Throughout the U.S. presidential campaign, we heard much from Donald Trump about how he wants to bring jobs and industry back to American soil, rip up NAFTA, build walls and enact all other manners of protectionist policies.

But how will all of that affect Canada? Will American companies continue to produce goods in Canada? Will there be an economic void in the world that Canada is poised to fill? Will the loonie soar or take a dive?

If America is made great again, as Donald Trump has said (and trademarked), will Canada be better off?

So tell us, is Donald Trump a friend or foe to Canada’s economy?
