved east to Ontario.
During the break of the summer school, Mr Butler joined his father, truck trucks, in a cabin while running to the United States. “Growing up, I loved the culture of America: people, lifestyle, landscape,” said Mr Butler, whose burden usually consists of vehicles gathered in Stellantis factories in Mexico and the United States.
Mr. Trump’s promise to renew America, Mr. Butler said, he echoed with him. “I was 100 percent behind him as a Canadian,” Mr Butler said.
“Now I just shake my head and say, where are you going?” he said. “You just left and hit us completely in nuts. It’s scary.”
If the auto industry stops, Mr. Butler said, he has a small service to deliver beer, wine and alcoholic beverages to which he may fall for revenue. But, he added, most of his friends and family members lack such opportunities.
Mr Butler, who buys foods for his family, now boycotts American products. And he wants Canada to find a way to cut as much as possible the United States.
“I don’t care if they will close the border, we can live alone,” he said. “I still love America, and my job depends on the American economy. But now I feel really betrayed. “
