How Trump’s obsession with Canada has changed its politics
It needs to end. That's why I've been crystal clear. Until these tariffs are off the table, until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario will not relent.

Donald Trump denkt, er kann uns brechen. Er denkt, er kann dividieren und konkurrieren. Pitt Region gegen Region. Donald Trump weiß nicht, was wir wissen. Er überstimmt uns. Er überstimmt die Resilienz der kanadischen Leute, der kanadischen Geist. Kein Fehler. Kanada wird keinen Kampf mit den USA starten. Aber ihr müsst glauben, wir sind bereit, einen zu gewinnen.

Canada CAVES To Trump Tariff Threats In Trade War | PBD Podcast | Ep. 561
Well, just a little while ago, I had an opportunity to speak to Secretary Lutnick. And Secretary Lutnick has sent out an olive branch to us. to come down and immediately meet with him, meet with the whole Trade Administration, and discuss the future. Rather than waiting until April 2nd, threats going back and forth, tit for tat, I've agreed to suspend

Has Apple Lost Its Mojo? + BlackRock’s $23B Bet on the Panama Canal
US-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in revenues. They only have President Trump to blame. I'm also urging all 444 municipalities to do the same. And I'm thrilled to see some are already stepping up, For example, Mayor Patrick Brown in the city of Brampton and many other cities. As part of this government-wide procurement ban, we're going one step further.

Ep. 2156 - Trump SLASHES AND BURNS Through Department of Education!
I start every interview with saying we love Americans. I love Americans, spent 20 years of my life there. And I know Canadians love Americans and vice versa. In saying that, we will not back down. We will be relentless. I apologize to the American people that President Trump decided to have an unprovoked attack on our country, on families, on jobs, and it's unacceptable. Let's work together.

