What an exciting opportunity for Canada: we can “participate in the reshoring” of production to the United States. From, say, Canada. It’s very simple: as the Trade Representative explains, we agree to open our markets to the United States, and in return they agree to close their markets to us. Where do we sign?!

And it is only firming up.

Boos richly deserved, EVERY TIME HE TOUCHED THE PUCK.

The awkward truth dogging USMCA talks: 'They just hate Canada.'

The Trump White House has Canadians on edge as Ottawa braces for a trade review with a $1 trillion relationship in the balance.

- Brian Clow (former Trudeau deputy chief of staff) says senior Trump‑aligned influencers “just hate Canada.”
- This hostility is shaping the tone of the USMCA review before it even begins.
- Some U.S. officials have made aggressive statements, including:
- “The U.S. doesn’t need anything from Canada.”
- America is taking back car assembly and Canada can’t stop it.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says Trump is considering ripping up the deal.
- He floated the idea of separate bilateral protocols with Canada and Mexico.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reshuffled the “Team Canada” trade lineup:
- Replaced ambassador Kirsten Hillman with Mark Wiseman (ex‑BlackRock).
- Added veteran negotiator Janice Charette.
- Goal: convince the U.S. to lower tariffs and stabilize the relationship.

Pretext for invasion and annexation.
