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.

The global race for talent is shifting — and the United States may be losing its biggest advantage. - Jan 2

As Donald Trump tightens immigration rules and creates uncertainty for H-1B visa holders, highly skilled workers are looking elsewhere. And two countries are moving fast to seize the opportunity: Canada and China.

In this in-depth analysis, we break down how Trump’s immigration crackdown is triggering a growing U.S. brain drain, why Canada’s fast visas and clear pathways to permanent residency are attracting top global talent, and how China is selectively pulling in STEM and AI experts to strengthen its innovation base.

We also explore why this moment aligns perfectly with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s long-term vision — building economic power through human capital, stability, and global competitiveness rather than exclusion.

This isn’t just an immigration story.

It’s a global shift that could redefine where the next technology and innovation hubs are built.

Trump H1B visa restrictions and the US brain drain are accelerating a global talent shift, with Canada attracting skilled workers through fast visas and clear residency pathways while China expands its AI and tech talent strategy. As Trump immigration crackdown policies backfire, Canada and China are emerging as global tech hubs, reshaping innovation, competitiveness, and the future of the world talent migration landscape.

Canada's STRONG Response to Trump After Venezuela Invasion - Jan 4

Canada is no longer dismissing Donald Trump’s rhetoric — and the escalation surrounding Venezuela has pushed Ottawa into a new posture.

Following Trump’s statements and actions related to Venezuela, Canadian officials are reassessing U.S. intentions, global stability, and Canada’s own national security assumptions. What alarms Ottawa is not just Venezuela itself, but the language of dominance, control, and unilateral action now being openly embraced by the U.S. president.

In this video, we break down what actually happened, what Trump said at his press conference, and why Canada sees this moment as a dangerous precedent. We examine why Canadian leaders believe Trump is capable of going much further, how Canada is quietly preparing, and why Ottawa is making it clear that it will never be threatened or intimidated.

This is not about panic — it’s about preparation. And it marks a turning point in how Canada views its relationship with the United States under Donald Trump.

Canada Trump response coverage has intensified as the Venezuela crisis pushes Canada to reassess U.S. intentions under Trump foreign policy. The Trump Venezuela escalation has raised alarms about national security, sovereignty threats, and Canada–US relations. As Ottawa responds to Trump’s expansionist rhetoric and references to the Monroe Doctrine, Canada is preparing with allies, reinforcing its foreign policy shift, and signaling it will stand up to intimidation while defending global security and international law.

Carney LEADS Emergency Talks in Europe to Pressurize Trump - Jan 6

As global tensions spike following Trump’s actions in Venezuela and his renewed threats to annex Greenland, Prime Minister Mark Carney has moved quickly to Europe for high-level emergency discussions. What were meant to be routine diplomatic meetings in Paris have turned into urgent coordination talks with European leaders, NATO officials, and Denmark — the country directly responsible for Greenland’s sovereignty.

In this video, we break down why Canada sees Trump’s threats as a warning sign, how Greenland has become a critical test case for global security, and why Carney is working to align allies before annexation rhetoric becomes normalized. We also examine Carney’s firm defense of Canadian energy, his message to NATO, and why Ottawa believes collective action is the only way to prevent further escalation.

This is not about panic — it’s about prevention. And Canada is no longer waiting to see what happens next.

Mark Carney’s Europe trip signals a major Canada Trump response as annexation threats involving Greenland and escalation in Venezuela raise global alarm. From Carney’s NATO meeting to emergency talks in Paris, Canada is leading a Europe alliance to counter Trump’s unpredictable actions.

Can the U.S. get Venezuela's 'oil flowing' like Trump promises? - Jan 6

Canada’s Arctic Move LOCKS the U.S. Out of a $900B Corridor - Jan 5

This video breaks down how Canada’s Arctic strategy has quietly locked the United States out of a $900 billion trade corridor — and why Trump’s pressure didn’t intimidate Ottawa, but accelerated one of the biggest power shifts in the Arctic.

For decades, the U.S. treated the Northwest Passage as an international shortcut it could use without consequences. Canada claimed sovereignty on paper but lacked the infrastructure to enforce it. That changed when Trump escalated economic threats and trade pressure. Instead of backing down, Canada moved north.

