Canada’s New Strategic Breakaway: 5 Areas Where Ottawa Challenges the US

In this video, we explore the deepening rift between the United States and Canada—triggered by tariff wars and expanding into five critical areas: from automotive and fighter jets to missile systems, NORAD, and Arctic accords. Learn how Canada is responding to President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff with countermeasures of its own, and why Prime Minister Mark Carney is now reassessing multiple US-centric agreements. We break down:

Automotive Clash – Canada’s stance on new auto tariffs, potential alternative markets, and Project Arrow’s concept EV.

Fighter Jets Upheaval – Ottawa’s reconsideration of the F-35 deal, possible switches to Europe’s GCAP, and concerns over a kill switch.

Missile System Options – The debate between US-made HIMARS vs. Israeli PULS or Korea’s K239 Chunmoo.

NORAD Tensions – Canada’s possible withdrawal implications and US concerns about Arctic defense coverage.

Arctic Sovereignty – Huge mineral resources, Canada’s push for roads/ports in the north, and competing claims in a melting Arctic.

Don’t miss our deep dive into Canada’s quest for independence in these five strategic areas and the broader geopolitical implications for both North America and global alliances. Will the US-Canada relationship reach a breaking point?
