As previously outlined, Canada is so entrenched with their ‘orange man bad’ syndrome, they just cannot get out of their own way on stupid trade decisions. {GO DEEP}
You might remember Mexico retreating from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) development following the November 2024 election of Donald Trump.
China was on the cusp of investing $5 to $7 billion in new EV manufacturing in Mexico, when President Trump announced he would impose massive tariffs to block any import of Chinese EVs made in Mexico. Trump won the election and together China and Mexico scrapped their plan.
Europe then stepped on the Chinese EV rake and began purchasing carbon credits from Chinese EV companies to avoid the “climate change” auto goals and subsequent fines to EU car companies for not hitting EV production targets. In essence, Europe is paying Chinese EV companies for carbon credits, thereby subsidizing lower priced Chinese EVs in Europe. The EU is paying China to destroy their own auto industry.
Now, it’s Canada’s turn.
As a result of President Trump asserting tariffs against imported autos, the large auto companies are abandoning plans to build or expand auto manufacturing in Canada. The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump.
With increased tariffs against Canada, and with the likely dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) coming in the near future, the Canadian govt of Mark Carney has been traveling the world to find alternative markets for their goods and services. The main targets for new Canadian economic and trade relations are the U.K, EU and China.
In a deal to expand the trade relationship with China, the Canadian government of Mark Carney is now proposing to drop tariffs against Chinese EVs in a deal to sell more pork and canola oil. That’s correct, in essence Canada will take the EV auto business abandoned by Mexico.
This was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s grand plan as he attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia.
Keep in mind, as we have outlined all along during Trump’s trade reset, the USMCA is going to be abandoned in favor of two bilateral free trade agreements; one with Mexico and one with Canada.
As outlined in the Mexican decision to cancel EV investment, Mexico is aligning for a favorable trade relationship with President Trump and the USA.
The Mexican govt can see the benefits and accepts their regional dependency to the world’s largest consumer market. However, Canada is doing exactly the opposite and increasing the disconnect between Canada and the United States on key sectors of trade and commerce.
Canada may benefit in the short term from sales of pork and canola to Beijing, while simultaneously gaining Chinese investment in cobalt mining and auto development for EVs. But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.
[BACKGROUND HERE] – [Canada/Chinese EV Deal Here]
Way to go, Canada! Just as everyone figures out EVs are a waste of time and money –
What’s next? Backyard wind turbines?
Today, Boca Raton was innundated with torrential rains, turning streets into rivers and up north a bit, it was reported West Palm Beach airport was shut down for a bit—-plus FPL can’t go a week w/o a power outage somewhere….Canada might have a marketing problem in So FL??? The batteries are not compatible with water? Or is it salt water?
I look at it from the perspective of the toxic runoff from tires that are pulverized under the heft and torque of the EVs ripping around non stop all over Florida roadways.
As if we don’t have enough poison to catalogue and try and avoid working its way into our food and water.. also these jokers are raising my Electric Bill charging their Remote Control cars,
The holier than thou EV owners don’t pay any of that pesky road use tax at the pump, but complain about the upkeep, cue Ron White.
Hey Cuz,,
Check this out, am involved in this, been a long time coming. Deals with the issues of roadway run off.
This company is rocking.

I’m sure at least 50% of electricity is made with coal and natural gas, so half of the electric cars “run”on fossil fuel.⛽️
Anyway….
OK , I agree with the source of energy you point out, my point was and is that the EV car owners don’t pull up to a pump.
As such they are not paying their “fair share” toward the road taxes that supposedly go to road maintenance and improvement.
The BS marketing term “Fossil Fuel” needs to be gone!
It’s a hydro carbon complex.
Sinclair Petroleum”s sweet Dino bs still carries on.
Always remember this—we will run out of oil right after they quite finding more.
Indeed. EVs belch their emissions while sitting still… charging.

Water + electric circuits = electrical short circuits.
Immersing a lithium-ion battery in an EV, is just asking for trouble with the thousands of individual cells comprising the typical battery pack. Only takes one or two cells overheating above a certain temperature threshold to set the whole array on fire with predictable results.
+ corrosion from road salt
EV bomb.😳
The record for cargo ships lost to EVs spontaneously catching fire speaks for itself.
This link is for one of the more recent ones. https://evxl.co/2025/06/30/cargo-ship-sinking-loss-ev-industry/
And think of all that lithium in the ocean now.
