Clearer….like even this is dishonest.
He took what could have been forgiven as an ugly loss against a bad faith deal and instead scored on his own net by lying about what was in the revised deal he signed off on. This is a mistake that will stick.
He’s only sorry because he got caught. Wait…..he’s not even saying sorry for lying. Elbows up!
He only says things like this when he is caught lying. He never says sorry.
PM Carney admits he ‘should not have lied’ on Gordie Howe Bridge deal**
Fixed the headline
I’m a moderate but if poilievre did this I couldn’t imagine how much more hatred/coverage this would have
Should have been clearer? His statements were very clear. They were also lies.
Damn, now he’s lying about lying
Last 5 weeks have been disastrous for PM Carney. Ramming C-22 down everyone’s throats. Condo bailout. Now this.
He’s definitely scheduling a multi-week trip for when Parliament is back in session. He has a lot to answer for.
MSM last week: “Carney got such a good deal he won’t tell Canadians about it in case Trump finds out”. MSM last night: “Conservatives accused Carney of lying”. MSM today : “I should have been clearer” says Carney. As a former journalist, this failure by MSM to ever hold Carney to account, and instead scrutinize every word said and move made by the duly elected Opposition Party, sickens me.
Buddy you lied just accept that you lied, apologise, and move on. Why are you handling this the worst possible way?
So no apology for lying? Just „I should have been more clear?“
Love how he makes a joke of it and even laughs. „Wearing a cowboy hat hurr hurr“ as if that makes any difference
Naw.
This is a cop-out.
This wasn’t “unclear”.
Carney is an intelligent numbers man. That’s a fact.
This was either a lie, or an egregious absolute oversight where the Trumps team bested him, which is absolutely embarrassing if that’s the case.
„Sorry we got caught lying, but not really.“
„I shouldn’t have lied thinking I smarter than everyone“
> “Could I have explained it better on a Sunday morning at Stampede? Yeah. With a cowboy hat on. Yes, I could have explained it better,” the prime minister later added.
This has big „you’ll forgive me if I don’t think about monetary policy“ vibes, not gonna lie.
It’s your goddamn job to explain things clearly when you give an interview to the press no matter where you are or what day of the week it is. And if you’re not in the right frame of mind or whatever just take the day and don’t do the interview, like you do all the time at question period.
The Liberal apologists (and paid bots) are out in full force
The bridge deal, the BC condo buyouts, seems like there’s a lot he could have been more clear on lately.
What Carney Lied.. again… No way!….
It was obvious that he **lied** the moment he started playing with words like „revenue“ and „profit“.
Of course it was going to be bad. But hey, a bad deal over no deal right? Or whatever his motto was.
What sucks is Canada paid for the entire bridge which we originally had a deal to pay back the costs before profit sharing. Now the Americans made off like a bandit without any investment getting 50% profit.
Unlike the Ambassador bridge, where all the profits go to a Trump supporting billionaire. Even the American government doesn’t see a dime of profits.
I say it’s time to put tolls on the roadway to the Ambassador bridge to pay for the Gordie Bridge. One way or another we need the be paid back the cost of building this bridge without the American help. They are extorting us.
I think we’ve hit the turning point with Carney. Honeymoon is over. Realization that we followed up the worst Prime Minister in history with largely the same people ought to be setting in now.
He should be „clearer“ on most things, including the deal with China and his Brookfield involvement after being appointed PM
„Should have been clearer“ is a pretty soft landing for what actually happened.
He told Canadians publicly that debt would be repaid before any revenue sharing kicked in. The agreement text showed no such provision. Now he’s conceding revenue splits after operating costs, not after debt recovery. That’s not imprecise wording. That’s a material difference.
Full text is still not public. So we’re taking his word on a document he already mischaracterized.
Still no mention of the toll floor that stops Canada from lowering prices on its own bridge.
so from what i can see from the article… he still hasnt clarified anything?
„Should have been clearer“
He folded. Plain and simple. Then lied.
“Let me be clear” is the opening statement of patronizing Liberals
Oh, what will happen to the people who argued he didn’t lie? Will the cognitive dissonance make them reevaluate their views?
Somehow I doubt it.
What a clown show this PM is becoming
Canadian taxpayers paid for the bridge. Until the bridge is paid for in tolls there is no reason for the US to get anything. This agreement robs the people that Carney was elected to represent to appease a foreign government. Leave it closed. I have never voted Conservative
in 50 years of voting , always liberal , but after this i will actively work against the Liberals being re-elected.
Translation – I should have not lied.
He didn’t have to be clearer…he needed to tell the truth and not lie.
Are should have been clearer and not lied now considered the same thing?
I suddenly have very little faith that Carns will do anything other than bend the knee when it comes to renegotiating CUSMA. I mean, if we had to bend the knee to get this bridge deal done – a bridge we paid for, was already completed, and Michigan was on our side – then we have no hope for anything as it relates to CUSMA.
Elbows down. Knees down. Wrists limp. Carney spineless.
Carney did this because he knows the average citizen and voter doesn’t pay attention to this kind of stuff. He knows he’s playing on easy mode.
Carney is simultaneously vocally standing up to Trump (which is pissing him off) while at the same time giving up major concessions (Gordie Howe bridge, digital services tax, rolling back counter tariffs). He’s like the anti-Trump whisperer. He would almost have been better off kissing his ass like literally all the other world leaders and just waiting his term out.
Folding is bad. Lying is bad. Bullshitting is bad. Even saying he should have been clearer is just more lying.
Administration has been having some bad run here. This and the ISPs targeting pirating companies.
A few more eggs on their faces and they’re going to be out fast
So the question is. What else has he lied on that affects Canadian taxpayers?
I hope he can learn from this, and I mean that genuinely. Canada will not survive another 12 years of a prime minister and party that refuses to learn.
Lies lies lies. Carney lies
why would the liberals ever stop lying when the electorate has literally never punished them for their constant lies?
Why did he have to lie? To show Canadians that he’s „standing up to the big bully“? Because if he didn’t, I think it’s understandable that he can’t do so on this bridge issue, given that all the risks fell on us and the US just had to collect money. The US has Canada by the balls here.
