While repeating his claim that Canada can easily replace their trade relationship with the USA by seeking larger trade relationship with other countries, specifically the EU, current interim Prime Minister Mark Carney repeats that no contact will be attempted or accepted by the Canadian government until President Donald Trump shows him respect.
This doesn’t portend favorably for U.S-Canada relations; which, to be fair, they would argue have been destroyed by President Donald Trump questioning their sovereignty. However, here’s the kicker, what Canadians don’t seem to realize is that questioning their sovereignty is simply a strategy by President Trump to eliminate the one-sided trade relationship with Canada.
It is funny to me that Canada just can’t figure this out.
As long as Canada refuses to engage with President Trump due to a perceived lack of respect, President Donald Trump will continue to enhance his disrespect of Canada, because the absence of engagement assists his ‘total trade reset’ objective. President Trump wants to ¹show, perhaps prove to the Canadian people, how dependent they are on their USA relationship; vis-a-vis they are already not a sovereign, economically independent nation. WATCH:
¹Somewhere around 80% of Canadians have no concept of how their economy is functioning {GO DEEP}. Most Canadians seem to think they have some form of capitalistic system in operation and tweeking the knobs will fix things; it won’t.
So, from an American political perspective, specifically from the perspective of President Trump – as noted in all of his repeated remarks about the upcoming Canadian election – having Mark Carney carry out his policies and watching the system therein collapse, might break the borg-mindset. It will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency hits around 0.25¢ to the US dollar. However, that currency collapse will ¹more than eliminate any Trump tariff impact.
REPEAT – This is all predictable.
Here’s how it will happen. CAD = Canadian Dollar, USD = U.S Dollar
President Trump hits Canada with an approximately 50% tariff. Let’s say an import widget from Canada costs the purchaser/importer $100 CAD + 50% tariff, now $150 CAD.
$1 CAD = 0.70¢ USD
Without U.S. tariff, it costs $70 USD to purchase the $100 CAD widget.
With the U.S tariff it would take $105 USD to purchase $150 Canadian widget
However, due to economic policy, Canada’s dependence on the USA market and the tariff battle, the Canadian currency drops around 30%. $1 CAD now equals 0.50¢ USD
With currency drop it now costs $50 USD to purchase the original $100 Canadian widget. $75 USD with tariff.
BEFORE: $70 USD without U.S. tariff, or AFTER: $75 USD with 50% U.S. tariff. A net change of $5.
But wait, back to Mark Carney’s plan. As stated in his tariff policy, the prime minister will take income from the Canadian side of the tariff equation (countervailing duties) to subsidize the impacted export sector. Just like China and the EU did in ’17, ’18 and ’19, the Canadian government plans to offset the difference to the U.S. consumer by subsidizing the exporter with import tariff income. All of this is done to retain access to USA consumers.
The final outcome, the U.S. purchaser is back to the original price of $70, only now that same outcome is evident with an invisible $50 tariff.
This is what China tried to do. This is what the EU tried to do. This is what Canada is now planning to do to retain access to the U.S. market while they look for alternatives.
But wait, it gets better….
….. As the Canadian financial sector evaluates the likely drop in the CAD currency, they seek safe harbor investment to retain the value of their money. The reciprocal tariffs are hitting every currency. The Canadian finance sector purchases dollar and dollar-backed assets to retain their value. This approach increases the value of the U.S dollar.
Do you really think President Trump gives a hoot about PM Carney’s feelings? Quite frankly, Trump would not want to be bothered by Canada while he is working on a much, much bigger geopolitical economic dynamic.
Go back and reference the renegotiation of the NAFTA for reference. Trump didn’t care if Canada (Trudeau/Freeland) agreed or did not agree with the USMCA. Trump was quite willing, heck he was hoping, to just deal with Canada on a bilateral trade system.