This analysis explains how massive investments in Arctic ports, icebreakers, and infrastructure turned a melting passage into a strategic asset — cutting thousands of kilometers off global shipping routes and unlocking critical minerals worth hundreds of billions. What looks like climate geography is now economic and geopolitical leverage.

In this episode, we analyze the real military balance between Canada and the U.S., looking at airpower, naval power, ground forces, winter warfare capability, logistics, geography, and insurgency risks.

We explore why the U.S. would win the opening battles — but why holding Canada would be a completely different war. From Canada’s massive wilderness and gun-owning population, to NATO’s likely political and military response, to the catastrophic economic fallout, this video breaks down why an occupation would quickly become a strategic disaster.

Carney to Visit China on SPECIAL Invitation by Chinese President - Jan 7

After stabilizing Canada’s position in Europe, Prime Minister Mark Carney is now preparing for a major state visit to China — personally invited by Xi Jinping. The visit marks a dramatic shift after years of strained Canada–China relations and signals that Ottawa is expanding its global leverage at a critical moment.

Trump’s recent actions — from strikes in Venezuela to renewed annexation threats involving Greenland — have reshaped global calculations. With Europe already aligned, Carney’s China visit adds another pillar to Canada’s strategy: diversification. Trade, energy, and supply-chain security are now central to Canada’s response as it seeks to reduce vulnerability to U.S. tariffs and political pressure under Donald Trump.

This video breaks down why the China visit matters now, how potential talks around EV tariffs and Canadian canola could reshape trade flows, and why expanding Canada’s options globally makes the country harder to threaten. This isn’t about choosing sides — it’s about ensuring Canada is never cornered.

Mark Carney’s China visit signals a major Canada China relations reset as Ottawa expands global leverage amid Trump tariffs and trade pressure. From Chinese EV tariffs and Canada canola trade to the auto industry impact, Canada is diversifying its strategy through a state visit to China. This foreign policy shift highlights Canada’s broader geopolitical response, strengthening trade leverage and reducing vulnerability while reshaping its global position.

Doug Ford Drops a Bomb Shell on U.S companies— Crown Royal Pulled From LCBO Shelves! - Jan 7

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has ignited a national debate after announcing that Crown Royal whisky could soon disappear from LCBO shelves.

Ford framed the decision as a clear message to corporations considering moving jobs away from Ontario workers.

The announcement places one of Canada’s most iconic whisky brands at the center of a political and economic standoff. With Ontario controlling liquor sales through the LCBO, the province holds enormous leverage, and Ford appears ready to use it to pressure multinational companies to keep production local.

Why Canada wants to develop it's own ability to launch rockets into space - Jan 8

Canada's contributions to space exploration are vast; this country has sent Canadian astronauts and technology to explore that final frontier.

But launching rockets from our own soil is out of reach right now. Hoping to change that, the federal government has set aside money for Canada's sovereign space launch capability.

Heidi Petracek reports on how domestic firms are hoping to use that funding to reach orbit.

Canada–Denmark Pact LOCKS the U.S. Out of GREENLAND — Trump Has No Cards - Jan 9

This video breaks down how Canada’s decision to side with Denmark on Greenland has quietly shut the United States out of a key Arctic power play — and why Trump’s pressure didn’t isolate Ottawa, but accelerated a deeper geopolitical realignment in the North.

For years, Washington treated Greenland as a strategic prize it could influence through pressure, rhetoric, and assumption of dominance. Trump openly framed the Arctic as negotiable territory, expecting allies to eventually fall in line. Canada, long aligned with U.S. Arctic policy by default, was assumed to follow. That assumption turned out to be wrong.

As Trump escalated Arctic rhetoric and attempted to force alignment, Canada chose a different path. Instead of backing U.S. ambitions, Ottawa reinforced its partnership with Denmark — recognizing sovereignty, stability, and long-term Arctic governance over transactional pressure. What looks like a diplomatic gesture is, in reality, a structural shift in Arctic power coordination.
This analysis explains how Canada’s alignment with Denmark reshapes Arctic influence, why Greenland matters far beyond symbolism, and how U.S. leverage weakens when allies refuse to legitimize pressure politics. We examine Canada–Denmark Arctic cooperation, Greenland sovereignty, Arctic geopolitics explained, Canada bypasses U.S. Arctic strategy, U.S. influence declines in the North, Canada vs USA Arctic power, and why Trump’s approach backfired at the alliance level.

