Marko Papic on how Canadians are reacting to Trump's trade war

I want you to pay attention to this giant Canadian flag behind me on the BC legislative building in Victoria, British Columbia, the capitol of the province.  It's indicative of the kind of nationalism that's sprung up, not just in Canada, but in other places as well in the world as a reaction to the realization that the Trump administration is no longer representing this magnanimous American one can rely on.  Rather, most of these countries have to do some painful structural reforms.

What that means for Canada in particular is the upcoming legislative bill called The One Canadian Economy Bill, which, for the first time in Canadian history, is going to bring down trade barriers between provinces and spur more... left-right trade rather than north-south, which Canada has been doing for most of its existence, effectively depending on American demand.
