Did Canada Just Sign Its Own Economic Death Warrant?
Canadian Prime Minister and WEF globalist Mark Carney has been a disaster for Canada since he entered office. There were many critics who believed the Trudeau regime could not be topped in terms of self destructive behavior, but one could easily argue that Carney is far more dangerous and far more devious.
This week the Canadian government abandoned a nearly finalized trade deal with the US in the final hour of talks, leaving many analysts (and Canadians) bewildered. According to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and related reports on the negotiations, the U.S. offered significant tariff reductions that would have given Canada preferential treatment relative to other major exporters.
The offer included a reduction of tariffs on steel from 50% to 25%, a reduction on Canadian autos from 25% to 15%, a removal of the 10% tariff on Canadian lumber and cooperation on numerous other measures, representing the best deal offered in c...

Freeland warns hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that Trump's approach risks turning allies into “vassals” as Canada prepares dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs after the US imposed new 50% duties.

Can Canada Still Trust America on Trade? (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Chrystia Freeland says a tentative US-Canada trade agreement may prevent new US tariffs from taking effect, but only if Canada makes major concessions including easing retaliation, allowing US alcohol back into provincial stores and aligning with Washington on some digital issues. Existing US tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, cars and auto parts would remain, though at lower levels. Freeland says that would mark a major shift from Canada's long-held position that such tariffs violate USMCA, and could hurt both countries, especially US manufacturing and the Detroit-Windsor auto supply chain. This interview was recorded on Aug. 20. (Source: Bloomberg)...
