That’s Canada’s trade policy for you.
It’s a peculiar axiomatic reality of Canadian public opinion. Whenever the popular loathing of United States President Donald Trump is inflamed, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approval ratings either solidify or rise. While President Trump’s belligerent tariff manipulations alienate America’s friends and allies around the world, Carney can be found posing with yet another head of state at the signing of some shiny new free trade arrangement.
Mark Carney and the Syrupeans are bleating again.
After spending the better part of the past twelve months jet-setting around the world, trying to drum up support for his New World Order, and, while out of the Northern Hemisphere, making sure to tell everyone just how bad the United States sucks, while sucking up to Donald Trump the second he comes home empty-handed, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is now in the F.O. part of his F.A. tour.
The results of an Abacus Data survey have again revealed which generations are keeping the rotten Liberal Party popular and in power. It’s the baby boomers and the silent generation, of course.
The new survey, released on Sunday, showed that “(a)mong Canadians aged 60 and over, the Liberals lead the Conservatives by 20 points, 52 per cent to 32 per cent.” Only one or two percentage points divide the Liberal/Conservative preference (measured as vote intention) among all other age groups, meaning that without the Boomers and their elders, our red and blue parties would be neck-and-neck in the polls.
Officials in Windsor, Ont., celebrated next week’s planned opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge at a Canada-only ribbon-cutting ceremony on the Canadian side of the structure.
Representatives from the Government of Canada, Government of Ontario, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, Bridging North America, and members of the Howe family gathered Friday to officially inaugurate the bridge
After 25 years of planning, seven years of construction and months of delays, the first trucks are finally set to roll over the Gordie Howe bridge on Monday.
In tow will be some of the billions of dollars worth of goods that pass through the Windsor-Detroit corridor, which the bridge will help get to their destinations faster — saving time and money.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity here in dollar terms, but also in terms of what our future looks like, just embodied in that one bridge,” said Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University who studies international trade.
The CBC has learned nothing since it stood on the precipice and stared down its annihilation at the hands of a Conservative government.
Last month, Pollara released its annual Trust in Media survey, revealing the CBC’s net trust score among Conservative voters is now just +9, compared to +78 among Liberal voters—the widest trust gap of any Canadian outlet. Conservative trust dropped 13 points in just three years.
Donald Trump has once again inspired anger and confusion in US allies and trading partners as he imposed a wave of tariffs on more than 80 countries, replacing an expiring global duty introduced earlier this year.
The new measures effectively replace blanket 10% tariffs that Trump imposed in February. The US supreme court ruled many of those were illegal. The new levies come in at between 10% and 12.5% on countries including the UK, Mexico, Canada, Australia, India, China and the 27 countries that make up the EU.
Carney’s bewildered because his ChiCom pals are big on slave labour.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he “imperfectly” described the new deal to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge after the text of the agreement appeared to contradict his original explanation.
While attending the Calgary Stampede shortly after the deal was struck — but before the text was made public — Carney told CTV that bridge toll revenue would only be split with the U.S. after accounting for operating costs, including repaying the debt.
But that suggestion seemed to contradict the text of the agreement, which was only made public late Tuesday and made no reference to Canada’s debt.
He lied deliberately but this time his media misinformation apparatus couldn’t cover it up.
Mark Carney is a very smart guy, but not as smart as the oil company executives who have him hog-tied.
In a barrage of recent announcements, Prime Minister Carney has clearly been trying to convince Canadians that he’s carefully mapped out a plan to reshape Canada into an “energy superpower” — a term popularized by former prime minister Stephen Harper.
But Carney’s energy superpower ambitions have a twist, differentiating him from Harper who was, although not an actual climate change denier, at least a close facsimile.
There is a comforting story I have heard people say for the past decade about our politics in Canada.
And it goes something like this. Canadians are different. We are practical and moderate. We do not get carried away by ideological movements or political strongmen. While other countries lurch from one political upheaval to another, Canada generally stays somewhere near the middle.
Just like how for decades people said we wouldn’t debate immigration. And that anti-immigration policy sentiment couldn’t come to Canada.
Canada is being torn apart, prepped for slaughter by the Liberal Party’s mass immigration of incompatible cultures.
Don’t for a second doubt our erasure is not deliberate.
Interestingly, Ambassador and Deputy United States Trade Representative Rick Switzer appeared on the YouTube channel of the Council on Foreign Relations. The Ambassador is a veteran diplomat with decades of experience. He has also founded ProjX Technology Consulting and taught graduate courses at the National Intelligence University. Mr. Switzer has echoed the same critique of Prime Minister Mark Carney as I have already published. In short, he stated that Carney has made the negotiations between Canada and the US personal, has “gone out of his way to be antagonistic,” and that this approach is “political malpractice.”
Canadian residency was available for purchase just a few short years ago. Everyone involved knew what was going on – the colleges, the universities, the immigration “consultants,” the provinces and federal government, and prospective new Canadians. They all recognized that if an individual checked the appropriate boxes, made the correct attestations and could muster up tuition for one of the hundreds of Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) in Canada, he or she could probably stay in Canada for the long-term. In 2024, 98 per cent of those who applied for postgraduate work permits (PGWP) were approved.
Those who signed off on this criminal act of national subversion should be jailed.
Computer science and artificial intelligence pioneer John McCarthy famously said that, “he who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.”
He meant that when dealing with complex systems, decisions must be based on hard numbers and data, as opposed to ideology and emotion.
That explains how Canadian energy policy became a train wreck under the Justin Trudeau Liberals, starting in 2015 when they took power.
CBC as Canada’s federally appointed fact-checker? That sounds less like journalism and more like turning the state broadcaster into an information gatekeeper for the governing party.
On paper, Donald Trump’s latest tariffs only apply to about five per cent of Canada’s goods exports.
But they set a precedent of ignoring the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade (CUSMA) that economists, trade experts and business leaders warn could inflict much wider damage. They also use a legal mechanism that gives the U.S. president a lot more flexibility.
