Falling out of love with America? Share your stories of what cross-border tension means to you

The U.S. and Canadian flags fly at Peace Arch Historical State Park on the U.S.-Canadian border in Blaine, Washington, on March 5, 2025.

In border towns and grocery stores, from the mouths of politicians campaigning and sports fans booing, from snowbirds to TikTokers there’s a parade of Canadians seemingly falling out of love with America.

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.

Have you cancelled travel plans, changed shopping patterns, lost friends, argued with family, sold property, shifted investments, embraced public patriotism? Have you retained an affinity for America and Americana? Are you upset with Canadians displaying their frustration?

Please share your personal stories of what the new continental circumstances means to you and your family, for possible use in National Post’s ongoing coverage of the changing nature of the cross-border ties that bind.
