@wordupdate2: 🇨🇦 Kinew: Canada should outlast Trump — not surrender to him Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is urging Canadians to stay united and remain patient as the trade confrontation with U.S. President Donald Trump enters a new and more serious phase. Speaking Saturday, Kinew backed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to walk away from what Ottawa considers a bad trade deal, arguing that Canada should not allow Trump’s tariff threats to dictate the country’s future. Carney has said the U.S. imposed new 50% tariffs on roughly $28 billion worth of Canadian goods, and Canada will respond with tariffs dollar for dollar. Kinew’s message was blunt: Canada may have to play the long game. “Donald Trump has certainly changed the world, but he hasn’t changed us.” He also reminded Canadians that Trump’s presidency is not permanent, saying the U.S. president has two more years left in office. Kinew argued that Canada should be prepared to withstand the pressure rather than rush into an agreement simply to end the confrontation. “We should be prepared to duke it out for two years. And then hopefully sanity will return to America.” His comments come as Canada and the United States face their sharpest trade confrontation in years. Ottawa says Washington’s latest demands went too far and undermined the possibility of a fair, reliable agreement. Carney has now pledged a broader strategy: protect Canadian workers and businesses, retaliate against the new U.S. tariffs, strengthen Canada’s domestic economy and accelerate efforts to diversify trade beyond the American market. For Kinew, the message is simple: Canada should not panic, should not fold under pressure, and should be willing to wait. The question now is whether Ottawa can withstand two years of economic and political pressure while keeping Canadians united behind a tougher approach to Washington. 🇨🇦 Canada’s position: stand firm, protect Canadian interests and wait out the storm. #fyp #DonaldTrump #CanadaUSTrade
