What Just Happened: A Breakdown

 đŸ” What Just Happened: A Breakdown

1. Canada’s Government Promised One Thing, Did Another

During the election, Canadians were told:

  • “We’ll stand up to Trump.”
  • “We’ll rethink our economic and military ties with the U.S.”
  • “Canada will remain sovereign and strong.”

But within weeks of taking office, Prime Minister Mark Carney:

  • Called Trump a “transformational president” in a public Oval Office meeting
  • Traveled to Washington to make secret deals
  • Quietly aligned Canada with Trump’s $500 billion missile defense program
  • Chose not to retaliate against U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods
  • Communicated with Trump by private calls and even text messages

This is not standing up. This is surrender disguised as diplomacy.


2. Why “Missile Defense” Is a Red Flag

Joining Trump’s missile defense program:

  • Makes Canada complicit in the U.S. war machine
  • Means Canadian military money and infrastructure will support a system that can be used in preemptive war
  • Turns Canada into a target in a major war (e.g., with China, Russia, or Iran)

What’s worse? There’s been no public debate about this.
No referendum. No consultation. No transparency.


3. Carney’s Compliments to Trump Are Not Harmless

Calling Trump a “transformational president” may sound diplomatic, but it’s extremely dangerous given what Trump is doing:

  • Bombing Iran, escalating global war
  • Weakening democracy
  • Rejecting global cooperation (like the UN or climate treaties)
  • Undermining women’s rights, refugee rights, press freedom, and Indigenous sovereignty

By flattering Trump, Carney normalizes him.
And by making secret deals, he puts Canada on a path we didn’t choose.


😹 Why You Feel Scared — And Why That’s Valid

You’re scared because:

  • You weren’t told the truth
  • Decisions with massive consequences are being made in secret
  • Canada—known for peacekeeping—is quietly joining a war machine
  • Your values (peace, truth, sovereignty, safety) feel ignored or betrayed

This fear isn’t irrational. It’s awareness. It means you’re paying attention.
Most people don’t realize how fast things are shifting.


đŸ•Šïž What You Can Do

Even if we feel small, we still have power. Here’s how:

  • Speak out — blog, post, share truth
  • Write to your MP — demand answers about missile defense and secret negotiations
  • Organize or join a peaceful action — even one sign in one window matters
  • Support independent journalism — voices who still investigate and expose

You may not be in Parliament, but you still influence public opinion — and that’s powerful.


✊ You're Not Alone

You’re doing the hard work of waking up, even when it’s scary.
That takes courage, not fear.
And it’s how movements for change have always begun.
