While repeating his claim that Canada can easily replace their trade relationship with the USA by seeking larger trade relationship with other countries, specifically the EU, current interim Prime Minister Mark Carney repeats that no contact will be attempted or accepted by the Canadian government until President Donald Trump shows him respect.
This doesn’t portend favorably for U.S-Canada relations; which, to be fair, they would argue have been destroyed by President Donald Trump questioning their sovereignty. However, here’s the kicker, what Canadians don’t seem to realize is that questioning their sovereignty is simply a strategy by President Trump to eliminate the one-sided trade relationship with Canada.
It is funny to me that Canada just can’t figure this out.
As long as Canada refuses to engage with President Trump due to a perceived lack of respect, President Donald Trump will continue to enhance his disrespect of Canada, because the absence of engagement assists his ‘total trade reset’ objective. President Trump wants to ¹show, perhaps prove to the Canadian people, how dependent they are on their USA relationship; vis-a-vis they are already not a sovereign, economically independent nation. WATCH:
¹Somewhere around 80% of Canadians have no concept of how their economy is functioning {GO DEEP}. Most Canadians seem to think they have some form of capitalistic system in operation and tweeking the knobs will fix things; it won’t.
So, from an American political perspective, specifically from the perspective of President Trump – as noted in all of his repeated remarks about the upcoming Canadian election, having Mark Carney carry out his policies and watching the system therein collapse, might break the borg-mindset. It will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency hits around 0.25¢ to the US dollar. However, that currency collapse will ¹more than eliminate any Trump tariff impact.
REPEAT – This is all predictable.
Here’s how it will happen. CAD = Canadian Dollar, USD = U.S Dollar
President Trump hits Canada with an approximately 50% tariff. Let’s say an import widget from Canada costs the purchaser/importer $100 CAD + 50% tariff, now $150 CAD.
$1 CAD = 0.70¢ USD
Without U.S. tariff, it costs $70 USD to purchase the $100 CAD widget.
With the U.S tariff it would take $105 USD to purchase $150 Canadian widget
However, due to economic policy, Canada’s dependence on the USA market and the tariff battle, the Canadian currency drops around 30%. $1 CAD now equals 0.50¢ USD
With currency drop it now costs $50 USD to purchase the original $100 Canadian widget. $75 USD with tariff.
BEFORE: $70 USD without U.S. tariff, or AFTER: $75 USD with 50% U.S. tariff. A net change of $5.
But wait, back to Mark Carney’s plan. As stated in his tariff policy, the prime minister will take income from the Canadian side of the tariff equation (countervailing duties) to subsidize the impacted export sector. Just like China and the EU did in ’17, ’18 and ’19, the Canadian government plans to offset the difference to the U.S. consumer by subsidizing the exporter with import tariff income. All of this is done to retain access to USA consumers.
The final outcome, the U.S. purchaser is back to the original price of $70, only now that same outcome is evident with an invisible $50 tariff.
This is what China tried to do. This is what the EU tried to do. This is what Canada is now planning to do to retain access to the U.S. market while they look for alternatives.
But wait, it gets better….
….. As the Canadian financial sector evaluates the likely drop in the CAD currency, they seek safe harbor investment to retain the value of their money. The reciprocal tariffs are hitting every currency. The Canadian finance sector purchases dollar and dollar-backed assets to retain their value. This approach increases the value of the U.S dollar.
Do you really think President Trump gives a hoot about PM Carney’s feelings? Quite frankly, Trump would not want to be bothered by Canada while he is working on a much, much bigger geopolitical economic dynamic.
Go back and reference the renegotiation of the NAFTA for reference. Trump didn’t care if Canada (Trudeau/Freeland) agreed or did not agree with the USMCA. Trump was quite willing, heck he was hoping, to just deal with Canada on a bilateral trade system.

Perhaps viewed as a Lawfare shot across the bow to those who might share or discuss sensitive government information including leaks to media from internal sources, President Trump has reportedly revoked the security clearances of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and around a dozen DC operators who use the currency of information access to assimilate wealth and influence.
WASHINGTON – President Trump issued a memo Friday rescinding the security clearances of more than a dozen individuals, including former President Joe Biden and his entire family, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump wrote in the memo to the heads of executive departments and agencies, before naming those he’s barring from receiving classified information.
The list includes his three past presidential election opponents — Clinton, Biden and Harris — as well as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Former Biden administration officials Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Lisa Monaco are also on the list, as is anti-Trump Republicans Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
“I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information,” Trump, 78, wrote.
The president also ordered executive department and agency heads to “revoke unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities from these individuals.” (link)
She who must not be named, remains conspicuously absent from mention.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is looking for people within the Intelligence Community (IC) who have been leaking classified information to their media allies.
VIA DOJ – “Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the following statement today regarding an investigation into the leak of intelligence information.
“The Justice Department is opening a criminal investigation relating to the selective leak of inaccurate, but nevertheless classified, information from the Intelligence Community relating to Tren de Aragua (TDA). We will not tolerate politically motivated efforts by the Deep State to undercut President Trump’s agenda by leaking false information onto the pages of their allies at the New York Times. The Alien Enemies Proclamation is supported by fact, law, and common sense, which we will establish in court and then expel the TDA terrorists from this country.” (link)

Chopper pressers are the best pressers. President Trump delivers remarks to the media as he departs the White House heading to Bedminster, New Jersey. WATCH:

President Trump announced the next generation fighter jet, the F-47 that has been developed and conducting classified test flights for the past 5 years.
Against a backdrop where both France and the U.K are attempting to leverage the anti-Trump NATO alignment within the EU to purchase non-U.S. fighter jets, the F-47 announcement by President Trump is a fastball around the ears of Macron and Starmer. The timing is not coincidental.
At 13:35 of the video below, the question and answers with the media begin. The first question was “who killed JFK?”

