I am perturbed by the framing of the #TrumpTariffs against #Canada that I regularly see in the #Press, both domestic and foreign.

Specifically: "Canada and the US have been locked in a tariff war"

No, the US unilaterally, illegally, and with no rational justification imposed tariffs (functionally sanctions) on Canada, who was forced to respond.

After a blown deadline, what next for US-Canada trade?

There are pressures on both sides to give businesses a reprieve, but the tone remains markedly downbeat.
