I’m a decades-long student of the Chinese Communist Party’s 1999 military doctrine, Unrestricted Warfare. There are 13000 articles on the topic in my Flipboard.
“It has been driven by a combination of enhanced resources dedicated to Canadian subversion by Beijing, alongside fortification of the CCP’s proxies in Canada, in sync with a strongly renewed mobilization of captured Canadian co-opted elites.”

Reagan supported presidential powers of tariffs for special purposes of protecting free trade.
Canadians are, by design, being intentionally misinformed by Facebook algorithms, politicians, legacy media, and academia on the purpose and need for Trump’s “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation” agenda in the post-WTO global trade order.
The World Trade Organization has been defunct ever since 2016 when China was denied its market-economy status.
With only 15 years of being granted access to the backrooms of all of our entities within the World Trade Organization system, the Chinese Communist Party effectively mass-mobilized its 1.2 billion military-civilian soldiers to leverage the weight of an entire nation against the most important individuals that sit at the helms of every top entity, and ultimately weaponized the constraints of the WTO system against all free-market economies with the militarized nonmarket-based economy of China.
This is why Trump pulled out of the CCP-conquered Global Liberal Order(WHO, WTO, UN, TPP) that the US was instrumental in establishing and maintaining for over 70 years, and has now rewritten the global rules of trade with his Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation agenda.
Anyone who opposes Trump’s civilization-saving agenda(10-20% tariffs for allies, 60% tariffs for China) unwittingly supports an old Free-Trade Global Order that the Chinese Communist Party has weaponized against free-market nations, which is leading to all of our nations being simultaneously raided and collapsed via our co-opted traitor politicians, elites, institutions, academia, media, and Big Tech.

Here’s the current status of Trump’s civilization-saving, “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation”, American agenda:
(CBC, the Liberals, and Facebook are determined to conceal these details from their targeted subjects)
“As of mid-August 2026 (second Trump administration), the agenda emphasizes protectionist tariffs for leverage/revenue/reindustrialization, major tax cuts via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and aggressive deregulation with a 10-to-1 rule (remove 10 regulations per new one). These form core pillars of the “America First” economic approach, often paired with bilateral “Agreements on Reciprocal Trade” (ARTs). Tariff revenues help offset OBBBA’s fiscal costs. Outcomes remain debated (e.g., trade deficit reduction claims vs. inflation/uncertainty effects), with ongoing court challenges.
Tariffs:
The administration has maintained elevated effective tariff rates (central estimates around 9–11% trade-weighted as of mid-2026, up sharply from ~2.5% pre-2025) through shifting legal authorities after setbacks.
• Early “Liberation Day” (April 2025) reciprocal/global tariffs (often under IEEPA, with rates up to 10–50%+ and higher on China/others) drove the average rate higher (peaking estimates near 13–16% in periods of 2025–early 2026) and supported negotiations.
• February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidated broad IEEPA-based tariffs. The administration immediately imposed a temporary 10% global surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (150-day limit).
• After Section 122 expired around late July 2026, it was largely replaced by Section 301 tariffs (10% or 12.5%, often net of MFN rates) on ~60 economies covering the vast majority (~99%) of U.S. imports, justified primarily on forced-labor enforcement failures. Additional Section 301 actions target excess capacity (involving the EU + ~15 countries, including China, India, Japan) and others (e.g., 25% on many Brazilian goods).
• Sectoral/national-security tariffs under Section 232 remain active or expanded (steel/aluminum/copper ~25–50%, autos/parts, pharmaceuticals up to high rates with phase-ins/exemptions for deal partners, polysilicon, etc.). Other tools include Section 338 (e.g., 50% on certain Canadian goods, effective ~mid-August 2026) and related measures.
• Parallel progress: Multiple ARTs/framework deals (e.g., with Argentina, Taiwan, EU elements, Japan, India, others) for market access, investment commitments, and alignment against China; USMCA review ongoing; claimed reductions in goods trade deficit (especially with China) and diversified imports. Revenue has been significant (hundreds of billions potentially over time) but subject to refunds from invalidated measures and legal challenges (including by states). Uncertainty persists as new investigations and adjustments continue.
Taxes:
The centerpiece is the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted around mid-2025 and described by the administration as the largest tax cut in history. It extends/makes permanent key 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions, adds new relief, and aims to boost investment/wages while using tariffs/deregulation to address deficits.
Key elements include:
• Permanence or extension of individual/corporate TCJA rates and features (e.g., bonus depreciation, R&D expensing adjustments, interest deduction rules, pass-through deduction).
• No tax on tips, overtime, and related relief; senior tax relief; expanded standard deduction/Child Tax Credit elements.
• “Trump Accounts” ($1,000 seed for children born 2025–2028, with contribution options).
• Estate/gift tax exemption increases; Opportunity Zone continuity/guidance; other business-friendly changes.
• Implementation via Treasury/IRS regulatory agenda (2026 focus on OBBBA rules, some deregulatory tax guidance). Estimated multi-trillion-dollar deficit impact over 10 years, partially offset by tariff revenue in administration projections.

