Why Mark Carney
NEVER Gave Trump What He Wanted - Feb 1
Donald Trump’s repeated threats against Canada were designed to
force quick concessions through tariffs, intimidation, and economic
pressure. For years, this strategy worked with many countries around
the world. But with Canada, it failed.
In this in-depth Canada Today analysis, we break down how Prime
Minister Mark Carney refused to back down, strengthened Canada’s
negotiating position, and turned Trump’s pressure campaign into a
long-term strategic advantage. Drawing on expert insights,
diplomatic history, and recent trade developments, this video
explains why Canada became the only major country to resist Trump’s
demands — and why the world is now paying attention.
We examine how years of unpredictability damaged Canada–U.S. trust,
disrupted supply chains, and weakened American influence, while
Canada emerged as a more stable and reliable partner in global
trade.
Is this the end of Trump’s leverage over allies? And has Canada set
a new standard for dealing with political intimidation?
Watch now for the full analysis.

Idea Canada Just Revived The 'Avro Arrow' Plan - Feb 2
For 66 years, the ghost of the Avro Arrow haunted Canada. Now, a US
ultimatum has accidentally triggered the greatest industrial
resurrection in our history. Here is how Mark Carney plans to
rebuild Canadian aerospace by saying "No" to the F-35.
On January 26, 2026, the US Ambassador threatened to "alter NORAD"
if Canada didn't buy American jets. It was meant to be a checkmate.
Instead, it became the catalyst for "Project Resurrection."
Canada is secretly pivoting towards a partnership with Sweden’s Saab
to build the Gripen E domestically—reviving the dream that died with
the Avro Arrow in 1959.
Avro Arrow
The story of the Avro Arrow from its evolution to its extinction
Avro Arrow CF-105
The Canadian delta winged interceptor aircraft that never was. Full
documentary
The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft
designed and built by Avro Canada. The CF-105 held the promise of
Mach 2 speeds at altitudes exceeding 50,000 feet (15,000 m) and was
intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) primary
interceptor into the 1960s and beyond.
The Arrow was the culmination of a series of design studies begun in
1953 that examined improved versions of the Avro Canada CF-100
Canuck. After considerable study, the RCAF selected a dramatically
more powerful design, and serious development began in March 1955.
The aircraft was intended to be built directly from the production
line, skipping the traditional hand-built prototype phase. The first
Arrow Mk. 1, RL-201, was rolled out to the public on 4 October 1957,
the same day as the launch of Sputnik I.
Flight testing began with RL-201 on 25 March 1958, and the design
quickly demonstrated excellent handling and overall performance,
reaching Mach 1.9 in level flight. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney
J75, another three Mk. 1s were completed, RL-202, RL-203 and RL-204.
The lighter and more powerful Orenda Iroquois engine was soon ready
for testing, and the first Mk 2 with the Iroquois, RL-206, was ready
for taxi testing in preparation for flight and acceptance tests by
RCAF pilots by early 1959.
On 20 February 1959, Prime Minister of Canada John Diefenbaker
abruptly halted the development of both the Arrow and its Iroquois
engines before the scheduled project review to evaluate the program
could be held. Canada tried to sell the Arrow to the US and Britain,
but no agreements were concluded. Two months later the assembly
line, tooling, plans, existing airframes, and engines were ordered
to be destroyed. The cancellation was the topic of considerable
political controversy at the time, and the subsequent destruction of
the aircraft in production remains a topic for debate among
historians and industry pundits. "This action effectively put Avro
out of business and its highly skilled engineering and production
personnel scattered".
In the post-Second World War period, the Soviet Union began
developing a capable fleet of long-range bombers with the ability to
deliver nuclear weapons across North America and Europe.
The main threat was principally from high-speed, high-altitude
bombing runs launched from the Soviet Union travelling over the
Arctic against military bases and built-up industrial centres in
Canada and the United States. To counter this threat, Western
countries developed interceptors that could engage and destroy these
bombers before they reached their targets.
A. V. Roe Canada Limited had been set up as a subsidiary of the
Hawker Siddeley Group in 1945, initially handling repair and
maintenance work for aircraft at the Malton, Ontario Airport, today
known as Toronto Pearson International Airport. The next year the
company began the design of Canada's first jet fighter for the Royal
Canadian Air Force (RCAF), the Avro CF-100 Canuck all-weather
interceptor. The Canuck underwent a lengthy and troubled prototype
stage before entering service seven years later in 1953.
Nevertheless, it went on to become one of the most enduring aircraft
of its class, serving in a variety of roles until 1981.
Recognizing that the delays that affected the development and
deployment of the CF-100 could also affect its successor, and the
fact that the Soviets were working on newer jet-powered bombers that
would render the CF-100 ineffective, the RCAF began looking for a
supersonic, missile-armed replacement for the Canuck even before it
had entered service. In March 1952, the RCAF's Final Report of the
All-Weather Interceptor Requirements Team was submitted to Avro
Canada.

