🇨🇦 Canada’s tariff panic meets Carney’s photo-op federalism

Mark Carney is gathering premiers because Washington is rattling the tariff cage again, and Ottawa suddenly remembers Canada still makes things. Funny how the same ruling class that spent years kneecapping energy, bloating regulation, and turning the country into a post-national services mall now wants to look tough on trade. As reported, Carney is trying to coordinate a response, which in Canadian political dialect means another round of elite consensus theatre while our leverage shrinks.

This is the Trudeau-era bill coming due. You do not hollow out domestic industry, sneer at resource sovereignty, and worship at the altar of global interdependence, then act shocked when the Americans use market power like a weapon. Premiers are being summoned to manage fallout from a dependency model Ottawa built on purpose. The real national-interest response would be pipelines, production, internal free trade, and a federal government that serves Canadians instead of Davos networking circles. But that would require a class of leaders who believe Canada should be self-reliant, not merely well-branded.
