Mark Carney’s dramatic claim that the U.S. threatened Quebec’s French culture and language reeks of political opportunism. With zero independent proof or U.S. confirmation of any such demands, he’s cynically waving the identity flag to shore up Quebec support after walking away from talks—turning a trade failure into a sovereignty scare while offering Canadians only his word. This transparent stunt insults voters’ intelligence and exposes his weak, divisive leadership.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🚨 The reporter who asked this question is from Radio-Canada, which is part of the CBC news network, so it is part of the propaganda machine that the Liberal government funds to the tune of over $1 billion per year. 🎭

This might be a great time to point out that more than 90% of Mark Carley’s investments are in the USA.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

He campaigned on a better deal than what we have with CUSMA

AND INSTEAD WE GOT ECONOMIC WARFARE!

With Alabama having a higher GDP/capita than Canada. 😭

WE NEED TO SEE THE DEAL CARNEY WALKED AWAY FROM

[RMC86 @RMC19861987]

This is just the beginning.
📉 "Layoff notices going out, production being scaled back. A lot of people are going to be hurting."
🤬 Carney's had 18 months. He sold himself as the man to handle Trump. He never wanted a deal. 🍊 Man Bad is too valuable for the Liberals to maintain power & debt spend as they please.
🪡 I'm stitching together a longer video of the impacts from today's reports.

Canada Cannot Win a Trade War. It Needs a rational honest Strategy.

The prize in Canada’s confrontation with Washington is continued access to the world’s largest economy, sitting directly next door. The United States is a roughly $32 T market. China may be the second-largest economy, but it is far away and cannot replace the commercial advantages of geography, common infrastructure, familiar legal practices, and deeply integrated North American supply chains.

Canada cannot win a trade war with its largest trading partner. It can defend itself, impose focused costs where it has leverage, and negotiate hard. But it cannot plausibly inflict equivalent damage on an economy many times its size while remaining so dependent on access to that market. The U.S. still takes roughly 72 percent of Canadian goods exports.

That is why the objective should not be performative escalation. Broad retaliatory tariffs may satisfy an understandable desire to hit back, but they raise prices for Canadian families, increase input costs for Canadian firms, and risk making Canada a less attractive place to invest and manufacture. Tariffs can be a temporary, targeted negotiating tool; they are not an economic-growth strategy. Trade wars end at negotiating tables, not through successive announcements of measures that harm one’s own economy.

The reaction from much of Canada suggests that the country has not yet absorbed the seriousness of its predicament. The instinct has been to demand visible defiance, treat retaliation as proof of resolve, and turn a structural economic challenge into an emotional political contest. That is backwards. Performative policies helped bring Canada to its present position; more performative politics will not get it out.

Canada’s vulnerability is not solely the product of Trump Hamiltonian economic strategy. It reflects decades of domestic neglect: weak business investment, stalled productivity, regulatory complexity, barriers to internal trade, delayed infrastructure, and economic policies that too often favour subsidies and protection over competition, capital formation and globally competitive firms.

The consequences are increasingly visible. Canada’s investment per worker was only 85 percent of its 2014 level by 2023, while business research-and-development spending of roughly 1.8 percent of GDP lagged both the OECD average and the United States. These weaknesses did not begin with the present dispute. But the dispute has exposed them.

Emotional responses should not become national strategy. Anger at Washington, and the temptation to reduce everything to hostility toward one American president, obscure a more durable reality: U.S. trade policy is increasingly tied to national security, industrial policy and geopolitical power. That shift will not disappear with one election or one negotiator.

Canada needs firmness without fantasy. But it must also accelerate energy, transport and trade infrastructure; Canada needs to deregulate, improve investment competitiveness; lower internal barriers; strengthen productivity; diversify exports; and restore fiscal discipline.

Canada needs time it’s does not have. Canada needs finesse. Not what has been on display recently.

Canada cannot replace the American market overnight. The task is to secure access to it while fixing the domestic weaknesses that have made Canada so exposed. Decades of neglect are coming home to roost.

