Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is still in B.C., where he’s pitching life sentences for fentanyl traffickers and gunrunners.
Classic.
Any short-term cooperation must not derail the urgent need to sever our economic and defensive dependencies on that nation.
It’s not simply that Trump is unreliable — American voters are as well.
So yes if we can ease some short-term pains felt by our workers and industries that is fine. But that’s where it ends.
I don’t care what Trump says, because he’s a lying sack of shit. What did Carney say about the call?
He said pretty similar things honestly. I watched the video yesterday so I don’t remember super well but he said T was respectful and it was a good call essentially.
I wish they could talk more openly about what a piece of shit Trump is but Canadian politicians have to show that they are politicians and not children like those on the other side.
Sigh. Looks like it was just Trump being a lying, untrustworthy asshole.
The White house said this just yesterday:
Canadians “will no longer have to endure the inconveniences of international travel when Canada becomes our 51st state.”
We should keep their electricity turned off and stop all oil exports until they stop this bullshit for at least 30 days.
It’s not worth celebrating if he just stops saying it out loud. Still, unclear if he just understands whatever last person he talked to says, or if it was productive because Carney caved on everything.
What could he have caved on? Carney seems to understand that a country can impose any tariff that it wants and there is nothing he or Canada can do about that. All they can do is focus on the response. Trudeau and Ford rushing over to the US to beg for exemptions didn’t exactly play well.
Carney said he would not talk to Trump until he respected Canadian sovereignty. Trump did not call him governor or refer to Canada as the 51st state. At the very least it’s a step forward in discourse which no one else has acheived up until this point.
What could he have caved on?
Renegotiating security/economic relationship after election, may very well mean fewer Canadian exports/GDP, more US weapons purchases, and continued hatred/divisiveness with everyone US orders us to engage in. The disgusting lie that we need a broken bomber-biased plane, the F35, to defend against Russian Arctic invasion is simply evil treason made by foreign allied puppets that steal from Canada. Also, at issue, whatever new deal is signed will have US for sure commit forever to upholding its end.
“Just a little while ago, before I got involved and totally changed the election — which I don’t care about … the Conservative was leading,” he said last Friday.
Damn I can’t stop going to the 22 minutes skit where Trump is totally not jealous of Carney – every statement he makes has vindicated that.
