I’m supposed to perform the obligatory little ritual now and pretend both versions of this trade debacle deserve equal credibility. I don’t... I believe the Americans. Not because they’re American. Not because politicians suddenly became trustworthy. And certainly not because Donald Trump has been canonized. I believe them because the American account increasingly makes more sense. Greer, Lutnick and Bessent have spoken openly and specifically about what happened. Their accounts have been remarkably consistent. They can discuss the negotiations like people who were actually involved in them, without appearing terrified that an unsupervised adjective might escape and without a teleprompter. Meanwhile, what do Canadians get from our own government? Carefully sterilized language. Vague explanations. Missing specifics. Scripted talking points. Every sentence apparently passed through enough communications people and lawyers to remove any detectable trace of information. We’re being kept in the dark like bloody mushrooms while learning more about Canada’s own trade negotiations from American officials and American media than from the Canadian government supposedly representing us. And somehow we’re not supposed to notice how politically convenient the Canadian version is. We got: 👉🏻 Trump was unreasonable. 👉🏻 Trump changed the deal. 👉🏻 Trump threatened our sovereignty. 👉🏻 Trump forced Canada to walk away. Trump. Trump. Trump. Just keep Canadians sufficiently pissed off at Donald Trump and perhaps nobody asks the considerably more inconvenient question: ❓️ What exactly did Mark Carney walk away from, and why? Because after the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco, I’m fresh out of complimentary benefit of the doubt. And here’s the part that absolutely reeks, discrediting any appearance of truth told by the liar in chief #MarkCarney... If Carney possesses documentary evidence proving Trump suddenly dumped outrageous, unacceptable demands onto Canada at the eleventh hour, where the hell is it? Seriously. Think about what that evidence would be worth politically. IF Carney had a piece of paper proving Donald Trump screwed Canada, blindsided our negotiators and forced our heroic prime minister to stand up, pound the table and walk away, the Liberal machine wouldn’t quietly tuck that document into a filing cabinet. Are you kidding me? ▪︎ They’d wallpaper Ottawa with the damn thing. ▪︎ They’d hold press conferences about it. ▪︎ They’d wave it around in Parliament. ▪︎ They’d quote it in fundraising emails. ▪︎ They’d buy ads with it. Every friendly pundit in the country would have a laminated copy by breakfast. CBC would probably commission a twelve-part documentary and an interpretive dance. It would be political rocket fuel. Carney could point directly at the evidence and say, See? I stood up to Trump. And considering how desperately this government wants Canadians angry at Trump, they would squeeze every last political drop out of it. Instead, we get: - Words. - Trust us. - Trump did it. - Don't worry about the details. - Just keep your elbows up and direct your anger toward the orange man south of the border. How extraordinarily convenient. And while Canada spends years shrieking about foreign interference, demanding security clearances for opposition leaders and warning us about other countries trying to influence Canadian politics, Canadian politicians seem remarkably comfortable inserting themselves into American partisan politics. Apparently foreign political influence is a mortal threat to democracy when it crosses the border heading north. Heading south? Nothing to see here, carry on. So enough of the carefully packaged Liberal bullshit. Release the negotiating documents. • Show Canadians the American demands. • Show us Canada's demands. • Show us what changed. • Show us when it changed. • Show us exactly what was sitting on that table when Canada walked away. Because if those documents prove Carney's story, his government has every political incentive imaginable to release them, and its quite odd that they haven't. Their continued absence doesn't prove he's lying, but it sure does suggest it! And considering the Americans are providing details while our own government feeds us verbal oatmeal, it sure as hell gives Canadians a reason to stop swallowing everything we're spoon-fed. Mark Carney isn't an oracle. He isn't our father. And Canadians aren't intellectually deficient children who need the PMO to decide which facts we're mature enough to see. Stop telling us whom to hate. Show us what happened. Then we'll decide for ourselves who is full of shit. #cdnpoli

Let me get this straight. The U.S. Commerce Secretary says Carney’s liberals deliberately walked away from a trade deal for political gain and to stop sovereignty movements in Alberta & Quebec. Economic damage for Canadians, all to protect Ottawa’s political control. Insanity.

BREAKING: The truth comes out. The US Secretary of Commerce just announced details of the last minute negotiations. “[CANADA] CAME AT 4PM ON A FRIDAY” with last minute requests. He stated that the Liberals “manufactured” a “lie” to Canadians. And that the Liberals did it purely for political purposes due to the Alberta referendum coming up and the by-elections. INSANE

When I heard this, I immediately knew Carney was lying. Carney tried to force French onto Americans. You cannot force Americans to do anything. He wanted platforms like Netflix to carry more French programming, and US manufacturers to add French labeling. In other words, interfere in a free market. If Netflix wants to have more French programming because the market is there, they will. Currently French labeling is done by the Canadian importers. It's a cost that's already imposed on them by Ottawa, even if the products are not destined for Quebec. It's my opinion that Carney used Quebec as a torpedo to scuttle the deal on purpose, then spun the narrative to pit Quebec against Trump.
