Beyond the economic fear and tariff fallout, the taunts and tension from U.S. President Donald Trump are challenging Canada’s cultural comfort with the United States and straining social ties with our closest international neighbours.

National Post wants to hear from readers on both sides of the border about how you are navigating this change and how you are responding to the White House’s idiosyncratic messaging about Canada.

Get a dash of perspective along with the trending news of the day in a very readable format.