FAIR = NO
Apparently Carney will call for a snap election for the end of April, something I didn’t believe he would do.
But now I can see why.
He’s got to do it before Canadians come to realize what a weak hand…i.e. no cards…he holds in his ill conceived stance against President Trump. Time is not on the side of Net Zero Man who will continue to suck the life out of our Candian brothers and sisters.
Even though yesterday President Trump said that he didn’t care who it is who becomes PM, for their sakes that I pray Carney’s globalist agenda is eradicated at the ballot box. What Trudeau didn’t destroy, it is certain that this putrid worshipper of Gaia has started as he means to go on…and will finish the job.
Against President Trump, let’s just say Carney has yet to understand how out matched he is.
But he will…oh yes, he will.
Godspeed, Canada 🙏🏻

No, we have not. Our situation is no different than the US with Leftists in urban areas and the vast swath of the country is conservative. We have only a fraction of the US population so the differences are very stark. Trudeau stole the last election to enact globalist policies.
For them, it does, because we pay for it. Same in Europe.

Not so fast. The Canadian elite, while pretending to be patriotic, may be thinking about using this opportunity to their advantage while silently thanking Trump for providing them with a new manufactured crisis. This crisis can be used to take away more of their citizens wealth and rights while at the same time placing the blame on Trump.
This might be the opportunity Canadas installed government (WEF) has been looking for to convince the people to eat bugs among many other globalist wishes. Do you think Canadas installed elite are concerned about the welfare of the pesky proles who live within their borders? HONK!
Theories are fine, but they need to be premised with accurate statistics.
If 80% of a country’s population is economically illiterate {public/govt sector}, then only 20% are actually producing the goods and services {private sector} necessary for said country’s operational safety/security {per capita GDP}.
In order for one to “eat zee bugs” one must first be able to afford zee bugs.
One may think Pierre P is of the ‘soy’ class, I am not of that belief.
Mr P is no economic illiterate…
Hence,
The media must cancel/destroy any such rational economic voices.
In God We Trust
Trust God
Fear not
Someone can be a hard working producer and still be “economically illiterate”, so your “80% – 20% equation, I believe, is incorrect? I believe Pierre Poilievre is Canada’s best hope at this point. I believe he would work well with President Trump but he’ll have to respond harshly to President Trump’s rhetoric which I also believe President Trump will expect and respect.
People would be advised to not gloat over Canada’s predicament. Most Americans have a love for the underdog.
Didn’t this whole tariff tiff with Canada start over the fentanyl business? Shouldn’t that be kept front and center? It’ll be hard for Americans, and Canadians, to feel empathy for Canada’s plight if the root cause is Canada’s government allowing deadly drugs to be shipped into the US.
Point im making is that the globalists never let a manufactured crisis go to waste. The hoax pandemic was another perfect example.
I liked that…”Honk.” You are funny, Seth. You make great points!
I think the “Honk” is tribute to the Canada goose that we get to enjoy in the USA. The geese like partnering with the USA.
But they should close their border to the snow geese migration that move bird flu into our chicken egg flocks
Ya…a bit of sarcasm here lol
We enjoy the Greater Canadian Geese here on the high desert. Good sport and very tasty if cooked properly. Yum.
Agreed! Straight out of the WEF playbook!
They may have to eat bugs if their government keeps tanking the country…
precisely. deliberately tanking it but most will think Trump is to blame. Thats where the fake news media comes in.
Or they could see a Trucker movement 2.0, rallying the people against the WEF gov.
What seems to be missing at this point is a real leader…..yet that could be the stimulus for a Leader to arise on their behalf.
I dont think Canada has the required level of grassroots patriotism needed to jump start a movement like this.

Breaking History Ep. 88: Mark Carney and the British Shadow Over Canada
Ghost and Matt Ehret break down the rise of Mark Carney, the globalist banker now positioned to take over Canada, and his deep ties to the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, and the British Crown. They expose Canada’s long-standing role as a tool of the British Empire, the technocratic networks shaping its policies, and how Trudeau’s departure signals a shift in the global power game. Plus, they connect the dots between Carney’s financial schemes, the push for a Green New Deal economy, and the historic battle to keep Canada from being used as a wedge against US-Russia relations. If you think Canada is just America’s polite northern neighbor, think again…this episode will make you see it in a whole new light.

