🇨🇦 Cinelli Chat: Are Canadians Too Passive?

With new U.S. tariffs on the horizon, many Canadians are asking: Where do we stand? And more importantly—do we ever push back?

Historically, Canada has played the polite neighbour. But maybe it’s time we stop being so passive. We’re not the 51st state—we’re a resource-rich, innovation-ready, globally respected nation. It’s time we act like it.

These tariffs might sting in the short term, but they could also be the wake-up call we need. A push to become more self-reliant. To invest in our industries. To stop depending so heavily on others and start betting on ourselves.

💡 What if tariffs are our turning point?

  • Canada is sitting on massive natural resources, including energy, agriculture, and tech talent.

  • We have global credibility, a stable democracy, and a strong rule of law.

  • Instead of being reactionary, we should be proactive—and strategic—about our global role.

It’s time to show a little Canadian backbone. Not with loud words, but with strong actions.

Let’s take back what’s ours. 🇨🇦