This isn’t just a story about Greenland. It’s about control. It’s about credibility. And it’s about what happens when allies stop treating pressure as leadership.

France HUMILIATES Trump for Attacking Canada, Carney WINS - Jan 9

Donald Trump’s threat toward Greenland wasn’t just rhetoric — it was a test of how far intimidation could go in today’s world. And Canada responded faster and more decisively than many expected.

In this video, we break down how Prime Minister Mark Carney transformed Trump’s Greenland threat into a moment of global alignment. From Europe to NATO partners, Canada built a united front that rejected annexation rhetoric and reinforced the principle of sovereignty. This response also explains why European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, openly warned that Trump’s “51st state” language toward Canada would damage the global order.

We explore why Greenland became the tipping point, how Arctic security factors into the crisis, and why Canada’s strategy of alliance-building forced Donald Trump to rethink escalation. This wasn’t about outrage — it was about closing off options and raising the cost of intimidation.

Canada didn’t escalate the crisis. It ended it.

Canadians Call on Carney to DROP F-35 Jets Deal, Build Up Military with Swedish Gripens - Jan 10

In Canadian politics news today, Bill responds to a comment we get a lot on the channel, which essentially calls on Prime Minister Carney to drop the deal for more F-35 fighter jets with the United States in favour of building up Canada’s military by partnering with Sweden’s Saab to purchase made-in-Canada Gripen E fighter jets instead.

Prime Minister Carney has put the deal on hold for a “review process”, seemingly using it as a bargaining chip in CUSMA trade deal negotiations. But perhaps Canada, and the shifting global political landscape, would benefit more from Carney’s political leadership, boldly refusing to further intertwine our militaries and giving the US a taste of its own non-compliance medicine.

Carney STANDS UP Against Trump after Trump Threatens Mexico - Jan 10

Donald Trump’s latest threat of military action against Mexico has sent shockwaves across North America — and Canada is paying close attention. After U.S. action in Venezuela and ongoing annexation rhetoric around Greenland, this escalation marks a dangerous new phase in Trump’s approach to the region.

In this video, we break down why Trump’s warning to Mexico matters deeply for Canada, how patterns of unilateral force are emerging, and why Canadian sovereignty and security cannot be taken for granted. We explore the risks of military coercion, the Arctic pressure point, and why Canada must assess these developments seriously.

Under Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada is no longer standing still. With growing global support and clear pushback against intimidation, Ottawa is positioning itself to ensure that any threat toward Canada would carry global consequences for Donald Trump.

This is not about panic — it’s about preparedness. And it’s why Trump’s threat to Mexico should matter to every Canadian.

Trump threatening Mexico has raised serious concerns across Canada, as analysts examine Trump’s military rhetoric, annexation threats, and escalation across North America. From Venezuela to Mexico and potential pressure on Canada, this geopolitical crisis highlights risks to Canadian sovereignty, Arctic security, and regional stability under Mark Carney’s leadership.

This analysis explores why Republican senators are drawing new lines, how constitutional checks like the War Powers framework are suddenly back in focus, and what this moment reveals about leadership, authority, and accountability in modern American politics. Rather than partisan outrage, this video focuses on process, power, and the long-term consequences for governance.

Carney UNITES The World Against Trump's Thirst for CHAOS - Jan 13

Donald Trump’s escalating threats are no longer confined to one region — they are shaking the foundations of the global order. From Greenland and the Arctic to growing pressure across alliances, uncertainty is becoming a weapon. And countries that rely on international rules are being forced to act before those rules collapse entirely.

In this video, we break down how Mark Carney has moved early to stabilize a rapidly deteriorating global situation. From reinforcing unity at home in British Columbia, to coordinating with European allies, to engaging China as part of a broader diversification strategy, Canada is no longer waiting for threats to land at its doorstep.

