Canada vs. USA: The Trade War America Always Loses (History Proves It)

youtube.comCanada vs. USA: The Trade War America Always Loses (History Proves It)Trade talks between Canada and the United States just collapsed again. But here's what nobody in Washington seems to remember: America has tried this exact playbook before, and it has never once worked. From Smoot-Hawley in 1930, to Nixon's 1971 import surcharge, to five separate softwood lumber disputes since the 1980s, the pattern is always the same: the US imposes tariffs, Canada retaliates, and the US backs down after its own economy takes the bigger hit. In this video, I break down the real history of US-Canada trade wars, what actually happened the last five times America tried to bully Canada with tariffs, and why this round is likely to end the same way. What you'll learn: Why the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act backfired so badly on the US How Canada beat Nixon's 1971 tariffs in under four months The decades-long softwood lumber dispute and what international trade bodies ruled Why Canada holds more leverage over US energy than most people realize What's actually different (and not different) about the current Canada-US trade war If you're trying to understand the Canada tariffs situation, the US-Canada trade war news, or just want the historical context nobody's giving you, this one's for you. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Follow along for more no-nonsense Canadian commentary on politics, trade, and identity. #CanadaUSTradeWar #Tariffs #CanadaNews #USCanadaRelations #TradeWar #CanadianPolitics #SoftwoodLumber #TrumpTariffs #CanadaEconomy #TradeWarHistory -- πŸ† Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! https://www.youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/join πŸ“° NEWSLETTER https://newsletter.todmaffin.com βœ… MY LINKTREE: https://links.todmaffin.com β˜• Like my stuff? β€” Buy me a coffee https://support.todmaffin.com πŸ¦‹ Follow me on Bluesky β€” https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com πŸ”— Contact my team β€” https://contact.todmaffin.com

Two things Trump attempted at the last minute: 1) He tried to take away our ability to trade with other countries. 2) He refused to recognize our multi-language policies on retail goods being sold on Canadian shelves. ... so Carney pulled it. Elbows up my fellow Canadians! Stronger together!

... aaaand it starts. Vigilante Canadians taking corporate price gouging matters into their own hands.
