Trump’s Big Tariff Win EXPOSED as Illusion — Canada’s GDP Blowout Tells a Different Story - Dec 1

Trump claimed his tariffs would spark an American economic revolution — but the numbers tell a very different story.

In this video, we break down the massive plot twist unfolding across North America: Canada’s shock GDP surge, the global backlash to Trump’s tariff strategy, and the quiet economic pivot that nobody in Washington saw coming.

While Trump celebrates what he calls a “historic tariff victory,” new data shows Canada posting a 2.6% GDP boom, far above forecasts. Oil exports jump, government investment accelerates, and unexpected global shifts — from German tourism to India’s billion-dollar deals — are reshaping the economic landscape.

This is the real story behind the U.S.–Canada trade war, the global reaction to Trump’s second-term tariffs, and the emerging economic momentum that’s turning Canada into a far more diversified, resilient player on the world stage.

Rolls-Royce Joins Canada’s Gripen Bid | The Wolff RESPONDS - Nov 30

The F-35 deal is on the brink of collapse. With Prime Minister Mark Carney ordering an emergency review of the $27 billion contract, a new contender has emerged from the shadows—and it’s not just the Saab Gripen. It’s the engine inside it.

In this video, we analyze the explosive rumor that could redefine North American defense: A Rolls-Royce powered Gripen E. This theoretical "sovereign" fighter would allow Canada to bypass US export controls, evade ITAR restrictions, and break free from Washington's political leverage during the escalating trade war.

Is this the beginning of a "Mixed Fleet" strategy, or a total geopolitical rupture? Watch the full analysis to find out.

The Most Important Part of The Pipeline Deal - Not Explained By The Media - Dec 1

Canada reaches deal to participate in E.U. defence procurement program – December 1, 2025

Speaking with reporters on Parliament Hill, Defence Minister David McGuinty confirms the conclusion of negotiations for Canada’s participation in the European Union’s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) program. The deal opens more opportunities for Canadian companies to take part in E.U.-supported defence procurement projects.

Canada’s New Gripen Deal Just Revived the Avro Arrow Legacy — Thanks to Rolls Royce! - Dec 1

This video takes you deep inside one of the most important defense debates of 2025: Canada’s potential shift toward the Swedish Gripen fighter and the broader impact this move could have on North American airpower. We explore how Canada’s geography, Arctic responsibilities, engineering legacy, and desire for greater sovereignty intersect with Gripen’s unique design philosophy. From dispersed basing to maintenance flexibility and the possibility of a new aerospace partnership with Europe, this analysis breaks down why Gripen is gaining attention across Canada and why Washington is watching closely. Whether you follow military aviation, geopolitics, or North American security, this is a story you won’t want to miss.

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to transform Canada’s steel and lumber industries - Dec 1

Canada’s new government has moved quickly to protect and strengthen the sectors most affected by U.S. tariffs – introducing new measures to help workers gain new skills, support businesses as they modernise and diversify, and boost domestic demand for Canadian goods.

Canada’s EXIT Explodes U.S. Auto Supply Chain — Detroit NEVER Saw This Coming - Dec 2

Canada has just made the boldest economic move in North American history—and the impact is shaking the U.S. auto industry to its core. After months of tariff threats, supply-chain chaos, and political pressure from Washington, Prime Minister Mark Carney has officially withdrawn Canada from joint U.S. auto cooperation. What follows is a stunning breakdown of how America’s auto sector spiraled into crisis overnight.

Canada Scores Big in Tourism, Wine, and Auto — Washington on High Alert - Dec 2

A quiet economic shock is hitting North America. As Washington escalates tariffs and the trade war, Canadians are quietly pulling back their money from the United States—cutting trips, delaying U.S. car purchases, and spending record amounts inside Canada instead.

Tourism, domestic consumption and new trade routes with Europe and Asia are turning into a powerful internal engine for Canada… while U.S. exports, auto sales and border communities begin to feel a demand shock that Washington did not expect.

Carney addresses AFN gathering in Ottawa - Dec 2

Prime Minister Mark Carney addresses hundreds of First Nations chiefs gathered in Ottawa. His speech comes after chiefs voted to call for the withdrawal of last week's Canada-Alberta memorandum of understanding and for the oil tanker ban along B.C.'s northern coast to be upheld.

Mark Carney Makes Entire Parliement Laugh With Joke On Poilievre - Dec 2

Today’s Question Period turned into one of the most revealing moments of Canada’s political landscape. Mark Carney walked into Parliament and calmly dismantled Pierre Poilievre’s attacks with sharp clarity, controlled delivery, and facts that instantly deflated Poilievre’s narrative. While Poilievre tried to frame housing, affordability, and government performance as failures, Carney hit back with a single line that changed the entire tone: lifelong politicians “don’t build anything” — real leaders deliver results.

But the moment Poilievre thought he had leverage was when Carney left the chamber mid-session. Poilievre attempted to mock him, calling it a retreat. Seconds later, the truth landed like a hammer. Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon revealed Carney left to address the Assembly of First Nations — fulfilling a national responsibility, not running from debate. In one moment, Poilievre’s entire setup collapsed. Today highlighted the difference between political theatre and genuine leadership: Poilievre shouts in the House; Carney gets things done across the country.

