Unelected Canada PM Mark Carney Vows to ‘Fight’ Trump Tariffs (that Exempted Canada)
Breitbart ^ | 04/03/2025 | Frances Martel

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, who assumed the top government role after the resignation of his radical leftist predecessor Justin Trudeau, vowed to “fight” the tariffs that President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday — which overwhelmingly did not affect Canada.

President Trump unveiled a long list of reciprocal tariffs on American trade partners on Wednesday, a day he branded “Liberation Day” for the American economy. The tariffs, he explained, were intended to target countries that levy high tariffs on American goods while enjoying nearly fully unencumbered access to the U.S. market.

“Unelected PM” is meaningless in a parliamentary system. he was elected by his party, the same way an PM is elected.

In the meantime, our trade war with the Canucks has boosted Carney’s Liberals. They were deep underdogs, but they’re now polling six points ahead of the Conservatives. (43%-37%.0

ALSOLUTLELY! Under his guidance, the UK has now closed its last steel mill, under Marx Carnage’s ‘net carbon zero’ and ‘green steel’ policies.

If Marx Carnage doesn’t ‘fight bad orange man’, he has to defend his gunmint’s record, and his ‘net carbon zero’ policies, an impossible task. Remember, Marx Carnage was True-dolt’s ‘special economic advisor’ for four years, so he was a major ‘digger’ of the hole Canaduh is in.

I am conflicted as far as who I want to win this election. Polievre is so much better for Canaduh. Carnage’s election will likely result in an independence vote in Alberta, that will go through.

So far, Canada is exempt from tariff changes, but that should not be the case. Canada has exorbitant tariffs on some goods, like 268% on some dairy products. All Trump is proposing is “reciprocal tariffs”, where our rates on their goods match their tariffs on our goods. If they want lower tariffs on exports to the US, all they have to do is lower their tariffs on products we export to Canada. Seems fair to me.

Reality and the actual situation make no difference to lefties. With a slightly different set of circumstances, President Trump could have stayed a Democrat and rose to the top of the whole rotten bunch. He could have run mostly on the same platform with a little inconsequential left-wing lunacy added to keep the nut balls placated. The lefties would likely all be worshipping him right now.

The guy is a deceitful scumbag. Can’t have the truth get in the way of his BS “l’m standing strong against mean Mr.Trump” narrative. A lot of Canadians are eating that crap up.

Canada and Mexico are already subjected to the 25% tariff Trump imposed last month, to begin (I believe) in a couple days. This is already higher than their “reciprocal tariffs” would have been. Both Canada an Mexico would have been the minimum 10% using Trump’s formula.

No he is a self serving globalist looking to get elected. Charging the Canadian population into a war with the USA is so harmful to Canada. And I think he knows this, but is riding the wave of “Orange man bad” to get elected. And Canadians are stupid enough mewling kittens to fall for it. I am really disgusted by fellow Canadians lately.

Just adds to my contempt for fellow Canadians. I visit other forums and to what I have listened to is a magnified anti-American sentiment with someone who just said they are cancelling Prime Video. (They better cancel Netflix too, since that is American)

Well, that didn't last long...

Canada spectacularly bends the knee to the U.S. as Trump scores major victory over the '51st state'
