I will definitely take a listen, but I feel compelled to share something I read only yesterday.
That is, AOC is potentially going to run for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028.
She would be a substandard choice, but she would likely have a pretty good run.
AOC is on record as favouring “tearing up NAFTA” . (No one has told her it is no longer her called NAFTA, but I digress.) (Source- Jim Geraghty-Morning Jolt-National Review. )
My point being, Canadians are being sold another bill of goods by another bunch of Liberals, and the goods delivered are not as advertised.
In other words, if Canadians think our disrespected and disreputable trade preferences are going to slide back into place if we just wait out President Trump, we are naively being misled.
I am not suggesting she is a walk-away winner; I am suggesting she could be a formidable candidate for the reasons you list above. And a formidable candidate can set the agenda, even if he/she doesn’t win.
Because he always thinks he's the smartest guy around, Carney will only take advice from himself or those like him.
Canada's problem is that Carney, smart as he may be, seems to be full of bad decisions, bad opinions, bad judgment.
Thankfully for him, the majority of the Canadian electorate is so apathetic, so gullible, so asleep at the switch, so fearful and resentful of big bad orange man, so full of selective, unwarranted indignation that he can get away with pretty much anything right now.
Now we k ow why we're in the position we're in. Gamma is an excellent example. With an attitude like that, why would anyone want to negotiate anything with us. Ignorance will kill this country!
Of course it’s frustrating for all reasonable-minded people. The psyop of the 2025 election persists in the minds of Canadians who bought the psyop…hook, line and sinker. “Orange Man Bad…”. GET OVER IT, for the love of Canada. You got played, stop moaning about it, my fellow Canadians! Right now there are two visions of the “New World Order” at play;
Carney’s, which is a reboot and continuance of the British monarchy and City of London maintaining the endless wars, money-printing inflation, reducing g or outright eliminating the middle class, and erosion of our live’s work that accrues like the boiling frog to the global elite bank accounts,
OR
Trump’s vision which creates a world of tolerable peace, trade, economic growth through the empowerment of the middle class, and the position of American as the hegemonic power. Fat and happy people don’t go to war!
This vision accepts that the USA, China, Russia and India will be the dominant players on the globe🌎. It will never be perfect, from time to time some country will step out of line, but we gain more by working together than apart.
Lastly, it’s about the economy, stupid! What percentage of our trade goes to the USA? More than 75%!!! How much does Canada represent to the USA GDP? LESS THAN 3%!!! FFS, you’d have to be ID10T to bet against those odds.
You nailed it, Dan. In 2024 Canada's trade with the U.S. was $420 billion...Canada's next largest trade partner, China, was at $20 billion and third was the UK at $19 billion. So trading partner #2 and #3 tallied to less than 5% of trade partner #1. The U.S. can literally wait out Canada because its economy will live without Canada being involved; if Canada tries to wait out the Trump administration, Canada will lose ad experience immense economical damage. If Canada loses its mind and gets further involved with facilitating China as an alternative to U.S. trade, Canada risks kinetic conflict or a Venezuelan-like outcome.
Unfortunately it has been clear from the start that Carney has no desire for an agreement with the US. At no time has he put together a delegation to meet with the US like he did with the UE, India, and China. Further, Carney has not released any details of the deal with China and that is very disturbing. If it is a good deal for Canada, with minimal risk, then why is it such a secret. Canadian have the right to know what is in these agreements. Carney's actions do not seem to be in the best interest of Canada and Canadians. I personally am very concerned!
This man Carney puts himself above all others, he believes that he is more intelligent than the rest of rest of us , and definitely than Trump, so therefore he does all things to piss off Trump at the expense of all Canadians, and in all likelihood of a number of Americans. His allying us with communist China is outrageous, but just another way for him to poke Trump in the eye. We all get to suffer for Carneys arrogance, and his refusal to come to the reality that Canada and the U S are very closely integrated and that we need each other, not Carneys elbows up nonsense, just look at the proposed military procurement just announced, absolute stupidity! One can go on and on about his ideas and policies, but it will not make him change his ideals and hatred for Trump.
Last time, Chrystia Freeland was so intransigent that the US abandoned talks with Canada, made a deal with Mexico and magnanimously let Canada join.
Seems we are being intransigent again, but this is Trump’s last chance to fix this. I doubt he’ll let us in without fixing the loopholes in supply management.
Trump obviously wants the USA to do well, just as Cdns want our country to do well. If tariffs are the way Trump wants to go it will hurt his people. Canada should back off on the tariffs to make it easier for us purchasing from the USA. CARNEY is the one rupturing our relationship at this point by not attempting to negotiate. He would rather negotiate with a COMMUNIST country. He needs to park his arrogance and attitude and start doing what is best for Canada not what is best for him! I am so sick of his "holier than thou" attitude. He's in NYC talking to business people probably discussing how all of these millionaires can make more money for themselves while people are literally starving and living in the streets. And still so many Cdns are not paying attention!!!
Trump is not the reason for Canada’s problems. We have a Canadian leadership problem. God bless. And God bless the leadership of Canada. May the God of creation infiltrate the hearts of our leaders and that the nation of Canada would repent and turn to Christ and be saved. In the name Jesus amen.
Nothing unites Canadian boomers faster than complaining about Americans while lined up at Costco for U.S. products.
Trudeau was a waist of skin and not taken seriously at all
But. Carney is serious enough to piss off the most powerful country and your only Customer, and people still support him and the Libtards !!
I wander why Canada has dropped to the bottom of all economic lists !!
Being a politician is probably the only job in the world where you don’t have to be good at it

AOC = T2 in terms of competence, appeal to mindless voters and media attention so perhaps we should worry.

a Carney lookalike, soundalike.....
You've got that right, in spades.
Because he always thinks he's the smartest guy around, Carney will only take advice from himself or those like him.
Canada's problem is that Carney, smart as he may be, seems to be full of bad decisions, bad opinions, bad judgment.
Thankfully for him, the majority of the Canadian electorate is so apathetic, so gullible, so asleep at the switch, so fearful and resentful of big bad orange man, so full of selective, unwarranted indignation that he can get away with pretty much anything right now.
Canada, as usual, remains the biggest loser.
He also has to appease Xi and Looney Tunes cabinet.
Sure seems like Xi controls Carney.
if his agenda is to break Canada, he is very very smart.....
Now we k ow why we're in the position we're in. Gamma is an excellent example. With an attitude like that, why would anyone want to negotiate anything with us. Ignorance will kill this country!

We will be fine. Natural gas should be flowing to Germany by the early 2040s.
I'm sorry, Martin, but did you actually mean the 2140s? Just asking because I don't see it happening a whole lot faster.
Ha. Fair.
Another good one, Ken. 🤣🤣🤣
We promised to be shipping them hydrogen by last year. We are great promise-makers but lousy promise-keepers.
I wish I could like and repost 10,000 times.
Good one Martin.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Greer is an erudite individual and always worth the listen.
The PM said he would make a deal he is the one that could.
Here we are no deal and now CUSMA.
I think we need to make a deal with the Americans get it done.
