For a couple of years I have blogged here as a Christian. But tonight, I write as a Canadian. The massive 25% tariff charges imposed on Canadians will have devastating effects on our struggling economy, as well as for Americans. President Trump cited that Fentanyl border crossing was the cause for these damaging tariffs when in reality less than 1% of the drug crosses the American border. PM Trudeau has repeatedly been trying to reach President Trump to build a partnership and to work this out but he has failed to even take a call from him. Consequently, in order to offset the gross deficit imposed on Canada without any viable explanation and negotiations, PM Trudeau had little choice but to counter with 25% tariff charges on 155 billion dollars of U.S. goods as a result of President Trump having initiated this terrible trade war. It’s tragic for everyone on both sides of the fence.

I resided in the U.S. and was in support for the greater good of Americans and Veterans for years – the ravages of war is devastating. During that time, I was thankful for having made treasured connections with good friends in special places. And tonight Trudeau’s speech furthermore brought to remembrance the many ways that Canada has helped America during times of crisis. I was there during 911 when our country came to the aid of distraught Americans and wept alongside of them. Yes, it is more than perplexing that it has come to this. And yet, it is during moments like these that we have to quickly remind ourselves that this world is not our home and to set our sights on the one true King and the Kingdom HE has prepared for His people. I encourage Canadians to pray for our nation and also for the American people who will be affected by this trade war. They did not ask for this either. In the meantime, President Trump ought to be reminded that this is not the Christian way to treat American allies and that this nation is not for sale.

“We didn’t want to be here. We didn’t ask for this.”

“I think Canadians are perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbour are choosing to TARGET us instead of so many other more challenging parts of the world. (PM Trudeau). (Feb.1/25)

Keep the Faith, it will be needed for coming days.
