    It’s an odd contradiction. One day, we’re in a full-blown trade war with the United States, boycotting American whiskey and throwing around retaliatory tariffs like poker chips. The next, we’re welcoming U.S. firefighters with open arms to help battle raging wildfires in northern Manitoba. This is Canada-U.S. relations in 2025. On one hand, we have tit-for-tat tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber and other goods.

No angry premiers storming out. No federal lectures about jurisdiction. And, most surprisingly, no perennial squabbling over federal transfer payments.

    If you want to see what climate change looks like in real time, look no further than the smouldering forests of northern Manitoba. If you want to understand how fast a threat can turn into a crisis, ask the residents of northern communities who have been forced to flee their homes.
