Chapter 1: How is Canada responding to Trump's trade policies?
Elbows up Canada, Canada strong, Canada proud, Canada standing up to the Trump regime and his co-opting of the United States of America. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued the following statement yesterday, not backing down. He says, At 12.01 tonight, Canada's counter tariffs will come into force. There will be 25% tariffs on all non-CUSMA compliant vehicles from the U.S.
and 25% tariffs on the contents of CUSMA compliant vehicles that are not from Canada or Mexico. President Trump caused this trade crisis and Canada is responding with purpose and with force. The boycott by Canada, of all things American, is getting stronger. By some counts, 70, 85% of leisure tourism coming to a screeching halt. from Canadian tourism into the United States.
Also, the Buy Canada movement in Canada is absolutely crushing it and crushing the United States. They're also setting an example to the rest of the world, to Europe, to Australia, to New Zealand, to Africa. to South America, to Central America, to Mexico, to others, how you stand up to the Trump regime. Look, I gotta hand it to Prime Minister Carney. He's standing up strong to the Trump regime.
He recently spoke in Richmond, British Columbia. I wanna show you some key portions of the speech that he just gave. Let's play this clip first.
The global economy has fundamentally changed because of these actions.
The system of global trade that's existed all my life, most of, well, everyone in this room, pretty much, the system of trade that was anchored on the United States, that we as a country have relied on since the end of the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity to our country for decades, that system is over. Yeah, that system is over.
And our old relationship with the United States, which in fits and starts, but in the same direction, was based on steadily deepening integration, getting closer with the United States. That relationship is over. And in many ways, this is a tragedy. But it's the new reality, and we have to respond to it. And we are responding. We are responding as Canada.
We are responding with purpose and with force. We will fight, we will protect, and we will build.
Now, just contrast Prime Minister Carney like a real leader, a banker who guided Canada through the Great Recession of the early to mid 2000s. Someone who, as a banker, led the UK through Brexit during its most difficult crisis. Cool, calm, composed. Contrast that story. The banker to Trump, the bankruptor, the destroyer. Trump was never a builder.

Chapter 2: What tariffs and boycotts has Canada imposed on the U.S.?
Once again, Donald Trump imposed massive tariffs on the world. This time, he skipped Canada. We got the best of a series of bad deals. You can handle him. We can handle him. We are going to handle him. We are going to handle him. We can handle him. We can handle Donald Trump. That's what he misses, and I'm going to go into that.
But there are three other sets of tariffs in place on auto, on steel and aluminum, and now they are threatening tariffs or announcing tariffs on softwood lumber. They are threatening our businesses, our workers, our families. And all of these tariffs, all of these tariffs, you have different excuses for them. They are all unjustified. They are all unwarranted. They are all misguided.
You know, and here's the thing that I think that Prime Minister Carney recognized and former Prime Minister Trudeau recognized. You can't give Donald Trump an inch. As I've said before from day one, you give Trump an inch. Trump takes your life. He doesn't view concessions as good faith. He views it as weakness. By the way, that's why Xi Jinping is saying, all right, Donald, you're ready to go.
We'll fight. China will fight until the end. Donald, let's let's go. And Donald Trump's now picking these fights. But Canada was, I think, the initial country to show the way. I mean, so like even like the European Union Commission, they initially proposed to drop tariffs to zero and to do a zero to zero kind of tariff swap with Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump's like, nope, even if the EU reduces its tariffs to zero against the United States. We need to force them to buy American products. They have to buy all American energy or else, you know, so there's like nothing that you could absolutely do. Here's what Donald Trump said when he was asked if the European Union agreeing to drop tariffs to zero would be enough to get a deal.
And Trump says, nope, it wouldn't. Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, the EU has said that they have offered zero for zero tariffs on cars and industrial goods. Is that not enough?
Well, the EU, no, it's not. The EU has been very tough over the years. I always say it was formed to really do damage to the United States in trade. That's the reason it was formed. It was formed with all of the countries from Europe. I guess most of them, not all of them, but most of them.
And they formed together to create a little bit of a monopoly situation, to create a unified force against the United States for trade. So they have NATO, which is largely the same countries, and they took advantage of us dollar-wise and militarily until I got there. You know, I was able to get $600 billion from NATO
