How can we not shift or adjust our foreign policy with Trump at the helm?
It is only prudent to do so, and I bet most countries are feeling the same way

It was a historic speech. Good on him!

It was pretty apparent it was shifting even before Trudeau stepped down. It’s just more official now.

His message was more for Canadians than the WEF billionaires.

We all know this .. it’s been written in the walls. Finally someone said it “”We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim,” the prime minister said.”

I’m interested in what the next decade looks like for everything Canadian. In the last six months I’ve even felt a cultural shift locally.
Like American culture is just so fucking loud, we started to lose our identity in the midst of their crazy bullshit. Their politics, their weird wedges. All the “woke / anti-woke”, that’s all American fixations. Their political commentators. Movies. Authoritarian issues. On and on.
I’m excited to really re-engage with our distinct culture of collaboration and respect that I remember being more active when I was much younger.

It was perhaps the most impressive speech I’ve ever seen a Canadian prime minister give. It’s great to have a competent adult at the helm. I shudder to think how Trudeau or Poilievre would have handled this.

Carney hit a grand slam today, proud of our leader standing up to the bully down south without really antagonizing him

Never prouder to be a Canadian. That’s *my* Prime Minister.
It won’t be easy but I trust his hand on the tiller.

He was a rock star. I couldn’t be more proud to be represented this way as a Canadian. He’s smart, calm, and well-spoken. He said all the right things with hope and without naming names or swooping to some negative level.
He’s cool. He gives me something to aspire to.
We are so lucky to be the most educated country on Earth because I can’t imagine how broken we’d be with PP at the helm.

Man did we get the last election right or what? I’m so glad he’s our leader at this time and not that rat fucker who’d be selling us out right now.

I’ve never called myself a liberal, and I don’t think that sides matter at this point in history, but I support the hell out of this man.

I didn’t vote for Carney and have numerous issues with many of his policies. I cannot criticize a thing about this speech.

The developed democracies of the world need to be better intergrating their trade/economies and forming an ecomonic and military alliance outside of the US hub and spoke system. That includes Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea (though the latter two are going to be a challenge in getting into the same alliance).
lifeismusicmike on
One thing is sure PP can’t give good speeches like Carney does. All he knows is to complain about the other party. You never ear what he plans to do, its just complaining all the time. He’s like Trump and our own uneducated gobble what he regurgitates.

No? Thats always the plan as far as when he first announce he’s going to run for leadership?
JoJack82 on
“Signal”? No, he stated as clear as day that the world has changed and we are taking steps to deal with the new world. He also did it carefully by using words bigger than 5 letters so Trump won’t even know what they mean.
BPD-lover69 on
Meanwhile there’s a group in Alberta getting signatures to separate on the guise of becoming our own county , yes I’m from here, however this group is in regular talks with the trump administration. Likely to negotiate becoming a state of USA. I’m Albertan, a Canadian never an American!

His speech should be surprise to no Canadian. He has been saying the same thing very consostenly at other forums and he has clearly been walking the talk.
I saw the speech more like a call to other countries to wake up and realise that placating Trump will lead them nowhere.
I also think he kind of offered to lead the willing countries towards a new world order post US hegemony.
Sad_Damage_1194 on
He only articulated what observant people are seeing and actively discussing. There’s a change in how we are positioning our nation and it’s smart.
samanthasgramma on
A great speech is a great speech, no matter who gives it, and he did it well. He was, ultimately, an adult. And it’s a good look, and I’m proud to be Canadian.
We have slid into complacency. It’s been easy to just run with being the little brother of the USA.
But the trust is gone. Whether or not a CDN wants to be 51st, or you will fight to the death to avoid it … the fact is that, in my 60ish CDN years, this is a new place to be. It’s a very new place.
Carney did wonderfully. It’s what he DOES about it, and what coming PMs choose to do about it … that’s the part that really counts.
Still an excellent speech, though.

Beyond_Your_Nose on
Loved the speech. Landmark. I worry about the USA I see a lot of turmoil and I truly feel for the people being pulled from homes for no good reason other than the colour of their skin. They are sewing chaos to pressure countries out of fear. With Trumps eyes on Greenland and Canada, we can’t bend a knee and make deals giving away our resources to appease him, because I truly believe that’s all Trump wants. We will be weaker and financially overrun and subservient to USA. We need people like Carney to call him out, say we are looking elsewhere and create our own leverage. He put it so eloquently, I highly recommend people watch the whole speech.

No. He’s adopted this since he assumed office.

As an Aussie, you guys have a good one. I mean I liked Trudeau a lot, but Carney has a way with words and eloquence, and intelligence. His speech brought me to tears, it really moved me but mostly because it feels like the first time in 20+ years I’ve listened to a leader who speaks plainly and isn’t on some verbal facade errand telling you simply the bits you *need* to know.

“When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness,” Carney said. “We accept what’s offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating. This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”
FUCK YES!
This speech was spectacular and showed a strength Canada has not expressed for some time.
Can’t say I’ve been so impressed by a PMs speech (of any sort) quite this strongly before. I’m very proud.
And very nervous living in southern Ontario so close to the border.
GingerBeast81 on
I wonder how different this speech would be if pp had won instead of Carney… It’s nice to have an adult in the room.
hipbs23 on
As an American watching he set y’all up to create something new and better and ensuring your not tied to this sinking ship. It also felt like Canada stepping up and leading and I hope other European leaders do the same. I for one am happy to see someone stand up and fight. It gives me hope that the growing internal fight and the global one can’t happen together.
miata90na on
I think a lot of countries/leaders have been trying to play it safe. Coast under the radar until things get back to normal. Hoping Dumpster won’t notice they have something he wants.
Playing possum only works for a minute. It WILL be your turn in the hot seat sooner than later. The US appetite is one that will never be quenched now that the faux diplomacy has been abandoned.
This is the wake up call that it is NEVER going back to the way it was.

Less a signal and more a great speech that did everything but name DJT.
It’s [not the first time](https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/americas/canada-trump-tariffs-response-latam-intl) he’s made these comments. Today’s speech was a much more refined way of communicating what he has before.
