Prime Minister Carney has pushed back against the Trump administration in a series of extraordinary statements.
Carney denied a claim by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that he retracted a recent speech that challenged the economically coercive agenda of the U.S.
Carney rejected Bessent’s characterization that he “aggressively” walked back “some of the unfortunate remarks he made” in his Davos speech.
Carney’s speech was hailed by other global political and business leaders as a welcome dose of candour and challenge to Trump’s agenda.
Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified, “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos.”
The prime minister said in French, „The world has changed, Washington has changed, there’s nearly nothing normal in the U.S. now and that’s the truth.“

Canada having trade talks with the US is the equivalent of speaking calmly to the meth head while you inch towards the door.

I dont see a point to these talks, say we reach what we think is a good arrangement, a week later this administration will say they are implementing 100% tariffs because someone’s dementia is acting up, you can’t make a deal with people who have no problem breaking a deal at any time for any reason.

About 75% of Canada’s goods are exported to the United States. Carney can’t just ignore that. If Trump closed off trade, Canada would go bankrupt.

Carney should tell Trump that he will reopen Canada’s trade and start buying American whiskey again.
But only on the condition that Trump withdraw his troops from American cities and stop killing his own citizens in the streets.
🤣🤘

The world is waiting for what happens in the midterms.
If America votes for more of this administration or if there is a direct authoritarian conversion of the government you will see pivots happen ***extremely quickly***.
Right now.. everyone else in the world on a governmental level is hoping this is just a bump on the free world train ride. 2 years before a lame duck presidency and a brief flirtation with Nazism.
Carney is just unusually blunt about his intentions because he really doesn’t care what others think about him. He’s proven his abilities and isn’t in the position for a career. He’s a patriot and it shows.
