Another Canadian “journalist” that has zero clue and should be covering local cooking contests. The shift hurt Canada far more than the U.S.
What can explain the shift is the layer:
Canada’s 25% treatment of U.S. vehicles (full rate on non-USMCA units, and on non-originating content even on qualifying vehicles), which had already been in force since 2025. Automakers responded by moving assembly and content (Subaru toward Japan, others toward Mexico) so one origin bucket falls while another rises. That is supply-chain arithmetic, not a single tariff headline.

Been a story from a substack author and somehow works for fortune with zero qualifications. That claims Canada has the upper hand and damaging USA vehicle manufacturing and tariffs. Pure propaganda.
Canada’s auto/truck ssembly plants exist largely to serve U.S. demand, so any “assembly war” or tariffs prompt manufacturers to weigh shifting lines to the larger U.S. market rather than expanding Canadian capacity. This goes for Japan, Korea, and European also.
Canadian vehicle assembly has long been structured as an export platform under successive trade agreements, so most plants were sited and tooled to feed the much larger U.S. market rather than to serve domestic demand first.
That reality shows up in the numbers: even after recent tariff adjustments, the overwhelming majority of Toyota and Honda output from Ontario still heads south, while Detroit Three production in Canada has already contracted sharply.
Manufacturers facing higher border costs will naturally weigh relocating or reallocating lines toward the bigger customer base; acknowledging that incentive is simply recognizing how scale and market access work in an integrated industry.

Morning coffee with Grok. (Anyone interested can ask for original post links be discussed and entire grok conversation.).
“AI” is amazing, but it is neither actual “intelligence” nor is it totally “artificial”.

The importance of Trump Energy Policy (LNG version)
—-
What the Biden Admin Policies caused:
On 26 January 2024, the Biden administration directed DOE to stop issuing non-FTA export orders while it updated the economic, climate, and national-security studies used for the Natural Gas Act “public interest” test. Activists had focused on Venture Global’s CP2 project in Louisiana. The White House framed it as climate policy; industry called it a de facto ban on the next wave of plants.
LNG Projects that still needed a final non-FTA order to close financing were paused. Industry tallies at the time put roughly 13 Bcf/d of proposed capacity in that bucket, on the order of 90–100 mtpa if all were built.
Timeline:
(Biden administration)
1. Jan 2024–Jul 2024 — pause. Financing stalls even if FERC moves.
2. Jul 2024 injunction — legal opening, but DOE still sat on the study.
(Trump administration - Starting Day 1)
3. 20 Jan 2025 “regular order” — political signal that applications would be decided again.
4. May 2025 study response closed — legal basis for final orders.
5. Spring–fall 2025 orders — paper in hand. FIDs follow.
Without step 3–5, a lot of that 2025 sanctioning slips to 2026 or dies. Construction is 4–6 years, so a year of permit delay is a year of missing cargoes in 2029–32,
The January–May 2025 sequence is the Trump admin policy hinge for the second U.S. wave of LNG production and exporting of U.S. LNG.
Here is the LNG data👇

Midterm Election thoughts - 20260927
People are running around worried about the midterm election and that there will be a blue wave or Republicans will lose the House and/or Senate.
Uh.. actually it would be historically normal.
Historically, a president in his second term, the midterm elections are against the party of the sitting president. (See 1986 “Morning in America” and many others).
A Republican hold of the Senate/and or House (both currently narrow margins) would be equivalent to a red wave crashing into a normal blue wave.
@realDonaldTrump , @susiewiles and the PACs have since after the 2024 election to attempt to stunt or reverse this historical norm. Let the other guys spend the most money and then come in for the after Labor Day homestretch with immense cash resources to blunt the now old spending of the other political party and try to gain the closing momentum like Secretariat in the Kentucky Derby.
Our job is to quit falling for propaganda , ignore the biased and poor polling, talk about the massive Trump successes, and get out the vote.

Similar in that due to variables it is impossible to know with any statistic certainty.
Elections and politics have changed massively in the last couple of decades.
Technology, how we vote, when we can vote, who can vote. That affects the use of momentum and money down the “home stretch” and to what extent something like an “October surprise” can have an effect.
Add to that increasing lack of confidence in media (all forms), polling, and general dumbing down of the electorate on civic matters of how government operates… means the effects can not accurately be statistically measured and any level of confidence which accounts for the potential for increasing possibility of surprises in results.
Because of these parameters, there will be more money to all involved entities, more propaganda, more bad polls, more biased media and more legal battles on the periphery.
All any citizen can do is question everything, educate themselves on the facts of the issue(s), make an educated decision and tell others why they believe in that choice and actually vote based on that.

Never forget when Barack Obama was caught on a hot mic telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev:
“After my election, I have more flexibility.”
Medvedev replied: “I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”
That actually happened.
Can you imagine if that happened in 2026?

Just stop.
The extra 300,000 metric tons is split into three 100,000-metric-ton tranches starting September 1. Tranche 1 is still open through September 30. Lean trimmings must be shipped, cleared, processed into ground beef, and distributed. Only a fraction of the first tranche has had time to appear on shelves by late September, so the three-week retail snapshot captures very little of the intended extra supply.
Cattle prices reacted immediately to the policy news; retail prices have a longer lag. And your claimed losses are high and probably from a couple of private contracts (you have done that before). I will update the below image at the end of the month with good data.

OMG 😂 President Trump and President Xi laugh hysterically at Joe Biden's picture...
"This is Trump and this is the Autopen"
Xi bursts out laughing, never seen him laugh before.

Look at what’s happening in Venezuela. After years of dictatorship and socialism, the Venezuelan people deserve the chance to rebuild their country in FREEDOM. 🇻🇪
With Maduro gone, political prisoners are coming home and people once afraid, are beginning to find their voices again.
There is still a long road ahead, but @POTUS President Trump helped open a door that many thought would never open.

Sorry, @marthamaccallum and @JacquiHeinrich - multiple Democrat staffers confirmed that their Democrat boss used homophobic slurs, not once, but multiple times.
Calling your own gay staffers derogatory and condescending names while asking Democrats to vote for you shows she’s at least a comfortable hypocrite.
I’m old enough to remember that this accusation would be nonstop media coverage for a Republican.

(The death of the Saudi oil export machine was greatly exaggerated.)
Saudi Arabia has sold almost 100 million barrels of oil to Asian buyers since the middle of last week, according to traders familiar with the matter, helping to avert a supply crunch.