How Canada Turned a
$100B Submarine Contract Into an Auto Industry Revival Plan - Feb 2
One hundred billion dollars. The largest defense contract in
Canadian history. And Canada just turned it into the strangest
bidding war in modern military history.
South Korea wants this deal so badly that Seoul sent its
presidential chief of staff, alongside Hyundai and Hanwha
executives, to Ottawa for what officials called "sales diplomacy of
the highest order."
But here's where it gets extraordinary: Canada looked at this
massive defense deal and said, "We want more."
Not just submarines. Canada is demanding that bidders fundamentally
reshape their economic relationship with the country.
Build us car factories. Invest in our steel industry. Create
hundreds of thousands of jobs. Turn this defense contract into
economic transformation.
This video provides analysis of Canada's submarine procurement
process, defense industrial policy, and international strategic
partnerships based on publicly available information, government
announcements, industry reports, and media coverage.

US TRADE DEFICIT EXPLODES 94.6% -
CANADA WINS BIG, 180B Supply Shift - Feb 3
In November 2025, the U.S. trade deficit surged 94.6% in a single
month, exposing a failure far deeper than a tariff dispute. Imports
surged, exports collapsed, costs spiked—and global capital began to
reposition.
This video explains how tariffs failed to fix trade imbalances and
instead destroyed export competitiveness, triggered capital flight,
and undermined legal credibility. As courts challenged emergency
trade powers, investors adjusted. The dollar was not abandoned—but
it was increasingly avoided.
While U.S. manufacturing weakened under rising costs and tightening
credit, Canada absorbed the shift. Investment flowed north. EV and
automotive supply chains reorganized. Long-term contracts moved
outside U.S. tariff risk, locking in a permanent industrial
realignment across North America.
This is not retaliation. It is reallocation—and capital does not
return on promises.

Trump UNDER
PRESSURE as Carney Unites The World Against Him - Feb 6
Donald Trump is facing unprecedented pressure from Canada as former
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Prime Minister Mark Carney, Industry
Minister Mélanie Joly, and global analysts align behind a unified
economic strategy. From Harper’s warning on retaliatory tariffs to
Carney’s Davos speech redefining global trade, and Joly’s defense of
Canada’s auto sector, this moment represents a historic shift in
Canada’s approach to U.S. pressure.
In this in-depth analysis, Canada Today breaks down how Canada is
closing ranks across political parties, institutions, and
international alliances. We examine why global manufacturers are now
viewing Canada as a stable alternative to the United States, how
Trump’s tariff strategy is backfiring, and why Washington is
increasingly losing leverage.
This video explains how Canada is moving away from short-term
reactions toward long-term economic resilience, strategic
independence, and national unity — reshaping North American trade
for the next decade.
Mark Carney Trump trade war coverage is intensifying as Canada US
tariffs continue to reshape North American commerce. With Stephen
Harper Trump warning gaining attention and Melanie Joly auto
strategy dominating headlines, Canada auto industry news reflects a
major shift in Trump Canada relations 2026. Through Canada trade
policy analysis and insights from the Carney Davos speech Harvard
experts praised, Canada economic independence is strengthening. As
US Canada trade conflict grows, Trump tariff pressure Canada faces
resistance through Canada manufacturing strategy, North American
auto industry reform, and Canada China Korea Japan investment.

reinforcing Canadian political unity trade, Canada Today political
analysis, Canadian sovereignty economy, and Canada global alliances

Know Canada Built The Weapon That Won The Karabakh War
In 2020, Canadian technology changed the history of warfare in
Nagorno-Karabakh. But while the world bought our "eyes," Canada
bought a blind American watchdog. Here is the $2.5 billion drone
scandal no one is talking about.
Canada builds the world’s best surveillance sensors (WESCAM). They
are used by Turkey, Israel, and the US to win wars. Yet, when it
came time to defend our own Arctic, Ottawa ignored our domestic
genius and signed a cheque for $2.5 billion to buy American MQ-9
Reaper drones.
The problem? These drones were designed for the desert. They have
never been tested in the Arctic deep freeze, they rely on GPS that
fails at the North Pole, and they won't arrive until 2028.
Canada Discovers a
Massive Graphite Treasure - Jan 7
Canada has identified a critical mineral beneath Quebec that could
alter global economic and security dynamics. Designated as
nationally critical in record time, this graphite development is
central to Canada’s strategy to secure battery supply chains, reduce
reliance on foreign markets, and support electric vehicles, defense
systems, and energy storage technologies.
With integrated mining and processing plans already in motion,
Canada is positioning itself as a reliable supplier for allied
nations. As construction timelines accelerate and exploration
expands across the country, these projects highlight why graphite
has become one of the most strategically important resources in the
modern economy — and why global powers are paying close attention.

