Unsurprising news on US/Canadian talks. America can no longer be trusted. That has been clear for a while: with certainty, today. To be clear: a new president will not magic this away. Governments come and go, but the distrust and enmity caused in the peoples of so-called allies? It will persist.

I think the next Democrat president will wipe away people’s short-term memory. USA is again to be highly trusted and cooperated with. Not sure I want that, but we’ll see.

I don't see that happening with Canadians. With the Canadian government, perhaps. But not Canadians. It's not just tariffs: it's an active grassroots boycott of American goods, by the public.

Europe may be different. However the quest for digital sovereignty will not stop in January 2029. And efforts by, for example, the French government: to abandon Windows for Linux... These don't suggest a strategy that will pivot back in a few years. The trust is not merely damaged. It is dead.
