Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will double its non-US exports as Canadians can't rely on US
We need to, fuck the us
This is the only way to hurt Trump. Financially. It’s all a grifter knows. I wish ALL countries would blacklist America.
His reign won’t be stopped with arms and violence. It’ll be stopped by boycotts. And we’re now barreling towards a national labor strike. All we need is just to be pushed into the “nothing left to lose” category…
Trump's so fragile, there are so many other ways to hurt him 😂
Apparently he hates being called "Donald".
I just realized that McCain is a Canadian company. Sorry, I've been boycotting their fries and stuff for the past few months, but it was a mistake - damn you, John McCain!
The McCains still have their list of problems, much like other large Corporations and billionaires, but they are Canadian.
as long as its not relying on russia down the line, which is what they want to have the US weakened, by extension the rest of the western countries become disarrayed.
Sure, just announce we are doubling exports. Anyone else noticing how Carney says stuff without any real detail on how he plans to do it? The CDN government has thousands of people for decades trying to increase exports abroad. We have little manufacturing left to export, so we're turned into a mining based economy.
I'm pretty tired of politicians selling old ideas as new. We need some innovation.
I mean at the least it looks like we're taking some steps to avoid the clusterfuck that the USMCA resigning is likely to be by getting ahead of it.
Its not hard to double exports to other countries when your main trading partner (US) stops taking your stuff. Talking out of my ass, but it seems like doubling exports to other countries wouldn't be that hard when we wind up having a surplus because US trade dries up. Seems like it'd push prices of our goods lower and hurt Canadians, which is what he seems to be implying to me.
So, you are saying we sold all our possible exports to only the US?
Why should Europe import our lumber?
Carney is softening us up to the reality that tariffs will last as long as the US wants them to, and there is fuck all he can do about it.

In many (if not most) sectors the Canadians have already seen a substantial switch to exporting to other regions. That’s why they have not seen a substantive decrease in exports despite the US tariffs. There are several sectors that are being held back because of other trade issues that the government has the ability to resolve and they’ve already been making friendly with several countries they were already having a variety of trade or political conflicts with under the previous government (China/India for instance). So the current administration absolutely has the power to help with this shift, which is economically wise.
This is a fair criticism. Canada needs investment. Path to actual export growth is investment from countries who would want to import from Canada, or investment that allows Canadians to invest to refine/value add to other investments. For an export strategy to work, we need to stop being on the wrong side of geopolitical hate, and be welcoming of investments from the part of the world that is growing, and can grow if free of US extortion.
If we fail in implememting old ideas how are we going to succeed in innovation?
I'll believe it when I see it - Carney doesn't seem to actually have done anything so far.
He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.
Not only has he signed multiple trade agreements, but the trade data is showing a solid shift way from the US to other countries already -despite the fact that most industry works on contracts that are longer than 8 months. The fact that it's already moving is impressive. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2025/canada-international-trade/
Do you think we can go without trading with the US? They can go without us but we cannot go without them it is just not feasible
Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.
You seriously think this kind of thing happens overnight?
Carney is very bad at communicating and informing Canadians. He likes to keep everything private until there are results to publish. It keeps me worried that he's accomplishing nothing and my confidence in his abilities is very low considering how he's folded all the hands we actually held.
Okay have a look at the work this guy "Moose on the Loose" has done, he has spent a ton of time digging into this and finding and linking data all back to Mark Carney and his "Blind Trust" https://x.com/dsimieritsch/status/1968058733449375822
This is major progress.
But to get US to beg for economic ties with Canada, we must break military/geopolitical sycophancy ties. Charge a high price for NORAD, Helping the US in a pretenseless war on Venezuela should have a publicly high $ figure as compensation for our evil. Pure evil in Latin America and elsewhere, is something we've officially always supported. Iraq the only exception. Supporting pretenseless wars and coups in Latin America is supporting the same (lack of) principled war on Canada, including fentanyl pretenses.
His speech is promising, but to open Canadian trade, we need to stop pretending that the US controlled world is the free world. While our Ukrainian diaspora has a one sided political criteria, even if they are descendants of nazi war criminals fleeing prosecution for their war crimes, siding with geopolitical lies just gets their country destroyed to the last Ukrainian, and peace with Russia is far more important to defense against the US.
This is a return to the election night speech. The journey has been extremely ugly and unproductive. This is a commitment to saving Canada, but it has to be followed through aggressively with certainty, no matter how polite/diplomatic the language has to remain towards the US.

You know there were Ukrainians in Canada long before WWII right? Or were they communist then ? 🙄
There was a large anti-communist wave, ideologically aligned with ww2 nazis and the recent US sponsored resurgence, and puppet governments. Nazi ideology is/was first and foremost an anti-Communist ideology. US and its colonies have pursued geopolitical nazi ideology even prior to ww2. Last week, on same day, 2 oil refineries with Russian connections in Hungary and Romania were destroyed. Like Nordstream, either its NATO or the substantial Ukrainian refugee populations forcing the continued extermination of Ukrainians, and Russophobia inspired austerity/self-destruction on the NATO colonies. The quiet media on the subject is failure to detract from geopolitical nazi support.
The anti-immigration/replacement theory movement views immigrants and their future babies an act of war against naziism because future nazi rightful rulership will want to genocide them and war-murder their home countries, and they might vote against that. "Immigrant compatible values" rewards those who will commit terrorist acts in favour of nazi warmongering rule.
Canada can't survive as an ideological nazi colony, where it's master is openly subjugating it, as it has always diminished its anti-nazi targets. Enforcing zionist/nazi supremacy in immigration policy is just a small part of the complete corruption of democracy, but the fuller corruption is the ideological programming aligned with US evil.
LOL Yeah Right Carney you start first. When you move 94% of your investments back to Canada from the United States, Stop Gas-Lighting Canadians on the trade deals. Green light #NorthernGetaway and remove all restrictions affecting its production. Then I will start relying more on Canadian business
Now reinstate that fucking Digital Services Tax !
Or, as was originally planned, Negotiate a global minimum tax with the EU and other major markets. Then better yet, remove DRM anti-circumvention legislation. That way Canadian companies can openly jailbreak our phones and offer alternative app stores on the devices we own -with no American middleman taking a third of the money we spend.
anyone can install f-droid. also jailbreaking isn't up to Canadian companies, its up to the device manufacture allowing it and providing warranty for it (which they wont). If you want a phone like that, your best bet is buying a linux phone that is open out of the box, but no companies are canadian that produce it.
