Canada Just Broke up with US

Canada just elected a new prime minister, and his first rule of action? Dumping America.


Newly minted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has put American allyship on the back burner.


“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over. What exactly the United States does next is unclear, but what is clear, what is clear is that we as Canadians have agency. We have power. We are masters in our own home. We can control our destiny. We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government, including the United States, can ever take away. We can deal with this crisis best by building our own strength right here at home.”


Carney warned that Canada, one of the top importers of U.S. goods, would need to reshape its economy and become less dependent on its unstable ex-ally.


“We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations,” Carney said calling out Trump's "permanent tariffs" as a “very direct attack.”


“We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country,” he said at the time.


The White House has been perpetuating the lie that tariffs on Canada are a bargaining chip to help curb illegal drug trafficking—a threat so minor when you consider more eggs than drugs have been stopped at the border.
