🇨🇦 United front for Carney lasted about five minutes

The premiers lined up behind Mark Carney’s grand walkout from a U.S. trade deal, then immediately split on what to do next. So much for the patriotic photo-op. The whole performance, reported, was Ottawa in a nutshell: theatrical unity up front, provincial self-preservation the second cameras move on. Carney gets to cosplay as Churchill, while provinces that actually produce things are left calculating the damage from retaliatory tariffs and Trump’s next move.

This is the Trudeau-era hangover in designer packaging. A country weakened by years of deindustrialization, ideological vanity projects, carbon fetishism and dependence on foreign markets is now pretending it can bluff from strength. Danielle Smith wants caution, Doug Ford wants muscle, and everyone knows Ottawa has no coherent sovereign strategy beyond slogans and emergency press conferences. Canada does not need another globalist banker selling managed decline as leadership. It needs a government that puts domestic production, energy independence and national leverage ahead of elite ego and media choreography.