[Scott Fox @ScottFoxonair]

Please understand: If we had a worked out a deal with the Americans, our politicians would have nothing left to distract Canadians with. They would finally have to deal with domestic issues. They don’t want to talk about healthcare, crime, the economy, poverty, the mental health crisis, etc.
They never wanted a deal. Especially the Premiers.

[Society Unveiled @Soc_Unveiled]

Mark Carney is by far, the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history.

It's not even close!

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

This is incredible propaganda. There’s something very wrong when you go from being “this close to a trade deal” to repeating lines from a propagandistic speech from April of 2025.
This Party saw the writing on the wall, not having Trump to fear would bring support crumbling to the ground. How can you control a population when your main boogeyman no longer exists. They are toying with people’s minds. We aren’t even worthy of knowing what was even in this trade deal.

We are witnessing Carney’s “Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?” moment & we all know how that ended.

[The Bush Archive @TheBushArchive]

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper left office Canada had:
The richest Middle Class in the G7.
A $1.9 billion surplus Budget.
Canada ranked 1st in Financial Stability.
Canadians had the lowest Tax Burden since the 60s.
Reduced crime by 26%.

Old video, but worth watching again

He dumps 30,000 litres of milk at the end of the month.

On purpose.
Because the quota system says so.

Watch him.
It breaks his heart.
He grew up on a dairy farm.
Work. Work. Work.
And this is where it lands.

Canadian families still pay through the nose at the till.
A premium bottle in that barn is sitting near eight bucks.
Regular milk is still expensive.
And usable milk is going down the drain.

He says farmers have no say anymore.
The board decides.
Ottawa protects the system.
Then writes compensation cheques when the trade file blows a hole in it.

Billions already paid to keep supply management “intact.”
Meanwhile a guy in the parlor has to dump product he produced.

That is not a farmer failing.
That is a protected system failing Canadians on both ends.

Food wasted.
Prices high.
Nobody at the grocery store gets a vote.

[BigBriBaby @BigBriBaby]

@ryangerritsen I bet that's what they referred to as limiting Canada's ability to enter into trade agreements with other countries. The Americans didn't want Canada supporting slavery or serving as a backdoor for Chinese goods.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

This is Carney today admitting that limiting trade with China due to forced labor practices was part of the deal he walked away from.
Translation - Ya we care about forced labor, but not enough to stop dealing with Chinese markets that may or may not use it.

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

🚨 SOMEBODY ISN’T TELLING THE FULL STORY ABOUT THE 🇨🇦🇺🇸TRADE DEAL.

Washington and Ottawa are now giving Canadians two completely different explanations for why negotiations collapsed.

The U.S. says:

Canada declined to finalize terms agreed earlier this week
Canada introduced new demands
Canada walked back previous commitments
Canada continued retaliatory measures against U.S. goods
Washington offered major tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber
The deal included aerospace coordination, critical minerals, digital trade, export controls, forced-labour enforcement and formal USMCA negotiations

Now compare that with Ottawa.

Canada says:

Important progress had been made
The U.S. made last-minute changes
Those changes were unfair and uneconomic
Carney suspended negotiations and ordered Canadian negotiators home

That’s basically it.

No detailed explanation of WHAT Washington allegedly changed.

No list of the unacceptable provisions.

No explanation of which previously agreed terms were altered.

No detailed rebuttal of the U.S. claim that Canada introduced new demands.

No explanation of what Canada was being asked to concede in exchange for lower tariffs.

And that is the problem.

The U.S. has put substantially more detail into the public record than the Canadian government has.

That does NOT automatically mean Washington is telling the truth.

But if Ottawa’s version is accurate, Canadians deserve to see the evidence.

What exactly did the Americans change at the last minute?

Which provisions became “uneconomic”?

What commitments does Washington claim Canada walked back?

What did Canada demand that the U.S. refused?

There is also one fact neither side can really dispute:

Canada walked away.

Carney’s own statement says HE suspended negotiations and ordered Canada’s negotiators back to Ottawa.

Meanwhile, the U.S. says Canada was being offered significant reductions on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber potentially some of the most favourable treatment available to a major exporter.

Ottawa doesn’t really dispute that concessions were offered.

It says they simply weren’t enough.

