Canada is preparing for war with the United States.

Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau says threats made by Donald Trump should be taken seriously.

This week Trudeau plans on shoring up alliances with allies in the EU and NATO.

Canadians have also started boycotting US made products and US businesses, focusing on those made by "red states".

Many provinces have pulled US made liquor from shelves to boycott the US.

Businesses in Canada plan to stop working with businesses in the US and have begun making plans to start working with business in other countries, such as those in the EU.

Canadian businesses are focusing on self sufficiency and trade diversification

"Trudeau's leadership has faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID crisis, leading to a loss of confidence among Canadians from various backgrounds. Key issues such as housing affordability, the rising cost of living and high levels of immigration contributed to widespread disillusionment. This growing frustration led to Trudeau's own Liberal supporters to start calling for his resignation.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's abrupt resignation on Dec. 16 further complicated Trudeau's political landscape and threw his Liberal Party into disarray, reviving calls for him to step down."

“"Federal funding to institutions that provide gender-affirming care continues to be available, irrespective of President Trump’s recent Executive Order," the attorneys general say.
