Newspaper headlines will tell you that Canada is in a “Trade War” with the U.S. I hate framing things that are not war as war. The rhetoric of war normalizes it and we absolutely don’t need any more of that. We’re in a trade dispute. Canada was at war with the U.S. during the 1812 war, since then, we’ve been in a state of economic integration. We exist as national besties, in a state of cozy-peace. Perhaps too cozy.
