The Trump regime through the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa sent an official communique that was posted on social media as well that was a fact sheet. And it said, monitoring Canadian activities in U.S. politics. and it calls out Canada in very vicious and ugly terms, accusing Canada of interfering with the midterm elections. Then when you look at what's listed, it's Canada defending itself from the Trump regime's trade war against Canada, which Donald Trump and the snowflakes in the Trump regime are saying, you're interfering with the elections by responding to our trade war. You don't get to respond to the trade war that we initiated against you.

We just get to say 51st state and we try to help a separatist move in Alberta, which backfired in the Trump regime's face. Donald Trump does everything he can to try to inflict pain and suffering in Canada. But Canada thrives while the U.S. winds. Canada thrives while the Trump regime cries. That's what's going on with this ridiculous fact sheet. Fact sheet. This is real.

Facts. This is what they put out. I mean, everything they say is fake, but this is an actual fact sheet from the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa. How freaking embarrassing. Monitoring Canadian activities in U.S. politics for immediate release, October 21st, 2026. And here's examples that they give. They said, like, Minister Melanie Jolie, she met with Democratic officials in Boston and Chicago in September, 26. During these meetings, Minister Jolie discussed tarry. and stated that Canada would impose targeted tariffs if Democrats win in key states. Minister Jolie on August 25, 26, and Canada would target products from specific U.S. states for maximum political pressure. Canada, you just have to see, you know, Donald Trump's a predator. You just have to sit back and take it from the predator. No, Trump, you are a sicko. And Canada's gone elbows up and the maple mitus are showing you what real national pride and

identity looks like Canada's strong. So Prime Minister Carney held a press conference after, I mean, this is just humiliate. I mean, the humiliation ritual that Trump puts the United States through. And every person at that embassy, I mean, you know Pete Hoekstra. I mean, he's the ambassador. He's a vile, putrid piece of trash. The U.S. ambassador to Canada. What a vile thing that thing is. I don't even how to describe that ugly, grotesque creature. But, you know, he's I mean, he hates Canada, and Canada absolutely hates that predator, that evil human being. But just think about the other people who are in the embassy who work there. They have to be affiliated with this mega filth.

It's disgusting. Prime Minister Carney held a press conference, and he said, so Donald Trump and I spoke, and notice he's just laughing. Like, he's laughing at, you know, while Donald Trump's giving speeches about men's asses and how much Trump loves men's asses. That's all Trump wants to talk about firm, firm men's asses, what he talks about. Prime Minister Carney's running laps around the United States right now, creating a free trade relationship with 1.5 billion people across the world. He's becoming and he's become the leader of the free world. Watch him. He's next to Doug Ford.

It is a big deal, too, when you think about it, because you've got the Prime Minister of Canada at the federal level liberal party, then you have at the provincial level, premier, from Ontario, Doug Ford, who once upon a time, 10 years ago, eight years ago during the first Trump term, was a maple MAGA. But watch what Carney says. Let's play it. I spoke to President Trump this morning for quite some time. As I said in my remarks, we're ready to sit down and negotiate when the U.S. is, but a deal that's in the interests of Canadians. And you see very much in what we're talking about today, some of the most important sectors that would have to be part of that deal.

Here's what Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario says here, play this clip. As we stand here today, it's clear that Canada's relationship with the United States has changed permanently. No matter what happens in the midterms, no matter who sits. in the White House, we're not going back to the way things were, and we need to plan accordingly. More from Prime Minister Carney here responding to U.S. allegations of election interference, let's play it. Minutes before the press conference, the U.S. Embassy sent out a fact sheet that outlined a number

of actions and comments that Canadian politicians made. Premier Ford, you were involved in Mr. Melanie Jolie. There were a number of comments from both of you. But to the Prime Minister or the Premier, was the intention of your previous actions by either of your governments or your comments, an attempt to try and implement? influence American voters? Look, the United States initiated these trade actions, a series of trade actions. We have responded to those to protect Canadian jobs, protect Canadian companies, and to develop

our economy. And let's be absolutely clear what has been the consequence of that. The consequence of that is we're growing jobs at twice the rate of the United States. We're growing faster in the United States. We're getting foreign direct investment at twice the rate of the United States. Yes, we have big structural challenges, some in the steel industry, some in the auto sector. And we're addressing those together as partners. It's going to take some time to have that full response.

But all of our actions are in the interests of Canadian workers, Canadian families, and the future of this economy. That's the alpha to the omega of what we're doing and how we describe them. More from Prime Minister Carney here saying, look, we're open to negotiate if it's fair. We're not going to do a bad deal because Donald Trump has temper tantrum. Here, play this clip. Ontario builds more than one million vehicles every year. And we're among the best. The Toyota Canada plan is now the most decorated auto plant in the world.

And for decades, there's been no greater symbol of how closely the Canadian and American economies have been intertwined than the automobile. The average car is built from parts that travel across our border up to eight times. But in the past year, 18 months, Canada's auto exports to the U.S. have declined by more than 10 percent. U.S. exports to Canada have fallen by over 20 percent, even though Canada is still far and away the United States' largest customer. Nobody wins from this.

