Small numbers of troops from European countries — including Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Britain — are being deployed to the Arctic island.
Was a pipe dream to think Carney would stand up to the orange menace.
I thought we were invited. To me, this is a Carney L for Canada until demonstrated otherwise (edit: sorry, I realized I’m talking in sports clichés: an L is a loss, like a W is a win)
We already have a contingent going for a preplanned exercise.
What we are not doing is stationing additional troops there indefinitely. Probably because we need them here for when that orange moron listens to Navarro or Miller again.
Feeling strongly about whether this is an L or a W is insane, on top of the inherent problem of being that black and white simplistic.
First of all, you are basing your knowledge off of random news articles you read. Assuming the PM is competent, they will be making decisions based on intelligence reports that both include everything you know, and a whole crapload of stuff you don’t.
He’s literally playing a game of Diplomacy, against a mad man backed by demons. Give him some space to cook.
While it’s not clear from the article why Canada is not joining its allies, it certainly doesn’t look very good. If Canada does not have veey good reasons, it’s essentially defecting from the alliance and thereby siding with the aggressors.
“He’s playing 4D chess” he’s letting a demented senior boss him around and he doesn’t care because he’s too busy selling off our natural resources and trying to bust union strikes. Carney’s a fucking idiot conservative who I have zero trust in.
If he really wanted to bolster us against the rise of fascism he’d give us the election reform we were promised a decade ago. He doesn’t give a shit about that.

As I understand it:

There are those people - deranged from a lack of coastline and mountains - who would slag Carney no matter what he did here.
Ah, the same people that dont know that Canada lost five refineries(at least!) When Conservative Mulroney signed NAFTA.
And now, Washington state has no income tax because of that, because they gained said refineries.

No. This is a democracy and I reserve the right to criticize leadership, thanks.
Criticism isn’t inherently a bad thing.
Uninformed criticism is.
And I have the right to criticize the over confident and under informed.
Yeah, obviously. When you hit me with this obsequious bullshit, though?
I’m going to tell you to stuff it.
In response to the confident claim that he made the wrong move in a game where the claimant knows less then half the relevant information.
Again, if you feel strongly that his is an L or a W, you’re probably a moron.
What happened to ‘Elbows up,’ eh?
