Previously, Mark Carney and the Canadian govt famously fired Air Canada’s CEO because he shamefully didn’t speak French. This week he hired American, Maia Johnson, as his Chief Operations Officer (COO), she also doesn’t speak French and the Canadians are perplexed.
Hired by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the role of Democrat party operative and former Michael Bloomberg associate, Maia Johnson, seems directly related to the strategy of leveraging U.S. Democrat resistance against the CUSMA (USMCA) termination.
[Note: Mark Carney and Michael Bloomberg connect through their banking and finance network with prior associations. This relationship also connects to U.K Mayor Andy Burnham who is likely to become the next U.K Prime Minister to replace Keir Starmer.]
Readers to CTH likely remember in 2018 former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leveraged Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi to regain position in the USMCA negotiations (NAFTA elimination) with USTR Robert Lighthizer.
It appears that Carney is attempting a similar maneuver through the connections of Democrat operative Maia Johnson.
Specifically, because positioning American resistance to the CUSMA (USMCA) termination is a key part of the Carney strategy, a COO from U.S. Democrat politics is the best strategic approach. A Canadian in that role would be of far lesser value.
TORONTO SUN – […] This week, it was reported that Carney was promoting a woman unknown to most Canadians to the position of chief operating officer in the PMO.
It appears to be a first for Canada to have a COO in the PMO, but it’s who the woman is that is truly interesting.
Maia Johnson is currently listed in the government employee directory as Carney’s “Senior Advisor, United States Stakeholder Strategy.” That sounds like a job for someone at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, not someone working on Wellington St. in Ottawa.
This is where it gets really interesting, though, because Johnson, the woman advising Carney on how to deal with Donald Trump, is an American and a registered Democrat with ties to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
In what world does it make sense for Johnson to be a senior advisor on Canada-U.S. relations, never mind be elevated to the position of chief operating officer of Canada’s PMO? (more)

Has she registered as a foreign agent?
Great minds think alike.
She certainly keeps a low profile, can’t even find a photo. But I did find this little nugget, courtesy of opengovca. She’s been on the Canadian government payroll since at least May of this year:
https://opengovca.com/employee/maia-johnson
Bloomberg news on You Tube has become as bad as Yahoo News.
Every story they post has the approved narrative ™ on it.
My bet is she’s very black and saturated with DEI professional ‘experience’.
Only republicans have to do that.
Has she registered as a foreign agent?
Has he?
That is a US law, not Canadian.
Once her American citizenship is legally removed/ended it will not be our concern.
A FARA filing better have been done by Maia Johnson already.
Is it FARA or Hatch Act ? Which has stronger bite
How about some Hatch chiles?

The chi coms are trying to gain a bigger foothold in Canada, and the left is all over any chinese operations. I’ve been thinking for years that if the state of California decided to defect from the rest of US, they would just let the chi coms land on their beaches. The Canadians are pawns, but the leadership wants to have a seat at the big table. They’ll sacrifice their people, too, just to get that seat.
As a resident of CA, I agree. As in: whatever happened to that billion dollar mask deal Newsome did with China? Just vanished like everything else?
what has been evident for some time is that california is a traitor state with loyalties to foreign governments and global corporations at the expense of the other states of the Union. Kali should be expelled. rural kali can be reabsorbed, and war should be levIed on the remainder, and then resettled and reabsorbed once the parasites are vanquished.
Pretty much true to one degree or another of the USA as a whole.

I can’t either Mycroft. When we were back there last it looked like India, the neighborhood by Lexis/nexis was surrounded, many stores and grocery stores…same.
When they started all the whoa is me about the poor little Haitians, I wish that YTG
had some way of getting the story out. About Haiti.
My Sunday school class has a couple of retired Methodist Missionaries who had
traveled to some really sketchy areas back in the 90s, early 2000s. The areas
they were sent to were from sorta unsafe to outright terrifying. I asked them
one Sunday where they’d been sent that was the worth.
Their answer: “Hands down, Haiti. Machine gun fire all night. Driving around
town was taking your life into your hands after nightfall. They would take
dead bodies, and throw them out into the streets. Those that tried to slow down
or swerve were attacked. The one sound were remember vividly from Haiti is
hearing dead bodies under the wheels of our car. There was no other choice<”
This couple were fervent liberals. I wish they’d been able to get on the news
and tell them what swell sorts of people reside in Haiti.