Let me explain the technical problem for US/Canada/Mexico trade and why this trade dispute is so consequential.
NAFTA 2.0 essentially treats North America as one giant market. Not absolutely but lots of benefits afforded to counter parts inside not afforded to countries outside.
China recognizes the US has become much more restrictive on trade with China. So China says, I can still get the benefit of trade with the US by routing my trade through Mexico or Canada.
Oddly enough, the US is saying to Mexico and Canada, we want the assurance that when we buy a product that says Made in Mexico it is made in Mexico with as many non-Chinese parts as possible, by non-Chinese workers, and by non-Chinese firms. It's kind of amazing that Canada objects to that idea.
What is notable is that Mexico has actually cooperated with the United States on these trade issues. This is not to say they are perfect no country is, even the US is not, but Mexico has decided very clearly its interests are best served by blocking Chinese activities like trans-shipment. US-Mexican trade is booming.
Conversely, Canada is actively undermining US interests by signing deals with Beijing and rejecting American requests to block and take actions on things like trans-shipment, high risk imports, and money laundering just to name a few. You can rail against the US and Trump all you want but the basic requests are not burdensome or anything draconian.
If Canada really wants to align itself as the conduit for Beijing into the North American market, that is your sovereign right to pursue that course of action. It is also the US sovereign right to say we disagree with that and will not bind ourselves to your agreements with Communist China. Sorry not sorry
Because our CBC is purposed for turning Canadians against our utmost important security and economic ally on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, consider this a proper briefing about the trade violations that the Liberals and Uniparty Conservatives have committed against the world’s only Superpower and open multi-trillion dollar consumer market:
“The authority is Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. It permits additional duties of up to 50 per cent when another country discriminates against American commerce or favours competitors. The duties take effect 30 days after the proclamations, giving Canada time to end them.”
“The goal is a comparable burden until Ottawa lifts its burden on American producers. This is reciprocal trade enforcement, not economic aggression.”
SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
“Under Canada’s allocation rules for the USMCA cheese quota, retailers cannot receive allocations. Yet under Canada’s agreement with the European Union, retailers may participate in the comparable quota. European cheese therefore receives access denied to American cheese.
That is discrimination by nationality.”
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
“Beginning in March 2025, Canadian provinces and territories used their control over wholesale purchasing and retail distribution to remove American beer, wine, bourbon, whiskey, and other beverages from Canadian commerce.
Provincial governments control alcohol wholesaling and often retail. They stopped purchasing American products, canceled orders, erased them from catalogues and websites, and removed American bottles from government-controlled shelves.
Ontario’s liquor monopoly removed American alcohol from stores. Quebec ordered American products off shelves and stopped supplying stores, restaurants, and bars. Most Canadian jurisdictions continued buying from other foreign suppliers.
The damage was immediate. Comparing March 2025 through February 2026 with the previous year, Canadian imports of American alcoholic beverages fell 81 per cent — from roughly $718 million to $136 million. Imports from other countries increased by more than $170 million, including over $100 million from the European Union.”
AUTOMOBILES
“Since April 9, 2025, Canada has imposed a 25 per cent tariff on non-USMCA-compliant U.S.-made vehicles. Even qualifying vehicles are taxed on the value of components not originating in Canada or Mexico. No comparable tariff applies to vehicles from Japan, Korea, Germany, or other competitors.
Comparing April 2025 through March 2026 with the preceding year, U.S. vehicle exports to Canada fell approximately 22 per cent, from roughly $25.9 billion to $20.3 billion. Canadian imports from Mexico rose 23.6 per cent, while imports from Japan, Korea, and Germany also increased.
That is industrial discrimination: penalize the American vehicle, reward the foreign substitute, and use tariff relief to keep factories in Canada.”
FINAL WORDS OF WHITE HOUSE SENIOR COUNSELLOR FOR TRADE AND MANUFACTURING, PETER NAVARRO:
“Ottawa will argue that these actions retaliated against American tariffs. That misses the law and economics. American Section 232 auto tariffs operate under a national-security framework and credit American content. Canada’s system singles out U.S. commerce while treating competing foreign commerce more favorably.
Section 338 was written for such conduct.
Free trade cannot mean Canada is free to sell while America is forbidden to compete. Under President Trump, the era of one-way concessions is over.”

