I do not like this Canadian Prime Minister even a little bit; however, Mark Carney getting elected to run Canada would be the greatest benefit to MAGAnomics in the United States. The insufferable doofus is completely enthralled with the views, perspectives and ideologies of globalism.
Prime Minister Carney’s “conservative” opponent, Pierre Marcel Poilievre, is a softer, gentler, and more effeminate version of former U.S. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney: he growls through his cashmere. In short, Canada is screwed.
All of that said, the normal thinking Canadians need to get through a Romney to get to a Trump; so, perhaps it’s better if Canada just increases the speed of the downward economic slope by installing Carney.
Somewhere around 80% of Canadians have no concept of how their economy is functioning {GO DEEP}. Most Canadians seem to think they have some form of capitalistic system in operation and tweeking the knobs will fix things; it won’t.
So, from an American political perspective, having Mark Carney carry out his policies and watching the system therein collapse, might break the borg-mindset. It will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency hits around 0.25¢ to the US dollar. However, that currency collapse will ¹more than eliminate any Trump tariff impact.
Prime Minister Carney outlined yesterday how he will increase the industrial carbon tax in order to align with U.K and EU trade partners on the issue of climate change. Taxing carbon, he says, is the key to unlocking excellent trade agreements with other ‘global trade partners’ who can then fill the void created by disconnecting Canada from the USA economy.
No, really, he said that. Carney believes it with all his heart. These economic comments come on the heels of Mark Carney telling French President Emmanuel Macron –in public– that Canada was the most European of countries outside the EU. WATCH THIS (prompted):
¹Here’s how it will happen. CAD = Canadian Dollar, USD = U.S Dollar
President Trump hits Canada with an approximately 50% tariff. Let’s say an import widget from Canada costs the purchaser/importer $100 CAD + 50% tariff, now $150 CAD.
$1 CAD = 0.70¢ USD
Without U.S. tariff, it costs $70 USD to purchase the $100 CAD widget.
With the U.S tariff it would take $105 USD to purchase $150 Canadian widget
However, due to economic policy, Canada’s dependence on the USA market and the tariff battle, the Canadian currency drops around 30%. $1 CAD now equals 0.50¢ USD
With currency drop it now costs $50 USD to purchase the original $100 Canadian widget. $75 USD with tariff.
BEFORE: $70 USD without U.S. tariff, or AFTER: $75 USD with 50% U.S. tariff. A net change of $5.
But wait, back to Mark Carney’s plan. As stated in his tariff policy, the prime minister will take income from the Canadian side of the tariff equation (countervailing duties) to subsidize the impacted export sector. Just like China and the EU did in ’17, ’18 and ’19, the Canadian government plans to offset the difference to the U.S. consumer by subsidizing the exporter with import tariff income. All of this is done to retain access to USA consumers.
The final outcome, the U.S. purchaser is back to the original price of $70, only now that same outcome is evident with an invisible $50 tariff.
This is what China tried to do. This is what the EU tried to do. This is what Canada is now planning to do to retain access to the U.S. market while they look for alternatives.
But wait, it gets better….
….. As the Canadian financial sector evaluates the likely drop in the CAD currency, they seek safe harbor investment to retain the value of their money. The reciprocal tariffs are hitting every currency. The Canadian finance sector purchases dollar and dollar-backed assets to retain their value. This approach increases the value of the U.S dollar.
D’oh Canada!
In the final irony of this entire situation, the G7 is again scheduled to be held in Canada.
The picture below is from the last time the G7 was held in Canada.
History rhymes and a loving God creates the natural balance of things.
Between them, the US and China account for over 40% of global GDP. If the two big dogs abandon any feigned allegiance to the global warming carbon scam, how exactly do “The Snow Mexicans” and Europe intend to compete in global markets?
Tariffs are the least of their problems.
Canadian Politicians, no unlike U.S. Politicians say one thing then do another.
70 million tons of Coal including U.S. Coal gets shipped out of the port of Vancouver every year to be burned somewhere on this Planet, yet Coal is a no-no fuel in Canada.
900,000 barrels of oil per day is shipped out of another Vancouver Port, not “Carbon Taxed” yet poor Canadians have to pay Carbon taxes.
Apparently it is OK for other countries to burn coal and oil, but Canadians are Verboten.
ps. Most of that oil is going to refineries in California, which is odd, since nothing Canada has for sale is needed in the U.S. Is this not so?
