Hold on a second. Canadians have been told, for months, that a key tenet in the Prime Minister's whole trade strategy is "walk away from Washington, pivot to Europe". Now we find out his own officials told him in December 2025 that the pivot runs straight into a wall? The EU's carbon tariff hits Canadian steel, iron and aluminum, the same metals already hit by U.S. tariffs. And even though, with great fanfare, the Prime Minister is forging ahead with some kind of "associate membership" for Canada in the EU, an exemption is "not currently possible." In other words, he sat on that detail for 10 months, until an access to information request forced it out days before he hosts the Canada-EU Summit. So the plan is: turn down the August terms that were agreed then disagreed to in three days with the U.S., tell workers Europe is the answer, and quietly know Europe is putting up its own border charge. According to the @CBCNews report, that charge is close to $900M a year in exposure in Newfoundland and Labrador, $792M in Quebec, and adds up to $150 more per tonne of steel by 2034. And recall that he weakened the carbon price in his Alberta deal while knowing that, with it, he made an EU exemption even harder to get. What kind of diversification is it if you're trading one tariff wall for two and hoping nobody reads the memo?

Mark Carney, your own officials put it in writing in December 2025: Canadian steel, iron, and aluminum face the EU’s carbon tariff. Exemption not currently possible. $2.8 billion in exports exposed. Newfoundland and Quebec hit hardest. You sat on that for ten months while telling workers Europe is the answer and hosting a summit about an “Alliance for the Future.” You said in 2024 that Canada could become the hub for Europe’s carbon border mechanism. Now the same mechanism is a wall for our exporters already dealing with U.S. tariffs. Your Alberta deal slowed the industrial carbon price path, making linkage harder, not easier. The costs—compliance, charges, lost competitiveness—land on Canadian producers and then on the price of cars, buildings, and infrastructure. This is not diversification. It is trading one tariff wall for another while the Parliamentary Budget Officer tracks hundreds of billions in cash borrowing beyond the headlines and interest costs climb. My grandchildren inherit both the debt and the higher prices. Stop the slogans. Release the full memo, the cost estimates, and the actual commitments before you sign anything else. Canadians can decide if this is the plan they want.

What do you notice about this video of Justin Trudeau and Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland?

Oops indeed.

Deliberate rhetoric from the regime. Regimes throughout history have used fear to keep people compliant and distracted while they consolidate power. Mark Carney has said some version of “a more dangerous and divided world” nearly 100 times in 16 months—in speeches, press releases, mandate letters, and X posts. On election night he promised to end the “division and anger of the past.” Since then: • U.S. trade talks collapsed. 50% tariffs now hit ~$20B of Canadian goods.
• Deficit doubled from $36.3B to $72B in one year.
• 68,000 jobs disappeared in September. Youth unemployment at 13%.
• Groceries up 33% since 2020. He keeps pointing at the world outside. The real damage is happening at home—to paycheques, housing, healthcare, and the ability of ordinary Canadians to get ahead. When leaders constantly warn about external threats while the domestic results get worse, the fear isn’t accidental. It’s a tool. Pay attention. 🇨🇦

Carney won;t get his "associate member" of the EU recognition. Maybe they'll offer "Junior Member" instead?

🚨 THE EU IS SLAPPING CARBON TARIFFS ON CANADA. $2.8 BILLION of our steel, iron and aluminum. No exemption. Carney's been selling Europe as our escape from Trump's tariffs. Turns out they want to tariff us too. 😂 And that carbon tax we've been paying for years? It didn't buy us a damn thing. How's that working out? 👋 #CarbonTariff

The Canadian Taxpayer Dollars going into the BLACKHOLE CBC, would be better spent being used in Food banks, 2.35 million Canadians are using every month !

Didn't someone give UVDL the updated talking points that Canada CANNOT become an "associate member" of the European Union. He she is in Montreal gleefully carrying on like nothing has changed.

J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois. La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande. J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné. Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.
