In the world of Trumpian geopolitical trade stuff, three issues are very interesting to watch. (1) The strategic reset with Russia which could break the official western construct of financial control. (2) The proactive and defensive positioning of Mexico (desperate attempt to retain economic attachment), and (3) the certain dissolution of the USMCA what Canadians call CUSMA.
Canadian media are starting to realize something we have talked about on these pages for years; President Trump intends to end the USMCA because the USMCA was used as a fracture point to eliminate NAFTA.
Wall Street, the U.S. Congress, the massive K-Street lobbying network around the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the entire political apparatus of business and industry would never permit the end to NAFTA; too many trillions at stake. So, President Trump replaced NAFTA with the interim USMCA, which was better but factually more useful in elimination of the original.
Now, as we have discussed by highlighting President Trump’s no-so-subtle words on the issue, the Canadian media is realizing the USMCA will be dissolved in favor of two independently negotiated bilateral trade agreements; one with Canada and one with Mexico.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING
Trump signals that he could EXIT from USMCA entirely.
This is EXTINCTION LEVEL to Canada.
He going to do it. I have a strong feeling about this.

(CTV) – U.S. President Donald Trump could decide next year to withdraw from the Canada-United States-Mexico trade agreement (CUSMA), Politico reported on Thursday, citing U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
“The president’s view is he only wants deals that are a good deal. The reason why we built a review period into CUSMA was in case we needed to revise it, review it or exit it,” Greer told Politico’s White House bureau chief Dasha Burns in a podcast episode that airs Friday.
Greer also raised the idea of negotiating separately with Canada and Mexico and dividing the agreement into two parts in the podcast, adding that he spoke with Trump about that possibility just this week.
The White House, Canadian and Mexican governments did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.
Trump on Wednesday said that the CUSMA agreement – which faces an upcoming review- will either be left to expire or another deal will be worked out.
The USMCA, which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement in 2020 and was negotiated during Trump’s first term as president, requires the three countries to hold a joint review after six years. (link)
I have talked to a lot of Canadians on the issues of economics and trade. As a result, I can say with complete sincerity that not since the COVID-19 examples of New Zealand (lockdowns) and Australia (vaxx), has a nation engaged in such a level of mass cognitive dissonance as the govt of Canada on the issue of economics and trade – in the past few years. It is stunning.
To understand the reality of the situation Here’s an IN-DEPTH LINK. Apparently, few really understand the full scope of the issues.
For those who have followed along with the U.S-Canada trade positioning, the current status of conflict between the Trump administration and the government of Canada is not surprising. {GO DEEP}
Going all the way back to the replacement of NAFTA, with the USMCA, President Trump always said he did not favor multilateral trade deals with multiple countries; instead, he preferred bilateral free trade agreements.
Some people have construed the bilateral preference of President Trump to be the elimination of globalism in favor of nationalism in trade agreements.
While the outcome of the Trump approach indeed aligns with that theme, it is not specifically the objective of President Trump to eliminate global trade, but rather to focus on specific interests in trade that benefit the unique nature of each party involved.
As a result, the USMCA -or CUSMA as said in Canada- is not in alignment with a bilateral free trade agreement, and the conflicted differences between trade with Mexico and trade with Canada are an outcome of this dynamic. The solution is simply to eliminate the multilateral in favor of the bilateral approach. This is the objective of President Trump as expressed.
There is zero leverage on the Canadian side of the trade negotiation, zero.
There is nothing that Canada provides to the USA that the USA cannot create, produce or secure independently. The nature of the economic relationship is entirely lopsided, with the USA getting nothing in return for the massive outflow of U.S. dollars (USD).
Our trade relationship with Canada is based on the U.S. government simply liking our northern neighbor and giving them terms and conditions for their economy to benefit from proximity. Take the friendship out of the equation, which is key to understanding the polar political ideology of the two nations, and there is simply not much reciprocal trade benefit.
Take away the soft wood lumber, we have our own. Take away the oil, we have multitudes of domestic production options. Take away the minerals, again we have both our own unused capacities and enhanced trade agreements with other Free Trade Agreement nations.
Then look at the possibility of a strategic U.S-Russia economic alliance, and all those contracted icebreakers take on new meaning.
Some may think this is an overly harsh view of our Canadian friends. However, the Canadian majority believes in climate change and unfortunately leftist politicians control their industrial economy [SEE HERE].
Climate change is a cult belief, and Canada is in the middle of a mass formation psychosis. Canada needs to get hard, stop this global warming nonsense, dispatch cultural Marxism and put deliberate men in charge.
A Canadian conservative is essentially a milquetoast politically correct Mitt Romney; not strong enough to make a difference.
The best thing President Trump can do for our Canadian friends is to help strategic regions while their overall GREEN ENERGY economy collapses around them. Then we hope guys like this surface to rebuild the Great White North.
Carney will have a brief meeting with Trump Friday when the final draw ceremony for the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place.

LILLEY: What Carney should pitch Trump in D.C. to restart trade talks
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-what-carney-should-pitch-trump-in-d-c-to-restart-trade-talks
Hmm.
Lilley still living in the unicorn universe.
Yep
Brian Lilly is not to be taken seriously.
The only time Carney’s elbows will go up is while he is raising the white flag.
Carney should get used to a Canada that has an Independent Nation of Alberta in its mid-section.
Next, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are close on the heels of Alberta.
Get a globe, or an atlas, learn those place names and that geography, you’ll need it.
They will eventually become US States. (We can wean them off gov’t doctor stuff, fear thou naught.)
Along with Greenland.
Acquiring new territory is very necessary due to strategic missile flight paths, space weapon platforms, need for fresh water from ice flows, etc.
A nation needs to go big or go dependency.
Monroe Doctrine 2.0
Trump Doctrine Beta release.
It is about time these other countries start living with the true ramifications of the choices they make.
President Trump is going to do what is best for America.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Exactly. It is not time to use a saw when an axe is doing the job.
Doesn’t ANYONE remember what obamma promised about green energy?
“Under MY plan of cap and trade, electricity rates will NECESSARILY SKYROCKET”
I didn’t think so…
We all remember obama’s attempts at the utter destruction of America.
