Statement by Prime
Minister Carney to mark the New Year
December 31, 2025
Ottawa, Ontario
“Tonight, Canadians will gather with loved ones to celebrate the
start of the New Year.
This is a time for families and friends across the country to come
together and to welcome the year ahead. On New Year’s Eve, we pause
to reflect on the moments over the year that brought us joy, and the
people in our lives who made them special.
Although this year has brought more than its share of challenges to
our country, we have also been reminded that we are fortunate to be
part of one extraordinary, generous, and caring nation.
We are strongest when we are united, when we look out for each
other, and when we take care of each other. That is what makes
Canada strong.
As this year comes to a close, we resolve to carry that same spirit
and those same values into 2026.
Happy New Year, Canada.”
Canada’s Aluminum
Decision Trigger U.S. Supply CRISIS — Trump Has No Solution!
This story breaks down how Canada’s aluminum decisions triggered a
full-scale supply crisis inside the United States — and why Trump
has no viable solution heading into 2026.
For decades, the U.S. relied on Canadian aluminum as the backbone of
its manufacturing sector. Canada supplied more than half of
America’s total aluminum needs, providing clean, hydro-powered metal
that U.S. producers could no longer make competitively at home.
Trump believed tariffs would force Canada into submission.
Instead, Canada adapted.
This analysis examines how Trump’s aluminum tariffs backfired by
pushing Canadian producers to redirect shipments toward Europe and
Asia, permanently reshaping global aluminum trade flows. As Canadian
smelters diversified away from the U.S., American manufacturers were
left paying higher premiums, absorbing massive tariff costs, and
scrambling for supply that does not exist domestically.
We look at why the United States cannot replace Canadian aluminum —
not in months, not in years, and possibly not ever. Rising energy
costs, shuttered smelters, grid constraints, and long-term
infrastructure losses have left American production structurally
uncompetitive. Meanwhile, Canada’s hydroelectric advantage has
become a strategic asset it has no reason to surrender.
This video also explores how aluminum has quietly become leverage
for Canada ahead of the 2026 CUSMA negotiations — and why every
month this crisis continues deepens America’s dependency while
locking Canada into new global partnerships.
This isn’t just a story about tariffs or metal.
It’s about how trade pressure exposed dependence — and how Canada
turned that exposure into power.

aggressive US trade demands. This video reveals the unified strategy
between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Doug Ford, dubbed
"The Economist and The Bulldog." We analyze the psychological

leveraging energy dominance, and securing global investment to
declare economic independence from the United States.
The global race for
talent is shifting — and the United States may be losing its biggest
advantage. - Jan 2
As Donald Trump tightens immigration rules and creates uncertainty
for H-1B visa holders, highly skilled workers are looking elsewhere.
And two countries are moving fast to seize the opportunity: Canada
and China.
In this in-depth analysis, we break down how Trump’s immigration
crackdown is triggering a growing U.S. brain drain, why Canada’s
fast visas and clear pathways to permanent residency are attracting
top global talent, and how China is selectively pulling in STEM and
AI experts to strengthen its innovation base.
We also explore why this moment aligns perfectly with Prime Minister
Mark Carney’s long-term vision — building economic power through
human capital, stability, and global competitiveness rather than
exclusion.
This isn’t just an immigration story.
It’s a global shift that could redefine where the next technology
and innovation hubs are built.
Trump H1B visa restrictions and the US brain drain are accelerating
a global talent shift, with Canada attracting skilled workers
through fast visas and clear residency pathways while China expands
its AI and tech talent strategy. As Trump immigration crackdown
policies backfire, Canada and China are emerging as global tech
hubs, reshaping innovation, competitiveness, and the future of the
world talent migration landscape.

