Canada looms over Lance Thrailkill’s office as a dead, stuffed bird.
Mounted above the Texas manufacturer’s desk, a Canada goose, flanked by a mallard and four deer heads, fixes a glassy stare on the room. An open bottle of rye whiskey sits on the floor below.
It is a fitting backdrop for a conversation about another Canadian presence hanging over Thrailkill’s business: the escalating trade war between Washington and Ottawa.
At All Metals Fabricating, the third-generation family company he runs near Dallas, the price Thrailkill pays for aluminum has risen 84 per cent since tariffs were first introduced by the US in March 2025, he says. In 2026 alone, it’s up 40 per cent, he says.
But for Thrailkill, the financial pain has not become a political liability – at least not enough to change his vote.
“Certainly, the inability to get a deal done with Canada affects my … approval rating of Trump,” he says. “But it’s not going to change my vote because of all the other things that align with pro-small business, less taxes.”
That distinction is at the heart of Canada’s political gamble.
In August, after Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of Canadian goods, Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose retaliatory tariffs on products from eight politically pivotal states, including Texas.
“Products from these states should face the full force of Canada’s response,” Ford wrote in a letter dated Aug. 17, days before trade talks between the two countries collapsed. The following day, Carney announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs.
But Canada’s retaliation is only one part of a much broader tariff fight. With the midterms approaching, the bigger question is whether tariffs are becoming a political headwind for Trump – and whether Canada’s economic pressure will translate into votes against him at the ballot box on Nov. 3.
With control of Congress being fought over in a narrow field of competitive races, even small shifts in voter sentiment could matter: Cook Political Report currently rates seven Senate contests and 21 House races as toss-ups, including Senate races in Texas.
Dallas offered a rare opportunity to test that political calculus.
Last week, Republicans gathered there for the party’s first midterm convention, hoping to rally supporters ahead of November. Yet inside the arena, a trade war that has overwhelmed political debate in Canada barely registered.
Several Texans and Republican voters interviewed by Global inside the American Airlines Center were only vaguely familiar with the dispute with Canada. Those who were aware of it often repeated Trump’s broader argument that other countries had taken advantage of the US, even as they acknowledged frustration with tariffs, prices, or Trump himself. When asked about tariffs, some answered they believed America had been too generous to the rest of the world.
Canada, in other words, was less a major topic of conversation than a bit character in a much larger political grievance.
GOP members, however, were quick to defend the US president.
Asked whether going into the midterms amid a trade war and a conflict with Iran was wise, he replied: “No, that’s probably not the best recipe.” He nevertheless argued that Republican voters would reward Trump for being willing to fight on their behalf.
Texas might seem like fertile ground for that political risk to play out. Its economy is deeply tied to Canada, yet the relationship barely registers with many voters.
Texas and Canada exchanged nearly US$69 billion in goods in 2025, while 830 Canadian-owned businesses employ more than 104,000 Texans. Plastics, computers, trucks and aircraft move north; Canadian automobiles, engines, aluminum and vehicle parts move south; and crude petroleum travels in both directions.
Those economic ties create the potential for political pressure. Republicans have dominated statewide politics for three decades, but this year’s US Senate race is unusually competitive, with Democrat James Talarico narrowly leading Republican Ken Paxton in several recent polls.
Trump’s popularity is waning, too.
An Ipsos poll conducted after Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed found 57 per cent of Americans opposed additional tariffs on Canada.
Trump’s own approval rating remains low — about 35 per cent, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, barely above a recent second-term low of 33 per cent. Tracking from public opinion research firm Civiqs found his net approval had also declined in seven of the eight states Ford urged Ottawa to target.
Get daily National news
There are signs, then, of political vulnerability for Trump, but Canada is an unlikely culprit.
“The size of the Canadian economy is just not large enough to engage in a full-blown trade war with the United States for very long,” says Dawson. “And it’s small business that gets hit first by that.”
Canada may be able to make Americans pay for the trade war. The harder question is whether Trump will be stuck with the political cheque.
Economic pain, political loyalty
The economic consequences of the confrontation are easier to identify.
After Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed on Aug. 21, Ottawa escalated its response, imposing retaliatory tariffs on roughly $28 billion worth of U.S. goods.
