Sorry, couldn't find a non-paywalled version -- the headline is itself notable and newsworthy imho.
Do you have some reason to doubt that Canada feels threatened by the Trump regime?
mind-blowing hostility
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nor...-f35-9.7059800U.S. President Donald Trump's ambassador to Canada is warning of consequences to the continental defence pact if Canada does not move forward with the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.
"NORAD would have to be altered," U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told CBC News in an exclusive interview at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.
He says the United States would likely need to purchase more of the advanced fighter aircraft for its own air force, and would fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S.
"If Canada is no longer going to provide that [capability], then we have to fill those gaps," said Hoekstra.
https://bh.whatjobs.com/news/florida...nd-52-billion/Florida Tourism Collapse: How Trade War with Canada Erased 280,000 Jobs and $52 Billion
...
In the 12 months following the escalation of the trade war between the United States and Canada, Florida experienced one of the sharpest demand withdrawals ever recorded in a developed tourism economy. Open source tourism data, airline capacity reports, and state-level labor estimates all point to the same conclusion: the Canadian exit was sudden, synchronized, and devastating.
In several snowbird-dependent counties, peak winter occupancy fell by over 40% compared to historical averages. Some coastal municipalities reported vacancy rates not seen since the financial crisis, despite aggressive price cuts and tax incentives. The employment shock followed immediately. By conservative estimates, 280,000 tourism-related jobs disappeared across Florida, including hotel staff, restaurant workers, healthcare support services, maintenance crews, real estate agents, and seasonal contractors. Internal labor models suggest the true figure may exceed 310,000 once indirect losses are included.
...
Internal planning models used by regional development agencies indicate that even under the most optimistic assumptions, no more than 30% of former Canadian winter spending is projected to return over the next decade. That implies a structural loss of roughly $35 to $40 billion in annual economic activity. This is not a recessionary dip—it is a reset. The scale is comparable to the long-term decline of a major industrial sector, except this collapse did not originate from global compe ion or automation. It originated from political miscalculation.
Buried deep inside regional planning forecasts is a number that explains why this rupture may already be permanent. Population and capital flow models used by multiple Florida metropolitan planning organizations now assume a long-term annual population shortfall exceeding 160,000 seasonal residents, driven almost entirely by the disappearance of Canadian snowbirds. This is not a temporary variance—it is baked into projections extending more than 15 years forward.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/eby...tism-9.7066320B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason'
British Columbia Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration for financial backing is an act of "treason" and it's an issue he'll raise as the premiers gather with the prime minister in Ottawa on Thursday.
"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the closed-door meeting.
He was reacting to reports that members of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration have held meetings with members of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a separatist group that is pushing for the western province to become independent.
The group is openly seeking a $500-billion US line of credit credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll the new country if they come out victorious in a referendum.
An official with the U.S. State Department confirmed the meetings, saying the department "regularly meets with civil society types," but added that "no commitments were made."

I don't see anything hostile about it. Canada is threatening to stop supporting defense across their country for threats headed to the U.S. We have to plan an alternative. More like welcome directness. The United States, under this President, is tired of our taxpayers being taken advantage of by it's neighbors and allies in Europe. 'em.
I think and Alberta/Minnesota trade would be a great consideration.
lol you're an idiot
https://apnews.com/article/trump-tar...8f834534e7eb88Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US, expanding trade war
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on any aircraft sold in the U.S., the latest salvo in his trade war with America’s northern neighbor as his feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney expands.
Trump’s threat posted on social media came after he threatened over the weekend to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if it went forward with a planned trade deal with China. But Trump’s threat did not come with any details about when he would impose the import taxes, as Canada had already struck a deal.
In Trump’s latest threat, the Republican president said he was retaliating against Canada for refusing to certify jets from Savannah, Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace.
Trump said the U.S., in return, would decertify all Canadian aircraft, including planes from its largest aircraft maker, Bombardier. “If, for any reason, this situation is not immediately corrected, I am going to charge Canada a 50% Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of America,” Trump said in his post.
Trump said he is “hereby decertifying” the Bombardier Global Express business jets. There are 150 Global Express aircraft in service registered in the U.S., operated by 115 operators, according to Cirium, the aviation analytics company.
...
“Canada’s stance is clear. Canada supports the necessity to prevent Iran’s nuclear program and the export of terrorism,” Carney said in French.
“Canada is not participating in the United States and Israeli offensive and will never participate in it.”

