Today is not a good day for the Canadian trade team.
It started with Quebec’s new Premier in Washington DC meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer {citation} in order to talk trade {SEE TIMELINE} saying on Twitter, “Quebec wants a renewal of the [USMCA] to ensure a stable and predictable framework for our economic exchanges.” However, Mrs. Christine Fréchette (pictured left) then bragged about having strategic discussions with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. {citation}
For those who might not know, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a parasitic Wall Street and K-Street lobbying organization that has been locked out of trade influence since President Trump took office in 2017. It was the U.S. CoC who sold out our manufacturing base, paid-off prior administrations and wrote the actual trade language in almost every trade deal that destroyed U.S. manufacturing.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a lobbying organization who focuses on the bottom-line profits of U.S. multinational corporations, and they don’t care what happens domestically to American jobs, American manufacturing and American wages. The CoC is the organization who created the rust belt and destroyed our manufacturing base under the guise of promoting a “service driven economy.”
If Canada want’s a successful trade negotiation with the USA, the Chamber of Commerce is the last organization they should be strategizing with.
Then comes Prime Minister Mark Carney who not only steps on a rake, but he also publicly insults President Trump and the entire U.S. trade team by saying every country in the world privately tells him they regret making a trade agreement with President Trump. ¹{Citation at 28:10 of Video}
I’m going to post the entire video of Prime Minister Mark Carney discussing USMCA (Canada calls CUSMA) trade negotiations because the tone deafness of it is off the charts. That includes the Canadian Prime Minister saying that Section 232 national security reviews are a violation of the U.S-Canada trade agreement. Carney believes any independent U.S. trade position that negates trade with any Canadian sector is a violation of trade rules, yet he is afraid to sue over Sec 232 because he doesn’t want to discover the flaw in his mindset.
Carney, like Trudeau before him, is highly upset about the U.S. tariffs on Steel, Aluminum and Softwood Lumber. Factually, those raw material sectors of the Canadian economy have been dumping product into the USA for decades despite the Canadian government simultaneously dismantling their industrial dirty jobs.
♦ This is how the Canadian system works:
Canada dumps raw materials into the USA market, then skips the manufacturing part (dirty jobs) because they are not climate friendly, then imports manufactured component parts from China and elsewhere, assembles the components and then tries to find markets for their finished goods, usually in the USA.
President Trump has worked to stop the “dumping part” by placing tariffs on the Canadian raw materials (Steel, Aluminum, Softwood Lumber), in order to generate our own industrial sectors of mining, logging, steel and aluminum works.
This tariff block creates a situation where Canada needs to find other outlets for their raw material dumping….. which them becomes funny because Europe has already rejected them (same reason as Trump) and China doesn’t need them.
As a consequence, Canada has no choice except to try and force the USA to accept the dumping by lobbying Democrats and various business interests like the Chamber of Commerce to put political pressure on President Donald Trump. So far, their approach not only isn’t working – but it’s also insulting.
If Prime Minister Mark Carney keeps promoting this type of ridiculous anti-Trump trade narrative for domestic consumption (orange man bad), the Canadian people are going to be blindsided when the backfire surfaces. It has already backfired; the Canadian people just don’t see it yet.
Video prompted to 18:51 where Carney discusses trade relations with the USA:

¹We are drawing attention to this because we understand administration officials review these CTH research inputs. President Trump is not going to like this insult.
Canada (we) is going to get our clock cleaned if and when negotiations begin. Our lead negotiator is the former chief bureaucrat for Canada. Insert face palm emoji. Bureaucrats with pronouns against seasoned, experienced negotiators who have been doing many deals these last 16 months.
This is why he is stalling because it will be down right brutal. Imagine Blinken with the Chinese in Alaska bad. The sad part is Carney and our negotiating team they will run to the press to call the US bullies and Canadians will believe this because of “Orange Man Bad” Syndrome. We have no cards.
My concern is how much more selling out to China Carney is going to do. This will further worsen our position as it it will not only be economic but security issues. Then I fear the US will look at us as a growing threat.
USA 🇺🇸already looks at the
SNOW MEXICANS 🇨🇦as a threat with a 5500 mile undefended border.
The term snow Mexicans has become an insult to Mexicans.
Mexico, for all their troubles, is a real country with a real culture. Canada isn’t.
Um, except that Mexico is a failed state run by the Chinese and their Cartel enforcers.
You really don’t know! Not a true statement.
Exactly!
