The era of deep economic, security and military ties between Canada and the United States "is over," Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, after President Donald Trump announced steep auto tariffs. "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over," Carney said.
Over 80% of exports go to the US, and without those exports Canada’s debt load will implode the country. Its not actually an option to just accept the tariffs.