Canada's STRONG
Response to Trump After Venezuela Invasion - Jan 4
Canada is no longer dismissing Donald Trump’s rhetoric — and the
escalation surrounding Venezuela has pushed Ottawa into a new
posture.
Following Trump’s statements and actions related to Venezuela,
Canadian officials are reassessing U.S. intentions, global
stability, and Canada’s own national security assumptions. What
alarms Ottawa is not just Venezuela itself, but the language of
dominance, control, and unilateral action now being openly embraced
by the U.S. president.
In this video, we break down what actually happened, what Trump said
at his press conference, and why Canada sees this moment as a
dangerous precedent. We examine why Canadian leaders believe Trump
is capable of going much further, how Canada is quietly preparing,
and why Ottawa is making it clear that it will never be threatened
or intimidated.
This is not about panic — it’s about preparation. And it marks a
turning point in how Canada views its relationship with the United
States under Donald Trump.
Canada Trump response coverage has intensified as the Venezuela
crisis pushes Canada to reassess U.S. intentions under Trump foreign
policy. The Trump Venezuela escalation has raised alarms about
national security, sovereignty threats, and Canada–US relations. As
Ottawa responds to Trump’s expansionist rhetoric and references to
the Monroe Doctrine, Canada is preparing with allies, reinforcing
its foreign policy shift, and signaling it will stand up to
intimidation while defending global security and international law.

Carney LEADS
Emergency Talks in Europe to Pressurize Trump - Jan 6
As global tensions spike following Trump’s actions in Venezuela and
his renewed threats to annex Greenland, Prime Minister Mark Carney
has moved quickly to Europe for high-level emergency discussions.
What were meant to be routine diplomatic meetings in Paris have
turned into urgent coordination talks with European leaders, NATO
officials, and Denmark — the country directly responsible for
Greenland’s sovereignty.
In this video, we break down why Canada sees Trump’s threats as a
warning sign, how Greenland has become a critical test case for
global security, and why Carney is working to align allies before
annexation rhetoric becomes normalized. We also examine Carney’s
firm defense of Canadian energy, his message to NATO, and why Ottawa
believes collective action is the only way to prevent further
escalation.
This is not about panic — it’s about prevention. And Canada is no
longer waiting to see what happens next.
Mark Carney’s Europe trip signals a major Canada Trump response as
annexation threats involving Greenland and escalation in Venezuela
raise global alarm. From Carney’s NATO meeting to emergency talks in
Paris, Canada is leading a Europe alliance to counter Trump’s
unpredictable actions. This foreign policy shift highlights Canada’s
role in global security, sovereignty defense, and coordinated
resistance as Ottawa stands up to Trump alongside allies.
Can the U.S. get

chairman David Goldwyn weighs in.
Canada’s Arctic
Move LOCKS the U.S. Out of a $900B Corridor - Jan 5
This video breaks down how Canada’s Arctic strategy has quietly
locked the United States out of a $900 billion trade corridor — and
why Trump’s pressure didn’t intimidate Ottawa, but accelerated one
of the biggest power shifts in the Arctic.
For decades, the U.S. treated the Northwest Passage as an
international shortcut it could use without consequences. Canada
claimed sovereignty on paper but lacked the infrastructure to
enforce it. That changed when Trump escalated economic threats and
trade pressure. Instead of backing down, Canada moved north.
This analysis explains how massive investments in Arctic ports,
icebreakers, and infrastructure turned a melting passage into a
strategic asset — cutting thousands of kilometers off global
shipping routes and unlocking critical minerals worth hundreds of
billions. What looks like climate geography is now economic and
geopolitical leverage.

Invading Canada
would be a TERRIBLE Mistake, here's why - 278,942 views Nov 14, 2025
Could the United States actually invade Canada — and hold it? With
renewed “51st state” rhetoric coming from parts of the U.S.
political sphere, we break down what would really happen if
Washington pushed north and NATO had to respond.
In this episode, we analyze the real military balance between Canada
and the U.S., looking at airpower, naval power, ground forces,
winter warfare capability, logistics, geography, and insurgency
risks.
We explore why the U.S. would win the opening battles — but why
holding Canada would be a completely different war. From Canada’s
massive wilderness and gun-owning population, to NATO’s likely
political and military response, to the catastrophic economic
fallout, this video breaks down why an occupation would quickly
become a strategic disaster.