I hope and pray that Mexico will be able to pull herself out of the cartel problem . . . she deserves better.
Eh?
Snow Mexicans who apparently speak French as their preffered language? The Leaf Land French trade representative.
Correct:
We will eventually take Canada either peacefully, or otherwise. Simply because Canada lacks the political will, good national judgment and — frankly — enough people, to manage its own geographical reach.
The United States cannot have that on our northern border.
All Canadians should start getting used to the fact that we will take your country when the time comes. Hopefully without a struggle.
We can neutralize and lay seige to almost the entire population of Canada without extending 100 miles beyond the US border in any direction.
You think their frontier is bad in how little it is defensible against China, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE HOW IT FARES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
Carney isn’t negotiating for Canadian prosperity, but for him and his Chinese Owners to loot Canada.
This is exactly what Zelensky is doing in Ukraine for his Globalist Owners. Zelensky is killing Ukrainians and Carney is killing Canadians.
They want Ukraine as a platform to invade Russia and Canada as a platform to invade America with fentanyl, Chinese troops, Chinese Gangs, Terrorists, immigrants, etc.
The Canadian Occupation Government is indeed a threat and must be removed.

My heart goes out to all the Great Canadian Patriots suffering under this Marxist Carney!. It’s too bad you have so many parties competing with one and other every election cycle or the Patriots would be running that country. Hang in there folks I and millions of my fellow Patriots will keep you in our prayers! God Speed!
I agree. Being on the outs with Canda does neither of us any good.
PLEASE let more reasonable be be in charge.
Get on YouTube and watch several episodes of Decoding China. Get an inside Red China understanding of their present reality. Red China can’t afford very much trade at present. There is NO way for Canada to make up from Red China what is lost in US markets.
Canada lobbying to put political pressure on President Trump is a fools errand.
You can’t put political pressure on him. PDJT makes decisions based what he believes is best for America and doesn’t care about the politics.
Which is why most Americans love him and he’s a very effective President, he’s not a politician.
He is not a politician however there are times that he needs to play the political game. Disclosure: This is not one of those times.
Are Canadian raw materials (wood, copper mine concentrate, other resources, etc.) less costly than U.S. produced raw materials?
I recognize that Chinese-manufactured / assembled products are cheaper due to lower wages.
Mining in Canada is much easier than mining in the USA because of the regulatory climate.
I consider watching this interview cruel and unusual punishment. My ears and eyes are bleeding, and I am frantically searching for a barf bag. The gibberish, word salad Carney was spewing, has to be a learned skill of talking without saying anything. I confess this high-level economics conversation was outside of my wheelhouse. But I did understand the remark Carney made about other countries not happy with their trade deals. Of course they are not happy, because they have been ripping off the United States for decades and now it is all over. They FAFO and they are not happy, so what. They are lucky they even have a trade deal; they could wind up like Spain.
Agree, of course they’re unhappy, we shut off the spigot.
Perhaps it is because the
prosecutorjournalist was well-prepared to take the interview where she wanted it to go. These interviews are always that way. Tim Russert, Wolf Blitzer, Barbara Walters, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Chris Wallace are/were all great at leading the conversation where they wanted it to go in a non-confrontational, friendly manner.Present day interrogators such as Norah O’Donnell, Margaret Brennan, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and Katie Hunt are insufferable.
Present day interrogators… are all women.
Marx Carnage speaks like Pothole Pete Buttigieg, says so little by talking so much.
They’re not happy.
Then they should fire all their negotiators and the people who appointed them.
“high level economics, out of my wheelhouse”
I never met an economics student who transferred to the physics department.
You raise a great point.
I do know two MDs that were EEs and found engineering did not meet their hearts need and became MDs. EE is one tough gig!
The old thing goes when you’re enemy is digging a hole don’t stop and let them dig. Carney knows what’s happening. He’s aligned with China. He has all his investments in the United States and he does not care about Canada. I feel bad for the conservatives in Canada.
A good deal in the right time. Delay, delay, delay.
Carney is betting that the Midterms will put the Dems in power in Congress, and then the 2028 election will complete the Dems sweep of government. At that point he can get his trade deal the way China wants it.
Carney….Cannot recall his election…his history…something re City of London…
MJF,
Governor of the Bank of England. Seven years………… nuf said
A lot of words spoken, yet I stumble while trying to find the substance within his presentation. He comes off as a stuttering fool who tries too hard to hide his true beliefs, even at the end where he makes a snide comment.
