## Resource

The U.S.-Canada trade war is boiling over, with 50% tariffs crushing families and straining hospitals—especially in New York’s 21st district. Candidate Blake Gendebien calls for an end to the conflict, while opponent Anthony Constantino backs Trump’s tough stance, arguing America holds the leverage. Things escalate when Canada’s PM demands serious talks after Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America—a move both Hochul and Carney refuse to recognize. Gendebien condemns the renaming as unneighborly, while Constantino celebrates it as a diplomatic flex. With Election Day just two months away, voters are watching closely as polls show widespread disapproval of the name change and concern over economic fallout.
