Canada is scrambling to change its tune when it comes to trade, and the reason is none other than President Trump. The northern neighbor is thinking about limiting their lumber exports to the United States in an attempt to appease the White House. Well, it’s about time. For far too long, Canada has been taking advantage of America’s generosity, and now they finally seem ready to play fair.
The talk of export limits is a clear sign that Trump’s trade tactics are striking fear into the hearts of globalists hiding out in liberal strongholds. It’s proof positive that a strong America-first approach can force even the most stubborn to shift their policies. Canada may have gotten cozy with a certain level of entitlement, but those days are numbered.
Does anyone remember when the left screamed about how Trump’s approach would backfire? Where are they now as Canada is sheepishly falling in line? This administration’s policies are drawing out hypocrisy like ink spills on a blank page. The narrative that America must bow down to others seems to be unraveling before our eyes.

What’s amusing is watching liberals attempt to spin this development. They’ll likely claim it’s some diplomatic maneuver or act of goodwill from Canada. But savvy observers know it’s the power of tough negotiations. It’s Trump’s strategy of standing firm against concessions that work, shattering expectations of weak-kneed diplomacy.
As we watch these developments unfold, ask yourself: why shouldn’t America take a tough stance? If Canada is willing to limit its own trade to improve relations, doesn’t that suggest they see the tangible benefits of aligning more closely with American priorities? The truth is, if there’s any doubt left about the effectiveness of prioritizing national interests, it’s time to leave it in the past, along with any illusions of globalist utopia.