The batteries are not compatible with cold weather, either.
Yep. Owning to a sh!tbox EV in Canadiastan is like owning a Hellcat Challenger. It’ll be fun to drive for 3 months or so..
Hey Cuz,
There’s a joke in there about riding a Vespa and a Lizzo type.
LOL
Was at ranch little south of you putting up rolls of hay to get cows thru the dry times, wasn’t paying attention to weather here at home.
Called this morning while driving east, was informed of the down pour.
Still getting some now, more on the way.
Still better than the dry times.
We were lucky this year, got the rain in spurts with no wind and destruction.
Nice to see all the fields planted, strawberries, onions, peppers.
Corn and watermelon coming in from Belle Glade, tomatoes are in.
Have a bunches of bananas and passion fruit.
And the Painted Buntings have made it back from Carolina with their newest offspring.
Have Mexican Eagles at the ranch, don’t want to deport them. LOL
Even better solar panels for Canada 😉
10 percent of the autos sold in US are EV’s and growing
Well, that’s certainly not true. Family member in this industry says “the EV’s just sit there, and every so often they go and put 2% battery life in them.”
Why are they not going on a truck or train somewhere? Because nobody wants them.
true. https://www.coxautoinc.com/insights-hub/q3-2025-ev-sales-report-commentary/

We’re going to need a big beautiful Northern border wall.
Don’t think Canada as presently constituted is going to last long enough to require 5,525 miles of wall for the current US-Canada border.
We’ll see one way or another.
More the need for the wall!
What we need is a big, beautiful river between Canada and the US.
That way we can have Northern Wetbacks…
Just sayin’
Hopefully for the Canadians Carney’s government will not be able to pass a budget and get booted.
I prefer a man who wears cuff links.
Canada really really needs to throw the shovel out of that hole they’re digging themselves into….
They are going to be so broke or such a simp to China SMDH.
Don’t think the USA can accept a satellite of China on its northern border much less share military goals with it.
It’s beyond time to remove all U.S. auto manufacturing in Canada.
The carpetbagger in Canada is just following his WEF globalist orders
How does one even know where to start? Everything about this is totally hilarious. What the Europeans are doing to themselves. What the Canadians are in the process of doing to themselves. The Chinese laughing all the way to the bank. Every bit of it is just totally hilarious.
Still, we were on that course under Biden and we all must stand strong against that happening again to the USA.
Short sighted Canadians elected a globalist banker who wants to guide the sleeping sheeple into “Managed Decline.” Not enough Canadians are actually aware of Carney’s goal to ruin their economic well being.
Purchasing carbon credits from the world’s worst polluter, and decimating your nation’s economy in the process. If that isn’t 4D chess, I don’t know what is.
Justin Trudeau, the worst Canadian PM in history.
Mark Carney: Hold my beer. Eh?
That’s not 4D chess. It’s more like playing tiddly winks with manhole covers.
Remember the manhole cover blasted into space with the nuclear test.
Thats kinda the odd path canada is on.
Their gonna blow their economy into space like a manhole cover via china.😂
But look at it this way: Justin is the new squeeze-of-the-month of pop tart Katy Perry! You see …. he’s accomplished BIG THINGS …. He’s her new poodle-boy.
Well if we can’t have Canada as the 51st state, how about we see if the people in Greenland want to be the 51st?
Will Canada become the ChiCom Great White North instead of America’s 51st State?
These are indeed “interesting times.”
Canada is turning itself into East-Manchuria
Will we react to a Canada/China alliance as Russia did to the Ukraine/NATO alliance?
No, rather we will seize Ottawa for breakfast and accept Carney’s surrender by dinner. Elbow up, eh?
As a result of President Trump asserting tariffs against imported autos, the large auto companies are abandoning plans to build or expand auto manufacturing in Canada. The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump.
They’re “angry” alright, but shouldn’t they be scared? Or at the very least, hyper concerned? Been watching Canadian political ‘influencers’ on YouTube of late, and I’m flummoxed by their lack of clarity on their situation.
These commentators are articulate and perfectly pleasant young-ish patriots. But I’m noticing their analyses lands on either: 1)It’s the immigrants. We’d be peaches without them; 2) Carney is corrupt & won’t get us a deal bc he benefits without one, or 3) Some combo of “our politicians are unserious goofs /the government is filled with too many liberals who don’t understand what’s needed for the country to prosper.
