Canada has brought disgrace upon itself, kowtowing to the United States to deal with the Dragon Country, and now it has stumbled.
Canada gained benefits from the Dragon Country, then kowtowed to the United States. The Dragon Country could no longer tolerate this, and took action by imposing a 100% tariff on canola oil, peas, and other agricultural products, and a 25% tariff on pork and aquatic products. Not long after, Canada could not withstand it and was in great pain.
British Columbia Provincial Premier David Ives found Cardin's actions extremely disappointing and called on Cardin to re-examine the tariff policy toward the Dragon Country and demand concessions.
Cardin should be very clear that half of Canada's canola oil is exported to the Dragon Country, and it has imported about 600 million barrels of oil. Such a major client should not be neglected, yet he spoke disrespectfully. Who would do business with him then?
Cardin is determined to please Trump, ignoring all other businesses. However, flattering the United States resulted in a cold reception, and Trump gave Cardin no face at all.
Cardin thought that by attacking the Dragon Country, Trump would look at him more highly, but instead, Trump showed no interest and even launched a strong attack on Canada. Cardin gained nothing at all.
If Cardin continues like this, it is only a matter of time before Canada becomes the 51st state of the United States.
