🇨🇦 Team Canada cracks over a liquor stunt

The big patriotic masterplan was pulling U.S. booze off shelves, and now even premiers are admitting the obvious: this was political theatre, not strategy. Ottawa and the provinces spent years making Canada weak, dependent, overregulated and unserious, then tried to cosplay toughness with a liquor-board boycott. As reported, some premiers are openly questioning the gimmick. Good. A country that cannot build pipelines, secure its borders or protect its own market is not going to outmaneuver Washington by hiding bourbon.

The real crack in Team Canada is deeper than alcohol. It is a ruling class split between provincial leaders who still dimly recognize local economic interests and a federal machine addicted to optics, summit slogans and managed decline. Trudeau-era politics turned sovereignty into branding: wave the flag, obey the bureaucrats, import cheap labour, hollow out productivity, then punish consumers for applause lines. Canada does not need more boycott pageantry. It needs a government that acts like national interest is more than a marketing campaign.