All that’s well and good, but I’ve yet to hear one state the inherent and inevitable danger of becoming the satellite state of a foreign enemy to the United States. Shocking.
Europe then stepped on the Chinese EV rake and began purchasing carbon credits from Chinese EV companies to avoid the “climate change” auto goals and subsequent fines to EU car companies for not hitting EV production targets. In essence, Europe is paying Chinese EV companies for carbon credits, thereby subsidizing lower priced Chinese EVs in Europe. The EU is paying China to destroy their own auto industry.
My guess is that Canada’s auto “industry” is pretty lame. They’re not giving up what the EU is giving up.
That said, screw Canada. They don’t have anything that I want. If they were true allies, I’d buy Canadian products, but as it stands let them hit bottom.
Canadians were the ones that killed the Alaskan Cruise business during Covid – foreign flagged (Bahamas) cruise ships have to stop at one port o/s US. Canada screwed over Alaskans for 2 full years.
Canadians are wreched tippers when dining out, so are liberals. Both not to be trusted.
The snake – China all ready to eat Carney’s lunch

Go Carney. They’re killing us with fentanyl, so kill ’em with seed oils. Hey – I’m a “glass half full” kind of guy.
Good point. Canola oil is poison ☠️
Look up in your book of famous phrases “you just can’t fix stupid.” No real explanation is given, just a picture of Carney.
What’s the over/under Trump will wack those EV’s with if any sort of deal like this comes to pass???

Cry me a river.
Not liking the CCP being in our hemisphere let alone on our border.
Canada is betting that Trump and MAGA are out of office in 3 years and will be replaced by another globalist Democrat administration that will remove all tariffs on Canada.
Canada cannot economically last 1 year, let alone 3. Wishing for unicorns, rainbows and puppies.
What the heck kind of gesture is Carney intending?
Whatever, it’s really strange….maybe a movie or Maynard G Krebs imitation?
Or Snidely Whiplash?
Maybe some sort of beta signage?
Carney knows vere -hiss- money cums vrum. Zoe he zinks to hell vis his own cunztree.
MAGA! FAFO!
EV’s will flop in the land of perpetual freezing temps.
Canadia are finding themselves in more trouble than a solar farm in the Yukon.
Or a submarine with a screen door.
Alberta has flirted with independence before, and “while support for full secession fluctuates, recent legislative changes have lowered the threshold for a referendum, increasing the movement’s political potential.”
Canola oil was originally used as a lubricant for engines and machinery before it became popular as a cooking oil
Picking a small nit: But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.
Never say never. If, God forbid, the Democrats should win the Presidency in 2028, you know good and well their first order of business will be to undo everything PDJT did by EO. Again.
Given how poorly EV’s do in cold weather I think short of the Arctic there couldn’t be a worse place in the world to try and push EV’s onto a populace. But hey, Carney is not known for his brain except in the negative.
I think Ontario will be a country in and by itself. I think the rest of Canada is about ready to start their own country.
Communist Canada is collapsing. Their concept of nationhood is undeveloped, blurry. They are in a state of panic.
Maybe the failure of this trade policy will finally wake up Canadian citizens to what they did to themselves by electing these clowns. Maybe Carney annd his merry band are playing the gamble of hoping the Dems win in 2026 and 2028 and reverse the Trump trade deals and tariffs. That’s a big economic gamble though. Im thinking that a harsh lesson is about to drop on their heads. Good luck Canada.
I disagree that Canada (and the EU, UK et al) are making “stupid trade decisions” – they are making purposely self-destructive decisions based upon their leftist, globalist plan to level the West. They are not “making mistakes”, they are intent on making the new Communism.
I’m pretty sure the recent additional 10% tariff was just as much about Carney signalling he was going to turn to China for a trade deal as it was about Premier Ford’s anti tariff ads. It is true that Canada has been difficult to negotiate with for several years. The Trudeau trade team was the same.
I listen to a few Canadian podcasters and they are vehemently calling out Canada’s trade negotiations and giving many of the same warnings Sundance is. Poilievre, the Canadian Conservative leader is doing the same in interviews and in the House of Commons.
The Premier of PEI is calling for an investigation of CCP buying up PEI farmland under the guise of Buddhist colonies. This alarm is being raised primarily because of a recent book exposing it.
