    I’ll believe it when I see it - Carney doesn’t seem to actually have done anything so far.

      He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.

        Do you think we can go without trading with the US? They can go without us but we cannot go without them it is just not feasible

          I imagine that Russia was Ukraine’s biggest trading partner before 2012. Reducing trade with Russia probably didn’t seem feasible to some ukrainians before the war started.

          The newly authoritarian US is threatening our country. What choice do we have but to reduce trade with them? I know Canada will be much poorer now that we have been betrayed by our former ally, but i would rather be poor than under that shithead’s boot.

        Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.

          Are you going to demand that you get out of the trade deficit you have with your grocer of choice?

          Why not? Are you to afraid that capitalism would then be replaced with communism? It is important that you understand what Trump is talking about before you echo him.

          Exactly. funny how telling the truth here gets you more down votes than up votes. says a lot about the crowd here. Have you seen the Moose on the Loose Mark Carney Chart it has all his investments and ties to China and just about every thing you could want to know is there, If you have a question check HERE https://x.com/dsimieritsch/status/1968058733449375822

      Always assess Mark’s results against Polyestre’s predicted path: subjugation and the 51st state.

      Carney is very bad at communicating and informing Canadians. He likes to keep everything private until there are results to publish. It keeps me worried that he’s accomplishing nothing and my confidence in his abilities is very low considering how he’s folded all the hands we actually held.
