1/ 🧵

There are so many theories flying around as to whether the tariffs are, or are not about securing the northern border that I wanted to create a thread on this. I will start by focusing on the border issue, then I'll move to the grand plan

2/

I wanted to start by highlighting that the US/Canada border is NOT secure. It's not even just the border. It's the drugs, the ports, and the money laundering. @jasonjamesbnn

3/

And this tactic Trudeau is using is to downplay Canada's culpability by saying that we are less than 1% of the migrant problem for the US, even those appear to be lies.

4/

Just recently, Trump put out a post on Truth Social giving an ultimatum to every US friendly nation. They either side with the BRICS Nations, or with the SWIFT banking system, so letting the Chinese traffic drugs in Canada is a problem for the US.

What Trump/MAGA is doing is ridding the world of global progressivism (aka globalism). This is why there is so much support for this 51st state suggestion in Canada: Canadians see Trump as the enemy of their enemy.

No one wants to say it, but the issue is that we are trading with an evil nation (China) which is bribing & blackmailing our politicians in a manner that far surpasses what a Western nation like the US would consider doing. @jasonjamesbnn

7/

I suspect Trump knows that Trudeau has allowed himself to be severely compromised by taking in all these Chinese donations himself, mirroring what the Bidens and Clintons are doing south of the border. @jasonjamesbnn

8/

I've often asked, what's the problem with money laundering if the crimes are committed elsewhere, and the answer is that the money laundering, and the subsequent bribing of officials to get access to unpoliced ports IS the crime. @jasonjamesbnn

Danielle Smith is smart and she realizes that Ottawa will come begging it for resources soon, so she is positioning herself on friendly terms with Trump.

10/

Scott Moe is at least smart enough to follow Smith's lead.

11/

Eby comes across as a moron. He has fallen in line, and like Ford is throwing his province under a bus to support Trudeau, and by extension, the promise of more socialism.

12/

Ford has followed suit today, and is basically campaigning for the Liberal party.

13/

But it's important to put this into perspective as many of the Republican governors came out supporting Trump.

14/

Just as an aside, the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso have fallen in the last 48 hours

15/

In full fairness, the US is getting hammered also

16/

Panama has also caved now, so everything seems to be going according to Trump's plan. In the next thread I'll go over what it appears that plan may be.

17/

I think, for Trump, this goes back to his first term where Angela Merkel told him right to his face that she wouldn't pay her 2% NATO commitments b/c she knew America would pay it for them anyways. Trump is simply tired of US being the sucker.

18/

Trudeau is trying to make Trump the bad guy, and pull another covid where we have to all work together to get out of this calamity. But one look at the percentage of Canadians afflicted with TDS on Jan 6, 2020 vs Jan 6, 2024, and it's like a 75 point spread.

19/

In addition to the aim of getting Canada to secure their border, Trump also has a grander vision of bringing manufacturing back to America, and he is using tariffs as a vehicle to do so.

20/

Trump's legacy, then, will be a complete overhaul and reimagining of the post world war, Bretton Woods system of commerce!

21/

Part of the justification for this new commerce system is the argument that America should not be providing this economic stability free of cost. Essentially, the tariffs should go towards financing the US military machine.

22/

Under this expanded view, Canada & Mexico are to act as examples to the rest of the world, to ensure they are forced into compliance.

23/

Apparently, no one in the Liberal party or the Ontario government bothered to actually try to understand the Trump vision, so they just think Trump likes tariffs.

24/

The Trump administration has also taken objection to some of our protectionist tactics, like supply management (aka the dreaded dairy cartel), the banks, and the telecom corps.

25/

Trump wants to unleash his economy, whereas we have globalists who want to shackle ours and further impoverish us. This is why his 51st state tactic gained so much support among Canadians.

26/

The Liberals will not try to negotiate b/c they need the tariffs to win the election. The Liberals care about their party first, and the country second. This is the fundamental problem of the party system.

27/

Maxime Bernier of the People's Party is the only national leader who has offered anything that resembles a solution to this calamity: @MaximeBernier @peoplespca

1. Secure the Border – Crack down on fentanyl, deport all illegals, and halt immigration.
2. Renegotiate Trade – Put NAFTA, dairy supply management, and key issues back on the table.
3. Reduce U.S. Dependence – Tear down interprovincial trade barriers and find new export markets.
4. Boost Productivity – Cut taxes, slash regulations, end corporate subsidies, and build a gold reserve.
