According to the people present, when former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, his primary objective was to inform President Trump his public demands for U.S. trade reciprocity with Canada were unachievable.
Trudeau was not lying. In this outline we will explain a dynamic that is certain to surface this summer.
President Trump has deferred all North American trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico until later in the year, after the priority trade deals with other large trade partners are completed. The USMCA trade pact is due for review and renegotiation this year [BACK STORY]. We should expect an entirely different trade pact as an outcome, quite possibly the ending of the trilateral nature of the current agreement.
A few days ago, Politico noted that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had a reprieve from his prior campaign points about confronting President Trump on tariffs immediately. PM Carney is currently trying to align allies for what will likely be a major confrontation that he cannot win.
♦ BACKGROUND – Following the 2024 presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago and said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government face reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse upon itself economically and cease to exist. In essence, in addition to the NATO defense shortfall, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy.
To wit, President Trump then said, if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment, including putting together their own military and defenses and meeting their NATO obligations, then Canada should become the 51st U.S state. It was following this meeting that President Trump started emphasizing this point and shocking everyone in the process. However, in the emotional reaction to Trump’s statements, no-one looked at the core issues outlined by Trudeau that framed President Trump’s opinion.
Representing Canada, Justin Trudeau was not expressing an unwillingness to comply with fairness and reciprocity in trade with the USA, what Trudeau was expressing was an inability to comply. Quite simply, after decades of shifting priorities, Canada no longer has the internal economic capability to comply with a fair-trade agreement (FTA). Trudeau was not lying, and President Trump understood the argument; hence his 51st state remarks.
This is where it becomes important to understand the core reason why Trump, Ross and Lighthizer (2017) did not structurally want to replace the NAFTA agreement with another trilateral trade deal. Mexico and Canada are completely different as it pertains to trade with the USA. President Trump would rather have two separate bilateral agreements; one for Mexico and one for Canada.
♦ Firstly, Canada is a NATO partner, Mexico is not. As President Trump affirmed to Justin Trudeau during the meeting, it would be unfair of President Trump to discuss NATO funding with the European Union, while Canada is one of the worst offenders. Trump is leveraging favorable trade terms and tariff relief with the EU member states, as a carrot to get them into compliance with the 2.0 to 2.5% spending requirement for their military.
If the NATO member states contribute more to their own defense, the U.S. can pull back spending and save Americans money. However, Canada is currently 26th in NATO funding, spending only 1.37% of their GDP on defense (link).
Canada would have to spend at least another $15 billion/yr on their defense programs in order to reach 2.0%. Justin Trudeau told President Trump that was an impossible goal given the nature of the Canadian political system, and the current size of their economy ($2.25 trillion).
♦ Secondly, over the last 40 years Canada has deindustrialized their economy, Mexico has not. As the progressive political ideology of their politicians took control of Canada policy, the ‘climate change’ agenda and ‘green’ economy became their focus. The dirty industrialized systems were not compliant with the goals of the Canadian policy makers.
The dirty mining sector (coal, coking coal, ore) no longer exists at scale to support self-sufficient manufacturing. The dirty oil refineries do not exist to refine the crude oil they extract. Large industrial heavy industry no longer exists at a scale needed to be self-sufficient. Instead, Canada purchases forged and rolled steel component parts from overseas (mostly China). Making the issue more challenging, Canada doesn’t even have enough people skilled to do the dirty jobs within the heavy manufacturing; they would need a national apprenticeship program. Again, all points raised by Trudeau to explain why bilateral trade compliance was impossible.
♦ Thirdly, the trade between Canada/U. S and Mexico/U. S is entirely different. The main imports from Canada are energy, lumber and raw materials. The main imports from Mexico are agriculture, cars and finished industrial goods. Mexico refines its own oil; Canada ships their oil to the USA for refining. There are obviously some similar products from Mexico and Canada, but for the most part there is a big difference.
♦ Forth, USA banks are allowed to operate in Mexico, but USA banks are not allowed to operate in Canada. USA media organizations are allowed to broadcast in Mexico, but USA media organizations are regulated and not permitted to broadcast in Canada. The Canadian government has strong regulations and restrictions on information and Intellectual Property.