Canada Under Siege: How PEI Became a Forward Operating Base for the Chinese Communist Partyby Garry Clement
There is another book coming out next month that is already a bestseller about Chinese infiltration of Canada.
Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China’s Secret War Against Canada by Dennis Molinaro.
Reporter Sam Cooper’s book ‘Willful Blindess’ was a Canadian bestseller and exposed CCP influence in Canada with regard to money laundering and drug trafficking. He has been reporting on these things for many years and his reports have influenced investigations, which the Liberal party has managed to downplay and sweep under the rug even while admitting that malfeasance was happening because they were forced to.
The point I am making here is that the word is getting out in Canada and not everyone up here is a Trump or US hater.
Personally I believe that America is in the beginning of a huge economic boom. I believe this because of all the investment money that is pouring into the United States right now and America has Trump and his tariffs to thank for that. I”m all for it because I want America to beat China in economy and in military. This is nothing new for me. I was concerned about China becoming a superpower in competition with America long before Trump ever came along.
While America’s economy is booming, Canada’s economy will be simultaneously failing and I believe that will have a huge effect on Canadians and will probably do more than anything else to shake them out of their ridiculous socialist leanings. That is my prediction but we’ll see how it all turns out. Keeping my fingers crossed. 🤣
“Hey Canada…” with apologies to Canadian people of goodwill and sound mind.
You know how Mark can make lots of money for his Chinese Communist Party friends?
Mandate Canadians drive cheap EVs.
It doesn’t matter that during winter east of the Rockies they’re darn near useless.
Where I live in Canada, a region Americans call the Pacific Northwest, it’s fine, we only get about two weeks of snow each winter.
So there’s that.
Unabashedly stupid. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
As a Canadian, I’ll give you yanks a little intel dump about how our regime works.
The Liberal Party of Canada was created for and continues to exclusively work for the interests of Quebec/Ontario and our Central Canadian oligarchs aka “The Laurentian Elite”. For The Party the provinces and territories outside Quebec and Ontario only matter as either milch cows like Alberta or dependencies like the Maritime provinces deliberately kept poor and in line for handouts. The Party looted Alberta in the 1980s through the socialist National Energy Program because Alberta was becoming too wealthy while socialist Central Canada was a basket case. Economic power=political power so take the money away. The Party deliberately decimated the East coast fisheries, coal industry and offshore oil to keep the Easterners dependent on Ottawa. The Laurentian Elites began selling out to China starting in the 1990s with the help of The Party.
Under Trudeau Canada became a de facto Chinese puppet state with CCP members sitting in parliament. America’s “Great NATO Ally” got caught training PLA pilots and troops in NATO tactics. The current situation would have happened regardless of who was POTUS.
Thanks, great inside baseball.
You summed it up beautifully Len.
The EU, and by extension, Canada are on the verge of bankruptcy. This is just the next move to accelerate the process so they can get to their great reset and digital ID. Otherwise, this current state they are in will linger for another 30-40 years.
What everyone forgets is that Carney has near total control of Canada’s media.
Canadians are being told how, clever and brilliant the TV ad was.
Canadians still don’t know Trudope’s airplane to India broke down due to the huge amount of cocaine on board the plane.
Canada is really a nothing burger! A little 2 trillion economy.
The timing of this is ironic as we beat them in baseball last night and we did it with a Chinese guy.
he is Japanese
From same area of the world but it was an American who finished the job with the hr last night.
And the right name for an American Free Man
Freddie was born in Canada. Oh No!
“Electric vehicles don’t work.” We have no way to power them. You lose energy when you charge a battery, and then again when you discharge it, and there is no “free, clean” source of power that can charge them at night. Your “clean” electric car is actually powered by “dirty” coal.
Canada might not like it that they are being plainly called out for stupid trade and energy decisions, but, “we didn’t make them.”
Canada is the second largest nation on earth by surface area, and it has enormous power and potential. But, it also right now has exceptionally poor government. That’s a problem that the Canadian people need to begin to address at their ballot boxes. The problem is not the nation – it’s the people who are now running it. Into the ground …
Well at least the Canucks will have plenty of scrap to fill those holes left by the mines when all those EV’s batteries turn to junk in a few years.
Hes a weenie! He is not match for trump.
