Carney says Canada’s trade with U.S. is mostly tariff-free. But that’s not the whole story

It’s become a common refrain when Canadian politicians are asked about retaliatory measures or negotiations in the ongoing trade war: 85 per cent of Canada’s trade with the U.S. is “tariff-free.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney said as much on Tuesday and again on Friday, when pressed for information about his next salvo in the dispute with the U.S. after President Donald Trump imposed 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods that aren’t compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

“We’re in a situation right now where 85 per cent of our trade with the United States is tariff-free,” Carney told reporters at a news conference in Trenton, Ont., on Friday.

So no “Elbows” required?

Canada’s prime minister tells Canadians to get their news from state-controlled media

In Canada, free speech is no longer a thing.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney utilized an August 5 press conference in British Columbia to dismiss concerns over Liberal legislation (Bill C-18) that would forbid news outlets from sharing news on social media, particularly during emergencies. The Canadian Commie globalist didn’t just refuse to rescind the aforementioned Bill C-18. No siree, he also urged his fellow Canucks to rely on government-funded CBC News for fair and unbiased information.

Conrad Black: I put in a good word for Canada with Trump. If only Carney could do the same …

It is difficult for an outsider to get a clear idea of how the Canada-U.S. trade discussions are developing. As frequent readers may recall, I was seriously embarrassed at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s hokey election masquerade as Winston Churchill translating the Scarborough Bluffs into the White Cliffs of Dover and shaking his righteous Canadian fist at the much-maligned U.S. President Donald Trump on the farther shore “trying to break us.” He all but promised to fight in the fields and hills (and wine cellars of Rockcliffe and billiard rooms of Westmount and the indoor swimming pools of Rosedale). My civic disappointment was tempered by my longstanding opinion that in politics, anything that works, no matter how outlandish, is acceptable if it isn’t illegal. The vapid farce of Carney’s “finest hour” narrowly passed that test, even if it reflected no credit on him or his voters.

‘Federal Regulator Predicts Decline in EV Sales Before 2026 Mandate’

Canada’s energy watchdog is forecasting a decrease in electric vehicle sales this year as Ottawa gears up to implement mandatory sales quotas for zero-emission vehicles in 2026.

Electric vehicle sales fell 23 percent in the first quarter of 2025 in comparison to the same timeframe last year, causing market share to dip to just 9 percent, according to a new report from Canada Energy Regulator.

PINDER: Socialism’s return… why the 20th century’s biggest flop is coming back

One of the defining themes of the 20th century was the failure of socialism as a means of organizing an economy or society. The triumph of the United States and the free-market West over the Soviet Union and its planned-economy allies in the Cold War was not primarily military — it was a victory of markets over command-and-control systems.

Yet in the 21st century, socialism continues to gain ground, threatening our prosperity and freedom.

Housing crisis may get worse, new forecasts show

OTTAWA — Canada’s housing crisis may get worse before it starts to show much relief, as new projections say that the number of housing starts will actually decrease this year and next.

These new estimates, from both public and private sector housing forecasts, contradict political promises from all levels of government to boost supply of homes across the country.

It’s all good Carney and his pals will continue making money off the shortages mass immigration creates.

LILLEY: Softwood lumber tariffs soar as Mark Carney’s plan fails to deliver

No deal is better than a bad deal – that’s the message Prime Minister Mark Carney and his team keep selling to Canadians as their efforts to find a deal with Donald Trump falter.

That message became harder to sell Friday night as duties on softwood lumber skyrocketed to 35%.

KLEIN: Carney sits idle as billions of dollars flow to the U.S.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been in office long enough for Canadians to start asking a simple, unavoidable question: What is he actually doing?

Yes, we are pleased that goods compliant with the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) remain tariff-free. That is the baseline expectation for a modern trade relationship with our largest trading partner. But that small relief is overshadowed by the fact that tariffs on other Canadian goods have jumped to 35%. Those tariffs don’t just hurt Canadian exporters; they hit American businesses and workers as well. They weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world.

Poilievre Calls for Scrapping EV Mandate After Auto CEOs’ Private Letter to Carney Made Public

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is once again calling for Ottawa to overturn its electric vehicle (EV) mandate, echoing a letter five automobile CEOs sent to the prime minister in May that was recently released.

“Automakers have warned Mr. Carney of the job losses and rising costs from his ban on gas-powered vehicles. We must allow people the freedom to choose,” the Tory leader said on Aug. 7.

HANNAFORD: Ottawa’s eternal quest to shape what Canadians say and think

Is it an exaggeration to say Canada’s Liberal government uses newspaper subsidies and internet regulation to control what Canadians read and say?

Host Nigel Hannaford puts the question to former CRTC commissioner and one-time Calgary Herald publisher Peter Menzies: “I don’t think you’re overstating the situation at all,” says Menzies.

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside Joly’s home, raising security concerns

A pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the home of Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has sparked calls for the government to consider security measures to protect politicians from protests at their residences.

A group of up to 60 protesters chanted slogans, rang bells, banged pots and projected messages onto Ms. Joly’s house in Montreal on Wednesday evening, in an escalation of protest activity over the situation in Gaza.

But they’re her constituents!

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly implied that the 7,000 or so Arabs in her Montreal riding influence her positions on Israel

Carney tells Métis leaders Indigenous rights are ‘at the core’ of major projects law

Prime Minister Mark Carney told Métis leaders on Thursday their voices will be heard and rights respected as the Liberal government implements its legislation to fast-track major projects deemed to be in the national interest.

As he opened a small summit in Ottawa, Carney said for too long economic and public policy decisions were made without listening to Métis voices. But “we’re listening now,” he added.

“Respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples is at the core of the Building Canada Act. It’s embedded in the law itself,” Carney said inside the Centre for Geography and Exploration at 50 Sussex Drive, along the Ottawa River.

Carney’s Canada

At the end of the 1880s, reports Desmond Morton in “A Short History of Canada,” the United States was booming while Canada stagnated. Even Friedrich Engels, during a visit to the U.S. and Canada in 1888, recognized “how necessary the feverish speculative spirit of the Americans is for the rapid development of a new country.” However, the situation was so bad in Canada that opposition leader Wilfrid Laurier, who became prime minister in 1896, ruefully stated, “We have come to a period in the history of this young country when premature dissolution seems to be at hand.”

How do Canadian officials detect plagiarized refugee claims?

A failed refugee claimant came to Amandeep Singh in May for help after he was refused because his claim was “nearly word for word” identical to others before the refugee board.

While the Edmonton-based immigration consultant had heard for a long time that some claimants and their counsel have plagiarized claims to game the system, what struck him was what tool the refugee board and immigration officials use to flag these cases, which he says seems to have happened more often.

Five auto CEOs warned Carney in May that EV mandate would ‘inflict serious damage’ across industry

OTTAWA — Less than two weeks after the Liberal cabinet was sworn in, the presidents of the five major automakers appealed directly to Prime Minister Mark Carney, requesting him to “urgently” repeal the federal zero-emission vehicle sales mandate, warning of industry-wide repercussions if it is not.

More than two months later, and with no public indication as to whether the government will listen, frustration is only building, says Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, which sent the May 26 letter and represents Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.

Carney is as bad as Junior and possibly as twisted as his wife when it comes to evangelical eco-nuttery.
