Truth and Justice

Any UnitedStaters or Canadienses are unfortunate collateral damage.

I think you are being erroneously generous regarding the highlighted part. Trump’s damage to Canada is neither unfortunate in his mind or collateral. It is intentional, fortunate, and directed.

Trump has repeatedly indicated that he wants the US to absorb Canada.

He has explicitly misrepresented that Canada is complicit in the fentanyl problem in the US when even American data shows that 1% or less of fentanyl enters the US from Canada.

He uses tariffs to weaken the Canadían economy.

I could go on listing intentional damage and intention to damage by Trump.

I fear that it might take decades for the multi-generational friendship between Canada and the US to be restored after Trumpism fades. Given the mood of the American public and the blatant gerrymandering initiatives by Trump, it could take a decade or more for “America First” to fade. By the time it does, the US may have lost its reputation as being a beacon for good in the world.

Superman was the fictional character born of Canadian writer Joe Shuster famously fought for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way". Sadly, Superman might now need to choose between “Truth and Justice” or “the American Way”.