All of these points of difference highlight why a trilateral trade agreement like NAFTA and the USMCA just don’t work out for the USA.
Additionally, if President Trump levies a tariff on Chinese imports, it hits Canada much harder than Mexico because Canada has deindustrialized and now imports from China to assemble into finished goods destined to the USA. In a very direct way Canada is a passthrough for Chinese products. Canada is now more of an assembly economy, not a dirty job manufacturing economy.
When Trudeau outlines the inability of Canada to agree to trade terms, simply because his country no longer has the capability of adhering to those trade terms, a frustrated President Trump says, “then become a state.”
There is no option to remain taking advantage of the USA on this level, and things are only getting worse. Thus, the point of irreconcilable conflict is identified.
Because the Canadian government became so dependent on their role as an assembly economy, they enmeshed with China in a way that made them dependent. The political issues of Chinese influence within Canada are a direct result of this dynamic. In fact, China was the big winner from the outcome of the recent election because all of their investments into Canada are grounded on retaining Liberal government dependency.
If Trump targets China with punitive tariffs, the Canadian economy will be collaterally damaged. Canada will end up paying a tariff rate because they use cheap Chinese component parts in their finished goods. Canada has structurally designed their economy to do this over multiple years.
Understanding the unique nature of the Canadian economic conundrum, the only way to address the issue is to break out the USMCA into two separate bilateral trade agreements. One set of trade terms for Mexico that leverages border security, and one set of trade terms for Canada that leverages NATO security and border security. The only substantive similarity between them will be in the auto and agriculture sector.
If you think the multinational corporations, political leftists and UniParty Republicans in the USA are strongly opposing Trump now, just wait until later this year when the Trump administration proposes the elimination of the trilateral North American trade agreement, USMCA.
According to the World Bank, the USA economy is $27.3 trillion. Canada is $2.1 trillion.
Do the math!
[…] The expectation, according to two people close to the White House, is that negotiations to permanently remove the threat of painful 25 percent tariffs on Canada — which Trump mostly rolled back earlier this month — and other sector-specific tariffs are likely to be folded into the upcoming review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. That review is due in 2026, but the Trump administration wants to accelerate to this calendar year.
“It makes sense to separate out Canada and Mexico from the rest because they are going to want to redo the USMCA,” said one of the people close to the White House, who were granted anonymity to discuss ongoing deliberations. “They’re going to have separate tariffs that focus specifically on Mexico and Canada, and they’re going to take some actions to squeeze them a little bit.” [LINK]
China 🇨🇳 owns and runs Canada 🇨🇦

Canadian investigative journalist
Canada deserves exactly what it has planned for. Building a house of straw is not a good strategy in wolf country.
That’s what all leftists do cuz they don’t do reality
Not equipped to do reality.
You are absolutely correct.
once again, thank you, Sundance for breaking this down into manageable meals that a guy like me that can consume and understand.
Being felt already
The layoffs have started .
GM Oshawa Ontario 🇨🇦
Eliminating a shift
700 to be laid off in the fall .
STELLANTIS moving production to USA 🇺🇸
THE DOWNFALL OF THE GREAT WHITE NORTH HAS BEGUN .
With GLOBALIST WEF PM MARK CARNEY AS
LEADER
THIS DOWNFALL CANNOT COME QUICK ENOUGH
DESTROY THE EU CHINA GLOBALIST
CABAL .
Too bad for the Snow Mexicans…
I believe there are layoffs and shift eliminations happening in the US also. Some related to the Oshawa shift elimination. Please correct me if I am wrong
Stellantis, jthe jagoffs who ruined Jeep, are moving production to the US … but profits will still flow to Europe, right?
The question stemming from all of this is: Do we really want/need Canada as a US state? We already have CA. Do we really need another woke, leftist, dysfunctional state to worry about?
Yes, exactly, maybe Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the other provinces are too radical left.
Not to mention the language issues in those other provinces.