Canada reminds me of Monty Python movies. Way to go. Next, they’ll catapult cows over the border, lol.
😂😂
Concerning Stupidity vs. Deliberate Destruction:
as noted by several people above, Carney and others of his ilk are NOT stupid, although it certainly seems that way,
They are deliberately destroying their countries, with the intention of fashioning an Orwellian Totalitarian World State from the ashes, with themselves at the top of course, and millions of gray-clothed slaves at the bottom.
This is why The United States is such a threat, as it always has been to Communism/Totalitarianism: Freedom will always outdo Communism because people are FREE and therefore generally HAPPY in their lives.
History shows that slave-labor produces the worst quality of work, whether producing food or goods. You will also have fewer goods and lower quality from slave labor, because slaves are 1. NOT Free, and 2. NOT Happy!
Not to be forgotten: Creativity will be stifled or driven to extinction, thereby keeping the society stagnant or forcing it to decline.
A society raising up Mediocrity and Incompetence as goals, a society lionizing Stagnation or even Regression as Progress, will not persist. Brutality and Fear will work only so long.
Cover the world in concrete, if you must, but eventually a crack will appear, and in that crack, a seed will sprout into a flower. Over 60 years ago, one of my Catholic nuns in grade school used this image to predict the end of Communism.
(I always thought she was quoting a Russian poet perhaps: I cannot find a source. The best I can find is that Leonard Cohen used the image of a crack to allow in a beam of light. Possibly, however, she created the image herself.)
Canada will not be setting up Chinese EV manufacturing plants here anytime soon. You may think we are being disrespectful and uncooperative but we aren’t as stupid as you think(just our politicians). Canada imported $15.52 billion worth of US autos in 2024–2025, about 26.2% of all US auto exports. If you blow up the auto industry part of the USMCA, which will increase the cost of those autos, who are you going to sell those cars to? Canadians won’t buy them. Canada consistently leads as the major export destination for vehicles made in the US.
“USMCA” was merely a stopgap to immediately replace “NAFTA,” which absolutely had to go. But it was always meant to be temporary, because Mexico and Canada are radically different nations.
It is obvious that the intent of both agreements was to facilitate the importation of foreign goods by masquerading them as Mexican or Canadian products. And to exploit “cheaper” labor costs for “final assembly.” Under a single agreement, countries like China had two choices.
Under Trump, both of these exploitative objectives are doomed. Mexico will have one agreement, and Canada will have another. But they will no longer be the same.
Ok, that is interesting, but who are you going sell those autos to? You are not just going to keep selling more expensive autos to Canada at the same rate as you are presently. We won’t buy them. There are other sources and other countries are already making autos in Canada
As just one example of US selling cars to other countries, Japan is now going to buy Ford F-150’s.
Other Tariff agreements have now negotiated US autos being allowed in countries that have never accepted US autos.
”They are buying a small fleet. This move is largely symbolic and seen as a diplomatic gesture to strengthen economic ties and improve the trade relationship between the two countries. While the F-150 is not typically sold in Japan due to market preferences and practical challenges like narrow streets, Japan’s government is contemplating using these trucks for specific purposes such as inspecting roads and infrastructure. The plan has gained attention as a political symbol, and Ford has expressed enthusiasm about introducing the F-150 to government and work customers in Japan.” (Perplexity)
I mean… you will buy them. Just like people will keep buying tariffed autos here in the US from Europe or Japan or Korea.
Perhaps not as many will be bought, but that would be temporary. If you have traveled around Europe or Asia recently and seen all these “Fabulous, but cheap! Can’t believe it is so cheap!” Chinese EVs… well yes, you Canadians will likely at first be buying TONS of those..until they all stop working and they break like Chinese toys do.
I wish you all well, but Canada doesn’t have a “F YOU, USA” out, in the current or even near-future situation. The entire concept of Canada as presently constituted doesn’t naturally work. It only “worked” based on Communist Americans’ charity the last several decades.
Nope. You want us to buy them tariff free you make them in Canada, period. Sound familiar? Donald said that referencing the US
Oh Canada! Literally scraping the bottom of the barrel. Quite a pathetic look, but, ya know, “elbows up,” and all BS. 😂
Oh Canada will be changed to Screw Canada
Elbows up is now the official motto of Canada.
No one benefits except the globalists and Canada is so screwed by design.
