5 Min Ago: Canada Just Broke Free From America — And Trump Didn't See It Coming

Описание: While Donald Trump was threatening tariffs and floating the idea of making Canada the 51st state, something was happening on the West Coast that nobody in Washington saw coming. Canadian oil tankers quietly loaded up and headed straight to China throughout 2025. By October, Canada had recovered $11 billion of the $18.5 billion lost to Trump's tariffs by pivoting to 27 different trading partners. China just became Canada's second-largest customer, and the infrastructure that made this possible was built while Trump was still tweeting threats.​
This isn't about trade negotiations anymore. This is about the largest economic reorientation in Canadian history happening in real time, and the consequences are reshaping North American power dynamics in ways that can't be reversed.​
