SubstackWayne Horton on SubstackThe End and the Beginning: Carney Just Set Canada on a New Course This wasn’t a meeting. It was a funeral. Carney stood at the White House and, with the calm precision of a central banker and the moral clarity of a statesman, issued the eulogy for what used to be Canada-U.S. relations. Not a spat. Not a cold patch. The end. He didn’t rage. He didn’t posture. He simply told the truth: there is no relationship anymore. What exists now is an open question. One that will only be answered if the U.S. proves it’s capable of mutual respect—not intimidation. Trump, true to form, offered tax breaks in exchange for our sovereignty, as if Canada were a down-market real estate deal he could flip for profit. Carney, unfazed, replied with the line that may define this era: “Canada is not for sale.” That phrase wasn’t just a rebuttal—it was a reset. The beginning. Because here’s the truth: you don’t renegotiate a relationship that’s intact. You only start over when the old one has been burned down. And Carney made clear that Trump lit the match. Tariffs. Threats. Fantasies of annexation. These aren’t the actions of an ally. Now we’re plotting a new course. Sovereign. Strategic. Alone, but not adrift. We sail with an armada of allies—nations ready to chart new routes, forge fresh ties, and unlock shared value on our terms. Carney knows that rebuilding will take more than diplomacy—it’ll take principle. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of the day: Canada isn’t waiting for America to come to its senses. We’re moving forward, with or without them.
