Canada’s Carney About to Find Out When You Play Chicken, It’s Best to Be Foghorn Leghorn

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney is a smarmy little globalist banking Davos dandy. The man has been a rolling disaster for our northern neighbor since he was first selected and then elected a little over a year ago.

And, yes – I have a poultry theme going this afternoon, talkin’ about all the irritating cotton-pickin’ chicken pluckers.

Carney spent this past January playing footsie with China, and posing on any world stage that would let him have a microphone for a minute to declare that the old ‘US-led rules-based order was finished’ and Carney’s new broskis in the second-tier seats were ready to rock their New World Order.

It was a bold declaration of independence in friendly territory that only lasted until he, sadly, had to return home to Canada, which is *checks notes* still right next door to the United States.

Carney’s bravado melted like the true Syrupean he is.

Until it didn’t…again.

Back and forth. Bragging that Canada’s going to help make America great again a week after he buys Swedish fighters instead of the American ones that had been under discussion.

This as his country slips into a technical recession, and he is in the middle of a trade war with the Trump administration.

Two things cannot be true at the same time.

Mark Carney stood in the House of Commons on March 25, 2026 and declared:

“Affordability is the best it’s been in over a decade.”

Liberals keep repeating Canada has “the strongest economy in the G7.”

Sure, buddy – keep poking that Orange Man.

Which, to be fair, is why Syrupeans reflexively voted for the twee fellow who’d never run anything but a globalist financial concern in his life. Hell, he hadn’t even lived in Canada for most of it, living in London and such far-off, much more cosmopolitan places.

But vote for Carney Canadians did, and the extended animosity, coupled with Carney’s insistence on playing New World ambassador before the Order has secured control, could very well cost Canadians even more.

🇨🇦 Carney just floated reopening Canada’s embassy in Iran.

Two days ago. Quietly. At a press conference about Venezuelan earthquakes.

His exact words: “Engagement is not endorsement.”

Let’s talk about what he wants to “engage” with. 👇

The Trump administration is allowing the international trade pact known as the USMCA between the US, Mexico, and Canada to expire.

Trump’s not renewing the agreement for another 16-year term, opting instead to go with one-year reviews for the last ten years.

The Trump administration has decided not to renew its trilateral trade pact with Canada and Mexico, instead opting to conduct annual reviews of the treaty that President Donald Trump once called “the best agreement we’ve ever made.”

The widely anticipated decision on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, known as USMCA, was revealed Wednesday, the deadline for the three North American trade partners to determine whether they would renew their agreement for another 16-year term.

The decision means the USMCA will stay in effect for another decade, provided no member tries to withdraw from it. But it also triggers yearly reviews that could result in the renegotiation of major parts of the treaty.

Trump “chose not to rubber stamp a USMCA renewal without addressing existing issues,” a senior administration official told reporters in a call announcing the move.

“In other words, the United States did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form,” the official said. “So, as a result, the USMCA is not renewed.”

Now, there’s also a catch here in the terms of the agreement as it was originally written. While the deal is for sixteen years, if not renewed at this six-year point, it continues for ten years unless any party announces they intend to withdraw. That starts a six-month clock ticking to when the whole thing falls apart, as that country exits.

The Canadians seem to be under the impression that they’re sailing under a rock-solid ten more years of the tenets of this trade agreement, and Carney, in his bluster, hasn’t disabused any of his citizens of that impression.

He’s treating it as no big deal.

Mark Carney isn’t worried about any Canada Day fireworks on the trade front, saying “he’s not expecting any drama” when the US, Canada and Mexico meet tomorrow to decide if they should renew their free trade deal, something Donald Trump has said the US won’t do #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/HkKnILLYFT

When, actually, what he’s managed to do by irritating the United States to the point of a fracture could very well tank his country if Trump throws in the towel.

It is now a maximum-pressure campaign on investment in Canada.

…Reuters finally reported something closer to the truth.  The U.S. will formally declare a “non-extension” of the USMCA trade agreement {ARTICLE} and that triggers a 10-year period to decoupling.  However, it is very important to understand there is a difference between announcing a “non-extension” and announcing a “withdrawal“.  

The Canadians are completely confused about what is about to happen.

In a non-extension announcement, the USA is saying they do not want to extend or renew the terms of the agreement beyond the current trade agreement terms.  Yes, this is a 10-year exit.  However, that’s not the part that matters.  Announcing a decision to exit the USMCA (CUSMA), a full withdrawal from the trilateral deal, triggers a six-month countdown to exit.

Put simply, announcing a non-renewal is a 10-year exit.  Announcing a withdrawal is a 6-month exit.  The announcement to withdraw can come at any time after the statement of non-renewal.

The most likely scenario is Trump/Greer first say the USA is not renewing (not extending).  Then, at a later date determined by them -in my opinion it will be after the U.S-Mexico agreement is finished- Trump and Greer will then announce the withdrawal, which will trigger the 6-month countdown to exit.

There is no rush to announce the withdrawal; the only immediate action is to announce a USMCA renewal is not happening.

This scenario puts maximum pressure on Canada.  As soon as President Trump says the USA will not extend the agreement, all investment into Canada becomes extremely tenuous.  

Trump wants those trade deficits with our two neighbors to be brought more in line and doesn’t feel the USMCA has accomplished that to the benefit of the US.

…According to the Trade Representative’s office, the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico was nearly $197 billion in 2025, while the trade gap with Canada was over $46 billion.

U.S. officials are scheduled to meet with Mexico represenatatives the week of July 20 for another round of bilateral negotiations. During those talks, the two countries will discuss rules of origin, intellectual property and concerns surrounding Mexico’s compliance with labor obligations, the senior administration official said.

The official did not discuss specific plans to meet with Canada, but said, “We will continue our discussions with our Canadian partners.”

And a US withdrawal would only hurt the other two trade partners…

…”Absent bilateral deals, growth would slow in both Canada and Mexico as the tariff exemption, which has kept both countries’ external sectors afloat over the past year, was removed,” economists with investment advisory firm Capital Economics said in a report.

…neither of which can afford it, whatever the posturing they’d like to do.

They got a recession with inflation and no gdp. To be honest, that is a pretty impressive accomplishment. Most economists didn’t even think it was possible. pic.twitter.com/xYDNi0KLf3

Carney’s been playing a game of chicken for the past year, but, like the old cartoon, you have to be Foghorn Leghorn in the yard, not the Chickenhawk.

Trump has no problem telling someone as fickle and unsteady as Carney, ‘Go away, boy.’ 

 

‘You bother me.’
