People voted for this.
I didn't but somebody else did:
A former president of Dairy Farmers of Québec, Daniel Gobeil, last night claimed an upset Liberal win in Chicoutimi on unusually high turnout in a federal byelection, 41.5 percent. Liberals easily held two other safe seats to retain a narrow majority in the Commons: ‘We produce less milk than the state of Wisconsin and without supply management, dairy producers would see their farm gate price drop.
Protect the aging tart that is Quebec at all costs, even if you have to lie to the Americans about caring French.

Taxpayers must wait until a fall budget update for details of costs to households and industry from retaliatory tariffs, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said yesterday. Cabinet detailed a limited $7.5 billion aid package that business groups dismissed as cumbersome and ineffectual: “Is Canada still committed to a fiscal anchor?”

Conservatives yesterday invoked Prime Minister Mark Carney’s misrepresentations over the Gordie Howe International Bridge in demanding he now disclose terms proposed by Canada to avert a continental trade war. Carney secretly agreed to toll concessions as “a good deal for Canada,” then denied the terms and called toll splitting proof of erratic behaviour by Americans: “Transparency is essential.”

So you wanted to shake down the Americans for content you know can't be paid for with Canadian taxes.
A newly-registered Commons petition yesterday challenged Prime Minister Mark Carney to reinstate a $3.7 billion Google tax he suspended 14 months ago as “part of a bigger negotiation” with the United States. Collapse of trade talks cleared the way to revive the tax approved by Parliament, wrote petitioners: “This tax concession has yielded no lasting benefit.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. negotiators held an attitude during trade talks that would have made core Canadian industries — including the automotive sector — either become subsidiaries of their American counterparts or be "wiped out."
I'll just leave this here:
Forty-two percent of Canadian manufacturers have already moved or are planning to move some or all of their production to the United States, according to a new KPMG Canada survey that warns the shift is “enough to reshape capacity and redirect future investment” as the future of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) hangs in the balance.
The survey of 275 manufacturers, conducted May 11–29 through the Angus Reid Group’s business research panel, found 29 percent have already shifted production south and another 13 percent plan to. Among those considering relocation, 77 percent expect to move within two years.
While 80 percent report no plans to move their headquarters, 11 percent expect to relocate their head office to the U.S. within five years—a signal, KPMG says, of where companies expect to anchor leadership, capital, and long-term growth.
Notably, KPMG frames the migration as more than just a defensive reaction to tariffs. Companies are also repositioning for growth—expanding closer to customers, supply chains, and higher-margin opportunities in a stronger U.S. economy bolstered by tax measures and booming AI and data-infrastructure demand. As KPMG chief economist Ali Jaffery puts it in the report, “This isn’t a wholesale exit from Canada,” but a strategic rebalancing of capital toward higher returns.
The sector’s exposure is stark: 86 percent of manufacturers operate beyond Canada, and 61 percent say their business depends on access to the U.S. market.

Canada 🇨🇦 41 million people 🤬 getting absolutely hammered with a carbon tax that drives up the cost of gas, food, heating, and everything else we need to survive.
USA 🇺🇸 340+ million people YET no carbon tax.

It gets worse.
Carney is planning on bilking us after he buys off MPs gets China to cheat for him the next election.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s abrupt reversal on electric car mandates followed in-house federal polling that showed only a third of Canadians supported sales quotas, according to records. Opposition ran hottest west of Ontario including a majority of drivers in British Columbia, where Liberals held 20 seats: “We are making strategic decisions.”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration is “not at war” with Canada, dismissing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s concerns about the ongoing trade rift while also taunting Canada for its lack of military naval power.
In an appearance on CNBC, Bessent laughed off any suggestion that the U.S.-Canada trade dispute amounted to conflict between the two countries, then jokingly asked whether Canada would attack the U.S. with its fleet of defunct submarines that were once part of a West Edmonton Mall tourist attraction.
“We’re not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada? What, are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton mall and sic them on us?”
Bessent, who was responding to Carney’s previous claim that Canada was now “at war” with the U.S. and fighting for its sovereignty, took direct aim at the prime minister in his comments, framing Carney’s posture toward the U.S. as being politically motivated.
The West Edmonton Mall previously had four white and yellow submarines operating at its Deep Sea Adventure ride, which opened in 1985 and took riders through the mall’s aquarium. The ride was closed in 2005 after ridership dwindled. The submarines, which continued to fall off of the tracks they travelled on, were later dismantled in 2012.
Canadian observers had long pointed out that the ride had more operational submarines than the entire Canadian military. The Royal Canadian Navy currently has just four aging submarines in its fleet, each with intensive maintenance schedules that typically keep just one or two operational at a time.

Costs of lawyers’ billable hours on land claims and other Indigenous litigation went up 24 percent after then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau disbanded the old Department of Indian Affairs to create two new departments, figures show. “Roles and responsibilities are not always understood,” wrote auditors.