Carney to Visit
China on SPECIAL Invitation by Chinese President - Jan 7
After stabilizing Canada’s position in Europe, Prime Minister Mark
Carney is now preparing for a major state visit to China —
personally invited by Xi Jinping. The visit marks a dramatic shift
after years of strained Canada–China relations and signals that
Ottawa is expanding its global leverage at a critical moment.
Trump’s recent actions — from strikes in Venezuela to renewed
annexation threats involving Greenland — have reshaped global
calculations. With Europe already aligned, Carney’s China visit adds
another pillar to Canada’s strategy: diversification. Trade, energy,
and supply-chain security are now central to Canada’s response as it
seeks to reduce vulnerability to U.S. tariffs and political pressure
under Donald Trump.
This video breaks down why the China visit matters now, how
potential talks around EV tariffs and Canadian canola could reshape
trade flows, and why expanding Canada’s options globally makes the
country harder to threaten. This isn’t about choosing sides — it’s
about ensuring Canada is never cornered.
Mark Carney’s China visit signals a major Canada China relations
reset as Ottawa expands global leverage amid Trump tariffs and trade
pressure. From Chinese EV tariffs and Canada canola trade to the
auto industry impact, Canada is diversifying its strategy through a
state visit to China. This foreign policy shift highlights Canada’s
broader geopolitical response, strengthening trade leverage and
reducing vulnerability while reshaping its global position.
Doug Ford Drops a
Bomb Shell on U.S companies— Crown Royal Pulled From LCBO Shelves! -
Jan 7
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has ignited a national debate after
announcing that Crown Royal whisky could soon disappear from LCBO
shelves. The move follows news that a major bottling facility in
Ontario is scheduled to close, shifting key operations outside the
province. Ford framed the decision as a clear message to
corporations considering moving jobs away from Ontario workers.
The announcement places one of Canada’s most iconic whisky brands at
the center of a political and economic standoff. With Ontario
controlling liquor sales through the LCBO, the province holds
enormous leverage, and Ford appears ready to use it to pressure
multinational companies to keep production local.

Why Canada wants to

Canada's contributions to space exploration are vast; this country

Hoping to change that, the federal government has set aside money
for Canada's sovereign space launch capability.
Heidi Petracek reports on how domestic firms are hoping to use that
funding to reach orbit.
Canada–Denmark Pact
LOCKS the U.S. Out of GREENLAND — Trump Has No Cards - Jan 9
This video breaks down how Canada’s decision to side with Denmark on
Greenland has quietly shut the United States out of a key Arctic
power play — and why Trump’s pressure didn’t isolate Ottawa, but
accelerated a deeper geopolitical realignment in the North.
For years, Washington treated Greenland as a strategic prize it
could influence through pressure, rhetoric, and assumption of
dominance. Trump openly framed the Arctic as negotiable territory,
expecting allies to eventually fall in line. Canada, long aligned
with U.S. Arctic policy by default, was assumed to follow. That
assumption turned out to be wrong.
As Trump escalated Arctic rhetoric and attempted to force alignment,
Canada chose a different path. Instead of backing U.S. ambitions,
Ottawa reinforced its partnership with Denmark — recognizing
sovereignty, stability, and long-term Arctic governance over
transactional pressure. What looks like a diplomatic gesture is, in
reality, a structural shift in Arctic power coordination.
This analysis explains how Canada’s alignment with Denmark reshapes
Arctic influence, why Greenland matters far beyond symbolism, and
how U.S. leverage weakens when allies refuse to legitimize pressure
politics. We examine Canada–Denmark Arctic cooperation, Greenland
sovereignty, Arctic geopolitics explained, Canada bypasses U.S.
Arctic strategy, U.S. influence declines in the North, Canada vs USA
Arctic power, and why Trump’s approach backfired at the alliance
level.
This isn’t just a story about Greenland. It’s about control. It’s
about credibility. And it’s about what happens when allies stop
treating pressure as leadership.
France HUMILIATES
Trump for Attacking Canada, Carney WINS - Jan 9
Donald Trump’s threat toward Greenland wasn’t just rhetoric — it was
a test of how far intimidation could go in today’s world. And Canada
responded faster and more decisively than many expected.
In this video, we break down how Prime Minister Mark Carney
transformed Trump’s Greenland threat into a moment of global
alignment. From Europe to NATO partners, Canada built a united front
that rejected annexation rhetoric and reinforced the principle of
sovereignty. This response also explains why European leaders,
including Emmanuel Macron, openly warned that Trump’s “51st state”
language toward Canada would damage the global order.
We explore why Greenland became the tipping point, how Arctic
security factors into the crisis, and why Canada’s strategy of
alliance-building forced Donald Trump to rethink escalation. This
wasn’t about outrage — it was about closing off options and raising
the cost of intimidation.
Canada didn’t escalate the crisis. It ended it.

