🚨🇨🇦 BREAKING: Stellantis’ CEO just said they’ll invest $13 BILLION in the U.S. over the next 4 years. Meanwhile… 🇨🇦 The Liberals handed Stellantis $15 BILLION of YOUR money. 🇨🇦 Canadians got layoffs. 🇺🇸 America got the factories. We didn’t “attract investment.” We accidentally funded U.S. industrial policy.🇺🇸 Only in Canada do we pay companies to leave. #cdnpoli #Canada #Stellantis #TradeFail #Autoworkers #CdnEcon

America’s “trade war” with China? A theater of self-sabotage. Tariffs crushed U.S. consumers, disrupted supply chains, and left China stronger on the global stage. #TradeFail #USChina #EconomicReality

Trump puts tariffs on soybeans → China goes elsewhere → Trump begs → China wins. Guess who really got the deal? 😂 #TradeFail #ChinaWins

🚨 Enough is enough. The ANC’s incompetence and negligence have helped push us into this tariff-trap. According to the South African Reserve Bank’s latest review, about two-thirds of South Africa’s exports to the United States are now subject to steep tariffs — because we failed to secure a trade deal. What does that mean? • Exports under threat → jobs lost. The Reserve Bank warns of thousands of job losses next year. • Growth crippled – our already weak economy takes another hit. • All this while the ANC sits idle, apparently more focused on internal power games than defending the country’s economic future. Let’s be crystal clear: This is not just a problem of foreign tariffs. It’s a direct consequence of the ANC’s failure to negotiate, protect, and diversify our export markets. To the ANC: Stop blaming global forces and start owning your disastrous trade record. South Africans didn’t vote for job losses, economic stagnation and weak leadership. We deserve better than this. #Accountability #TradeFail #SouthAfrica #ANC #JobsAtRisk

@PierrePoilievre Cut the crap! Carney didn’t “promise” squat—Trump’s tariff tantrum killed talks! July 21st was a goal, not a miracle. Jobs fleeing? Your whining won’t fix it, hypocrite. Quit pointing fingers and get lost—Canada’s done with your circus! #TradeFail

