BBC News, Toronto
A few hours after President Donald Trump announced that it would impose a sudden tariff in Canada, the capital of Ottawa, a hockey fans in the capital, booed a star -spanged banner during a hockey league match with a visit to the United States.
On Sunday, during the national basketball association with Torontorapters and Los Angelel Scrippers, it happened again, continued singing, and made most of the 15 -year -old singer arena performance.
The discomfort of the voice from fans, usually respected, is a clear sign of Trump’s movement in which Canadians hit the closest ally in punishment tax.
25 % tariffs imposed by Trump on imports of all Canadian to the United States will be valid on Tuesday.
And they come when President Trump doubles his push -in doubling -it is no longer rejected as a joke -to join the United States and become the 51st state.
While many economists project, customs duties are more exposed to Americans, from gas to food, but can be exposed to Americans, but Canada is more exposed. If they last for several months, the country may fall into a painful economic recession.
Anger is built -and at the same time, I want to adopt a battle reflected by 40 million political leaders.
“Many of us will be affected by this, and we will have several difficult times. I would like to be there for each other,” said Saturday evening speeches. Said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “It’s time to choose Canada.”
Some Canadians are already listening to the call for solidarity. Social media distributes how to avoid American products. One of Toronto’s local grocery stores has begun to label Canadian yogurt for shoppers, according to an image posted by Toronto Doctor Iris Golfinkel.
Others have stated that they are canceling their travel plan for the United States or completely visiting them.
“We canceled family march breaks to the United States yesterday, in response to Trump’s tariff,” said Canadian author Seth Klein on Sunday. “I made a slight hit with a canceled train ticket, but I need to do it.”
In a part of Canada, in Ontario, in the largest state of the population, American sake is drawn out of shelves indefinitely on Tuesday.
This is added to $ 155 billion ($ 105 billion, £ 8.6 billion), a total of $ 155 billion ($ 105 billion, £ 8.6 billion), a total of US products, which described that Canada will perform tariffs in retaliation, including vegetables, clothing, sports supplies, perfumes, and other items. Products that give birth to Republicans, such as Florida Range Juice, are particularly targeted.
The United States has imported oil from Canada more than any other country, and the Toldeau government has signaled that “all options remain on the table” for further retaliation.
“Unstable” moment in Canada
Trump’s sudden tariff threat to the threat of tariffs -long -specific economic and social with the United States for decades for decades for decades. , We have confused Canadians who have enjoyed security.
“It’s a shock,” Michael Ignatiev, a former Canadian liberal leader in the Canadian Liberal Party, told the BBC.
“We are hooked on a new world, where the problem of whether or not the United States can be trusted is the basic problem of all countries in the country.”
Pierre Pollyve, the leader of the Canadian opposition party, called Sunday tariffs “huge, unfair and unfair.”
“Canada is the closest neighbor in the United States, great allies, and best friends,” he said, saying that Canada fought with the United States in two World War and South Korea and Afghanistan. “There is no legitimacy of this treatment.”
In a Saturday speech, Prime Minister Tordeau questioned why the United States targeted Canada, rather than seeking the world’s “more challenging part.”
Some of his speeches were directly addressed to Americans, pointing out the history of the shared blood. “We fought with you and died,” said Tordeau.
Professor Thomas Juneau, a professor focusing on the National Security of Ottawa, told the BBC that Trump’s tariff is definitely a US -related earthquake.
“This is very unstable for Canada,” said Juno. “As a country, we have received great benefits from very close trade and security partnerships for decades.”
The battle of trade would make Canada forced to find a partner elsewhere, but he could not escape the geography in the end. It depends on the next economic superpower.
“That’s why Canada must now focus on saving the relationship as much as possible,” said Juno.
There is an unclear and costly battle first
The major unknown remains that the United States can maintain customs duties, and that Canada can take the Trump administration.
TD Economics predicts that the longer the tariff is, the worse the impact. Canada may enter the economy in 5-6 months, and its unemployment rate can reach more than 7 %.
Theo Aratis, the management of Otawa’s based public relations company, Compass Rose Group, said that unknown people had no choice but to hit Canada violently.
“At the end of the day, I don’t really know why he’s doing this,” said ARGITIS.
Trump is one of the reasons why Fentanyl, a very powerful and fatal drug from Canada and Mexico to the United States, is one of the important reasons. US officials say that the collection will remain “until the crisis is alleviated”.
In response, the Canadian government has pointed out that less than 1 % of Fentanyl to the United States and illegal border intersections come from Canada. We offered to spend additional $ 1.3 billion to secure US borders
However, Trump also speaks more publicly about dissatisfaction with the trade deficit between Canada and the United States, and further speaks his opinion that tariffs can be a source of revenue of Washington’s financial resources. 。
On Sunday, he wrote about the true society that the United States would not need Canada products, and the United States would pay hundreds of millions to assist Canada.
“Without this large subsidy, Canada will no longer exist as an executable country,” Trump wrote.
He warns that if the White House chooses retaliation, it will enact more severe penalties in Canada. For now, Canada has chose to give a more powerful neighbors a painful pain, even if the economy is tilted to it.
“We prefer to solve the conflict with diplomacy,” said Tordeau on Saturday. “But we are ready to fight as needed.”
