Rewind a bit. While Trump was gearing up his trade war machine, Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister, wasn’t just sitting in Ottawa twiddling his thumbs. He’d been quietly increasing Canada’s holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds—over $350 billion worth by early 2025, part of the $8.53 trillion foreign countries hold in U.S. debt. On the surface, it looked like a safe play, a hedge against economic chaos. But it wasn’t just defense. It was a loaded gun.
Carney didn’t stop there. He took his case to Europe. Not for photo ops, but for closed-door meetings with the EU’s heavy hitters—Germany, France, the Netherlands. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada wouldn’t just retaliate with duties on American cars or steel. It would start offloading those Treasury bonds. Not a fire sale—nothing so crude. A slow, steady bleed. A signal to the markets that the U.S. dollar’s perch wasn’t so secure.

Canada offloading the bonds at discount would also lower interest rates, which is another Trump goal.
But because of Canada's anti-free speech ethos, reporters are forbidden from announcing results in the maritime/eastern provinces until polls close in British Columbia.
So, Canada decided to elect the biggest globalist they could find. I say tariff the hell out of Canada.

Never underestimate the power of TDS.

Will us curing our election frauds spread?

Looks like Alberta incoming, whether a State, a territory of USA, or a sovereign nation with economic partnership. One way to excise the KommieKunt cancer and election fraud.

Perhaps we just make like a football trade. They give us Saskatchewan we give them Minnesota.
