The Laurentian media is coordinating with the Liberals to pretend like somehow Pierre was illegitimately elected as opposition leader by India. How many people in the room did India force to vote for Pierre? Raise your hand 😂
Canada may not be for sale, but Canadian companies might be.
Retaliatory tariffs will destroy the Canadian dollar and allow US investors to swoop in and purchase Canadian companies for pennies. These conversations are already happening.

Common sense Conservatives strongly condemn President Trump’s latest unjust tariffs targeting Canadian steel and aluminum workers and manufacturers. These tariffs cannot in any way be justified and are yet another betrayal by the President of the long friendship between Canada and the United States.
I am calling on the government to immediately bring in retaliatory tariffs to respond to this unjust act and to protect Canadian steel and aluminum workers. If President Trump is applying 50 percent tariffs on our steel and aluminum then Canada must hit back with 50 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imported from the United States.
Our message to the US administration must be clear, do not mistake our kindness for weakness, we are a strong, proud and sovereign country and we will fight back against these attacks against our economy and our workers. And if the President applies further tariffs as he has threatened, we will hit back on those as well, we will not falter in defence of our country and these attacks will only harden our resolve.
I am also calling on the Liberal government to further defend our steel and aluminum workers, listen to the leaders in our industry and take additional action to combat illegal dumping and unfair trade practices by China.
Finally, I am calling on Mark Carney to reverse his plan to impose a massive new industrial carbon tax on Canadian steel and all other heavy industry. Carney’s carbon tax and Trump’s tariffs would decimate our industry forever.
Only Canada First Conservatives will axe the taxes, green-light pipelines made with Canadian steel and bring home production and paycheques.
Carney-Trudeau Liberals have imposed taxes and blocked projects making us more reliant on the Americans, while Carney profited by shipping jobs out of Canada to the U.S. He sold out Canada already and will do it again.
We need a Conservative government that will put Canada First.
BREAKING: Sources suggest a federal election may be called in Canada on Monday, with new Liberal leader Mark Carney facing off against Pierre Poilievre.
With Marco Mendocino as Chief of Staff, this hints at an exit for Trudeau-era team, led by Katie Telford.
Canadian counter-tariffs on imported materials and components would add to cost increases from US import tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and Canadian dollar depreciation. A 25% US import tariff could raise industrial input costs from the US by over 35%, tripling the overall cost of manufacturing inputs compared to current pre-tax profits for the sector. Higher production costs would be passed to customers, with US residents paying nearly 70% more for Canadian manufactured imports.
Counter-tariffs would also stop many US manufacturing sales to Canada, freeing US capacity, reducing inflationary effects of US tariffs, and fostering a self-contained US manufacturing economy, harming Canadian manufacturers.
A reminder that former Canadian CSIS Intelligence Officer, Michael Juneau-Katsuya, testified:
"We can prove that every government from Mr. Mulroney to Mr. Trudeau has been compromised by the agents of Communist China".
Never forget!
Our establishment politicians ALL pander to Canadians of Ukrainian descent, and support sending more weapons to Ukraine and pointlessly prolonging that war.
They are moral degenerates willing to cause the loss of thousands more lives if it means a few more votes.
"Alright, folks, hold onto yer toques, ‘cause I’m HEATED!
I’m sittin’ there, watchin’ Hockey Night in Canada—best show on the planet, and these clowns in the stands, these so-called ‘Canadians,’ they’re BOOIN’ the Star-Spangled Banner! The U.S. ANTHEM! ‘Sweet land of liberty,’ and these yahoos are out there howlin’ like a pack of coyotes! I says to myself, ‘Donny, what in the Sam Hill is goin’ on up here?’ Back in my day, you respected the anthem—ours AND theirs! You stood up, hat off, and you SHUT YER YAP while them Yanks sang about their rockets and their bombs! It’s called CLASS, eh!
But nooo, not these jokers! And get this—these same bums booin’ the States, they ain’t even wearin’ a poppy! That little red badge of honor for the boys who fought, who bled, who gave us the right to sit here with a Molson and enjoy the game! My grandpappy wore a poppy, I wear a poppy—heck, I’d tattoo one on my keister if it’d wake these kids up! But nah, they’re too busy whinin’ and jeerin’ to give a hoot!
Now, here’s the kicker—these sudden patriots, these anthem-booers, they’re all SOCIALISTS!
Oh yeah, you heard me! They’re out there wavin’ the Maple Leaf like they’re Paul Henderson in ’72, but then they turn around and say, ‘Oh, let’s tax the bejeezus outta everything and give it all away!’ Gimme a break! They’re sittin’ there in their government-funded knit sweaters, sippin’ their free healthcare lattes, and booin’ the U.S.A.—the toughest, grittiest, most freedom-lovin’ nation on God’s green earth! These pinko phonies wouldn’t know patriotism if it slapped ‘em with a hockey stick!
But listen up, ‘cause Canada’s got a chance—a big ol’ chance—to show the world we ain’t just a bunch of commie crybabies! We can step up on the political stage, puff out our chests, and say, ‘We’re CANADA, eh—home of the slapshot, the lumberjack, and the double-double!’ None of this Trudeau nonsense—oh, don’t get me started on that pretty boy! Mr. Fancy Hair struttin’ around like he’s in a cologne ad—‘Oh, I’m Justin, I love socialism and selfies!’ Take a hike, pal—go hug a windmill or somethin’! Nah, we’re gonna ditch that baloney and show the Yanks we got guts!
And speakin’ of the Yanks—God bless ‘em! Them Americans, they’re down there with their bald eagles and their monster trucks, watchin’ us with one eyebrow raised, sayin’, ‘Canada, what’s yer deal, eh?’ They’re tough as nails, they love their flag, and they don’t mess around! I salute ‘em—heck, I’d wear stars and stripes socks if they didn’t clash with my tie! They’re the real deal, and we gotta match ‘em, not boo ‘em!
So here’s the plan, folks—stop booin’ the Star-Spangled Banner, pin that poppy on yer coat, and let’s kick this socialist nonsense to the curb! Canada’s gonna rise up like a moose on a mission, and we’re gonna make the world proud—proud of us, proud of the U.S.A., and proud to drop the puck! Let’s go, eh!" 👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
JUST IN: RBC Economics anticipates 3-4% contraction of Canada's GDP below baseline projections.
Tariffs are expected to have the highest impact on key sectors such as energy, automotive, and metals.
The list of retaliatory tariffs is pretty well focused on consumer goods, food and bev, clothing, appliances, furniture etc - there are alternatives for most of these.
Going to be a lot more expensive to shop at Costco and Walmart though.
One positive is that they've excluded materials and components for Canadian industry.