While the US might not “need” anything from other countries, the powers that be at the top of the US economy have apparently been happy to conserve our own resources while consuming other countries resources on the cheap. Very profitable and keeps their resource piggy bank full for future need (profitability).
Canada will be a sinking ship.
Canada
will beis a sinking ship.Maybe Klaus “Barbie” Schwab and Georgi Soros will subsidize the rest of the west to keep their globalist vapors….or not!
Seen on a T-shirt: CANADA
IS NOT FOR SALE
Donald Trump holding a sign: NO ONE EVER
OFFERED TO
BUY CANADA
We are Americans. We just see what is right and we act and take. Then say your welcome Canada, when they thank us.
Why buy Canada when we could invade and occupy it over a long weekend?
Invading other countries seems quite the specialty. Being welcomed and being able to stay is quite another.
We’ll work on getting rid of our Useless Eater Socialists ourselves. Thank you.
Oh, and all the threats are putting the Montreal/Laurentian Mob higher up in the polls.
The more that Trump pushes the idea of making Canada another state, the harder you Canadians will work to make sure that doesn’t happen, which is kind of our whole point in the first place.
See, useful idiots are, well, useful to anyone who knows how to manipulate them.
China didn’t get that message.
When Harper was in charge, Canada had a balanced budget. Ever since Trudeau has been in charge, Canada has had a deficit of 40 billion. Canada has put itself in this position because of all their virtue signalling.
Once a democrat is elected everything is ruined!
FACT, Friskycat!
It should be familiar to most Americans. Trudeau was installed, like your man Biden.
Sadly, you’re probably correct for the US, Canada and MANY other “western” countries.
Stompy foot Europeans having a hissy fit because we won’t do their bidding.
Irrelevancy is a b*tch — BOO-HOO!
Snow Mexicans? That’s a good one Joshua2415…………..Carney just gave away the secret about him. He’s is a moron.
I prefer Snow Vietcong when we bomb the $hit out of the north and beat them.
Stupid talk.
Have another large scoop of Extra Special Dumb.
I’m presently sitting here in a US border town having lunch and looking across the river at Canada, so I’m fairly familiar with the worst aspects of their citizens. First, they are terrible drivers, not a day goes by that there isn’t a wrecked car or two sitting in a parking lot near the bridge to be towed back to Canada to be repaired. I attribute that more to the large foreign born residents who likely never received proper drivers training. Second, though we appreciate the money they spend here, and they buy all their fuel here with a significant contribution towards our road taxes, the dumpsters are constantly packed with packaging from their purchases, and even worse some don’t even bother, the packaging is just left in the parking lot. Fortunately security cameras have decreased that activity in recent years. On the other hand, I’ve spent a lot of time in Alberta during my lifetime although less in recent years and wish more US citizens were like the Albertans I got to know.
Canadian politicians are nothing more than Monty Python-esque crossdressing lumberjacks.
I thought they were more rugged than that…
i notice in that photo that Japanese PM Shinzo Abe’s body language mimics Trump’s. PM Abe had pushed back against the COVID vaccine mandates and became a marked man. He was shot at a campaign rally. Now Japan has self-amplifying mRNA vaccines which cause your cells to manufacture the spike protein INDEFINITELY. Spike protein=vascular inflammation, thrombosis (clotting), myocarditis, and death.
Sundance, this discussion of the Canadian political situation is pretty brilliant and very helpful. Since my husband’s family (or most of it) lives in Canada, I am sad for Canadians, but then again, they are a compassionate people, and have misunderstood wokeness for compassion. Big mistake.
I wonder if Carney will throw the Canadian economy off a cliff. Taxing carbon is insanity.
Just think about it: The entire world NEEDS CO2. CO2 is required for all plant life on earth. With sunshine and CO2 plants manufacture what they need to survive and release oxygen to the atmosphere. If you somehow cut down the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (which I think is rather doubtful) you will kill off a lot of plants. If you cause plants to die off, you will cause a certain amount of all animal life to die off. Now why would anyone come up with a plan that would result in global depopulation?
I think all of you know why. And Carney, as a proud member of WEF, is exhibit A for the private jet flying group that is telling us to eat bugs and ride bikes.
Animals, plants and humans need SUVs.
Always keep in mind that “we” are the carbon that they are attempting to reduce…
@Eve R “I think all of you know why. And Carney, as a proud member of WEF, is exhibit A for the private jet flying group that is telling us to eat bugs and ride bikes.“
Thank you! None of this is about Canada and what Canadians want or need. It is about installed globalist leaders taking money from the Canadian citizens and laundering it to further the agenda of their globalist masters.