It is unclear whether Ford’s proposed targets influenced Ottawa’s 648-item list. But the measures, which took effect Sept. 8, covered steel and aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, plastics and electronics – industries with a significant presence in several of the states he named.
That day, when Global News visited Thrailkill at his workshop, he was once again requoting customers as retaliatory tariffs pushed costs higher.
“We’re having to requote every job trying to get in front of it. It’s going up every week,” he said.
About a third of his orders involve aluminum. They buy through distributors supplied by mills, many of which source from Canada, meaning tariff costs can compound as they move through the supply chain.
While he supports Trump’s “overall vision” on trade, he says his business is being negatively affected. He also criticizes the president, saying the way he talks to people is “wrong.”
But he still plans to vote Republican.
“He actually does what he says he’s going to do. And like it or not, that’s more than you can say about most political people,” says Thrailkill.
That refrain came up repeatedly.
Every Trump voter Global News spoke with applauded his perceived follow-through, and often echoed his argument that the US has carried an unfair burden in global trade.
“He’s saying everybody’s been taking advantage of the US all these years and I’m putting a stop to it – we’re not going to subsidy this country and that,” AirTractor CEO Jim Hirsch told Global News at an Olive Garden outside Dallas.
His company imports engines from Canada, though it is exempt from tariffs.
“If we had to pay 25 per cent on the engines, it would be hurting us really hard,” Hirsch said, acknowledging that direct exposure could change some voters’ minds.
But a clearer example of a company caught in the crosshairs of the trade fight sits in a nearby small town.
American jobs in the crossfire
As Republicans converged on the city, Trump threatened to ban sales of Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier in the U.S. unless it moved production there.
Bombardier responded by pointing out that major components of its aircraft are already produced in the US.
In fact, its facility in Red Oak, a town of about 20,000 people about 30 kilometres south of Dallas, employs 440 full-time Texas workers and a network of specialized contractors to manufacture jet wings.
Red Oak Mayor Mark Stanfill told Global News the factory has a “significant, tangible impact” on the community and local economy.
Stanfill said he appreciated Trump’s efforts to bring more manufacturing and investment to the US, but said Red Oak’s Bombardier operation is “an example of exactly that.” Similarly, in Wichita, Kansas, where Bombardier has its U.S. headquarters, Mayor Lily Wu has also spoken out to protect local jobs.
But both stopped short of criticizing Trump.
That reluctance illustrates the limits of turning economic exposure into political pressure. Canada also enters the fight from a weaker economic position.
“Canada has more to lose. I mean, it’s the Canadian exports of major commodities that would be hurt first,” Dawson says. “Texas is a large economy. It’s got a lot of absorptive capacity. It’s got a lot of options from other places. So it would be Canada that gets hit first.”
And just a few kilometers away in Dallas, Republicans showed little sign of treating the dispute with Canada as an electoral threat.
Republicans stand by the trade fight
Most Republican officials Global News spoke with cast the trade fight as a test of American resolve rather than a political liability.
US Rep. Randy Weber of Texas acknowledged the stakes for trade-dependent parts of his state. His district has seven ports, he said, and trade and exports are “hugely big.” Tariff policy therefore had to be “reasonable” and “calculated.”
But he expected little political damage for Trump.
“I don’t think it will lose him a lot of popularity,” Weber said, adding that some voters could instead see the confrontation as proof Trump was willing to stand up to other countries.
Illinois Rep. Mike Bost similarly argued that Ottawa would “lose more in this tariff fight than we are,” warning that continued Canadian retaliation would be “tougher on you all in Canada.”
Others were more willing to accept the costs.
Patti Lyman, Republican National Committeewoman for Virginia, said the United States had spent too long giving other countries “a free ride.” If the escalation continued, she said, “let’s see in the end who needs whose market the most.”
Higher costs, she suggested, were a price worth paying.
“Everyone will have to take a bit of a haircut.”
Republican congressional candidate Jay Feely was more blunt: “Canada needs us way more than we need Canada.”
Other elected Republicans showed little appetite to discuss the Canada dispute at all. Global News contacted 25 Republican senators and members of Congress about the trade war. Just three offices responded; none answered questions.
And Republicans most exposed to the political risks of tariffs weren’t in attendance – many from trade-reliant northern states distancing themselves from both Trump and his agenda.
