Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday that if his government could not successfully negotiate a suitable trade pact with the Trump administration, he was prepared to wait for a new American president; one that Canadians would approve of.

Asked if that meant he would hold out for a new American president; the prime minister answered in the affirmative. “We’ll have to, if that’s what it takes,” Carney told POLITICO

Within the interview Carney also emphasizes the risks from AI (SI) and underlines how the AI frontier labs are requesting a slowdown and regulation upon them.  Carney says he agrees with the AI leaders on this issue and government regulation is a best approach.

In my opinion the reason Canada and the EU want AI slowed and regulated is simply because they are so far behind on their ability to generate their own models.  They have a self-interest to stop AI (SI) development in the USA.

The transcript for the interview below:

(0:00) Prime Minister, thanks for speaking with Politico today.

(0:02) Thanks for having me.

(0:03) You’ve just wrapped up the 21st Kennedy EU summit here in Montreal. Um, this is a milestone meeting. You’re eager to deepen transatlantic ties. Um, but there is, we know, some dispute about how to characterize and name the Canada EU relationship. How would you describe the relationship status with the EU in one word?

Remember when former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told President Trump the Canadian government could not continue its economic policy if the United States demanded they become self-sufficient.

One of the key reasons cited by Trudeau was the Canadian dependence on the USA for defense.  Canada simply could not spend the amount of money needed to create their own military at a level required for independent defense and simultaneously follow their govt spending plan.  Canada relied on the U.S. military as their defense strategy.

Yesterday, former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the same thing; only this time Starmer was saying the United States is no longer willing to “bankroll” Europe’s defense and both the U.K and European Union were going to need to find money to build their own military.

(VIA BBC) – Sir Keir Starmer has said Europe should build a common security framework, warning the change in its defence relationship with the US is permanent rather than “an aberration of the Trump presidency”.

The former prime minister was speaking at a British Irish Chamber of Commerce (BICC) dinner in Dublin on Friday evening.

Sir Keir said a “common security framework” for Europe was needed as much as a common market, with the UK at its centre.

He warned that “things will not go back to the way they were,” adding that the US had made clear it will no longer “bankroll” its European allies. (read more)

This public statement and admission by Keir Starmer follow remarks by current Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to Politico on the heels of the Canadian-EU summit, also yesterday.

“If you’re connected to a satellite system that a billionaire, almost trillionaire, decides to turn off at one moment or not, that’s not a good idea,” Carney said. (source)

Think about this for a few moments.  Canada, the U.K and Europe are all facing the same problem…. MONEY!  Where are they going to come up with the funds to pay for a military investment they have declined to make for the past 50+ years?

Things were simmering just below the surface due to pro-EU globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and a pro-nationalist President Karol Nawrocki both occupying leading roles in government, with a conflicted judiciary stuck between them making decisions about efforts to change the Polish constitution.

Tusk supports globalism, Nawrocki supports nationalism, the constitutional judiciary, a tribunal assembly essentially equivalent to the U.S. supreme court, held more nationalist judges than globalist judges – including the tribunal court president Bogdan Swieczkowski (essentially the Chief Justice).

LAST NIGHT – Prime Minister Tusk waited until President Nawrocki left the country, then together with aligned ideological judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, they declared the court President, Bogdan Swieczkowski, as null and void, while presenting herself as the replacement. Judge Korwin-Piotrowska attempted to become the self-appointed judicial president with the support of Tusk.

As best it can be determined, Prime Minister Tusk simultaneously ordered the police to surround the judicial court complex and block any attempts to stop what was happening inside the tribunal area. Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek, who is also the attorney general, told journalists he requested the lifting of legal immunity for Judicial President Swieczkowski and his deputy Bartlomiej Sochanski in order to carry out their replacement.

This was, by all reasonable interpretations, a stunning and planned judicial coup d’etat carried out by globalist Donald Tusk, an aligned judge Korwin-Piotrowska and an internal network of leftist government allies.  However, President Karol Nawrocki, a close ally of Donald Trump, turned his plane around en route to Senegal and quickly returned to Warsaw so that he could intervene and stop the judicial overthrow.

To say the events were stunning would be an understatement.  Prime Minister Donald Tusk essentially tried to forcibly remove the judicial blocks that were keeping Poland sovereign and away from the deleterious impacts of Brussels, including mass migration and the elimination of all Polish sovereign currency.

Canada is in a really weird place and I’ve all but given up trying to understand it.  At a certain point you just have to accept that Prime Minister Mark Carney is operating on an agenda for that country that is disconnected from all traditional perspectives around national best interest.

For example, the Canadian trade relationship with the single state of Texas, USA, is larger than the total Canadian trade relationship with the European Union, yet Carney is spending an inordinate amount of time chasing a trade deal with the EU that is never going to amount to anything.  Seriously, it’s a literal dead-end.