Canada’s Block on U.S. Beef Just Started a GLOBAL Chain Reaction - Dec 3

Canada’s massive rejection of over 150,000 tons of U.S. beef has triggered one of the biggest global market shifts we’ve seen in years — and the world is now scrambling to understand what this means for food security, trade relations, and America’s long-standing dominance in the beef export industry.

In today’s video, we break down exactly why Canada blocked these U.S. beef shipments, how international buyers reacted, and why countries like Japan, Germany, and the UAE are quietly turning to Canada as a more stable, reliable supplier. From rising trade tensions and tariff retaliation to fears of supply-chain instability across North America, this story is bigger than a single shipment — it signals a major realignment in the global beef market.

You’ll discover how this decision has affected U.S. ranchers, why storage facilities are filling at record speed, and how Canada’s calm, strategic diplomacy is positioning it as a new leader in global beef exports. Experts are already calling this a “market reset,” and the consequences could reshape international trade for years to come.

Tariff pivot: A golden time for Canada’s entrepreneurs?

Canadians Share The REAL Reasons They Still BOYCOTT American Goods and US Travel - Dec 2

New data (linked below) shows that 4 in 5 Canadians think boycotting buying American-made goods and avoiding travel to the United State in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods is helpful or at least somewhat helpful in strengthening Canada’s bargaining position with the US. Bill asks his Canadian listeners if, why and how they are continuing to boycott US travel and American products in retail and grocery stories.

The Arctic is Changing and Canada Needs THESE Submarines - Dec 3

Imagine a submarine that never needs a crew, never needs food, never gets tired and can patrol the Arctic under the ice for months at a time, completely undetected. That future isn’t decades away. It’s here.

In this video, we dive into how unmanned autonomous submarines could give Canada its first real Arctic advantage in modern history. While Russia expands its icebreaker fleet and China positions itself as a “near-Arctic state,” Canada faces a historic opportunity: leapfrog traditional military procurement and deploy a fleet of autonomous under-ice platforms that patrol 24/7, cost a fraction of nuclear subs, and finally give Canada persistent presence in the North.

This is more than defence, it’s sovereignty. And the country that masters under-ice autonomy will dominate the Arctic for the next century.

In this Arctic defence deep dive, we break down how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) work, why Canada’s geography makes them ideal, and how a swarm of low-cost robotic submarines could monitor Arctic shipping lanes, track foreign submarines, map the seabed, protect future infrastructure, and give Canada true situational awareness for the first time. We also compare autonomous submarines to crewed fleets, and Canada's current capabilities and explain why choosing unmanned platforms may be the smartest strategic decision our country can make.

Canada to OPEN First Natural Hydrogen Well While the U.S. Is Still at Zero - Dec 3

Canada has just taken a historic lead in the global clean-energy race. By preparing to open its first natural hydrogen well in Saskatchewan—while the United States remains at zero—Canada is stepping into an entirely new energy frontier. This breakthrough arrives at a moment when President Donald Trump is doubling down on tariffs, pressuring allies, and insisting the U.S. still dominates the energy landscape. The contrast is striking: Canada is investing in the next generation of fuel, while Washington hesitates and falls behind. Natural hydrogen could power AI data centers, strengthen Canada’s energy independence, and reshape North America’s strategic balance. In this video, we break down why this moment matters, how it caught the U.S. off guard, and what Canada’s leadership means for the future of clean energy.

Mélanie Joly FIGHTS BACK TEARS — The Pain Behind Canada’s Breakdown - Dec 4

Mélanie Joly’s emotional press conference shocked Canada. For the first time, Canadians saw a federal minister break through the political script and speak from the heart about the families hit hardest by the steel layoffs in Sault Ste. Marie. This wasn’t staged drama. This was raw, real, and deeply personal.

In today’s video, we break down why Joly’s voice cracked, what pushed her to speak out so forcefully, and how Donald Trump’s 50% steel tariffs triggered a crisis that Canadian workers are still paying for. From Ottawa’s $400M intervention to Canada’s shift away from U.S. dependency, this moment exposes a much bigger story about economic pressure, political courage, and the future of Canadian jobs.

We also look at Joly’s powerful response to questions about the F-35 program, pipeline politics, and the Stellantis contract controversy — and why her honesty stunned reporters.

Introducing DRUbit for Roads: The Future of the Oil Sands is Not a New Pipeline - Dec 4

Get excited, Energi Media folks. The future of the oil sands has arrived. An Indigenous-owned company has developed proprietary technology to ship bitumen - by rail and ship - to Asia and Europe for road building. Not refineries, asphalt. Imagine a future where Alberta creates 2x to 4x more value with bitumen while not burning it as fuel. That future is here.

Carney & Métis Leaders Shut Down Trump — “We’re Not For Sale - Dec 3

Canada just delivered one of the strongest messages of sovereignty in modern history.

During the Louis Riel commemoration, Métis President David Chartrand confronted the rising pressure from Donald Trump’s tariff policies and sent a message that echoed nationwide: “We’re not for sale.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney stood alongside Métis leaders in silence — a silence that spoke louder than any speech.

As Trump escalates his economic pressure on Canada, the response from Winnipeg became a defining moment of national identity, resilience, and political clarity.
