Who is more to blame for the U.S.–Canada trade war?
U.S.–Canada trade talks have collapsed, and Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods starting Sept. 8, calling President Trump's 50% tariffs 'a miscalculation.'

Tariffs have been a one way street for decades with Canada and now the US is the bad guy for hitting them back? They sell their Bombardier biz jets here but won’t certify US Gulfstream planes to be sold in Canada? They have tariffs in the range of 100 to 400% on US agricultural products and metals and get in a tiff when we counter? And this time around they leave the negotiating table because the US will no longer let them screw us by helping China get around US metal tariffs by becoming a transshipment point and relabeling the Chinese metal as Canadian and selling it to us? I grew up in Detroit and spent many a weekend night over in Windsor, Ontario…..I found that Canadians have the worst “ugly sister” complex the world has ever seen…..they can’t stand the US because it’s better, they need it, but they’ll never admit it. Just look at how they react to Trump messing with them with the Lake America & Alberta 51st state:yelling and stomping like a 5 year old whose mommy said “no”.
US, of course
retaliatory tariffs go both ways, so if you picked "both equally" where's your line for calling one side the instigator versus just responding to the other guy's moves?