First, there’s not a scintilla of alignment between the USMCA (Canada says CUSMA) and the European Union.  There’s two entirely different sets of economic baselines, standards, rules and regulations between trading with the United States and trading with the EU.  If Canada wants a trade relationship with the USA, they have to give up trying to structure their economy to align with the EU; both systems are entirely different.

Canada cannot have a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the EU that contains structural regulations on the flow of goods that substantively restricts Canadian products from entering the USA.  The same issue exists with China.

Now, if Canada wants to separate from the North American trade agreement, then by all means – go for the deal with the EU and/or China.  However, as long as Canada wants to retain their USA dependencies and benefits, there’s no mechanism that permits an FTA of substance with Europe or China.  Mark Carney cannot have it both ways.

Secondly, do you remember when CTH noted the second quarter GDP for Canada appeared to be entirely manipulated by the movement of Dutch Central Bank gold from Ottawa to London.  People laughed at me for noticing the timing and the mysterious (completely unexplained) gain in economic output in the second quarter.  Q4 2025 was flat, Q1 2026 was negative, then mysteriously Q2 had a bounce – and, well, now Q3 is showing a return to flatline or negative.

OTTAWA—Canada’s economy cooled in the latest quarter after activity unexpectedly stalled two months running and early data points to a slight contraction in September.

Gross domestic product was essentially unchanged in August from the month before at 2.372 trillion Canadian dollars, the equivalent of US$1.695 trillion, Statistics Canada said on Friday.  That was softer than the 0.2% expansion expected by economists following a similarly flat result in July.

The national data agency’s advance data indicates output edged down 0.1% in September.

At this point it’s not funny how this happens.  In reality those who follow DC events will note this is almost an exact replay of earlier Lawfare battles surrounding the FISA warrant public release. Same characters, same arguments, same players, same corrupt intents. [Redacted DOJ Filing Here]

In 2017/2018 the issue was corrupt DC interests arguing for the public release of a top secret classified document, the title-1 FISA surveillance warrant used against Carter Page.  The warrant was already leaked to the media on March 17, 2017, when the lawfare assembly later wanted to exploit it.

In the 2026 re-run, the issue surrounds the DHS/HSI search warrant executed against Ilhan Omar.  The DOJ wants to keep it sealed until the warrant has been fully executed, implying there are alternative parties who have been requested to provide additional information.  The Lawfare group want the search warrant details released to the public now so the allied group can organize and exploit public defenses.

Neither the FISA warrant nor a HSI search warrant had/have ever been released prior to full execution therein. DC Judge James Boasberg, a horrible man of intemperate and corrupt disposition, will now decide the release of the latter.

WASHINGTON – […] The battle over whether to unseal the search warrant comes amid two separate federal investigations into the Democratic congresswoman stemming from concerns about discrepancies between financial disclosures filed a year apart and allegations that her father committed fraud when completing immigration paperwork. Omar immigrated to the United States from Somalia in 1995, when she was 12 years old. Investigators are examining whether her father misstated her age on his citizenship paperwork in 2000, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship through him as a minor.

But the fight over whether to unseal the records is being overseen by Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee and longtime target of Trump.

Against the backdrop of Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy “directing the Alaska Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted,” President Trump noted the gross manipulative fraud during remarks earlier today.

It certainly appears a criminal conspiracy against rights is brutally obvious.

Governor Dunleavy Statement: “Today’s New York Times reporting reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.

The Alaska Division of Elections investigated these very concerns in June of this year. The new reporting substantially supports the Division’s findings.

I am therefore directing the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The evidence will determine what happens next.

Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support. Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections. Anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.”

Promethean Action PAC’s Susan Kokinda gives her update and perspective on the Canada-U.K effort to interfere in the U.S. midterm election.

Susan Kokinda opens with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney celebrating Brazil’s election, von der Leyen’s partnership “thriving” and Carney’s “flourishing”, set against Volkswagen’s plan to cut 100,000 jobs, Canada’s lost manufacturing jobs, and Audi’s first U.S. plant, announced with President Trump in Perry, Georgia, with Rep. Rich McCormick on what it means for Georgia and a look at GDP growth in the United States, the euro area and Canada.

The episode then turns to the U.S. Embassy in Canada’s October 21 fact sheet on Canadian activities in U.S. politics: Carney’s and Minister Mélanie Joly’s denials, Joly on meeting “so many governors and potential presidential candidates”, tariffs aimed at “political pressure”, and the anti-tariff billboards. It sets that beside Chatham House’s August 27 paper for Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government, which urges London to court members of Congress, state legislatures, potential presidential candidates and industry leaders, and looks at the British pedigree of Canada’s trade team and Chatham House director Bronwen Maddox on the members of Congress who came through Chatham House. It closes with the voters: the Parti Québécois win in Quebec and the Conservative majority in British Columbia that President Trump congratulated, the AfD’s wins in two German states, and the President’s “France: Now and Then”.
