🇨🇦 Poll-tested patriotism for a banker’s tariff game

Most Canadians supposedly back Mark Carney’s counter-tariffs, which tells you less about economic wisdom than about how easily Ottawa can wrap consumer pain in a maple leaf and call it leadership. The same class that hollowed out domestic industry, tied Canada to every globalist rules regime on earth, and left us dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains now wants applause for retaliating after the damage is already baked in. As reported, this is being sold as resolve.

Carney’s brand is technocratic theatre: elite banker swagger, managed decline, and the usual promise that experts will calibrate the pain. Funny how the people who never met a sovereignty-eroding trade framework, mass immigration target, or net-zero distortion they did not like suddenly discover national interest when Washington squeezes. Counter-tariffs may feel satisfying, but they are no substitute for rebuilding Canadian production, securing energy independence, and ending the Trudeau-era fantasy that global integration makes a country strong. A sovereign nation produces, extracts, builds, and decides for itself.