Yes, They speak Canadian
Laurentian provences speak French.
yes. ”French Canadian”
I would imagine that a lot of them speak Chinese or Arabian, no?
Lots of languages in Canada like New York and other cities in the USA
Forgive me I can’t recall where but I watched a vid with a rancher in Canada explaining how they had much more in common with their brothers in ta Texas and Wyoming and wanted to succeed and join the US.
Territory ; each must exhibit and meet list of requirements before being considered for statehood . Structure to mirror the USA as the prairie provinces have already shown to be on the right track .
At all costs keep Ontario out of the USA!!
This leads to the breakup of a nation.
I would rather see our northern cousins restore their nation the way we are working to restore ours.
They must find the will.
The have no capability of finding the will with the provinces that are as hard left as the left coast, and the NEin the US.
They have bought their ticket to the land of unicorns. And under no circumstances will they change course.
Her in CA, the insanity is proven out every day.
Canada has always been socialist, feeding off the USA largesse, as have their EU cousins. The problem is that Canada’s structure has always been thus. And the EU they so admire can no more sustain Canada than they can sustain their own economies without *massive* influxes of other people’s (USA) money.
Lesson: Socialism is not sustainable without a host to leech onto. No wonder the globalists want to kill everyone off and start fresh.
China is living proof of what you say. How long would the Chicom economy last if western nations ceased buying their products?
Agree that would be best case scenario. Unfortunately, they just voted to go deeper into the Marxist/demonic abyss. God bless and keep our freedom loving brothers and sisters to the north. 🙏
Yinzer…. Not very long…They would return to their isolated status they had at one time and revert to an extremely poor nation without the ability to feed their people.
“the breakup of a nation”
If referring to Canada, Canada has never been a sovereign nation. Its one of the few remaining colonies of what once was referred to as The British Empire.
I think Canada as a whole is too far gone to make even a slight right turn that will help them.
Remember, we had the slow incremental walk into socialism through many presidents after JFK, then a redirection with Reagan, then the socialism walk, then Trump, then Bidan, now Trump.
Canada jumped head-on into everything woke, full steam ahead. Although I know nothing about Mulroney (the internet says he was a progressive conservative), and he had a 10 year run, what does it say that Canadians, after watching what was happening around the world, specifically their southern neighbor and our fight to keep our Republic, and they went from the frying pan (Trudeau), to the fire (Carney)?
Maybe western Canada will succeed, and Godspeed to them, but the rest of Canada like being serfs for some unknown reason.
I’d take Alberta and Saskatchewan, maybe Manitoba, and British Columbia to avoid a rump with a foreign power gain access to the Pacific shore of North America. BC would be a hard swallow because of the leftism…maybe buy them out and send them to what’s left of Canada – replacing the lefty portion of the population would probably pay for itself in a few years.
Make each province it’s own state. They are all different from each other.
NO, and enough of the 51st U.S. state talk already.
You do realize, 1-L90, that Australia has been the 51st State since, at least, WWII – don’t you?
Not so much in name but in actions undertaken.
Whither goeth the USA, so goeth Oz.
Unfortunately!
The answer is he** NO
Trump and his economics team are Brilliant. Let the Canadians understand and suffer their left wing environment friendly policies.
They may want to put some adults in charge of there in Canada that understand economics.
They got in bed with the wrong country (China)
All the huffing and puffing and middle finger gestures from the Canadians remind me of children having a temper tantrum when Grandpa tells them they can’t do when visiting our house, what their parents allow them to get away with at home.
It’s just the opposite here. What happens at Grandpa’s stays at Grandpa’s.lol
Canada is headed for the same future at the hands of the US as the USA was headed for with China.
Canada and Canadians made THEIR OWN CHOICES that are now impacting their future — the USA had nothing to do with it.
And then what do we see from the Canadian voters? Another election awarding another Leftist idiot with their Prime Minister’s office. You just can’t make the amount of stupidity of this up….
IMO, the vast majority of Canadian voters don’t understand what’s going on.
They’ve drunk the Kool-Aid and that’s all they know to do.
