The article reflects on the author's deep-seated American pride, juxtaposed with feelings of solidarity towards Canada amidst Trump's controversial rhetoric. The author recalls fond memories and positive experiences with Canada, pointing out the absence of direct conflicts between the two nations. However, they express frustration over Trump's aggressive posture, including trade wars and derogatory comments towards Canada, which lead them to unexpectedly root for a neighboring country's success in political maneuvering against the U.S. This tension raises questions about loyalty and national identity in current politics.

Trump picked a fight immediately - right after the election - saying that he'd impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Canada to cause Canada to secure the border.
Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state, and he's started referring to the prime minister as 'governor.' Maybe Trump thinks that's funny.
Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada sure makes it feel like he's serious. Is he really trying to coerce, or economically cripple, one of our greatest allies?
