In the weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a trade war with his punishing tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada’s “old relationship” with the U.S. would be “over” soon — and now there’s some hard evidence that is indeed happening.
CBC News reviewed datasets on travel, trade, shopping and culture, and all of them paint a similar picture: Canadians are taking a big step back from the U.S.
Months after Trump launched his trade broadside and prompted a national backlash with his 51st state taunts, the Canadian travel boycott is still in full swing with many shunning cross-border travel, prompting airlines to cancel U.S. flights and curb capacity.
Carney must have given the order to pump up the volume and the CBC responded with a puff piece on the fabulous state of our economy.
Canada’s economy is a horrid mess and citizens are demonstrably poorer after a decade of Liberal party mismanagement but everything is peachy keen according to the CBC propaganda machine. Rents are sky high, home purchases out of the question, name it and it’s gotten worse in the real world. Anger at Trump accounts for some boycott success. But spending is naturally reduced because Canadians fear losing their jobs to the cheap foreign labour the LPC has flooded the country with, and if they don’t have a job good luck finding one because our corporate welfare class loves cheap foreign labour.
Trudeau era featured worst economic growth since Great Depression, study says: Prime Minister Mark Carney cited Trudeau’s high immigration policies, along with out-of-control government operational spending, as two reasons our economy was in bad shape before U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
This RCMP report dates from 2024, that would be last year and I doubt the situation has improved … Right from the get-go, the report authors warn that whatever Canada’s current situation, it ‘will probably deteriorate further in the next five years’
