Yes, Carney is un-serious about dealing with problems & making any real progress FOR Canada. It's like he's putting in the minimum & just trying to avoid the worst flare-ups, likely with plans to retire from the political office early on, at an opportune lull in Canada's huge de line & fall. He do patently doesn't give a damn what happens to Canada. This is just another impressive (& failed) entry on his CV/resume.
Typically a liberal Poster will try and manipulate data to propose factually incorrect information that looks good. Rather than spend your time whining about Trump perhaps you should look at the pathetic 11 year record of massive spending, debt and inflation, continued by Mr Carney, aptly nicknamed ‘carnage’
For the record :
“Approximately 161 million people were registered to vote in the 2020 presidential election and roughly 96.3% ballots were submitted, totaling 158,427,986 votes. Roughly 81 million eligible voters did vote “
Trump negotiates like a mafia don. "Nice economy, too bad if something were to happen to it."
To say what he is doing is hard negotiation is to call a Honey Badger a nice kitty. The man has no clue about economics, financial or monetary policies or trade. You only have to look at what he believes about other countries paying tariffs to the US.
As for Trump working every day, the bill to the taxpayers for his golf outings says otherwise. He's certainly not working for the betterment of the country, but rather for betterment of his net worth. His cabinet is made up of former Fox News hosts, Campaign donors, fellow Billionaires, ant totally unqualified but loyal sycophants. You can see how bad his choices have been in the chaos that happens on an almost hourly basis. Hegseth making policy decisions without consulting the WH. A rogue senior Pentagon advisor undercutting Hegseth. A total incompetent head of DHS that spends half her time cosplaying and the other half fucking up royally to the point that people have died.
Lutnick is tone deaf, completely out of touch with the lower and middle class concerns. He actually said if his mother didn't get her SS cheque, she wouldn't complain about it. She'd be ok waiting for it. He ignores the fact that her son is a billionaire who can help out financially.
Bessent is either a total sycophant, or too afraid to contradict Trump, or is just ignorant.
So yes, Trump is a bully. Worse, he's a bully who is in rapid cognitive and physical decline. His cabinet is a collection of unqualified ass kissers who have no clue what they are doing. And prices in the US are not getting better, and will soon get worse.
This is exactly what the leftwing media, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc., tell their readers, viewers, listeners. All lies and propaganda…but you (Canadian Liberals) eat it all up because it’s repeated on CBC, CTV & Global. I know you well, and I don’t see any hope. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it’s a real disease.
You don't know me at all so spare me your pseudo psychological assessment. I am a centrist, not a liberal or conservative. And just so you understand correctly, TDS is not an affliction of the non-MAGA. It is an affliction of the MAGA Cult, who constantly refresh themselves on the orange coloured Kool-Aid. They are susceptible to every means of gaslighting, manipulation and falsehoods that come forth from Trump and his sycophantic partners in crime. It can also afflict lemmings and sheep. The only treatment for TDS is learning to think independently for yourself. Questioning everything you are told by either the left or the right, and educate yourself using non-biased information and sources independent of the two sides.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. That is all.
I’d like to see you function on typically 3hrs. of sleep with as many irons in the fire as Trump has. What other global leader has seriously taken on negotiating peace on multiple fronts like he has? Sure leaves a lot of time for golfing, doesn’t it? At least we know where he is & that’s more than we can say for Conman Carney & his predecessor toddler Trudope!
First, your use of the word "seriously" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Bombing a country then getting a ceasefire doesn't exactly shout "Give us Peace". Still waiting for the Russia - Ukraine conflict to be over in 24 hours. India and Pakistan? They do this several times a year. You can set your calendar by it. Rwanda / Congo? It's been going on since the end of the Rwandan Genocide. And efforts have failed time and time again. It does leave a fair amount of time for spending taxpayer dollars driving around a golf course.
During Donald Trump's first term (January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021), he played golf 293 days. The total cost to taxpayers for his golf outings during this term was approximately $151.5 million. This figure includes expenses related to flying Air Force One, transporting his motorcade, and providing security.
In his second term, which began on January 20, 2025, Trump has played golf 18 days so far. The cost to taxpayers for these golf outings has exceeded $26 million. This amount reflects similar expenses as in his first term, including travel and security costs.
Summary:
First Term:
Days Played: 293
Total Cost: $151.5 million
Second Term (so far):
Days Played: 18
Total Cost: Over $26 million
As for working on three hours of sleep a night, with many irons in the fire, you just described my life from 1984 through to today.
As for knowing where Trump is, there are days where he doesn't even know where he is.
Nope. The CPI was released today and it's up slightly. The effects of the tariffs are starting to show up in the numbers. Energy prices are not down. They are at best static. In my area they fluctuate up and down ranging as low as $2.75 and as high as $3.05. It's not consistent for more than a couple days. Real wages are up, but they are slowing. And the unemployment umbers are starting to climb. S&P is all over the place. Every time Trump says the word tariff, the markets shit themselves. The American economy is starting to swirl around the bowl. You are not paying attention. Or you are drowning in the Kool Aid.
Why are grown ups calling adversaries bullies? It's the type of comment normally reserved for the schoolyard. Canada needs to grow up and learn to speak the language of adults,particularly when crafting trade deals. Whining and complaining how it's not fair are childish tactics.
Absolutely as we find out Carney used the government to find where he could attack trump to lie to Canadians about the bad orange man and Canadians fell for the grifter hook line and sinker now you gonna pay for not opening your eyes to the Grifter you voted for Dont blame America for the last 10 years of a complete moron as a PM
Canadians are reduced to snivelling and petty sulking over Trump who is only looking out for his country’s best interests. Grow up fellow “patriots” and take a 101 course in economics. It’s time we pulled our weight and revised our priorities to best reflect how our taxes should be spent on less social “justice” and more realistic issues.
