Canadian Public Opinion Influencing U.S. Supreme Court Decisions? Trump Terminates All Trade Negotiations with the Country

　　On the evening of October 23 Eastern Time, Trump stated on social media that, in light of Canadian local governments attempting to influence the U.S. judicial system's handling of tariff cases through false propaganda, he has decided to terminate all trade negotiations with the country.

　　Trump believes that this public opinion offensive from Canada is intended to influence the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to begin hearing arguments on November 5 regarding lawsuits surrounding the legality of the White House's tariff measures.

　　On August 29, the Washington Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a previous ruling by the Court of International Trade, stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) cited by the Trump administration did not grant it the authority to implement "fentanyl tariffs" and "reciprocal tariffs," and that its actions exceeded its authority.

　　On September 3, the Trump administration formally appealed to the Supreme Court, urging it to overturn the ruling as soon as possible. The White House claimed that the outcome had suddenly cast a shadow over the president's efforts over the past five months, endangering agreements reached with other countries and ongoing negotiations. It therefore requested an emergency hearing, warning that failure to do so would bring disaster to the United States.

　　On March 4, the U.S. reciprocal tariff measures against Canada and Mexico officially took effect. In response, provinces such as Ontario, the most populous, removed American-brand alcoholic products from shelves. The public also began spontaneously boycotting U.S. products and canceling trips to the United States.

　　On the evening of October 22, Carney revealed in a speech at the University of Ottawa in the capital that the government would, in the autumn budget to be released in two weeks, establish a goal to double exports to non-U.S. markets over the next decade, increase investment in major projects, and adjust the focus of immigration policies to align immigration levels with the country's actual needs and capacity to absorb newcomers.

　　Canada, known for its vast land and sparse population, has long been famous for its open and inclusive immigration policies. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid influx of new immigrants, particularly from India, has led to persistently high housing prices and severe strain on healthcare resources. Faced with rising public discontent, the Trudeau government continued to tighten immigration policies last year, including halting the "in-country tourist visa to work permit" program.

　　Analysis from the immigration sector suggests that the new policies may include reducing permanent resident quotas, limiting the number of temporary residents and study permit policies, and revising asylum legislation.
