Tariffs… The Trump Card On Canada

Most Canadians see the word “tariffs” and think of bad news. Higher prices. Trade disputes. Political tension. But what if these tariffs are not an attack but an opportunity? What if they are exactly the wake-up call Canada needs to restore its sovereignty and rebuild its manufacturing base alongside the United States?

In the Number 1 International best-selling book It Starts With Gold, Adrian C. Spitters and Peter J. Merrick explain why the world is shifting away from the globalist model that has dominated for decades. Canada, they argue, must decide whether to remain dependent on foreign interests or stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States in building a sovereign and self-reliant North American economy.

For years, foreign exporters have used Canada as a pass-through to bypass United States tariffs. Goods enter Canadian ports, receive minimal changes, and are then shipped into the American market. This practice undermines both American and Canadian manufacturing. It weakens wages, shuts down factories, and erodes national control over production. It Starts With Gold outlines how this happens and why it must end.

Trump’s tariffs were not about punishing Canada. They were designed to close the loopholes that allowed foreign manipulation of trade rules. These measures sent a clear message. If Canada wants to maintain strong access to the American market, it must take control of its borders and stand up to foreign exploitation. As covered in It Starts With Gold, these policies were a necessary shock to push Canada toward becoming a stronger and more sovereign nation.

Tariffs can work in Canada’s favor. They create space for Canadian businesses to compete. They encourage investment in manufacturing at home. And they remind Canadians that trade must serve the people. Not foreign corporations. Not unelected global institutions. This is the core message of It Starts With Gold. Sovereignty begins with production. A nation that cannot make what it needs is a nation that depends on others. And dependence is the opposite of freedom.

Canada and the United States share more than a border. They share democratic values and economic interests. Trump’s trade reset is not just about protecting American jobs. It is about encouraging Canada to become a more reliable and self-sufficient partner. Together, both countries can rebuild supply chains across North America and take back control from those who have used globalism to manipulate trade and labor. 

One example is Mark Carney. Former central banker of both Canada and the United Kingdom. He is closely linked to the World Economic Forum and its Great Reset agenda. Carney pushes climate finance and net-zero targets based on the interests of global capital. Not Canadian workers. Not small business owners. It Starts With Gold exposes how figures like Carney shape policies that reduce national control and raise costs for ordinary citizens. These policies are not voted on. They are imposed by networks of influence far removed from public scrutiny.

Trump’s tariffs brought these hidden systems to the surface. They revealed how Canada had become deeply embedded in globalist frameworks that do not benefit the average Canadian. These include supply chain dependencies, foreign ownership of critical industries, and legal commitments to institutions like the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund.

As detailed in It Starts With Gold, Trump used tariffs not only to defend American manufacturing. He also triggered a shift in the global order. By pressuring allies like Canada to tighten rules on foreign transshipments and reduce reliance on countries like China, he forced an honest reassessment of trade. Canada was put in a position to choose. Align with North American interests or continue serving as a passageway for offshore production.

This choice is still before us. The future of Canada depends on whether it can build real value again. Whether it can produce, secure, and sustain the basic needs of its people without depending on outside influence. Tariffs may be the first step. Understanding why they matter is the next. That is why It Starts With Gold is so important.

This book offers a clear, straightforward explanation of how Canada reached this point and how to move forward. The authors have priced the Kindle edition at just 99 cents, the lowest Amazon would allow, to make it widely accessible.

This is not just about economics. It is about sovereignty. It is about regaining control. And for Canada, it truly starts with gold.