He is beyond repugnant – both to look at, and morally. Nothing redeeming about him whatsoever. Yet his diabolical narcissism shields him from his repugnant state, causing him to believe he’s suave, intellectual and oh-so-cool. He pretends to be something he is not.
He won’t outrun God.
johnny cash god’s gonna cut you down
Nice.
I pray for his conversion (and every other Godless slave to sin).
Is it likely? No.
But its good to reinforce a habit The Lord asked of his disciples; to love and pray for our enemies.
For I too am a sinner in need of mercy and their repentance would add to God’s joy.
If God wills it, then do I.
I reserve the right to make grumbly noises about it while I will it though.
Chris…lol and Amen!
^^^^!
none will.
I sure do along with his very first promise of “fundamentally changing America” as we know it. He certainly has tried very hard to do just that along with his cohorts in the govt, the globalists and the media drones. We the people have stopped the agenda somewhat by electing PDJT three times now. Let’s fight fight fight to keep it all going in the right direction.
2026 is a must win for Maga and republicans under Pres. Trump. A MUST WIN.
Obama effed up the whole darn world.
IMO
I understand that America needs to stop funding other countries economies.
But I’m not understanding comments that glibly tell Canadians too bad so sad for you.
So to any Canadian reading here, Americans do not delight in your situation. We were just a cackle away from it ourselves. We hope Canadia will change for the better.
May God help you get through this successfully.
Nice try at false equivalence.
I didn’t insult Canadians.
Oh come now, Ecclesiastes says there is a time for everything.
Schadenfreude…..
especially when backpfeifengesicht is in play
Not a single Canadian in existence gives two craps about what happens to me and mine. I return the feeling completely.
We all need to stop coddling our enemies because they talk, look and eat like us.
True conservative Canadians I of course support in their mission. However, there isn’t much we can really help them with other than ideas and money (personal donations, not US Govt. Money). Also, that is an extremely low relative amount of people.
I see the large majority of Canadians as subversive to our nation and a daily threat to continental security from both Muslim, Indian, Chinese immigration, and their willingness to sell out to China in military and espionage matters.
Also, again. THEY ARE COMMUNISTS trapped in a delusion. Can’t do much for those kind of people. I pity them.
I have Godly friends in Canada that are suffering greatly …I care about them and I know they care about all people in our world who are suffering because of their evil governments.
There are a great number of Canadians who don’t fall into your “not a single” statement. We have a number of them here at CTH. I pray for their futures along with ours.
Thank you. ❤️. Not all Canadians are the same. The Freedom convoy proves that. Alberta proves it. If Alberta secedes then Canada is gone. There is no Canada without Alberta. It’s likely that Saskatchewan and even BC would follow if it ever happens.
Personally, I’m not convinced yet that it will play out that way. There is still a chance that Canada will have a radical wake-up. I am excited to see that happen but it will take a very large shakeup and Trump is the man to do it.
if Canada does not wake-up then I will sadly say goodbye to it because I will not be part of the globalist agenda or contribute to it financially with taxes.
I suspect that B.C. would have to fracture…Vancouver/Vancouver Island would vote to stay with rottawa…flyover B.C. would join with a sovereign Alberta….perhaps like flyover America would do with a dissolution of the U.S.A.
What you need to try and understand is the difference between people — individuals and government.
We are giddy over the government getting what they deserve. The government has hurt this country and like the Europeans have sneered at us all the while. They sucked our wealth and at the same time acted like innocents.
None of us wish that individual Canadians suffer — except the sneering thieves that are or that supported their government.
Your second problem is you apparently weren’t directly harmed by Canadian government policies/demands. Where is your compassion for your fellow country men who were harmed? You sound like a democrat.
Well said Elle. We Americans have the upmost respect for the Canadians and wished them the best as you said we were one breath away from going down the same pass of Canada. Thank God we didn’t.,
Spot on Alleycats! Of course!
The man is 3 steps ahead of the world, and light years ahead of play acting, low IQ politicians.
He is driven with What is best for America and will never deviate.
To all true Americans – Yes, we do deserve him!
Exactly. Canada for decades has exported their subsidized lumber to the USA. This has significantly harmed the US forest and lumber/paper industry. Hopefully President Trump will encourage the US Forest Service to start harvesting our massive conifer base and allow the agency to make our forest productive with new growth. The harvest & road construction would increase better use of our US Forest lands with more jobs, multiple use recreational opportunities and lower cost of lumber products. Increase forest harvesting will increase wildlife/flora diversity, higher age class tree distribution and allow significatly better fire control…bill
Are any of the dead “bug” trees here in our forests of any commercial use? Sawdust at least?
On several parcels around me are patches of trees killed by bark beetles. We benefit greatly from them. I heat my shop and sometimes my house with wood heat. As things stand, we have an abundant supply of excellent dead standing trees we harvest for firewood.
Standing bug dead should be felled and control burned to reduce fuel load and planted…bill
If the US needs absolutely nothing from Canadia, then what the very special genius PDJT allows them to have, will be {revealing, educational, charitable, planned, targeted, transformational, ???}
We do need something with respect to Canada.
We need to control the North American landmass up to and including all the way to the northern waters.
There is now a wall shielding us from invasion from Mexico. Between that and operational control of the Gulf of America, the installation of the defense of our southern flank is nearly complete. The Cuban Commies, Venezuelan enemies, and Mexican cartels are very close to elimination on the shorter timeline now – look how neither Russia nor China is coming to Maduro’s rescue. Deals have already been made. Maduro is on his own, which means Cuba is also on its own. (What that means for Taiwan if it got exchanged in return, we shall see.)
The northern border is a mess, in contrast to the southern. Fentanyl is being pumped in to the US, the WEFers plan to double Canada’s population in short order by mass importing huge numbers of Indians, and British Columbia is now moving to seize the land of all the European heritage settlers through the fiction of returning the land to the Native American tribes (land confiscation).
Royal Canada is a national security threat. The heritage Canadians are being crushed. Yes, they are in a cult, but better them and bring them to their senses than the alternative.
We cannot build a northern wall. It is not defensible, given the length of that border.
