If Carney fucks us, I’m going to be rightly fucking pissed.
If this is a meeting for discovery, OK. If this is a meeting to engage them more, fuck off.
This closed door meeting better have some public relay once it’s over a good solid cabinet member can leak the details.
This does not sit well with me.
If this is a meeting for discovery, OK.
Ostensibly, that’s why:
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said Roberts is speaking to cabinet about trade issues because he knows the Trump administration’s playbook.
Roberts’s book Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America includes a foreword written by U.S. Vice-President JD Vance
The PMO added it would be beneficial for cabinet to hear Roberts’s perspective and understand the White House’s priorities as the government prepares for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review next year.
Geezus. Why do you immediately think the worst? Maybe Carney wants to put this BS to bed. Is it so hard to believe he’s not in cahoots?
yes, trust is earned, not pressumed
Have you seen the border security bill?
I don’t like that it’s closed doors, but I question the framing of this article.
Like clearly Canada needs to keep negotiations with the USA open and Carney is not in control of who Trump authorizes to speak for the USA.
Canada needs to keep negotiations with the USA open
I don’t want that.
They need time. Canada IS setting up trade with other nations. It’s not going to happen overnight…
Our exports dropped 19% in Q2 this year. Diversifying 1/5th of our trade will take long enough that the responsible thing to do is salvage what trade we can from the USA in the interim.
There’s a world of difference between buyCanadian and wefuckingneedourexportsguys.
“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”. Carney has a long and distinguished career in finance and politics. He is in complete control with whom he meets. Carney is buying time and setting up alternate trade outside of USSA. This takes time.
USSA 🤔
Union of Soviet Socialist Americas?
Yeah which is weird because they are the turd Reich
I was thinking United SchutzStaffel of America.
That makes some sense. But it’s a bit of a deep cut.
TBH I had to look up what it stands for, but lots of people know of “the SS” in the context of Nazi Germany.
Yeah telltale sign of the Blue MAGA folks who somehow thing Russia is still communist or something lol
He’s in complete control of who he meets, but the way the article headline is framing it is irresponsible IMO.
As you said, Carney is setting up alternative trade partners. I’d assume part of his diversification strategy is to identify what aspects of trade specifically we need to divert away from the US due to Trump.
Can you elaborate on the “authorize” portion? This is all that’s in the article regarding why the person is speaking at the event.
Roberts is speaking to Carney’s cabinet during a session dubbed “establishing a new economic and security relationship with the U.S.” They will also hear from Kevin Rudd, Australia’s ambassador to the U.S., during the session.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said Roberts is speaking to cabinet about trade issues because he knows the Trump administration’s playbook.

He knows that playbook because he was in the room when it was written.
I hope this meeting is not what it looks like on the surface.
There is no part of the heritage foundation agenda that I want to have any influence in Canada.
It already does have influence in Canada, PP and Alberta are the biggest threats because of this.
If taking to this jagoff makes it easier to deal with The Trump administration, that’s a good thing. Forewarned is forearmed
I’m fortunately that’s the rose coloured glasses version of this meeting though.
I hate this timeline
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said Roberts is speaking to cabinet about trade issues because he knows the Trump administration’s playbook.
And what exactly is this guy’s motivation to share that information with us? Just out of the kindness of his heart? The guy quoted in this very article as saying the US was in the midst of a,
“second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Yeah, that’s a stand up guy who I definitely trust to tell me the truth. Come the fuck on.
Carney meeting with the nazis
If you are at meeting that has a nazi, you are at a meeting between nazi’s.
Just like if you are at a gathering and there is a nazi there, you are at a meeting between nazi’s.
Know your enemy.
Oh, and I suppose the enemy is going to give you good info?
This is nonsense. You don’t sit down with fascists. Easiest rule. This is unconscionable.
Tell them you won’t meet with them, that should smooth everything over!
Even a top Trudeau advisor is telling the press that it’s “mind-boggling” that he was invited
The next person that says “strategic voting” within earshot is getting knocked out, I swear to god. This is so beyond the pale
Amen.
Never a good reason, it only delays bad shit until it’s even worse and cripples the opposition you wanted all along. Strategic voting is dogshit in every way.
Capitulating Capitalist Carney will always put monied interests above those of the people. Once a banker, always a banker.
He’s no Polyestre, that’s for sure. Phew.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Theil is behind project 2025 and is the child rapist trumps puppeteer. There is no reason in the universe to invite that vile scum. If he does I am writing Carney off 100%.
Fuck.
Edit typo
Y’know you keep giving them handouts, they’ll keep coming back.
The 4 principles of their ideology contradict each other and it threatens blood if the left doesn’t allow it. Jesus Christ.
So according to them, being logical make me “the left” and they’re going to stab me. Oh boy.
its clearly a big brain ambush move and they’ll take him as ransom
Maybe he’ll get shot and killed?
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Yeah the guy who ran on opposing Trump and supporting workers who immediately folded to Trump and ratfucked the flight attendants definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Capitulation Carney.
I’ll join you in that chant when I’m convinced it’s not a gross oversimplification that ignores developments not covered in the media.
As much as I’d rather socialist domestic policies, I acknowledge that in realpolitik terms we don’t exist in a void or have the luxury of ignoring the influence of neo-fascists like the USA.
You: Maybe we can sit down with fascists just a bit
You are acting like they are signing a weapons deal.
Do you want Canada to close its US embassies too?
Real life isn’t black and white.
Lol yeah you’re right, it’s cool, just inviting the author of a document so heinous that even Donald fucking Trump had to distance himself from it in order to get elected, totally normal
Damn, glad he distanced himself, wouldn’t want them to think Donny has bad friends.
Wtf are you even saying? Lol.
When asked during the campaign if Project 2025 was his agenda, Trump said he had never heard of it. This was widely reported, so I’m not sure why you’re confused about what I wrote
there’s two things that EVERYONE should be able to recognize about Trump, but really just boils down to one simple fact : he always says the opposite of what is true.
-
when he says “nobody knows more about this than me,” what he REALLY means is “i am completely clueless about this subject”
-
when he says “never heard of it,” he is VERY involved.
-
Oh damn. You’re right. That’s what known liar, felon and rapist said. How could anyone doubt him?
When I first said this about him I was hoping he was just playing the long game, getting less and less sure
