In a move that will surely leave Donald Trump clutching his pearls, Canada has officially cut the cord with the United States’ military-industrial complex.
Recent news reports confirm that Prime Minister Mark Carney has not only rejected Trump’s chaotic demands but has also charted a bold new course for Canada’s defense policy—one that puts sovereignty, self-reliance, and European alliances at the forefront.
Yes, Canada just gave Trump the middle finger, and it’s glorious.
Rejecting Trump’s “Golden Dome” Grift
Let’s start with Trump’s latest fever dream: offering Canada a $61 billion missile defense system—dubbed the “Golden Dome”—on one condition. If Canada remained an independent nation, they’d have to foot the bill.
But if they agreed to become America’s 51st state? Oh, well then, the system would be free.
Yes, you read that correctly. Trump tried to sell annexation like it was a Black Friday deal.
Canada’s response? A polite-but-firm “no thanks” followed by an incredibly satisfying declaration from Carney: “Canada is not for sale. Ever.”
Trump’s delusion that Canadians would trade their sovereignty for a coupon code speaks volumes about how little he understands the country.
If anything, Carney’s rejection is only the latest reminder that Canada has no intention of being anyone’s sidekick.
Europe’s $1.25 Trillion Plan: Canada’s New Best Friend
Instead of doubling down on its dependence on the U.S., Canada is pivoting—and fast. Carney announced that Canada is finalizing its entry into ReArm Europe, a $1.25 trillion defense pact aimed at modernizing Europe’s military capabilities.
The goal? To counter Russian aggression, strengthen allied defenses, and, most importantly, free Canada from being tethered to the whims of Washington.
“Seventy-five cents of every Canadian defense dollar goes to the United States,” Carney said during a recent interview on CBC’s Power & Politics. “That’s not smart,” he noted.
And he’s absolutely right. Why should Canada continue bankrolling American companies when European partners are willing to collaborate as equals?
By joining ReArm Europe, Canada will secure a seat at the table with allies who don’t treat partnerships like a hostage negotiation.
A Made-in-Canada Revival
Carney isn’t just breaking free from Trump’s chaos—he’s also reviving Canada’s own defense industry.
One of his boldest moves? Reviewing the $19 billion F-35 fighter jet deal with U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
Sure, Canada already paid for the first 16 jets, but Carney is now exploring alternatives—like Sweden’s Saab Gripen jets.
Why the Gripen? Because they’d be built and maintained in Canada, creating jobs and ensuring that their air force isn’t dependent on U.S. software updates to stay operational.
Think about it: instead of begging Washington for maintenance and upgrades, Canada could finally stand on its own two feet. It’s a win-win for sovereignty and domestic industry.
Taking Control of Arctic Security
Carney’s rejection of U.S. dominance doesn’t stop with fighter jets. He’s also tackling Arctic security—a critical issue as melting ice opens up new threats in the region.
Rather than relying on NORAD, Carney recently announced a $6 billion partnership with Australia to develop a cutting-edge Arctic radar system.
This “over-the-horizon” technology will allow Canada to independently monitor its northern borders, without needing permission—or help—from the U.S.
It’s a direct swipe at Trump’s America and a clear signal that Canada is willing to defend its sovereignty, no matter the cost.
Trump’s Ego Takes a Hit
As you’d expect, Trump didn’t take this well. The former reality-TV-star-turned-president took to Truth Social to rant about Canada’s “betrayal,” claiming (falsely) that Canadians were “considering” his annexation offer.
The truth? Canadians are laughing. Trump’s desperation to keep Canada under his thumb is nothing short of pathetic.
Meanwhile, Carney is too busy building a stronger, more independent Canada to even bother entertaining Trump’s nonsense.
Canada’s New Era of Independence
Carney’s decisions mark a major turning point in Canada’s history—one where the country is no longer content to play second fiddle to the United States.
By joining ReArm Europe, investing in Arctic security, and reviving its domestic defense industry, Canada is proving that it can stand on its own, without American interference.
This isn’t just about rejecting Trump’s chaos. It’s about charting a new course for the future—one where Canada leads with confidence, independence, and a clear vision for its place in the world.
So, to Trump and his “Golden Dome” delusions, Canada has one message: thanks, but no thanks.
Support fearless, independent journalism that gets into “good trouble, necessary trouble” by holding power accountable through your decision to subscribe.
Stay strong,