Canadians Call on
Carney to DROP F-35 Jets Deal, Build Up Military with Swedish
Gripens - Jan 10
In Canadian politics news today, Bill responds to a comment we get a
lot on the channel, which essentially calls on Prime Minister Carney
to drop the deal for more F-35 fighter jets with the United States
in favour of building up Canada’s military by partnering with
Sweden’s Saab to purchase made-in-Canada Gripen E fighter jets
instead.
Prime Minister Carney has put the deal on hold for a “review
process”, seemingly using it as a bargaining chip in CUSMA trade
deal negotiations. But perhaps Canada, and the shifting global
political landscape, would benefit more from Carney’s political
leadership, boldly refusing to further intertwine our militaries and
giving the US a taste of its own non-compliance medicine.
Carney STANDS UP
Against Trump after Trump Threatens Mexico - Jan 10
Donald Trump’s latest threat of military action against Mexico has
sent shockwaves across North America — and Canada is paying close
attention. After U.S. action in Venezuela and ongoing annexation
rhetoric around Greenland, this escalation marks a dangerous new
phase in Trump’s approach to the region.
In this video, we break down why Trump’s warning to Mexico matters
deeply for Canada, how patterns of unilateral force are emerging,
and why Canadian sovereignty and security cannot be taken for
granted. We explore the risks of military coercion, the Arctic
pressure point, and why Canada must assess these developments
seriously.
Under Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada is no longer standing
still. With growing global support and clear pushback against
intimidation, Ottawa is positioning itself to ensure that any threat
toward Canada would carry global consequences for Donald Trump.
This is not about panic — it’s about preparedness. And it’s why
Trump’s threat to Mexico should matter to every Canadian.
Trump threatening Mexico has raised serious concerns across Canada,
as analysts examine Trump’s military rhetoric, annexation threats,
and escalation across North America. From Venezuela to Mexico and
potential pressure on Canada, this geopolitical crisis highlights
risks to Canadian sovereignty, Arctic security, and regional
stability under Mark Carney’s leadership.

Something unusual is happening inside Washington — and it’s not

internal revolt inside the Republican Party as lawmakers begin
pushing back against Donald Trump’s expanding use of power. From
emergency declarations to congressional resistance, this is a
behind-the-scenes political showdown that goes far beyond daily
headlines. This analysis explores why Republican senators are drawing
new lines, how constitutional checks like the War Powers framework
are suddenly back in focus, and what this moment reveals about
leadership, authority, and accountability in modern American
politics. Rather than partisan outrage, this video focuses on
process, power, and the long-term consequences for governance.

Carney UNITES The
World Against Trump's Thirst for CHAOS - Jan 13
Donald Trump’s escalating threats are no longer confined to one
region — they are shaking the foundations of the global order. From
Greenland and the Arctic to growing pressure across alliances,
uncertainty is becoming a weapon. And countries that rely on
international rules are being forced to act before those rules
collapse entirely.
In this video, we break down how Mark Carney has moved early to
stabilize a rapidly deteriorating global situation. From reinforcing
unity at home in British Columbia, to coordinating with European
allies, to engaging China as part of a broader diversification
strategy, Canada is no longer waiting for threats to land at its
doorstep.
We explore why Carney’s calm, coordinated approach stands in direct
contrast to Donald Trump’s destabilizing tactics — and why allies
are now listening to Canada in ways they haven’t for decades. This
isn’t about confrontation. It’s about preventing collapse before it
becomes irreversible.

either the EJ200 or EJ230 by Rolls-Royce but is this actually true?
They Said Gripen
Was Overrated — NATO Pilots Learned the Truth - Jan 7
Is the JAS 39 Gripen truly overrated, or is it the perfect "Arctic
Blade" for Canadian sovereignty? In this hypothetical strategic
analysis, we declassify the shocking results from a NATO exercise
where this Swedish underdog secured a 3-to-1 kill ratio against
elite heavy fighters. For decades, the "overrated" label haunted the
Gripen, yet its performance in the Baltic Sea proved that geometry
and situational awareness trump brute force horsepower every time.
We explore the "what if" scenario of the Swedish proposal to Canada,
examining how a "made-in-Canada" Gripen could have redefined our
aerospace sector and protected our vast Northern frontier. From its
ability to operate on frozen 800-meter runways to its 0.3-second
faster nose-point response, this jet was built for the rugged
Canadian reality. This deep-dive military analysis Canada focuses on
fiscal responsibility, sovereign control, and tactical disruption.
As we look at the future of NORAD and Canadian military analysis, we
must ask: does the smallest blade cut the deepest in the Arctic?