https://www.yacnews.com/europe-to-th...istoric-first/Europe to the world: ‘Canada is with us’ as it joins defence alliance in historic first
The European Parliament has formally consented to Canada's participation in the EU's Security Action for Europe programme, completing the last ins utional step required under EU treaty law and making the bilateral defence agreement fully binding on both sides.
The consent vote closes a ratification sequence that moved faster than most observers expected. The Canada-EU Security and Defence Partnership was signed at the Brussels summit in June 2025. Negotiations on SAFE participation concluded in December. EU member states endorsed the agreement on 19 December. Defence Minister David McGuinty signed the formal text at the Munich Security Conference on 14 February 2026. Under the treaty process, the deal could be provisionally applied from the moment of signature (meaning Canadian companies have been engaging with European procurement cycles since February), but formal legal conclusion required parliamentary consent. It now has it.
...
The most direct benefit is jobs. The February 2026 Defence Industrial Strategy commits 70% of federal defence contracts to Canadian firms within a decade. SAFE adds a second market for the companies that win those contracts. A manufacturer building artillery s s or communications satellites for the Canadian Armed Forces can now bid for European contracts using the same facilities and workforce. That means more sustained production runs, more hiring, and less exposure to a single buyer. The previous situation, where Canadian firms were heavily dependent on US defence contracts now subject to tariff disruption and procurement nationalism under the Trump administration, made the European diversification strategically urgent.
The downstream effects are real but diffuse. A Telesat or Kepler Communications winning European satellite contracts employs engineers in Ottawa, Waterloo, and Calgary. A Magellan Aerospace supplying engine components to a Eurofighter upgrade program keeps machining lines running in Mississauga and Winnipeg. CAE, which already operates simulation and training centres across Europe, gains preferential access to SAFE-funded contracts for pilot and operator training. None of these are overnight transformation. The analyst consensus is a one-to-two year lag before contract flow begins

The European Parliament consent vote is arriving in the middle of the densest week of Canada-EU engagement since the partnership began. On 11 May, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand was in Brussels to co-chair, alongside EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, the high-level meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children. Canada announced CAD 3.4 million in new support for the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, bringing Canada's total contribution to that mission to CAD 4.8 million. Anand also signed the Convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine, making Canada the first country outside Europe to join. Canada, Ukraine, and Norway will host a follow-on ministerial conference in Toronto on 28-29 September 2026, focused on the return of deported children, detained civilians, and prisoners of war.
Anand told Euronews what the ac ulation of activity represents. "Over the last year, we've signed over 20 security, defence and economic agreements around the world, and we're just getting started," she said. "The reason is that it's not just a policy response. The policy response is based on like-mindedness, on shared values, and on the belief that territorial integrity, state sovereignty, and multilateral trade are important values that we will continue to collectively work for."
Kallas has made the same point with less elaboration. She described Canada as "the most European of all the non-European countries in the world" and said Canada and the EU "can be a stabilising force for foreign policy and trade."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...droidApp_OtherCanada to order military plane fleet from Sweden in shift from US suppliers
Canada has announced plans to buy a fleet of early warning planes from Sweden’s Saab rather than a competing option from Boeing, as the country seeks to reduce reliance on US defense firms.
Mark Carney, the prime minister, said on Wednesday that Canada would opt for Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on Bombardier’s Global 6500 jet. Boeing’s E-7 Wedgetail plane – which has suffered from delays and cost overruns – had also been in contention.
“With a suite of advanced sensors and mission systems, Saab’s GlobalEye will be a key resource for the Canadian armed forces to detect and deter threats across the Arctic,” Carney told a defense conference in Ottawa.
The prime minister pledged in March that Canada would take full responsibility for protecting its vast Arctic territory, after relying on decades on a partnership with the US to monitor its more than 4.4m sq km (1.7m sq miles) of land and sea, a territory larger than India.
In a statement, Saab said it planned to invest in research and development work in Canada as part of any deal.
