🇨🇦 America says America First. Ottawa still acts shocked

Jamieson Greer said the quiet part out loud: Washington wants manufacturing jobs back from integrated North American supply chains, and Canada is first on the chopping block. That is not a misunderstanding. That is policy. Meanwhile Ottawa spent years worshipping globalization, outsourcing leverage, and pretending continental dependence was strategy. Now 25 per cent U.S. tariffs on finished vehicles and Canadian auto parts are exposing the genius of that plan, as reported.

Mark Wiseman says Canada cannot accept a deal that fails to protect autos. Fine. Then maybe Canada should stop operating like a branch plant with a flag. Heavy- and medium-duty truck production in Ontario supports roughly 20,000 workers, and Washington openly wants that capacity moved south. Trumpworld is blunt about national interest. Ottawa elites are blunt only about surrender, right until the bill arrives. Trudeau-era managerial class politics hollowed out sovereignty, and now the country is discovering that integration without power is just dependency with better branding.
