“Carney moved $4.7 billion of manufacturing out of the United States, switched to a trade deal with Britain, and the European Union is Coming to Canada. This isn’t a divorce, it’s funeral.”
Not so long ago I found this writer, Dean Blundell, on Substack and he writes great, easy and pleasant to read, articles on the US/Canadian economy and the “WARS”…
I don’t see too much about this here and since his articles are free, or with a paid subscription for more, I thought it to be a good idea to bring his work here. He’s really doing great work, really easy to understand and informative!
Give the article the 10 minutes it deserves and find more of his articles on Substack!
Higly recommended!

That was the big play. A 79-year-old man with a Sharpie renaming water he doesn’t own because a country of 41 million people wouldn’t sign a deal at midnight that his own people rewrote at 11:45.Mark Carney’s response was to tell everyone that Ontario comes from the Wendat word for “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big,” and that Canadians will keep calling it what it is. Then he went to Thunder Bay and quietly took nearly five billion dollars out of an American factory.That is the pattern now, and I need you to understand how deliberate it is. Trump does something loud and stupid for the base. Carney does something quiet and expensive for the country. Trump gets a news cycle. Carney gets a contract. One of these things compounds….
We’ll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.
We continue to be paywall-free. We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. But we need to bring in more revenue. We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.
Power matters.