The only OPEN trillion-dollar consumer market on Earth is also the only Superpower on Earth.
The global tariffs rates(+50% for China, 10-20% for allies), combined with the US’ PERMANENT military control of every energy chokepoint(which specifically cuts off a major percentage of shadowfleet energy that bypassed USD), is exactly how the United States is ushering in the New World Order now that the Chinese Communist Party has destroyed the Atlantic Charter Global Order with its weaponized nonmarket-based economy of China.
Our exporters need to sell $400 BILLION in goods to the US this year, not in 2060 when there might be an alternative free-market economy to sell to…
@vtchakarova Reserve your judgement until Trump legally establishes +60% tariffs for chinese goods and 10-20% tariffs for allies.
The 301 investigations are currently being conducted.
Once established, the global markets will react accordingly and with haste…

If you do not have a variety of poison pill provisions to ensure that rare earth critical mineral supply generated by non-Chinese owned miners and refiners goes solely to non-Chinese companies or Chinese aligned companies you have merely funded China's extension of their stranglehold of the critical mineral rare earth sector.
I am well aware this is not the Cato level of free market economics still have no rebuttal on how to handle the Chinese state and analysis never actually wrestles with the reality of what it means to challenge China, but the reality is, poison pill provisions like this are absolutely needed unfortunately or you've just changed your weakness”
I am aware that the bar for quality analysis is exceedingly low but this seems to be digging new depths in ignoring reality. Let's take merely one complaint in this article the "gunboat deals" where the US forces trading partners to exclude other countries and export their minerals to the US rather to than their own industries. Stop and think for a minute why poison pill provisions? Anyone? Anyone?
China in rare earths and critical minerals has regularly engaged in tactics where they do things like buy entire companies just to control supply and shut down companies. They have set up companies to focus on cornering markets in this area. This isn't a theoretical example this has and actually takes place.
What would happen, and this is theoretical, if Volvo in Sweden started trying to buy all open market tungsten produced by non-Chinese sources? It's a private company. It's in Sweden. Sounds great right? Wrong it is clearly a Chinese company that acts at the direction of the Chinese state.

