      Thank goodness we have a strong, intelligent leader right now. Skippy Poliviere would have been grovelling at Trumps feet.

      Carney could potentially be Canadas’s most important PM ever by being in charge during this time of transition and redefining of the world order

      Kind of buried the lede there:

      “The rules-based international order, on which countries like Canada have depended for their security and prosperity since the end of World War Two, is fading, Carney warned… ‘Let me be direct: we are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.’”

      Do those supporting gun buy back and also believe a US military invasion of Canada is incoming have a plan for personal defense and resistance?

      If you had your own nukes, they wouldn’t be pulling this shit. Also, close the border ASAP.

      Trump ran businesses into bankruptcy, including a casino. Carney ran Canada’s central bank through the 2008 crash and the UK’s through Brexit. One struggled with companies, the other stabilized economies. That’s the difference.

      Now we just need European leaders to find alignment among themselves.

      Trump is counting on them not being able to act with a unified voice.

      The world is watching.

      Damn that was good. He said something I didn’t get the start of, but the last part was perfect. I hope someone can tell me the start. He said you were either ( something ) or you were on the menu.

      That’s the spirit! Now, how each country responds? – It looks like we have a political commitment to sovereignty, past that?

      I’m a conservative, but Carney continues to win me over with every major speech he makes. He’s such a massive step up from our previous PM.

      We have such an good Prime Minister for this. You could not ask for better. Well spoken, harvard Ph.D economist who led the Central Bank of England.

      Like we may have the best leader in the world right now

      We can oppose the tariffs all we want sadly our economic dependence on the USA is strong. The USA knows that. Canada would experience a drop in standard of living the farther we go from what the USA wants us to do. The USA knows that and will do all that rhey can to use it against us. It depends now on who has the deeper to resist. Does Canada? Not sure. Depends on the level of hurt it’s citizens are willing to entertain

      Personally, I liked it when he said:

      “Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu,”

      Up to now, I have not seen much to like in Carney. But I like this speech, and only hope the Liberal Party can live up to its principles. If so, I might even be persuaded to vote for him one day. But fine words don’t butter parsnips – or put another way, actions speak louder than words.
