4 Days To SAVE Canada: The Tariff Endgame
from The Maple Conservative Girl
Canada is 4 days away from a major new round of U.S. tariffs — and the Liberal government still can't tell Canadians what its trade vision actually is. In this episode, I break down the Canada-U.S. trade negotiations ahead of the August 19 deadline, where Trump-threatened tariffs could hit nearly $20 billion in Canadian exports. I dig into what Mark Carney's government is offering Washington, what Canada is getting in return, and why officials are reportedly unhappy with the latest American proposal. I play and break down François-Philippe Champagne's "we control our own destiny" comments, and ask whether the record — from the scrapped digital services tax to dropped counter-tariffs to Gordie Howe Bridge concessions — actually backs that up. I also look at the billions in loans and support programs and ask whether they're real support for workers or a bandaid on a bullet hole. Plus: Shuvaloy Majumdar on what a Conservative alternative looks like, and whether the media is applying the same standard to every one of these stories. #CanadaTrade #Tariffs #MarkCarney #PierrePoilievre #CanadaUS #TradeDeal #CanadianPolitics #Trump #CUSMA #FrançoisPhilippeChampagne https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7305466 https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7305466 https://x.com/sarobertson_/status/2086945241207095376 https://x.com/sarobertson_/status/2087990413470654536 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-unhappy-u-s-offer-tariffs-9.7304923 https://x.com/JasminLaine/status/2086818811143963056 https://x.com/CTVNews/status/2088261816551952519 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2025/06/the-impact-of-us-trade-policy-on-jobs-and-inflation-in-canada/?utm https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1939559426735593
