I, Marcus: Canadians Discover The Trade Walkaway Was About Him, Not Them

To Trump, it’s Kennedy telling the Cubans that having a hostile nation at their doorstep is a no-go. He has a continental plan to build a golden dome missile shield over the Western hemisphere and protect their hegemony. They want Canada pulling on the oars with them. But Captain Canada, whose investments are 90 percent in U.S., has different ideas.

“At tonite’s Blue Jays game, there is ample justification for 

a) fans to remain seated for the U-S anthem

b) the Jays to make that unnecessary by beginning the evening with the playing and singing of O Canada ONLY.” davehodge20

Well I’m glad you’re not taking this trade thing personally. As the details (or lack of detail from Canada) over the collapsed CUSMA talks became apparent Monday, Canadians vied with how much vitriol to spill over PMMC taking his ball and going home.

Dave did his pencil flip over the anthem. A grim-face Andrew Coyne cited the Vimy Ridge example. “We have to show that we have the stomach for the fight, that we're willing to endure pain in this fight in a way that Americans really aren't. Nobody signed up for this in the US, whereas everybody has signed up for this in this country.”

A Tissue stalwart Chantal Hébert notes “polls that show 75 percent of people backing Mark Carney are quite extraordinary. But the opposite is not true in the U.S. That is not happening to President Trump and his crew. No one is saying, 'Good for you. Please stand up to Canada and hit them more’.”

As usual Doug Ford brought the thoughtful take: “… Trump is a loser… I have more courage and brains in my baby toe than he has in his whole body… He's going soon if Dems win the midterms. Kick this bully out of office.”

We’re coming to believe that Canadians like Ford and Chantal are expecting the U.S Congress to do the heavy lifting for them. The “wait till the midterms” theme was given away by former deputy PM Chrystia Freeland, now a grey figure working as Carney’s factotum in Ukraine. She announced plans to partner with the U.S. Democrats , "to wage psychological warfare on Americans, perceptional warfare, make them misperceive reality " before the November midterms.

You won’t hear this tasty psyop morsel in the subsidized Canadian media. The breakdown in talks is strictly the fault of Trump. Here's a sample. of the canned Carney content. “While we can’t control the storm blowing in from the United States, we can chart a new course – building Canada strong at home and diversifying our trading relationships abroad.” Hint, hint. Beijing is lovely this time of year. 

The Brave Sir Robins like Coyne and Hébert breathlessly recited Carney's claims about the U.S. shutting down Québec as the reason Team Liberal theatrically absented the room at a minute to midnight. Trump wants to end French in Quebec, they alleged -- a claim denied by the bilingual American chief negotiator Scott Greer. Side note. Why are only the Americans talking about the issues behind the breakdown?

The Ottawa chattering class also cited Trump dictating who Canada can do deals with. (read China) To Trump, it’s like Kennedy telling the Cubans in 1962 that having a hostile nation with nukes at their doorstep is a no-go. He has a continental plan to build a golden dome missile shield over the Western hemisphere and protect their hegemony. The Americans want Canada pulling on the oars with them. The Americans, in the words of NFL coach Dennis Green,“are who they said they’d be”.

That's out of the question for Carney who is pursuing his globalist plans to lead the world's "middle powers" in a squeeze play against Russia. And, by extension, preventing Trump from getting a peace treaty before Carney and Co. can lock in their NetZero investments in Canada. It's all in his book "Mein Climat". Sorry, "Value(s)", a dismal dirge about making Al Gore happy.

To get there he has to prolong the Ukraine money-laundering machine ($4.3 B from Canada in 2026) to protect the Euro armaments industry now propping up their pallid economies. Why is this in Canada's interests when it has a $1.7T national debt? Impertinence! Captain Canada, whose investments are 90 percent in U.S., does not explain himself. Suddenly he hired a Democratic Party strategist Maiya Johnson as his COO to coordinate with Freeland in Kiev, the Euros in Brussels and frustrate Trump in the midterms.

@HaveWeAllGoneM1 “Carney isn’t defending Canada ... he’s using it as collateral in a globalist campaign against Trump. Plus he gets the bonus of riling up Canadians against Trump to boost his numbers before the by-elections.” Appeasement is most definitely not what Carney is thinking as he acts as the pious  forward firing base for China and the NetZero crowd. 

All of this rending of garments and gnashing of teeth should remind us,  “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Purchased TDS media and Elbows Up devotees embracing the narrative on the CUSMA collapse have curiously neglected this wisdom in their zeal to become cheerleaders, not neutral reporters.

Remember, the Liberals telling you to trust them on trade are the same people whose Covid narrative was a tissue of lies and obfuscations that killed thousands. Carney’s the same guy who assured voters that the Gordie Howe Bridge was a triumph for his negotiating skills. Oops. He’d told a national TV audience he’d have a trade deal with Trump within six months. Sorry.

Then there was the Libs’ Truckers Convoy response, portraying vaccine protesters as anti-science misoginist Nazis. https://x.com/cbcwatcher/status/2013297342087123353?s=20 The government lost millions in court defending the indefensible destruction of citizens’ rights. (Which unrepentant Liberals and NDP will be happy to trample again.)

All of this is now memory-holed by the bubble boys and girls in Boomerland who want tunas with good taste, not tunas that taste good. Leaving Americans like CNBC’s Joe Kernen puzzled, reminding CDN top negotiator Dominic LeBlanc of some stark economic realities . "Minister LeBlanc, this is the last thing Canada needs… The OECD projects that Canada out of 38 OECD members will rank 38 dead last in GDP per capita growth through 2060. And I'm trying to figure out why... I looked to see, and I do find one thing it says here. Tax and regulatory competitiveness.”

Ho, hum. This gullibility is why Canada is such a convenient beard for Carney’s globalist pals. To please them he’s using Canadian pension funds to entice Brookfield and others while major firms go bankrupt or leave the country. leave the country .

As Texas senator Ted Cruz notes of Carney: “Chest-beating on Canadian TV is not a strategy. It’s a show. Our economy lives on that border. We need a deal. Not a performance." Gee, who'd have thought as the CDN fainting goats hit the floor last week that the deal was about someone other than themselves?