For others, such as the party faithful in Dallas, the issue was often filtered through something much broader than the price of aluminum or the details of Canadian retaliation: loyalty to Trump and a belief that the United States had been treated unfairly.
Ronny Dudek, from Fort Worth, wore a shirt marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, which fell the following day. Dudek acknowledged that “tariffs hurt people,” but argued that unequal trade had already hurt Americans.
“Yes, we should be nice to our neighbours, but trade wars are trade wars,” he said. “We still love the Canadians. The Canadian people still love us.”
He and his group got free convention tickets through the GOP website the week before. “Trump doesn’t want anyone to miss out,” he said.
Others had only a loose grasp of the Canada dispute.
One convention-goer, dressed in Charlie Kirk-themed attire, said her overriding concern was a “Communist Socialist takeover” and acknowledged that she was unfamiliar with the trade war. Her friend then offered an unverified claim that Canada had been importing Chinese goods and reselling them to evade US. tariffs.
Monique Worthy was more blunt. The transgender former Texas congressional candidate said Canada had been taking advantage of the U.S. “for a long time,” blaming previous presidents for allowing the imbalance to persist.
Of Carney, she said: “You’re talking all this hot sh*t, but we’re the ones securing y’all. If there was no America, there’d be no Canada.” She added that Canada would “probably still be speaking German” without the US.
But that blind loyalty to Trump creates another vulnerability.
A referendum on Trump
For much of the convention’s first day, the American Airlines Center was more than half empty. That changed when Trump arrived: plenty of seats remained, but the arena was suddenly far fuller — and louder.
It had been nicknamed “Trump-a-palooza” for a reason.
In his opening-night speech, Trump repeatedly returned to his own role in the midterm campaign.
“Pretend I’m on the ballot,” he told a cheering crowd.
In Trump’s telling, that makes November a referendum on him and his record — tariffs included.
Yet for all the disruption the trade fight was causing beyond the American Airlines Center, the dispute with Canada barely registered inside. Beyond a jibe about Lake Ontario and an insistence that Canada was “dying” to make a deal, Trump said little about the country even as he repeatedly praised tariffs.
One of his more memorable trade discussions had nothing to do with Canada at all.
Standing inside the Mavericks’ home arena, Trump criticized the team for trading NBA superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, comparing it to Boston’s infamous sale of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees more than a century ago.
“Maybe we could redo that trade,” Trump said, drawing cheers from the crowd.
“I redo deals all the time.”

@Ben
How is that 100% soy and corn diet working out for you?
Canada is that nerd in the school ground trying to stand up to the school bully does not end well
70% this, 55% that, 36 % other, do you fugging inbred commenters REALIZE how stupid you are!?
Might be good for Canadians to admit the idiot leaders that ran theie country into the ground including, Ford, Eby, Leblanc, Freeland, Trudeau, and Carney. Easy to throw stones at others.
The disconnect is in your own making Ben. Have you not heard of a healthy diet consisting of more than just meat and potatoes? See the stats I gave you for Leafy greens and fruit.
@Anonymous at 1107 am. You said Canada imports 70% of its food which was clearly incorrect. Now you backtrack and say we can’t live off potatoes and beef? We import about 60% of our lettuce, yet you would translate this into we import 70% of our food. Not sure where the disconnect is.
Carneys Investment Summit was a total bust. No deals or nothing to show for. Just like his deal with Donald Trump
Maybe the bish gang can take us .
Canadians are down to 2.5 million citizens with valid pal.
Whiny Canadians think the world cares about them. Lol.
Beware of the Bishnoi gang… their 5000 crew are going to take over Canada. You see before they only targeted brown businesses. Cause racism…but bring it on to all the colour’s lol. Come correct.
Weirdo libs think trump is worse than the Cartels. Beware of the pig.
@Mexican – you got Stockholm syndrome. Your fellow citizen and country are being attacked, yet you keep bending over and keep asking Trump to give you more. Gulf of USA.
You commenters are bottom of the barrel, left and right looney losers, you don’t speak or think for any Canadians who actually have a brain in their head, good bye , you are the weakest links
USA can buy from others if Canada despond want to supply. We don’t care regardless as we want more in country manufacturing to sell into our own market. Can can sell its autos to Europe.
@Ben. 10:35 Canada can’t compete globally. Your costs , taxation, regulations are out of control.
