1
I started these videos so I could talk with you directly about the challenges we face, the solutions we need, and how we can build Canada Strong together.
2
In other words, for moments just like this.
3
For the past year and a half, we've been building.
4
Building the very things that bring our communities together, the things that make them stronger, that stand the test of time.
5
On factory floors like the one I'm at right now at Kaivan, a factory-built housing company.
6
We've been building in our communities, in our mines, in our ports, right across Canada.
7
Canadians have been building strong.
8
Building new ways to get our goods to market, to drive investment and to create jobs right here at home.
9
We're on the right road to a better future.
10
So even though the United States trade actions will cause us some challenges in the short term, we are going to just move faster.
11
Get shovels in the ground quicker, make it even more attractive to invest here in Canada
12
and break down more barriers between our provinces so we can become our own best customer.
13
We'll keep building on our strengths, never forgetting who we are.
14
Canada is a nation forged in adversity, Country that prides itself on doing what's right, not what's easy.
15
A nation that knows we're always stronger together.
16
Canada came to life in many ways in response to American aggression.
17
Our first Prime Minister, Sir John A.
18
MacDonald, recognized the threat of an expansionist United States for what it was, and raced to unite this land.
19
He knew that agreements such as confederation as important as they were could only do so much,
20
and that Canada needed an economic and military corridor that could connect our peoples from east to west.
21
And so, at an incredible human and financial cost, Canadians took what was a country on paper and made it real.
22
They built an iron spine.
23
Almost 5,000 kilometres of railroad track from east to west,
24
the Canadian Pacific Railway stitched together our country and made our presence undeniable and unbreakable.
25
And with it, we created the national policy, which allowed Canadian businesses and industries to succeed by building Canada from within.
26
Now, this wasn't enough to see off the American threat for good.
27
In fact, that threat is flared up periodically throughout our 160-year relationship.
28
This isn't the first time Americans have tried to use tariffs to break us.
29
Before he became president, William McKinley was an Ohio congressman known as the Napoleon of protection.
30
McKinley championed the Tariff Act of 1890.
31
It put 50% tariffs on our exports to the U.S.
32
Sound familiar?
33
McKinley's 50% tariff was meant to pressure us into dependence and eventually annexation by the United States.
34
In reality, it did just the opposite.
35
Rather than getting weaker, Canada grew stronger.
36
Instead of becoming more dependent, we diversified by changing who we did business with.
37
And at the same time, inflation rose in the United States.
38
They had a financial crisis and a four-year economic depression.
39
Our forebearers understood that building this improbable country in an inhospitable land
40
But they also knew that they could rely on one of Canada's strongest traits, resilience.
41
Canada Strong isn't just about withstanding this crisis.
42
It's about coming out of it stronger, more resilient and more independent than when we started.
43
It's about ensuring that no country can ever hold us hostage and that we can live how we want to live.
44
By now, you've likely heard something about the collapse of our trade talks with the United States.
45
And you probably heard that we could not accept what they were proposing.
46
Let's be clear, it's a shame because a mutually beneficial trade agreement between Canada and the United States is possible.
47
One that respects our sovereignty, one that builds on our complimentary strengths, one that lowers costs for families on both sides of the border,
48
one that creates good jobs for our workers.
49
Canada has always worked towards these goals, even while America's attention and dedication to them has wavered.
50
Canada has consistently proposed long-term partnerships, while the US has too often demanded short-term transactions.
51
At the 11th hour, they were still pursuing restrictions on our ability to protect and promote French language and our culture.
52
They wanted a say in our future trade agreements with other countries and they were offering terms that would,
53
over time, undermine some of the most important industries in our country including automobiles, steel and forest products.
54
In short, they were asking far too much and offering far too little.
55
We worked in good faith to reach a fair deal but since a fair deal wasn't on the table,
56
we made the right choice to walk away from a bad one.
57
The most fundamental issue is that the cumulative U.S demands revealed
58
that they wanted us to become even more reliant on them, not less.
59
In too many areas, they wanted dependency, not a true economic partnership.
60
In the spring of last year, I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us.
61
And I promise that that will never, ever happen.
