🇨🇦 Canadians want backbone, Ottawa offers bargaining chips

More than half the country wants Ottawa to stop conceding and take a hard line with Washington, yet the ruling class still treats sovereignty like a coupon code. The poll reported what anyone outside the Laurentian bubble already knows: Canadians are tired of being managed by weak men chasing a deal at any price.

Andrew Enns says this creates a challenge for leaders who want an agreement with the Americans. Of course it does. For the Trudeau-era political class, every negotiation starts with surrender dressed up as pragmatism. They hollowed out domestic capacity, chained Canada to global supply fantasies, then act shocked when punishing tariffs loom and the public demands spine. A serious government would protect national industry, energy leverage, and market access instead of outsourcing strategy to consultants, pollsters, and continental bureaucrats. Canada does not need another polished loser promising stability while trading away leverage for applause.
