Canada

As Mark Carney closed out his victory speech on election night, he reminded Canadians — as he did through much of the campaign — of the challenges posed by the ongoing tensions with the U.S. administration.

“We will build an independent future for our great country,” he said to the crowd. “Vive le Canada.”

But after touting himself as the best candidate to handle U.S. President Donald Trump, Carney’s Liberals lost key seats on the front lines of the trade war — seats that, had they won, could have pushed the party into majority territory.

People know Carney is a carpetbagger.

Never forget about this picture of me, with Donald Trump’s son-in-law.

I am a lot closer to the Trump family than I made you believe.

So much for elbows up.

But not surprising Donald Trump praises Mark Carney.

After all, Carney sold out our jobs to Trump and he’ll do it again.

It was a wholesale rebuke of Donald Trump. But Republicans are shrugging off the Canadian election results — a race that favored conservatives until it became a referendum on the president — as a warning sign for their party.

The cementing of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party into power on Monday served as an expression of Canadians’ deeply felt anger about the president’s tariffs and annexation taunts. It was evidence of an electorate turning against conservatives in a neighboring country — one Trump has suggested should be the 51st state — when Trump became involved. But on this side of the border, GOP strategists, pollsters and party leaders said they were unbothered by the outcome and dismissed any trouble that may lie ahead for Republicans in the midterms.

Automaker Stellantis is set to shift some vehicle production and revamp its parts supply lines to avoid paying tariffs in the United States.

The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat and other brands plans to move some pick-up truck production to Michigan from Mexico, and is talking with parts suppliers about transferring output to U.S. facilities to boost the American content in its vehicles and dodge the levies, said Doug Ostermann, chief financial officer of the Netherlands-based automaker.

We sorta dodged a bullet this go round.

Controversial buoy barriers that have been used along the southern border may also be deployed along the U.S.-Canada border, NewsNation has exclusively learned.

Over the past few years, these buoys were used by Texas across the Rio Grande to combat the flow of illegal immigration. The move generated controversy and a lawsuit from the Biden administration.

“It’s time to take President Trump’s southern border playbook to the north,” Building America’s Future (BAF) makes clear in its latest campaign, reviewed first by Breitbart News.

The latest ad comes as an expansion of BAF’s original “Chaos at the Border” campaign, which saw the conservative non-profit spending nearly $2 million highlighting the serious consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies.

In contrast, the new campaign ad, “Predator,” actually focuses on the northern border, which notoriously receives far less attention. Regardless, BAF makes it clear in this six-figure campaign that there are still criminals who are exploiting the loose policies of our northern neighbor, Canada.

You think American leftists have Trump Derangement Syndrome? They’ve got nothing on Canadians, who just chose to remain on the path of national decline and self-destruction that they’ve been on for the last ten years, just to spite Donald Trump. In order to demonstrate their nationalism, Canada just chose a socialist internationalist as prime minister. Yes, it’s that crazy, and worse.

U.S. President Donald Trump will seek even more restrictions on Canada’s ability to sign trade agreements with China when Washington and Ottawa start renegotiations on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, an international trade expert predicts.

David Collins, who specializes in international trade and investment law at City St. George’s, University of London, says he expects the United States will seek to toughen up Article 32.10 in the next United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
