Russia Hoaxers Quiet About Canadian Election Interference
Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker,
As President Trump has repeatedly pointed out, the Canadian government embraces a peculiar notion of national sovereignty: It depends upon the U.S. military for security and expects to sell its domestic products to Americans as if Canada were just another U.S. state. At the same time, it insists on censoring American sources of news, restricting the flow of American goods into Canada, and rebuking American foreign policy decisions.
When former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President Trump following his 2024 re-election, the Canadian leader's foremost concern was to prevent the new Trump administration from seeking fair and reciprocal trade (actual free trade) between the two countries - a goal that the president and his economic team had pursued during Trump's first term and which ultimately resulted in the replacement of the North American Free Trade Agreeme...

Oh, Canada?
Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Clusterfuck Nation,
"Carney increasingly reminds me of Fauci. He has that exact same air of technocratic infallibility. . . ."
- Hans Mahncke on X
You go for decades without even thinking of the place. The Great White North. Very polite people, somewhat Scottish, seems like. There's poutine! Une invention Québécoise - an indigestible mélange of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds, like something you'd cook up at 4am after a toga party in a frat house. Ice hockey (of course, but was it necessary?) Polar bears. Puffins on the Labrador cliffs. Tar Sands. Plaid upholstery...
Years ago, we used to go up there from college in the farthest reaches of upstate western New York just to get a half-fake buzz of being in "a foreign country." Niagara Falls was like Times Square without the charm. Bunch of squalid wax museums and ashtray shoppes. Toronto was Rochester on steroids, beyond forgettable.
I once took a choo-choo train fr...

|
|
|
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday took aim at Prime Minister Mark Carney, claiming the Canadian leader “chose to walk away” from a trade deal. “And then he started this. And it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's best for the Canadian people. He's doing best, what is best for the Liberal Party, what's best......

As Canada tariff talks collapse, who′s calling the shots in Trump′s trade team? (The Guardian)
|
|
|
US trade representative Jamieson Greer has a level-headed reputation but commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and White House adviser Peter Navarro also have key rolesHaving reportedly read Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, in French, during a military tour of duty in Iraq, Jamieson Greer considered himself an unlikely target for accusations of francophobia.But Donald Trump's US trade representative, hitherto one of the president's less high-profile cabinet members, found himself in that uncomfortable position amid the acrimonious collapse of bilateral trade talks with Canada that now threatens to degenerate into an all-out trade war between the two close trading partners whose economies are tightly intertwined.

Canadian Leftists Want To Use Great Lakes Seaway As A Weapon Against The US
If anyone had any doubt that Canada is a predominantly far-left country, one only need look at polls in support of Market Carney's trade war rhetoric against the US. Over 70% of the Canadian population is currently in support of Carney's decision to dismiss trade negotiations with the Trump Administration.
Much of the rhetoric online repeats leftist talking points, including the claim that America is now a "fascist" state and cutting a deal with Trump would be the same as "cutting a deal with the Third Reich".
Keep in mind, Carney was so close to a deal with the US that Trump had paused new tariffs and Carney asked premiers to put American liquor back on provincial shelves. The was two days before he abruptly backed out and abandoned any future talks. Why? Theories abound.
The most prominent theory being that Carney has been talking with US Democrats and was convinced to avoi...
