Gillian Steward: No more being polite. Canadians must stand up to Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Does he not understand how international trade works?
53% : His son, Eric, then posted on X a doctored photograph of Trump smugly looking at maps of Canada, Greenland, and Panama (he also wants them as part of his empire) on the Amazon website.
44% : Trump refers to the fact that Canada sells more to the U.S. than we buy from them as a "subsidy."
38% : Of course this taunting is all about the 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods that Trump has threatened to impose the moment he takes office on Jan. 20 if Canada doesn't do more to stop the minuscule amounts of illegal immigrants and fentanyl from the crossing the U.S border.
37% : He not only has the majority of Canadians, his caucus and the opposition hounding him to leave office, he has Trump on the sidelines gleefully launching sour lemons.
34% : Trump isn't backing down from his tariff threat, so it's time to start standing up for ourselves.
31% : How about we hurl a few insults back at Trump?
29% : ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOWOntario Premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut off the electricity the province sends to the U.S. if Trump goes ahead with the tariffs.
24% : When Trudeau's most faithful minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet a couple of weeks ago Trump jumped right in with a blistering post on Truth Social.
22% : On the other hand, NDP MP Charlie Angus told Trump to "piss off" after he heard about the insults that he levelled at us on Christmas Day.
12% : He isn't even president yet but Donald Trump has been mocking Canadians with ridiculous taunts; the demented ramblings of an old man.