Trump Turns a $6
Billion Bridge Into a Trade Weapon - Feb 9
A $6 billion international bridge was built, paid for, and ready to
open. Then it became leverage.
In this episode of Worldstate, we examine how President Trump’s
threat to block the Canada-funded Gordie Howe International Bridge
transformed a critical piece of North American infrastructure into a
bargaining chip in broader trade and diplomatic disputes. This isn’t
a story about construction or steel. It’s about how economic
interdependence is increasingly being used as pressure in U.S.
foreign policy.
The Windsor–Detroit corridor is the most important trade crossing
between the United States and Canada. Disrupting it affects American
manufacturing, logistics, and cross-border supply chains just as
much as it affects Canada. Yet the threat raises a deeper question:
what happens when shared infrastructure becomes a tool of coercion
rather than cooperation?
We break down what actually happened, why the legal authority to
block the bridge is uncertain, and why this moment is being closely
watched by allies evaluating their long-term reliance on the United
States.

Trump Declared War
on Canada — Carney's Cold Blooded Response Stunned the World - views
58,127 - Feb 12
At 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Donald Trump posted an ultimatum on Truth
Social demanding Canada dismantle its digital services tax and grant
unrestricted access to its dairy market within 24 hours—or face a
blanket 25% tariff on every Canadian car, truck, and auto part
crossing the border. By 6:00 a.m. the following morning, Mark Carney
was standing at a podium in Brussels alongside the President of the
European Commission, announcing three simultaneous agreements that
effectively locked the United States out of a new global economic
and technological alliance.
This video walks through the exact 72-hour sequence of events step
by step. We break down Trump's original ultimatum, Carney's public
rejection, the three days of silence from Ottawa that Washington
mistook for surrender, and the coordinated announcements that sent
shockwaves through Wall Street, the energy sector, and Silicon
Valley. We explain the Canada-EU Emergency Economic Partnership, the
Pacific Corridor Energy Accord with Japan and South Korea, and the
Digital Alliance that specifically excludes the United States from a
new AI and data standards framework.
We also analyze the market reactions in real time—including the
Nasdaq's 550-point drop, the six percent collapse in US refinery
stocks, and why the Canadian dollar stabilized while American auto
and tech sectors went into freefall. Finally, we examine the two
scenarios for how this ends, why Trump is trapped by his own
tactics, and what this means for gas prices, car prices,
manufacturing jobs, and your 401k.
All analysis is based on publicly available trade data, market
reports, official government statements, and established economic
frameworks. The focus is on verifiable facts, supply chain
mechanics, and strategic implications—explained clearly so viewers
understand exactly what happened, why it matters, and what comes
next.

political firestorm?
In this video, we break down the full timeline behind the Gordie
Howe International Bridge controversy — the facts, the false claims,
the Ambassador Bridge monopoly, and the political fallout now
unfolding between Washington, Michigan, and Ottawa.
Is this about trade policy? China? USMCA negotiations?
Or is it about protecting a private business empire?
We examine: The secret White House meeting
• The president’s social media threat
• The ownership facts behind the bridge
• The Ambassador Bridge monopoly
• Michigan’s response
• Canada’s strategic shift toward China
• And what this means for U.S.-Canada relations in 2026
This story isn’t just about a bridge.
It’s about power, influence, trade leverage, and who really
benefits.

it for you to view.
At 3:17 a.m. Eastern Time, the US Treasury Department issued a
classified directive to all major American financial institutions
ordering them to terminate correspondent banking relationships with
Canadian banks within 72 hours. This effectively cuts Canada off
from the US dollar clearing system, the financial backbone that
enables international trade. No allied nation has ever been
subjected to this measure. It has only been used against Iran, North
Korea, and Russia.
This video walks through the exact sequence of events that led to
this moment, starting with the White House's internal panic over
Canada's Sovereignty Coalition, the failed back-channel negotiations
that collapsed yesterday afternoon, and the Treasury directive that
was leaked to Reuters by a senior official who called it "economic
insanity."
We break down Mark Carney's immediate response, which included
activating an emergency session of the Canadian Parliament,
announcing a new national currency stabilization framework, and
making a phone call to Beijing that sent shockwaves through the US
intelligence community. We also analyze the market reactions,
including the largest single-day decline in US bank stocks since
2008, the emergency G7 meeting that excluded the United States for
the first time in history, and the constitutional crisis now
unfolding in Washington as three Republican senators publicly broke

government communications, verified reporting from credible outlets,
and established economic and legal frameworks. The focus is on

