Why are Canadian religious groups still silent about the impact of Trump's tariff threats?









(Don't you hate it when a columnist keeps banging on about the same thing? Here I go again . . . )

Earlier this week, a friend posted a prayer about Donald Trump’s tariffs and the silence of the churches over those threats. 

In it, he asked: “I thought you said you’d never let hell overcome it, O Lord. But seriously, what the hell is with your church?” 

It’s a good question. Six weeks after Trump launched the trade war, musing about taking over Canada, only one major Christian, Jewish or Muslim group or denomination has posted anything about this existential threat — despite the fact it dominates almost all discourse in this country these days.