Montreal, City of Secrets: Confederate Operations in Montreal During the American Civil War Paperback – October 15, 2017
During the American Civil War, the Confederate government’s largest foreign secret service base was in Montreal. Montreal, then the largest city in British North America, has kept secret its unique role in the American Civil War ever since. Based on original archival research, Barry Sheehy challenges core tenets of the American Civil War narrative.

And then a hundred or so years later, there was this:
The work of Donald Ewen Cameron: from psychic driving to MK Ultra
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36964704/
Elizabeth Nickson posited that Kommie Harris was in the right place at the right time in the right social economic family structure milieu to have been a participant in MK Ultra, and that her substance issues and disjointed mental and verbal capacities may represent a failed MK Ultra programming decompensating.
Hey! Didn’t The Giggler live – and go to school – in…
Montreal???
Did she become a Canadian citizen during that time period? What about her mother? Had she ever become an American citizen while living in California?
Did the CIA pay to make her a citizen?
They did for Obama.
Stanley Dunham worked for USAID, Sundance called it out on the Twit and straight up said his citizenship situation was fixed and financed by the Derps.
We always knew he was a fabrication.
That’s what Nickson was saying, and I noted here, everything about her, including, yes, WHERE she was, the RIGHT PLACE, and every thing lines up, to include being fatherless, her mother’s economic and social status, everything.
So, if that is true, then it is Canada that tried to steal our last election, n’est-ce pas?
Now they are whining and sending Sad Saps to cry about their feelz, and making noises about President Trump interfering in their election.
She would know….what a Jewel.
The dimwitted Harris is now completely un-burdened by things that have been. Thank God!

I saved two boxes of the original Aunt Jemima pancake mix for heritage sake. One sits on the souvenir shelf while the other gets refilled with an Amish buckwheat mix that I like.
I won’t part with my boxes UNTIL Aunt Jemima returns to her rightful place.
She’s being brought back now that they don’t need the race wars for an election.
Same here. I liked Aunt Jemima just find. Now it’s just watered down corn syrup with added dye for color. It’s a shame, IMO.
Buy real maple syrup from the USA. High fructose corn syrup fake stuff is not good for you.
I recently looked at the ingredients of “Sugar Free” “maple” syrup and the first ingredient was High Fructose Corn Syrup. It had no sugar but it was chock full of HFCS.
Like VT maple syrup myself.
Our Wisconsin maple syrup is very good too. On the amateur scale, a friend down the road tapped and boiled down to 5 gallons of nice thicker syrup. Wonderful stuff.

Carney’s not bright enough and not patriotic enough to think about doing this, but if I was Carney, I’d be on the phone to Xi right now offering to sell much of but not all of Canada’s mineral resources to it in return for Chinese financial and know how assistance in setting up manufacturing industries inside Canada and opening up Chinese markets to Canadian made goods. Plus asking Xi for assistance in opening up a coms channel to Putin so Carney could negotiate same with Putin with respect to industry, because Russia doesn’t need Canada’s minerals. Then I’d announce to the Canadian people we’re withdrawing from the Commonwealth so the Crown no longer owns most of Canada like it used to, and Canada is a strong and independent nation no longer needing the apron strings of the archaic British Empire. Then I’d announce to the Canadian people that Canada has submitted an application to join BRICS. Etc.
Having dependency on a neighbouring country just cos it’s right next to you, is so last century, and Canada is a perfect opportunity to put that into practice.
Plus this absolutely screws the US because without Canadian resource-rich provinces, the US balance sheet faces a sovereign debt crisis of Empire-ending proportion, which is the only reason Trump has been talking about making it the 51st province. Which is why China and Russia would be interested in exploring the idea, were Carney to pick up the phone and start talking…
Unfortunately (for Canadians), this won’t happen.

All we’d have to do is blockade Chinese ships at the Panama Canal.
China dominates global trade. They run most of the world logistics. If by blocking China’s ships. China retaliates by refusing to let their shipping carry any trade with America. Our economy would be flushed.
Uh-huh, okay, sure.
No, China could just use the North West Artic trade route Russia is opening up.
I disagree. Carney is very bright and that makes him far more dangerous. I know the man and I have never liked him.
China executing four Canadians for drug offences might have put a damper on that.
Your argument assumes Canada is not already controlled by China. Where do you think all the products sold into the US from Canada come from? This is why the hardline stance.
You’re assuming an awful lot of Chinese good will.

