If Carney ditched the confiscation plan he would have had a majority no problem.
He seems to be an ok PM so far, but has allowed himself to be dragged down by garbage he inherited instead of just agreeing it’s trash and scraping it.

I can’t believe how the canada is broken edge lord class is hating his speech and the mental gymnastics they are applying. Just leave and go to the US promised land if you hate it here so much.
Edit: I think my point is being a bit misunderstood. You can disagree with some of the characterization and wish Carney would focus more domestically, that’s fine. I’m referring to people who genuinely hate his speech because Davos, WEF, Vaccines, FrEeDoM, etc.

This dude is about to restart mass immigration and open housing to foreign buyers again isn’t he?

Canadians should be wary that since this happened, many Americans are online pretending to be Canadian and trying to shift public opinion away from any sort of united front.
They outnumber us online 10:1, so it’s more important than ever to be politically informed so that misinformation doesn’t take root in our spaces.
Especially after the China meeting there has been such an extreme outburst and so much misinformation, when all the “deal” really did was reverse mutually destructive tariffs and re-establish free trade.
Those tariffs were implemented in the first place due to US pressure and protected American corporations market share at the expense of Canadian farmers and consumers.

>On the snowy streets of Toronto, retired race walker Ann Peel said… Carney’s speech was powerful because it articulated a fundamentally different world view than that of the U.S.
“We’re very values-based,” she said.
Yeah, I’m convinced 99% of the people singing the praises of this speech didn’t understand a word of it.

Absolutely! Am a proud Canadian. Did not support Trudeau for a number of reasons but Carney is a critical thinker and is dealing with things slowly. No one and nothing is perfect but it’s a really good start in these uncertain times

The more time goes by and events unfold, the more I’m glad we dodged a bullet by not electing PP. I can’t imagine what his version of that speech would be like.

I’m a centrist and could have gone either way last election but the last month or so of his foreign policy decisions and his performance on the world stage and handling Trump is why I voted for him. I have gripes domestically, but this is what is important right now.

Was a great speech.
But how about the cost of living back home?
Why is my house so expensive still?
Why is my food bill still so high?
Why am i making a household income of 180k and still paycheque to paycheque?
I don’t care for great speeches i care for results from our politicians.

Any notion that you can sign a deal with someone who doesn’t honor contracts or agreements, is ludicrous.
Trump doesn’t want a deal. He wants submission.
Trump is pissed his mafia-style shakedown of Canada isn’t going as planned.

I listened to Trump’s speech also and was reminded why it’s important that we actually listen to our politicians entire speeches instead of just snippets of TikTok or American media outlets that cut out the parts that make their opinion seem worse. I implore you all to listen to the guy and then go back and listen to the threats for Greenland last year. It’s nearly the same shit.
I know for a lot of us it’s to the point that everything he says and does is fucking insufferable for the past decade now but just listen to what he is saying. A lot of it is the exact same bullshit he was spewing at this time last year and it’s clearly because he’s in the middle stages of long-term dementia. It’s actually really sad that they keep dragging this geriatric fuck out on stage to constantly say the same shit over and over again because his brain can’t do anything else. I have no doubt the guy is gonna fucking rot in hell when all is said and done, but there is no dignity in seeing even the worst person on the planet slowly decay in front of cameras.

I sent a message to him saying that if it’s possible I’m even more proud to be a Canadian after his speech.

Carney was and is brilliant.
Trump, whose Davos performance received only a tepid response, is now threatening to annex or invade Iceland if he is not awarded Carney’s standing ovation.

But the 35 year old Lib-hating unemployed highschool dropout with four kids and $20k+ in tattoos guy I’m friends with on Facebook shared a picture explaining that Carney’s speech proves once again that he’s an elitist who’s going to sell out the country! wAkE uP cAnAdA!

The contrast between the two couldn’t have been clearer. We have a true statesman at the helm. Proud of our PM.

I was on the treadmill at the gym absently eyeing the headlines when parts of his speech came on the news. I was stunned. It was absolutely brilliant and a clarion call for our era. So many countries have been so lost, terrified of Trump, trying to appease him. And it hasn’t worked because he has contempt for ‘weakness.’
This was the moment when we desperately needed someone with the gravitas of a Mark Carney to stride onto the world stage and give everyone the blueprint we need to fight back.
I’m so proud of our prime minister. And I’m so proud of Canadians for voting him. We did this together. And now we have to face Trump together.

Carney’s speech resembled some of the greatest, and most famous speeches from the WWII era.
Trump’s speech sounded like pie-night at the dementia unit at a retirement home.

He had 80% support ‘before’ the speech 🇨🇦👍😊

Carney, measured and thoughtful, gave us a moment of clarity and a proposal for forging pragmatic alliances between “middle power”nations. Trump, raging and threatening, is the perfect symbol for the rapid decline of the American empire.

Carney’s speech was great! “Nostalgia is not a strategy.” Damn straight.

Can’t wait for todays Canada Tariff announcement.
