Ian Lee is not doing a rant. He is doing arithmetic.
Canada ships about $400 billion a year to the United States. That sounds like a weapon until you put it against their economy. It is about 1.5 percent of U.S. GDP. One and a half fingers. They are a $32 trillion machine. China is a distant second. We are just over two.
A small country does not win a trade war with a large one. We do not have the cash or the cushion. Retaliation lands here first. Plants. Distilleries. The till. Not a podium in Washington.
The part Ottawa will not say is the part that should enrage you.
Trump did not invent the dependency. He did not ban pipelines for a decade. He did not write the $200 billion in interprovincial barriers. He did not decide we would sell almost everything south and then lecture the only customer. We did that. He found the cracks and pushed.
Carney ran as the adult who could close a deal. Seventeen months later the file is a slogan and a walk-away. Elbows up polls. Arithmetic does not.
Leeโs fix is not another speech in Europe. Kill the barriers between provinces. Move resources at volume. Stop pretending 1.5 percent of their GDP is a chokehold.
You cannot bring the largest economy on earth to its knees with a rounding error. You can only bring your own plants to a stop and call it principle.

Fun facts:
1) Ontario is the most indebted sub-sovereign in the world.
2) It has 4x the debt of California.
3) Ford is a Liberal who endorsed Olivia Chow then got in trouble for it so his office walked it back
Think about this.
Instead of the government of Canada giving $30 billion to Ukraine they could have built a brand new state of the art refinery that processes 1 million barrels of heavy oil.
Your cost of fuel would be cut in half.
But hey, laundering money is cool too I guess.

โผ๏ธ BREAKING: Canada's economic "recovery" just got exposed by StatCan's revisions:
The "shrinking population" excuse for weak growth?
It never happened.
Population was growing the whole time.
Per capita GDP growth was revised DOWN: 0.7%, not the 1.7% they claimed
The Q2 growth that did show up came mostly from oil exports, not policy.
Real unemployment is likely closer to 7.6%, not the 6.7% reported.
The economy was NOT recovering.
The numbers were just hiding how bad it is.
Here's a great summary of how credit cards work. Never carry a balance! Figure out another solution.
Credit cards should only be used if you're paying off the balance before the due date.
A lot of people don't know this basic rule about how credit cards work.
If you incur $100,000 in credit card debt and pay it off fully by the deadline, you pay no interest.
If you pay nothing by the deadline, they will charge interest on the full $100,000, and interest is charged from the day you made each purchase, not just from the statement date.
If you pay $99,999 but leave $1 outstanding by the deadline, they will still charge interest on the full $100,000 for the days it was outstanding.
The following month is where most people get caught. You are not just paying interest on the $1. You have lost your interest free period, so every new purchase starts charging interest from the day you make it, until you pay a full statement balance again.
This is often why you should not leave credit card debt outstanding.
Why does Iceland get to vote on joining the EUโฆ.

