IT'S HAPPENING: Canada's $4.7B Power Move Wins as Carney CALLS OUT Trump's Lies

IT'S HAPPENING: Canada's $4.7B Power Move Wins as Mark Carney CALLS OUT Trump's Lies. Canada News Today: Mark Carney's $4.7B VIA Rail deal for 313 cars built in Thunder Bay, exposes Trump's lies as work once done in the United States will now be made here at home in Canada. For the first time in four decades VIA cars will be produced and assembled entirely in Canada, replacing a 70-year-old fleet. As Donald Trump warned on Truth Social to Just Watch until Canada's economy collapses and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed Canada walked away for politics, Carney hit back that appointed, unelected cabinet members in the United States are not experts on Canadian politics and told Washington to stop doing memes and stop throwing shade. Canada is building the workshop at home and reducing leverage that can be squeezed through one border.