We are moving closer to the USA and looking to displace goods from Canada. Canada is irrelevant for the most part.
I really don’t care what Canada does. They can sell to who they want to. I hope Trump moves all car manufacturing in North America back to the USA. Canada can sell its cared elsewhere.
Ben
“Good grief. We produce 70% of our food. We import a large percentage of certain categories of food, yes, but your statement is incorrect.”
We can’t live off of just potatoes and beef. The fact remains that we import 90% of our leafy greens and 75% of our fresh fruit.
@Ben I totally agree with you. Honestly, people are also just poor in mathematics as well. Thrailkill said the price of aluminum has risen 84% due to tariff war on Canada and with the record high prices of gas and diesel and climbing due to the Iranian War caused by President Trump, the cost of living would be astronomical. Since Trump has no way out of the Iranian War (other than surrender which Trump won’t do as billions on ammunition were already spent by Hegsleth), he increases the tariffs which is added tax on the Americans. How can Thrailkill not be able to do the basic math? Wipe that grin off your face, Thrailkill. You are being slowly taxed to death.
Anonymous the village idiot….spewing his vile and idiotic opinions….loser….
@Anonymous. 1021 am. Good grief. We produce 70% of our food. We import a large percentage of certain categories of food, yes, but your statement is incorrect.
@Nancy Kitsco. Trump imposed tariffs on Canada because the US can’t compete with us. We responded. He talked about us becoming the 51st state. Thats why elbows are up. Your country is much lower than Canada on world freedom and democracy indices. Focus on that, building the ballroom and the Mc Donald’s golden arch in Washington.
Greg in mic
Trade works both ways . Canadians are only people in the world that buys US made cars.Last year we bought 300.000 US made pickup trucks alone
More than hole Europe an Japan combined
Hey propaganda.
“We don’t need America but they think we do.”
We import 75 percent of our food, and most of that was historically from the USA.
“We’re stronger than them and we have more resources than them and people like us more.”
Most of our resources are landlocked with eco warriors between them and the pacific. The Liberals history of being anti resource, and pro carbon tax, has weakened that sector.
Those are hard facts. Not partisan issues.
ELBOWS UP BY DESTRYING CANADA, DOING WHAT COC SUCKER CARNEY DOES BEST
I’m sorry, but this is propaganda and most people commenting are American shills. We don’t need America but they think we do. We’re stronger than them and we have more resources than them and people like us more. America can screw itself. We don’t need them. Good luck for the next hundred years while we take power.
Canadians demonizing Trump but forgetting their past PM, Trudeau, got caught in a massive scandal when he sexually fondled a lady reporter at a BC Summer festival and then tried to deny it She “experienced it” differently he stated
I don’t care either Trump is doing a great job. Canada can boycott if they want to and I hope Trump brings all the jobs from the auto sector to the USA. They should not have open acess to our market.
@Anonymous. I don’t care about polling. Carney hasn’t got anything done and Canada has one of the worst economies in the G20. I sure those polling numbers will change if things don’t improve. Also, Trump isn’t running again. He won’t be on the 2028 ticket but GOP will most likely win again as the Democrats are horrible
Didn’t Trudeau have high number for about 2.5yeata?
Many Americans are now boycotting Canada completely because of their Anti-American Elbows Up ideology.
Siena / Sept 13, 2026 – Trump’s Net-Approval On:
Immigration: -12%, Tariffs: -19%, Economy: -21%, Iran: -35%, Cost of Living: -43%
Nanos / Sept 2, 2026 – “Would you rate Mark Carney’s performance in dealing with Donald Trump on trade issues as…”
Good: 73% (+17) Poor: 17% (-5) Average: 9% (-10)
(% Change With Sept 2025)
Canadians sure love blaming American for all their problems. Perhaps leave should look more inwards on why they are so bitter.
Trump didn’t destroy USAs economy, but PM Blackface certainly did up in Canada.
The kinda story that makes you just absolutely hate Yanks more
One guy out there is happy about the circumstances, fight..
The ten guys that lost their job… cannon fodder…
Feel good story. Sticking it to the man…..
Fixes it for you……
Elbozos are way too stupid to vote out Liberalss next election. Not a single one of them is protesting Mark Carney in front of the parliament. That proves that they are all idiots that want him to become their E.U. Dictator for life.