Tariffs make both our industries weaker and reduced choice for our families. And that's why Canada remains ready to negotiate a fair deal when the U.S. is ready to sit down in good faith. More from Carney over here who says that we have the strongest position in the G7. Let's play it. We have the strongest fiscal position in the G7. We have arguably the strongest fiscal position of any major, certainly of any major economy, member of the OECD. That will be absolutely clear on November 5th when we release the budget. And why do we have the strongest fiscal position in the G7?

It's been work over previous years. It's hard work of Canadians, and the credit goes to the Canadian people, and the fact that the Canadian people expect that of their governments. But you will see tough decisions that this government has taken. Last year's budget, this upcoming budget, I won't preview the budget. But just keep in mind that the growth of program spending was running at 8% a year for almost a decade. We brought it down to 2%. We're very clear about how we use our scarce fiscal taxpayer dollars.

That's what they are, taxpayer dollars. And that is a focus on affordability and growing this economy. Capital investment is going to grow this economy. What you've seen today is the province of Ontario, who is also disciplined. We've got the ministers of finance standing right here, also discipline, but a focus on where they're going to use their resources, where we're going to use our resources. It's in those industries. where the businesses are going to invest for the future, preserve jobs, but also grow jobs for the future.

And that's the discipline. More from Prime Minister Carney here. I'm talking more about that phone call with Trump. What did you and the president discuss this morning? We discussed a wide range of things, a wide range of issues, the situation in Iran. We talked a few days ago about Ukraine and. and those aspects there. We talked about other aspects in the Middle East. And we did address some of the issues around trade. Prime Minister Carney over here talks about an integrated North American

auto sector, which Trump doesn't want. Let's play this clip. An integrated North American auto sector will be stronger, more competitive, and provide better jobs. But we recognize that these are not necessarily the current objectives of the U.S. administration. Their approach has changed and so must ours. How about over here what Tim Powers has to say when he was chatting about this this morning, play this clip. This must be very embarrassing for a lot of the embassy staff. They aren't the Republican Party. And here this document today came out from state.gov from somebody in the Washington embassy acting as a wing of the Republican Party. It's desperation. And it's a really bad just the facts. And Shannon, who is the only elected politician,

former elected a politician among us, will appreciate that when you're alleging illegal voting in America by Canadians and you have the example of 11 people over 12 years. That couldn't even change the outcome of the dog catcher election for the U.S. ambassador. I mean, it was, well, it's pathetic, David, and it speaks to the desperation and the desire to change the channel. Or how about Shannon Phillips when she was on one of these shows on CBC? Here, play this clip. Well, this is a group of people, by which I mean the GOP. They're about to have their posteriors handed to them in the midterms,

and they are flailing about in every which way. And that's what I see here. I'm also seeing a bit of an attempt to really target Melanie Jolie. This is an administration that the only corrupt grift that they've fired so far have been women. And they like to have a woman enemy. They don't have Christian Freeland anymore. So now I guess they'll find Melanie Jolie.

The government of Canada is just doing normal things with its response to the trade war and normal things through this midterm election. But I'm not surprised that the United States interprets normal things as being somehow nefarious because they see everything through a lens of really grievance politics and not really being members of the reality-based community.

So here we are. I can expect more of this, I think, between now and November 3rd, because they really are flailing about. They really are unpopular, and they really do need somebody to blame. Or how about Cheryl Evelyn? Here's what she has to say, let's play it. This is legitimate advocacy. This isn't a covert operation.

And the fact that you were also bringing up things that have happened over a year ago to say that this is interfering in, in the U.S. midterms, which are happening next month. I mean, I know that the U.S. election cycles and campaign cycles are intennibly long, but to cite something from, say, you know, March 2025 and say that this is election interference, I think, is a bit of a reach. But it is, you know, but as you pointed out, the U.S. is fond of calling people out for things that they, themselves, are guilty of doing just to deflect the blame.

Or what about Amanda Alvaro? here's what she says, let's play it. It's totally and completely absurd. Obviously, all of us recognize that when we read it. There's a huge difference between defending our economic interests and engaging in any kind of election interference. I mean, Canada has every right to defend its workers, its businesses, its jobs. That's called political pressure.

It's also called diplomacy. When our, when American tariffs hurt our economy, making the case to American governors, making the case to American congressmen, this is a critical part of the job of diplomacy is to make the case. So it was just completely and obviously and transparently about the midterms and their fear and their worries. And frankly, I think that boys a lot of us because we're like, well, good. I'm glad they're a little afraid and that the public pressure campaign is actually working. It's made. making its way to the ears of the people who actually need to hear it, to the decision makers

who are ultimately going to make the decision on whether they want this trade war to continue. So if anything, it just continued to make the case that the pressure campaign that the Canadian government has executed is effective. It's working. It may take time, but we're getting there and the midterms are helping the cause. There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. up Canada to all the maple mitus out there we're so grateful for you one of our whole chapters is
