Respectfully, I disagree—strongly.
Visited seven countries over the past 12 months. Mainstream media may convince you that Canada’s diplomatic influence remains strong, but that’s not what I’ve observed. What Canada has lost in influence, credibility and access, Mexico has gained.
Frankly, it’s been embarrassing.
“There are at least 5,000 Chinese spies in Taiwan.”
This is what the head of Taiwan’s National Security Bureau told the UN just a year or two ago.
But the problem is not just in Taiwan.
Guermantes Lailari told me that CCP spies are “being caught all the time” right here in the US.
And the CCP’s “united front” strategy to “co-opt” opposing politicians and businessmen around the world has been more successful than you think.
“We’ve seen it in the United States.”
“We’ve seen it in Canada.”
“And in Taiwan, they’ve been doing it since the beginning.”
Brian Lilley nails it here.. the politicians holding back our negotiations are those pleasing their base of voters with TDS. Destroying our country for polling popularity.
CNN - 🇨🇦 has unfairly singled out autos, dairy & alcohol for unfair trade practices.
"Unlike some of the tariffs last year that the courts invalided, correctly, this particular tariff is a legal tariff...it is true that 🇨🇦 is discriminating against 🇺🇸 products." On CNN.
😮Prediction is that Carney will back down.
You all helped me get my service dog. She gave me independence I lost after becoming paralyzed.
Now she has a tumour in her mouth that needs surgery.
Estimate is up to $3,000.
I can’t lose her.
If you’ve ever supported me before, I’m asking again. Please help me save the dog who helps me survive.

Even a repost could save her life.
NOW: Donald Trump claims Canada needs the United States to survive
Trump: "Canada's been very, very tough on us over the years, for many years, and no other president's done anything about it.
I love Canada.
I love the people of Canada.
Many friends that live in Canada, but their leadership, from Trudeau to the current leadership—I mean, in all fairness to them, they need us to survive. Without us, there's no way they can survive. So, but they've been very, very tough over a period of the last 50 years, actually."
Canada’s PM @MarkJCarney hit with 50% tariffs on the same day he claims he doesn’t know why the Chinese Communist Party adores him.
Carney might feign confusion, but the USA knows why the CCP loves Carney.
Trump just imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.
Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act.
The highest rate the President can impose under that authority.
Effective in 30 days.
The three areas:
- Autos
- Alcohol
- Dairy
The White House calls out Doug Ford, “Canadian discrimination against the commerce of the United States,” targeting his provincial ban on American alcohol.
Ford himself, five months ago: “It’s obviously working, it’s an irritant.”
Yesterday it stopped being an irritant.
It became a 50% tariff on Canadian wine, beer, and spirits.
Meanwhile, Carney has held ZERO formal trade rounds with the US in the last 3 months.
The US confirmed yesterday that there are “no currently formal negotiations.”
The USMCA is being exited.
The Chinese are tariffing our farmers.
The UAE cancelled its investment.
Korea withdrew $3.1 billion.
And now the Americans are taxing our exports at 50%.
Ford poked the bear & ruined initial talks.
Carney refuses to negotiate.
Now Canadians pay for the incompetence of both.
100% facts by @KatlynHarrison
Howard Lutnick threw Carney under the bus & exposed his lie to Canadians.
Then sat behind him at the World Cup.
Then Trump hits Canada with 50% tariffs.
ALL OF THIS UNDER 36 HOURS.
This is a massive failure.
No logic can reconcile this as anything but.
Mexico has avoided ALL OF THIS HUMILIATION & engaged in meaningful discussions with America.
Carney has undoubtedly failed Canada.
"With more tariffs hitting Canada, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is no trade war to win. “Elbows up” won’t work. You cannot outmuscle a country that represents roughly a quarter of the global economy. You need to work with it—even if you despise its leader. Mexico chose engagement and is now in a better position because of it.
As for Canada, we chose pain."
Carney’s record in the last few weeks:
❌ Tells UAE he doesn’t have anything to invest their $70 billion in.
❌ So embarrassed about his Gordie Howe bridge deal he won’t come clean on the details.
Anyone else starting to get the feeling he overhyped his abilities?
Last week, PM Carney told Canadians that, on CUSMA...
“I’ll keep you posted.”
Well, consider us posted: new tariffs on alcohol and dairy. Quite the update.
