Tariffs.
We’re connected to the US in so many ways that the tariffs scared the shit out of everyone provincially and federally.

It’s the US’s fault in the way that taking ownership of your own countries faults is painful.
Theres definitely

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.
