As Trump alienates allies and destabilizes trade, Prime Minister Mark Carney positions Canada as a pragmatic global player. The world is taking notice. Former MP Charlie Angus told me his thoughts.
So many great quotes from Carney's speech - e.g.: "Distance is not the way to solve problems, not the way to serve our people ...." Imagine having a leader who represented our country in such a respectful and dignified manner. Trump is an utter embarrassment, and a resounding failure as a president and a human being.
The GOP majority is! Drumpf only needs them to give incompetent nominees a 👍🏻, give oversight of his lawlessness a 👎🏻, & coverup the Eps-teen inquiry. Only a Dem majority Congress exercising its powers will checkmate the King!
I wonder if a Dem controlled house with a new speaker could wrestle back control of tariffs, which is their constitutional authority, and repair some of the damage?
Please remember that SCOTUS does NOT have the function of MAKING laws for this country - that they have gotten away with seemingly doing just that is the fault of the current non-admin orange regime 'Owning' both houses of Congress. Once the gop no longer has a strangle hold on those bodies, then new legislation can be written And Passed that strengthens the Constitution and circumvents or over-rides decisions which the Roberts (robbers) Court have handed down.
Even if they did, who is stopping him from doing whatever he wants? We need to come to the realization that the coup is complete. he owns the courts, he owns the justice department and he owns too many in the republican party. he may be impeached but he won't be convicted. Americans had a chance to stop this nightmare from happening and the majority voted to have it continue.
Pessimistic as it may sound, defeatist as it may sound, I don't see the damage he has done to our standing in the world ending for decades. Who would trust us? The world watched us go from Pres. Obama to trump, then Pres. Biden to trump. Even if we elected our own "Carney" why would anyone trust us to not elect another "trump" in a steven miller or a j.d vance 4 years later, especially since they see a pattern of us doing just that? trump has damaged us for decades, if not permanently. At almost 67 I don't know if I'll live to see the damage undone.
There's always constructive talks and actions that could start re-establishing our relationships. The free world knows it's Trump and his cronies that are disestablishing our alliances. I believe that we will have an opportunity to overcome Trump's damage in small doses.
We do. We do. And the millions of anti-Trumpers who showed up on No Kings! 2 did just that! We want him and his worthless Project 2025 minions GONE!!!! Keep up the great objections, Canada. Have sympathy as we go through this horrible, terrible time. Encourage your American friends to VOTE in all elections - local, state, national - to rid ourselves of the magots!! We are determined through progressive organizations such as Indivisible.org, 50501, and others who want democracy, hope, love and the law of our Constitution in America.
Normal Americans DO! There is nothing normal about Trump’s sick-o-phantic following.
Canada, please don’t put us all into that “basket of deplorables” that now run the country. Pray that in 2028 we can unseat them and begin the arduous task of restoring some sanity to our government.
Yes we see it. I'm appalled. It was bad enough when it was just done in and to the US. But it is so embarrassing when he does it to other countries. I feel like I need to apologize to these countries and their citizens. I wonder who is really pulling his strings. And I do apologize for his behavior and those of his proxies.
who is pulling his strings? terrorists putin of kremlin-netanyahu of israel-saudis-regime of qatar-orban of hungary-milei of argentina-bukele of elsalvador.
Carney is playing the long game , the smart game . He's not REALLY apologizing !! It's his golden crown to the 💩🤡 . It's a chess game . Strategy .Those who think , oh he looks weak , are myopic . Let him do his job ! He's more intelligent than you are .
Because Carney knows talk is cheap with Trump, and if apologizing to the orange toddler will shut him up, it costs nothing. In the meantime, Carney continues to re-orient Canada away from an economic dependence on the US in ways that Donnie Demento is too stupid to grasp. The world realizes that if you given Donnie shiny things to play with and compliment him on his "genius" you can pretty much lift his wallet in front of his face.
The repairs, refurbishing, modifications, who is paying for it all? Apparently it will take 2 or 3 years to finish and FOTUS takes it when he freaking leaves!!!
QUATARI MILIT BASE ON U S SOIL Never happened before r
ump kissing Qatar a-hole,???
Accepting Quatar jumbo jet, rump seemed so stupid, saying Quatar hott, exactly what could this really mean other than Quatar approves child molesting, and while Quatar reporting to Palestinian terrorists, rumpie praising and drooling over palaces, USA pres is either stupid, or corrupt, mollester too
I remember very well that on Oct. 7th 2023, tRumputin at first cheered the hamas-hezbola terrorists perpetrating massacres of the innocent Israeli civilians and other folks and taking hostages.
only when the netanyahu-kahanists started terrorizing the innocent Palestinian civilians - did he switch sides to support that other side's terrorists i.e. netanyahu-kahanist regime in Israel.
tRumputin supports every terrorist in the world and vice versa.
So what if he is try to smooth the waters with the toddler it’s a pure chess move so don’t make out to be a give. It’s not like we are holding all the cards. We are Ukraine fighting the evil eagle that is Trumps America.
PM Carney is playing good cop/bad cop with Premier Ford. If the Prime Minister had really been averse to the Premier of Ontario not playing the Reagan ad on tariffs, then you can bet it would not have been placed. It's all part of the plan to move away from relations with the U.S. It's playing tRump. What cost is an apology compared to all the trade deals Canada is making around the world and away from the tRump régime? ❤️🇨🇦
MARK CARNEY and CHARLIE ANGUS are men of intellect, character, competence, and class. In other words, they are EXACTLY OPPOSITE of the criminal POS in the White House--whose only accomplishment has been to thoroughly degrade the U.S. on every level.
So very sad. We celebrate in the failures of trump and once we can push him out, how on earth will we rebuild? Well, a task and a focus for another day. We shall see how all this will create what’s next. Who knows, a planet with more empowered and constructive relationships between countries, could be wonderful. We’ll sure need an adept group of leaders and foreign service/civil service specialists to work to regain trust in the world.
Universal Healthcare is a good thought but ask yourself, who's going to pay for it. Will the same services and doctors be available? From my understanding, you don't get to chose your doctors. Will the healthcare professionals be paid more or less than they are now? If less, will they chose to leave? There are alot of questions to research.
First of all......Universal healthcare is cheaper in the long run. Everyone pays taxes and funds the system. The people go to get treatment right away and do not wait.
Therefore problems are cured quickly.
When people wait....they end up in the hospital......or die pre-maturly.
Universal healtcare is mindset that does not exist in the Pedphile Party or greedy medical private corporations,
It is based on empathy and caring for others.
There is no such thing as medical debt........losing your home......turned away from vital operations
If TacoTits and his nazi hoard carry out his mission to totally destroy USA,
there is a chance to rebuild from the rubble and create a more livable society.
Sue Stjohn is asking questions........The US medical "for-profit Mafia complex" spreads disinoformation........like the cigarette compainies used to do.
Sue is doing what needs to be done.
Justin Trudeau was conversing with California at one point. California supports the red parasitic states already and could go at anytime.
And the red states are sending their SSGestapo units to Blue states.
Sighhhh; I believe you are right. Trust is easy to break and takes a lot of time to build. In addition to addressing the systems and infrastructure that’s been dismantled. Argh. I’m not so secretly imagining making the future trump, who is out of office, watch his stupid ballroom being razed to the ground. And that arch if it becomes a thing. Make him watch and tear it all down.
I think it is more than possible this is Trump doing what Putin wants. Trump is destabilizing the US with our allies. I'm not sure why the oligarchs in our country are okay with this. If, in fact, I am even correct about this.
Thank you, Charlie Angus. You cut straight to the heart of our cesspool regime. My fervent wish is that the instant the USA has pissed off our last ally, the alleged "conservatives" will FOAD. Because "conservatism" serves only itself and never the people who pay for it.
it's actually worse than religion. in religion at least there are ascetic hermits who tend to live true to their calling, though with lots of hypocrites among them too.
In "conservatism' i.e. authoritarianism-autocracy, there are only hyper-hedonist materialistic sadists and nihilists, along with hypocrites being the rule, who indulge themselves in abuses of everybody else.
Only 5 or 6 months until I receive my Canadian Citizenship Certificate after proving my mother was Canadian. After that, applying for my British Citizenship by Descent.
Give myself 2 different outs unless Trump succeeds in destroying the US before then.
Pete Hogstrap , is a damaged piece of💩 . Dont interview him , or invite him anywhere for debates or as a guest , because hes a liar and hate spreader .
So many great quotes from Carney's speech - e.g.: "Distance is not the way to solve problems, not the way to serve our people ...."