Did they bring back poor pathetic pitiful orphans who are now in prison for murder..
Rural California is agricultural greatest at area in the world. It’s even more infested with illegal Hispanics than the cities. Those areas towns have extremely high crime rates they’re not little towns big populations too. Not as many as Los Angeles of course but bigger population than San Francisco. And farmers are the biggest importers of illegal alien Hispanics. Who have turned those rural areas into cesspools if crime and corruption. Plus the public schools have the lowest achievement.to be expected from kids with IQs ranging from 95 to 80.
Stockton is a rural agricultural town and usually has the highest crime rate in the state. Mostly Hispanic..
You obviously don’t know who the importers of illegal aliens are. First and foremost the entire food industry farmer to slaughter houses packing plants canneries frozen food factories to warehouses to retail food markets and restaurants. California farmers have always used Hispanic migrant workers for about 150 years.
I can’t believe you don’t know that farmers all over the country use illegal Hispanic workers. The American farmers recruit them in central America and Mexico. And pay the smugglers. The Wisconsin New Hampshire Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota as well as California dairy cow farmers all use illegal alien Hispanic workers All our fruit is picked by illegal aliens. In California the strawberry pickers look like East Asians not Hispanics. Maybe Cambodians? Hmong? Some obscure country the strawberry farmers found.
Florida is full of illegal Hispanic Indians in squalid camps picking oranges lemons tomatoes abd other crops.
How can you not know this?

The crazy thing is that even if the Democrats were to win power back in the midterms (I doubt that will happen) that doesn’t mean anything will change in Canada/US trade. Trump will still be in charge. Even the Biden administration had issues with Canada’s close ties to China, transshipping and ineffectiveness at dealing with transnational organized crime.
Yes, Biden did. Biden is Uniparty. Unipart is not DSA Democrats; the DSA is winning the Democrat nominations across the country because the DNC is broke, but those funding the DSA are not….it’s why the DNC sold Pratner out. They would rather have a Uniparty RINO than a DSA Pratner.
Interesting. I hope MAGA wins the midterms. We are in a war whether we realize it or not and the bad hats have gained power because we didn’t see it. Time for everyone to wake up!
Chili con Carney! Snow Mexican Cartoon Network. That’s all folks.
That is very funny to me. Why would he think that she has any influence in American politics? The Democrat party, in general, is in the dog house. So, maybe it’s her connections that he thinks are promising. It sounds dumb.
Biden, Harris, H. Clinton: Well, two were / are ruthless, conniving crooks; and one can’t speak a cogent thought. She’ll take the blame for the plan they may hatch with Carney.
Other Treepers are correct. The leaders in Canada will sacrifice their citizens’ futures to feather their nest and stay above the collapse that’s coming.
Carney and the Canadian government planning on the USMCA still being around is akin to planning on winning the Powerball jackpot for your retirement. (Except you probably have a better chance winning the Powerball.)
A general fighting the last war.
Facts on the ground have altered and Carney can’t see that hiring an aging consultant to woo politicians is no match for the rich, beautiful and connected manufacturing girls who just walked into America’s board rooms.
“there is still the question of why Carney couldn’t find a Canadian to do the job. Does he think Canada is so bereft of talent that he needs to import an American?”
Sovereign nationality is but a quaint notion to these elites. Her passport is irrelevant. That she’s a fellow traveler is quite relevant.
Anyone else seeing more parallels between the Globalist world order and the Commonwealth?
Isn’t going to work. The ‘rats union buddies are on the side of the US.
International Brotherhood union “bug” on Ret Brig General Leela Gray’s campaign flyer for US Congress primary, Democrat. She is running against Anna Paulina Luna.
Maia Johnson and Carney are old pals. She previously worked with him on his failed climate initiative:
https://x.com/cbcwatcher/status/2076815532653711389
She’s got a string of failures, so she should be an excellent fit.
Eh?
Oh. Maybe part of the failed climate agenda she came up with is the part where they intentionally start fires in Canada every two years to “clear the under story,” meanwhile suffucating everyone south of their border in the eastern US with a dose of their smoke every two years.
Really, really bad smoke today. My eyes were watering, and not until much later today did my cats want to go outside. Usually they are out their most of the day with me hovering around the best I am able.
Yep, AQI in my town today was 500! Wasn’t sure of the scale, so looked it up. The scale only goes up to 500.
Never heard about all these Canadian wildfires back when they devoted most of their economy to their vast natural resources. Now that they’re basically a middleman for Chinese crap, these fires seem to pop up regularly.
Eating bugs, driving EVs, communal urban living. If you don’t choke on that, you can choke on an AQI of 500.
I’m in the Twin Cities of MN. Our air cleared a lot overnight but Duluth MN (which is further north and closer to the fires) had an AQI yesterday of 1100 ! You may not be safe staying inside all day at that level.
“everyone south of their border in the eastern US with a dose of their smoke every two years.”
I am in WNY. The clouds and sky were orange all day yesterday. Everything looked like you were wearing those amber shooter’s sunglasses to cut glare and sharpen contrast on overcast days.
Today was white instead of orange; however, there was much more haze near ground level but the acrid smell of smoke is more pungent today
I’m south of Albany and had the same experience yesterday and today.
You know they let the Chinese Military operate in their forests at will…
In NE Ohio it smelled like wood smoke with an undercurrent of burning plastic. Hazy today but better than yesterday.
We have been going to Quebec every year for 40 years and I just don’t remember any fires that would produce this kind of smoke until recently, maybe the last five years. I hate to hear about it–Quebec is a lovely place as is all of Canada.
We have a hazard alert in SW PA, stay indoors, all pools are closed and it’s 90 degrees…You can’t even see outside there is so much fog.
Maybe she could swap stories with other success babes on things like how to sell Bud Light.