When one intimidates and threatens in an effort to coerce others to do their bidding — that is a bully,no matter their age. How one responds to the bully is the issue.
This isn't the school ground and it's not about bullying. It's a trade dispute. To even suggest, while negotiating a trade deal, that's it is bullying, displays a terrible weakness on our part. Historically, Canada hasn't been all that great at crafting the best beneficial trade deals with the US. Our first NAFTA agreement was crafted with Mickey Cantor for the US. I always remember my mom, who followed politics, saying that Canada was no match for Mickey Cantor. While Trump, admittedly, is an extreme, Americans are good at making trade deals that benefit them. If you accuse someone of bullying then that puts you into the role of victim. Not a strong negotiating point.
Trudeau apparently was advised by Carney during the last few years of his tenure. Of course, that like so much else about this pair has been memory-holed.
Usually, it’s a typical low-information person who, with a dearth of intelligence, resorts to schoolyard bully talk. It’s mostly the purview of Canadian Liberals.
President Trump might be the best Prime Minister that Canada has ever had. Let us not complain when Carney bends the knee and elbows down when Trump puts pressure on him. Let us embrace this and thank our good fortune. We did not need anything in return from the U.S. when Carney cancelled the Digital Services Tax. We got a tax cut. What else can we possibly want? Let us hope that Carney cancels our Supply Management apparatus. No party will ever free us from this scourge, except Maxime, and he has no chance to win. Let us thank God for President Trump.
This Canadian is thanking President Trump every day as he turns the USA into the most powerful country of the world likely we will all se within the next six months God Bless president Trump and the USA and God have mercy on Canada as we keep electing fools
Plus I'm tired with no real proposals coming from Poilievre since Carney did his multi-stage coup, policy steal, election imbroglio, & his stroll through one crisis after another. Why is Poilievre so invisible. This is Canada's future at stake. The only bright spot is this simplifies the process for Alberta & Saskatchewan going their own way. For decades they've sacrificed their own best interest serving Canada, helping the nation hugely meet its financial commitments. But those days are over.
If y’all believe the Carny fall fear did not respond to the expectations of Real Canadians, that the political games in Elections of gerrymandering and the load up of faux candidates with grocery long tapes with enough listing sleaze persons selling out Canada; did not have any effect to have a by-election in August; you are not paying attention or your faux name was on the List! __MikeSr
If PM Carney were in a room with Trump and walked over and slapped him in the face, Lilley would say:
“Slapping Trump in the face is the worst thing he could have done. Provocative!”
If in that same situation, PM Carney did NOT slap Trump, Lilley would say:
“Not slapping Trump is the worst thing he could have done. Weak!”
Meanwhile, PM Carney along with his war-effort cabinet, are forging a bold, can-do path forward. He's ignoring the perpetual naysayers who are getting left behind in the crumbling ghetto of can't-do.
I haven't read your other articles so my observation was based on what was written. Have you read my other observations?
Wesley Wark wrote an interesting thought piece on various aggressive positions that the Carney team could suggest very privately to the Trump team. We don't know that these ideas are not being pursued. Both PM Carney and Melanie Joly have stated that they're not negotiating on social media.
My (snide for which I apologize) comment was the suggestion that the Carney team is failing or weak in its response. I rather doubt that considering how many trade deals are being finalized including Anita Anand's apparently successful mission in the far east.
Criminals run free and Arthur Paloski was jailed simply for keeping his church open during an absolute hoax plandemic that is liberal justice in the Trudeau now Carney canada nevr mind our charter rights and the bloated public service they do the job with far less people or do what a real man like Ronald Raegan did when he fired all the air traffic control over their threats Ya dont call Trump the bully when the idiot said he will charge a carbon tax on all products comeing or going to a country that does not have a hoax climate tax just bury the idiot plese Trump until Canada grows a brain and rids itself of all the idiot lieberal
Carney has to many Conflicts of Interest to be a Canadian PM. I find this mind-boggling this should have been presented to the Canadians FIRST before anyone VOTED!! Carney should step down!! Carney will only line his pockets with more money & NOT Canadians if we can not see this we are st*pid!
Brian you don’t help by calling President Trump a bully. He is hard tough and America first. He is working everyday. Thats not a bully
Carney is on vacation.
Should I call him a weasel ?
This is an economic crisis in Carneys own words, and he is on vacation?
We are screwed.
Yes, Carney is un-serious about dealing with problems & making any real progress FOR Canada. It's like he's putting in the minimum & just trying to avoid the worst flare-ups, likely with plans to retire from the political office early on, at an opportune lull in Canada's huge de line & fall. He do patently doesn't give a damn what happens to Canada. This is just another impressive (& failed) entry on his CV/resume.
President Trump is a bully. He clouts with unsupportable tariffs and clamours up and down to create suspense. He golfs. A bully.
Honestly you should go to boarding school if you want to know bullying.
It’s not your fault.
You don’t know the difference between hard negotiating and bullying.
As liberals clutch their pearls they are on vacation; with no depth to their cabinet
Trump is working every day.
His cabinet is awesome. Undeniable.
Lutnick. Bessent. Hasset. Serious financial wizards.
Who has Canada got ? Freeland ? Leblanc? Joly?
Go in Peace.
Bread is 7.00 a loaf at Loblaws. Try Food Basics. 3.00. Still too much.
But the point is this. Until Canada sorts out its financial madness folks must survive looking for cheapest stuff they can buy.
Wherever it comes from.
Funny. His cabinet is awesome. Undeniable. Lutnick. Unquote. What you fail to realize is that your Emperor has no clothes.
Metaphors are not working for you. 80 million Americans don’t care what you think about their president.
1/5 of Americans don’t care. Understood.
Typically a liberal Poster will try and manipulate data to propose factually incorrect information that looks good. Rather than spend your time whining about Trump perhaps you should look at the pathetic 11 year record of massive spending, debt and inflation, continued by Mr Carney, aptly nicknamed ‘carnage’