We explore why Carney’s calm, coordinated approach stands in direct contrast to Donald Trump’s destabilizing tactics — and why allies are now listening to Canada in ways they haven’t for decades. This isn’t about confrontation. It’s about preventing collapse before it becomes irreversible.

They Said Gripen Was Overrated — NATO Pilots Learned the Truth - Jan 7

Is the JAS 39 Gripen truly overrated, or is it the perfect "Arctic Blade" for Canadian sovereignty? In this hypothetical strategic analysis, we declassify the shocking results from a NATO exercise where this Swedish underdog secured a 3-to-1 kill ratio against elite heavy fighters. For decades, the "overrated" label haunted the Gripen, yet its performance in the Baltic Sea proved that geometry and situational awareness trump brute force horsepower every time.

We explore the "what if" scenario of the Swedish proposal to Canada, examining how a "made-in-Canada" Gripen could have redefined our aerospace sector and protected our vast Northern frontier. From its ability to operate on frozen 800-meter runways to its 0.3-second faster nose-point response, this jet was built for the rugged Canadian reality. This deep-dive military analysis Canada focuses on fiscal responsibility, sovereign control, and tactical disruption.

As we look at the future of NORAD and Canadian military analysis, we must ask: does the smallest blade cut the deepest in the Arctic? Join the conversation as we break down the doctrine, the data, and the industrial impact on our provinces.

The visit — the first by a Canadian prime minister in eight years — included a formal guard of honour, underscoring Beijing’s intent to engage Canada as a long-term partner.

In an interview with Global News, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says a deal cutting China’s canola tariffs from 85 per cent to 15 per cent will allow billions of dollars in Canadian agricultural exports to flow again.

Moe says the agreement signals a positive shift in Canada–China relations and lays the groundwork for expanded trade across agriculture, energy and mining sectors.

He says the talks in Beijing were marked by a notably more positive tone despite ongoing political and security differences between the two countries.

Hoekstra Absolutely LOSSES It as Carney Lands in Qatar For New Deal - Jan 17

After a highly successful visit to China, Prime Minister Mark Carney has landed in Qatar to attract major global investment for Canada — and the reaction from Washington has been anything but calm.

As Canada builds momentum through new trade and investment partnerships following landmark deals in China, the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, made a striking public comment, saying the United States “does not need Canada.” While the remark may sound defiant, it revealed deep frustration as Canada accelerates its global diversification strategy.

In this video, we break down why Carney’s Qatar trip matters even more than China, how global capital is beginning to view Canada as a stable long-term destination, and why pressure-based tactics associated with Donald Trump are rapidly losing effectiveness. This isn’t about symbolism — it’s about leverage, capital, and Canada no longer waiting for U.S. approval.

Chaos in Canada Today! Brutal Snow Storm Causing Many Collision Pile Up in Hwy 401 - Jan 16

In what meteorologists are describing as a "once-in-a-decade" weather event, a massive winter storm system has blanketed Southern and Eastern Ontario in record-breaking snow, bringing Canada’s most populous province to a literal standstill. Starting late Thursday night and intensifying through Friday, January 16, 2026, the storm has disrupted international travel, forced the closure of hundreds of schools, and triggered widespread power outages. Within Toronto, the TTC struggled to maintain subway service on outdoor portions of the lines, while hundreds of buses were redirected or stuck in unplowed side streets. At Toronto Pearson International Airport, over 70% of scheduled flights were canceled. Ground crews worked tirelessly, but visibility frequently dropped to near-zero, making taxiing operations unsafe. Meanwhile, A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision involving over 60 vehicles, including several tractor-trailers, forced the total closure of Highway 401 in both directions near Whitby on Friday, January 16, 2026. The accident occurred during the peak of a "whiteout" blizzard that has gripped Southern Ontario, creating what emergency responders are calling a "war zone" on Canada’s busiest highway. The pileup began at approximately 10:45 AM in the eastbound lanes near Brock Street. Witnesses described a terrifying scene of screeching tires and the thundering sound of metal crushing metal. Several passenger cars were pinned beneath the trailers of heavy trucks, while others were forced off the road into deep snowbanks. The Highway 401 closure has caused a massive ripple effect across Ontario’s transportation network. With the 401 blocked, traffic diverted to Highway 2 and the 407 ETR, which quickly became overwhelmed by the volume of vehicles and the deteriorating weather. Meanwhile, A catastrophic series of collisions involving more than 45 vehicles paralyzed a major stretch of Highway 402 on Friday, January 16, 2026. Driven by ferocious "Lake Effect" snow squalls originating from Lake Huron, the incident transformed the vital trade corridor connecting Ontario to Michigan into a graveyard of twisted metal and jackknifed trailers. The chaos began shortly after 9:30 AM between Airport Road and Modeland Road. Witnesses describe a sudden, impenetrable "wall of white" that reduced visibility from several kilometers to zero in a matter of seconds. In the blinding snow, subsequent vehicles—including several more tractor-trailers and dozens of passenger cars—slammed into the wreckage at highway speeds. The economic impact is estimated to be in the millions of dollars per hour, as "just-in-time" delivery schedules for the automotive and agricultural sectors are completely disrupted.

