Mark Carney taking on Trump

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

@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.

I don't think that was intended as a reply to me.

Deep State; that's the realm of conspiracy delusionists, the sort of people who think that Hilary Clinton runs a cannibal paedophile ring from a pizza shop basement.

And WEF is used by similar people as code for "The Jews."

Anyone spouting that shite can be safely ignored.

Genevieva · 11/03/2025 06:35

Canada doesn’t just exist in relation to America. It has other interests. Mark Carney is not a good guy. He’s deeply unpopular in Canada and his enthusiasm at becoming PM, despite his central bank (civil service) background, is unbecoming. He’s brighter than Trudeau, but just as bad.

Which states?

dottiehens · 11/03/2025 07:23

Canadians have enough to deal with their own set of politicians. Same than in the U.K.

I know which president is delivering on his promises. At least that is something.

Yes, President Macron is fantastic. Did you listen to his speech. Thoroughly impressed.

Childrenofthestones · 11/03/2025 08:23

BeforeTrump started with the trade wars and even worse started goading them, the Liberals were in a nose dive and the conservatives highly likely to win.
Now the polls are telling a different story and the side affect may be hes cost the Cons their election.

He promised to tank your economy? And lie consistently?
Up to you I guess

Everything Mark Carney touches turns to shit. He was an awful Governor of the Bank of England.

PeachApricot · 11/03/2025 08:38

Rubbish. Couldn’t be more steadfast and reliable. His credentials are great.He is ideal, superb handling of economic crisis and Brexit, warning of the risks to the economy and steadying the ship immediately after.

Is that you Donald?

AzurePanda · 11/03/2025 09:22

Speak to anyone who actually knows anything about the City or just google the hundred of articles on the subject, he was a terrible BofE Governor. And remind me what he did after that job? Help Trudeau with Canada’s Covid policy, a key reason why Trudeau’s popularity plummeted.

There are literally tonnes of articles but this one is a decent summary.

Project Fear mentioned in that article. Enough said

AzurePanda · 11/03/2025 09:41

@sleepwouldbenice even the BBC was critical of his politicisation of Brexit as were they over his “unreliable boyfriend” behaviour re communication over rates.

Ah, the Spectator. Explains why they would have that opinion.

10 years ago it was probably "impossible" for a small country (Britain) to beat a big one (EU) in a trade war.

Now that position has mysteriously reversed for Canada and the US.

Funny that.

Somethingthecatdraggedin7 · 11/03/2025 10:12

You need a third option OP as neither of yours is bad enough to sum him up.
Trump is an ignorant narcissist who got into bed with Putin in order to win the 2016 election and now in his second term is even more openly controlled by Russia.
Not that he cares because as long as he gets what he wants, ie public face of power with numerous opportunities to bully and to stoke his ego plus free reign to make even more money for himself and a few super rich cronies, he doesn’t give a shit about what happens to America as a whole let alone the rest of the world.

The trouble is Mark Carney is solid existing establishment. And there are issues with poor management, chronism and too many people who have been promoted to protect the status quo rather than do the right thing.

And Trump is trying to establish a new establishment in which discrediting the old establishment is the goal with a view to replacing it.

Carney very much ticks the boxes that Trump WANTS to highlight.

It's Brexit v not Brexit.

Logic doesn't necessarily work.

Carney best have learnt on this argument.

Mark Carney is the son of two teachers. Trump is an inflated zillionaire. Yet Trump is the voice of the people? sIgh.

IvyLeagueSnob · 10/03/2025 20:50

Poor Canada, they’ve now got the worst person to clean up a decade long slump and failures by that pathetic creep Trudeau. An unelected WEF globalist with no parliamentary seat, pushed by the elites. Yeah the Canadian people are gonna love this. I hope Trump doubles down before carney ruins Canada like Trudeau.

"Elites elites elites".... try having an actual opinion, you might enjoy it.

BusyExpert · 11/03/2025 10:34

I never liked Trump, but I find myself warming to him. He is upsetting all of the right people.

AzurePanda · 11/03/2025 10:36

@blueincense if you’re preferred source is The Guardian there’s quite a lot from them too on the subject