It seems insane what Carney is doing until you realize, (as we now can see through DOGE) that all the “stupidity“ is just their manufactured reasons to scam tax money and launder it their empire.
Using carbon as their scam has the added benefit of controlling our behavior… for the good of the children… or planet … but ultimately for them.
Thank you Sundance. Without your clarity on interpretation, I think I would have understood much less of this Carney word salad. His droll face is a clear indication Carney still sleeps. Even his EU governors must know the climate hoax is over.
America has been there, done that and It is over. That’s why we see oligarchs and big tech turning on a dime in response. “Shift happens”.
America has moved into the future of The Golden Age.
Meanwhile unelected EU heads (Carney’s controllers) are stuck in a 2016 tailspin. They bet the kitchen sink on their WEF manufactured climate change crisis and “new world order”. Even created war with Russia to strong-arm their commitment.
They are as dizzy as Dem Rinos, left bleary eyed and incapable of change.
“They never thought she would lose.”
Dig in D’oh Canada! Dig in! The Provinces are destined to become States. #NCSWIC
No, not states, not ever…
A Territory maybe
10 Provinces is 20 Senators. And as many House Reps as California.
And for all our neighbors who love 9 months of cold, come for a visit first, before you decide to stay.
Afghanistan II ?????
Taxing carbon is supposed to reduce global warming. Are Canadians really against global warming? Perhaps they do not go outside much. Maybe they really do all live in the US. /s
Unfortunately, there are none so blind as those who will not see…
Oh, I see where this going…
Mandatory battery powered chainsaws for the lumber industry, mandatory electric vehicles, mandatory battery charged snow blowers, synthetic ice for hocky and free maple syrup for all Canada.
I remember the modified G-7 photo with Trump in front of a bank vault door and Angela glowering.
can’t wait to retake the picture!
Canada looking for bailout from EU except EU busy cutting off it’s nose despite it’s face and about to squeeze every last drop of fake printed money they can as they face US tariffs along with the insanity of wars they want to keep pushing. Hell other countries will dog pile on the rabbit like China and maybe Russia and charge them more/tariffs too. Watch this all implode spectacularly. hence why they need war. it’s always the same playbook. spend other people’s money until you are near running out and then use war to reset. it’s so publicly visible at this point. Sad place EU/UK have gotten themselves into with Canada trying to drive the last nail in the coffin and join them. Crazy times indeed.
Are these people actually that stupid, or are they counting on the stupidity of the populace as they wreck everything with their idiotic Marxist garbage?
They are that stupid.
Yes and yes unfortunately!
Reminds me of the line uttered in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by the incomparable Strother Martin, “Morons, I’ve got morons on my team.”
*Spoiler Alert*
Of course that was just before he got shot by Mexican Bandits.
There are rumblings that Carney’s actions since being placed in the spotlight are to set the stage for Canada to join the EU. The bylaws currently prevent this since Canada is, of course, not a European country. But, we’ve seen the flexibility of the EU before when it benefits them. The Canadian Left is not up to the challenge of turning around Canada’s economy. They have no intention of removing Climate Change crutches or Equitable Outcome boondoggles. They are perfectly content to serve as the Assembly Plant for foreign industry. Eventually, the Canadian Left will throw up their hands and have to do something drastic. And, Carney may very well be setting that up. The EU, of course, just wants to rape the Canadian Resources to remove dependency on Russia, and try and damage the US in the process. And now we see Carney mentioning alignment with the EU on various issues (the latest Carbon) almost like a prerequisite. Let’s see if they start playing around with their justice system, regulations, and rules to come into compliance next. Sounds far fetched, but Canadian Liberals are…well…predictable and farcical.
Canada will not be allowed to become a member of the EU.
Enforcing the Monroe Doctrine will see to that. Too bad for Canada if their leadership goes down that path.
I wouldn’t put too much weight on the value of the Monroe Doctrine in today’s world (I see lots of China down there in Mexico…as well as Canada). I, especially, wouldn’t value it much if someone other than Trump was in the White House. Canada can set up a direct relationship with the EU in theory and application, and simply wait for more favorable political circumstances to officially join. I’d keep an eye on what changes the Liberal Govt. of Canada installs in the coming future and whether they line up with the EU’s Charter. I just find it curious that an international banker with direct ties to the Globalist EU pops up out of nowhere and, basically, gets installed into the leadership slot of Canada. And, then….doubles down on stupidity while simultaneously mentioning how that stupidity aligns with the EU.