Business schools will be studying Carney’s approach to critical negotiations for years to come. “Students, this is not how to get what you want.”
You don’t understand. That is what he wants.
His job is to finish what Fidel, Jr. started: the destruction of Canada.
The globalist cabal and Chinese want that.
Cannot watch this PM of Canada who is a
self promoting ,narcissistic ARROGANT , DAVOS Globalist,wanker Banker , WOKE little
PO💩 , and SOB .
Who is destroying Canada economically and SPIRITUALLY everyday he is in his NET ZERO DICTATORIAL control
(period)
As a Canadian I could not have said it better. We are in an abusive relationship with the Liberal Government. Like all Western nations there is a war going on attacking Western capitalist civilization. Communism morphed into Globalism but it is the same thing with the same tactic as. The Left has a.ways been willing to go as far as they need to get and keep power. We are on the fight of our lives. May Gods will be done and bring down our enemies.
As a Canadian, I agree with you. It drives me crazy that some of the people I fraternize with do not see what Carney is doing to Canada. They believe everything the Liberal subsidized Carney media tells them. Carney is laughing at us all and has succeeded in spreading TDS to the uninformed. Canada is lost.
Ha! Made me choke on my coffee!
No one is this stupid, This is deliberate.
Oh, we see bona fide stupidity on display every day. Consider that skank Ilhan, yesterday we were treated to that purple haired freak from NY state as Lee Zeldin was schooling her on applicable US Supreme Court caselaw.
It doesn’t matter what other countries say, it’s what other countries do that matters. They are welcome to go elsewhere. Oh, wait…
For example, I don’t give a rat’s pelosi whether indonesia loves us or not, as long as they keep it within their borders and trade fairly with us.
“rat’s pelosi”
Now THAT is funny 😉
This man never learned the foremost qualification for a lying politician – one must learn to fake sincerity.
Hubris and arrogance, off the charts. No doubt he will have an exit plan while the citizens of Canada will suffer economic ruin.
This man destroys; he creates disaster then declares victory.
That’s exactly what he was brought in to do.
Finish wrecking Canada, to assist his NWO masters. The Globalist-Chinese axis of western destruction.
If he can besmirch and smear PDJT and America First while doing so, that’s just a bonus for him.
Move to Martha’s Vineyard where they throw out the illegals pronto.
The ideology in Canada is everything to the WEF central planners. They are determined to impose their ideology.
Liberal Slush Fund announcement means Ottawa is once again making all the decisions with your money. Money, Canadians don’t have while refusing to reduce red tape and cut taxes.
When the zombie apocalypse occurs, CoC leaders are on my short list, followed by the globalist heads of industries.
But, until then, we all must support MAGA-centric policies and politicians.
This. A thousand upvotes. Yes, real Canadians are an incredible breed. Please don’t mistake us for the urban low information voters who slavishly follow CBC. Another branch of poisonous media like the BBC.
Canada is much like the joke about the policeman who pulled over a person for slowing down but continued at a stop sign. What’s the difference the person asked. I slowed down. The policeman started slapping the person. Now time me the policeman stated. Do you want me to slow down or stop? Trouble is Carney doesn’t even know to slow down much less stop.
For reasons unknown, Mark Carney is doing everything he can to destroy Canada, whether it’s his green agenda or his 91% Brookfield investments in the US. Whatever it is, it’s getting more and more dangerous for the US as Carney sells out Canada to China.
China is the largest producer of antimony. Canada has antimony. What better way to reduce competition for China than to buy a Canadian antimony mine and shut it down. Watch a government spokesman avoid answering about the antimony mine that China owns.
Is he destroying it on purpose so that his puppet waiting in the wings can acquire Canada on the cheap auction block when its free fall accelerates?
I remember having a conversation with a Canadian on a cruise ship in a cigar bar in 2019. I told him that I really enjoyed fishing in Canada and done it several times. He said really. Then asked how I felt about Trump. I said I voted for him and I think he is for the people. He stood up and said really shook his head and walked away in disgust.
I just laughed and felt great.
The majority of Canadians have been programmed to a level of stupidity where they don’t deserve to even have a country. Unfortunately, the US isn’t that far behind them.
Does sound like US government schools…
Simply stated: Donald Trump became a billionaire through his negotiating skills. The people with whom he is dealing don’t have any. In the past, incredibly stupid treaties – like NAFTA – were negotiated. Trump instantly saw through the folly and renounced them. Because none of his predecessors ever would. In fact, they were quite proud of them.
