    Oh look, a politician actually working

    Edit: this was not meant to sound like a jab at carney. lol

  2. That’s awesome he can work on that while the rest of his cabinet can work on making things affordable again.

    I read somewhere that groceries are gonna go up around $1000 more this year, like that gotta stop.

    Me & the family are planning on growing alot more stuff this year for sure

  3. Nothing to see here, just doing his job we elected him to do.

    Remember to hold the cabinet ministers accountable for running their portfolio as they should.

    And we, the people, should hold our premiers responsible for their affairs in the provinces. They are not doing enough.

    Carney’s approach this year has to be 2 fold. First get as many trade deals signed as possible to keep the economy growing. So for all the people saying where’s the action, well he’s flying to countries and attending forums to bring investment and trade deals for Canada. He can’t do that sitting in the PM’s office. Second is the domestic agenda has to be a bigger priority. The Conservatives will hammer this every time he travels on these trade missions. He’s going to have to deliver something tangible for the Canadian public. It will be an interesting year to say the least.

    He’s trying to find buyers. And as anyone who has managed salesmen can tell you “i don’t want to fucking see your face in the office unless you’re bringing a customer”

  6. The chosen one sets forth on the great pilgrimage, to find alliances in far away lands. May the spirit of the Canadian Geese watch over him.

    The sad thing reading these comments is that many conservatives are just like the republicans. Hating the other side no matter what. I voted liberal but have voted for all parties at one point. Even green. Learn from the usa. Divisions don’t help. Canada needs to work together.

    When Carney first started on the road to the Liberal leadership, I said he reminded me of former New Brunswick Premier (and now TD Bank deputy chair) Frank McKenna. He’s reminding me of the McKenna years every day.

    Frank McKenna from 1987-1997 in New Brunswick was a tireless advoocate for getting the New Brunswick economy going. Arguably, although he’s now in Ontario, he still is. The period that followed in the 1990s and early 2000s was generally very good for the province.

    If Mark Carney can duplicate that kind of performance for Canada we’ll see results. They might largely come later in this term of even after he leaves office but we’ll see definite improvements. He’s more than 20 years older than McKenna was when he started but that doesn’t seem to slow him down much. We need someone to be a “brand ambassador” for Canada in order to make the next decade a winning one I’m more convinced than ever this is the team that can do it.

  9. I shit you not. I’ve already seen people trying to bot, they are mad about him using a plane on Canada’s dollar to advance Canadian economic interests lololol.

    The US bots get lazier and lazier every day.

  10. Well he/somebody better get something although we do pretty close to putting 75% over the border
    and our largest trading partner

  11. Isn’t it his job?
    Sounds like “trucker spent thousands on diesel – driving across Canada”

    The world outside of the US is attempting to create new trade routes where they can eliminate the US threat of Tariffs. That’s what they meant by a new world order… new world trade routes without the US.

    The big orange is going to end up collapsing that country. Is it any wonder Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times since 1999. Yeah… that’s a successful businessman.

  13. This is what he’s good at. He’s the economics PhD. Let him do his thing.
    Also, he’s a pretty good public speaker.

  14. Great! That’s what a PM should do. Champion our country to other countries and build relationships.

  15. >A leader leads from in front, by the power of example.
    A ruler pushes from behind, by means of the club, the whip, the power of fear.

    India. Top 3 AI developer in the world. Key requirements are lithium and gallium- Ontario is sole producer of Gallium in North America. Manitoba/Quebec produce lithium.

    Australia- Canadian expertise in mining technology, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure. Apparently they like our pork too.

    Brazil and more of South America. Aerospace, agriculture, mining, potash, AI

    Mexico, pork, canola, wheat, and beef. investing in their auto, mining, agriculture, indigenous collaboration,

    Japan: Key imports include mineral fuels (coal, liquefied propane gas), critical minerals (copper, nickel, iron), agricultural products (canola, wheat, pork, soy), and forest products

    Carney was right when he said we are an energy superpower. We have a lot to offer and in key growing areas.

    Nostalgia is not a strategy. We can’t continue to hope for the relationship that was. It is better to forge relationships with other like-minded countries.

  18. I heard Joly on her WEF panel say that we’re an auto nation, despite not having any car companies of our own. Instead of travelling the world, let’s work on that.