💥UNBELIEVABLE! A recent @Ipsos poll reveals that two-thirds of #Canadians are urging for a trade deal with the US as soon as possible, yet our government's juvenile “elbows up” tariffs – pushed by @MarkJCarney – have devastated our economy and strained Canada-US relations, especially after his failed meeting with #Trump on October 7th. While other nations have successfully negotiated trade deals, our leadership’s blunders leave us lagging. It’s time for a change! #TradeFail #CanadaEconomy #TrumpDeals #CarneyMess #BreakingNews #TrendingNow #cdnpoli📉🇨🇦#CanadaFirst #TradeFail @Swiftie01 @howardlutnick @potus @PierrePoilievre Full article here 🗞👇🏻 Last week a great deal of media coverage emerged from a meeting hosted by the Bank of Montreal and the Eurasia Group with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. It was reported that, according to three sources that were at the meeting, Lutnick dismissed the possibility of a comprehensive auto deal with Canada. Lutnick reportedly commented that the U.S. could continue to buy auto parts from Canada, but not full vehicles. As about 90 per cent of vehicles produced in Canada are exported to the U.S., this would be a very big deal. The meeting was apparently held under Chatham House Rules, which state that meeting participants can discuss the issues raised at the meeting publicly, but cannot attribute remarks or statements to any one individual at the meeting. By speaking about this issue publicly and attributing the remarks to Lutnick, it appears that three people broke the rules. This is pretty offensive, as participants take part in meetings of this sort with the understanding they will not be quoted outside of the meeting room. This format is used to boost mutual trust and encourage people to speak frankly. Considering the already-tense environment of current Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, this breach will do nothing to help that situation and suggests at least three of the participants were untrustworthy. Much panic ensued following these revelations, but a review of the facts is in order. The Canada-U.S. auto industry is immensely integrated, and to imply that this omelet can be easily or quickly unscrambled in one U.S. president’s term defies belief. Carney often boasts that 85 per cent of Canada’s exports to the U.S. are exempt from U.S. tariffs under the USMCA trade agreement, which has been true for years. This statement also suggests that the hysteria about Trump wanting to “break us so American can own us,” as Carney said during the April election, was unjustified and intended to dupe gullible Canadians into voting Liberal. Does the U.S. plan to totally scrap the USMCA agreement? Highly improbable. It’s also worth noting that the Eurasia Group has many close connections to the current Liberal government and has had for some time. Canadian businesses want a trade deal. A recent poll by Ipsos showed that two-thirds of Canadians now support Canada reaching a trade deal with the U.S. as soon as possible. Most business owners knew from the start that Carney’s foolish and juvenile “elbows up” retaliatory tariffs would hurt Canadian businesses and their employees. By the time he reversed these tariffs with elbows firmly down, the damage was done, both to our economy and Canada-U.S. trade relations. It seems that most Canadians are coming to that realization as well. Lutnick’s supposed comments came one day after Carney’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. As many other countries have reached trade deals with Trump, Carney’s continuing failure to do so looks more and more suspect. Public opinion polls indicate that Canadians are moving away from the Trump as bogeyman concerns and are focussing more on issues such as the cost of living, the mess of our immigration system and the related deterioration in our health care system and other social services, the housing shortage and rampant violent crime. These things have all worsened significantly under the last decade of Liberal government. As the Trump “orange man bad” theme benefitted the Liberals immensely during April’s federal election, it makes sense that they want to keep this sentiment alive as long as possible. Ontario Premier Doug Ford was also assisted in his 2025 re-election by demonizing the U.S. president. Ford’s melodramatic, over-the-top reaction to anything coming out of the U.S. suggests he would also like to keep Trump in the crosshairs. Using the U.S. president as a scapegoat for Ontario and Canada’s problems conveniently deflects from the fact that it has been the bad policies of Canada’s governments that are the major factors causing our economic and social woes. A good example of dumb policy from both the federal and Ontario governments was highlighted by the recent announcement that automaker Stellantis would be moving some of its operations from Ontario to Illinois, although specific details have yet to be released. As Stellantis was the recipient of many billions of our tax dollars to manufacture in Canada, politicians and union leaders were enraged by this announcement and vowed various types of revenge. Government subsidies of business, especially of major amounts such as this, have a long history of being wasteful disasters. The federal Liberals and Ontario Progressive Conservatives should be blaming themselves for creating an uncompetitive economic environment, not excoriating companies for seeking greener pastures. It is rumoured that Carney would like to have another federal election prior to the U.S. mid-term elections in November 2026 in the hopes of obtaining a majority government. The fact that leaks from the Lutnick meeting, which could serve to once again incite the “elbows up” crowd, arose from an event co-hosted by the Liberal-affiliated Eurasia Group is interesting, to say the least. Time will tell whether Canadians will get fired up again by the U.S. boogeyman or continue to focus on Canada’s serious, self-inflicted problems like the cost of living, crime, a sluggish economy and other factors affecting their day-to-day lives.

Mark Carney told Canadians he’d “negotiate a win” with the U.S. by July 21, 2025. Since then: 🔻 More tariffs. 🔻 More job losses. 🔻 More excuses. Canada can’t afford another broken promise. While the Liberals talk, our industries are bleeding under policies that punish growth and reward dependence. The Canadian Sovereignty Act is how we start fighting back: ✅ Repeal the Liberals’ job-killing laws like Bills C-69 and C-48 ✅ End the carbon tax, EV mandate, and energy gag laws that drive prices up and investment out ✅ Reward builders, innovators, and provinces that open markets to Canadians ✅ Protect Canadian technology, talent, and ownership from foreign control Carney can’t manage a deal — but Conservatives can manage a nation. It’s time to rebuild, reindustrialize, and restore Canada’s economic sovereignty. #cdnpoli #CanadianSovereignty #MarkCarney #TradeFail #MadeInCanada #CPC #BuildInCanada #EconomicSecurity #OakvilleEast #CommonSenseConservatives

🚨 US & UK just sealed a $350B AI, quantum, and nuclear tech deal, leaving Canada in the dust! Carney’s “elbows up” tariff stunt tanked our shot, and now we’re ghosted.