Good for Canada. 🇨🇦
CONGRESS ISN’T THE PROBLEM!
The GOP majority is! Drumpf only needs them to give incompetent nominees a 👍🏻, give oversight of his lawlessness a 👎🏻, & coverup the Eps-teen inquiry. Only a Dem majority Congress exercising its powers will checkmate the King!
I wonder if a Dem controlled house with a new speaker could wrestle back control of tariffs, which is their constitutional authority, and repair some of the damage?
Depends on two things: (1) The new speaker we both want, and (2) How SCOTUS rules on the Trump tariffs - oral arguments on November 5!
Please remember that SCOTUS does NOT have the function of MAKING laws for this country - that they have gotten away with seemingly doing just that is the fault of the current non-admin orange regime 'Owning' both houses of Congress. Once the gop no longer has a strangle hold on those bodies, then new legislation can be written And Passed that strengthens the Constitution and circumvents or over-rides decisions which the Roberts (robbers) Court have handed down.
Meant to include a shout-out to 866 Our Vote - Election Protection (866 687-8683) to report and find help with any voting problems nation-wide.
Check out: 866ourvote.org
Even if they did, who is stopping him from doing whatever he wants? We need to come to the realization that the coup is complete. he owns the courts, he owns the justice department and he owns too many in the republican party. he may be impeached but he won't be convicted.

