Chapter 1: How is Canada responding to Trump's auto tariffs?
Elbows up Canada, Canada strong, Canada united against the Trump regime as Donald Trump is now saying he's imposing 25% tariffs on automobiles across the world, including Canada. Canada's saying that's a direct attack, Donald. And if you thought the boycott was bad already on what Canada's doing, standing up to the United States, just you wait. We're standing up to the Trump regime.
Canadian Prime Minister. Mark Carney called Trump's auto tariffs, a direct attack on his country. And we're learning facts like this, which we've been talking about on the Midas touch network. Now for several months, we've been predicting this and it's easy to predict things like this.
When you speak to the Canadian people and you see how strong and powerful they are and the resistance that they're leading across the world is to the Trump regime. Air travel between US and Canada drops sharply. Flight bookings between Canada and the US are collapsing, according to airline data provider OAG.
Compared to this time last year, bookings are down 70% every month through the end of September, according to the firm's analysis. Canada is typically the top source of international visitors to the US. Quote, this sharp drop suggests that travelers are holding off on making reservations likely due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the broader trade dispute, OAG says. Can I rephrase that for you?
I think what Canada is doing is saying, hey, Donald, you've declared war on our country. Let us smack you down, you pathetic little weasel, you. We're not visiting your country while the Trump regime continues to say how they want to annex us and conquer us. We're going to stand up Canada strong elbows up. That's what's going down. Use the right language.
Isn't just a trade war that Donald Trump has declared. He's declared an actual war on Canada and the people of Canada and the people of Canada have stood up. Put Donald Trump in his place. I'm loving, by the way, the Reddit message boards of Canadians sharing their stories like this. Not going to lie, I'm living for the pettiness here.
It warms my cold, dark heart to see all the American products sitting on the shelves and being donated to the food banks. Viva la Canada. Canada's boycott against anything U.S. going strong. Canada's boycott on U.S. tourism going strong at all Canadian grocery stores and shops in general. They have the Buy Canada label. And if it ain't Buy Canada, they ain't.
buying it and good for them seeing the elbows up chocolate right here people sharing their Costco runs Costco run zero US product super premium plus cold brew coffee Chapman's ice cream Made in Canada. This headline from the Globe and Mail we see repeated throughout various media organizations. Buy Canadian movement starts to take a sizable bite out of the U.S. business.
People sharing stories like this in Canada. More cancellations. Just spent the morning with my travel agent changing travel plans. We were initially going to visit friends in Phoenix, Arizona. But under their recommendation, we decided to change it to Mexico. The travel agent said they've seen more than a 50% cancellation rate of their U.S. bookings, including bus tours to the States.

Chapter 2: What is the impact of Trump's tariffs on US-Canada travel?
Powerful stuff. I got to get Charlie back on and ask him about this. Great work, Charlie Angus. Great work to all the protesters out there. We see you all. We're grateful for you. We here stand in solidarity with you. And I want to show you this moment at the recent hearing in the Senate where Senator Heinrich from New Mexico, Democratic senator.
he does a great job questioning Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, or for her it's unintelligence, or what, just giving our secrets away to foreign adversaries at this point, I mean, based on their reckless sloppiness and dangerousness.
But here in this questioning, the senator's like, I noticed in your recent report when you were saying about the dangers of fentanyl, you didn't mention that Canada was involved in any dangers by giving fentanyl. So how do you square that with all of Donald Trump's lies? Why wouldn't you put that in your report? Oh, because it's a lie. It's a Putin style lie.
It's when Putin says denazification to conquer Ukraine or to try to take it over and unlawfully invade a sovereign territory. This is Donald Trump's version of denazification. Oh, they're killing everybody with fentanyl. You know, Trump learns from Putin. I mean, but you know, he takes his orders from daddy Putin. And Daddy Elon, take a look at what went down here. Play this clip.
I want to ask you, Director Gabbard, something on a very different track here, which is I very much agree with the conclusion of the ATA that foreign illicit drug actors are a major threat in the United States. And many of you have spoken to this today. Is the IC wrong in its omission of Canada as a source of illicit fentanyl in the ATA?
I was surprised, given some of the rhetoric, that there is no mention of Canada in the ATA.
Senator, the focus in my opening and the ATA was really to focus on the most extreme threats in that area. And our assessment is that the most extreme threat related to fentanyl continues to come from and through Mexico.
So the president has stated that the fentanyl coming through Canada is massive and actually said it was an unusual and extraordinary threat. And that was the language that was used to justify putting tariffs on Canada. I'm just trying to reconcile those two issues. Is it an unusual and extraordinary threat or is it a minor threat that doesn't even merit consideration?
mention in the annual threat assessment.
