A self-imposed boycott by Canadians, stemming from President Trump’s antagonistic policies and rhetoric, has effectively created an insurmountable, albeit imaginary, wall between the two nations. Decades of Canadian tolerance for American cultural influence now faces a backlash fueled by Trump’s actions, leading to decreased tourism and trade. This shift reflects a growing Canadian patriotism and a desire to distance themselves from the current state of American politics. The resulting economic impact on the United States underscores the previously underappreciated value of the Canada-US relationship, even as the two countries diverge ideologically and politically. Ironically, Trump’s attempts to diminish Canada have inadvertently strengthened Canadian national identity.

Despite this, the administration maintains its commitment to deporting “the worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens.

The event’s estimated $25–$45 million price tag drew heavy criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans, who condemned it as wasteful and reminiscent of authoritarian regimes.