Inside The Crisis
Facing U.S. Auto Giants - 434,127 views Feb 15
CNBC examines the high-stakes decisions transforming the U.S. auto
industry.
Cars once promised independence and transportation for all
Americans. Now, they are a luxury product that cost about $50,000,
nearly 30% higher than just a few years ago. Affordable vehicles,
especially those below the price of $20,000, have nearly
disappeared. And while Automakers pulled in record profits in 2023,
slim margins combined with deep investments into EV batteries,
software and other technology is making it hard to produce cars much
cheaper. Chinese automakers can, but they're impeded by tariffs and
rules. Insiders say that is just a bandage - automakers need to
compete.
The HEMI name is one of the strongest names in the history of the
brands collectively known under the Chrysler and MOPAR names - Jeep,
Dodge, Chrysler, and the RAM Trucks brand. The 5.7 liter HEMI V8 was
especially important to RAM, as the company learned the hard way.
Dropping the engine in an effort to get greener cost the company at
least 30,000 customers annually. Sales fell every quarter after the
company replaced the HEMI with the smaller Hurricane inline
6-cylinder–even though that engine has higher horsepower and torque
numbers than the HEMI. So RAM buckled and brought back the engine.
The whole saga is another example of the kinds of trouble the
American Chrysler brands faced after they merged with Peugeot to
form Stellantis.
The Chrysler name was once one of the most recognizable in the
American automotive industry. A bankruptcy and two mergers later, it
is just a tiny brand some fear will face extinction. Its lineup has
been whittled down to two models of one vehicle – a minivan. But its
brand CEO, Christine Feuell, says Chrysler is here to stay and more
vehicles are coming soon.

industry.

According to developments discussed on U.S. media panels, the owner
of the privately operated Ambassador Bridge — a Trump donor —