62
Because just like in McDonald's Day, our future won't be decided in Washington, but right across Canada.
63
And so I want to talk to you today about our economic plan, a plan that will make us stronger.
64
Because rest assured, we've been planning for just this scenario.
65
Our response is three-pronged.
66
First, we are matching the new U.S tariffs dollar for dollar with new tariffs of our own.
67
Now, I don't believe in escalating the conflict.
68
That's not constructive.
69
But our tariffs are necessary to protect our workers, protect our companies and our communities.
70
We can't let American goods into Canada tariff-free while they charge our companies to export them.
71
Second, we're supporting Canadians because up here we take care of each other.
72
The harsh reality is that the American tariffs will hurt some Canadians more than others, and that was by design.
73
So we're putting real support behind the businesses and people caught in the middle of this fight, a fight they didn't start.
74
We will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to bridge those people to a better future.
75
We're starting with seven and a half billion dollars in new help.
76
That will mean fast access to capital for small businesses, income support and retraining for those workers who need it,
77
Targeted help for those sectors hardest hit.
78
Autos, forestry, steel, aluminum.
79
And this is on top of nearly $25 billion already delivered since the start of this trade war.
80
That's what we do in this country.
81
We stand up for each other when times get hard.
82
Now, this won't be easy, and I won't pretend otherwise.
83
But Canadians have faced difficult stretches before, and what's carried us through has never ever been just one measure.
84
It's always been Canadians looking out for each other.
85
In fact, the most powerful actions have come from you, buying Canadian and traveling in Canada.
86
Decisions taken at the kitchen table, not the boardroom table.
87
Every time we choose to buy Canadian, travel in Canada, we're sending a message.
88
Nobody in this country is in the stands.
89
40 million of us are on the ice.
90
And I thank you for that.
91
That same spirit is behind making Canada strong for all, standing up for you as long as it takes.
92
The past 40 years has been a period of deeper economic integration with the United States.
93
Truth is, it was easy business, but it meant we relied too much on one economic partner.
94
It's clear that time is over.
95
This is why our plan since I came into office has been development and diversification,
96
not denial, waiting to go back to some good old days and not continued dependence.
97
For the past year and a half, we've been steering our economy towards trusted partners.
98
We've signed 20 trade and defense agreements across four different continents.
99
These represent real opportunities for Canadians and Canadian businesses.
100
They're good for today and they're great for tomorrow.
101
And these are more than deals, they're agreements.
102
Deals privilege the few, agreements benefit the many.
103
For example, in July of this year,
104
we announced that the Montreal-based Marconi Technologies would be the first Canadian company to get a contract through SAFE,
105
which is Europe's defense procurement program.
106
This one is a multimillion dollar deal to design and produce tactical radios.
107
Canada, our companies can strike these agreements because we're trusted, because we're reliable, and because we have what the world wants.
108
Another good example is Antler Valley Farm in Alberta, which has been part of the community for five generations dating back to the late 1890s.
109
It's a family-run farm.
110
It's one of Western Canada's top malt producers, growing malt barley, wheat, peas, and canola.
111
And because of our trade diversification, we've opened new opportunities with China, and the family can sell their canola at higher prices,
112
putting more money into their pockets, more certainty for their future.
113
The world is opening its doors to us, making Canada the best connected economy in the world.
114
Our businesses now enjoy tariff-free access to 1.5 billion consumers around the world.
115
Over the next six months, we will double that number.
116
I want to be very clear.
117
Building at home, diversifying trade abroad was never our plan B.
118
It's been our plan A from the start.
119
Canada will continue to pursue this path to build Canada strong because we're on the right road and it's working.
120
We're moving rapidly to build major infrastructure,
121
new ports, mines, energy corridors from every region of the country that now collectively represent $500 billion in new private investment.
122
These are projects that will help Canada build bigger, move faster and trade more with the world.
123
We're building affordable housing through Build Canada Homes using Canadian materials, ingenuity and labour.
124
We're building local infrastructure that Canadians can rely on every single day, with new hospitals, community centres,
125
public transit lines, and over a hundred projects on the way right across the country.
