Much of the Canadian media, I mean, and a certain class of Canadians who fall for implausible nationalist distractions like “Canada first” and “buy Canadian” and “elbows up.” It wasn’t long ago that a brief Central Canadian spasm of performative patriotism saw Alberta Premier Danielle Smith widely pilloried (in certain circles) for displaying insufficient nationalist fervour in countering President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
