Absolutely agree with you @Euphonious_Polemic. In fact, Carney, from the outset, very clearly and unambiguously said that everything about our past relationship with the US “is over”. So yes, how did you get:
Also, I’m not a “liberal supporter” who “got what they wanted, another Liberal government”. I’m a guy who has, at different times, voted Green, Conservative, and Liberal. This time I voted Liberal because I didn’t want “another Liberal government”. This time I voted Liberal because I wanted Mark Carney’s government and I most definitely did not want Pierre Poilievre’s government.
Unfortunately, your post is so based on one assumption - that anyone who voted Liberal wanted “another Liberal government” - that it is patently inaccurate. If you had been following the news leading up to our last federal election you should know that, had Trudeau not stepped down, the Canadian voters would likely have elected PP.
Indeed. This was patently obvious, and discussed in the news at the time ad nauseum. Sometimes people engage in historical revisionism in order to bolster their preferred thesis.
Usually though, they don’t try it out a mere 7 months later - because many folks actually can remember that far back.
And now we find out that Doug Ford (Conservative Premier) is actually a secret Liberal supporter too! How deep down does this conspiracy go? Wake up sheeple!
Yes, and the WS is airing on Fox, no less! It’s one of the rare times we can be thankful that a corporation is placing financial profit above all else.
Specifically, if not already said explicitly, Trump has now called for an additional 10% tariff to be placed since the ad was not taken down soon enough.
Reagan did not like tariffs. Most economists don’t.
Depends where you are. Here in Canada, I’m getting the WS on Sportsnet. I suppose I could get it on Fox (I do get a couple of Fox channels from the US), but Sportsnet has the Jays’ same announcers they’ve had all season, so I’ll stick with them.
Spending money is capitalism and understanding the downside of tariffs is basic free-market economics - two things that apparently drive what’s his name up the wall.
And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I’m for member’s of parliament and governments finding ways to get along while still protecting the interests of the people of their ridings (all the people, btw, not just those who voted for them).
But don’t act like they aren’t ‘pals’ or wouldn’t collude together and that Ford wouldn’t cross the aisle if it suited him or given incentive to do so.
As Carney was elected after a decade of liberal mis-rule based entirely upon Trump’s actions, it doesn’t hurt him if trump is upset and acting out. If anything, it benefits him and the liberal party the more he is incensed. Clear enough?
That is not at all clear, no. You seem to be saying that Ford is irritating Trump in order to benefit the Liberals, but that seems very convoluted. Switching parties would be a much more straightforward way to accomplish that goal.
But some people prefer conspiracy theories that support their worldview to reality that doesn’t, so you do you.
I don’t think many people here are going to buy the conspiracy theory you are selling. It is illogical and ridiculous in the face of the evidence.
Also, you might actually look at Carney as an individual before judging him by his party. He seems pretty conservative to me, Canadian-style, though not the new American-export brand of conservative now being pushed in Alberta.
Yeah. I don’t think that you can look at Canada’s Liberals and Conservatives as America’s Democrats and Republicans, respectively, no matter how much Pierre Poilievere and Danielle Smith wish you could. Carney also seems pretty conservative to me. Remember, he’s an economist with an impressive resumé, and I think that he’s not about to throw his reputation away just to appear liberal (note the small “l”).
And? What has he actually done so far that has benefited Canadians? Trump Whisperer? The tariffs are higher than they were when he started. When will people realize that he’s a bureaucrat and not a leader? That most of his investments are not in Canada, but elsewhere? That he isn’t interested in the development of Canada but its deindustrialization that feeds his net-zero agenda. That the reason that Canada is in this mess is not because of Trump but because of the hampering of our productivity and competitiveness that Carney isn’t doing anything to fix?
Who is pushing this? Other than Liberals themselves to divide people.
Again, Liberals (the left in general) are pushing this, not the two people mentioned.