If you are concerned about the economics of American life, the first step is to understand the financial influences that were put into place by President Obama, then again with Obama’s team using the auspices of Joe Biden.
President Trump is rapidly untangling the tentacles of Obama’s “share the wealth” exfiltration policy, and he will achieve success on a scale most economic analysts cannot fathom. Traditional financial media, including those who follow the influences of Wall Street are constrained by their need to retain pretenses. However, President Trump and his economic team are very clear-eyed and focused.
We are already seeing major drops in core energy prices including gasoline. These decreases will have downstream impacts on all consumer goods, and we will notice a significant drop in food prices in two steps.
The first will be moderate and the result of harvest one cost decreases. The second price drop will be even greater and will come as a result in major farm costs for the second harvest sequence. By Thanksgiving 2025, lowered energy prices in combination with ‘food prepared at home’ price drops will be the leading cause of a major decline in inflation.
In the background of this domestic outcome, the April 2nd tariffs will start to ripple through durable goods. Initially, there will be waves and fluctuations as some durable goods prices increase and other durable goods prices decrease. The more the components of the product are domestically manufactured, the more the price of the end product will drop in price.
As a result, the aggregate downward pressure (higher domestic content) will exceed the upward pressure (higher import content component goods) and overall prices for durable goods will decline. This deflationary pressure point will increase over time as the end of the Marshal Plan starts to return dollars to the United States.
All of the above factors focus on total cost of goods (TCG) outcomes. However, the MAGAnomic program doesn’t stop with ‘goods’. The next phase of MAGAnomics, the geopolitical angle will run in the background; lesser noticed, more difficult to track, and yet subject to geopolitical gaslighting from the financial media.
President Trump is currently reversing the dollar-value damage (currency damage) that Barack Obama and Joe Biden intentionally created.
President Trump has expressed an intention to align a new geopolitical strategic relationship with Russia, after the issues with the Ukraine-Russia conflict are resolved.
The primary focus of this strategic U.S-Russia relationship will be economic; however, Trump is positioned to leverage Putin’s assistance toward regional issues around the globe, specifically the middle east and Asia-Pacific.
The first sequential step will be to reverse the sanctions against Russia. By reversing the sanction regime, the BRICS+ alignment is weakened, and the dollar-based global trade currency is strengthened. This approach has two direct benefits.
The first benefit is direct. The national security influence of a higher value dollar affords President Trump greater leverage over regional conflict zone resolution. The second benefit is less direct. A higher dollar value eliminates almost all import trade tariff outcomes. We purchase foreign goods with higher value dollars; therefore, it takes less dollars to purchase the import.
Now, keep in mind the EU has a sanctions regime against Russia that is separate to the U.S. sanctions regime. Obama’s crew used Joe Biden to pressure the EU to fall in line with ‘first of its kind’ severe sanctions regime created by Biden’s White House, Treasury and State Dept. The EU/WEF’s ‘Build Back Better’ energy program was leveraged by Obama/Biden to create pressure points for compliance.
To benefit the USA strategy, President Trump will now want the EU to remove their side of the sanction’s regime against Russia. This will be tricky, because simultaneous to this need President Trump will be removing the Marshal Plan of one-way tariffs that underpins the larger EU economic benefit with the United States.
In fact, the April 2nd outline of tariffs against the EU could be (I believe will be) used to create initial leverage to nudge the EU to remove the Russian sanctions regime.
Remember, in the aggregate the sanction removal helping the Russian economy is secondary to the motive of the sanction removal assisting Trump will a higher dollar value and even more pressure on Beijing for geopolitical national security interests. This is essentially Donald Trump avoiding a U.S-China military conflict by using economics in place of military assets.
The second leverage point for EU compliance will be NATO. President Trump will likely leverage U.S. continued NATO involvement as a tool to get the EU to remove Russian sanctions and simultaneously diffuse issues with higher tariffs on EU goods.
[SIDEBAR – French President Emmanuel Macron can see this coming, hence he is trying to organize a NATO system that is less reliant on the USA. Macron is not pushing for a stronger military in the EU to defend itself, Macron is pushing for a stronger military in the EU so President Trump cannot leverage U.S. military support against French compliance with tariffs. Macron’s push for a continued Ukraine conflict is part of this equation.]
This is the rather complicated background to understand this very important interview with Special Envoy Ambassador Steve Witkoff. Within the interview Witkoff outlines some very interesting points about the relationship between President Trump and President Vladimir Putin. THIS IS MUST WATCH:
Most of the world will entirely miss the importance of what Ambassador Steve Witkoff is outlining in this interview. However, if you understand the bigger goals and objectives, and if you always remember President Trump is focused on the economic angle, then you can clearly see the outline of the long-term strategy.
Last point. Russia was never an enemy to the United States. Russia is an enemy to the operations of the CIA.