Trump’s tariffs haul in $150B, but they’re an economic blunder. You, not China, pay via sky-high prices—$80B in consumer costs yearly. Exports like soy crash ($27B lost), jobs vanish, trade wars rage. Rebates? A flimsy fix for a broken plan. Ignores Econ 101: tariffs hurt more than help. #TradeFail #DemsUnited #TrumpTariff

Mark Carney’s idea that Canada can ditch trade deals and rely on itself—calling us “our own best customers”—sounds delusional. Let’s look at history: Nazi Germany tried autarky in the 1930s to become self-sufficient, cutting trade ties and boosting domestic production. By 1945, their GDP crashed 25% (Journal of Economic History, 2010) due to shortages, inefficiencies, and war demands. Sound familiar? Canada’s facing a similar trap. With 75% of our $600B CAD exports going to the U.S. (StatsCan, 2024) and imports like tech and cars ($200B CAD) from abroad, shifting to self-reliance would need a 40% GDP overhaul—impossible without decades of investment and a population of 41M to absorb it. Germany had 70M then and still failed. Why it didn’t work then: Nazi autarky relied on forced labor, rationing, and synthetic production (e.g., ersatz fuels), but raw material shortages and trade isolation crippled them. Canada lacks the industrial base to replace global supply chains—building that capacity would take trillions and years, not months. Plus, our energy exports (e.g., $120B oil) are U.S.-tailored; redirecting them without deals is a pipe dream. Why it won’t work now: Canada’s economy is too small and specialized. Germany’s failure showed autarky needs a war footing or massive state control—unrealistic here with democratic norms and no plan to match. Inflation, unemployment, and currency drops (like post-Brexit UK’s 10% pound fall) would hit fast. Carney’s rhetoric lacks a sequence: no new industries, no trade alternatives, no funding. It’s history repeating—or rather, misremembering. Let’s demand real policy, not historical echoes. #CanadaEconomy #TradeFail #LearnFromHistory

अमेरिका ने भारत पर 25% टैरिफ लगा दिया और सरकार खामोश है! विदेश नीति में ढोल बजाकर दुनिया को लुभाने वाले अब क्यों चुप हैं? जब देश को मज़बूती चाहिए, तब ये सरकार घुटनों पर है। देशहित पर समझौता नहीं चलेगा! 🇮🇳 #TradeFail #WeakOnForeignPolicy

🇺🇸 The US-EU “deal” is a dressed-up concession. American importers still pay 15% tariffs — and guess who eats the cost? You do. Meanwhile, EU walks away with massive contracts and strategic leverage. This isn’t a win. It’s a warning. #USEU #Tariffs #TradeFail #AmericaLast

Trump’s Philippines deal: 19% tariff on their $12-15B imports—semiconductors, clothing, bananas, canned fish—hits your wallet now. Phones, cars, groceries: all pricier. They drop tariffs to 0% on our autos/ag, but their tiny market won’t buy our trucks or beef. Military flex vs. China? Sure, but you’re funding it at checkout. No real reciprocity—just a tax on us. #TradeFail @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @PHgov @FoxNews @MSNBC @joerogan

Here’s the raw deal: •Tariffs up from ~2% to 15% on Japanese imports = instant price hike. •Importers do not absorb these costs—they’re passed right to the shelf tag. •Cars, electronics, appliances—all hit. Toyota, Sony, Panasonic, even smaller parts suppliers. You’ll feel it in monthly payments or price tags. •No reciprocal pain for Japan (yet), so they can keep selling to us while we tax ourselves for the privilege. Now Trump’s camp spins it like: “We’re forcing Japan to play fair—invest here, buy our beef, open markets.” But: •That $550B investment pledge? Vague, not contractually binding. And even if it happens, it goes to projects and infrastructure, not directly to the people feeling the pinch now. •Ag and auto jobs? Maybe. But factory automation and foreign ownership of U.S. plants mean the “job boom” could be a ghost. So yeah—if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, or budgeting for a car, PlayStation, laptop, or even a high-end rice cooker—you’re subsidizing a geopolitical strategy with your wallet. Screwing the working class? Bluntly—yes, for now. And maybe forever if the promised upside never filters down. If you’re looking at buying: •A Toyota or Honda → expect a $1,500–$3,000 increase, depending on the model and how much Japanese content it has. •A PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch → likely $50–$100 bump if tariffs stay locked. •Consumer electronics (TVs, cameras, appliances) → all tick up across the board. Trump’s US-Japan deal: We hit their imports w/ 15% tariffs (up from ~1%), jacking up prices on cars/electronics for working Americans. Japan invests $550B here & eases barriers for our ag/auto exports—but they don’t want our ICE vehicles. Reciprocal? Nah. #TradeFail @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @Japan

Japan 🇯🇵 gets a 15% auto tariff, UK 🇬🇧 gets just 10% for 100K cars, but Canada & Mexico are slapped with 25% under USMCA. GM lost over $1.1 b in Q2 from these tariffs. That’s not fair trade—it’s a betrayal. #TradeFail #USMCA #GM