We need to begin to understand, as POTUS does, that whenever the British East India Company retreated from an area of the world, it left X and anti-X, so that it could play them off against each other and keep its shadow regime going.
Canada is the anti-X to the USA’s X.
The British Empire did not die, and it never gave up its desire to eliminate us. We are a threat to them as a great land power. We are a threat to them as an ally to another great land power, Russia.
The American System is a threat to the British Empire system when it comes to economic structure and sovereignty.
And most of all, the United States foundation on the principle that All Men Are Created Equal and are Endowed by Their Creator with Certain Inalienable Rights and that governments are instituted among men to secure those rights is anathema to the European ruling class, especially the Brits. They cannot tolerate it. We have been under one form or another of attack for 250 years.
Bottom line:
We cannot be fully secure until Canada is de-Nazified and at least made neutral.
POTUS said Chucky was considering a deal (phrased as a deal for Golden Dome protection, but I think he meant a deal to get the hell out of North America for once and for all).
Let’s see what happens.
We hold all the cards right now. Our enemies are trying to deal themselves new ones by changing the facts on the ground.
Great post. Question, who is “Chucky?”
Charles III.
Apparently, according to reports, we are soon to have William II.
Because why not have Number II when the first one was so great of course – it’s not like he ordered the slaughter of an entire Scottish village or anything like that. /sarc
“Cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe, and covers the grave o’ Donald . . .”
Never forget.
Banker king from the Oranges in? Maybe we can get a banker king from the Oranges out – of Canada at least.
Got it.
Well, it would be quite suitable for an ethnic Scott, President Trump, to take down William II then, would it not? heheh.
Brilliant!
Indeed. Our very own orange man.
And when you hear “orange man bad”, you know he’s doing good.
BTW, I highly recommend (though I may be a tad biased) the book How the Scots Invented the Modern World by Arthur Herman.
Most of the time I don’t understand a thing of what you say on your post. I enjoyed the above post for once, and understood it until you threw in the Chucky. I don’t know why you want to be cute instead of understood most of the time but that’s just me I’m slow I guess. Thank God for President Donald Trump, who speaks and writes so even I can understand everything he says.
Instead of criticizing Alex who is making significant contributions to this site on a daily basis, you need to level up.
Maybe it’s time you started learning instead of blaming other people for areas where your background is limited. Go to prometheanaction.com to get a huge amount of information on this topic.
He is about the only one I don’t understand on this site. I understood everything he said above but I didn’t know what Chucky meant. Somebody else didn’t know what Chucky meant. I didn’t criticize him about background as I understood the post clearly. I criticized him about cryptic words. He throws cryptic words into his post almost every time that just turns me off because I have no idea what he’s talking about. Did you know what Alex meant by his Chucky comment? I was just trying to help Alex be less cryptic not criticize him. Have a great day everyone.
Yes I knew what Chucky referred to.
You didn’t limit yourself to saying you didn’t know what Chucky referred to.
You made a general comment that all his posts except this one were cryptic. That was a criticism and it was unwarranted.
Alex writes thoughtful and detailed comments and by doing so is a great contributor to this platform. I appreciate the time he takes to write about complicated subjects.
Unlike you who just jumps in and tries to make it someone else’s problem when you don’t understand something.
If you don’t understand something ask for clarification instead of criticizing someone who takes the time to write thoughtful posts.
Theres UPCHUCK (Schumer) and Chucky3
Both are vile
Apparently William is furious with KC3 for the way KC3 has exploited the Duchy of Cornwall when Chucky3 was Prince of Wales.
They had massive arguments about this and after one meeting William was shown sitting outside with his head in his hands for a while
KC3 Charged high rent to charities and govt orgs.
Didn’t build/fix roads/infrastructure
Didn’t provide homes for the poor and homeless
Apparently William is fixing all that.
Meanwhile that sod KC3 is cavorting with Islamists and lefty scum.
I feel sorry for William who is trying to do the right thing.
i said most of his post are cryptic and i dont understand most of his post. I understand your post. i understand all of President Trumps post. I understand almost everybody else’s post on here. this guy is probably a very high IQ guy, who knows. Go back and look at most of his post. For me they’re very hard to understand. I have no idea most the time of what he’s trying to say or what he’s trying to do.. you are probably in the high IQ category also that’s why you appreciate like what he says. He may be a great guy loves America, but come on I don’t like the way the guy hides most of the time what he’s saying. I don’t care for the guys style it’s not for me although I really like the post he gave above but that’s like the only one I’ve ever really understood. So you and me we don’t agree I’m sure he will survive my post. But you can keep defending him. It’s OK and I can keep disagreeing with the guy’s style I don’t like it..
But to make you happy sir I will not ever say anything about his post anymore. by the way, I picked him out a long time ago as someone that intrigued me here on this site but like I say, I just think he tries to be too cute and cryptic. take care and may we all come together too fight against the evil that is being thrown at us daily.
Chucky!!!! Haha.
I believe the doc on the Glencoe massacre is on retro movie. The Message is on their also. If you pay close attention you will pick up some very important info about Medina.
You are correct regarding the northern border being a major problem. Based on the number of Fentanyl ODs occurring daily in the northern US states, there’s still an active criminal pipeline pumping that poison into the US from Canada. Next to zero chance Canada itself is not complicit with the drug cartels to poison Americans with that junk
Hezbollah and China are in Canada running the drug labs
Since your premise is false — we DO need things from Canada — your analysis is…..flawed.
We need them to stop trafficking Islam, fentanyl and children. And send the Chinese Occupation Force home.
Since your premise is false — we DO need things from Canada — your analysis is…..flawed.
Instead of declaring Rocket’s premise as false and his analysis flawed . . .
Please explain why and also list what all we need from Canada?
0.o
As a Canadian trapped up here, please enlighten me as to what the US “needs” from Canada?
Friendship. Mutual respect and support.
Ha Ha Ha…..well the USA is not even getting THAT these days, thanks for the 😂
Canadian liberal communists haven’t got a clue. Imagine wanting to destroy trade between two countries that had the same ancestry, history, living on the same continent. The stupid is never ending.
Canadian President Trump supporter here since the escalator ride.
We are controlled by Ontario and Quebec.
Quebec is the spoiled drug addicted adult child, Ontario is like your D.C.
