VIDEO: Mark Carney Officially Puts A Bullet In Our Relationship With Trump's America In Shocking Press Conference And it wasn't subtle. "It's Over" Dean Blundell Oct 23 October 23, 2025 Mark Carney held a surprise, VERY shocking press conference announcing the end of our relationship with Trump’s America and the importance of building our nations and our military to address the national security threats coming to our shores, was forboding yesterday. And I couldn’t have loved it more. We couldn’t be more grateful for this community and your involvement in growing the resistance. So, we extended the half-price annual subscription deal for October.

This was another STUNNING indictment, regardless. Mark Carney has spent the better part of the first 5 months of his time as PM working to elevate Canada’s partnerships and infrastructure while trying to secure a tariff deal for key sectors, which, up until 48 hours ago, looked like we were making progress on. Did Mark Carney Just Out Smart/Out Wait Trump Into Dropping Key Tariffs? Dean Blundell · Oct 22 The Quiet Art of Getting to Yes Read full story Everything changed, and my sources are telling me why: Mark Carney is now fully aware of Trump’s intentions. His real intentions. To work against Canada’s interests and the interests of our allies, and to (ready for it) and to put Canada in a no-win situation against a Trump/Putin allied partnership, and to turn Canada into a ‘proxy state.’ Greenland too. That’s what Prime Minister Carney telegraphed yesterday. And yes, he’s as serious as a heart attack. The Prime Minister dropped the euphemisms and said the quiet part out loud: the era of ever‑closer economic integration with the United States is over. Not trade itself—our two economies will keep humming—but the old assumption that Washington is a stable, reliable partner we can plan a future around? Gone. This wasn’t a tactical jab. It was a doctrine: Build Canada. Diversify markets. Rewire supply chains. Get shovels in the ground for ports, power, and housing. And stop betting the national balance sheet on the whims of a White House that treats tariffs like a social media post. What changed—really For decades, the easiest move in Ottawa was to let the gravity of the U.S. market do the work. That era delivered prosperity, but it also created a single point of failure. When tariffs doubled and trade rules became a political weapon, Canada was left exposed. The message this week was blunt: we will not keep absorbing chaos imported from Washington. “Our prosperity will no longer hinge on one foreign capital.” Alarmist? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely. A country of our talent and resources should never be one policy tantrum away from layoffs, cancelled investments, or stalled projects. Not when the dickhead throwing those policy tantrums has designs to partner with a genocidal freak in Russia who wants to build a f****** tunnel to Canada via Siberia and Alaska. What “Build Canada” means (in plain English) It’s a three‑part plan—concrete, not poetic: Diversify our trade, fast. The goal on the table: double non‑U.S. exports within about a decade. That’s a moonshot in dollar terms—and a safety valve in strategic terms. It means serious deals and serious sales in the Indo‑Pacific and Europe, not just ribbon cuttings. Build the hard stuff that unlocks growth. Canada is standing up a national projects push—call it a fast lane for ports, rail, transmission lines, LNG and nuclear, critical‑minerals mines, and logistics hubs—paired with a housing production surge so workers can actually live near the jobs we’re creating. Stabilize the supply chain while we pivot. Where sector‑by‑sector truces with the U.S. make sense (think steel and aluminum), take them—on Canadian terms—so factories and foundries can plan beyond next month’s headline. Where the U.S. won’t budge (autos, softwood), stop waiting and move on other fronts. Why now (and why it’s not “anti‑American”) This is pro‑Canadian, full stop. We will always trade with the U.S.; geography guarantees it. But we can be a partner without being a dependent. The new posture is about resilience: Tariff whiplash has become normal. You can’t run a mill, a mine, or an auto supplier on that kind of uncertainty. Investment hates coin flips. Predictable permits and long‑term offtake contracts in multiple markets beat a roulette wheel every time. Allies respect capacity. We’re not retreating—we’re arriving with energy, minerals, food, and technology the world actually needs. We’re not cool with a Trump/Putin-aligned new world order that includes Canada in its plans. Pull‑quote: “This isn’t leaving America—it’s leaving fragility.” The near‑term bridge: sectoral deals where they help Think of sectoral deals as sandbags against the next storm—targeted, practical, fast. Metals: A likely path is a quota‑for‑tariff‑relief formula that calms prices and keeps plants running while we expand market access elsewhere. Energy & infrastructure: Expect regulatory coordination and cross‑border housekeeping where it unlocks value for both sides—no theatrics, just friction‑reduction. Hard files: Autos and softwood remain knife‑edge issues. We’ll pursue them—without letting them hold the entire economy hostage. Translation: Take the wins that stabilize real jobs now, keep building the long game anyway, and not with Trump’s America. New partners, new leverage Indo‑Pacific first. Canada will focus on economies where demand is compounding: Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia), South Korea, and beyond. Europe & the UK remain natural fits for supply‑chain integration in energy, aerospace, agri‑food, and life sciences. India and China are massive markets—approach with clear eyes and guardrails—but ignoring them ceded ground we can’t afford to lose. This is not about chasing headlines; it’s about converting memoranda into containers, electrons, and paycheques. That means ports dredged, terminals expanded, transmission strung, export credit lined up, and a beefed-up military with better partners with sane leaders—before the photo op. What Canadians should expect to actually see Faster permits for nationally significant projects. A single, accountable “fast lane” that measures approvals in months, not election cycles. Named project lists. LNG expansions, nuclear builds, grid interties, mines with offtake deals, and port upgrades that increase capacity—not just studies of studies. Housing at industrial scale. A build agency that assembles land, finance, and approvals so workers can move where opportunity is. Trade missions with deliverables. Not just delegations—contracts. The numbers that matter (keep these handy) Today: Most of our exports still go south. That won’t vanish—and shouldn’t. Target: Double non‑U.S. exports in ~10 years. Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? No—if we fix the choke points: ports, power, permits, and people. Payoff: A Canada that can absorb shocks without mass layoffs, that sets its own tempo, and that commands better terms with every partner—including the U.S. Myths vs. reality Myth: “This is a breakup with America.” Reality: It’s a breakup with complacency. The cross‑border economy remains huge. What’s over is the assumption that our best move is always to wait and hope Washington calms down when Trump leaves. Myth: “Diversification is code for de‑industrialization.” Reality: It’s the opposite. You can’t diversify by shrinking. You diversify by building capacity and selling more to more places. Myth: “We’re too small to matter.” Reality: We are a top‑tier energy, food, and minerals economy with world‑class human capital. Scale comes from execution, not slogans. A quick explainer: What’s a TRQ and why should I care? Tariff‑Rate Quota (TRQ) = A set amount of goods can enter at a low tariff; anything above that pays a punitive rate. Why it matters: Used right, TRQs stabilize prices and planning for mills and manufacturers while bigger politics churn in the background. It’s not sexy. It keeps paycheques landing on Fridays. What to watch next (so we don’t get spun) Actual legal texts changing tariff treatment—not just podium talk. Permitting timelines published and met—for ports, power lines, and major industrial projects. Export deals tied to new routes and new buyers, especially in the Indo‑Pacific and Europe. Budget lines that fund cranes, not consultants. We can keep writing op‑eds about American unpredictability—or we can build a Canada that’s shock‑proof and Trump/Putin ready. That starts with recognizing that the old game is over and playing a better one: more markets, more capacity, more control, and less whatever the f*** that is. Final word: Canada isn’t walking away from anyone. We’re walking toward our own power—ports first, permits fast, partners many. That’s how a country acts when it intends to win.
