Beyond waging a tariff war, target the US president’s dependence on dirty money.
In my view, Canada can inflict real personal pain on Trump using nothing but domestic legislation, your regulations and diplomatic savvy. Do it right and you can also effectively pressure his broligarch enablers.

Crack down on crypto corruption.
Shine light on shady real estate buyers.
Tackle tax havens and money laundering.
Punish broligarchs for the social harm they cause.
Canada is known to have some corners of its real estate market with financial opacity problems. Well, guess who built a business leveraging exactly that?