Between the two, over half the population of Canada lives there.
Ottawa ( D.C. central) does as it pleases.
Cheers!
Regardless of how it may seem you have friends here. We Boomers remember our Canadian friends fondly.
Ten four!
Millions of Canadians have strong and positive ties to the U.S.A. many of those ties are family ones.
We know it is psychotic leaders that cause the friction.
Cheers!
I think the generational point you mentioned is important. I’m not sure about Gen X. But I’m 1982, right on the exact line of X and millennials.
And, at no point in my life was Canada relevant in a positive way or has ever presented its self to me as an American as anything other than “the stuck up, delusional narcissistic crazy people who apparently hate us more than anything else and criticize every thing about my life, people and principles.”
I think Boomers are the last that had any fellowship or positive relations with Canada.
I guess that’s true. My memories of Canadians were fun loving, party animals just like we were. Great drinkers and just loving the party that was freedom in the 70’s. Wild bunch of guys eh?
Some would be surprised here to know; Canadian military from the mid 90’s thru 9-11 conducted many exercises with US military forces. After 9-11 Canadian military also participated in OIF/OEF combat operations. They provided strategic hospital support in Afghanistan.
So it’s more than just the boomers who have had positive relations with our northern
border neighbors. FYI
It’s your govt not the people of Canada that are the problem here. Americans have always been friends with their northern cousins. But dear cousin, it is you and your other citizens of heritage Canada who have to turn the tables on your rulers once and for all. We can be behind you but we cannot fight your enemies directly like you can. Start by finding a true leader who puts Canada first and is willing to defend it. Good luck and keep trying or come on over by whole province and become part of America itself.
No…it IS the people who repeatedly ELECT the government.
Would that be the same as the people electing Biden?
That is unlikely to happen, the country is fractured.
Ottawa is unlikely to ever change..for one thing any leader must be fluently bilingual to appease Quebec😟
But where is the push back? Where are the Canadian pod casters that will meme the idiots in Ontario and Quebec? Like Frogs legs and many other US influencers. Here in the states we don’t see or hear any grassroots opposition. I would love to support Canadians in opposing their subjugation. Give us the links and we can jointly make them go viral.
I can commiserate. I live in a deep blue state, which if not for a large blue cesspool, would be red. Many other states in the same boat. I’ve engaged in conservative causes here, at a fairly significant personal cost. So when I hear “you get what you voted for”, I take exception. Big time.
Getting tired of swimming against the tide. Planning exit. You?
They come off as infants/kindergartners in their ways, thinking and behaviors.
Carney burned that bridge…….
What Sundance outlined earlier turned into an oAHA moment for me.
New Zealand with their lockdowns, Australia with their Covid tyranny, and
Canada with their climate change religion, and Carney on loan.
What do all of the three countries have in common? Britain peering over their
shoulder. I’ve been tuning in on Prometheus Action postings regarding how
Britain is actually the overlooked shit stirrer in you name a social problem
in the Western World. Russia is kept around to be the scape goat, the fall guy.
I, too, have been watching Promethean Action YT vids. They are enlightening, present a bigger picture/perspective, and are spot on.
DITTO
Likewise
It does appear to be that way. What does Britain have though, that enables their world power invasions? How are they so irrelevant on the surface but so powerful behind the curtains? Who is running the show back there? Inquiring minds would like to know and reveal the actual power brokers causing all the troubles. They are the ones we should be going after.
It all revolves around globalism and NWO, I.M.O.
Think of all the color revolutions that have been foisted upon countries reaching back to Serbia and very likely even prior to then.
And we in the USA must be aware of the color revolution taking place now right here in our own country.
Eyes wide opened.
The constant I see with all the color revolutions/ destabilizing of countries is this.
Particularly since Benghazi. The countries all become unsafe, unlivable to large swaths
of the population. The ones with money become the first to bail out and emigrate to the
developed world. The rest are loaded up into planes and boats, sent to developed nations
Excepting the continents of South America, Africa, and, excepting attempts in Japan,
Asia.
The vast bulk of all the travelers would have stayed put, if the color revolution gangs had
left their prior countries alone.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Banks and 3 centuries of embedded financial influence in 3/4 of the world, their old empire.
None of these 3 countries is fully independent.
Each of these 3 countries still recognize the King of England as their Head of State.
And while, in practice, that King very very rarely inserts himself into the internal working of any of these countries — it DOES happen!
The king is an issue, but the real point is the British system with banker financial control and wanting and working for world domination.
The king is a symbol of that system, but the system is what we need to beat. They want to control this country just like all others. Until President Trump,, they were doing pretty well. Now they aren’t and they don’t like it.
The war in Ukraine is all about them wanting to control Russia. They’ve been trying to do that for a long time.

I learn so much from the Treehouse. Wow.
Awwwwww (blushes, stubs his toe).
Actually the largest investment in Australia has been the United States since the 1950’s so who do you think controlled Australian policy during the Covid?? The latest ‘lockdown’ of children off the internet is run by an American fascist blow in Julie Inman Grant.
She is an Ex Twitter employee while Jack was running the show.
Also worked for Microsoft.
Elon fired her so this is her way of retaliating against Elon.
She made sure she married an Australian Army guy too to cement her life in Australia

When their economy collapses, what will be the consequences for us having an economic basket case situated on our northern border.? We share the longest international border in the world (5,525 miles), and 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of that border. People will plan an escape, and it’s not difficult to guess in which direction most will flee.
President Trump’s strategic partnership with specific Canadian regions is great. It has certainly got Ottawa’s attention. I hope something happens quickly. This conflict among “friends” is not sustainable over the long haul.
China is big in BC and so are the drugs. As Canada collapses drugs will be a bigger industry. Long term problems for US coming from Canada.
B.C. resident chiming in.
We live 5 mins from the border at Blaine Washington.
What you say is true, with one caveat.
The long term problems will be ours..
We have benefited from U.S. benevolence.
The U.S.A. only needs to impose punitive penalties on Canadians that visit Arizona, Hawaii, Florida,Nevada and California.
Say a $1000 U.S dollar entry fee per person and the pampered Liberal muppets here would be shrieking.
