I don’t think this goes away magically when Trump exits the White House, and so for Canada, it’s wishful thinking to think we can hold our breaths and white-knuckle it for the next 24 or 26 months,” says political science associate professor Aaron Ettinger of Carleton University.“Canada needs to be prepared for a tariff regime coming from…

Alberta’s Opposition leader says now is not the time to hold a referendum on leaving Canada as the country wages a consequential trade war with its southern neighbors. NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says Premier Danielle Smith needs to cancel it or, at the very least, postpone it.“It’s time to call off the referendum,” Nenshi told reporters Tuesday in Calgary.“The premier’s pandering to separatists just shows weakness; it shows that Canada is not united.” Albertans are to vote Oct. 19 in a provincial referendum that asks whether the government should start the legal process to hold a future binding vote on…
