2025 started with Justin Trudeau in power and ended with a more mask-off variant of Liberalism. In between there were Trump’s tariff wars, genocide, and some small hard-won victories for the left.

El Jones joins Desmond Cole and Martin Lukacs to take a look in the rearview mirror and reflect on one year in Canadian politics and social movements.

My thoughts on Carney’s mou with Danielle Smith was a brilliant way to expose the extreme loud voice of the Alberta separatists who want to damage all Canadians.

Re: the fight against Trump and his tariff war that appears around the 27 min mark.

While some Canadians did stop going south (about a 30% reduction in travel), those numbers tell us that Canadians aren’t seriously boycotting the US and/or their products. Yes, it is impacting some US businesses and the tourist industry, but what about the 60% that have continued to patronize the US?

This may sound trivial but it points out that a large number of Canadians (the majority) aren’t taking Trump’s threats seriously. In fact some Albertans want to be more like Americans. They think they would be better off. Their premier has suggested Alberta should push for sovereignty, which in reality means an eagerness to become Trump’s useful idiots.