They’ve been trained into a certain way of thinking and living.
This is an explanation, not an excuse.
Much the same goes on in this country as well.
We were taught to trust our leaders – political, military, business, etc.
But, when the light goes on and people get a look behind the curtain….all of that trust evaporates quickly.
And hunger is a great motivator. It forces action. Take the coal industry. If the average coal worker in the U.S. makes $40/hr, they will relocate to Canada overnight at $60/hr. But then Canadians would need investment money to get the infrastructure and equipment to start digging and they don’t have all that with a $2B GDP since they’re green. So now they would have to let American banks in to help. Now they have all those hillbilly and redneck Americans working up there who want their fix of Sundance, Steve Bannon, Gateway, etc. so now American free media is being imported.
Canada is so screwed…
$60 per hour minus %50 income tax.
… Or blessed, if your scenario were to come to pass. Canada would benefit from a mass-migration of American rednecks with greasy hands and ginormous mechanical engineering knowledge.
That is precisely what has happened here in Canada. ( and in much of other western nations too.)
Cheers!
I hope things will not get too bad before all of Canada awakens and asks for wisdom from PDJT on how to fix/rebuild.
The EU has gobbled you up. They don’t understand they themselves are dead ducks.
It was fixed.
Just as ours were in the years before this last election.
They’re no different than American voters: Geo Bush 1 and 2, Clinton, Obama, Bush, Biden, and endless wars and loss of good jobs, destruction of academic standards, destruction of communities through drug infestations/crime, etc.
Through all of those, it’s only lefties who’ve taken to the streets with protests, never the rest of America. Just the basic moaning and groaning like the whiners we’ve become. Joe and Wendy Whiner are the citizens of America and Canada for the most part.
There’s your problem–for both Canada and our USA.
very good article, thanks!
“USA media organizations are allowed to broadcast in Mexico, but USA media organizations are regulated and not permitted to broadcast in Canada. The Canadian government has strong regulations and restrictions on information and Intellectual Property.”
Let me take you back a few decades and channel Wolfman Jack for a moment:
https://www.worldofradio.co.uk/Border-Blasters.html
Thanks for the memory!
My older brother and I would stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights listening to Wolfman Jack. Later we were committed fans of The Midnight Special on tv.
Daddy most certainly did not approve, lol.
I have been full force Midnight Special watching upon YouTube lately. I was a kid when it was on and loved it. So many memories of way past my bedtime rocking out.
Oh man, does that bring back memories. CKLW back in the Motown days . . . they would run across the border with something they just recorded, and we’d get to hear it for a couple of weeks before it went on sale. Truly the best era in music.
“CKLW. First in the Motor City with 20/20 News!”
CKLW…The Motor City.
I grew up listening to it in Cleveland in the ’60s and ’70s. It came in clearer than any local station because it broadcast across Lake Erie, with no interference. And as I understand, although it marketed itself as a Detroit station (with a great lineup of Motown and other Top-40 records) they broadcasted out of Windsor, Canada, where they could blast it without any of the American limits. When we went on family vacations to New Hampshire, we could still get a signal on our car radio all the way across the NY border. Good stuff…
AHhhhooooooooooooo lol. The Midnight Special.
Possibly, but we watch Fox, CNN, MSNBC and our networks are affiliated with your ABC CBS etc..and have for the decades I have lived in Canada.
We do do have the CRTC which is a government agency that regulates content.
Cheers!
I used to listen to The Wolfman under the blanket when I was a teen! He was also on American Forces radio in Alaska and Thailand! Thanks for the link and Clap for The Wolfman!!’

Bringing Canada into the U.S. would be a political triumph for the Dems. Assuming each current province comes in as a State, and the Yukon/NWT/Nunavut as one combined State, the Dems would pick-up at least 14 of the 24 new Senate seats and about 40 of the 58 House seats.
Each U.S. House seats has an average population of 750,000. Five of the new Canadian States would be allotted one seat each under our Constitution. The remaining six new States would be entitled to about 53 seats among them.
This is exactly why Trump only offers them admittance as a single state.
