Jordan Peterson ripped into President Trump’s trade war with Canada, warning that harsh tariffs are backfiring by making new Prime Minister Mark Carney more powerful. Peterson slammed Carney as a globalist elitist who’s using Trump’s tough tactics to push big government policies. He argued that attacking Canada just helps Carney sell his left-wing agenda to voters.
Peterson said Carney’s slick talk about “protecting Canada” from Trump is a scam to grab more control over people’s lives. The tariffs let Carney play the victim while sneaking in high taxes and climate rules. Instead of standing up to American bullying, he’s using it as an excuse to grow bureaucracy.
Trump’s trade moves are uniting Canadians behind Carney’s liberal machine, according to Peterson. He warned that conservatives are losing ground as Carney paints himself as Canada’s defender against mean American policies. The prime minister’s “crisis manager” act is just cover for trampling freedoms.
Peterson called Carney a dangerous radical pretending to be moderate. He pointed to Carney’s work with the UN and foreign banks as proof he hates real Canadian values. The new PM wants to replace hard work with handouts and patriotism with globalist nonsense.
The tariffs aren’t hurting elites like Carney, Peterson said—they’re crushing regular folks. While Carney jets to fancy climate summits, farmers and truckers pay the price. Trump’s trade war is pounding the little guy instead of the woke politicians.
Peterson urged conservatives to wake up before Carney turns Canada into a socialist testing ground. He said Trudeau started the rot, but Carney’s smarter and more ruthless. If patriots don’t push back now, Canada’s soul could be lost forever.
The real threat isn’t Trump’s tariffs, Peterson argued—it’s Carney using them to silence dissent. Anyone who questions climate alarmism or open borders gets smeared as “un-Canadian.” Free speech dies while Carney’s media pals cheer.
Peterson ended with a rallying cry: true Canadians must reject Carney’s fake patriotism and fight for their country. Letting coastal elites run everything destroys communities and steals kids’ futures. It’s time to take Canada back from the UN-loving globalists.
