π¨π¦ Carney calls 25 per cent tariffs a deal
The sharpest absurdity here is that Ottawa is spinning a failed negotiation as principle when the supposed offer still left most Canadian steel facing a 25 per cent tariff, anything above quota at 50 per cent, aluminum at 25 per cent, and our auto sector begging for partial relief. That is not free trade. That is managed decline with a bilingual press conference. Even Mark Wiseman admitted the U.S. description was broadly accurate, while blaming the collapse on fine print and shifting terms, as reported.
This is the Trudeau-era hangover in a new suit. Carney lectures about unity while Canada shows up to a sovereignty fight with technocrat talking points and dependency baked into the economy. When your entire strategy is appease Washington, service global capital, and call every humiliation resilience, this is where you land. A country rich in energy, metals, timber, and market access reduced to haggling over which tariff collar hurts less. Globalist management has turned Canada from a trading nation into a compliant branch plant.