As for knowing where Trump is, there are days where he doesn't even know where he is.
Trump hasn’t worked a day in his worthless life. You have been trumped.
Righttttttt🤪
Trump isn’t a bully. He’s incompetent.
and you are clearly an American shill
Most bullies are incompetent.
And I'm a Canadian currently living in the US.
Not an American shill. I love my country, True, North, Strong and definitely Free.
But I can't figure out why politically it has become the Canadian television version of American politics.
Trump's American Carnage speech from his first inauguration has finally come to fruition.
MAGA is starting to turn on him and the GOP.
People aren't going to take much more.
You have rats jumping ship, making 2026 a very interesting situation.
Trump will win the mid terms. How do I know? To quote Lilley :”it’s the economy, stupid”
Nope. It's MAGA coming to the realization that they have been lied to, conned and fucked over.
If it was just about the economy, he's still getting his ass handed to him.
The situation in the USA. Inflation down. Energy prices down. Real wages up. S&P record high. Tariff revenue way up. It’s the USA economy stupid.
Nope. The CPI was released today and it's up slightly. The effects of the tariffs are starting to show up in the numbers. Energy prices are not down. They are at best static. In my area they fluctuate up and down ranging as low as $2.75 and as high as $3.05. It's not consistent for more than a couple days. Real wages are up, but they are slowing.

