“A major breach of trust” is the view of many thought leaders, including Michael McLarney, the president of Hardlines, regarding President Trump’s proposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports. McLarney shared his thoughts in a recent article in Newsweek, noting that this threat is something that Canadians won‘t heal from quickly. Trump’s comments on making the country the 51st state “sting the Canadian psyche as much as tariffs would impact our pocketbooks,” he added.
“All these actions constitute a huge wake-up call to Canadians to reassess their trade affiliations and not be so reliant on one partner,” he told the publication.