Let me be clear. I will not hesitate to increase this charge. If necessary, if the United States escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely. Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people because it's not the American people who started this trade war. It's one person who's responsible. That's President Trump.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
You have to make the omelet larger. And that's the auto sector. But there's so many other sectors that the supply chain is so integrated, you just can't flip on a switch and turn it off.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
And that's what people have been saying, David. You know, President Trump made the last deal. I was part of that deal. It was Secretary – Lighthizer. And President Trump said it was the greatest deal ever. I guess it's not the greatest deal ever anymore. So I'm not too sure what he wants to do or where he wants to go. But we're just stronger together with all the threats around the world.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
We need to stick together. When China's cutting the U.S. off of critical minerals for their military use, we have all the critical minerals. Ontario has more critical minerals than anywhere in the world. We want to ship them down to our closest friend and ally to support them. For instance, nickel, 50% of the high-grade nickel the U.S. uses comes from Sudbury. And I emphasize high-grade nickel.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
There's a difference. They use it in their military, use it in their aerospace, in their manufacturing, not to mention the aluminum and the steel and other critical minerals that I could list. And who better to give it to than our closest friends?
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, it's always cordial. He's a very, very bright individual. He understands the markets. And that's why I just is mind boggling to so many people, elected officials, private sector folks. He's a smart guy and the market speaking. And when you see the market tumbling, it's not about Wall Street losing money. It's about Main Street losing money.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
The mom and pops that are out there that have money in pension funds. And we have a lot of pension funds. And in Toronto, probably one of the largest group of pension funds, they invest everywhere in the world and they invest heavily into the US. So when their pension fund drops $2 billion or $3 billion over a three-day period, that's concerning.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
It's concerning to people that want to invest around the world. They put that on hold. We're going to see inflation when you're targeting tariffs, which I, by the way, I support all the tariffs against China. but there's a way of handling it.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, I never get personal with the president, never get personal with the secretary, but I'm not too sure if they realize the impact on the entire world when one man speaks, it can shift everything. So they have to be cognitive of every word that comes out of their mouth. It's just so important for the U.S., for the citizens to make sure that we continue thriving and prospering.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
And that's what would happen if we made the same canned fortress.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, what I did say, and I'll say it publicly, what I did say to Secretary Lutnick, the difference between Americans right now, and I have a tremendous amount of friends and contacts in the U.S., They're just kind of going on their way. They've woken up a little bit over the last few weeks, but Canadians, 40 million Canadians are at a fever pitch right now. They're willing to sacrifice.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
They're patriotic, like patriotism I've never seen before. We always say how Canadians are so polite. Well, they're at a fever, fever pitch right now and willing to do anything and sacrifice anything to protect their sovereignty. And they're passionate, very, very passionate. I've never seen the patriotism like I've seen over the last few months.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
I think they're playing a huge impact on Canadian politics. They played a huge impact on my election. I was running for a third mandate and I talked about the tariffs. That was the most important issue on all our polling. Tariffs were number one because that affects their lives.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
You know, I always say the foundation of our healthcare system, education, our infrastructure, our business, the foundation is our economy. That's what keeps everything going. And when there's an attack on your economy, that affects every other sector here in Canada, but it also affects every sector in the U.S. as well.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, I always look at the glass being half full. I think there's an opportunity to drop these tariffs, build on our strengths. We can be the two strongest, wealthiest, most prosperous countries in the world. If we get the pipeline, the XL pipeline, start heading south, we need to build pipelines east, west, and north as well.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
We need to make sure that we get the critical minerals out of the ground and sell them to our friends south of the border. And if they're at capacity, then we ship them around the world to our allies, not our foes. We want to send them to our friends and make Canada stronger. and make the U.S. stronger and more secure. That's what we need to do. We're consumer gluttons in Canada.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, David, I totally disagree with that. Anything to do with protectionism. Do I believe in onshoring? I'll give you a couple examples. Aluminum cans. 65% of the aluminum the U.S. needs comes from Quebec. So we ship down the aluminum, the two big breweries and the two big beverage companies. We ship down the aluminum. They print it, convert it, and ship it back up.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
They get hit 25% on the way down, 25% on the way back. It drives up the cost to the consumer. And I have to ask, there's a billion-dollar industry. Why are we not making cans here in Ontario? That's one area. I found out the other day we have three big steel plants, Stelco, DeFasco, and Algoma, and we don't make steel beams here.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
And we have more cranes in the sky in Toronto than New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, L.A. They even threw in Honolulu combined. So we need to build steel beams. The last one, I'll give you an example. We ship wheat down to the U.S. and they make cereal. I find out that we don't even have a cereal manufacturer here. We used to. We used to have Kellogg.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
But these are simple areas that I believe in onshoring to make sure that we have a supply of cans at a lower cost.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
That's right. Yeah. And then some of the packaging and spaghetti comes up to Canada, which I have no problem with. It was like the pandemic when President Trump cut us off from the N95 masks. Well, we stood up an industry in two months and we'll never rely on anyone in that area again. We're making our own N95 masks, our gowns, everything else here.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
We manufacture anything in Canada, absolutely anything. You have your hand on the on-off electricity switch flowing south to the United States? Yeah, I want to ship them more electricity. You know, we are sharing the technology of the small modular reactors. We're leaders in the G7 on the SMRs. And I just had... Governor Cox here from Utah, a Republican governor. What a gentleman.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
The first thing we did, we brought him up to Darlington where we're making the small modular reactors. We're working with U.S. companies, General Electric, Tennessee Valley Authority. Hitachi's in there as well. But we're saying, here, we're going to share this technology. They need energy, the U.S. We have the energy. We have the technology. And we're sharing it with them.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
We have orders for over $100 billion from Europe for the small modular reactors. And anyone who doesn't understand SMR, it can be any size, but let's just use it's approximately the size of a Walmart. It can power a town of 400,000 people. And it's convenient. It's clean, green, reliable, affordable energy. That's the way of the future. Thank you so much for making time for us today.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Thanks, David. And I just want to tell the Americans, we love you. I love the Americans. May God bless the US and may God bless Canada. And let's get through this and get this deal done. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, that's great. I can't stand taxes, so we try to never raise the tax ever.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, what it is, David, we've always thought ourselves part of the family. And it's been that way for generations. I think people were shocked. They were disappointed, if I could say the word hurt, because the Canadians love Americans. They absolutely love them. They spend a lot of time in the U.S. and Americans love Canadians.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
I've talked to so many hardcore Trump supporters are saying, yeah, I would do anything for Trump, but I don't like the way he's treating our one. One guy said his little brother. And that's the way we look upon it, too. I spent 20 years of my life in the U.S. and I love the U.S. I love the American people. I traveled pretty well to almost every state numerous times.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
And I just believe we're stronger together. I believe in the Amcan Fortress, the American Canadian Fortress. put a ring around it, no one can touch us. We have all the natural resources, the energy, everything that the U.S. needs, and we need the U.S. We're the number one customer, as I call it, and we're their number one customer. So vice versa, and we just need to work together.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
The threat is not Canada, it's China. You have to keep an eye on China. I've been saying it for years now, and it's coming to fruition.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
Well, that's because they aren't real. It's very, very simple. And, you know, it's the uncertainty that President Trump has put not just on Canada, the entire world. You know, I always say you have to take a page out of Ronald Reagan's book back in 1988 on the free trade deal. And, you know, protectionism does not work. It doesn't work anywhere in the world.
The David Frum Show
Trump's Bad Poker Hand
It won't work between Canada and the U.S. The supply chain is so integrated. Everyone's heard about the auto parts going back and forth six, seven, eight times before they get assembled in a plant in Ontario or a plant in the U.S., be it Michigan or any other auto plant. I always say, you know, the auto pack's been around since 1965, and you can't unscramble an egg.

Well, I know under my watch for Ontario, I'd never be for that at all. We have the greatest country in the world. We have the greatest province anywhere. Any sub-sovereign nation is Ontario and the rest of the provinces as well. You know something? To the president, I'll make him a counteroffer. How about if we buy Alaska and we'll throw in Minnesota and Minneapolis at the same time?

If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything, including cut off their energy with a smile on my face. So and I'm encouraging every other province to do the same.

but nothing is more important than standing united. Nothing's more important than keeping every tool in our toolbox, no matter if it's energy or other commodities, high-grade nickel from Ontario, great aluminum from Quebec, potash from Saskatchewan. And these are the tools that we have. You don't negotiate... Through weakness, you negotiate through strength.

I have a different theory that protect your jurisdiction, but country comes first. Canada is a priority.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canada Leaders Issues FINAL URGENT WARNING to Trump
And I don't believe in jeopardizing one sector or another. Premier Smith's Oil is Ontario's auto sector, right? So again, we all have different views and we can respect each other's views. But at the end of the day, when the tariffs come, It's going to affect Albertans. It's going to affect people from BC and Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, all the way down the road.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canada Leaders Issues FINAL URGENT WARNING to Trump
No one's exempt from that. And all I believe in, you know, if it comes to that, let's have the tools in our toolbox to react, to send a strong message. But it's not gonna be all of a sudden one province or one territory is exempt on this. When Donald Trump comes at us, He's not going to say, well, let's not worry about Ontario. They're good people or Alberta. He's coming full tilt at Canadians.