Folks we speak with here, are getting anxious ( but they don’t know why) IMO deep down they know their government B.S. artists are blowhards, paper tigers and as a nation Canada is fecked.
Cheers!
Interesting idea Dekester. Charge an entry fee for foreign temporary residents visiting their property here in the states. That would be a real shocker to many of our Canadian friends with the big bucks.
Of course it might be turn around is fair play situation too. I know many people where I live who own Canadian property too. Cottages on the lakes etc. Maybe not nearly as many but there are quite a few around where I am.
Somehow your govt. needs a big adjustment and so far the stalwart Canadian citizens have not been able to manage to demand that successfully. I hope it can happen one day.
Yep, they need a kick where it hurts.
As a general rule Canadians 60-80 or thereabouts are a smug bunch, many have inherited large sums of cash, and a pension system funded by the U.S.A in parts has them living large.
Cheers!
I believe Victoria, BC is the illegal amphetamine capital of the Pacific Northwest…bill
They should flee to China, India and Pakistan. They love their culture and people so much. Why would they come here to us evil racists?
“If free trade Republicans today had listened to what Karl Marx had said on the subject, they would know why Bernie Sanders and socialism in general has gained popularity. Marx advocated for free trade because”
The Forgotten American System
https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2025/01/forgotten-american-system-thomas-maino.html
Wow- if that is an actual Marx quote, it puts a new perspective on why ‘free trade’ was illogically pushed by the Uniparty and globalists. Its primary objective may have been, from the start, to allow the Chinese system to grow powerful through make the non-communist world the parasitical host through which the untenable Iron Rice Bowl has been maintained, since elites like the Rockefellers have fawned over China’s authoritarian society as a model for all the world.
Bingo! And PDJT has made that point in regards to globull warming Marxist legislation and psyop. Council On Foreign Relations Soros has made statements to that direction. You figured out their game. My greatest appreciation to you friend. Great handle btw.
It’s that word, “Free”, Colkitto…
Example: The National Health Service in an increasingly despotic and economically moribund Britain. ” Free”…..at the point of use.
At the point of use.
In no way is it without cost, and everyone pays. First through National Insurance contributions, then over time longer and longer waiting times to be seen first, then longer to get treated…and finally when the queues are too long, medical assistance in dying (which Britain’s Parliament has just passed along with abortion at any point in a pregnancy — shorten those queues one way or another). On and on until the “Health Care” slogan every Brit politician used to propagandize to a public which waited and waited and waited to be helped, “The National Health System is the ENVY OF THE WORLD!!!!” became patently untrue and obvious.
Haven’t heard that lie in decades now because the “Free” system is in a state of collapse and increasingly not fit for purpose.
“Free” is the bait used by Marxists (and all the other “-ists) to push their poisonous ideology.
“Free”…. that is, if you can find whatever it is they’ve promised you can get for nothing.
Everything has a price..
Especially Freedom. Itself a rapidly decreasing commodity in Canada and elsewhere throughout the Western World…
Here’s hoping our neighbours to the North, slow learners apparently, finally understand.
Ty dear Bet. Cheers my friend
Very well said. You accurately highlight the truth that “free” is counter intuitive to freedom.
Your way with words is quite wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you, Peace.
Wish more wouldn’t be so mesmerized or sucked in when they hear it…then without critical thinking block out the rest.
So true, Betsy! I have a friend living in BC, a Christian conservative and Trump enthusiast. Her husband had a severe gall bladder attack more than 3 months ago, and he’s still in limbo under Canada’s “free” healthcare system. During the wait, his gall bladder became abscessed and he developed a systemic infection and is in constant pain. As of today, he’s still waiting to get a consultation with Surgeon #2. My friend said the Canadian healthcare system is “abhorrent,” and that most affluent Canadians choose to come across the border and pay cash for medical treatment. Unfortunately, they are homesteaders and can’t afford to do this.
Prayers would be appreciated!
I can’t tell you how desperately sympathetic I am for her husband, Deplorable and Proud. Constant, unremitting pain is dangerous and life threatening.
I know because my own surgeon father wouldn’t wait to remove a gall bladder given conditions such as you describe. My own British husband with the same symptoms presented at the ER of a huge hospital near to us. Less than 24 hours later he had surgery and his was removed. Discovered on various Catscans and an MRI, was a large abdominal aortic aneurysm which would have remained undiscovered if not through the purpose of seeking help for his pain. That was operated upon two days after his gall bladder surgery. He was told that with both he was hours from not coming home. We’ve often discussed how had we still lived in Britain, that would have been the case.
What your friend’s husband is being forced to endure is inhumane and unconscionable. I’ve been only too aware of the state of Canada’s “free healthcare” disaster. When I spoke of costs, I did not mean only in terms of money.
Of course he and she shall have my prayers, and I’m sure the prayers of every Treehouse resident who reads their terrible story. Life and the quality of it has come to mean nothing in any country which treats both so cheaply.
I am so so sorry…from one whose own husband went through the same. The merciful Grace of a loving Father I will petition for in the Name of Christ Jesus for both of them 🙏🏻 B
Thank you, Betsy. I’ll pass this on to her.
“By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread. Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
Nothing really comes for free. Not in this fallen world.
‘There is nothing that Canada provides to the USA that the USA cannot create, produce or secure independently.’
Yep. 😉
Canada – 9% world’s total forest area.
Russia – 20% world’s total forest area.
Canada – Potash production – 15 million metric tons. Reserves – 1.1 billion metric tons.
Russia – Potash production – 9 million metric tons. Reserves – 920 million metric tons.
Beluras – Potash production – 7 million metric tons. Reserves – 750 million metric tons.
Love the hat lol but more so the analysis. Had a colleague that’s part of our new Canadian subsidiary on work call yday talk about how our work in canada may be affected by canada first outlook and I just chuckled like who cares, we have plenty here in the good old US.
I agree scdeplorable, Canadian crocodile tears will be responsible for the depletion of the Artic ice cap.
One thing interesting is that without the steal to “ruin” Trump and keep him out of the presidency, put him in jail, he would not be the President at the time the renegotiation period was up.
Oops, guess they (deep state/uniparty/et. al.) didn’t see that one coming.