Yeah… that works so well. Honestly, Doug… this isn’t how to negotiate a deal and anyone who has negotiated a deal can see that. You go into an important negotiation knowing your strengths and weaknesses. If the other party is more powerful and has more wealth… it’s your job to explore every option you can dream up that gets most of what you want while still getting them to say yes… and you can also come up with great solutions where you get more than you want… but you show up. You go into all the meetings and ask lots of questions. Those answers help with more options. You keep the communication flowing. You preserve the relationship. Whatever is going on with Canada and trade negotiations- looks nothing like that. More tariffs? How about address the issues?
🚨 Ford’s deadly 401 speed gamble
While big rigs continue to kill and injure Ontarians, Premier Ford is increasing speed limits along major highways.
On July 11, 2026, a clear afternoon on the eastbound 401 near Townline Road in Cambridge turned deadly. Nine vehicles collided in a massive pile-up. A 44-year-old man from Kitchener was airlifted but ultimately succumbed to his injuries, and fifteen others were injured. All eastbound lanes were closed for ten hours.
A transport truck driver was arrested for dangerous driving and later released pending investigation.
More and more, this is no longer an isolated tragedy on North America’s largest – and Ontario’s busiest – highway. While transport trucks make up roughly 3% of vehicles on the road, they are involved in 12% of fatal crashes.
At least that’s what Auditor General Shelley Spence said in her May report, which detailed just how dangerous and inadequate commercial truck driver training has become in the province.
The report detailed how private career colleges were skipping required hours, cutting programs from the mandated 103.5 hours down to as little as 59 or 81, in some cases. Students were not taught basic emergency stops or left turns at major intersections. Unregistered schools are issuing certificates, and dozens of colleges operate entirely uninspected.
The 2017 Entry Level Training standard has largely collapsed under this weak government oversight.
While the Ford government accepted every one of the AG’s recommendations, real enforcement has been notably absent.
Adding insult to injury, just days before the Cambridge crash, the Globe and Mail reported that nearly 100 trucking companies with serious safety violations and failed audits, and Ottawa had approved wage theft orders to hire temporary foreign workers. Of those, several Ontario firms with conditional safety ratings continued operating with these approvals.
Many companies use “Driver Inc.” models that misclassify drivers as independent contractors. This allows them to dodge proper wages, overtime, and hours-of-service rules. The result is financial pressure that encourages cost-cutting and incentivizes drivers to stay on the road, even when they should be taking a break.
The Ontario Trucking Association has been calling on the government to do something about this for years. Stronger enforcement measures include “tightening oversight of immigration, revamping licensing and audit processes, and introducing changes to the way truck inspection stations operate,” they wrote in October last year.
Meanwhile, the Ford government is busy raising speed limits across long stretches of the 401 and other highways. Passenger cars can now travel faster while heavy trucks are supposed to remain electronically governed at 105 km/h.
Yet given the documented failures in training, inspections, and company oversight, many drivers rightly question whether those limiters are properly installed, set correctly, or enforced at all.
Premier @FordNation and Transportation Minister @PrabSarkaria cannot have it both ways. Families heading to cottage country and commuters on the 401 should not have to play Russian roulette every time they merge onto the highway.
You cannot flood the roads with drivers produced by a broken training system and questionable hiring practices, then raise speeds and act surprised when the body count rises.
The scope and risks of this system require immediate action: full audits of every truck driving school, aggressive 24/7 enforcement on speed limiters and illegal operations, an end to rubber-stamping temporary foreign worker approvals for companies with safety violations, and prioritizing safety over speed increases until the system is fixed.

If what Howard Lutnick is saying is true, Mark Carney lied to Canadians. It also explains why Carney is keeping the details of the agreement hidden.
Why do Canadians need to hear the truth from Bloomberg and Trump’s Secretary of Commerce?
Why isn’t the Canadian news media all over this? The lies, contradictions and misinformation, coming directly from Canada’s PM, should be the #1 story in Canada and news journalists should be pressing Carney hard.
Canada is supposed to be a full parliamentary democracy, but under Mark Carney, Canada is being run a an authoritarian regime with full support of the Canadian news media they subsidize.
The new liberal plan to combat Poilievre's popularity is to spead rumors about discord inside the party. As a party member I see no discord. Just another smear job. Can't win elections on policy instead they turn to dirty tactics.
Liberals should look inside their own house! 5 prominent cabinet ministers have resigned from the party since Carney took over. Not just leave the cabinet but resign from politics all together! Want nothing to do with this new leader! Even our high profile US ambassador resigned, had enough of Carney's games. Even the governor general walked away under Carney. With so many resignations you should wonder what's happening inside the liberal party!!
