The Trump Tariffs and Canada’s History as a Trading Nation

Canada has to decide whether we want to be compatible with United States in our politics and our culture, or insist on moving away from the common North American culture.
Canada has always been of two minds in that regard And sometimes as attempted to isolate the economy and at other times is attempted to integrate.
In recent years the countries drew closer together but after 2016 there has been a divergence that is becoming increasingly apparent. Both countries have been subjected corruption and treason within high offices but the United States is turning away from the creeping coup underway in both countries.
Canada has doubled down on permitting the Global takeover and can't figure out why our old friend has turned a cold shoulder.
The US is sobering up and becoming very concerned about Canadian lawlessness in government and on the streets.

That's roughly how much rare earth material goes into a single F-35. A Virginia-class submarine needs about ten times that.

Now ask the question nobody in Washington wants to answer out loud: who controls the supply? The chokehold, metal by metal.

NdPr. Neodymium-praseodymium oxide is the heart of the super-magnet.

China controls about 90% of rare earth processing and 93% of magnet manufacturing. America has exactly one rare earth mine, Mountain Pass.

And Beijing has shown the leash. Export controls in April 2025. A harsher second wave in October 2025. That sec