I’ve always held the steal was what it was, too much corruption throughout the system but the steal exposed that and awakened a lot of people. A lot of people were awakened by the contrast of Trump term 1 to Biden to Trump term 2, without the steal these awakenings wouldn’t have happened.
We can’t go undo 2020, but we sure can learn and pivot.
True enough, but everything thing around the 2020 steal cannot be forgiven. The ones involved with the steal, the Wuhon Con, Mail in Ballots, Jan 6, child sex mutilations, Wars…etc.
There must be JUSTICE!
But, I agree with you, President Trump didn’t just decide one day to ruin his life and the TRUMP brand on a lark. Dare I say, a plan?
Thank you both.
Your perspectives are precisely those of many “ middle of the road” Canadian President Trump supporters.
🥂
Yes!
There it is.
I see “The Stolen” 2020 election as the inflection point where We The People began re-educating ourselves on the US civics we have not been taught in public schools since the 1960s.

Providence sometimes teaches a hard lesson.
Let us be thankful for hard lessons.
Canada would be an epic national park, minus Ottawa.
How do nations create leaders as unbelievably stupid as Canada, The U.K., France, and Germany? Talk about stunning.
We almost had Harris….We have Walz and Newsom. The Democrats cheat. We are 1 election away from making Carney look like a genius.
Things every American should never forget. Look away for even a short time and the enemy wins.
Don’t discount our Barry & Mike, though not the only dummkopf in USA politics, but as vile an ideologue to ever come down the pike.
Are you talking about Mike (Judas) Pence?
Dominion Voting machines.
Venezuela will be dealt with: it happening right now.
The incompetence is the point.
Puppets. All puppets.
Carney’s speeches are exactly as meaningful as Harris’. The same group must be writing the word salads or Carney is as dumb as Harris….maybe a bit of both. Carney has never run anything in his life. As Sundance said, Conservatives in Canada are no better than Romney. The country has Government Health Care. It is taking away free speech. It has taken the guns.
Canada is an albatross around our neck.
Be a dirty crying rotten shame if Alberta became annexed, and suddenly had a 2nd amendment .
Wonder if there would be a TRUE Alberta Stampede , then?
😂
Well … it’s the Calgary Stampede. But why quibble over details, your point is spot-on.
Heck, maybe THAT rodeo would grow so big it covers ALL of Alberta Province (soon to be the Independent Nation of Alberta)
Knew I’d get the geography wrong, but enough here speak authentic YTG to
understand what I was getting at.
True, but if somehow President Trump can get a deal on energy ( Alberta) and Potash ( Saskatchewan) the U.S. and those two Provinces will add to the U.S.
🥂
Love the hat
Couldn’t possibly agree with you more Sundance! Brilliant summation♡♡♡
Where the Big Oil Cash Machine Is Really Coming From (2025–2030)
The next 5 years of free cash flow for @exxonmobil
, @Chevron
, @Shell
, bp, Total, and Eni is dominated by just two regions:
1) The Permian
2) Kazakhstan’s giant megaprojects (Tengiz, Kashagan, Karachaganak)
Too many are very much unaware of the real energy picture.
You mean Royal Dutch Shell? BP? 1964 wasn’t the ONLY British invasion.
Yep. What will become of Tesla’s battery-car biz? And those knock-offs the CCP builds.
My guess is vast lots of EVs that no one wants sitting idle and collecting dust.
What about the lithium batteries in every one of those unsalable useless vehicles?
They are hazards on their own.
Canada’s so-called “green economy” consists of importing stuff from China, changing the labels, and re-exporting it as “Canadian.” This is a mockery(!) of what this vast, once-powerful nation should be, and if this change of trade agreements is what finally triggers a change there, it would be a very good thing for all. Canada has many resources, and it used to have “pride.”
“Canada FIRST!” My-nation FIRST! That’s what every negotiator should be saying, every time. Canada did not. Mexico did not. And, look where now both of them are. Both deserve much better – but they have to negotiate for it, as do we.
Trackin’ and appreciate your continuous hard work & dedication.
Separately… that hat. 🙂 You have a merch department now, lol?
I worked for a company based in Canada and had to travel there periodically. I interacted with people and with government officials. Most of Canada is populated by the most compliant populace you will ever find, and overly aggressive government officials (completely unnecessarily).
They have a tremendous inferiority complex, and America envy. They KNOW they are the snotty little brothers who only don’t get beat up because their big brother is the toughest guy on the block.
There are exceptions — nearly everyone I’ve ever met in Alberta is freedom loving and independent minded. I haven’t spent enough time in Saskatchewan or Manitoba to know. I also met a fellow from rural Quebec that would have been right at home in Texas (and wanted to immigrate here).
Do yourself a favor and watch the scene from Canadian Bacon with Dan Aykroyd as the language police. This will tell you everything you need to know about Canada.
In the USA: USMCA 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦
In Canada: CUSMA🇨🇦🇺🇸🇲🇽
in Mexico is MUCUS? 😅
MUCAS 🤧
This guy is always worth listening to, always fast moving, to the point, pro Canada-pro America.
Shawn Newman is really good too.
Then there’s this to consider as well.
“When things get weird, the weird turn pro”
“Take off, you hoser”. The guy on the right to the guy on the keft.
😂
the first thing i noticed about “that guy” wasn’t the shirtless big belly, or the hat, or the smoke, or the tats…
no, the first thing i noticed was that he had the good sense to put his gloves on in freezing temps.
it’s a metaphor of sorts for Canada.
if you’re going out in the cold,
make sure you don’t jeopardize what you need most in the process.
(translation: the U.S.doesn’t need you, you need the U.S. –
have the good sense to protect what you need most!)
Canada has a Godlessness to it also. Abortion at any time. Free, mind you. The MAiD Medical Assisted in Suicide claimed 16,499 last year. Guessing that number for Canadians euthanized is most likely much greater. They threw Christian pastors in jail for holding church services during fear juice shot. Drug overdoses are rampant. We all know how they treated the peaceful truckers. Their problem is spiritual. There are a lot of wonderful Canadians on this site & in Canada that don’t belong in the category mentioned above. Prayers for Canadian Christians & patriots.
