  • It's a complicated time to be a certain kind of conservative in Canada. For years, many Canadian right wingers have considered themselves supporters of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. Ontario premier Doug Ford even referred to himself as an "unwavering" supporter of Trump.

The article from MSN discusses how former U.S. President Donald Trump's policies and rhetoric have inadvertently spurred a resurgence of nationalism in Canada. It highlights that Trump's America First approach, his trade policies, particularly the renegotiation of NAFTA into the USMCA, and his general stance on international relations have pushed Canada towards a more nationalistic stance. This shift is characterized by increased public and political support for protecting Canadian interests, promoting Canadian identity, and a more assertive foreign policy. The piece notes that while Canada has traditionally prided itself on its multiculturalism and internationalism, the Trump era has led to a reevaluation of these values, with Canadians feeling the need to assert their national identity more forcefully in response to perceived threats or slights from the U.S. This has manifested in various ways, including a stronger push for Canadian content in media, support for domestic industries, and a more vocal defense of Canadian sovereignty.
