Since you apparently won't shut the fuck up, I'll make your case for you.
Canada has enjoyed an unfair advantage for decades. And now the baby bottle is getting yanked. Canada's export market is deeply entrenched in a schema based on trade with the USA. They will either have to retool to expand trade with EU/Asia, or seek trade parity with their southern neighbor. To me, the choice is obvious. Trump isn't even asking for much, just equality. But you don't want that, you need it to be unfair in your favor. So your leaders make idle threats because standing up to Trump makes Canadians howl with joy... an empty and very temporary feeling.
You're about to say all of that is wrong or uninformed, but you won't back your statement up with why.
"Unfair advantage? Canada sells the U.S. crude oil at a massive discount due to pipeline constraints, saving Americans billions on energy. Meanwhile, Trump himself called the USMCA ‘the best deal ever’, a trade agreement he negotiated. If America was getting an unfair deal, why did he sign it and brag about it?"
The USMCA replaced NAFTA, with stronger protections for U.S. industries. including dairy, auto manufacturing, and digital trade.
Canada is the largest customer of the U.S., buying more American goods than China, Japan, and the UK combined.