^^^^^ you are absolutely correct. Consider prayers up for Christians in Canada.
Never like to read of any nation in trouble and, am very much against them coming into our fold as we have enough of their politics already. Let’s hope of common ground away from liberalism.
Why would Canadians fear “global warming?” It would make their country more habitable.
lol.
I don’t think President Trump will falter in this and hope he won’t. I would like to see the individual trade deals between Canada and Mexico instead of group deals.
Sundance do you have merch? I don’t wear hats but would love a women’s V-neck or scoop neck T-shirt, I’m not comfortable in crew necks. I would like it with the same saying the hat has. Or maybe a mug, but would prefer a T-shirt or perhaps both.
Yes, V-neck t-shirts please!
The bi-lateral trade deals are a direct shot at globalism. Globalism by the WEF definition: you will own nothing, live in 15-minute cities in a borderless world, eat bugs and be happy.
Every bi-lateral deal that benefits both parties is a direct shot at the financialists who have used the multi-lateral trade deals to make debt slaves of every country and hollow out their working and middle classes. Bi-lateral agreements neuter central banks and the BIS, makes cheating and corruption more difficult, and ends the extraction of minerals at suppressed prices to be shipped to the globalists’ favored companies to process and sell back to the origin countries at marked up prices.
Coupled with Trump cutting off a large source of narco money in Venezuela that funds the globalist regimes’ rent-a-mobs and color revolutions, Trump is severely crippling the global criminal enterprise. This is infinitely more important than the Epstein files.
I wonder if this will be associated with the closing and merging of businesses that are considered usual suspects for money laundering. For example the Warner Bros Netflix merger. Is Hollywood going to take a big hit?
Between the USAID and drug enforcement removing the money to be laundered, it will be interesting to see what is suddenly no longer profitable.
What does the title mean LIKELY a to exit….I thought that was the goal all along? Likely? Confused here. Someone splain Lucy?
Where can I buy that hat?
Canada has made themselves irrelevant with their globalist net zero worship. Unfortunately, we will be fighting China over their dead body one day in the future.
Maybe, but there are many millions of Canadians that would join with the U.S.A. in that fight.
We are on home turf on that war, and the J1 summer help that arrives summers here can hardly ride a 2 wheel bike. The China threat is overrated, I have never seen a J1 Chinese go getter, they always seem to need direction and when directed, meekly go about their task. Canada deserves to fail, Trump is a businessman and buys assets at distressed prices or negotiated pricing. Just my cocktail hour thoughts on a Friday.
I recall that among Candidate Trump’s first words upon landing at the base of the golden escalator in 2015 included,
“We never win anymore”.
And Candidate Trump backed up the assertion with many facts, data points.
Then, on the stump, he spoke of “are you tired of winning yet?!?!!”
And he is still winning.
In order for all Americans to win.
All nations looking to trade with the USA should be sent that video of Marco Rubio detailing what PDJT and America First means as a starting point to any negotiations.
I am in full support and Sundance saw this coming long ago. I’m just curious, would congress need to approve of this?
Have close ties to Canada and follow some of the publications.
They are freaking nuts!
The vast majority worship the climate change charlatans and believe in their own importance.
The chinese and mohammedans are heavily infiltrated
Like Great Britain, Canada is done.
The facts seem to be in February 2026 the countries get together for a first review
If at that time there is no unanimous agreement, a period of 10 years is triggered (until 2036) in which the parties at any time can renegotiate and decide to extend.
So Trump admin cancelling USMCA in 2026 does not even seem to be an option
Of course there is an illegal/not-in-the-agreement/unilateral way of just pulling the plug on it. This would disrupt 2 trillion in annual trade. But that would likely also do damage to the US as a world wide trading partner. The US should instead concentrate on building and keeping its trade reputation as reliable trading partner. (Think about all the countries that signed a tariff trade agreement looking at this and going hmmmm…)
The review includes an exit option. 10 years is triggered if the parties want to continue to try to resolve differences. This must be signed off on by both parties. No sign off and the deal is dead.
Sundance, please comment on the web rumblings I see about Alberta seceding from Canada. Is it real?
My thought? “Divided, they fall.” What we need right now, from a whole lot of countries, is: “[My_Country] FIRST!”
Back in the “good ol’ days” when we actually had “in-flight magazines,” Dr. Chester Karrass lectured us that: “In life, you don’t get what you deserve – you get what you negotiate.”
If [you] are not out there, fighting for [your_country], then absolutely no one else on earth ever will. (And: why on earth should they?)
Somehow, along the way, everybody in the world seemed to forget that. Everybody except the business-negotiations master of them all: Donald Trump. Who was originally a billionaire “private citizen.” He got that way by negotiating. Or, as he puts it, “making Deals.”
And so: Is there a “Trump®” hotel in your city? Tell the cabbie to drive the extra mile to go there. You will be treated like a member of the family who just happens to be royalty, and yet the price you pay for the night will be competitive. (Only the much-maligned “Queen of Mean,” Leona Helmsley (RIP), ever came close to this same ethic.)
Why are there no Canadians, and Mexicans, declaring that “USMCA is garbage!” ??? Their people can’t be blind . . . so . . .
Carney is hitching his wagon to the EU and China to keep his country afloat economically. He’s betting the farm he can get along without the USA for any of his economic and protection needs. We shall see. Methinks he will come crawling to PDJT sooner than later.
Carney is losing support from his own party. Several lefties in his party will probably return to NDP because he is seeming to support a pipeline to the BC coast. Canada is going through major political upheaval right now. It is very important that the economic pain be very strong to shake Canadians out of their delusion.
There s a very good chance we will not have to wait another 3 years for a federal election. But I don’t want a new election until Canada decisively switches gears and forever ditches the climate change/socialism craziness. It will take a lot of economic pain for that to happen and while that is happening Canadians will simultaneously be witnessing America experiencing an economic boom under Trump’s policies. Nothing speaks louder than success.
i believe this is why the Conservatives didn’t fight the horrible Liberal budget when it finally came out. It would have triggered a Christmas election if it had failed. It’s not the right time for that. Not enough Canadians have woken up. I’m sure this is why the Liberals made no attempt to work with other parties to pass their the budget. A Christmas election most likely would have favoured the Liberals. But now they have to own their budget. Now Canadians are beginning to see. In the polls Trump has dropped down as being the major concern of Canadians and now it’s becoming the economy, jobs, inflation, etc.
