Elbows up, Canada. Canada is furious and Canada is having its voice heard. We're under 10 days from the big election in Canada. We had the big debate take place this past week.

And now it's just it's kind of funny that like the media in America's first kind of picking it up right now. I saw this on CNBC. Canadian small businesses are taking Trump tariffs personally. You think we're also seeing the tourism numbers, not just in Canada, which have plummeted to almost like zero at this point with the boycott of all things American, boycott American products, boycott tourism.

You know, to think about as an American, in a Canadian debate that that would be the biggest threat. That's where we are right now under the Trump regime. Here's what Carney said as well. Let's play the other clip.

113.579 - 138.038 Unknown Speaker

We are facing the biggest crisis of our lifetimes. Donald Trump is trying to fundamentally change the world economy, the trading system. But really what he's trying to do to Canada, he's trying to break us so the U.S. can own us. They want our land. They want our resources. They want our water. They want our country. We're all going to stand up against Donald Trump. I'm ready.

138.738 - 157.134 Unknown Speaker

I've managed crises over the years. I've built strong economies. We will fight back with counter-terrorists. We will protect our workers and those businesses, and we will build the strongest economy. We will build Canada strong. I'm asking for your support, the honor of doing so. Thank you.

185.093 - 199.183 Ben Meiselas

And Trump was like saying, you know, oh, we, you know, they're going to go after the plastic straws. They're going after the plastic. We're plastic. We're pro plastic straw and made that like a centipede. Look at Poliev, the right wing MAGA Maple guy from the conservative party. Play it.
