Trade talks between Canada and the United States just collapsed again. But here's what nobody in Washington seems to remember: America has tried this exact playbook before, and it has never once worked. From Smoot-Hawley in 1930, to Nixon's 1971 import surcharge, to five separate softwood lumber disputes since the 1980s, the pattern is always the same: the US imposes tariffs, Canada retaliates, and the US backs down after its own economy takes the bigger hit. In this video, I break down the real history of US-Canada trade wars, what actually happened the last five times America tried to bully Canada with tariffs, and why this round is likely to end the same way. What you'll learn: Why the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act backfired so badly on the US How Canada beat Nixon's 1971 tariffs in under four months The decades-long softwood lumber dispute and what international trade bodies ruled Why Canada holds more leverage over US energy than most people realize What's actually different (and not different) about the current Canada-US trade war If you're trying to understand the Canada tariffs situation, the US-Canada trade war news, or just want the historical context nobody's giving you, this one's for you. 🇨🇦 Follow along for more no-nonsense Canadian commentary on politics, trade, and identity. #CanadaUSTradeWar #Tariffs #CanadaNews #USCanadaRelations #TradeWar #CanadianPolitics #SoftwoodLumber #TrumpTariffs #CanadaEconomy #TradeWarHistory -- 🏆 Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! https://www.youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/join 📰 NEWSLETTER https://newsletter.todmaffin.com ✅ MY LINKTREE: https://links.todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff? — Buy me a coffee https://support.todmaffin.com 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com 🔗 Contact my team — https://contact.todmaffin.com
