Wrong question, as no one is giving up on .CA because of Trump, but it's bad news for .CA end user sales, as companies seem to be hunkering down to see what happens before making any big expenditures.
California will love .ca if the US adds 10 states.
We can never be the 51st state, each province would gave to decide separately.
Canada will only fall if the furst province decides to leave, then things will escalate fast
Look to Alberta or Quebec if anything happens.

Alberta and BC would the only one they'd want, and maybe Ontario, as the rest are bleeding money like mad and adding a money-sink like Quebec would probably bankrupt the USA.
But it's all wild conjecture because it's never going to happen. If nothing else, the First Nations would shut it down pretty quick because they've got a good thing with all the "settler guilt" in Canada, translating into billions of dollars a year, while the US doesn't give a crap and never has.

I wonder how the Trump supporters in Canada feel about this trade war, and threatening Canada and other allies.
The whole Canada becoming the 51st state thing is completely ludicrous.

No matter which one of those bozos ended up winning, there would be problems.
Trade War vs Rampant Crime & Migration
After experiencing rampant crime & migration for 4 years, a trade war sounds like a nice change of pace.

Stop allowing Canada to be a waystation for migrants and immigrants wanting to get into the USA.
All this "guns and drugs crossing the border" is total BS designed to create headlines, but lots of immigrants/migrants/refugees do abuse our system (duh!) to provide them easy access to the US. Then again, our immigration/foreign worker/foreign student system is so screwed up and rampantly abused that it's probably irreparable at this point.

By sending troops to the US/Canadian border?

It's easier to just close all the loopholes and abusive pathways, but the Liberals are so owned by foreign money that it's highly unlikely to change. Plus, it's impossible to get rid of the criminal element in Canada and no one ever gets deported - there was new immigrant in Vancouver with a rap sheet a mile long, and after multiple court cases and appeals (all at taxpayer expense) the CBSA finally got the deportation order... then Trudeau promptly cancelled it and let the perp stay.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, but all governments sell out their people. The difference is that the Liberals sell us out to foreign/international interest, while the PCs sell us out to national interest.

To almost nobody's surprise, the tariffs actually had nothing to do with drugs or illegals.
Trump tells Trudeau he wants U.S. banks in Canada.
Now, my question is: what's worse for our economy, U.S. banks or U.S. tariffs?
I don't think Trump knows what he wants, he just want's to intimidate.
If we had just been absolutely non reactive he would have gone and picked on someone else. He thrives on feeling important and if you ignore him he will go away.
Tariffs are paid by his own people, we would just have had to ride him out a few weeks until he was forced to remove them as the Americans squawked over prices.

In BC, the gov't is happy to launder chinese drug money through their casinos so the gov't casinos essentially get a cut, and I'm sure employees/politicians get a bribe. Then when the laundered money goes into local real estate, then the local governments charge an extra tax, so they effectively get a second cut from the laundered funds. BC is happy to let this go on because its free money coming into the local economy. When it was investigated like 10 years ago or whatever it was, there was no penalty to the people in charge of the Gov't casinos allowing this to happen, and then they pretend to make changes but I'm sure it still goes on, they just know how to hide it a little better.

I quote USD to American companies. There’s no need to quote in USD to Canadian companies anymore. It used to be something I did but it was an issue for me in the past because escrow would not allow for CAD$ transactions. That has changed since and now I quote CAD to Canadian companies.
I buy a lot via dn.ca and have never paid in us. Most deKs i make direct are in CAD if in Canada and USD if anywhere else.
I think one of the things holding back .ca on other platforms is that one cannot pay in CAD. Lets face it, in most cases you are selling to a Canadian and pricing in CAD only makes sense. I have passed on buying a lot of domains because of the hassle with conversion.
Did you know when you buy from godaddy auction and the refund you, you have to pay the bsnk fee of 2% twice? Yup cost me 4 percent on a bad 20k auction.