Canada is small potatoes compared to the USA. California alone has the population of Canada. And unlike Canada it produces food all year long and doesn’t need to import 3/4 of its food like we do.
I see the poop-flinging monkeys are out in force.
All these elbozos are the same ones who voted for Mr Socks who went to India and put on fancy dress that the Indian people laughed at, and not to forget, how could we ever forget Mr Blackface, he even videoed himself acting like the moron we all knew he was, except for the elbozos crowd of course, the same rocket scientists that drool over Mr Sock’s best bud Marky Carnage who gave Mr Dressup fiscal advice on how to screw Canadians. So all in all most of the Elbozos are not really that bright.
@Jack Sproule Better than Americans who elected a proven child rapist that only got away with it because people like you threatened her with not taking Donald Trump to court. Only in America could a convicted rapist like Donald Trump who has to pay millions to the woman he raped get elected.
The New Africa
@ Jack Sproule – Blackface is nowhere near the same level of antisocial behavior that sexual assault is.
Cut out the stupid whataboutism. It’s ridiculous.
Americans are way too stupid to vote out Republicans in November. Not a single one of them is protesting Donald Trump in front of the White House. That proves that they are all idiots that want him to become their U.S Dictator for life.
@Amused Canadian. Try to not be so pious. Canadians voted 3 times for. a guy who put shoe polish on his face and engaged in racial mockery. Only in Canada would he stay electable.
I’d like to think I’d be a better reporter and write better articles but of course my mental health issues hold me back. Global BC would never hire someone like me but hey at least I can play pretend in the comment section everyday.
Where is all these projects Carney talked about 18 months ago? Not one has broken ground or even been approved.
This just in, people who voted for a president convicted of sexual assault, one who brags about peeping on underage girls, wont change their vote over something with far less impact.
I just hope when the dust settles, All of the non maga americans hold the maga ones accountable for their votes and cultish behaviour, because mark my words, many of them will come crawling back saying they “didnt really believe all that nonsense anyways.”
Grifter’s gotta grift.
Rubbish reporting. They find one guy make a story out of it and day “Americans” don’t care.
Recent polls down there have a number if 65% or greater disagreeing with the trade war.
@Ken. It was Canada that left the negotiating table, not the USA. Then Clowney decided to be an “associate” member of the EU instead. This was Carneys choice.
if Canadian trade is not important to USA why is Trump making threats about EU talks ?
@Meme. You think all GOP supporters go to the Democrats if they don’t like Trump. You don’t much about America politics obviously. Trump won’t be running in 2028 and a new leader for the GOP will be born.
@Meme. Quite a pathetic post. Trump is making USA better, unlike Carney in Canada. Look at the data.
there are Yankees, the last of Trumps lil kids, just here being themselves, all they have is to try and piss people off, their lives are totally destroyed by Trump already. this, is all they have left. pretty pathetic, but here we are, look at all these wittle Americans, trying to make the Canadians mad. stop letting them. ignore, and move on people.
Anonymous is a village idiot…anonymous comment less, your a simpleton….don’t forget.
A cunadian is the dirt under my boot
Janet Swanson – you’re absolutely correct. I do care. I care about having a good time reading the ignorant and idiotic posts here and poking fun at them. But look at you – you’re commenting too so you also must care. Let’s all thank Global News for giving us this free entertainment opportunity!
G’night all – thanks for the fun!
I don’t care about Canadians or Canada at all.
Canadians seem so bitter. Must be because their economy is doing so poorly under Liberal rule since 2015.
@Stars and Stripes.
Unbelievable how usasians still support the republikkkans as they tanked the ussa economy, made usasians feel guilty of racism they didn’t commit, and froze bank accounts as they poorly managed a mainly peaceful protest. not to mention blowing away innocent civilians by drumps SS stormtroopers
@ Vincent Hanna – I am glad that you moved to the US.
@Anonymous. It is Carney bootlicking China right?
So glad I moved from Canada to the USA back in 2017. My thoughts about the future for the most part have shown true. Canada best days are in the past. Blame the Liberals for that.
Trump would rather be friends with other dictator countries than long time allies. There will be more you’re on yown Trump with conflicts you created. Maybe North Korea and Argentina can send war ship to help you with Iran.
LOL! Texas is the most MAGA state one can be. They eat THE lies anything FOX and the Orange guy says.
