Remember when AFD MEP Christine Anderson called out Justin Trudeau for his wicked ways?

And all it cost was probably $10 Million in marketing contracts, consultations, focus groups, and environmental impact assessments.

Toronto changed Dundas Square to “Sankofa square”, Covered the statue of Canada’s fist Prime Minister Sir. John A MacDonald, Ottawa changed Sir John A street to “Kichi Zībī Mīkan”… Canada can’t complain about “Lake America”...

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.

Imagine for 1/2 a second if Canada's media was even close to this

[The Green Bastard @HeftyDigs]

@IfindRetards Between Mark Carney and Doug Ford, it’s hard to choose.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Carney got a CEO of Air Canada fired because he didn’t apologize in French.

But he’s cool with CBC saying that 9/11 wasn’t a terrorist attack.

Insanity

Any agency in Canada that doesn’t publicly reject this bastardization of history, and an insult to the souls lost during our largest terrorist attack in US history will no longer have friend in this FBI… Not to mention our heroes that responded in the aftermath 🇺🇸

WE WILL NEVER FORGET 9-11

Canada has some of the dumbest people on earth running things.. it’s legitimately horrific.. the most woke people trying to justify their own sovereignty while acknowledging the land they’re on does not belong to them… forcing tax payers to pay for their trade war.. it’s gross..

[Mortimer @mortimer_1]

If we are going to be putting Canadians first, every federal tax dollar should only go to benefit Canadians immediately.

This should mean an immediate stop to any tax payer dollar that goes to fund initiates outside of Canada that doesn’t directly benefit Canadians