Carney hires Hillary Clinton cronie who worked with John Podesta on Clintons 2016 Presidential campaign.
Meet the new leader of Canada, we don’t even need to become the 51st state, we will just let them govern Canada now.
The adenochrome levels are flatlining.
💯
Carney works for the Rothschilds….. as did their agent Hillary.
That’s a very flattering picture of Hildebeast.
Great timing!
Alberta needs to know.
Wow!
Outstanding choice of a COO Canada. Not only has she only always been on the losing side of every major campaign she’s ever been part of, the current US Dim party is so divided with leftist commies, she’s likely to turn off even more people Carney hoped to sway. Absolutely laughable.
Sacrebleu!
All I can say is . . .
“eh?”
I think that’s all the “Canadian” I know!
Not sure if I even have that right!
It’s French for “I shit myself”.
COO installed by an installed PM.

I love that Frank Zappa song. LOL.
I love every and any time that someone helps us to remember Frank Zappa –

Lack of Public Records: There are no public records, interviews, or biographical profiles that identify her parents, place of birth, or siblings.
A ghost.
Sounds like a fellow traveler of one Mary McCord.
I tried searching her earlier and found very little.
Make you go HMMMMMM
Yeppers. Anyone that stays hidden that winds up in position of power
has done some serious, serious, serious behinds the scenes malfeasance.
Probably graduated at one point from being whoever’s bagwoman.
Carney is placing all of his bets on the Repubs doing badly during the mid-terms.
She will love Canada, the inflation leader ot the free world. A 1935 $1 Canadian is now worth 5c.
Have you noticed what our Federal Reserve has done to a 1935 U.S. dollar?
When it comes to jobs, Canadians are anti-American bigots.
They don’t want Americans competing for their jobs. Would sooner let Chinese have jobs than Americans.
This is a much bigger offense to the people, who have been forced to turn down American applicants by their government, than we Americans can see.
Wildfire terrorism
Creating a story to back up the narrative.
No fires? No climate change. See how that works?
Maybe Carney should have enlisted SmokyTheBear instead of Gaia Johnson…
One would think that all that those forest fire timber could have produced (instead) a huge amount of Canadian lumber for world markets, thus generating more Canadian dollars.
But instead, it’s just more important to generate smoke that will waft over the Northeast US states.
Apparently we all must be punished for not supporting their climate agenda.
Fortunately the yellowish-gray clouds dropped the temp a few degrees on what was supposed to be a very hot day.
I guess that’s our silver lining… And today we’re back to blue skies & beach weather.
Exactly to all of the above by Jim NearNH!
“And today we’re back to blue skies & beach weather.“
Shhhh! Don’t give them any ideas or they will flood your beaches with sewage like they do in Southern California.
Lots of grift money available in NOT fixing the sewage flooding the beach.
Say what you want, but Carney CONTINUES to show his globalist stripes as he deprives YET ANOTHER “NATIVE BORNE” CANADIAN of a paycheck. ELBOWS UP, Canada, you can’t yet sense the smelly end of the stick from all the forest fire smoke in your eyes and nostrils….. THANK YOU for your continued service as a cautionary tale of what is portending South of the Border! 🙂
The ambassador Hoekstra is way too down to earth for phony people like Carney.
Desperately desperate; this is funny to me.
Why?
Because it validates as Sundance has highlighted. However, it’s being exposed as worse than SD has posited…or is it.
Either Carney snd his ilk are really clueless, in the same manner as the press: they have 10 years and leverage; leverage they believe is stronger because of this move….lol.
Oh no, they hired a Democrat to stir up resistance by the same Democrats who do it already…oh no. They truly think ten years…
They forgot one thing. It only takes a written letter abd in six months, poof, all gone.
The President doesn’t have to negotiate for 10 years. Under Article 34.6
Unilateral Exit: Any of the three nations can pull the plug with just six months’ written notice.
Instant Expiration: If the U.S. delivers that notice, the 10-year countdown is obliterated. Once those 180 days run out, the deal is dead, period.
No matter how much the Dems cry, stomp, and throw fits. Their fits, which have been non-stop is just background noise now.
Once the Executive issues the official six-month withdrawal notice, the USMCA countdown becomes an unstoppable process that Congress has zero legal mechanism to halt. No matter how much congressional Democrats protest or attempt to pass symbolic resolutions, they cannot freeze the 180-day clock or force the administration to stay in the pact. When those six months run out, the trade agreement is legally dead, leaving lawmakers completely powerless as the Executive’s unilateral tariff policies take full effect.
Game, set, and match.
😅😂🤣.
The pedo network is gunna take down reality.
God’s will shall be done.
Psssst….who remembers Barack Obama flying up to Toronto and meeting with Mark Carney back in May?
Hey this is great news. She’s just another loser in a long string of losers.
I thought Americans fleeing to Canada was a thing of the Vietnam War era??
This would explain why, today, Carney reneged on the Gordie Howe Bridge agreement/proposal.
It is no longer valid.
Canada’s Carney now wants all the toll fees to be paid to Canada until the full debt has been repaid. Nothing, Nada… Zilch for the U.S.
I wonder how Trump will handle this new situation.
Deny access across the bridge; it’s simple, you close it down from the US side. Then it makes money for no one.
Dream on Carney.
Why does Carney look like stroke on right side of face? Canada healthcare?
I have wondered about that. Bells palsy from the Covid vaccine
Is Mark Carney recovering from a stroke or something? One side of his face is kinda droopy and I haven’t seen any canucks talking about it.