Canada and Mexico are violating the spirit—and potentially the letter—of USMCA by enabling China to penetrate North American supply chains and circumvent U.S. trade barriers. USMCA is a binding treaty, not a suggestion. Especially, its Rules of Origin and Labor Value Content provisions were designed precisely to prevent this kind of backdoor access.
Carney calls closer economic integration with China a matter of Canadian sovereignty. Sovereignty, however, does not mean freedom to ignore treaty obligations while exporting the consequences to American workers and industry. If Canada and Mexico want the benefits of USMCA, they must enforce its rules—and shut China’s back door into the U.S. market.
Carney choses economic suicide siding with China based on a vague promise of millions of customers that barely consume, while converting #Canada into a warehouse for cheap Chinese exports.
Insane.
"Efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals."
Once again, he's talking about China.
The US does not want Chinese spy tech passing through it's borders. Canada just sent a Chinese spy to NATO High Command. 50,000+ Chinese EV's in Canada and other spy tech is a massive national security concern for the US.
So yes, the US wants to restrict Canada's trade relationship with China because Canada is on their border and what arrives here naturally bleeds between nations.
I don't know what the American attempts to restrict Canada's "language and culture" actually were, but I would imagine it has something to do with the intelligence and information exchange in Canada's new "strategic partnership" with China.
The US is purging China domestically because they've correctly identified the poison. China is now arriving on their doorstep via Canada. The US wants that to end and are trying to use trade as a means of negotiating Canada off the ledge. Carney, the Liberal Party, the power brokers in Toronto and Montreal, and the web of CCP backed influence networks are determined to jump.
The US is trying to give us a choice between a net and a sledgehammer. Carney is intent on finding out what the sledgehammer can do.
I warned you all about the effort to destroy our movement.
They failed. Miserably.
Proud to stand with you in this fight against the demons. And thank you President Trump for standing up, while others stood down.
Yes, enemy Chinese Communist Party wumao bot.
Canadians are, by design, being intentionally misinformed by Facebook algorithms, politicians, legacy media, and academia on the purpose and need for Trump’s “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation” agenda in the post-WTO global trade order.
The World Trade Organization has been defunct ever since 2016 when China was denied its market-economy status.
With only 15 years of being granted access to the backrooms of all of our entities within the World Trade Organization system, the Chinese Communist Party effectively mass-mobilized its 1.2 billion military-civilian soldiers to leverage the weight of an entire nation against the most important individuals that sit at the helms of every top entity, and ultimately weaponized the constraints of the WTO system against all free-market economies with the militarized nonmarket-based economy of China.
This is why Trump pulled out of the CCP-conquered Global Liberal Order(WHO, WTO, UN, TPP) that the US was instrumental in establishing and maintaining for over 70 years, and has now rewritten the global rules of trade with his Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation agenda.
Anyone who opposes Trump’s civilization-saving agenda(10-20% tariffs for allies, 60% tariffs for China) unwittingly supports an old Free-Trade Global Order that the Chinese Communist Party has weaponized against free-market nations, which is leading to all of our nations being simultaneously raided and collapsed via our co-opted traitor politicians, elites, institutions, academia, media, and Big Tech.
Here’s the current status of Trump’s civilization-saving, “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation”, American agenda:

The Will of the US Navy to control the Strait of Hormuz, proves to Xi Jinping that the US is fully committed to projecting power globally to challenge Xi Jinping’s long-determined path to global conquest over every nation.
Once the Western Hemisphere is completely fortified with Monroe Doctrine objectives, from Alaska to Greenland, and all the way down to Panama Canal and below Argentina, and limits chinese influence to just Brazil, the US will be prudently positioned for 21st-Century Defensive Global Warfare against the Chinese Communist Party.

