Canada's close ties to the United States were once a strength but have become a weakness, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday, in a video message to his country in which he also praised the heroism of military leaders who fought against U.S. invasion more than two centuries ago. Holding up a small toy soldier depiction of General Isaac Brock, the British military leader who died defending what is now Canada from a U.S. invasion in the War of 1812, Carney said Canada can't control the disruption coming from its U.S. neighbors, and can't bet its future on the hope that it will suddenly stop.
"The situation today feels unique, but we've faced down threats like this before," Carney said, referencing Brock and several other Canadian historical figures, including Chief Tecumseh who united Indigenous Nations across the Great Lakes to resist U.S. expansion in 1812. Carney, who secured a parliamentary majority for his Liberal government last week, has said his electoral win will help him deal more effectively in the trade war started by U.S. President Donald Trump.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick slammed Canada as a difficult trading partner last week.

The only weak thing is Carney
A weakness because we are preventing them from going full blown communist.
First, the Europeans and Canada have demonstrated they are not good allies. Trump was right as usual.
And these left wing governments, many of them very unpopular, are using a fight with America and Trump to rule up their voters to stay in power.
Their anti American is a prescription for disaster.
Meanwhile this pig Carney is getting closer to his communist friends in China.
I agree. Let Alberta go.
So the USA is suddenly a threat to Canada? Lets close that border and see how long the Carney regime lasts.
Is this the Babylon Bee?
If he meant that Canada needs to be more self reliant I would agree but he means to sell his country out to the Red Chinese
He’s causing it to make excuses to be closer to China. Won’t work. Trump will kick China out even harder. Canada couldn’t have picked a bigger loser than this creep.
Who wants a fascist Country on the border?
[Review the shenanigans of Christina Alexandra Freeland ...]
The sideshow carney is not much better.
What a Wiener. Carney is, and all of Canada soon will be, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xi Jinping and China in general.
Carney is EU Deep State, and Chicom, puppet.
LOL- meanwhile Canada’s largest revenue producing province, Alberta, is voting to breakaway and this fool is focusing on this...
good luck schmuck face..
Wait until we close our borders to all Canadian trade and watch the communist country starve. Their stupidity just means more jobs and money for Americans.
let me add- i just clicked on the article only to find out that Rooters is now charging?? LOL...
Canada lives a charmed life thanks to big brother, the USA.
So go ahead and secede. No one's stopping you.
Unfortunately not.
It is a soft war that is being waged against the United States.
