WNU Editor: I live in Canada, and the ones who are "livid" about President Trump are the media (they have been livid since his election), and the hard-core progressive/socialist left (and they have also been vehemently opposed to President Trump since day one).

If there is an issue that makes Canadians livid, it is high gas prices that have been imposed on all of us courtesy of government policies.
A couple of weeks ago my girl friend advised me that she is not buying American. That was the first time I heard that anyone had that frame of mind. Until people stop shopping in American stores, Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, Winners, Marshall's, Homesense and a raft of others it is a non issue as we really don't see a lot of made in America products. Frankly, we don't see a lot of made in Canada products either.
ReplyDeleteCanada makes retaliatory tariffs official: 'We will not back down'
ReplyDeleteCanada strikes back at the U.S. with $12.6 billion in retaliatory tariffs announced Friday.
dear editor:
ReplyDeletefor everyday citizens in most nations, it is "life as usual." The govt....any govt...if it hits back, and then the press reports it, that is not "life as usual" but a nation's reaction to what takes place.
I guess this is going to kill Log Cabin and Aunt Jemimah syrup imports to Canada.