(CBC, the Liberals, and Facebook are determined to conceal these details from their targeted subjects)
“As of mid-August 2026 (second Trump administration), the agenda emphasizes protectionist tariffs for leverage/revenue/reindustrialization, major tax cuts via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and aggressive deregulation with a 10-to-1 rule (remove 10 regulations per new one). These form core pillars of the “America First” economic approach, often paired with bilateral “Agreements on Reciprocal Trade” (ARTs). Tariff revenues help offset OBBBA’s fiscal costs. Outcomes remain debated (e.g., trade deficit reduction claims vs. inflation/uncertainty effects), with ongoing court challenges.
Tariffs:
The administration has maintained elevated effective tariff rates (central estimates around 9–11% trade-weighted as of mid-2026, up sharply from ~2.5% pre-2025) through shifting legal authorities after setbacks.
• Early “Liberation Day” (April 2025) reciprocal/global tariffs (often under IEEPA, with rates up to 10–50%+ and higher on China/others) drove the average rate higher (peaking estimates near 13–16% in periods of 2025–early 2026) and supported negotiations.
• February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidated broad IEEPA-based tariffs. The administration immediately imposed a temporary 10% global surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (150-day limit).
• After Section 122 expired around late July 2026, it was largely replaced by Section 301 tariffs (10% or 12.5%, often net of MFN rates) on ~60 economies covering the vast majority (~99%) of U.S. imports, justified primarily on forced-labor enforcement failures. Additional Section 301 actions target excess capacity (involving the EU + ~15 countries, including China, India, Japan) and others (e.g., 25% on many Brazilian goods).
• Sectoral/national-security tariffs under Section 232 remain active or expanded (steel/aluminum/copper ~25–50%, autos/parts, pharmaceuticals up to high rates with phase-ins/exemptions for deal partners, polysilicon, etc.). Other tools include Section 338 (e.g., 50% on certain Canadian goods, effective ~mid-August 2026) and related measures.
• Parallel progress: Multiple ARTs/framework deals (e.g., with Argentina, Taiwan, EU elements, Japan, India, others) for market access, investment commitments, and alignment against China; USMCA review ongoing; claimed reductions in goods trade deficit (especially with China) and diversified imports. Revenue has been significant (hundreds of billions potentially over time) but subject to refunds from invalidated measures and legal challenges (including by states). Uncertainty persists as new investigations and adjustments continue.
Taxes:
The centerpiece is the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted around mid-2025 and described by the administration as the largest tax cut in history. It extends/makes permanent key 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions, adds new relief, and aims to boost investment/wages while using tariffs/deregulation to address deficits.
Key elements include:
• Permanence or extension of individual/corporate TCJA rates and features (e.g., bonus depreciation, R&D expensing adjustments, interest deduction rules, pass-through deduction).
• No tax on tips, overtime, and related relief; senior tax relief; expanded standard deduction/Child Tax Credit elements.
• “Trump Accounts” ($1,000 seed for children born 2025–2028, with contribution options).
• Estate/gift tax exemption increases; Opportunity Zone continuity/guidance; other business-friendly changes.
• Implementation via Treasury/IRS regulatory agenda (2026 focus on OBBBA rules, some deregulatory tax guidance). Estimated multi-trillion-dollar deficit impact over 10 years, partially offset by tariff revenue in administration projections.

Because our CBC is purposed for turning Canadians against our utmost important security and economic ally on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, consider this a proper briefing about the trade violations that the Liberals and Uniparty Conservatives have committed against the world’s only Superpower and open multi-trillion dollar consumer market:
“The authority is Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. It permits additional duties of up to 50 per cent when another country discriminates against American commerce or favours competitors. The duties take effect 30 days after the proclamations, giving Canada time to end them.”
“The goal is a comparable burden until Ottawa lifts its burden on American producers. This is reciprocal trade enforcement, not economic aggression.”
SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
“Under Canada’s allocation rules for the USMCA cheese quota, retailers cannot receive allocations. Yet under Canada’s agreement with the European Union, retailers may participate in the comparable quota. European cheese therefore receives access denied to American cheese.
That is discrimination by nationality.”
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
“Beginning in March 2025, Canadian provinces and territories used their control over wholesale purchasing and retail distribution to remove American beer, wine, bourbon, whiskey, and other beverages from Canadian commerce.
Provincial governments control alcohol wholesaling and often retail. They stopped purchasing American products, canceled orders, erased them from catalogues and websites, and removed American bottles from government-controlled shelves.
Ontario’s liquor monopoly removed American alcohol from stores. Quebec ordered American products off shelves and stopped supplying stores, restaurants, and bars. Most Canadian jurisdictions continued buying from other foreign suppliers.
The damage was immediate. Comparing March 2025 through February 2026 with the previous year, Canadian imports of American alcoholic beverages fell 81 per cent — from roughly $718 million to $136 million. Imports from other countries increased by more than $170 million, including over $100 million from the European Union.”
AUTOMOBILES
“Since April 9, 2025, Canada has imposed a 25 per cent tariff on non-USMCA-compliant U.S.-made vehicles. Even qualifying vehicles are taxed on the value of components not originating in Canada or Mexico. No comparable tariff applies to vehicles from Japan, Korea, Germany, or other competitors.
Comparing April 2025 through March 2026 with the preceding year, U.S. vehicle exports to Canada fell approximately 22 per cent, from roughly $25.9 billion to $20.3 billion. Canadian imports from Mexico rose 23.6 per cent, while imports from Japan, Korea, and Germany also increased.
That is industrial discrimination: penalize the American vehicle, reward the foreign substitute, and use tariff relief to keep factories in Canada.”
FINAL WORDS OF WHITE HOUSE SENIOR COUNSELLOR FOR TRADE AND MANUFACTURING, PETER NAVARRO:
“Ottawa will argue that these actions retaliated against American tariffs. That misses the law and economics. American Section 232 auto tariffs operate under a national-security framework and credit American content. Canada’s system singles out U.S. commerce while treating competing foreign commerce more favorably.
Section 338 was written for such conduct.
Free trade cannot mean Canada is free to sell while America is forbidden to compete. Under President Trump, the era of one-way concessions is over.”

