Is it 50% our fault in a “look what you made me do” kind of way, or did we actively intervene in something? It’s hard to keep up with all the ways we’re fucking people these days…
It’s the US’s fault in the way that taking ownership of your own countries faults is painful.
There’s definitely things the US and it’s representatives have done that have influenced decisions made by Canadians, but the bed is made primarily by Canadians.
Do you mind providing examples? I just remember some crazy shit going on with truckers that felt super-USA-influenced, but I don’t even remember what happened nor did I ever understand the nuances.
IIRC some American citizens participated in that, but the Canadian portion was largely a Canadian thing. It was influenced by Americans doing the same thing, but the Canadians weren’t forced to follow along. It’s just easier for people to say it’s someone else’s fault than to accept that it’s a much more nuanced issue than that. Reactionary mentality has been spreading around the world, and it isn’t the fault of the US, but it does play a part.

Tariffs.
We’re connected to the US in so many ways that the tariffs scared the shit out of everyone provincially and federally.
Everyone’s doing damage control so they don’t piss off the orange oompa-loompa.
