"I n a year that saw plenty of disruption, was there anything more unnerving than the abrupt end to the long, close alliance between Canada and the United States?"
"The sovereignty crisis touched so many topics: fighter jets, critical minerals, and patriotism, naturally, but also music festivals, labour data, and whether you should skip that carton of orange juice."
"Think of this list as a cheat sheet for the destabilizing new reality:"
A sudden rupture in the longstanding Canada–United States alliance produced a sovereignty crisis that disrupted policy and everyday life. The crisis influenced defense procurement decisions about fighter jets and reshaped control and access to critical minerals. Nationalist sentiment intensified and affected public expressions of patriotism. Cultural activities, including music festivals, experienced consequences tied to sovereignty concerns. Economic indicators such as labour data were implicated in sovereignty debates, and consumer decisions, down to whether to purchase a carton of orange juice, were reframed by the new geopolitical reality. A concise list serves as a practical cheat sheet for understanding these destabilizing changes.