Mélanie Joly &
Carney CALLS OUT Trump's Defeat From China - Jan 15
Prime Minister Mark Carney had a consequential first day in China,
meeting Premier Li Qiang and signing eight memorandums of
understanding that signal a serious reset in Canada–China relations.
The visit — the first by a Canadian prime minister in eight years —
included a formal guard of honour, underscoring Beijing’s intent to
engage Canada as a long-term partner.
The day’s defining moment, however, came from Mélanie Joly, who
spoke bluntly to reporters about global instability — pointing
clearly to the unpredictability coming from the United States. Her
remarks marked a visible shift in Canada’s posture away from
pressure-based diplomacy associated with Donald Trump.
In this video, we break down why Day One in Beijing matters, what
the signed MOUs reveal about investment and trade potential, and why
expectations are now building around possible announcements on
Chinese EV manufacturing in Canada and relief for Canadian canola
farmers. This is about leverage, options, and a Canada that is no
longer boxed in.

Canadian PM in
Beijing: What does the trip signal for China-Canada ties? - Jan 17
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called on China and Canada to
advance the building of a new strategic partnership with a sense of
responsibility toward history, the people, and the world, when he
met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Now, Carney is in
China on a four-day visit, the first by a Canadian prime minister in
eight years, meeting both President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang.
Ottawa has called the trip "consequential and historic" as Canada
looks to reduce its reliance on the United States and strengthen
ties with China. What signals does this visit send for the future of
China-Canada relations? Can both sides ease tensions over tariffs
and trade disputes? And how might Washington respond? Don't miss

China tariff agreement a major boost for agriculture - Jan 17
In an interview with Global News, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe
says a deal cutting China’s canola tariffs from 85 per cent to 15

exports to flow again.
Moe says the agreement signals a positive shift in Canada–China
relations and lays the groundwork for expanded trade across
agriculture, energy and mining sectors.
He says the talks in Beijing were marked by a notably more positive
tone despite ongoing political and security differences between the
two countries.

Hoekstra Absolutely
LOSSES It as Carney Lands in Qatar For New Deal - Jan 17
After a highly successful visit to China, Prime Minister Mark Carney
has landed in Qatar to attract major global investment for Canada —
and the reaction from Washington has been anything but calm.
As Canada builds momentum through new trade and investment
partnerships following landmark deals in China, the U.S. Ambassador
to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, made a striking public comment, saying the
United States “does not need Canada.” While the remark may sound
defiant, it revealed deep frustration as Canada accelerates its
global diversification strategy.
In this video, we break down why Carney’s Qatar trip matters even
more than China, how global capital is beginning to view Canada as a
stable long-term destination, and why pressure-based tactics
associated with Donald Trump are rapidly losing effectiveness. This
isn’t about symbolism — it’s about leverage, capital, and Canada no
longer waiting for U.S. approval.

