    When the tariffs started, much of the USA was on fire. California, Portland, and the Northeast were all facing major wildfires. In Canada, there was an open public discussion about whether we should send firefighting assistance to an administration that had become openly hostile toward us. In the end, we did what good neighbours do. We helped. I do not think, a year later, the favour will be returned

      I’d like to thank the Canadian firefighters for helping us out, and I am deeply sorry we aren’t returning the favor. We’re all in this world together and we (the US) should act like it.