PM Carney’s crowning was not by coincidence; it was by design. What the Liberal Party did to make sure he was anointed would make Democrats more than envious. Canada has an unelected Prime Minister who got his position with around 132 000 votes by a selected group of Liberals only. The Opposition Party can do little as PM Trudeau prorogued Parliament. When it will reopen is anyone’s guess. To make matters worse, the Liberals are busy purloining the platform of the Conservative Party, trying to hoodwink the Canadian people that these were their ”ideas.”
Since there is nothing Canada has that you need, what’s the problem?
It is a bit concerning when your next door neighbor begins acting irrationally. Canada is inviting in everyone who would like to invade the US, for instance. Much easier for China if they can launch an invasion from Canada rather than a beach landing for instance. Or even the Blue Hats from the UN.
Liberals have already ”played around” with the justice system and finally broke it.
Not liberals. They are leftists, too intolerant to be called liberal.
Thanks Sundance!
Your explanations are the only ones
I can ever understand!

We also need to look at the other side, as things become cheaper for the U.S. they become more expensive to other countries (Canada) as their currency loses value relative to ours. We risk becoming exclusively an import country as US goods become very expensive abroad.
Enter Russia:
“The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between US and Russia has huge upside. This includes ENORMOUS ECONOMIC DEALS…”
https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1902052206884585946
Export to Russia was in the billions in 2023. Now it’s in the millions. It would make totally irrelevant any trade loss between US and any other country.
And Russians love American whisky.

This is very true. In talking to many Canadians in Fl., when I would bring up Castros son and his corruption they would respond well if that’s true we’ll vote him out. They have no clue what’s going on in their country due to the govt. media.
The concept of la la land inhabitants is not limited t the US … the 30-40-30 concept works in most nations with “Western Style” democracy.
In today’s paradigm and environment:
About 30% side liberals, democrats, what ever you call them. they are either benefiting from the welfare state or rich enough to not care, so they can do their self destructive, self righteous social justice thing .. or they are masters in charge.
About 30% have a pretty firm nationalistic view of things.
Then there are the 40% in the middle … they are the ones who live the laze fare life as long something does not punch them in the face … who watch CNN, MSNBC, CBS, et al faithfully .. who are the objective audience of the other two 30% groups vying for control.
As I read through the comments, all I see is surface based opinions. The problems is much deeper than carbon taxes and the value of the currency. The real issue here is that china has effectively taken over Canada. If you think Pres. Trump isn’t aware of the threat on the US northern border you’re not paying attention. He has yet to even say the name Carney, showing his utter disrespect for the installed globalist. (He was NOT elected!) When Trump talks about the massive fentanyl problem coming from Canada, he is saying that he knows full well that the triads, Islamic terrorists, and a host of other bad actors operate with impunity in Canada. There are only a couple of jounalists who have been trying to sound the alarm in Canada and they’ve been pretty much ignored.
For a deep dive into the Big Picture I highly recommend Sam Cooper https://www.thebureau.news/ and Frank Vaughn https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-iNft4KceyBW18t-nfQuEw
As a Canadian who has watched the intentional destruction of my country, I am beyond pissed off! I trust that God has everything under control but He did instruct us to love righteousness and do justice! My prayer is that Canada will become the 51st state. God bless America!
God bless you, sir, and good luck. As an American whose own country has been under attack from everywhere for years, I understand your rage. If rage leads to courage and then action, y’all will get your country back. We are in the midst of the “Big Ugly” as Sundance calls it. We are turning over rocks and finding lots of sickening things. We’re still in the fight — even with so-called “judges” who fight against Trump’s power to deport illegal alien criminals! Keep praying and as they say here, keep your powder dry.

The Outer Party thinks that the problem with Socialism is that it’s never been tried.
Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, etc. weren’t real Socialism.
The Inner Party thinks the problem was that previous Socialisms didn’t go far enough.
Not enough middle class kulaks were starved and immiserated.
The eventual Dear Leader knows that the problem is other Socialists.
Kulakize them enough to be secure and your rule is eternal.

Exactly: not a State.
Let’s look at options that do not include statehood … territories, commonwealths, protectorates … all kinds of options that can be selectively applied as needed.
It takes a minimum of 500,00 in population to make a “State”.
Say a couple of “Purple States” and the autonomous protectorates of Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver comes to mind.
