Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trudeau actually cited the French’s ketchup alternative as an example of how Canadians might combat Trump’s tariffs. “Canadian consumers have alternatives to having to spend tariffs on American imports. It’s part of how we make sure Canadians don’t bear undue costs around tariffs.”

Trudeau policies undermine Canada’s ability to endure threatened Trump tariffs

Going head-to-head with our best customer isn’t good business or good diplomacy

Remember when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there was “no business case” for building a pipeline, refinery and marine terminal to take Canadian LNG (liquefied natural gas) to Germany? And later he said the same about LNG to Japan?Imagine if Canada had two LNG ports now, one on the East Coast to take gas to Europe and another on the West Coast to take more to Asian markets. The pain of any U.S. tariffs would be lessened.
And imagine if Trudeau hadn’t killed two oil pipelines — Northern Gateway and Energy East. Those could have taken Alberta oil to markets other than the U.S. If those pipelines already existed, then if Trump decides to make our oil so expense U.S. refineries don’t want to buy it, Canada would already have options.And if Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault, the high priest of Trudeau’s eco-cult, hadn’t banned tankers full of Alberta oil from sailing off the West Coast, and hadn’t killed more than $300 billion in new convention oil and oilsands developments, perhaps we’d have more international markets and thus more flexibility in dealing with the Americans.But because Trudeau, Guilbeault and the rest of the Liberals have done all they could in the past decade to sacrifice Canada’s energy industry on the altar of environmental extremism, 97 per cent of our oil exports now go to the U.S. So (no pun intended), Trump has us over a barrel. We have few good options to shelter Canada’s economy and standard of living from punitive American sanctions.

Of course, U.S. President Donald Trump is a bully who’s trying to take advantage of our weaknesses. But who made us so weak and vulnerable in the first place?

The Trudeau Liberals.

In addition to making us wholly dependent on American energy markets, their regulations, taxes and policies have lowered Canadian productivity drastically. They have slowed our economic growth until it is practically nonexistent.

Inflation, caused by their overspending, has made the cost of necessities soar and badly damaged our standard of living. Their insane immigration policies have lowered our per capital GDP for nearly three years in a row, while at the same time spiking housing prices and overburdening our health-care system.

And their signature policy — the carbon tax — has simply made life more expensive while doing little or nothing to reduce emissions.

Now, after all this Liberal-caused devastation, what is Trudeau’s response to Trump’s threat of 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods? Buy French’s ketchup! French’s is made with Ontario tomatoes. Heinz uses American ones.

Until/unless a large majority of Canadians wise up big time and decide to kick this cabal of anti-Canadian betrayers of our forefathers gift to us all politicians out of office and into oblivion our wealthy, beautiful, graced with unimaginable opportunity country will continue to swirl down the drain of poverty, internal strife and worldly insignificance. Primarily to the denizens of Quebec (with Ontario runners up)……..start paying attention.

“Canada really is a fundamentally rich country that has chosen not to act like one for 10 years,” says political theorist David Polansky.

If you ask the average Canadian — “Are you ashamed that you’re an oil and gas giant and have all these incredible minerals?” — the answer is no. But it’s a sentiment that’s dominant among the governing class, David asserts, and “that governing class is not very representative.”

Trudeau has done more across the board damage (you name it he’s royally screwed it up) to Canada to make any foreign economic adversary green with envy. No business case huh? Kevin has got Trudeau pegged…..