That changes nothing, Canada would still have 50+ electoral college votes. And they’d be going to AOC in the next presidential election.
You put them in as a Territory like Puerto Rico, that way they can’t vote in our National elections.
That is one really offensive Time Magazine cover. If PDJT is going to swat the hornets nest of globalists and increase opposition to his Administration then it becomes more imperative that he focus (directly or indirectly) on the 2026 races. He cannot afford to lose the House. MAGA base will do their part but the Administration has to do theirs. Two parts: Election integrity and the reform of the RNC.
I agree, that cover is offensive, but what can one expect from such a biased, self-righteous and sludgy publication? Carney will live to deeply regret it.
Is it for real? I’m sure Time Ragazine can edit a photo anyway they want.
I get information on industrial liquidations and bankruptcies as part of the work I do. It seems lately that many more of them are Canadian shops and manufacturers.
Canada’s chickens are coming home to roost.
“Canadas chickens are coming home to roost”.
Yep.
Hopefully those chickens lay lots of eggs so Leaflanders don’t run short like those naughty Americans did after they defied the NWO by re electing PDJT. /s
The ridiculous sounding 51st State comment, when seen in context, makes perfect sense.
Too bad Canada, we don’t want a bunch of Leftist as part of our country!
Trump knows that China, with its foot in the door, will overtake them and China would be our new neighbor with a Canadian mask.
A possible negotiation ploy
Ok. Keep Borderzone Canada as some kind of Gaza Strip buffer zone.
In return, America gets the Arctic Territories of Canada as a kind of Greenland 2.0
Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money….
Socialism is a disease and needs to be exterminated….like the vermin which brough the black plague…
I say until Socialism is repudiated let them suffer….
NO MERCY!
I do wonder about a possible plank in our own eye as we look at Canada being de-industrialized. 2 simple points – lead smelters, and even more so tool and die. We have suffered our own brain drain. I could go further but those are 2 HUGE items (bullets, and tools/hardware). We don’t have a smelter (closed last one during Obama I believe), and all the tool/die operations moved to China.
Tool & die makers are very creative, inventive people.
It’s all worth it for Canada.
They get to virtue signal over the climate change scam.
How funny is it that climate change is not going to bring disaster to them but their false worship of it is.
Question SD:
Why doesnt America just turn off the tap to Canada now if it can only survive on American financial support? If the problem is to much greenbacks flowing to Canada now it behooves America to stop it.
This is like sports owners saying player salaries are grossly excessive but the owners are ones who are making the offers and paying the money.
Neil Oliver and Journalist David Krayden discuss the implications of Canada electing globalist, climate-freak Carney. No surprise, Sundance nails it again.
Enlightening discussion!
Look, this is all the plan!! Alberta will NOT separate but carney will bend the knee once enough tattle taking and fear mongering makes people pee their pants. Then Trump will allow Carnage to ‘ save face’ by making an agreement that seems like Carney fought hard….which is total bull sheet and will be what Trump wants after all. This is the way politics goes….. Pierre was a coward, likely always has been a coward and that is why he lost. I also believe the ‘C02 crsis’ will succeed, go away slowly and the next issue will be WATER. The Us needs out water. Carney and Trudeau can keep the ‘oil’ in the ground but you cannot stop the water. The New CEO of the WEF, is the CEO from Nestles. The worst human bully is about water usage while filling plastic bottles by the ga-zillions (made from oil, polluting the entire world) and selling it for huge profits to the thirsty Africans. The world needs to turn off the Tv. Do some homework. Wake up peeps or you will pay to drink water, pay prices out of our possibilities for energy, starve, yet we will continue to fall over backwards to help China grow and win more power here in the greatest country of the world.
When you are used to a life of privilege, receiving equal treatment feels like oppression. I have this dynamic playing out in my personal life – that person is crying, whining, and carrying on about how “mean” I have become since I stopped indulging them and demanded reciprocity in our relationship. They’re in the FO moment.
Canada, welcome to the above. I voted for this and am damn proud of it.