Oh yah. We live under the most tyrannical destructive regime in the developed world
Canada as Associate Member of the EU?
Watch this, Canadaโผ๏ธ
Greek MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou:
"Ms Ursula von der Leyen, there is no greater racist against Europeans than you.
You flooded us with illegal migrants.
You suffocated us with taxes and bureaucracy.
You crushed our farmers.
You shutting down Europe's factories.
You destroyed the nuclear family.
You imposed on us the Green Agenda, the Green Madness, The Islamisation of Europe."
This is who Mark Carney is working on and the the ideologies he wants Canada to join.
Canada has a senate with 105 seats, a house of commons with 343 seats.... and a supreme court with 9 judges
457 people paid to protect our nation from authoritarianism
and not ONE of them could do ANYTHING to stop Mark Carney from getting a majority by floor crossing...
turning off the microphones and video cameras at committees....
and then doing Youtube decrees seeking to join the EU member block and signing 100 year deals with Ukraine?
Our system is DEEPLY flawed.
Just in - Ive been tipped off that the ESDC program that GIVES $5,000 more to Canadian employers
if they hire an immigrant over a Canadian citizen, is being renewed.
Imagine paying taxes to pay for your replacement.
Dear Muslims: My family and I have decided to move from the US to a Muslim country. We haven't picked which one yetโwe're still comparing which one offers the best benefits package.
All my neighbors want to come too. And my neighbors' neighbors. And all their friends. And their friends' friends. Millions of us will show up with suitcases and a sense of entitlement.
As a large Christian community, we'll need a few small changes: Please start building churches immediately. Real churches, with nice loud bells, the kind that can be heard from the town square.
We'll also need for everyone to celebrate Christmas, and to close certain streets once a year for our processions. We may want to gather to pray to our Almighty God on your streets, in your parks, or on the lawns of your mosques.
We'll be an oppressed minority, so you'll have to be understanding and adapt to our way of life. Every supermarket must stock real pork, ham, chorizo, and bacon. And we're bringing all our dogs, so you'll need dog parks, and you'll have to smile tolerate them we walk them in front of your mosques. We want our women to be able to safely go out alone and wear shorts and tank tops. And when the weather's nice, we men like to go shirtless. We also want to drink alcohol, dance, and place an occasional bet at the horse races.
While we're at it, your religious holidays are a bit too much; they could offend the Christian community, so we'd appreciate it if you'd discreetly eliminate them. Thanks.
In schools and workplaces, our children and employees must be able to wear large crucifixes, say prayers, eat ham sandwiches in the cafeteria, and learn Christian principles without anyone getting criticized. We also demand chapels or Christian prayer rooms in every building, plus translators, because we have no intention of learning Arabic.
If any of this is rejected, please send a list of police station addresses so we can report you for discrimination, Christianophobia, racism, and anything we don't like.
One more thing: if my kids protest or burn your flag for any reason, please be understanding. I'll be sure to give them a very serious scolding.
Finally, we all want generous benefits, free housing, phones, free food, and pocket money while we "integrate" over the next three generations. Working is optional, obviously. Be patient with us, you'll get used to it.
We thank you in advance for your tolerance and compassion. After all, diversity is our strength!
Sincerely,
A Very Reasonable Christian
We finally have Liberal politicians defending Canada's oil industry and echoing what we all been saying for 11 years.
With a dig at Donald Trump.
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson:
"Our allies all over the world are shutting down factories, shutting down schools cause they don't have access to conventional energy.
We do it better, we do it cleaner than anywhere in the world.
Canada is a trusted partner that doesn't sign its contracts in pencil."
That's all great to hear but where is the disconnect from action?
Why are we not building multiple pipelines, why do we still have the red tape, why do we still require uneconomical carbon capture.
Our allies need help NOW and we can't build a pipeline in 10 years.
Did anyone in Canada vote for provoking tariffs and counter-tariffs on our number one trading partner
surging deficits
"military cooperation" with China
floor crossing MPs
and a new world order with the EU? Anyone?
Muslims in the West vote for left-wing parties because they support Islamic immigration, give them welfare benefits, tolerate their crimes, and restrict any criticism of Islam.
Itโs not rocket science. The left and progressives are willingly choosing to be Islamโs useful idiots.
Muslims vote for more Muslims and whoever gives them more power, until they have the numbers and no longer need the alliance. They donโt care about โprogressiveโ or โconservativeโ labels. They only care about advancing Islam.
What people fail to understand is that Islam is its own political entity, and it completely falls outside the Western leftโright spectrum.
How hard is it to put them on the first plane back to where they came from FFS.

Nobody, I MEAN NOBODY, elected Mark Carney to "coordinate our militaries" with the Communist Party of China.
That's EXACTLY what happened on Sep. 4th, according to the CCP Ministry of Defense.
When Elbow Uptards in Eastern Canada are calling Alberta and Albertans names and traitors because we are against self destruction and putting taxes on our oil&gas exports to the US, just show them this.
When the welfare recipients start pulling their own weight and can stand on their own two feet, we can talk.
To every half brained nitwit like Adam Zivo screaming "traitor" over a meme.
This Liberal government has spent ten years robbing the people it swore to serve with no accountability.
Those aren't traitors apparently, no, @MarcNixon24 shares one Meme... and that's a traitor?
Did you call anyone in this list a traitor for helping to facilitate defrauding people of their money Adam?

AMAZING!
Here's a meme for all you Liberals! I made it just for you!
The Liberal Party of Canada is responsible for the decline of Canada, not Donald Trump.
The evidence is 100% crystal clear and ready for you when you're ready to set aside your emotions and leave the cult.
It never ceases to amaze me just how compromised and incompetent Canada is....such a wild story.
The Canadian government awarded millions in contracts to a son of an Iranian VP while being under investigation into allegations that he helped the terrorist Islamic Republic of Regime avoid sanctions and develop missile systems.
The details are insaneโผ๏ธ
> Before immigrating to Canada, its alleged he developed anti-aircraft missiles system and jamming tools to confront American aircrafts.
> he was part of a covert procurement structure that used a SE Asia company to buy components for the IRGC.
> He admitted to active participation in procurement activities that benefited the IRGC, according to CSIS.
> He immigrated to Canada via the Alberta skilled worker program ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
> He traveled back to Iran to meet with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). Their function is to acquire technology for the IRGC.
> He got funding from RCMP and the Depart of National Defense.โ๏ธ
> Was part of a trade mission to Latin America.
> Was invited to propose legislation by Alberta's government by the economic development minister.
So the Canadian government, RCMP and Military nonetheless, lined up the pockets and funded tech of someone who CSIS thinks was working for and developing tech for a terrorist regime. And Alberta invited him to consult on legislation.
How is it possible to be so corrupt and incompetentโ๏ธ F๐คฌ
