Canadians, this won't be easy, but the US has given us a wake-up call. We cannot allow our country to be reliant on any country the way we are on the US. We need the freedom to run our country as we decide, that can't happen when another country can hold our wellbeing hostage to their demands.

Mark Carney: "Very senior U.S. officials have directly made suggestions, intervened, so to speak, in Canadian sovereignty, Canadian democratic processes, encouraged certain outcomes, encouraged certain peoples through that process."

The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money. ​"They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice.

Nearly $200 million to modernise production, protect 6,000 good jobs, and build Canada’s strength at home. We’re backing QuΓ©bec’s aluminum industry and the workers who power it.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney points out that Elon Musk and Trump's crippling of Starshield, to help Russia, has led to deaths and reduced Ukraine's ability to stop indiscriminate attacks on innocent people.

Elon Musk spreads disinformation about Ukraine after being exposed for sabotaging military operations by the WSJ. The US tax funded billionaire, Trump's largest donor, (backed by Israel and Russia); tied to the deaths of thousands of children due to USAid cuts, blames Ukraine for not surrendering.

Canada is moving away from Elon Musk’s Starlink, committing roughly $5 billion to Telesat and expanding satellite partnerships with Europe, South Korea and Norway. Carney cited Ukraine’s Starshield restrictions as a warning against relying on one provider.

Obama: "Canada, that historical adversary of ours. It's your neighbour, a few minutes drive over the bridge. They are the nicest people. And somehow we've gotten them so mad because they're just constantly being abused and talked about. Talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state."

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Mark Carney on U.S. allegations of election interference: "There is no merit to these claims. I'm disappointed that their envoy sees that as his role to make these suggestions. We have no intention to interfere with their democratic processes."

Canada just struck a HUGE new deal with TΓΌrkiye, with plans to expand trade to $10 BILLION & more cooperation on energy and defence. Free trade talks begin next month. While Trump keeps throwing up trade barriers, Canada keeps opening new doors. That's how you build an economy. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ ~ Canadian Outlook

β€œThe biggest lie in Canadian politics is that the mainstream media is β€˜left-wing.’ Conservative-backed, U.S. hedge-fund-owned outlets dominate Canadian news and endorse the CPC election after election. β€œThe media isn’t biased against Pierre Poilievre β€” it tried to get him elected.”

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

Bravo Minister!

Canada is focused on what we can control. Supporting our workers. Building more of what we need here at home. Diversifying our partnerships so we can create new trading opportunities for Canadian businesses. Building big. Building together. Building strong.
