Statement by Prime Minister Carney to mark the New Year
December 31, 2025
Ottawa, Ontario

“Tonight, Canadians will gather with loved ones to celebrate the start of the New Year.

This is a time for families and friends across the country to come together and to welcome the year ahead. On New Year’s Eve, we pause to reflect on the moments over the year that brought us joy, and the people in our lives who made them special.

Although this year has brought more than its share of challenges to our country, we have also been reminded that we are fortunate to be part of one extraordinary, generous, and caring nation.

We are strongest when we are united, when we look out for each other, and when we take care of each other. That is what makes Canada strong.

As this year comes to a close, we resolve to carry that same spirit and those same values into 2026.

Happy New Year, Canada.”


Canada’s Aluminum Decision Trigger U.S. Supply CRISIS — Trump Has No Solution!

This story breaks down how Canada’s aluminum decisions triggered a full-scale supply crisis inside the United States — and why Trump has no viable solution heading into 2026.

For decades, the U.S. relied on Canadian aluminum as the backbone of its manufacturing sector. Canada supplied more than half of America’s total aluminum needs, providing clean, hydro-powered metal that U.S. producers could no longer make competitively at home. Trump believed tariffs would force Canada into submission.

Instead, Canada adapted.

This analysis examines how Trump’s aluminum tariffs backfired by pushing Canadian producers to redirect shipments toward Europe and Asia, permanently reshaping global aluminum trade flows. As Canadian smelters diversified away from the U.S., American manufacturers were left paying higher premiums, absorbing massive tariff costs, and scrambling for supply that does not exist domestically.

We look at why the United States cannot replace Canadian aluminum — not in months, not in years, and possibly not ever. Rising energy costs, shuttered smelters, grid constraints, and long-term infrastructure losses have left American production structurally uncompetitive. Meanwhile, Canada’s hydroelectric advantage has become a strategic asset it has no reason to surrender.

This video also explores how aluminum has quietly become leverage for Canada ahead of the 2026 CUSMA negotiations — and why every month this crisis continues deepens America’s dependency while locking Canada into new global partnerships.

This isn’t just a story about tariffs or metal.

It’s about how trade pressure exposed dependence — and how Canada turned that exposure into power.
