Michael Taube: Carney underplays U.S. cancellation of 86-year defence partnership with Canada

Michael Taube: Carney underplays U.S. cancellation of 86-year defence partnership with Canada

Canada-U.S. relations have reached the lowest point in our collective lifetime. Frustrations with U.S. President Donald Trump and tariffs largely changed the course of last year’s federal election. There’s been a staggering rise in Canadian nationalism and anti-American sentiments in the Great White North. Unfounded fears about annexation ran wild for a spell. Cross-border business and tourism, retail and supply chain issues have been affected, too.

Trump threatens not to renew trade deal with Canada, Mexico

Trump threatens not to renew trade deal with Canada, Mexico

U.S. President Donald Trump is once again dangling the threat of withdrawing from his country’s free trade deal with Canada and Mexico, even though his trade officials are in talks on renewing it.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said he is “not looking to renew” the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) when it comes up for a review on July 1, six years after it took effect.

While the agreement doesn’t actually expire until 2036, any country can withdraw from it by giving six months’ notice.

Toronto’s weakness helps explains Canada’s dismal economic story

Toronto’s weakness helps explains Canada’s dismal economic story

As the Canadian economy continues to sputter, continuing a trend of weak economic growth for nearly two decades, Toronto is a big part of the story. In fact, given Toronto’s size and economic weight, its performance is central to understanding Canada’s economic malaise.

It’s hard to overstate how important Toronto (technically, the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area) is to the Canadian economy. Toronto represents nearly one-fifth of the country’s population and economy. For context, Toronto’s share of Canada’s population is about the same as the combined share for California and New York in the United States.

Only 1 in 10 Europeans see US as an ally — study

Only 1 in 10 Europeans see US as an ally — study

Only 11% of Europeans consider the United States to be an ally, a historic low, according to a survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) released on Wednesday.

Six months ago, 16% of people across 15 countries in Europe said they viewed the US as an ally, while in November 2024, when Donald Trump won the US presidential election, the figure stood at 22%.

The ECFR poll shows Europeans “embrace self-reliance and are clear-eyed about Donald Trump,” although they don’t expect the relationship to collapse entirely under the weight of the current challenges.

A majority of respondents said they did not think the US would come to Europe’s defense if it were attacked.


The Eurotrash pictured above have been unable and or unwilling to secure Europe’s borders against an ongoing mass illegal alien invasion.

France has virtually ceded control of the Banlieues to Islamists and criminal gangs.

They won’t protect their own people so why should the USA waste it’s time on them?

Carney is a likeminded Eurotrash wannabe who wants us to ally with these blowhard frauds.

‘Every day it’s more barriers’: how the US is shutting out climate refugees

Millions of people around the world are having their lives upended by floods, storms and heatwaves worsened by the climate crisis. Those forced to flee their home countries, however, are finding that the door to the US is more firmly shut than ever.

Neither US nor international law recognizes environmental hazards, such as climate-related displacement, as a valid cause to claim asylum or gain entry through other migration pathways, despite the mounting toll of disasters caused by an overheating planet.

Scrap China EV deal, auto group says in push to focus on U.S.

Diversification beyond the U.S. automobile market is “not an option” for Canada and Ottawa should scrap a trade deal with China that is seeing Chinese electric vehicles enter the Canadian market, a group representing three of the biggest U.S. automakers in Canada said on Tuesday.

The standing committee on international trade in the House of Commons heard from Brian Kingston, the president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, a group that represents the operations of Ford, General Motors and Stellantis in Canada.


This ought to go over well in Washington.