As for the 51st state – oh heck no. Never. Let them wallow in the bed they’ve made. They can either grow up on their own or grovel to be a territory, like Guam or Puerto Rico. No representation in Congress, no vote for President.
Hard to believe driving to AK will involve travel through enemy territory. Will our lives and property be safe?
Driven through Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, New York city, LA, Seattle, Portland, or any other big US city lately?
I say that as I’m a small town country boy at heart and have never felt that safe and secure in the big cities, but feel they have devolved even further and they actually feel like “enemy territory” to me now.
So I don’t think you’ll be any less safe driving to Alaska.
So the implication of all this is that the US subsidizes Canada via non-reciprocal trade policy, and by providing a defense umbrella. What is the annual net “value to Canada”/”cost to the US” of the current situation?
Were Canada to join the US as, figuratively, the 51st state (but more like a group of states paralleling the current provinces), after “normalization” to the US legal, regulatory, tax, political, and economic regimen, what would Canada’s contribution to GDP become? Would there be an upside “synergy”, or would Canada just become a direct burden? Certainly the niche of being a passthrough for China as an assembler/packager would be over. What would they do to create value?
They have lots of natural resources, right? Even so, their politics would be a huge liability.
Good question. I believe as a State(s) Canada would bring nothing to the table monetarily but debt; what debt is on their books now, 40 million more due Social Insecurity. Socially, Canada would give the US, 1 million foreigners (not Canadians) that would be grandfathered in as “Canadians”, 25 million people with a woke mindset. I would, as a US citizen, gladly take the other 15 million Canadians who are hard-working, salt-of-the-earth good people.
I think the natural resources of Canada would be welcomed and their timber. It goes without saying, but syrup is a commodity they could bring to the table (pun intended) 🤣.
Incorporating Canada is a Democrat dream. I can’t think of a worse idea. They are feigning their hatred of DT, they hope he pulls this off.
Excellent explanation SD.
Canada will not survive this trade was just like China will not survive it. Canada needs to become a territory of the US.
MAGA
No, thank you. 🙏. We don’t need any more blue states.
We do NOT want Canada to be the 51st state. It would be like adding another California or New York to America. If Canada had been a US state in 2024, Trump would not be President today.
And the democrats would have the house. And with a substantial majority.
Canada’s problems would have been US within a very few years if not for our splendid PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP and ALL of his supporters!!!!! MAGA!!!
I really don’t want a bunch of cucked leftists as American citizens. I could see taking the western provinces. Ontario , Québec , and Maritime provinces no way !
I really don’t care for French Canadians at all ! Obnoxious people !
Premier Danielle Smith vows to protect Alberta against ‘future hostile acts’ from Ottawa after Liberal victory | CBC News
Prophetic Dream: Canada – The Reforging has begun! 05.01.2025 | TheCanadianHammer.com–-Barry Wunsch has a Prophetic Dream of all the other Canadian Parties joining in Unity:
“…The scene in the dream changed again and I was taken high over Canada and saw the biggest story in it all! The orphans in Canada who had no place to call home were being awakened! This grass roots movement is arising across the land, with a purity, passion and resolve that has not been seen before.
This is not politics. This is a reformation! The United Party of Canada is being unleashed to rebirth Canada! Welcome to another 1776!
The Supremacy of God and the Rule of Law shall once again stand in Canada! Truth, Justice, and Righteousness shall again stand in the land. Canada shall be saved!” …….
Rest in the Vine: Canada Can! –and A Drag on the Dragon: Let My People Live!
$2.1 trillion and shrinking.
I don’t recall seeing a single thing in my house that says “Made in Canada”. It’s hard to engage in a trade war when you don’t actually make anything to trade.
The only thing I had Canadian was a bottle of Seagram’s VO.
I bought a Made in Canada gel mattress in 2012. It was great. I think Canada still makes them. But of course you can’t run an economy on mattresses…
Unless you’re an Italian Canadian, and you go to the mattresses. 🤣
Unfortunately, the gravy train is over. The tough choise had to be made, and only President Trump was willing to make it — no more subsidizing the entire world, and that includes Canada. The problem that they have been caught up short is their problem for them to figure out. We have our own financial problems (which Canada and other contributed to) and PDJT has no choice but to put USA first. We need the money!
