🇨🇦 Trade talks collapsed because Ottawa still thinks slogans are leverage

Mark Carney says three issues sank U.S.-Canada trade talks: supply management, digital taxes, and steel and aluminum tariffs, as reported. Translation: the Canadian political class spent years posturing, then acted shocked when Washington defended American industry while Ottawa defended every sacred cow at once. Carney inherited the Trudeau wreckage, but he is still selling the same fantasy that Canada can lecture its biggest customer while remaining economically dependent on it.

This is what sovereignty erosion looks like in practice. Not flags and speeches, but a country so hollowed out by globalist management that it cannot negotiate from strength. We throttled our own energy sector, inflated the state, taxed productivity, and called it progress. Then the same people who outsourced national resilience to consultants and climate panels want applause for managing decline. Canada needs hard national-interest policy, not another polished banker explaining why the walls keep closing in.
