Mark Carney taking on Trump

[RedHot2025]

Fighting talk from Mark Carney today. He will win the trade war with America. Blames Trump entirely for this trade war.

He will apply from today 25% surcharge on energy to the 3 US states they supply. Means around 100 dollars per month per family in those states.

Trump is a buffoon as well as a bully and people will not tolerate his actions.

Does Trump have dementia?

Or is he thick as shite?

YABU he's just thick

YANBU he has dementia

Nah you’re alright, unlike Biden’s Afghanistan speech, I’ll make a smooth exit plan.

@HangryLilacGoose and was it JT that was a lightweight or his party?
his first term was bland and he was re-elected during the pandemic for most people "just because" it wasn't a great time for a change. At this point people were simply sick of him.
if it's a party issue then the reality is MC wont be able to change their manifesto.
i see his pick of chief of staff is controversial.

I bought DS2 some ASDA nutrigrain dupes that he wanted that turned out to be made in Canada.

The majority stakeholder in associated British foods who own brands like Jordans and Dorset cereals, among others is part Canadian.

McCain of the oven chips and Strong roots brand is Canadian owned.

I think (and thought) that he, specifically, was a lightweight.

His party...well, they're pretty bland status-quo centrists but I'd take them over the Conservatives in a heartbeat and I think Jagmeet has been a hugely underwhelming NDP leader.

Not exactly spoiled for choice.

Aah the phrase wake up. It's so 2020....

But it's actually possible to not like any of the options you had at the ballot box. We've been laughing at you for a while. But the orange buffoon is a lying, dangerous shitshow.

ODFO. Trudeau hasn't ruined Canada. Get off your high-horse. If you are Canadian, then you are f-ing unpatriotic to say our country is ruined. If you aren't then stay out of our politics. Elbows up mf'er.

He is both stupid and has dementia, so I could not vote in the poll.

Can't argue with that. Spot on.

Nothing happening? We got public dental care, which is a huge achievement. We are also on track to get pharmacare, which the Tories would stop. The change they would make will be disastrous for the poor, naturally.
You are right that Polievre will suck up to Trump.
I'm a Green voter (when I'm not voting strategically against the Tories) but I'm not going to say the Liberals have done nothing, because that simply isn't true.

Oh good grief. The hackneyed right wing talking points are coming a mile a minute.

Bullshit. Those people were terrorists. I was there, so don't try telling me they were just "peacefully protesting." I know people who were attacked, and people whose health was ruined by the constant, toxic fumes and incessant blaring house, so don't you dare. Then, after sickening so many people, they tried to block entrance to a hospital.
Then there was the attempted arson, and so much more.

Edited to add; nobody was investigated just for giving them handouts. Only the bank accounts of terrorists were frozen.

Apologies @GildedRage .
Spelled Poilievre wrong. I often forget the first i because of how it's pronounced. Any way you spell it, he sucks. He's a charisma black hole.

Yep. Sounds like typical Tory nonsense.

This. Carney is the right person for this job, and God knows we need some steady hands on the international stage right now.

Correct, with the option to shut the power down altogether as a last resort. Obviously nobody wants that, but if it has to be, Trump is to blame.

Absolutely. I was going to vote Conservative to get that twat Trudeau out although Polievre doesn’t sit right with me.
Now Carney is the leader I’ll be voting Liberal.

Some recent polls, with Carney as the hypothetical leader, show the Liberals in the lead (and others tied or very close).

I think he'll win. Particularly with Trump's second term looking so disastrous, and the annexation threats, I think Canadians have come to realize that we don't need some cheap knock-off peddling similar divisive politics.

You'll always have some dyed-in-wool conservatives and a smattering of low-information conspiracy-loving numpties but I think most regular Canadians will get behind Carney.

You would seriously vote Polievre and his doom brand of conservatism just because you dislike Trudeau? How stupid. 🤦‍♀️

It'll probably be really helpful to Carney, both in the election and the trade war, that the US economy is currently tanking because they entrusted it to an absolute moron.

I expect Reform UK will similarly drop off, before too long.

You are right. I should have said Permanent Resident. Legally entitled to live, study and work in the US. Married to a US citizen who was also threatened with detention despite being 8 months pregnant🙄
anyway, deportation has been blocked for now.
Also not charged with a crime so they’ll have to create one (negotiating with the University on behalf of students protesting probs isn’t enough) before the hearing on Wed.
And yes, apparently the ‘new committee’ is investigating students involved in the protests which began after the orange fuckwit threatened them. They would have well and truly received the message and had no choice but to take action if they ever want to receive another cent 🙄
Khalil was awarded his Masters already but I guess if they are told to, they can revoke it

😂

@HangryLilacGoose well the law says they don’t have to be an MP. As the chosen leader of the party in power, he becomes the PM. It isn’t the first time it has happened.

And he’ll run in a Liberal safe seat, so will be an elected MP.

Lots of people think the election will be called on Sunday. With Easter to be avoided, I’ll say Monday 5 May.

he is deep state controlled

Oh my sweet summer child. Trump is in the pocket of Putin. Carney is a boring Canadian. Deep state, my arse.