Mark Carney is a WIMP and Trump knows it!
He needs to tighten the border with the U.S. and
get more allies like Europe and South America, the E.U.
and China and Japan behind him.
There is power in numbers!
It will take most of the world to defeat Trump and jis buddy Putin.
It needs to get done NOW before too much damage is done!!!
Texas economy is firing on all cylinders meanwhile Canadas is dead last amongst advanced economies in the OECD. Carney promised Canada would have the “best” economy in the G7.
Carneys Investment Summit was a total lead balloon. Most think it won’t bare any fruit and was mainly a partisan Liberal event.
There’s clips in the socials of Carney talking about power projects and doing Trump’s ‘accordion hands’ gesture for laughs.
Trump is a laughing stock and being derided openly. Trump has destroyed the USA’s reputation and made it a mockery.
@Ameican Whine. You obviously care as you keep responding. Lol
Yankee Doodle – you didn’t understand what I wrote and call it word salad – says more about you than me. Let me dumb it down for you: Canada doesn’t care.
Barbara. USA can get resources from other countries then. We are not worried.
This article is not reporting, it’s fear mongering targeted at uninformed people. Shame on you Global News.
cunada educated dummies, hahaha yuckity pluckity hoohaa Bebop haaaahehaaaahe yup yup yup 👍
@gord, go back to Botswana you fugging inbred POS
Well it will be interesting when Canada commits its resources to other countries that want it and respect our country. There is only so much in the marketplace and once Canada signs deals with the EU, Asia and Mexico, they will be gone. If America chooses to ignore that fact, well there is not much Canada can do. Take for example the LNG deal with Germany. Canada has only so much LNG and a lot of it is going to Germany so there is less for America. But remember America needs nothing from Canada.
All the anti Trump rhetoric is meant to manipulate Canadians not Americans
Canadians can’t be that swift. They voted for.PM three times that had put shoe polish on his face and engaged in racial mockery.
To: Yankee Doodle, and others:
If you are too afraid to use your real name in the comments then your opinion is worthless
Some americans are just lost..and a bit dumb…they live in their own little bubble, speaking only one language, driving air polluting cars, not going metric…feel sorry for them…I do. Canada is so much more educated. What a lot of americans are good at though is bragging!
At AH. “My friend” response. You sound so triggered and desperate.
What a moron. Also, nice office you dirty slob
@American Whine. I drink Kentucky Bourbon and your word salad shows how seriously sour those grapes are. Hilarious
Canada irrelevance is really starting to hit home.
Yankee Doodle – not so, my friend…we are neither clutching our pearls nor wringing our hands. We have no need of your grapes, sour or otherwise. Our local wines and alcoholic beverages are delightful and our beer doesn’t taste the same going in as coming out. Canada lives rent free in your president’s head as we work to make alliances with countries that are stable and trustworthy. Enjoy your Jack Daniels because nobody else wants it.
From this comment thread, it is obvious Canadians have sour grapes when it comes to America.
NFL #1 – just saying something doesn’t make it true. If it did work that way, then I’d say that Donald Trump has been impeached and is in jail and it would be true because I said it.
Thanks for showing us that we shouldn’t care what happens to Americans, it seems that they fully back their lunatic for short term gain. “ The devil wins our confidence with trifles only to betray us with direst consequence “
Some individuals like to take it in the ass, and you don’t look like a steer.
NFL #1 – I am sooooo sorry, I didn’t realize that you are the world expert on american football…excuuuuse me.
And just how wealthy are you?
Trump is an amazing President Don’t care if Canadians like him or not.
Ali– refer to previous observations. Trump loves you.
trumpMeister… Your education is showing.
When it comes to Americans, two things come to mind, 1- mental illness is a communicable disease, and 2-, Trump loves the uneducated. 3- Americans can’t count.
@Look in the mirror. Check out the huge difference between NFL and CFL. CFL is total garbage, second rate players and stadiums. America obviously has more wealth and it shows fully.
Sportsman – your gauge of superiority is sports teams??? Your education standards and health care are below substandard, and you’re wrong about your sports teams anyway – your best players are from other countries. You’d better hope that any woman you know doesn’t need extraordinary prenatal care because that won’t happen either in your “superior” country.