Oh, dear God….how don’t normal Americans not see his insanity?!
We do. We do. And the millions of anti-Trumpers who showed up on No Kings! 2 did just that! We want him and his worthless Project 2025 minions GONE!!!! Keep up the great objections, Canada. Have sympathy as we go through this horrible, terrible time. Encourage your American friends to VOTE in all elections - local, state, national - to rid ourselves of the magots!! We are determined through progressive organizations such as Indivisible.org, 50501, and others who want democracy, hope, love and the law of our Constitution in America.
The majority of Americans absolutely DO see drumpf’s insanity.
Unfortunately millions don’t.
Well, cuz it’s a cult.
Normal Americans DO! There is nothing normal about Trump’s sick-o-phantic following.
Canada, please don’t put us all into that “basket of deplorables” that now run the country. Pray that in 2028 we can unseat them and begin the arduous task of restoring some sanity to our government.
Sooner than 2028!! Don't ask me how but way before 2028 tRumputin&his entire "cabinet" of terror must be gone!!
The normal ones do
Yes we see it. I'm appalled. It was bad enough when it was just done in and to the US. But it is so embarrassing when he does it to other countries. I feel like I need to apologize to these countries and their citizens. I wonder who is really pulling his strings. And I do apologize for his behavior and those of his proxies.
who is pulling his strings? terrorists putin of kremlin-netanyahu of israel-saudis-regime of qatar-orban of hungary-milei of argentina-bukele of elsalvador.
We normally people wonder the same thing.
Carney is playing the long game , the smart game . He's not REALLY apologizing !! It's his golden crown to the 💩🤡 . It's a chess game . Strategy .Those who think , oh he looks weak , are myopic . Let him do his job ! He's more intelligent than you are .
Totally. World leaders have realized flattery and gold crowns are worth more to trump that actual trade deals
Could you hear the giggling as they presented Trump those gifts
But why did Carney apologize just recently for the Reagan tariff ad?
Because Carney knows talk is cheap with Trump, and if apologizing to the orange toddler will shut him up, it costs nothing. In the meantime, Carney continues to re-orient Canada away from an economic dependence on the US in ways that Donnie Demento is too stupid to grasp. The world realizes that if you given Donnie shiny things to play with and compliment him on his "genius" you can pretty much lift his wallet in front of his face.
Yep. Same thing with every world leader who gave him crowns and golf clubs and he was smitten
… and jets
Qatar has out dealt rump, master of the deal! Qatar prob jet is now USA problem jet.
Quatar,also known for excepting hezbola friends! What was rumpie thinking this time,??????????
trump wasn’t thinking. He is not able to think! Except about money n gold shit in the White House! Pathetic po💩
Agreed!
The repairs, refurbishing, modifications, who is paying for it all? Apparently it will take 2 or 3 years to finish and FOTUS takes it when he freaking leaves!!!
Yeah, you got that right he was given something we lost everything.
QUATARI MILIT BASE ON U S SOIL Never happened before r

Or all three!

