What this arc covers
Donald Trump's pressure on Canada from his November 2024 tariff threat: the tariffs and pauses of 2025, Canada's retaliation, the collapse of talks over an anti-tariff ad, the threats over Canada's trade with China, the 2026 renegotiation of the North American trade pact and the 50% tariffs, the wildfire-smoke tariff threats, and the effects on both sides of the border; his calls for Canada to become the 51st state and the responses, including King Charles's; and his August 2026 order renaming Lake Ontario 'Lake America' and the reaction to it.