Anonymous is a village idiot still
Canadians please don’t think the world will change after the midterms. It won’t for you. Trump will be POTUS till his term is up and the GOP will probably win the WH again in 2028 as the Democrats are totally garbage. Crying on CBC won’t change anything.
It’s true, you can’t change stupid; add greedy to that too. Can’t wait for the post mid-terms whining.
cunada a pimple on an elephant’s azz, hehehe aooooga bloopity bloop, you’re fugging invisible to the world!
Americans don’t need to care about Canada. When will Canadians wake up to the fact that Canada is irrelevant. Perhaps deep down they do know the truth, and that’s where the jealousy and insecurity come from?
Carney wants to blame all the Liberal failed policy choices and missteps on the USA Canadas economy was a dumpster fire when Biden was POTUS. Canada has had one of the worst performing advanced economies since coming out of the pandemic. Liberal failed to have an exit plan.
The USA obviously lives rent free in many Canadians head. This is unhealthy. Unfortunately Carney keeps sending out misinformation to keep his base mesmerized on it for his own cynically gain.
Why is anybody surprised?
Look at Canada?
12 years of a ruinous government and we still “vote” the same party in!
@Fred. Trump will still be POTUS till his term runs out. You are living a fantasy and nothing more.
@Anonymous 12:36PM. Unbelievable how Canadians still support the Liberals as they tanked Canadas economy, made Canadians feel guilty of racism they didn’t commit, and froze bank accounts as they poorly managed a mainly peaceful protest.
@Fred the democrats will not impeach Trump because they have a lot of skeletons in their cupboards do you really believe that some democrats are not in the Epstein files if you do you are a dreamer. They didn’t impeach Trump last time and they won’t this time.
Carney knows he screwed up with his big talk, walking away from the deal and putting on dollar for dollar tariffs on goods from the USA. He is trying to deflect from that mistake by swivelling to the EU which is another mistake as their economies are also in the tank. A recent poll by a major think tank in Europe that asked thousands of EU citizens what they think of the EU and fully 70% said they hate it and want out but the Eu parliament won’t all a referendum on it. The countries most dissatisfied were France, Germany and Italy.
Amanda Voyles absolutely correct. The reason why all the investments go to places where there is conflict like Iraq is because there is less restrictions. Whereas in Canada there are so many restrictions and climate demands as well as approvals from obscure groups needed that no one wants to invest in Canada. So Carney’s big announcements in reality mean nothing and are nothing more than propaganda.
To sportsman…You do realize that the US hockey teams are filled with Canadian players don’t you? If we had a completely Canadian team we would no doubt win back the Stanley Cup. Look at the history of the famous hockey players and where they were from! Check each team and how many Canadians are on them before you condemn !
Unbelievable how people in the US will still support Trump when he has stolen billions from them. Regardless, his legacy is the three Cs, chaos, cruelty and corruption and that is what people stand for if they continue to vote for him. No morals and values seem to enter the picture anymore.

Poor Canada. Most of the USA doesn’t care about you. They have their own priorities to deal with. Carney should do as he promised and get a deal done.
@stars and stripes. Midterms matter. If Democrats win the Senate, they can impeach Trump and his friends. They will release all of Epstein files and uncover the sex scandal, especially the slimy one, Howard Lutnick. The Epstein file is not just about Epstein. It is about how the rich and famous can get away with the raping of women and underaged girls. Imagine if this happened to your daughters.
The Democrats will have power to probe into Trump’s scrupulous scandals like the airplane/ gifts from Saudia Arabia and his family’s inside trading cryptocurrencies, how they get rich scamming off the backs of the hard working Americans. These are the cusps or some of the reasons why Trump wants to win the midterms. He is only doing it for himself, not for the Americans.
Trump – Canada wants a trade deal very badly. Iran wants a peace deal very badly. Putin wants a peace deal very badly. Trump’s White House Game Show has developed a repetitive theme
Gord the same is true in Canada. Seems some will continue to vote Liberal regardless even after the disastrous Trudeau era of 2015-2025 in which Carney was his Economic Advisor.
Trump your time is up..
Indians and Canadians will throw u out of power !! USA is nothing with us!
“But it’s not going to change my vote because of all the other things that align with pro-small business, less taxes.”
However, “Thrailkill pays for aluminum has risen 84 per cent since tariffs were first introduced by the US in March 2025,”
Not a very bright person. 84% rise in cost due to tariffs IS a major tax!
