Can someone explain to me

  1. Why does he think Trump the yaphead would ever shut up about anything ever
  2. What good are “bilateral talks” with someone that can’t keep their word anyway ?

What is the point here trying to show everyone just how much of a illequipped, stay-the-course, liberal empty suit he is and how he’s going to boldly going to try to “do the same thing we’ve always done except not woke this time and hope it keeps working”

Don’t these people understand that the US is only good at one thing and it’s eating liberal banking stiffs alive ?

Are they trying to lose on purpose ?

    You should put your stilted commentary as a comment so we can upvote the article and downvote your ridiculous hot take.

      Yeah what an awful take. The pm says I’m not gonna waste time while he’s making these comments. And op says what an empty lib threat.

      Sounds like op wants Canada to join the US

        On the contrary I think we should be buying enough top of the line ATGMs to give American tank columns the “ukrainian welcome” when their tanks are stuck in 401 traffic.

        I am offended by how bad this Carney guy is playing the liberal “head-in-the-sand” “if we don’t move maybe the predator will go away”

        Obviously another excuse to give us absolutely nothing and let smol PP le poilus have his stupid slogans about housing costs while Carney gets tangled, failed in advance fake negociations with the americans.

        He thinks just taking down the woke flag and cutting carbon tax is enough, he is sadly mistaken. In fact, I cannot believe any competent political operator could make this mistake. They know very well to bleed us dry and if that means the convervatives meat-heads will be the ones to do it, that’s all right with them too. Either way their stock portfolio will be fine, Canadian or American.

        Don’t mistake my criticism of this empty suit as support for any of the other awful, do nothing political parties.

      Yeah. Carney may be a vanilla Liberal PM but he’s playing this right. He’s not engaging with Trump on Trump’s terms. He’s telling Trump to shut the fuck up about annexing Canada or there’s no discussion to be had.

      There is no going back, there will not be negociations, the americans want to loot us and it’s just a matter of not letting them. There will not be adults in the room and this “be nice Donald and keep your yapper shut until we have talks” is worrying if sincere and insulting if cynical. In either case it exposes this guy as the obvious empty banking mercenary suit that is almost certainly is. This is once again liberal just handing over all the ammunitions to the “bad cop” of this “two party one system” so we can get reamed for 4 years of Donald while they keep their hands clean.

      The establishment is making them bet that “now that we’re under attack we’ll rally around the flag and not elect a system-smashing demagogue”. That’s how they WANT to lose.

      There is a multiplicity of options to give Donald a bloody nose and make the american enter the Find Out stage of their fucking around. I’m really disappointed special operations didn’t pull the plug on them during the superb owl!

    Well Trunp has already wiped his ass with CUSMA, and his word / signature is utterly worthless on international documents. Carney should NOT sit down with fascists liars who can’t not lie. Even if Trunp dials down (which he won’t) he’ll just turn around two seconds later and start up again with the 51st obscenity. I agree with Carney icing him out. Fuck the US.

      Carney is probably the smartest man at the big table right now and he knows how to play the game.

      This is gonna be interesting to watch.

        Yes defintely. And I’m here for it. I heard part of a podcast today with someone who had worked with Carney and it was very enlightening. He’s a hard ass. The podcast was the most recent episode of One’s and Tooze and he talks about his experience working with Carney at minute 8 onwards.

    If this is the best excuse for spin that you conservative shills can come up with, I almost feel sorry for you because it’s so incredibly pathetic.

    I don’t feel sorry for you though. Apply for a green card and gtfo out of my country, OP.

        And it will expose them as either invaders or people who can’t be trusted, or both. Either way Canada is under no obligation to negotiate because we have an agreement in place (which trump violated) and so were free to keep making deals with other countries while the US owns itself.

    This post is trash, I’m lucky I clicked to read the dumb comment. I scrolled read it and up voted because it made sense. I then clicked and saw the dumb comment part of it, so I had to down vote it.

    As someone that’s lived in Alberta for several years this is the dumbest take I’ve seen. What Carney’s trying to do is to shift the focus and reestablish discussions for actual trade negotiations. Carney’s choosing not to play by the dictator’s narcisstic rules.

    1. What good are “bilateral talks” with someone that can’t keep their word anyway ?

    Then logically your first quesiton doesn’t matter anyway.

      Yes, I am doubly questionning this

      How could a politician believe Trump would back down from such limp wristed grandstanding ? Of course they don’t

      And “bilateral talks”, there will not be talk, the dictator will tell us their terms and we will tell them to go sit on a maple leaf and spin. We already know the American are acting in bad faith. To humor them is to cede ground to them.

        We arent humoring them. Carney is basically saying come back and try talking with us when you’re ready to behave like a civilized adult leader instead of a child throwing a tantrum.

            You need to have your hearing checked. Carney has declared that he will not waste his time talking to Trump. You agree talking to Trump would be a waste of time. Where’s the problem?

    1. What Carney thinks Trump’s going to do doesn’t matter tbh. Carney’s the new kid on the block, and he’s showing he won’t entertain “Governor Trudeau” nonsense for even a second. The more Carney lets Trump do sideshows like with Zelenskyy that is going to tank the Liberal’s soaring approval.

    2. Despite the abject moron at the other end of the agreement, Carney’s handling of a decades old partnership is also in the spotlight. Even if unrealistic or impossible to some degree (though I sense Canadian sympathy to Carney’s situation), there are expectations on Carney not to unilaterally blow up the relationship Canadians and Americans have with each other unreasonably.

    Stay the course? He’s already canceled the carbon tax. Although I’m not sure why he thinks dumb dumb would keep his mouth shut because he asked him to. Probably not gonna work out well for him. He should just talk down to him the same way Trump does to us. He’s smarter than Trump so shouldn’t be hard.