The Liberals are trying to deflect everything on to Trump but the truth is it’s their crazy policies that are destroying Canadian sovereignty and the economy.
Carney is being shown up to be exactly the opposite of what Canadians believed him to be. Carney a is diehard globalist and green initiative investor. He is heavily invested in China and in green industries. I think he is trying to get as much personal financial benefit as possible out of his role as PM while at the same time deceive Canadians into thinking he has Canada’s best interests at heart.
Carney is in it for Carney and his company Brookfield. Wherever he has been on his ‘walkabout’, Europe, India etc
he always comes back with deals which will benefit Brookfield.
Meanwhile his government has been spraying our dollars around with C220 million grants (OK these were Canadian dollarettes!) to Stellantis which shut own their Canadian plant ( approx 3000 future jobs) and rejigged their Illinois plant. Doug Ford and Carney gave $500 million to Algoma Steel which then laid off 1000 Canadian steelworkers.
We are in deep doo- doo!
We are in trouble for sure. The contrast between Canadian policy and Trump economic policy shows in his meeting with Stellantis. Trump tells Stellantis that all the doors are open for them begin building as soon as possible. If it was the other way around the business would face years before being approved by Canada’s over regulated economy and then taxpayers would have to subsidize it anyway to offset high Canadian taxes. Business investment is leaving Canada in droves and Canada is unable to attract new investment because of high taxes and high regulations.
Not just Canadian media … US MSM on-line outlets have started carrying the same story … based on Reuters Business stories … plus the two Fox Light Outlets (Brietbart and Newsmax) are finaly catching on to the “possibility of the US leaving the USMCA.
The horror of it and wailing will be starting soon in Congress as well the US Financial World.
I want a red hat like that!!! 😜
Sundance, the sales of hats like that would most likely be a good fundraiser.
100% in agreement. Well said! 👏. Canada needs to fail and to fail hard to wake up from the globalist/socialist delusion. Thank God for Trump.
I read the articles/video from Canada attached in Sundance’s post. The disconnect from reality by Canadian premiers is breathtaking. They have bought the “green agenda” hook, line and sinker.
Who knew the Canadian elites had coined the phrase “Can’t see past the end of one’s nose.”
They would rather their people go broke, freeze to death, and starve, than to give up their “climate change culture.”
A microcosm of Canada and the US is healthcare. Many Canadians have a special health plan for the US hospitals in Seattle. They cross the border as necessary. Frightening because our healthcare is shit. Theirs’ must be worse.
“Climate change is a cult belief, and Canada is in the middle of a mass formation psychosis. Canada needs to get hard, stop this global warming nonsense, dispatch cultural Marxism and put deliberate men in charge.”
Nothing has been better said than this! Sundance’s crisp writing crystalizes any issue so brilliantly.
Also, and as a woman, I’ll have no problem emphasizing this nugget from the above: “…put deliberate men in charge.”
Am I missing something or were the Canadians not understanding the USMCA acronym? What do they think the A stands for at the end of CUSMA?
the Canadian government will just wait-out president Newsome in 2029, along with the GOP, US deep-state, and globalist corporations.
If nothing is done in a big way about our fraudulent voting system, this is exactly how it will play-out. No one outvotes the entrenched systemic fraud except Trump. No one. It all goes back to BAU in January 2029.
Awesome Sundance. I need one of those hats!
There’s talk of some Canadian provinces wanting more economic independence, so they’re looking for ways to separate from the grips of Ottawa. How much of these reports are factual, and how much might be just tabloid style attention seeking?:
Supposedly three of our best friends, nation-wise.
“I have talked to a lot of Canadians on the issues of economics and trade. As a result, I can say with complete sincerity that not since the COVID-19 examples of New Zealand (lockdowns) and Australia (vaxx), has a nation engaged in such a level of mass cognitive dissonance as the govt of Canada on the issue of economics and trade – in the past few years. It is stunning.”
Saw a Canada First style ad on Amazon Prime Video during the movie ad break.
“We are a nation of builders”. It incorporates scenes of past greatness (St. Lawrence Seaway), heavy industry and primary manufacturing (Now mostly gone). Not windmill in sight. All accompanied by slogans that would make djt proud.
All sponsored by the Carney-val government. Looks like someone is trying to get ahead of what is coming and prepare the people for the direction change.
Canada, indeed, used to be a proud nation, worthy of its many accomplishments. I would add that Mexico, in its own Latin way, was also. The United States, also the same!
So, why did we suddenly decide that “free trade” was the answer, when the end result does not actually benefit any of the participant nations?
Yes, every business and every nation needs accountants. But(!), do not ever(!!) allow them to tell you how to run your business!
The “stunning wisdom” of Donald Trump comes first(!) from his having been a successful businessman in one of the most “negotiation-centric” businesses on earth, in one of the most cutthroat markets. He was wildly successful, of course, and(!) he wrote a few books about it. Excellent books. Which all of you should read and re-read. (Even foreign heads of state.)
Sundance’s analysis is spot-on, we don’t need anything from Canada. The very notion of NAFTA made no sense to me from the outset. Why lose leverage? It takes a businessman, or really, anyone who has to juggle household finances, to understand this. Career bureaucrats don’t “get it”, until they’re forced to. Like limp Carney.
One positive to Canada, in comparison to Mexico, is the obvious one. They’re not sending human trash, by the tens of millions, across our border, to at best suck us dry.
Or worse. Here’s a dose of karma for today. Remember that young woman who was driving drunk while live-streaming her teen sister’s body as it was ejected during a rollover crash in 2017? Sentenced to 6 years, she only spent a year in jail. In 2019, she was arrested with a loaded gun, after leading the cops on a high speed chase.
Born in 1999, she lived in Stockton, CA, but her birthplace is “unknown”. Translation, another POS illegal. Anyway, today she was killed in a drive-by shooting:
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5634183-stockton-california-woman-killed/
Her crime spree, and her killing days, are over. Karma.