Recently at a game between the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions football teams in Orchard Park, New York the US fans sang the Canadian anthem with gusto. The people of the USA doesn’t notice that the Canadians are jumping up and down pouting because the USA for making trade fair between the USA and Canada
Carneys Investment Summit has been framed as a total nothing burger event, Just theatrics with no results or deals at the end of the two day event.
‘Her friend then offered an unverified claim that Canada had been importing Chinese goods and reselling them to evade US. tariffs.”
As an example, aluminum imported from Canada has been analyzed and the aluminum contains anywhere from 20% to 60% impurities that are only found in China. That sounds verified to me.
@Ben job growth in August 2026, most recent I got.
Canada lost over 40,000 jobs
USA gained over 160,000 jobs.
America is Superior to Canada. Just compare the NFL to the CFL, or how lousy the Blue Jays are doing, or the last time a Canadian Team won a Stanley Cup. Most American born MLB players don’t want to play for the Blue Jays. They are not winners and the taxation rate in Canada is brutal.
Anonymous the village idiot….are your constant comments on every article a scream for help?
@Adriana Lee 1051 am. Maybe you Poilievre conservatives could change your repertoire. The cut and paste is so depressingly banal. Repetitive, droll, and boring. Be creative!
@Wilson D. Per capita, Canada has had more jobs growth under Carney. And economists estimate tariffs cost a middle class family thousand of dollars. So what has Trump done for the middle class family? I agree, he cut taxes for the rich.
Anonymous is a village idiot
Canada has only itself to blame for the position it currently is in. Liberals were poor economic managers as they were to busy on pronouns and extreme gender ideology. Carney was Trudeau’s economic advisor from 2020 -2025. Carney now wants to be an “associate “ EU member so that he can live out his green fantasies that we wrote about in his book “Values”.
“The size of the Canadian economy is just not large enough to engage in a full-blown trade war with the United States for very long,” says Dawson. That encapsulates just how little effect Canada, the mouse that squeaked, has had with its Carney blustering and tariffs. Even though they disagree with Trump the republicans will still vote for him in the midterms. So much for those elbozos who have put all of their eggs into the midterm basket.
I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and feel great about it. I will vote for GOP in 2028 also. Democrats are simply not an option.
Canada is not a concern for me.
Canadians will be crying the blues again if the GOO takes the White House again in 2028. The big babies to the North.
Midterms won’t change much. Trump is still POTUS for another two years and is his Administration. Democrats are are already signalling also that some of the tariffs are hear to stay. USA will do what is right for itself, not for Canada.
Tex is not from Texas.
Russian isp address.
LOL
@Jack” Says whiny Jack.
Why are YOU here hypocrite?
Why does Global keep calling taxes “tariffs?”
Truth be told and what Canadians don’t want to admit is that Trump has done a lot of things that have helped the middle class. Look at the job growth vs Canada For me, is what he has down with the Mexican border. Local issues do matter.
Canadians have an unhealthy obsession about the USA and it is amped up with the CBC and other as mouthpieces for the Liberals. Canadians always like to talk about how “superior” they are versus their neighbors to the South.
So this article shows that most Americans don’t give Canada a second thought. A lot of Canadians are expecting a lot from these midterms but what if they don’t go the way Canadians expected then what. The fact is we need the US more than they need Canada. Canadians don’t want the US telling them what to do but Carney wants Canadians to allow the EU to tell them what to do. What a mess
Ben. I have great healthcare and don’t have to waits months or years to be treated
We still don’t care. It barely registers down here
So die hard republicans (the kind you’d find at that convention) still support Trump’s stupidity? Shocking. Die hard republicans won’t decide the midterms. Moderate republicans and independents will.
Visiting Texas from Alberta, Canada is not news worthy here .

The question of whether your vote is for or against the small business policies of this administration should not even enter the conversation, period. You voted for a facist, lying felon, your lack of decency and morals is the conversation. Mind you I guess this is the American way, only thing that matters is a buck. Pathetic
Canada is irrelevant
@Ed. Sorry that america has a pimple, and can’t afford the medical bill to treat it. Do you want another loan? Your debt is getting up there, it’s 40 trillion now.
Canada is just a pimple on the ass of America
