Experts say annexing by ‘economic force’ involves more than just tariffs
The first shots of the trade war between the United States and Canada have been fired.
Whether it escalates beyond the planned 25 per cent tariff into a wider economic war depends upon how genuinely serious President Donald Trump is about annexation, experts say.
Tariffs are one thing. While painful and destructive, experts agree duties alone would not crush the Canadian economy, nor the political establishment, into submission.
Prior to his inauguration, Trump threatened to use “economic force” to compel Canada to become the 51st state in the union.

What does a full-blown economic war look like? Think sanctions, import and export restrictions, trade embargoes, theft of intellectual property.
No, that’s how they fumbled the ball down south. “Oh, look at this dumbass felon, no one will vote for him!” Well it may have worked, but enough people voted for no one that he won anyways. If the Liberals want to win they need to show us why we should vote for them, not just hoping PP will make himself look bad. I’d argue he already has but clearly a lot of people disagree.

I agree. I just don’t want to talk up Carney, I’d rather he show us why he’s awesome. And I want PP to show us why he’s an asshole.
