Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A lot of things could happen. Maybe Unicorns will be discovered in the wild tomorrow, which would be about as likely as this happening.

Very unlikely and speculative that EU should hang Canada out to dry. If aluminum should be a huge problem, it will be regulated to not be too disruptive.
Canada and EU already have a trade agreement, with both Canada and EU facing unstable American policies and market, both have an interest in closer relations.

Could, but should not. It would be against everyone's best interest.

"Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminium could see billions of dollars’ worth of Canadian metals being redirected and dumped on Europe. Could this spark a second transatlantic trade war?"

Just at the point we need to build an army. Oh no!

Exactly. Europe should see all Canada's steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they're going to need to build and use to stop Russia.
