Why Canada is Resorting to Political Theater to Stop Tariffs

Описание: In this deep dive into the current state of North American geopolitics, we analyze the growing friction between Canada and the United States. From Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s bombastic "Reagan-style" ad campaign to the pained restraint of institutionalists like Mark Carney, the rules of the game have changed.

Are we witnessing the collapse of the Western Liberal order? We explore the reality of Section 232 tariffs, the rise of neo-mercantilism in the US Republican party, and why provincial leaders are now conducting their own "shadow diplomacy." This isn't just about trade—it's a story of bureaucratic violence, economic sovereignty, and the survival of the Canadian economy.

In this video, we cover:

The exaggerated math of political ads and the currency of attention.

Why Ronald Reagan’s ghost is being summoned to fight modern protectionism.

The "Good Cop, Bad Cop" dynamic between Doug Ford and the federal government.

How integrated supply chains in the auto and steel sectors are being used as cultural weapons.

The risk of a "Divide and Conquer" strategy by Washington against Canadian provinces.
