USA STARTS A TRADE WAR WITH CANADA and TRUMP says we should be the 51st State #tradewar
On March 3rd, 2025, President Donald Trump made a false claim that huge amounts of drugs were being imported into the United States from Canada.
He used that claim to justify the opening salvo in what has since escalated into a trade war—one that now threatens workers, businesses, and entire industries across borders. The U.S. Senate has since rejected that justification, confirming what many of us already knew: it was a political stunt with no factual basis.
That same day, I began a project to archive and analyze the front pages of major news outlets around the world. I wanted to document how this crisis is being reported, whose voices are being heard—or silenced—and how different media ecosystems interpret the same moment in time.
This uncovered that some of our News Papers are owned by Postmedia a US media company.
And ownership matters. It matters when Postmedia, Canada’s largest newspaper chain, is two-thirds owned by Chatham Asset Management, a U.S.-based firm with deep ties to the Republican Party.
It matters when senior editorial figures within Postmedia call their own network “insufficiently conservative” and restructure reporting to ensure more ideologically aligned coverage.
When a foreign-owned media conglomerate influences the political narrative of a sovereign nation during an election and a trade war, we must ask: what’s the difference between that and foreign interference?