Meanwhile, Republican voices in Michigan are expressing confusion,

conflict. In response, Canada’s new government is focused on what we
can control: rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian
Armed Forces (CAF). We are working fast and seeing results: Canada
is on track to hit our 2% NATO spending target this fiscal year and
applications to join the CAF are up nearly 13%.
To protect Canada’s sovereignty, build our prosperity, and
strengthen our strategic autonomy, the Canadian government must
change how we invest in defence. Canada’s defence procurement has
long been too complicated, too slow, and too reliant on
international suppliers, limiting the growth of our defence
industries. This has left our workers and businesses with fewer
opportunities, our domestic industries without the demand necessary
to scale, and critically, the women and men of our military without
the equipment they need to defend our sovereignty and that of our
Allies.
Canada’s new government is changing this. Today, the Prime Minister,
Mark Carney, launched Canada’s first Defence Industrial Strategy.
This is a strategy to transform our defence industries by
prioritising Canadian suppliers and materials, investing in Canadian
innovation and commercialisation, and streamlining procurement to
give businesses consistent and predictable demand. This will enable
Canada’s aerospace, cyber, and other industries to scale up
operations to sell more at home and to trusted partners around the
world, creating high-paying careers for Canadians across defence
supply chains.
The Defence Industrial Strategy positions Canadian industry to take
advantage of $180 billion in defence procurement opportunities and
$290 billion in defence-related capital investment opportunities in
Canada over the next 10 years, with an anticipated $125 billion
downstream economic benefit by 2035. The Defence Industrial Strategy
will create 125,000 high-paying careers, increase our defence
exports by 50%, raise the share of defence acquisitions awarded to
Canadian firms to 70%, and grow Canadian defence industry revenues
by 240%. Within a decade, we will raise maritime fleet
serviceability to 75%, land fleets to 80%, and aerospace fleets to
85% to bolster Canadian defence.
In total, the Defence Industrial Strategy is an investment of over
half a trillion dollars in Canadian security, economic prosperity,
and our sovereignty.
The Defence Investment Agency (DIA) is central to this strategy. It
will streamline processes, cut red tape, and speed up delivery. It
will equip the CAF with what it needs, when it needs it, and will
prioritise manufacturing and strategic partnerships with Canadian
firms, including small and medium-sized businesses. The DIA will
also lead Canada’s participation in joint procurement initiatives.
Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy will strengthen security,
create prosperity, and reinforce our strategic autonomy. The
strategy has five pillars.
Position Canada as a leader in defence production:
Canada will build: In the areas of
homegrown strength and key sovereign capabilities, such as
shipbuilding, aerospace, space, land systems, and digital
technologies. New defence procurements will prioritise Canadian
firms and Canadian manufacturing as a matter of policy.
Canada will partner: Where Canada lacks the capability to build
domestically or there is an advantage to working jointly with
partners, we will partner with trusted allies to deliver
capabilities for the Canadian Armed Forces.
Canada will buy: When it is not feasible to build domestically or
partner with an ally, Canada will buy equipment from allies, with
strong conditions that spur reinvestment into the Canadian economy,
support careers in our defence industry, and ensure Canadian
sovereign control over the operation and sustainment of the newly
acquired assets.
Buy Canadian will be the North Star toward a new way of doing
business in defence acquisitions. Taking these essential steps will
reduce overreliance on foreign suppliers, foster national champions
in our defence industry, secure sovereign control of our own
equipment and intellectual property (IP), and create value across
Canadian supply chains.
Make it easier to build in Canada by breaking down barriers between
government and industry:
Establish a permanent Defence Advisory Forum. Led by the DIA, the
Forum will engage with Canadian defence industry partners to speed
up acquisition processes.
Accelerate the security clearance process for defence sector
personnel to remove barriers to entry and support growth in the
sector and needed security infrastructure.
Scale up Canada’s defence and dual-use innovation, and export it to
our allies:
Utilise a new $4 billion Defence Platform at the Business
Development Bank of Canada to ensure Canadian companies, including
small and medium-sized businesses, have access to the capital they
need.
Implement the $379.2 million Regional Defence Investment Initiative
to support the growth and integration of Canadian small and
medium-sized businesses into domestic and international defence
supply chains.
Provide an initial amount of $656.9
million to support the development and commercialisation of defence
and dual-use technologies, including through the Strategic Response
Fund, Innovative Solutions Canada, and the Life Sciences Fund.
Create a Drone Innovation Hub at the National Research Council, with
an investment of $105 million over three years, and develop an
aircraft platform for research, development, demonstration, and
qualification of new technologies for Canada’s defence industries
with an investment of $459 million over five years.
Create a new Bureau of Research, Engineering and Advanced Leadership
in Innovation and Science (BOREALIS) to coordinate and accelerate
defence research and innovation in frontier technologies.
Reinforce Canada’s edge in high-value sectors like artificial
intelligence, quantum, space, and others, championing Canadian
industry to be a leader domestically and internationally.
Boost Canadian defence exports through a new dedicated team for
export promotion.
Stand up a new Science and Research Defence Advisory Council later
this year.
Appoint new trade commissioners in the United Kingdom and key
European Union markets to support Canadian business abroad and ramp
up Canada’s presence at major global defence and aerospace trade
shows.
Support the sovereign control of Canadian defence-related IP for
Canadian industry.
Protect Canadian workers, industries, and supply chains:
Launch the new Canadian Defence Industry Resilience Program, with
initial investments starting this year, to strengthen Canada’s
sovereignty. The initial focus will be to increase production
capacity for Canadian defence businesses, and begin producing
nitrocellulose – a critical, high-demand energetic material for
artillery – in Canada.
To build Canada’s future defence workforce, the Government will
launch a Canada Defence Skills Agenda focusing on four key
priorities:
strengthening the defence industry talent pipeline, addressing
urgent skills needs, expanding the supply of skilled workers, and
partnering with provinces, territories, and Indigenous rights
holders.
Spearhead a coordinated national effort to strengthen Canada’s
defence sector:
Work with provinces, territories, and Indigenous rights holders,
including in the North and the Arctic, to address security gaps,
identify opportunities in technology and resources, and unlock new
market opportunities for Canadian industry.
Accelerate critical minerals projects and support the development of
Canadian supply chains that are reliable, secure, and aligned with
national defence and allied needs.
The Defence Industrial Strategy is a jobs strategy. It will create
high-paying careers across the entire supply chain – from steel and
aluminum welders to engineers, scientists, and manufacturers who
turn Canadian resources into the equipment, ammunition, vehicles,
and other critical capabilities that keep Canadians safe.
Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy will transform our military
and defence supply chain – create good careers at home, open new
markets for our businesses, and equip the CAF with the world-class
equipment they need to protect Canada and our Allies.

