A few hours after US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a severe tariff on Canada, hockey fans in the capital, Ottawa, drafted the stars banner during a national match in the Hockey League against a visiting American team.
On Sunday, during a national football league match between Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers, this happened again, and continued throughout the song and almost drowned the performance of the 15 -year -old singer.
Voice discontent is usually respected as a clear sign of the deep discontent of the Canadians in Trump's move to strike its closest ally with punitive taxes, a step threatening to raise an unprecedented trade war in the continent of North America.
The 25 % tariff that Trump imposes on all Canadian imports in the United States – with a 10 % drop on energy – on Tuesday.
They come when President Trump doubles in a batch – he is no longer rejected as a joke – to Canada to join America and become the 51st state.
While many economists are advancing, the definitions will also increase the costs of Americans over daily necessities, from gas to groceries, Canada is the most exposed commercial partner. If they continue for several months, the country can move to a painful economic stagnation.
Anger builds – and with it, the desire to install a fighting echoed by the 40 million political leaders.
“Many people will be affected by this, and we will have some difficult times. I ask you to be there for each other,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a speech on Saturday evening. “It is time to choose Canada.”
Some Canadians have already surrendered calls for solidarity. On social media, evidence is circulated about how American -made products are avoided in the grocery store.
Others publish the abolition of travel plans to the United States, or boycotting the country together.
In some Canadian provinces – Ontario, the largest American wine from the population – from the shelves that start indefinitely on Tuesday.
This is in addition to a total of $ 155 billion Canadian dollars (105 billion dollars; 86 billion pounds) of American goods that Canada said will learn about revenge, including vegetables, clothes, sports equipment, perfumes and other elements. The goods arising from the states of the Republic, such as the orange juice in Florida, are specifically targeted.
The United States imports more than its oil from Canada more than any other country, and the Trudeau government has referred to “all options on the table remain” for more revenge.
The moment of “destabilization” of Canada
Trump's follow -up to his threat to sharp tariffs – which were long speculative to be negotiating tactics to obtain concessions on border security – linked to Canadians who enjoyed close economic, social and security relations with the United States for decades.
“It is a shock,” Michael Ignatv, the former leader of the liberal party in Canada, told the BBC.
“We are in a new world, where the question is about whether you can trust America to become the primary question in the foreign policy of each country.”
Pierre Politer, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party in Canada, described the definitions on Sunday “huge, unfair and unjustified.”
“Canada is the closest neighbors of the United States, the greatest ally and best friend,” Canada said, noting that Canada fought alongside the United States in two global wars, as well as in Korea and Afghanistan. “There is absolutely no justification for this treatment.”
In his speech on Saturday, Prime Minister Trudeau asked why the United States targeted in Canada instead of searching for “more challenging parts” in the world.
Part of his speech was directed directly to the Americans, as he also indicated a date of the bloodshed. “We have fought, and we died, next to you,” Trudeau said.
“Undoubtedly an earthquake in relations between Canada and the United States,” said Thomas Juno, a professor at the University of Ottawa, with a focus on national security, BBC.
“This shakes very stability for Canada,” said Professor Juno. “As a country, we have benefited greatly from our very close commercial and security partnership with the United States for decades.”
He said that although the commercial battle is likely to force Canada to search for partners elsewhere, it will not eventually escape geography. Dependence on the adjacent economic power will remain.
“This is why Canada should now focus on saving the relationship as possible,” said Professor Juno.
Unintended and costly fighting
The great unknown remains the period in which the United States will maintain definitions, and what steps that Canada can take to satisfy the Trump administration, which it said expects a procedure to trafficking in fentanel across borders and illegal immigration.
TD Economy Projects The more definitions remain in place, the worse the effect. Canada can enter the recession within five to six months, and the unemployment rate can reach more than 7 %.
The unknown, the unknown, left Canada any option, “but returning to Trump strongly.”
“At the end of the day, we don't even really know why he did this,” Mr. Argitis told the BBC.
Trump says the flow of fentanel, which is a very strong and deadly drug, to the United States of Canada and Mexico, is one of the main reasons. American officials say the fees will remain in effect “until the crisis is reduced.”
In response, the Canadian government noted that less than 1 % of the border crossings of fentanel and fentanel in the United States come from Canada. It offered to spend $ 1.3 billion in Canadian dollars to secure the borders of the United States and Canada
But Trump publicly talked about his frustration with the trade deficit between Canada and the United States, and on a broader scale that the customs tariff could be the source of Washington's treasures.
On Sunday, he wrote on the social truth that the United States does not need Canadian products, and said that the United States is paying “hundreds of billions of dollars to support Canada.”
Trump wrote, before repeating his point of view that Canada should become an American state: “Without this tremendous support, Canada stops its existence as a viable country.”
He has warned that the White House will enact more severe sanctions on Canada if it chooses revenge. Currently, Canada has chosen an attempt to catch some of the target pain on its most powerful neighbor, even if economic standards are distinguished against it.
“We prefer to solve our conflicts with diplomacy,” Trudeau told his country on Saturday. “But we are ready to fight when necessary.”