Kinda like Gazans: need 20 years of re-education
The best thing is that while all this is taking place the USA media will proclaim as loud as they can that Trump is LOSING.
LILLEY: Carney and his economic policies wrong for the time we are in
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-carney-and-his-economic-policies-wrong-for-the-time-we-are-in
Canadians have never faced the reality that they have been and are a European country on American Shores… they have never been actually free.
Canadians, like many others, are brainwashed into believing the mankind-caused global warming hoax. In fact, Canada is a nation which would benefit greatly if the globe warms. The stupidest people are those who fight to achieve their own self-destruction.
But . . . if Canada deflates its currency, thereby canceling the impact of the tariffs (while also making Canadians poorer), the auto sector won’t return to the United States.
President Trump and Lutnick have said that the return of the auto sector is necessary for national security.
The conversion of the civilian auto industry to the manufacture of military equipment is needed should a major war occur. (This conversion of civilian to military use happened during World War Two.)
So I suppose the auto tariffs will need to go higher and higher until this industry returns.
If factories don’t return, we’ll have a nice four years, but the long term renewal of our industry won’t happen.
So . . . if Canada devalues its currency, reciprocal reaction should require a further increase in the tariffs.
The auto industry builds in Canada because of their universal health care. The US auto industry was underwater with union pension and health care costs adding to the actual hourly rate.
Good grief! It sounds like a scene that could be written for Atlas Shrugged. Socialism stinks, world wide.
I can’t wait to help vote Mark Carnage back to New York (where he actually lives).
Seriously, the once Great Federal Liberal Party of Canada, that at one time stood for Progress and Equality, that now stands for progressivism and equity, must, IMHO, undergo a Kathleen Wynne event*.
*Kathleen Wynne’s last election was in 2018, where she led the Ontario Liberal Party. The Liberals suffered a significant defeat, winning only seven seats, including Wynne’s own seat in Don Valley West. This election marked the worst defeat of a governing party in Ontario’s history, and Wynne conceded midway through the election that her party would not form the next government. She subsequently resigned as Liberal leader on election night and was succeeded by John Fraser as interim party leader. Wynne formally resigned as premier on June 29, 2018.
Oh and Sundance, you almost always get things right but Pierre Poilievre is not anything like Mitt Romney. IMHO, Poilievre is very much a conservative Canadian populist. In fact, Mark Carnage is more like Romney than PP is. Both Carnage and Romney are self inflated idiots who can always be counted on to get things wrong.
Sadly, we in Utah elected Romney’s replacement Senator John Curtis, who aspires to Mitt’s weakness
Carney, the Canadian Biden
Good luck, Canada.
Lest we forget, Justin Trudeau was the golden boy of globalism a few short years ago, singled out by Klaus Schwab as his most prized protoge’ in those salad days when Herr Schwab proclaimed that the The Great Reset was just over the horizon, a time when the proletariat would own nothing but they would be happy…presumably because the World Economic Forum would order it!
That was before the WEF made “Restoring Trust” the theme of the DAVOS elites who were beginning, too late, to realize they blew it and globalism was in retreat all over…well, all over the globe!
Like in the last days of the dodo and Tasmanian wolf, Canada’s liberal government is still in FA stage and clinging to power, while across their southern border the once-mighty Democrat Party has definitely FO!
The Dems are the minority party in every category that can possibly be categorized and, with a new CNN poll showing Democrat voters astonishingly see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the politician who ‘best reflects their core values’, they’re not likely to regain the majority in the near future!
There’s an old Sherlock Holmes joke about the great detective and Dr. Watson searching the flat of a suspected pilferer of gold watches. When Holmes opens a drawer filled with hundred of gold watches Watson declares, “Looks like we’ve found our man, Holmes!”
“To the contrary, my dear Watson,” Holmes replies. “This fellow has so many watches that he has no need to steal them!”
This is the kind of thinking Mark Carney brings to the table…and thinking like that will soon have Canadians from Nova Scotia to Vancouver trading in their watches and their cash for U.S. dollars!
“Carney” is the language used by WEF members to communicate with each other, often to discuss potential customers or “marks” without being understood by others.
Carnies use a secret language known as carny vocabulary or carnival cant, which is part of their traditional communication methods. This language helps them maintain privacy and share information discreetly among other globalist elites.
“Carbon Tax” is thinly disguised virtue signaling tariff, that the “carnies” of WEF globalist elites use to destroy each others economies.
We can agree. Carney is a WEF stooge, suck-up to Euro Socialists.
