Ugh the glazing continues. Trudeau was so much more effective at dealing with Trump and he did so in a manner that allowed us to keep some semblance of national pride.
Anyways, just another puff piece from Bloomberg, an organization Carney was the chair of prior to throwing his hat in the ring for PM. At least they rightfully point out that he leads a minority government, something that I honestly don’t think he truly understands himself
Elbows up, am I right?
In all seriousness I still find it hard to believe Carney ran on a “tough in the corners” election campaign with the United States when the guy has done nothing of the sort with Trump.
Ooof, that quote.
HIs strategy of highlighting the interconnectedness of the economies might not work. Since Trump seems very willing to harm his own economy for perceived long term gain. It’s very Trump 1.0 and I just don’t think it’ll work.
It does go into the tonal shift away from „elbows up“, that it just wasn’t working and that we only one of two countries doing that.
It’s a decent interview that goes into some tough questions. I do feel like I’ve heard his answers before. After listening to it, I don’t think I’ve changed my opinion of how he’s doing so far. I like his work within Canada, *mostly*, and internationally, but have grown skeptical on his American approach.
Trump glazing is … ugh. But saying „Trump is a senile jackass who’s destroying the US economy and Canada’s along with it“ during a high stakes trade negotiation may not be the best idea.
I feel like most of the commenters here read the headline and not the article. Here is what was said immediately after:
“You always learn things from people.
I don’t fully subscribe to this, but I see the effectiveness, the value of “flooding the zone,” of doing multiple things at the same time. I think that he has a very effective way, in his own almost unique manner, of framing issues and of dominating the agenda.”
I mean… would anyone disagree with this? This ‘flood the zone (with shit)’ strategy has been a staple of republicans for as long as MAGA has taken the party over, if not longer. Steve Bannon literally coined the term when advising the Trump administration. And it’s worked out swimmingly for them.
Recognizing their strategy has been working for them is not glazing. Nor is saying you are learning from someone you are ideologically opposed to. Frankly, I’d argue that if you aren’t doing that, you have no hope in opposing them effectively.
It seems like a lot of the users here just turn off their brains when engaging with the topic of what Canada needs to do with the U.S’ rapid fall to a kleptocracy.