Trump Destroyed the US–Canada Relationship | How America Lost Its Closest Ally - Jan 17

Donald Trump has destroyed the US–Canada relationship, and the damage may last for generations. In this video, we break down how Trump’s tariffs, threats, and reckless treatment of Canada led Prime Minister Mark Carney to declare that the decades-long process of economic integration between the United States and Canada is over.

As a lawyer and constitutional conservative, George Conway explains why Trump’s actions amount to a fundamental breach of trust—comparable to an anticipatory breach in contract law—and how this betrayal is pushing Canada to permanently diversify away from the United States. Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship by imposing arbitrary tariffs, mocking Canadian sovereignty, and treating alliances as zero-sum conflicts.

This video examines how Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship, why Canada is turning toward China and other global markets, and how this shift will weaken American power, influence, and security for decades to come. Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship not through strategy, but through narcissistic incompetence—and the consequences are irreversible.

All-New 2026 BYD Seal – Better Range, Better Price Than Tesla? - Jan 16

The 2026 BYD Seal is quickly becoming one of the strongest challengers to the Tesla Model 3—offering impressive electric range, fast charging, modern interior technology, and a price tag that undercuts most competitors. As EV buyers across the U.S. look for maximum value without sacrificing performance, the BYD Seal stands out as a serious threat in the electric sedan market.

In this video, we break down the range, battery tech, pricing, performance, interior features, infotainment system, safety technology, build quality, charging speed, and driving experience of the 2026 BYD Seal. We also compare it directly with its biggest rivals: Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 6, and Polestar 2.

Is the BYD Seal finally the affordable long-range EV buyers have been waiting for? Or is Tesla’s reputation still strong enough to hold the crown? Find out in this full deep-dive review.

Six months with a BYD Seal: It’s not what we expected!

After six months behind the wheel, Nicola Hume reveals what it’s really like to live with the BYD Seal, the electric saloon that’s been making waves as a serious Tesla Model 3 rival. Has this newcomer from China lived up to the hype, or has the shine worn off after half a year of real-world driving?

In this long-term review, Nicola dives into what the Seal is like to actually live with day-to-day, from charging, comfort, and build quality to tech, practicality, and real-world range. Is it as efficient as BYD claims? How does it handle long motorway trips? And crucially, should you pick one over a Model 3 or Polestar 2?

Join Nicola as she gives her honest verdict after six months of commuting, road trips, and everything in between, the highs, the niggles, and whether she’d keep the keys for good.

CANADA WINS BIG - Carney DECLARES U.S. ERA OVER, Triggers $400B Economic Shift - Jan 19

Canada’s strategic pivot is no longer rhetorical—this SRT lays out a structural break after Mark Carney’s Toronto message that “automatic U.S. predominance” has ended.

We unpack how accelerated Canadian defense and industrial spending could redirect $350B–$400B CAD and reduce U.S. cross-border revenue once treated as guaranteed.

This analysis connects tariffs, procurement directives, and supply-chain trust to a self-inflicted cost shock that ultimately hits households, not just boardrooms.

Then we examine the F-35 reassessment and why software control, maintenance exclusivity, and sovereignty are now central to the Canada–U.S. leverage fight.

Finally, we map the deeper layer: critical minerals, long-term contracts, and allied coordination that can lock in a new architecture for a generation.