Respect is earned. What has the Canadian government done to deserve Trump’s respect? For the most part they have fought and undermined Trump since 2016. a knee will bend before this is over and my bet is it won’t be Trump’s.
I don’t like the fact that Canada has had a huge advantage over America for many decades due to the lopsided tariffs they get, and am thankful that President Trump is working hard to level the playing field. He is fighting in everyway and in every direction to Make America Great Again, for sure.
After the American Civil War President Lincoln did not treat Confederate leaders or infantry poorly; in fact he angered many people by treating them with great respect and allowed them to keep their weapons.
Canada will be hit hard by what is about to come, and it will be humbling enough that no one will need to bow a knee — to us, or the U.S., or to President Trump.
Canadians gonna diss and boo our National Anthem?? Screw them.
Those Canadians are the same as our woke virus people, same programming.
Their government is as satanic as our own, same club.
The average people are regular folk and deserving of dignity and respect
and if it comes to it, our assistance.
They are just as ignorant, as the average American, to the going on’s of our perverted systems.
The anthem slight was done by wokies, let it go, quit being petty.
Proverbs 12:1, “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid”.
They can learn from this situation, or not. If they choose to not do better, then they leave themselves wide open for all sorts of derision.

Praying Christians may, or may not have postponed it.
American Christians, if still Earth locked, may not suffer the most punishing of the repercussions .

and even more merciful and empathetic.
Don’t recall US and Canada ever being buddy, buddy. Canada was more Frenchy. Their like the neighbor who lives close but are distant.

They are pretentious and desperate to ‘ make the grade’ of the imaginary Europe .

They are to be pitied, not condemned.

The further North you go, the less people you will find.
So, the 3 people up there identify as liberals, not Marxist, liberal.
The right leaning regions are the areas that get bled dry
to support the left leaning regions.
The no majority regions just haven’t been mugged enough by the left regions to notice.
Another explanation for the no majority regions, they don’t have enough to steal.
The bottom line for me is this,
They are people who are also created in the image of the Living God.
As such, they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as everyone else.
They did not earn, or deserve what they are going to suffer anymore than we did.
I might be mistaken, but I do not recall Canadians en mass
pointing and laughing at Americans because of the stolen election and corrupt government.

Perhaps we should apologize for that, or is it beneath us ?
Let’s do a little math, shall we?
Canada has ten provinces.
Subtract 2.5 provinces that show up as Right, that leaves….what?
7.5? Sounds like your math is a little fuzzy, but my math tells me that 7.5 is way more than 2.5.
And as for Canadians chest thumping over our stolen election, umm, you do remember the part Canada played in helping to bring that about, right? Or did you conveniently forget that part?
I remember the part where their government did.

Carney’s years in banking have clearly warped his mind such that he doesn’t understand the ins and outs of business. The few 10s or 100’s of miles too and fro trade across the US/Canada border seems to equate in his comments to the thousands of miles of cross Atlantic trade.
Why would Europe help Canada when there are huge manufacturing problems there already?
Sundance, I love to read your economic analysis. Just a question though. You wrote:
It will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency hits around 0.25¢ to the US dollar.
Do you mean $0.25 or do you really mean 0.25 cents?
Either way it is a big hit to the Canadian dollar.
At the rate Carney is going, I think it’ll hit both on the way down to toilet paper stock.
As fast as the US dollar has been dropping since January 20th. If the trend continues The USD and Canadian will be on parity soon.
F U canada, KMA…..go back to france and england….
Canada? Government? Citizen? That is a very wide swath you cut. Surely there are Canadians who hate what their government does.
Did King Charles III offer Trump 45-47 the option to rejoin the United Kingdom?
I’ve read that it will be offered.
If President Trump goes for it, I expect that WE will be the crown in the deal.
In that case, the ‘ immigrants ‘ will be leaving the UK, Canada and Australia quite rapidly.
They would have to adopt our Constitution immediately.
The proles might rather like that, once they got their heads around it.
The posted king picture makes sense now. Touché’, President Trump. Genius.
Has Charles HIMSELF ever joined the United Kingdom?
Has this idiot ever looked at a nighttime image of North America?
Just look at the difference between the quantity and intensity of city lights in the US vs Canada.
My bet within a year Canadians vote this guy out as well.
That’s the problem with socialism, it’s like an infection. Easy to catch when you aren’t paying attention, very hard to get rid of.
Not that easy, as he wasn’t voted in by the Canadians.

