Kevin O’Leary: Canada’s Economic Collapse and Trump’s Tariff Strategy

Kevin O’Leary just delivered one of his sharpest breakdowns yet — and it’s a brutal look at the Canadian economy under Trudeau. After nearly a decade of mismanagement, 25% of Canadians now live at the poverty line, growth has flatlined, and capital has fled the country. Trudeau’s crown is burning — and the so-called technocrat savior, Mark Carney, is already under pressure to fix the mess.

But O’Leary argues the real leverage isn’t in Ottawa — it’s in Washington, where Donald Trump is quietly reshaping global trade with a reciprocal tariff regime. Other countries disguise their protectionism. Trump makes it plain, forces everyone to play by the same rules, and shows the market exactly how the game is played. Canada’s economic team knows it — and they’re scrambling.

The twist? The real value isn’t in trade anymore. It’s in power and energy. With Alberta emerging as North America’s new frontier and Canada holding the cheapest electricity supply on the continent, the stakes couldn’t be higher. As O’Leary puts it, this isn’t chaos — it’s clarity. Trump’s message is simple: get in the room, or get steamrolled.

⚠️ This isn’t just trade. It’s economic triage. And O’Leary leaves no doubt: if you don’t like tariffs, try poverty. Watch until the end — and don’t forget to subscribe for more unfiltered takes on markets, politics, and power.
