🇨🇦 Mid-campaign cabinet theatre as tariffs hit

So Quebec is holding a cabinet meeting in the middle of an election campaign to brace for counter-tariffs, because apparently governing by panic press conference is now a strategy. Christine Fréchette rushed ministers together ahead of the trade fallout, as reported, which tells you everything about the competence on display. Years of elite sermonizing about open borders, global integration and managed dependency, and now the same people suddenly rediscover economic nationalism the second voters get nervous.

This is the Trudeau-era hangover in provincial form: hollow out domestic resilience, tie yourself to fragile cross-border arrangements, then act heroic when retaliation arrives. Ottawa and the provinces spent years obsessing over climate virtue, DEI bureaucracy and mass population growth while productive sectors took the hit. Now they want applause for emergency meetings. Canada should be talking about supply chains, industrial self-sufficiency and political leaders who put national interest ahead of globalist cosplay, not more staged cabinet photos pretending the adults have returned.