Chaos in Canada
Today! Brutal Snow Storm Causing Many Collision Pile Up in Hwy 401 -
Jan 16
In what meteorologists are describing as a "once-in-a-decade"
weather event, a massive winter storm system has blanketed Southern
and Eastern Ontario in record-breaking snow, bringing Canada’s most
populous province to a literal standstill. Starting late Thursday
night and intensifying through Friday, January 16, 2026, the storm
has disrupted international travel, forced the closure of hundreds
of schools, and triggered widespread power outages. Within Toronto,
the TTC struggled to maintain subway service on outdoor portions of
the lines, while hundreds of buses were redirected or stuck in
unplowed side streets. At Toronto Pearson International Airport,
over 70% of scheduled flights were canceled. Ground crews worked
tirelessly, but visibility frequently dropped to near-zero, making
taxiing operations unsafe. Meanwhile, A catastrophic multi-vehicle
collision involving over 60 vehicles, including several
tractor-trailers, forced the total closure of Highway 401 in both
directions near Whitby on Friday, January 16, 2026. The accident
occurred during the peak of a "whiteout" blizzard that has gripped
Southern Ontario, creating what emergency responders are calling a
"war zone" on Canada’s busiest highway. The pileup began at
approximately 10:45 AM in the eastbound lanes near Brock Street.
Witnesses described a terrifying scene of screeching tires and the
thundering sound of metal crushing metal. Several passenger cars
were pinned beneath the trailers of heavy trucks, while others were
forced off the road into deep snowbanks. The Highway 401 closure has
caused a massive ripple effect across Ontario’s transportation
network. With the 401 blocked, traffic diverted to Highway 2 and the
407 ETR, which quickly became overwhelmed by the volume of vehicles
and the deteriorating weather. Meanwhile, A catastrophic series of
collisions involving more than 45 vehicles paralyzed a major stretch
of Highway 402 on Friday, January 16, 2026. Driven by ferocious
"Lake Effect" snow squalls originating from Lake Huron, the incident
transformed the vital trade corridor connecting Ontario to Michigan
into a graveyard of twisted metal and jackknifed trailers. The chaos
began shortly after 9:30 AM between Airport Road and Modeland Road.
Witnesses describe a sudden, impenetrable "wall of white" that
reduced visibility from several kilometers to zero in a matter of
seconds. In the blinding snow, subsequent vehicles—including several
more tractor-trailers and dozens of passenger cars—slammed into the
wreckage at highway speeds. The economic impact is estimated to be
in the millions of dollars per hour, as "just-in-time" delivery
schedules for the automotive and agricultural sectors are completely
disrupted.
Trump Destroyed the
US–Canada Relationship | How America Lost Its Closest Ally - Jan 17
Donald Trump has destroyed the US–Canada relationship, and the
damage may last for generations. In this video, we break down how
Trump’s tariffs, threats, and reckless treatment of Canada led Prime
Minister Mark Carney to declare that the decades-long process of
economic integration between the United States and Canada is over.
As a lawyer and constitutional conservative, George Conway explains
why Trump’s actions amount to a fundamental breach of
trust—comparable to an anticipatory breach in contract law—and how
this betrayal is pushing Canada to permanently diversify away from
the United States. Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship by
imposing arbitrary tariffs, mocking Canadian sovereignty, and
treating alliances as zero-sum conflicts.
This video examines how Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship,
why Canada is turning toward China and other global markets, and how
this shift will weaken American power, influence, and security for
decades to come. Trump destroyed the US–Canada relationship not
through strategy, but through narcissistic incompetence—and the
consequences are irreversible.

Donald Trump's tariffs and trade disputes. Does this mark a shift in
how global trade will work in the future?
With new deals on the table, our economics editor, Faisal Islam,

All-New 2026 BYD
Seal – Better Range, Better Price Than Tesla? - Jan 16
The 2026 BYD Seal is quickly becoming one of the strongest
challengers to the Tesla Model 3—offering impressive electric range,
fast charging, modern interior technology, and a price tag that
undercuts most competitors. As EV buyers across the U.S. look for
maximum value without sacrificing performance, the BYD Seal stands
out as a serious threat in the electric sedan market.
In this video, we break down the range, battery tech, pricing,
performance, interior features, infotainment system, safety
technology, build quality, charging speed, and driving experience of
the 2026 BYD Seal. We also compare it directly with its biggest
rivals: Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 6, and Polestar 2.
Is the BYD Seal finally the affordable long-range EV buyers have
been waiting for? Or is Tesla’s reputation still strong enough to
hold the crown? Find out in this full deep-dive review.
Six months with a
BYD Seal: It’s not what we expected!
After six months behind the wheel, Nicola Hume reveals what it’s
really like to live with the BYD Seal, the electric saloon that’s
been making waves as a serious Tesla Model 3 rival. Has this
newcomer from China lived up to the hype, or has the shine worn off
after half a year of real-world driving?
In this long-term review, Nicola dives into what the Seal is like to
actually live with day-to-day, from charging, comfort, and build
quality to tech, practicality, and real-world range. Is it as
efficient as BYD claims? How does it handle long motorway trips? And
crucially, should you pick one over a Model 3 or Polestar 2?
Join Nicola as she gives her honest verdict after six months of
commuting, road trips, and everything in between, the highs, the
niggles, and whether she’d keep the keys for good.

