Canada, traditionally known for its polite and unassuming nature, has seen a surge in national anger in response to threats from U.S. President Trump. Tariff threats and talk of annexation have caused outrage among Canadians, leading to a heightened sense of unity across the nation, even in Quebec which has traditionally been protective of its French identity. The call to action against Trump has brought together people from varying political persuasions.

Even Americans, typically inattentive to issues north of their border, are taking notice of the Canadian discontent, which has become a conversation point among U.S. television personalities. Cases of anti-American sentiment among Canadians are on the rise, with many choosing Canadian products over their American counterparts and taking their tourist dollars elsewhere. This shift towards increased national pride and solidarity is visibly impacting relations and economic decisions between the two countries.
