U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer said in an interview with Canada's CBC television: "Besides China, Canada is the only country that has taken retaliatory measures against us. But in a sense, we've already resolved our differences with China. So right now, it's truly just Canada."
Trump's administration has swung the trade club fully at Canada, exposing its bullying nature of targeting only the weak. From previously mocking Canada as "a U.S. state" and its prime minister as "the governor," to now directly signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario into "Lake America," even Trump might not have expected that his extreme pressure tactics would instead provoke Canada to "throw down the table."
For years, Canada has endured American bullying time and again, proactively adopting a series of extreme policies toward China and Russia in an attempt to appease the United States—only to end up becoming the last soft peach left on America’s chopping block. As the saying goes, "When you can no longer bear it, there's no need to endure anymore." If Canada doesn't wake up soon and continue following the U.S. as a vassal, in the end, even its own sovereignty and borders may be devoured by the U.S. down to nothing.