So, as Trudope adhered to, “you’ll own nothing and be happy”….Canada is about to find out as that motto they voted for is now the motto they will live by.
The chips will fall for everyone.
We are trying to close-out a coup d’etat, and we have a criminal government that we are trying to replace. We don’t have time to even talk to Canada. If they want to go their own way, that is their business. Who cares?
“Who cares?”
Good question.
Perhaps the people who realize that this is a WORLD WIDE war with the Euros Ancien Regime that now calls itself the NWO and who realize that its the NWO that stages “coup d’ etats” everywhere, including the ongoing one in America?
Why didn’t President Trump do this from the beginning?
No mention of China’s organized crime, drugs, and money laundering there.
“Why didn’t President Trump do this from the beginning”
Because he’s NOT suicidally stupid.
Or childishly impatient.
Thank God.
We have to avoid acquiring Vancouver as it is full of 1st Generation Chinese mainlanders. We have our own now, not including Biden’s contribution, the Fujian Province “diaspora” of the 1990s and early 2000s.
I love Canada and Canadians. Good people , beautiful country , but another example of globalist , socialist programs that have ruined this country and in a lot of ways ours..
Canada will just cling more to China and will be a base of operations for all things Chinese, including spies.
China, very soon, is not going to have the money to continue its “ownership” of Canada. They have 1.4 billion
peopleslaves/subjects within China to feed and weld into their apartments.“Canada will just cling more to China”.
They will try =/= they will succeed.
Imho. Their chances of succss are, at best, ZERO.
Canada’s a subject of the UKEU,so besides being ANTI America, Canadas ANTI Russia + ANTI India + ANTI Arab States.
As PDJT famously told Zalensky, Canada ” has NO cards to play” in this Global Game. And neither does its UKEU masters.
Reality is a place where pretend doesn’t always work.
Maybe this is the b%tch slap that Canada needs in order to awaken from its progressive sleepwalking into dissolution.
Ever since the Canadian government got away with the way they treated the protesting truckers during Covid, I’ve had no use for Canada. It was appalling authoritarianism. Plus, they violated the rights of US citizens that donated, as well.
My sympathies go out to the Good Canadians that understand things realistically, but I’ve no sympathy for the Trudeau and Carney supporting commies.
War such an ugly word. Still, nothing like a good fight to keep the American spirit achieving.
Seems as though the Mexicans know which side the bread is buttered on. Too bad Canada is stuck on their own arrogance.
Thanks for moving this to the top! A remarkably insightful take on the Canadian situation which I have recommended widely.
Yes, the U.S. is Canada’s largest trading partner and the two economies are deeply integrated, but Canada’s economy is diverse and it has trading relationships beyond the U.S. (EU, UK, Asia-Pacific). It will be fine.
That the upcoming negotiations will “collapse” Canada’s economy if Trump demands bilateral agreements feels dramatic.
Sales to US customers account for more than 75% of all Canadian exports. Their next biggest customer is China at about 4%, and nearly all of that is crude oil. There is no replacement for the American market available to Canadian manufacturers. Without the US, Canada’s only exports of any value are oil and gold.
So far we have learned that we are supporting WHO, the UN, CNN, ABC, Harvard, Yale and now Canada? Let them all fall.
MAGA, Baby!
Sundance, I commend this article about Canada and an energy-based mutual path forward to you:

Canadians should’ve been paying better attention
Canada is weird. I’ve been trying to understand for years how they have insane housing prices on House Hunters and other such shows. The Canadian couple will have a 1.2 million+ budget for a house and they are like school teacher and a regular white collar office guy.
How high are the salaries in Canada? How do they afford they cost of living up there?
One Canadian dollar is worth about 72 cents US. $1.2 million Canadian is $864K US. So that’s part of it anyway.
The “conservatives” of Canada should be glad they “lost” this election so the leftists can own their downfall.
