Trudeau Urges Canadians to Buy Local as Trade War with US Heats Up 

Is buying Canadian a realistic long-term solution to this trade war? While patriotic, are we prepared for potential price hikes and limited selection if we prioritize domestic goods exclusively? What industries will benefit most from this shift, and which ones might struggle to meet the increased demand? Could this be the catalyst for a stronger, more self-reliant Canadian economy, or will it ultimately hurt consumers more than it helps? Ontario banning American companies from provincial contracts is a bold move. How significantly will this impact ongoing projects and future infrastructure development? Could this escalate tensions further, or is it a necessary step to protect Canadian businesses? Scrapping the Starlink contract seems like a direct shot at American tech dominance. What are the viable alternatives for providing internet access in Ontario, and are they ready to step in? Is this a sign of things to come, with more reliance on domestic or international tech solutions outside of the US? This trade war has far-reaching implications beyond just economics. How will it reshape the relationship between Canada and the US? Will it strengthen alliances with other nations, or create new points of friction? The loonie hitting its lowest level since 2003 is alarming. What does this mean for the average Canadian's purchasing power, travel plans, and investments? Is this a temporary dip or a sign of deeper economic trouble ahead?