The comments show they are still clueless as a people; they are just angry it’s an American (if that’s the comment’s point), rather than understanding who the American is, who they previously worked for, and how they have failed each and every time.
Here is a photo of Maia Johnson
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CforBetterGovernment/posts/26712404681767219/
Looks like she would have sufficient ‘feminine wiles’ to use as she saw fit when needed …
We finally have a face for the Newly Appointed COO of Canada. Democrat Maia Johnson who is American. Carney is choosing The US over Canada. I wonder is she fluent in French
https://nitter.net/myabradshaw78/status/2077699016859513099#m
Attractive. I’m sure she’ll make some nice young man utterly miserable.
Sooo, what kind of data exactly are they storing!
It’s becoming quite obvious that the globalist elite are living in a bubble of delusion. Unfortunately the people who they represent will suffer the consequences.
For that level of work in the PMO, wouldn’t she have to have the Canadian version of a top secret clearance? That requires U.S. citizenship here, but I don’t know about Canada. Yes, I know we share lots of TS level material with the “five eyes,” but we all operate under the same rules to prevent onward sharing outside the group, so the sharing is supposed to be what could be termed citizen-to-citizen access.
Good point. She showed up with a US clearance, that Canada accepted. Tells you who she is, not just some campaign staffer.
Not sure any dumocrat will have leverage with the Trump administration, not even congress. That includes many in the republican party especially those active voting democratic.
These idiots putting requirements on their government employees which are not related to their jobs is exactly the same problem as DEI. In a sense it IS DEI, just not based on race or imagined identity.
They HAD one official language. Then added a second and as far as I can tell Mandarin is the next one on the list.
She promised to learn-lol.
Seems obvious the firing of the Air Canada CEO had nothing to do with the man’s linguistic capabilities. Not speaking French was just the excuse used in order to avoid talking about whatever was the real reason for firing him.
Carney’s motive for hiring Maia Johnson, to advise on or coordinate his “United States Stakeholder Strategy”, is one more clear indication about how he is going to try to avoid the end of USMCA. No negotiations, no trade talks, nothing but getting Congress and American lobbyists and CEOs to work to prevent any and all changes to USMCA. It is easy to see what Carney is trying to do, so why are we waiting? The President should simply pull the plug right now and start the six-month clock ticking toward withdrawal. Don’t give them any more time.
Carey the Fairy. What a clueless elitist. President Trump is five steps ahead of Canada. Most Canadians don’t know about the possibility President Trump will pull the plug on the Tri-Lateral deal, and cut separate deals which favor America. 🇺🇸 it will cut Canadas car parts sales to the US.
Will Alberta pull the trigger on leaving and joining America?
Canada, the gentle giant on our doorstep.