Security and prosperity are mutually reinforcing foundations of the
true North, strong and free. Our new Defence Industrial Strategy
ensures Canada remains a sovereign nation, in charge of its own
destiny. That’s Canada strong, and that’s what we are building,
together.”
— The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
“Today’s announcement reflects the government’s clear commitment to
ensuring Canada has secure, timely, and reliable access to the
capabilities required to defend our country, protect our
sovereignty, and confront current and future threats. This is the
time to be ambitious. By investing in Canada’s future, we are
strengthening the Canadian Armed Forces’ ability to defend, deter,
and defeat threats to Canada and Canadians – an investment we cannot
afford to miss.”
— The Hon. David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence
“At a time of growing global uncertainty, Canada must strengthen its
economic security and protect its sovereignty by investing at home.
Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy will grow our domestic
industrial base, create high-quality jobs in every region of the
country, and position Canadian companies to compete and win
globally. By building, innovating, and manufacturing in Canada, we
are ensuring our industries benefit directly from defence
investments while supporting the modernisation of the Canadian Armed
Forces. Our government is meeting the moment for Canadians by
driving growth, creating jobs across the country, and ensuring
Canadians benefit from a stronger, more resilient defence economy.”
— The Hon. Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister
responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
“With the launch of this strategy and the Defence Investment Agency,
we are delivering the capabilities the Canadian Armed Forces need,
when they need them, while growing Canada’s economy. By investing in
our defence industrial base, we can build stronger supply chains,
drive innovation, and create up to 125,000 good-paying jobs for
Canadians.”
— The Hon. Stephen Fuhr, Secretary of State (Defence Procurement)
“The Defence Industrial Strategy strengthens Canada’s capacity to
deliver critical capabilities to the Canadian Armed Forces with
greater speed, certainty, and strategic coherence. It supports the
Defence Investment Agency’s mandate by enabling more agile
procurement and more secure, resilient supply chains. Through a
coordinated, whole-of-government approach, the DIA is well
positioned to support Canadian industry and ensure Canada can meet
its evolving defence requirements with confidence and credibility.”
“This is an ambitious, landmark strategy that shows real leadership
at a time of profound uncertainty and change. It’s a rallying cry –
for the public service and the Department of National Defence to
execute, and for industry to deliver on a new vision for Canada’s
defence, economic resilience, and national security. Today’s outcome
is an example of what’s possible when the public and private sectors
listen to each other, and work toward the same goals.”
— Christyn Cianfarani, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI)
Quick facts
Canada’s defence sector is an important contributor to the economy
with close to 600 firms directly accounting for 36,000 jobs in 2022,
supporting a total of 61,200 jobs across the defence value chain.
These companies generated $14.3 billion in revenues that same year
and contributed $7.4 billion to GDP across the defence value chain.
The Canadian defence sector is one of the most research and
development-intensive, spending $440 million in 2022, with the vast
majority invested by the industry itself. It is more than three
times as research and development-intensive as Canadian
manufacturing overall, and its share of employees in high-end
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics jobs is more than
2.5 times as great.
Today’s announcement builds on targeted actions the government has
taken to rebuild, rearm, and reinvest in our military, including:
Increasing defence investments to 2% of GDP, or approximately $63
billion, in 2025-26, and to 5% of GDP by 2035.
Providing pay raises to all Canadian Armed Forces members.
Launching the new Defence Investment Agency to overhaul and
streamline Canada’s defence procurement.
Outlining $81.8 billion to rebuild, rearm, and reinvest in CAF
members in Budget 2025.
The new Strategy also positions Canada as a leader in the European
Union’s Readiness 2030 plan, a multilateral effort with our European
allies to reinforce defence supply chains and industrial capacity
among allied nations.
Our government intends to make the Defence Investment Agency a
standalone entity through legislation this spring, serving as the
single point of contact for defence-related investment and
procurement.

With the U.S. — And Trump Didn’t See It Coming - Feb 19
The silence from Washington is louder than any bomb.
In this explosive breakdown, we examine how former U.S. President
Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada — and how Canadian Prime
Minister Mark Carney responded with a move that could permanently
reshape global supply chains.
Instead of retaliating with tariffs, Canada activated a strategic
economic pivot — redirecting critical minerals like lithium,
uranium, cobalt, and rare earth elements toward Europe and Japan.
Is this the beginning of a North American fracture?
We analyze:
The economic impact on U.S. markets
Critical mineral choke points
The geopolitical shift toward the European Union
Supply chain vulnerability
Inflation risks for American consumers
The long-term consequences for Western alliances
Is this leadership — or escalation?
This isn’t just politics.
This is power.
This is leverage.

