I agree. Carney had absolutely nothing to gain by getting into a confrontation with Trump, like Zelensky.
I think other countries and their leaders are realizing how to best deal with Trump. To his face, praise him and tell him what he wants to hear to stroke his ego.
Behind the scenes, try to find the adults in his administration (hard, I know), and try to find compromise to move things forward.
This was not what I was hearing from Liberals before the election result. It was all "Elbows Up!!! Stand up to Trump!!!
Again if PP had been elected and acted like that in front of Trump, effusively praising him like Carney did, you all would have pilloried him.
You were had.
Before the election the Liberals were swirling down the drain due to their horrible financial policies and corruption. Then Mark Carney, the chosen one, was anointed by the media even though he has not spent much time here since his birth.
They had no issues until Trump miraculously gave them one.....fighting against Trump and his tariffs which all of you eagerly bought into.
ELBOWS UP!!
DO NOT TRAVEL TO AMERICA
DO NOT BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS
BOO THEIR NATIONAL ANTHEM THEY ARE NOW OUR ENEMY .
And you brought them all back......the guy who was instrumental in most of the terrible financial decisions which have led to Canada's stagnated economy and failed immigration policies as Trudeau's financial advisor for the previous 5 years and the entire cabinet that had been complicit in destroying the economy of the country for the last decade......
Carney is NOT the "adult in the room", that is the spin given to you to parrot from the CBC and other Canadian networks who benefit from the largesse of Canadian government hand outs and advertising and saw a potential end to it all if PP got elected and use as a cover for the blatant humiliation that Trump delivered him in front of world media..Again, I am not saying you have to get in a public fight with Trump but assertively make your case that he still needs your products and that was NOT done or even attempted.
And he fooled you. He had no intention of fighting against Trump it was simply to give him an issue he could win an election on knowing how many Canadians suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome...and it worked. He doesnt give a shit about you or Canada. He is a globalist who has lived most of his life abroad and will now use Canada as a testing ground for WEF policies of DEI, EV mandates, climate change regulations and re institute a carbon tax. It all worked perfectly and you all got suckered. He has already decided on having a gender equal cabinet and god knows where things will go from there. He is planning to double the deficit in his 4 year plan which will continue the massive inflation as, even now food prices continue to spiral out of control even on items not affected by tariffs. But then again, its what most people in this thread would want and voted for so good luck.
Again...it may take a year or two but many of you will regret casting your vote for someone who will be destructive like Trudeau but on steroids