CANADA WINS BIG -
Carney DECLARES U.S. ERA OVER, Triggers $400B Economic Shift - Jan
19
Canada’s strategic pivot is no longer rhetorical—this SRT lays out a
structural break after Mark Carney’s Toronto message that “automatic
U.S. predominance” has ended.
We unpack how accelerated Canadian defense and industrial spending
could redirect $350B–$400B CAD and reduce U.S. cross-border revenue
once treated as guaranteed.
This analysis connects tariffs, procurement directives, and
supply-chain trust to a self-inflicted cost shock that ultimately
hits households, not just boardrooms.
Then we examine the F-35 reassessment and why software control,
maintenance exclusivity, and sovereignty are now central to the
Canada–U.S. leverage fight.
Finally, we map the deeper layer:
critical minerals, long-term contracts, and allied coordination that
can lock in a new architecture for a generation.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney seemed to challenge Donald Trump
in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week,
declaring that “the old world order is not coming back” and urging
fellow “middle powers” to come together.
In response, Trump said Canada gets “a lot of freebies” from the

After striking a major trade and tariff deal with China – the US’s
rival superpower – is Carney emerging as the leader of a global
resistance to Trump? And does he have an alternative vision for the
world?

America "We Don't
Need Canada" — Now Watch What Happens -
660,614 views Jan 23, 2026
Canada relies entirely on the U.S., we don't rely on Canada." —
President Donald Trump
That's not just wrong. It's so economically illiterate that it
raises serious questions about whether the person saying it
understands how the American economy actually functions.
Here's what Trump isn't telling you: Right now, as you're reading
this, 4.1 million barrels of Canadian crude oil are flowing into
U.S. refineries. American homes in the Midwest are being heated with
Canadian natural gas. Power grids in New York, Michigan, and
Minnesota are running on Canadian electricity. And if any of that
stops, even temporarily, the economic consequences would be
catastrophic.
This video breaks down the actual
numbers behind the U.S.-Canada relationship:
→ 63% of U.S. crude oil imports come from Canada (not the Middle
East, not Venezuela—Canada)
→ 98% of U.S. natural gas imports are Canadian
→ 82% of electricity imports flow south from Canadian power plants
→ $151 billion in annual energy trade that American infrastructure
literally cannot function without
→ $350 billion in U.S. exports to Canada—more than to any other
country
But it's not just energy. When Trump imposed 25% tariffs in 2025,
U.S. imports collapsed 20% in a single month. American manufacturers
suddenly paying 25% more for Canadian steel didn't celebrate—they
started planning layoffs. Inflation, which had finally been cooling,
began ticking back up. And the damage is still accelerating.
Meanwhile, something unprecedented is happening north of the border.
For the first time in modern history, Canada's prime minister said
Canadians now live in "dark days brought on by a country we can no
longer trust." That country is America. 90% of Canadians oppose
annexation. 82% say they'd rather rejoin the British Empire than
become the 51st state.
The closest alliance in modern history is fracturing in real time,
and the consequences—economic, diplomatic, strategic—are only
beginning to unfold.
We're watching a masterclass in how to destroy a relationship that
took 175 years to build. And whether you support Trump or not, the
math doesn't care about politics. The oil still needs to flow. The
natural gas still needs to move through pipelines. The supply chains
still need to function. Reality always wins.
This isn't partisan analysis. This is just following the numbers to
their logical conclusion—and the conclusion is alarming.

The End of Oil: How

For more than a century, oil has defined global power.

fossil fuels.
But that era may be ending faster than anyone expected.
Canada has confirmed massive Helium-3 deposits beneath its Arctic
permafrost — a fuel capable of powering nuclear fusion, the same
reaction that powers the sun. If commercialized, Helium-3 fusion
could deliver virtually unlimited, clean energy and make oil, gas,
and coal obsolete within decades.

