The danger confronting Canadians is not President Trump’s on-and-off tariff toggle. That’s only a symptom. The more significant threat is our deep integration with, and hence dependence on, the US. This has compromised our formal sovereignty and will continue to block our substantive sovereignty – the democratic capacity to choose our own directions without external (i.e., US) pressures.

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.

He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.

With Trump’s tariff threats, Canada is staring down a moment of extreme economic uncertainty—one that will hit workers and vulnerable communities hardest.
