When Nations Forget Their Own People: America’s Pain, Canada’s Ruin

This long-form monologue examines what happens when leaders serve outside powers before their own citizens—how sovereignty erodes, industry collapses, and ordinary families pay the price. Drawing on classical economics (comparative advantage, deadweight loss), game theory (the Prisoner’s Dilemma), and hard history, it lays out why America bled out its middle class and why Canada, seeking foreign approval over domestic strength, has slid toward national self-erasure. We talk supply chains, energy, housing, borders, and the moral inversion that calls self-preservation a sin—and why a citizen-first reset is the only path back.

Along the way, I contrast Donald Trump’s hardball trade posture with Mark Carney’s harmonization instincts, and ask a simple question: Who is the state for—the people who live under it, or the audiences applauding from abroad? If you care about sovereignty, manufacturing, affordable energy and food, and the dignity of work, this is for you.
