Donald Trump's presidency has injected a degree of unprecedented uncertainty into the vibrancy of Canada-U.S. political, economic and social relations. How do we explain President Trump's approach to Canada? Is this approach - calling for Canada to become the 51st state, asking for the removal of the so-called "artificial boundary,” invoking tariffs, challenging the validity of existing binational agreements - specific to Canada, or is it representative of a broader view of global affairs? How should Canada respond to these challenges?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Please join us for our very last Canadian Studies Program event at 133 Court Street. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We thank you in advance for your interest and response. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#4472c4"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