126
And tying it all together, we're doubling the capacity of our electricity grid by 2050,
127
so Canadians can have access to affordable and sustainable energy for for generations to come,
128
because controlling our energy means controlling our destiny.
129
I want you to picture it.
130
The nation building that Canadians pursued in the 19th and 20th centuries ran along a horizontal line.
131
The railway, Trans-Canada Highway, stitched us together from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
132
Now we're developing around that line, north and south.
133
A new iron spine with an electric grid that connects each and every one of us, regardless of where we live.
134
Churchill Falls is powering communities and businesses with clean energy, enough to power every single car and truck in Canada.
135
We're going to build a new pipeline connecting Alberta's resources to the Pacific ports and Asian markets.
136
New transmission corridors linking our energy wealth to the world.
137
New nuclear energy in Ontario, the transformation of the port of Churchill in Manitoba and the Pacific Gateway in British Columbia.
138
Connecting Canadians and connecting Canada with new partners in Asia and Europe.
139
Just as we're connecting physically, we're also focused on building the right connections virtually, including through AI.
140
Now, AI is a critical subject, and it's one I want to speak directly with you about in the future.
141
But know this, maintaining and protecting our sovereignty and our values in technology
142
and AI will be just as important as it is in big projects and infrastructure.
143
We're stronger now than when the United States started this trade war a year and a half ago.
144
More unified, more determined, more ambitious.
145
Our non-U.S exports are up sharply, and they're on track to double over the next decade.
146
Foreign direct investment in Canada is at its highest level in two decades, and it's running at twice the rate of our nearest G7 competitor.
147
Canada is now rated as the most attractive country in the world for infrastructure investment.
148
Our growth is accelerating, and it's projected to be the second fastest in the G7 this year and next.
149
So with a resilient economy in the strongest fiscal position in the G7, we have everything we need to pivot and prosper.
150
That pivot will come at a cost.
151
There's always a cost to action.
152
But it doesn't come close to the cost of standing still.
153
This is about who we are as Canadians.
154
It's about our livelihoods and the country we leave to our kids.
155
It's about making Canada strong, and it's about the compassion that makes us who we really are.
156
The truth is, adversity only makes us stronger.
157
It always has.
158
We are met shinu.
159
What we're doing is working, and we're just getting started.
160
Let's keep going.
161
Thank you for your time.
162
I know it's precious.

Cosa imparerai
Questo video ti aiuterà a rafforzare due competenze chiave per parlare inglese con confidenza: la abilità di seguire un discorso lungo e coerente (utile per capire argomenti complessi come la politica economica) e la capacità di esprimere posizioni decise con chiarezza. Inoltre, imparerai a identificare e ripetere frasi idiomatiche come "get shovels in the ground quicker" (mettere in pratica progetti velocemente), fondamentali per un linguaggio naturale.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nella conversazione, nota come i suoni si connettono: ad esempio, "we are going to just move faster" diventa we're gonna just move faster (riduzione di "are going to" in "gonna"). Inoltre, "break down more barriers" ha un linking tra "break" e "down", con il suono "k" che si fonde con "d". Questi dettagli rendono il parlato fluido e sono essenziali per il shadowspeak, una tecnica per imitare la pronuncia dei nativi.
Parla come un nativo
Per imitare il ritmo e l'enfasi dello speaker, concentra ti sulle parole chiave: "stronger", "resilient", "independent" sono pronunciate con più forza per sottolineare l'importanza. Usa pause brevi dopo frasi come "Canada is a nation forged in adversity" per creare suspense. La tecnica del shadowing in inglese (ripetere immediatamente dopo lo speaker) è perfetta per esercitarti: inizia con frasi corte, poi passa a paragrafi più lunghi. Ricorda che il segreto è non solo la pronuncia, ma anche l'intonazione, che in questo video è decisa ma calma, tipica di un discorso pubblico persuasivo. Imparare l'inglese con i video come questo ti aiuterà a internalizzare queste dinamiche in modo naturale.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | we've been planning · we've been steering |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have tried · you've likely heard · has always worked |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is flared · was meant · won't be decided |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