My daughter and her husband live in Toronto. They keep all their investments in the US. When they need money they transfer from US bank to Canadian bank. They love the conversion rates.
I wonder what the Snow Bird-Canadians in certain Florida-USA cities use for money when they get here?
I live on FLA Gulf Coast, and the number of Ontario license plates during Blue Jays spring training is the most I recall in the 4 years we have been here after moving from NY. Someone up there has money to spend.
My wife and I love Florida. The tarrifs talk won’t for a second make us reconsider travel plans. We will continue to support the US by travel.
My boss proudly showed me an app that is on his phone that shows whether an item is made in the US so he doesn’t buy it. This is all the rage in Canada. I told him that I’m actually specifically looking for made in US stickers for purchase. He was incensed. I don’t care.
My wife and I do wonder however how families in Florida are making it. When we go into Winn-Dixie the prices are enormously high. In Canada, our food costs, when you consider our dollar value are cheaper.

Thank you, Dan Dale, for understanding what is being done here on an economic scale.
You know what must be done and are preparing for the possible scenarios that will occur while the USA stops being the cash cow for every freeloading nation that takes from the USA.
Wow. This goes way beyond FAFO. This is nuclear level stupidity from Carney the Clown.
One wonders if Carney and the other clowns in his tribe are intentionally trying to collapse the Canadian economy for their own nefarious purposes.
Worried about no respect? Sounds like a cultural Marxist.
And this guy is supposedly some hotshot banker? I wonder if he got his degree in finance from the “Close Cover Before Striking School of Economics and Lawn Mower Repair”?
Frog in pan of cool water.
Maybe Carney is a follower of Joy Reid, and believed her when she said Canada could defeat the United States in a war.
That really would be stupid.
Maybe Joyless will move to Canada to be on the winning side.
It’s just talk before the election to win over angry Canadians. Whoever wins in a month will massively calm down.
“It’s just talk before the election to win over angry Canadians.”
And it’s talk to make as many Canadians angry as he can before heading into the election to win those angry people over.
He has no skin in the game.
He will suffer nothing by destroying Canada.
The rest of the politicians hope that they have bowed and scraped enough
to be insulated by their overlord, WEF.
It’s the same as when the bankers have their politicians vote to send our boys to the slaughter.
“It will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency hits around 0.25¢ to the US dollar. However, that currency collapse will ¹more than eliminate any Trump tariff impact.” – Sundance
When that happens it will be a great time to vacation in Canada! I guess Canada has no economists that understand what Sundance just laid out? I will not be surprised when the IC run mockingbird msm praises Canadians for their sovereignty, nationalism and patriotism but abhors when Americans do the same!!! JMO

Carney: “Canadians are going to decide who their next government is going to be” The cadence of this guy’s speech pattern sounds a lot like Obama, and we all know how that worked out.
I suspect that there will be some leftist virtue signaling by MLB teams playing in Canada this summer. Maybe American teams not participating in the national anthem.
HOW THIS COULD PLAY OUT;
CAD/USD Tracking with Sundance’s hypothesis. So far the Canadian dollar has dropped 5.2% against the U.S. dollar since October 2024.
On February 3, 2025, CAD fell to a 22-year low against the USD. The decline was triggered by PDJT’s announcement that day of sweeping 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, effective February 4, 2025.
10/4/24 – CAD/USD = .7364
11/05/24 – CAD/USD = .7194

‘ The reciprocal tariffs are hitting every currency.’ – Sundance
President Trump said in June 2019, “The Euro and other currencies are devalued against the dollar, putting the U.S. at a big disadvantage,” adding that the Fed doesn’t have “a clue.”

