I never knew Canada was ranked 38th out of 38 OECD members in terms of projected GDP growth.

It took the American media to inform me of that.

Meanwhile in Canada that devastating fact is never mentioned by our MSM.

[Colin Campbell @ColinCa92604304]

Everyone knows that. (Liberals just don’t admit it in public)
But that doesn’t change the immediate issue and Harper fully supports Carney’s position.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

Stephen Harper just said it clean.

The difficulties Canada faces cannot be blamed on Donald Trump.

In too many cases they stem from bad decisions by our own government.

That’s the whole file.

You can spend the next year blaming the Americans and making excuses for the last decade of failure.

Or you can finally admit the rot started at home.

Competitiveness.
Productivity.
Capital flight.
Housing.
Energy.
Trade readiness.

None of that was invented in Washington last month.

Harper’s point is simple.
This moment either becomes another round of excuses or the moment Canada stops making them.

One path leads to more managed decline.

The other leads to a country that can actually stand on its own feet.

Choose!

@NotaliaMateo Not very easily. Much easier to bamboozle than it is to convince people they’ve been bamboozled

@drstaceybutters I wish you would’ve had another 1% support to leave in 1995.

HOLY S*{T

U.S. Officials say the DEAL exploded because Mark Carney needs to win Bi-Election in Canada 🇨🇦

[Vlad @VladTheInflator]

The goal was to villainize strong white men then keep them from getting jobs via affirmative action

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

This is clearly now for Mark Carney from former Ottawa defence bureaucrat that is suing Canada for dismissal: “Middle powers that don’t yet understand this shift imagine themselves more powerful than they are and mistakenly think that they can band together to rival the great powers. Geopolitical reality says otherwise, and Washington is unimpressed. Elbridge Colby, the US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, took aim at this fantasy in July. The Department of Defense, he wrote on X, was ‘not concerned that this is a serious possibility’. Its worry is that allies will think it is and ‘waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction.’
All middle powers are facing the same new reality. What differs is how they are responding. Canada, often compared to Australia, is pursuing a strategy that includes deepening its partnership with China, a choice that sits in direct tension with the imperative of staying anchored inside the US orbit as a valued ally. Given Canada’s deep interconnectedness with the US, its China embrace has provoked Washington into taking a harder line in its bilateral dealings with Ottawa. Canada’s play – implying it will cosy up to China to hedge against the US – is a strategic own-goal.”

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

USTR Jamieson Greer tells the NYT Canada walked away from what he describes as the most preferential U.S. trade treatment in the world.

According to Greer, the offer included:

• Auto tariffs as low as 7%
• Lower steel and aluminum tariffs
• Elimination of the 10% lumber tariff

And now Canada faces a widening trade war.

The NYT says Carney’s office declined to comment.

If Greer’s account is wrong, Ottawa should correct the record.

If it’s right, Canadians deserve to know why Carney walked away.

Release the deal.

Might be the greatest video of all time:

"You're saying people like yourself arrived to save White people with diversity. No. We built a country your ancestors could not. That's why people like you come here."

Do you agree with him? 🇺🇸

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

The average Canadian has never looked at a map of their own country.

Line 9, which supplies nearly all of Ontario and Quebec with their oil, runs through the United States before re-entering Canada through Southern Ontario.

Years ago, the Canadians had an opportunity to build a new pipeline named Energy East that would have supplied Eastern Canada and the Maritimes with Albertan oil without entering the US.

The Liberals killed the project.

Shutting off Canadian energy to America means shutting off energy to Ontario and Quebec too.

So congratulations on destroying your own country and ruining whatever leverage you had. I'm sure it made you all feel morally superior at the time though, so maybe it was worth it.

Fun fact: in 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸, ~80% of grain-based foods have glyphosate.

It’s largely considered safe due to a study in 2000 that found it caused no DNA damage, reproductive harm or cancer.

It was recently retracted. Turns out it was ghostwritten by Monsanto.

NEW

The Podolski Honey Farms of Ethelbert, Manitoba, founded in 1954

has been made insolvent in the first week of tariffs.

"Effectively, we're out of business, we are collateral damage."

This is the human cost. These stories will become normal.