Carney said one reason Canada walked away was an eleventh hour U.S. attempt to "restrict our ability to have other trade deals." This screenshot points to CUSMA 32.10 which applies specifically to FTAs with non-market countries. It was aimed at principally China and basically says Canada can pursue such a deal, but the U.S. and Mexico can terminate CUSMA if Canada ultimately enters one.
But Canada is currently trying to deepen trade relations with market economies such as India, ASEAN, Mercosur, not to mention the many FIPA negotiations underway with countries like the UAE and Argentina
India is probably the most important of these deals. If the American demand was that Canada cannot conclude or deepen trade agreements with India, ASEAN, Mercosur or other market economies without U.S. approval or consequences, that's substantially broader than Article 32.10, and that clearly is an affront to our sovereignty, and would truly make us a vassal state.
No, enemy Chinese Communist Party wumao bot.
Canadians are, by design, being intentionally misinformed by Facebook algorithms, politicians, legacy media, and academia on the purpose and need for Trump’s “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation” agenda in the post-WTO global trade order.
The World Trade Organization has been defunct ever since 2016 when China was denied its market-economy status.
With only 15 years of being granted access to the backrooms of all of our entities within the World Trade Organization system, the Chinese Communist Party effectively mass-mobilized its 1.2 billion military-civilian soldiers to leverage the weight of an entire nation against the most important individuals that sit at the helms of every top entity, and ultimately weaponized the constraints of the WTO system against all free-market economies with the militarized nonmarket-based economy of China.
This is why Trump pulled out of the CCP-conquered Global Liberal Order(WHO, WTO, UN, TPP) that the US was instrumental in establishing and maintaining for over 70 years, and has now rewritten the global rules of trade with his Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation agenda.
Anyone who opposes Trump’s civilization-saving agenda(10-20% tariffs for allies, 60% tariffs for China) unwittingly supports an old Free-Trade Global Order that the Chinese Communist Party has weaponized against free-market nations, which is leading to all of our nations being simultaneously raided and collapsed via our co-opted traitor politicians, elites, institutions, academia, media, and Big Tech.
Here’s the current status of Trump’s civilization-saving, “Tariffs, Taxes, and Deregulation”, American agenda:

The Will of the US Navy to control the Strait of Hormuz, proves to Xi Jinping that the US is fully committed to projecting power globally to challenge Xi Jinping’s long-determined path to global conquest over every nation.
Once the Western Hemisphere is completely fortified with Monroe Doctrine objectives, from Alaska to Greenland, and all the way down to Panama Canal and below Argentina, and limits chinese influence to just Brazil, the US will be prudently positioned for 21st-Century Defensive Global Warfare against the Chinese Communist Party.