If a tariff war provokes competitive currency devaluations (a reasonable expectation, since it happened in the 1930s), then a trade war morphs into a devaluation war as well.
If I were counseling the president, I would advise him to steer clear of this outcome.
yes Depressions are not any fun.
Another wise man advises America to steer clear of Trade wars also.
I thought Trump renegotiated the he unfair trade deals in 2018. Also, I thought this was about border security and illegal drugs.
President Trump broke NAFTA in 2018, replacing it with a much more fair but still undesirable USMCA. Nothing but cheating from both Mexico and Canada on trade, drugs, and border security since that time, so now President Trump is forcing bilateral deals on them. Their ability to flood our economy with cheap Chinese goods destroying what is left of our manufacturing is thereby nullified. Reciprocal tarrifs on both countries and economic pressure on both to stop both illegal immigration and drugs crossing the borders is also yielding favorable results in both areas.
makes wonder if they have fair elections there.maybe He get elected because of those illegals voted,
Carney is on the fast track to earning his FAFO reward!
The best words to describe Canada are:
Failure to Launch
This is a classic narcissistic abuse relationship where the narcissist demands respect for nothing, looks down on the people they have relied on, and then plays the victim when someone has the gall to not be abused anymore.
The gaslighting from this loser is stunning. This behavior must be polling well with the Canadians.
Oh, well Okey dokey…
Pass the popcorn please…
Oh…and we should raise tariffs by 300 percent…
Thanks for playin…
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” – Margaret Thatcher
Carney can pretend that he’s sticking it to the Americans, but the result will be the same. Without America acting as their host, their globalist system will collapse.
First: When you say “Canada” you likely should say “Canada’s current Political Class”
Have to assume the best and think at least *some* people in Canada *can* figure it out. Or surely the trade relationship with the US is doomed and the US can’t easily replace its top 3 trading partner easily either.
Saying “Canada can’t figure it out” implies stupidity is contained within pencil lines drawn on paper by people.
Second: I feel we are making the same relationship with trade as we did with the gene jab.
Distill it down to two words so the plebs can understand it.. Which is BAD
Gene jab = safe and effective!
Trade = (un)fair and (un)balanced!
Third: Carney is not even elected as an Member of Canadian parliament so how does that work even.
Canada has been a punchline for a long time. They are safe due to their shared border with the US. Their standard of living is completely dependent on proximity to US markets. They have mass imported so many muslims and Asians that the Canadian culture – whatever that is – will cease to exist in a generation or so.
They are also further down the government tyranny path than we are – more like the UK.
I have said for a while.. what is that we buy from Canada that we only can buy from Canada and we need it NOW… not much of anything. So our trade is truly a “nice to have” if both sides are agreeable to it.
But look, what did the Canadian PM just say??… he said same thing… “his claim that Canada can easily replace their trade relationship with the USA by seeking larger trade relationship with other countries, specifically the EU”…really? Go for it.. The Mounty always get their man!!!
The currency effects as Sundance points out will destroy Canada’s final facade that it is a first world country. It will tumple to 2nd world or even third world status, which is means its basically a commodity exporter with nothing value added. Anybody with a good tech idea or biotech or anything in Canada should just move the operations to the USA to make money… not stay there. And that has always happened anyhow… now it will be a faster brain drain.
Canada defines itself as Not the US. Fine.
So Governor Carnival is giving Trump the silent treatment. LOL.
Imagine .. let Canadians eat grass while pandas eat cake scenario .. tongue in cheek
Carney – was his contempt for the USA facetious? Ha ha – don’t think so since he’s banking on alternatives – the price of bamboo shoots that pandas eat skyrocketing going towards Canada’s food import supply with high tariffs while their pandas finally get a diet of panda cakes, steamed corn bread, fruits e.g. apples, and vegetables e.g carrots.
Liberals think emotionally, not logically. I can say from personal experience that the times when I thought emotionally about something, I was almost always wrong. On top of that, Carney is pompous and self centered. Until someone who can think logically talks some sense into him, it’s going to be very bad for the Canadian economy in the future.
