@KeeganMatheson They were much more exciting to watch when Vlad was on IL. Bring up the kids that have something to prove and at least we'll be able to watch some exciting games for the end of the season. Doubt it if they are making the WC.

The sheer number of lies from President Trump about Canada – growing again today – is remarkable. Just some fact checks from the last 18 months:
- Trump falsely said today that Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising,” though it is 6.4% (under the Canadian method that adds about a percentage point) and has been declining for three months
- Trump falsely said today that Canada does 95% of its business with the US, though 72% of Canadian exports went to the US last year
- Trump falsely said today that high Canadian agricultural tariffs have caused the entire US trade deficit with Canada, though that deficit is overwhelmingly caused by US imports of cheap Canadian crude and though something like 97% of US ag exports to Canada are tariff-free
- Trump has falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports
- Trump has falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes
- Trump has falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in WTO global rankings
- Trump has falsely said Canada essentially doesn't have a military, though its military has fought with the US in multiple wars and its force size ranks in the upper half of NATO
- Trump has falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they hadn’t changed since Trump’s first presidency
- Trump has falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close
- Trump has falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though it doesn't and though more than a dozen US banks were operating in Canada at the time he spoke
- Trump has falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though that is fiction
- Trump has falsely said then-outgoing PM Trudeau was using their trade battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau obviously wasn’t running

This is why the US-Canada trade negotiations collapsed.

The US wanted to have control over the trade deals Canada was making around the world.

Furthermore, they wanted to use Canada (Canada's resources) as a leverage for their own deal and diplomatic activities around the world.

All while still restricting and tariffing Canada's access to the US economy.

If this was the case as Mark Carney claims, I fully support walking away from these negotiations. It's completely ludicrous and irrational.

I put together the key moments he explains it.

Canada doesn’t need tariffs. It needs an export tax.

Here’s what the US actually cannot replace on short notice:

Potash. Canada supplies 85-88% of what American farmers put on their fields. Russia, the next largest source, covers maybe 9% of that gap. Squeeze this and it’s not a trade story, it’s a farm input cost story, felt at the grocery store within a season.

Uranium. Canada supplied 33% of the uranium that fueled US reactors in 2024, more than any other country on earth. The US is trying to expand nuclear right now to keep up with AI power demand. There is no faster way to sabotage that plan than choking the fuel supply.

Crude oil. Canada is over 60% of US crude oil imports, up from 41% a decade ago. Midwest refineries are built specifically to run heavy Canadian crude. You don’t just redirect that to Saudi light sweet overnight. Gas prices would feel it fast.

Nickel. Canada provides roughly half of US nickel needs. America has exactly one operating nickel mine. One.

Softwood lumber. About 74% of US softwood lumber imports are Canadian. Homebuilders are already choking on tariffs pushing housing costs up. Cut the supply and you make the affordability crisis worse, guaranteed.

Electricity. Ontario and Quebec feed power straight into the US grid. Border states don’t have a backup plan for that capacity sitting in a drawer somewhere.

None of this is about hurting Americans for spite. It’s about pointing out that the “just tariff Canada” strategy assumes Canada has no leverage. That’s false. These are inputs the US cannot substitute in months, some of them not for years. An export tax on any of these turns the pain asymmetric fast, and Washington knows it, which is exactly why potash and uranium got added to the US critical minerals list once this became obvious.

Trade wars run on the assumption the other side has no cards. Canada has cards. It’s just never been willing to actually play them.

There is no Canadian legislation banning US Alcohol.

Rather, Provinces who run the sales of alcohol have chosen to NOT stock and sell US Alcohol because their customers want this limitation.

It's a free market choice made in response to US economic hostilities against Canada.

A 🧵

Unpacking U.S. spin on trade.

The U.S. is the aggressor in this trade war, expecting Canada to roll over and keep taking the hits. Capitulate to their demands/extortion.

Yet, the U.S. is trying to paint Canada as the aggressor.

I know, gaslighting. /1

@SophieShipton_ They had some tough times early last year too. In fact, weren't consistently above 500 until third week in May. All these guys are good and they know what it takes to win. Need to have faith.