Trump WANTS
Canada's Potatoes — Carney's Move FREEZES U.S. Fast Food Market -
Feb 22
At 6:48 AM on February 22, 2026, 86% of America's frozen French fry
supply became unavailable — not from crop failure, but from Mark
Carney's four-word response to Donald Trump's demands: "Canadian
potatoes feed Canadians." This video reveals the moment Trump's
agricultural threats backfired catastrophically, freezing U.S. fast
food chains and exposing the hidden supply chain vulnerability that
nobody in Washington saw coming.
For months, Trump demanded guaranteed priority access to Canadian
potato exports, claiming food security gave America the right to
Canadian agricultural output. He threatened tariffs, demanded
subordination, and assumed Canada would never dare push back. He was
wrong.
This deep dive breaks down the private White House emergency meeting
at 7:00 AM where food industry executives delivered devastating news
— without Canadian fries, American fast food shuts down within 72
hours. We expose how Canada spent 18 months quietly building
alternative markets in Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico, and
Europe while Trump was tweeting threats. We reveal the leaked audio
of Trump's reaction when told Canadian farmers were signing
contracts at 12% higher prices with buyers who don't weaponize

Prime Minister Carney to diversify
Canada’s trade, attract new investment, and secure new
partnerships with visits to India, Australia, and Japan
February 23, 2026
In a more divided and uncertain
world, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control. We
are building a stronger, more independent, and more resilient
economy. We are building our strength at home, diversifying our
trade abroad, and attracting massive new international investment.
To these ends, the Prime Minister,
Mark Carney, announced that he will travel to India, Australia, and
Japan, from February 26 to March 7, 2026, to unlock new
opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses across trade,
energy, technology, and defence. Through these visits to three of
Canada’s strongest Indo-Pacific partners, the Prime Minister will
deepen regional ties that are critical to our security and
prosperity.
Prime Minister Carney will first
visit Mumbai, then New Delhi, India, where he will meet with Prime
Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders will focus on elevating and
expanding the Canada-India relationship, with ambitious new
partnerships in trade, energy, technology and artificial
intelligence (AI), talent and culture, and defence. He will meet
with business leaders to identify investment opportunities in Canada
and create new partnerships between businesses in both nations.
The Prime Minister will then travel
to Sydney and Canberra, Australia, to meet with Prime Minister
Anthony Albanese and deepen cooperation on defence and maritime
security, critical minerals, trade, and advanced technologies,
including AI. He will deliver an address to both Houses of
Australia’s Parliament and invited dignitaries – marking the first
such address by a Canadian Prime Minister in nearly 20 years. Prime
Minister Carney will also meet with business leaders and investors
to attract new capital into Canada and support two-way trade and
investment with Australia.
In Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister
Carney will meet with Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae to strengthen
mutual investment and partnerships in clean energy, advanced
manufacturing, critical minerals, and food security. The leaders
will also discuss strengthening joint efforts on security and
defence, including to support a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Canada has what the world wants –
abundant energy, critical minerals, expertise in technology, and
world-class talent. In a changing world, we are investing in our
strength, diversifying our trade, and cultivating a dense web of new
connections throughout the world to build Canada strong.
Quote
“In a
more uncertain world, Canada is focused on what we can control.
We are diversifying our trade and attracting massive new
investment to create new opportunities for our workers and
businesses. We are forging new partnerships abroad to create
greater certainty, security and prosperity at home.”

Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
Quick facts
India is the world’s fastest-growing major economy and a
powerhouse in global commerce and technology. In 2024, India was
Canada’s seventh-largest goods and services trading partner,
with two-way trade coming to $30.8 billion.
At
last year’s G20 Leaders’ Summit, Canada and India agreed
to formally launch negotiations for an ambitious Comprehensive
Economic Partnership Agreement that will support Canada’s goal
to more than double two-way trade to $70 billion by 2030.
Canada and Australia have a robust trade relationship, with
bilateral merchandise trade totalling $6.1 billion in 2024 and
Canadian direct investment in Australia amounting to
$58.8 billion that same year.
Last fall, on the margins of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, Canada,
India, and Australia entered into a new
trilateral technology and innovation partnership to deepen
strategic collaboration on critical and emerging technologies
and drive further diversification of supply chains toward a
secure, sustainable, and resilient future.
Japan is the world’s fourth-largest national economy and a
critical commercial partner for Canada, with bilateral trade
between our countries worth $36.4 billion annually.
Don't think that the latest tariff setback for Trump means that the
pressure is coming off Canada. The threat to Canada is real and we
need to be ready for what comes next.

