Today, February 1, 2025, everything we knew is different. Everything we learned has changed forever. Donald Trump has signed an order of 25% economic tariffs on all Canadian imports.
On Canada, its longest and closest ally and trading partner. He blames us for many of the public health problems in the United States and for illegal border crossings. None of this makes sense, and the US Customs statistics state otherwise.
Our response at home is predictably Canadian—we are stoic, strong, and prepared to fight for our country. The road ahead will be challenging, with job losses, inflation, and the unknown. We have been here before, as recently as COVID-19. Donald Trump’s attack on our sovereignty by economic force will fail. Our economic patriotism will provide opportunities to build a stronger Canadian economy.
Together. United. Stay Strong
What can you do? Remember – we are angry at Donald Trump and his acolytes. He has shattered the government-to-government relationship between the United States and Canada. We must be kind to our American friends, visitors, and neighbours. That is also what it means to be Canadian. We need to embrace and celebrate being Canadian and stay united and strong. And buy Canadian.
Theodore Roosevelt, one of the best leaders of the 20th Century, (yes another US President) gave a speech in 1910 that is as relevant today as it was then. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
We will fight for our jobs, homes, and way of life. We are proud Canadians, and we will get through this together.
Robin, The Mayor