Canada used to be a proud and powerful nation . . .
Looks like if you’re gonna keep your country in-step with the Green “economists” and provide for your citizenry… you’d better be blessed with an extrememly robust tourist industry and an undemanding annual temperature range!
O Canada!
Your day is nearly done!
Your leaders do not
know… that
they haven’t won!
With open eyes and foolish grin
They sing the same tune o’er again!
God’s left our land
Furious is He
O Canada!
We cannot stand with thee!
O Canada!
We cannot stand with thee!
He knows Kamala
Great article about the detrimental effects of the chamber of Commerce moving our industry to China and replacing American workers with Hispanic African etc illegal aliens. Whose millions of families are supported by the American taxpayer. Reasons I’m not a conservative 1 cheap foreign illegal immigrant labor 2 Israel Israel Israel another entity supported by the American taxpayer. And it’s not just government money sent to Israel. It’s the tax deductible charity billions sent to Israel every year. Money that should be used in America.
You Israel lovers should Che k out an organization known as Friends of the IDF the Israel military. It doesn’t send money to Israel for weapons. But it sends money to the Israel military for everything else. Buildings and everything in the buildings. Barracks and all the furniture food uniforms etc. office equipment furniture utilities IDF medical care. IDF uniforms Everything but weapons. If’s vechicles IDF vê chicken gas oil tires and repairs.
Friends of the IDF is a billion dollar charity rip off like so many charity NGO ripoffs. It’s a Jewish organization that uses their tax deductions to pay for every expense of the Israeli military but weapons. Israel a welfare burden on the American taxpayer
Of course “other nations are not pleased with their new trade agreements” with the US….it levels the playing field and upsets their applecart.
This is what is experienced by the unrighteous when righteousness comes along and resets to equilibrium.
Attempts to slander Americans this way does not enhance Canadian negotiations.
Every time Carney opens his mouth Canada’s tariffs should go up 5%!
In light of the fact that “every” country in the world regrets making a trade agreement with the USA, I will be proud of POTUS if he saves Canada from this same fate, by refusing to make any trade agreements with them, whatsoever!
100% of all potential Canadian exports should be banned forthwith. Not regulated, not taxed, but banned!
MAGA.
As a proud PanAmerican, I write in a spirit of friendship to both my American and Canadian brothers. I am from an America on the other side of the equator, but I’ve lived most of my life in CanAmerica, and have interests, friends, family in USAmerica, and visit there often.
On an individual level, there is always great friendship between us all regardless of our flag. I have great CanMerican and USAmerican and OtherAmerican friends and partners here and there, and all I see are deep personal relationships and genuine goodwill.
To me, the divide is not by flag, but by ideology. It’s time for all the Americas to unite under the leadership of USAmerica, and to set our nations on the right course. We have been systematically strip mined by foreign interests, and that my friends, should be a deep concern to all of us.
USAmerica is showing the way, others are following. More and faster please.
Liars lie….
Well the free ride is over. What choice did they have?
I have no doubt that many of those countries, maybe all of them, hated having to make trade deals with President Trump. Carney saying they “regret” making those deals makes it sound like they feel bad about it after the fact and wouldn’t have signed on for some reason other than they just simply hated doing it at the time but had no choice.
All of them had been taking advantage of the U.S. in countless ways for decades and didn’t regret any of that at the time. If they regret agreeing to new trade terms that eliminated those advantages, well, that is just too darn bad. They accepted President Trump’s new trade deals because doing so is better than the alternative, which would be no deal at all. So, yeah, in private they probably did not like it, and eventually Carney won’t like it either but he will also sign up. The alternative for Canada (and Carney) is what they will really regret if they don’t get realistic and start dealing with PT in good faith and acceptance that the old days are over with.
Nice @ La Playa today!
Gracias Dios!
Can we just trade them Minnesota for Alberta and call it even? Wouldn’t even have to update our flag.
Carney is such an inexperienced asshole. Doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut.
Carney! what a joke strutting around like a Bantom rooster sticking his boney little chest out, rotten teeth and all, like he’s supposed to be some kind of tough little guy!!LMFA off at this loser pretending to be bad! His John Wayne mouth doesn’t match his Micky Mouse body!!
¹We are drawing attention to this because we understand administration officials review these CTH research inputs. President Trump is not going to like this insult.
I believe this is the most important statement I have read in these pages!
Thank you Sir!!
