🇨🇦 Carney calls tariffs modest while Canada bleeds

Nineteen months into a trade war with our only serious market, Mark Carney is still pretending the latest U.S. tariffs are relatively modest. That is the level of Ottawa delusion now on offer: America swings, Canada shrugs, and the suits tell provinces to brace for two-plus years of pain. Even their own experts admit both sides are dug in until at least year-end, as reported. Translation: no plan, no leverage, no urgency.

This is what post-Trudeau Canada looks like when sovereignty has been hollowed out by managerial liberals obsessed with optics, climate sermons, and global stage cosplay instead of hard national interest. Trump is acting like a country with economic power. Ottawa is acting like a compliance office hoping for a fair deal from people who respect strength, not process. Dominic LeBlanc and the bureaucracy can keep having professional meetings in Washington, but professionalism is not strategy. If your response to a 19-month economic hit is to downplay it, you are not negotiating, you are managing decline.