Trump Faces
Disaster as Canada Slashes Billions from US Flights 2026! - Feb 23
One minute ago the order went live. Canada just changed the rules of
the sky and Donald Trump cannot tweet his way out.
For 70 years the US operated under one assumption — Canadian
airspace was free real estate. American airlines, cargo jets,
military transports flew over the Canadian North to reach Europe and
Asia. They assumed Canada would never dare close the gate.
Trump built his 2026 strategy on that assumption. Squeeze Canada on
trade. Slap tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber. Assume Ottawa folds.
He was wrong.
What Just Happened:
Transport Canada suspended preferential overflight rights for US
carriers
American planes must now divert south — adding hours and thousands
of gallons of fuel

Carney’s Indo
Pacific Pivot — Canada Accelerates Beyond U S Trade Dependence
Conway Explains - Feb 24
Canada's Prime Minister just announced the most significant trade
mission in North American history. Starting February 26, 2026, he's
traveling to India, Australia, and Japan for 12 days with one clear
objective: reduce Canada's economic dependence on the United States.
This isn't just about trade deals. This is about whether a middle
power can successfully decouple from a superpower while under active
economic pressure. The stakes are enormous: $70 billion in new trade
with India, historic parliamentary address in Australia, and
strategic partnerships in Tokyo—all while facing potential 100% U.S.
tariffs.
In this video, I break down the complete strategy, the real numbers
behind the pivot, and the three scenarios for how this ends. With
the USMCA trade agreement up for review in July 2026, the next few
months will determine whether the North American alliance survives

meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in support of Ukraine. The
meeting was co-chaired by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
Sir Keir Starmer, and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. The
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, participated along with
other leaders of the Coalition of the Willing.
Marking four years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion
of Ukraine, members of the Coalition reaffirmed their unwavering
support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, freedom, sovereignty,
and independence. They affirmed their support for efforts led by the
United States to achieve these objectives through ongoing peace
negotiations.
Members noted that Russia is failing economically, strategically,
and militarily four years into the unjustifiable, horrific war for
which it is solely responsible.
The leaders underscored the Coalition’s readiness to provide robust
security guarantees for Ukraine and to increase pressure on Russia,
including through further economic sanctions, including additional
financial sanctions, the oil price cap, further restrictions on
Russia’s shadow fleet, and a ban of maritime services related to
Russian crude oil.
Prime Minister Carney reaffirmed Canada’s steadfast support for
Ukraine and our willingness to contribute to the success of the
peace process, working closely with key partners. He also
underscored Canada’s support for Ukraine’s defence and security,
including through Canada’s contributions of approximately $892
million toward critical military capabilities sourced from the NATO
Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL).
The Prime Minister announced significant new commitments of military
support, including the renewal and expansion of Operation UNIFIER –
Canada’s military training and capacity-building mission in support
of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Newly announced support also includes
approximately $2 billion in military assistance for this upcoming
fiscal year as well as a donation of 400 armoured vehicles to
Ukrainian forces.
Prime Minister Carney also announced a new comprehensive sanctions
package to compound pressure on Russia, including sanctions on an
additional 100 vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet, and working with
the European Union and the United Kingdom to further lower the oil
price cap on Russian crude oil.
Canada will also provide $20 million in additional support to the
Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
The duration of this war is uncertain, the outcome is not. Canada
and the members of the Coalition of the Willing will continue to
stand firmly with Ukraine for as long as it takes to achieve a just
and lasting peace.

Trump Declared War on Canada —
Carney's Response Shocked the World - Feb 22
Trump thought Canada would fold. He was wrong.
When Donald Trump launched a full-scale trade war against America's closest ally
— slapping 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, threatening annexation, and calling
the border an "artificial line" — he expected submission. What he got was Mark
Carney.
In this video, we break down the full story: how Trump's economic pressure
campaign backfired spectacularly, how a former Bank of England governor pulled
off one of the most stunning political comebacks in democratic history, and how
Canada quietly signed 12 trade deals across 4 continents while Washington was
posting on social media.
From the Oval Office "never" moment to the Davos speech that stunned the world —
this is the story of how Canada stopped flinching, and what it means for the
future of North America.

Something Crucial
EXPLODED in Russia... Putin Is FINISHED - 101,275 views - Feb 25
On February 4th, Ukraine launched forty-three drones at one of
Russia's most heavily defended targets — the Progress missile
factory in Michurinsk. Russian Pantsir air defense systems and ZU-23
gun crews intercepted every single one. They won every engagement.
And they still lost.
This video breaks down how Ukraine used cheap UJ-22 decoy drones to
drain Russian air defense magazines, then sent AN-196 Lyuty strike
drones through the empty corridor behind them. We explain how the
Pantsir-S1 engagement chain works, why Russia's R-330Zh Zhitel
electronic warfare jammer was the most effective defense in the
corridor, and how Ukraine's Skynode S visual navigation system made
their drones completely immune to GPS jamming.
But the real target was never the factory. What happened nine hours
later at the Kochetovka-2 rail yard reveals one of the most
sophisticated multi-domain operations of the entire Ukraine-Russia
war and why modern drone warfare has changed air defense forever.
