Republicans in Congress suddenly care what Canadians think [View all]

Canadians have had enough of Donald Trump’s America, and they’re showing it by selling their U.S. property, vacationing elsewhere, and severely punishing their own country’s homegrown conservatives. For some bizarre reason, Trump decided to pick a fight with our closest ally—and the consequences are real.

I’ve written often about Trump’s amazing ability to hurt his own supporters with scalpel-like precision, and this kerfuffle with the Canucks is no different. Look at the county-level map of the 2024 presidential election results:



Just note how most of the counties along the northern border are red. Very red, in fact. But thanks to Trump’s buffoonery, places like Port Huron, Michigan, are now struggling with a loss of patronage from their Canadian neighbors across the border.

“Like many of the towns that dot along the 5,525 mile (8,891km) border, the economies of Port Huron and Sarnia are linked and in some ways dependent on one another,” reports the BBC. “Port Huron is a manufacturing town of less than 30,000 people with a quaint downtown and lots of retail, offering visitors an enticing opportunity for a day-trip.”
