🇨🇦 90 percent of the market gone, and Ottawa calls this sovereignty

A Manitoba honey farm that sells 90 percent of its product to the U.S. is now staring at bankruptcy thanks to a 50 percent tariff on $28 billion in Canadian goods, including honey, as reported. Podolski Honey Farms says it plainly: effectively, we are out of business. That is what happens when Canada spends a decade posturing like a moral superpower while hollowing out leverage, productivity, and self-reliance.

Mark Carney says Washington asked for too much and offered too little, and now he promises retaliatory tariffs after Labour Day like that helps a family farm in Ethelbert ship one more barrel. This is the Trudeau-Carney legacy in one sticky frame: real producers get crushed while Ottawa performs sovereignty for cameras. We were told global integration, managed decline, and elite technocrats would make Canada resilient. Instead, one foreign decision wipes out a 70-year farm business overnight. A serious country protects its producers before lecturing the world and losing its own market access.
