Strategically, I do not think it was wise for Mark Carney to have acknowledged that he approved Doug Ford's tariff ad before it was aired in the USA. This decision provided Carney no exit strategy in the event of a political fallout, and there was one. While Canadian media downplays Trump's concerns of the ad impacting both U.S. elections and a U.S. Supreme Court decision on tariffs, I do not believe they are correct in their assumptions. Trump is all about political posture, ego and strategic governance. He does not appreciate someone taking a jab at him. In my view, the ad truly was political interference and a direct attack on Trump's Republican Party. Media influence in the USA is consequential for the average voter, and Trump knows it. We should be asking - did Ford and Carney collude with the Democrats to air the ad. That would be extremely un-beneficial for Canada, especially if Trump determines that that was the case. Never rule out the fact that Carney may be implementing a stealth takeover of Canada for the USA. Folks, this is a Hollywood production.
No one knows how the US-Canada trade negotiations are proceeding and that is not necessarily a good thing for Canadians. With Leblanc and Jolie heading Canada's "trade team" I'm convinced they are sacrificing Canada's future for Quebec's interests, especially when it comes to Supply Management and Language Rights. All this while Alberta's separatist movement grows.
We don't need tariff ads.
Thank you, Joseph Pede