The American economy is starting to swirl around the bowl. You are not paying attention. Or you are drowning in the Kool Aid.
lol. You folks make laugh
Actually, John, TDS is a serious disease. It comes from taking in too much leftwing propaganda.
As I would expect a fake account to say.
Ask Brian Lilley. He will assure you I’m not a fake account. Good luck.
What would you call someone whose main negotiation tactic resembles a mafia protection racket.
Get a grip
Yepper! __MikeSr

Trump has no obligation to Canada, whatsoever. Why should he? Any more than Emmanuel Macron or Kier Starmer should.
When one intimidates and threatens in an effort to coerce others to do their bidding — that is a bully,no matter their age. How one responds to the bully is the issue.

“Trump is an extreme” - who wrote The Art of the Deal, and is the world’s best closer!

Usually, it’s a typical low-information person who, with a dearth of intelligence, resorts to schoolyard bully talk. It’s mostly the purview of Canadian Liberals.
A fake account offers a typical comment.
Get rid of the BIS, Carney, Trudeau, Butts and Liberals, start over reclaim Canada back in other words hit the reset button to factory settings.
Easy. Get rid of Carney.
Thats it. . Elbows up, elbows down... that is The Chicken Dance, right?
The “elbows up” expression comes from small minds, like CTV’s Dawna Friesen.
Smile. _MikeSr
Carnage can't deal with his own lies and policies as a lie-bral wef globalist puppet bankster

And look at how Trump inspired Canadian patriotism, while creating the anti-American hatred. Canadians look so darn small.
Exactly 💯, very sad and pathetic. That's what happens when your pm back lies.
Plus I'm tired with no real proposals coming from Poilievre since Carney did his multi-stage coup, policy steal, election imbroglio, & his stroll through one crisis after another. Why is Poilievre so invisible. This is Canada's future at stake. The only bright spot is this simplifies the process for Alberta & Saskatchewan going their own way. For decades they've sacrificed their own best interest serving Canada, helping the nation hugely meet its financial commitments. But those days are over.
Bc too. It is far more conservative than people think.
Eby is a Chinese operative Marxist
Not Eby though.
It appears Poilievre is too tightly tied to his wife’s apron strings, if one’s allowed to notice and say that anymore.
If y’all believe the Carny fall fear did not respond to the expectations of Real Canadians, that the political games in Elections of gerrymandering and the load up of faux candidates with grocery long tapes with enough listing sleaze persons selling out Canada; did not have any effect to have a by-election in August; you are not paying attention or your faux name was on the List! __MikeSr
You mean how they loaded up the opposition candidates in Poilievre’s riding to make sure he couldn’t win…dirty tactics that!
True. How could Poilievre's people fail to notice that?
If PM Carney were in a room with Trump and walked over and slapped him in the face, Lilley would say:
“Slapping Trump in the face is the worst thing he could have done. Provocative!”
If in that same situation, PM Carney did NOT slap Trump, Lilley would say:
“Not slapping Trump is the worst thing he could have done. Weak!”
Meanwhile, PM Carney along with his war-effort cabinet, are forging a bold, can-do path forward. He's ignoring the perpetual naysayers who are getting left behind in the crumbling ghetto of can't-do.
So, this past week, I wrote a few column supportive of PM Carney and a few opposed to him. That would appear to blow up your theory.
You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.
I haven't read your other articles so my observation was based on what was written. Have you read my other observations?

Wait and see!
Oh contrary real doesn’t put any bread any more unless y’all are part of the CBC ‘gig’! __MikeSr
What?
Carney's screening is a big mess. Should he be allowed to continue as PM. Too many conflicts and what has he done to improve Canadian's lives.
He should have never been installed....I mean elected....or do I?
103 acknowledged conflicts. Plus there must be crossovers among such conflicts, meaning potential downstream conflicts could escalate hugely.
Criminals run free and Arthur Paloski was jailed simply for keeping his church open during an absolute hoax plandemic that is liberal justice in the Trudeau now Carney canada nevr mind our charter rights and the bloated public service they do the job with far less people or do what a real man like Ronald Raegan did when he fired all the air traffic control over their threats Ya dont call Trump the bully when the idiot said he will charge a carbon tax on all products comeing or going to a country that does not have a hoax climate tax just bury the idiot plese Trump until Canada grows a brain and rids itself of all the idiot lieberal

My shop teacher always said: Never show a fool a job half done. Give it time. Carney knows what he’s doing. He’s dealing with a psychopath.
I'll be listening to your podcast on monday ..theres just nothing to say ..lol
All good. Loved this!!
Tks
Regarding unions costing jobs, if you have a chance ask Terry Glavin about the the final days of The Columbian in the ‘80s. It’s a fascinating story.
What crap writing. As usual.