only when the netanyahu-kahanists started terrorizing the innocent Palestinian civilians - did he switch sides to support that other side's terrorists i.e. netanyahu-kahanist regime in Israel.
tRumputin supports every terrorist in the world and vice versa.
Agree Exactly well said Pat!
So well put. 👍
We don't know how Carney said it. Maybe "I'm sorry you need so much golden adoration and can't take any opposite opinion."
Totally. He’ll just totally invent conversations he had it’s crazy
That's what I took it for, a dumb complaint deserves a dumb apology,
,
just think about it
, could have saved more Wh destruction, we know rumpies reverting to 4yr old temper tantrums !
Yes, Carney did apologize.
“Canadian PM Carney apologises to Trump over anti-tariff ad“
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4007deg2qo
The only one who was so insecure to need a fake apology in the first place was Trump...
How weak must you be when you want world leaders to apologize for correctly quoting a great American president... ?
Not much of an apology but still more than dumpty deserves.
Agree
He apologized because it costs nothing. The ad already had the desired effect. Mission accomplished.
The USA under the Trump regime is based on fiction. World leaders know this, even if some Americans don't.
Doug Ford's ads played on that fiction. They offended the fiction.
Carney isn't Ford, he is lazer focused on the the future of Canada. Apologies cost nothing, a gold crown, a gold golf ball costs nothing.
The world is moving on and rightly so.
So what if he is try to smooth the waters with the toddler it’s a pure chess move so don’t make out to be a give. It’s not like we are holding all the cards. We are Ukraine fighting the evil eagle that is Trumps America.
Very good analogy, thank you.
Diplomacy
I would LOVE to know if TRUMP made that up? AH! Of course he DID!
He would ABSOLUTELY make up conversations he had. Totally
No, Carney had a press conference today and a reporter asked if he apologized. He confirmed that he did.
PM Carney is playing good cop/bad cop with Premier Ford. If the Prime Minister had really been averse to the Premier of Ontario not playing the Reagan ad on tariffs, then you can bet it would not have been placed. It's all part of the plan to move away from relations with the U.S. It's playing tRump. What cost is an apology compared to all the trade deals Canada is making around the world and away from the tRump régime? ❤️🇨🇦
Yeah, I really wish that had not happened. Please tell us if that was some AI hoax.
Did he? Do we know that?
Remember republicans lie
Not much of an apology but it cost Canada absolutely nothing.
Alot!
Yes, he did.

'Carney engaging the world with purpose, Trump never could.'
What a clear and insightful assessment of our failed president.
Thank you
MARK CARNEY and CHARLIE ANGUS are men of intellect, character, competence, and class. In other words, they are EXACTLY OPPOSITE of the criminal POS in the White House--whose only accomplishment has been to thoroughly degrade the U.S. on every level.
And he is betraying his own supporters. This will not end well.

All the maggots should be tried in Nuremburg style. Put in prison. Bring in progressive leadership and implement universal healtcare for all.
Universal Healthcare is a good thought but ask yourself, who's going to pay for it. Will the same services and doctors be available? From my understanding, you don't get to chose your doctors.

Exactly so, WJB Motown!! Healthcare must be primarily altruistically driven; also, @ Sue Stjohn, look at the ways that at least the Democratic States could be independent from tRumputin&his evil parts https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-super-healthcare-compact-three
Please read it and understand!!
Sue Stjohn is asking questions........The US medical "for-profit Mafia complex" spreads disinoformation........like the cigarette compainies used to do.

Go figure???????
I know, my friend. It's why I said that Christopher Armitage's Substack really seems to offer some problem-solving answers to many questions.
It will take AT LEAST one full generation to undo the damage Trump will have caused in 12 years.
Sighhhh; I believe you are right. Trust is easy to break and takes a lot of time to build. In addition to addressing the systems and infrastructure that’s been dismantled. Argh. I’m not so secretly imagining making the future trump, who is out of office, watch his stupid ballroom being razed to the ground. And that arch if it becomes a thing. Make him watch and tear it all down.
The change should start with America looking at itself . The people , its culture . Then you can start electing intelligent people .
Yes, I believe it's going to be a long slow process, but then it took our founding fathers several years to create our Constitutional gov't.
I think it is more than possible this is Trump doing what Putin wants. Trump is destabilizing the US with our allies. I'm not sure why the oligarchs in our country are okay with this. If, in fact, I am even correct about this.
It puzzles me too about why the oligarchs keep propping this nothing burger up.
FOTUS has been involved in money laundering with Russia for years.
Because power
Undoubtedly so.
Thank you, Charlie Angus. You cut straight to the heart of our cesspool regime. My fervent wish is that the instant the USA has pissed off our last ally, the alleged "conservatives" will FOAD. Because "conservatism" serves only itself and never the people who pay for it.
"conservatism" is all lies!!
The original con. Well, after religion.
it's actually worse than religion. in religion at least there are ascetic hermits who tend to live true to their calling, though with lots of hypocrites among them too.
In "conservatism' i.e. authoritarianism-autocracy, there are only hyper-hedonist materialistic sadists and nihilists, along with hypocrites being the rule, who indulge themselves in abuses of everybody else.

Congratulations,that's awesome. British citizenship is good to have if FOTUS tries to invade Canada!
Elbows up, never 51rst! 🇨🇦 💪
My fear of tRumputin invading Canada is the sole reason I haven't already immigrated to Canada from this part of Europe I happen to be in, yet.

Intelligent speech by Carney...no notes either.
I don’t think DT can read.