Poilievre, to your eternal happiness is an Israel Firster.
“80% of Canadians have no concept of how their economy is functioning” TRUE.
YET, “Capitalist” America has been De Facto Socialist for at least 3 decades. Federal Spending (including the Annual Perpetual Deficits), State spending, County and City Spending in aggregate approaches 40% of all U.S. GDP. Without the Socialist “Pump Priming” of the Worn-out American Pump, the U.S. Economy would slow way, way down. The transition period to where the Private Sector could be revived is yet to be determined.
And, my pet peeve. If the U.S. was truly a Capitalist Country, then how did Too Big To Fail get foisted on the poor taxpayers?
When you fail, new blood is supposed to fill in the gaps, via Creative Destruction.
Sadly, my friends the Canuks, will learn by experience (~again). [sigh]
I’m quite sure we’ll rescue them again. They really would be better off as a protectorate or a territory.
Just like Trump is pumping pride into the US population, we need to pump pride, self worth, and populism into Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and possibly even Iceland. Eventually all the way south to Panama.
Think of the possibilities.
one correction … Carney was not elected. he won the leadership of the Liberal party thereby putting him in the position of PM.
Yet he is not a Member of Parliament- an MP. How is this legal?
Carney lied in saying an industrial carbon tax is needed to trade with the EU.
The EU has in Jan 2026 an import carbon duty on all imports, it does not require another nation to have an industrial carbon tax.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2026 will impose CO2 emissions costs on imports from countries like the USA and India with weaker environmental rules.
To export to the EU all nations must sign on to CBAM red tape including the USA.
Carney was forced to kill the consumer carbon tax because a majority of Canadians do not want it and the Conservative campaign is based on eliminating it and the industrial carbon tax.
Canada will not collapse no matter what the USA does but just go into recession or be on the edge of it for a few years. Trudeau just ran Canada that way for 8 years.
If Canadians suddenly can’t buy $357 billion dollars worth of US imports yearly, the USA also suffers.
As far as autos go, Canadians buy two vehicles from US auto makers for every one Canadians manufacture.
Dairy, via the USMCA the US pays no dairy tariffs until they exceed the quota which they never have.
David Stockman said in his latest piece that if Trump equalizes all tariffs with Canada, the US would have to pay Canada 5 billion per year in equalization costs.
Canada reminds me of these guys.
Oh yes, please carbon tax our vassal state to prosperity

@jkenney
“I would rather deal with a Liberal than a Conservative… (Poilievre) is no friend of mine. I don’t know him, but he’s said negative things.”
He knows that Canada is weaker and more vulnerable after ten years of deep Liberal damage to our economy and national security.
And he wants more of the same.
Video linked….
This must be really confusing for Canadians. Trump has bashed both candidates. How are they gonna know who to vote for now? Just sayin’….
😁
I’ve seen a lot of comments from Canadians on Canadian sites that seem to think this helps Poilievre because of Canada’s TDS.
Others are trying to take a deep dive analysis. Example:
I just don’t think it matters to Trump. He has plans to deal with either. However, the NY street fighter in Trump always hits back.
Mark Carney was originally part of Prime Minister Paul Martin’s government. Canada’s main policies then included a focus on fiscal responsibility, social programs, and international engagement or globalism and the climate accords.
Paul Martin pursued a policy of keeping Canada more at arms length with the USA, and strong Canadian sovereignty.
Carney will do the same as Martin; try to engage every nation but the USA except in trade, especially the EU, hoping to wait out Trump’s term and then deal with Democrats.
Can’t wait to see who Canada’s version of Trump/Milei/Firage/Orban turns out to be.
Trump tonight on Ingraham: Canada was meant to be the 51rst State – link below.
Laura Ingraham questioned why Trump treats Canada as an enemy and this was after Trump talking about his great relationship with Putin and Kim Jong Un.
Ingraham like all other media never asks Trump how Canada would be a US State when there is no mechanism in the US Constitution for another nation to be a US State.
Neither would his own Republican Party ever consider Liberal Canada as a huge US State.
When will anyone hold him to account on his foolish idea of Canada as a US State which would only benefit Democrats? But hey, maybe Trump is a Democrat. In his reply over Canada’s election, Trump said he’d rather deal with a LIBERAL than a Conservative.
No it is not better for Canada to elect the Liberals again this year. Only the Conservatives will end the industrial carbon tax and the environmental assessment act that blocks all Canadian pipelines and resource developments along with removing red tape along with many other things.
