Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is openly pushing Canada away from the United States and toward Europe, using familiar language that should concern every American who believes in national sovereignty.
In recent remarks, Carney argued that middle-power countries should stop competing for favor with America and instead build strength through like-minded allies. He described Canada and Europe as a combined force for good, emphasizing human rights, dignity, and pluralism. Carney went even further, declaring that a “new world order” — his exact term — will be built starting with Europe and calling Canada the most European of non-European countries. His government is now seeking deeper cooperation with the European Union as trade tensions with the Trump administration continue.
This helps explain Canada's absence from key trade talks and its economic struggles. Canada is now the only G7 country reportedly facing recession, while the United States remains the world's dominant consumer market, accounting for roughly 30 percent of global consumer spending.
President Trump's tariffs and trade negotiations are aimed at correcting decades of bad deals that hollowed out American manufacturing under the banner of globalization. Even though Carney is whining and threatening to isolate the U.S., we should never be strongarmed or manipulated by our inferiors.
America should never subsidize governments that reject our values, undermine our workers, and chase European-style socialism. Canada can choose its path, but the United States must choose its own: sovereignty, strength, production, and America First trade. And by the time Canada’s plans fail, the U.S. may have two more states as the resource-rich provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan consider embracing independence.
