MAGA is quickly turning our closest ally into a bitter enemy…
“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,” said Carney.
“What exactly the United States does next is unclear but what is clear — what is clear — is that we as Canadians have agency,” he continued. “We have power. We are masters in our own home.”
“We can control our destiny,” he went on. “We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government including the United States can ever take away.”
“We can deal with this crisis best by building our strength right here at home,” said Carney. “It will take hard work. It will take steady and focused determination from governments, from businesses, from labor, from Canadians.”
“We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere,” he continued. “And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.”
The bit about pivoting trade relationships “elsewhere” should concern every American. Thanks to Donald Trump’s disastrous and pointless tariffs, the United States no longer looks like a stable partner to foreign nations. Increasingly, countries like China and Russia are going to look like better options for many of our former allies.
Carney has not minced his words about the tariffs either, calling them a “direct attack” on Canada while also pointing out that they are hurting Americans.
As if the situation weren’t bad enough already, Trump stated yesterday that he is placing a “permanent” 25% tariff on automobile imports. There are also growing concerns about a toilet paper shortage in America thanks to tariffs on Canadian tree pulp.
Donald Trump promised his supporters a new “Golden Age” for America. Instead he’s dragging us into an economic Dark Age.
