Mark Carney showed his hand in the beginning that he was not interested in doing a deal. Bad for his politics. Continuing Orange Man Bad and Elbows Up has the voters mezmorized.

Hard times. Getting worse. What do I know ? It’s not rocket science.

We pay a BILLION DOLLARS A WEEK for debt interest

Ya think? He’s playing a very dangerous game.

Only one certain outcome if Carney signs a deal. His distractionary Trump smoke screen would be gone. Not something that I think he wants in any hurry at all.

He could give a rat's ass about Canada and Canadians. I winder how many days he has actually been in this country in the last year. Comes back to Canada long enough to get clean underwear and then he's off. I despise this little weasel.

Sadly, Marxist Carnage’s agenda’d incompetence pretty much assures it’s not going to happen any time soon.

Yep.. that's been my question all along. The hate-trump policy that carney has is exactly like when a couple are about to get a divorce and one parent decides to demonize the other to the kids and to all the relatives and friends...and then says: wait a minute! Let's not get a divorce after all...and everyone is sitting there thinking: but didn't you just convince us all to hate that person? And now you want us to just forget everything you said? How's this gonna work with all the elbows up crowd who hate america, americans, and trump? They gonna swallow their venom? It's not going to end well....especially for canadians.

Agreed! However, Mark Carnage has a different neo-Malthusian agenda...

Mark Carney will come back to the negotiating table when it serves his political agenda. Until then, he'll use Orange Man Bad scare tactics to prop up voter support. He wants a significant majority to bring in some unpopular policies the EU is backing such as the digital dollar and unfettered migration. Canadian job losses are not his priority. Staying in power and helping facilitate his "New World Order" are.

Scaring people has been a time-tested successful strategy. It has worked and still works everytime. Carney has recognized this. He has manny bogeymen in his closet. Lets one out one at a time.

I just returned from 2 weeks in Sarasota Florida.

The Florida economy is booming. 21 800 new jobs created in the month of August. Infrastructure building everywhere. New hospitals, schools roads bridges etc.

Low taxes, less regulation, balanced state budget help.

Canada could learn from them.

Socialism does not work.

Welcome to lifestyles of the rich & famous where Canadian PM Mark Carney jet sets around the world living out his champagne wishes & caviar dreams- meanwhile back home in Canada unemployment is going through the roof, we have record #s using food banks, businesses are closing or moving to the US , young people and people of means leave Canada as our PM makes deals to sell off our assets & sovereignty and dreams of a Nobel Peace Prize but hey “elbows up” 🪦🇨🇦

Those elbows up boomers are the WORST. Selfish ppl who can’t drop the ego long enough to realize some things aren’t about them. There are real people who will suffer because we aren’t getting a deal. Drop the pride already.

My take on Carney is he’s a bit overrated. I haven’t seen him make any spending cuts or do anything to suggest he can think-outside-the-box. This is what is needed in these current economic times.

He’s only having so much success because the Conservatives have imploded when 4 MPs crossed the floor

Brian, you write re your angry correspondents, "Both of these men are comfortably retired." Indeed.

Our leaders are now largely chosen by people who depend on government, one way or another, for income and do not provide goods or services in a private market.

These people generally do not need to be entrepreneurial or creative; they can jump through hoops positioned for them.

Carney now markets Canada to the EU because of COURSE we will pay in and have no input. The EU wants our natural resources, as do the Chinese. And the EU is safer, for now.

The people whose income comes from the government do not know or care about the slow leak of creativity and productivity to the United States. They know they hate the US and only people who should feel guilty go there.

Of course it will end badly. But that's Chapter 18.
