Mark Carney claims it’s "1938 in Canada," invoking the specter of World War II. Meanwhile, Chrystia Freeland openly suggests that Trump’s tariffs justify forming a nuclear alliance with the UK and France against America. But Trump is not the real threat. The same people conditioning Canadians to equate economic pain with patriotism have spent a decade eroding national sovereignty and dismantling the economy in service of an international socialist order led by China....