Carney ISSUES
WARNING to Trump After Trump’s Desperate New Move - Jan 29
After weeks of threats and pressure tactics, Donald Trump’s orbit
has made a new and dangerous move — engaging with separatist
movements inside Canada.
When asked about reports of Trump-linked figures interacting with
Alberta separatist groups, Prime Minister Mark Carney responded
firmly, shutting down any attempt to legitimize foreign interference
in Canada’s internal affairs. Former Canadian diplomats have since
warned that such engagement crosses a serious diplomatic red line
and risks undermining national unity.
Trump EMBARRASSES
Himself After Carney SHUTS DOWN Aviation Threat - Jan 30
Donald Trump has launched yet another trade threat against Canada —
this time targeting the country’s aviation industry. In a sudden
announcement, Trump warned of massive tariffs and potential aircraft
decertification, triggering immediate concern across North America’s
aerospace sector.
But within hours, the White House was forced to retreat, softening
its position amid fears of economic self-destruction and legal
challenges. Analysts quickly pointed out that Trump may not even
have the authority to enforce such measures, while experts warned
that American workers and manufacturers would suffer first.
In this in-depth analysis, Canada Today breaks down how Prime
Minister Mark Carney’s long-term diversification strategy left
Canada prepared and protected — while Trump walked away politically
weakened. We examine the legal limits, economic consequences, and
geopolitical implications behind this failed pressure campaign.
Was this another miscalculation by Trump? And how did Canada manage
to turn a major threat into a strategic win?
Watch now for the full story behind Trump’s aviation dispute and why

Canada has confirmed one of the largest alumina discoveries ever

when global demand is accelerating and traditional sources face
growing uncertainty.
This discovery is about more than volume. It represents a shift in
industrial leverage, energy security, and long-term manufacturing
independence. With critical minerals tied directly to aerospace,
defense, electric vehicles, and power infrastructure, the project
could reshape trade relationships and strengthen Canada’s role as a
strategic supplier for allied nations.
The Hospital, The
EV Plant & The Lawsuits | Windsor's 2026 Reality - Jan 31
Welcome to WinAirvideo. 2026 is a turning point year for Windsor and
Essex County, with billions of dollars in construction finally
moving from plans to job sites. In this WinAirvideo report, we break
down the biggest infrastructure and development projects hitting key
milestones this year – and what they mean for drivers, taxpayers and
residents.
We cover the new Fancsy Family Hospital on County Road 42, a 2
billion dollar regional health project starting its first major
construction phase in 2026. We look at the Banwell Road and E.C. Row
interchange, the Lauzon Parkway rebuild, future Highway 401
connections, and County bridge and culvert projects designed to move
more traffic and trucks through Windsor–Essex.
We also dig into the massive NextStar Energy EV battery plant – a
more than 5 billion dollar megaproject backed by production linked
federal incentives – and the lawsuits, contractor disputes and
political debates that exploded around it in 2025. Finally, we point
to new housing and community projects, from a 27 storey downtown
Windsor tower and more, that aim to keep up with the growth these
megaprojects bring.
If you live in Windsor–Essex, drive these roads, or just want to
understand how all these projects connect, this video gives you a
clear, on the ground look at what’s coming in 2026 – and the
questions that still need answers.
January 31 was my 75th Birthday so
meaning I've managed to get through 3/4 of a century.
This month saw me getting blood work
done and also getting an injection in my good eye which is to
preserve my sight as long as possible.
Also made a visit to the British Store
in Chatham to get stocks of Irn Bru, Scotch pies, black pudding and
haggis.
Tried to order up a torch light but
when it arrived it didn't work so ordered another one from a
different maker and that also didn't work. So have tried a
third one and I hope it's third time lucky.
Also ordered up a new electric shaver
as mine has ceased to work.
Am trying some Yogurt as I got it by
accident when getting my grocery order. It came in an extra
box which I hadn't ordered and when contacting the store they said
just to keep it. Also came with 2L 3% milk and a package of fresh
cilantro which I don't actually like so that got thrown out.
I know folk love cilantro but the
first time I tasted it I felt it was like sawdust and when I tried a
little this time it just tasted weird like it was somehow rancid.
Guess my taste buds aren't compatible with this herb.
My new cleaning lady, Annette has been
doing a really good job and frankly is the best cleaner I've ever
had. Her attention to detail is amazing. Hope she'll
come for a long time.
My snow removal guy didn't turn up
this year so a young boy came offering to clear the snow so I agreed
and he did a good job so told him if it needs cleared again he could
come back so guess I'll see if he turns up after the next snow fall.
My Accountant BDO said they're not
doing my books any more as it seems I'm too small to bother with.
Not sure what it says about them or their attitude as I'd been with
them for some 20 years.