So Canadians deserve the documents.

Release the negotiating framework from earlier this week.

Release the final U.S. proposal.

Show exactly what changed.

Because right now Washington is making specific allegations while Ottawa is asking Canadians to accept a much more generalized explanation.

If the U.S. really blew up the deal with last-minute demands, prove it.

If Canada walked back commitments, Canadians deserve to know that too.

What does Ottawa have to hide?

Release the terms.

Canada’s Trade-War Denial

Canada does not need “time to adjust.” It needs a political class willing to stop confusing indignation with economic policy. And it needs access to the US market.

President Trump is focused on economic sovereignty, this is not personal this is business.

I assumed Mark Carney understood that. He has spent enough time around markets and capital to know that a country cannot posture its way out of a competitiveness crisis. Yet Ottawa’s turn toward symbolism and performative retaliation suggests that faith was misplaced.

Canada does not need another era of Pierre Elliott Trudeau-style progressive theatre: moral signalling, state direction, and lofty ambition detached from the hard work of building productive capacity. It needs an adult willing to confront vested interests, make trade-offs, and put economic strength ahead of political performance. The last adult, it seems, has just left the room.

The elbows-up strategy is embarrassing and hurts Canada long term, like a teenager emotional response to the reality of the world. Carney’s use of it helps neither negotiation nor leverage, and it wounds Canada more than the U.S.

The central strategic objective is obvious: preserve access to the United States, the world’s largest and most dynamic market, Canada’s neighbour, and the foundation of its export economy. That access is not a talking point. It supports Canadian jobs, investment, supply chains, and growth.

Canada focus on China is an own goal. China cannot replace it. China is distant, strategically uncertain, and separated from Canada by geography, institutions, and infrastructure. It cannot reproduce continental integration: shared energy systems, cross-border capital, integrated factories, common standards, and decades of commercial interdependence.
Canada does not get to trade on sentiment while depending on geography.

Nor can it “win” a trade war with its largest customer. Ottawa can impose targeted costs where it has genuine leverage. It can negotiate firmly. But broad retaliation is not a strategy. It is emotional performance masquerading as economic policy.

Too many in the political and economic elite appear to believe retaliation can force the structural adjustment Canada has avoided for years. It cannot. Tariffs do not raise productivity. They do not attract investment, reduce regulatory costs, or make Canadian businesses more competitive. They raise prices for households, increase costs for manufacturers, and encourage mobile capital to locate elsewhere.
Retaliation for its own sake is an expensive expression of national frustration. Canadians pay the bill.

The deeper problem is not merely American pressure. It is Canadian failure: weak business investment, poor productivity growth, regulatory paralysis, provincial trade barriers, slow approvals, inadequate infrastructure, and a subsidy culture that protects incumbents rather than rewards builders.

Canada is rich in assets and poor in execution. It has energy, minerals, capital, skilled people, and privileged proximity to America. Yet it has made investment too slow, too risky, and too expensive.

The answer is not submission. It is reform: deregulate, accelerate approvals, remove barriers to capital and internal trade, and lower the cost of building.

Canada may need time to adjust. But first it needs to end its denial.

[TR6Guy @tr6_guy]

Carney destroyed the economy in the 🇬🇧.

Now he has destroyed the economy of 🇨🇦.

From the start Carney claimed our relationship with 🇺🇸 is over.

So why are you surprised he failed to get a trade deal with 🇺🇸? It's all planned destruction.

Elbows Up.

[NearNorth @2AforCanada]

Every Canadian auto worker and all those, all steel workers, all aluminum workers, all soft wood lumber producers, you just got kicked in the face to protect wealthy Quebec dairy farmers and their precious Liberal votes.

[Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast @thesovereignceo]

This is ABHORRENT behaviour.

Mocking seriously injured Canadians at the Allison Inquiry and the only MP in parliament willing to take action steps to help them get the medical care they need.

Scott Reid and Kory Teneycke are paid MSM pundits and “consultants.” Scott Reid’s son works for Mark Carney while he pretends to be an unbiased voice on MSM and Kory gets paid via government contracts.

This is truly disgusting behaviour.
