CARNEY IS DONE: Trump Exposes Midterm Election Meddling
In this explosive episode of Behind the Headlines, we break down the official U.S. Embassy fact sheet exposing the Carney government for unprecedented election interference in the U.S. Midterms.
From Industry Minister Mélanie Joly admitting to targeting Republican states to Premier Doug Ford’s $75 million partisan ad campaign, the evidence is undeniable. We also expose the massive $9 billion Canadian corporate bailout designed to cover up the devastating economic fallout of this trade war—a staggering sum that eclipses the Obama auto bailout when scaled to the U.S. economy.
Has Canada permanently damaged its relationship with its closest ally? Tune in as we bring the receipts.

U.S. Ambassador DESTROYS Mark Carney Over Midterm Meddling
U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra issues a massive warning to Mark Carney over election meddling, escalating the Canada-U.S. trade war to new heights.
Are we watching the collapse of the Carney government in real time? This week on Behind the Headlines, Cody and Ian break down the devastating domestic and international fallout of Canada's escalating trade war with Donald Trump.
While the media panicked over Trump’s “51st state” joke at his Arizona rally, they completely missed his real message on trade. Now, Washington is threatening strict consequences—including asset freezes and jail time—for Canadian officials interfering in the U.S. Midterms.
Meanwhile, the economic crisis is hitting home. The American CEO of Stelco walked directly into the Liberal media den to shut down Mark Carney's spin on steel layoffs and corporate subsidies. On top of that, Carney's anti-Trump playbook is crumbling domestically as new polls show a conservative surge in B.C. and massive pushback from Quebec.

Trump Freezes Out Canada as Trade Backfires
Mark Carney’s trade gamble just hit a brick wall, and Donald Trump is preparing a devastating retaliation. Despite Canada shedding another 68,000 jobs for the second month in a row, Trump told reporters he is in "no rush" to make a deal—leaving Ottawa completely frozen out of negotiations.
In this episode of Behind the Headlines, Ian and Cody break down:
Why Trump has officially had enough of Ottawa's rhetoric and election interference
How the Western pipeline project opened the door to U.S. fury over cheap, imported Chinese steel
The real human cost: over 100,000 Canadian jobs at risk as trade talks stall
Pierre Poilievre’s blistering takedown of the government's economic failures
Is Ottawa running Canada like a country or a business, and does Trump hold all the leverage?
