The very day the election writ dropped on March 23, I published the following, and my article has proved accurate. “The media would try to make the election all about standing up to US President Trump, which is a deceptive issue. Trump will be Trump, regardless. No matter who is elected Canadian leader, Trump will remain his unpredictable self. The key to Canada’s success is finding better internal governance that can withstand any international challenge. Wise Canadians must take care of business without false distractions.”
Again, on April 6, I wrote that Trump was a deceptive
distraction. However, during the election, the Liberals played the fear card.
Lazy voters did not want to look deeply at policy, and especially the track record
of Liberalism in Canada. When later questioned, few Liberal voters could say
why they voted for Carney specifically. They never read a platform document.
They wanted to believe the smear myths about Pierre Poilievre because they
wanted Papa Carney to take care of them. They also wanted to forget and deny
what Liberal policy had done to Canada. Carney was their comfort refuge and
also their cover for denialism.
Canadian voters got played. Carney eventually had to visit
Trump, which wasn't very pleasant for Canada. Astute readers of the White House
of Donald Trump knew there would be no change or negotiation that Carney could
make to have tariffs disappear. However, the Liberal machine played upon
voters' fear, then offered Carney as the negotiator saviour of Canada. Voters
were deceived. I knew that Trump would not change for Carney.
What Carney got in the Oval Office was no change to the
substance or intent of trade policy. Carney got a smile, a handshake, a simple
lunch, a reiteration of all that Trump has said about tariffs, and a repeat of
the 'Canada 51st State' insult.
Sitting beside Carney, Trump was asked directly in the Oval
Office if anything could be done to remove tariffs. Trump's direct and
unequivocal response was a resounding “no” that left no room for doubt.
REPORTER: Tariffing Canada. Is there anything he (Carney)
can say to you in the course of your meetings with them today that would get
you to lift tariffs on Canada?
TRUMP: No. REPORTER:
Why not? TRUMP: Just the way it is.
The only cover-up answer Carney could offer reporters later
at the Canadian Embassy was that there is a "process" of discussing
the larger Canada-USA relationship.
This directness of Trump's response underscores the futility of Carney dealing with Trump, and reveals the Liberal scam. It's time Canadians realized the Liberals played the system and misled voters into a false choice.
The future for Canada is to rid
ourselves of our political self-harm, and put the Canadian house in order with
a Conservative Federal government as soon as possible.

Carney appears nice, but his secret finances, and deep state international connections are scary. Gradually the truth comes out. He played a fake hand about Trump and many voters fell for it.
Glad I found this blog. Going back a few articles, makes me realize that I have been missing out. I will certainly pay closer attention in the future.
Yes. We Canadians were played. Now that MPs are elected, the least we can do is to strongly hold them accountable on ethics. They must be moral examples. They must not participate in fraud. I would rather have an MP say nothing, than excuse and rationalize and twist the truth for political gain.
Swapping out Justine for Markie is like crapping your pants and then changing your shirt. The stink remains. He is surrounded by the same Liberals that gave Canada a lost decade.
