Online disinformation from the right is full of this essential error. Impulsiveness, the need for instant gratification. A childish pointing to absolutes. The vaccine doesn’t guarantee no infection? Then it was a con. We still get cold snaps? Then there is no such thing as global warming.
This is an extremely fraught, demanding situation. We are a large landmass, a small population, between two increasingly allied, nuclear armed autocracies. The economic and political dysfunction of our until now primary trading partner is immense. Playing this subtly and wisely will require much cleverness.
To me who called who is semantics. Who blinked first, who cares. What matters is results and hopefully the results will speak for themselves. Politics and economics are not about who is thumping his chest harder, it is about who can get what he wants with a strategy that lets the other guy think he won. Trump likes to win, and Carney will give him that impression. I wanted a smart, composed and experienced leader at home and on the world stage. That is what is needed to « play » in the sandbox with people who are bullies.
I feel very secure knowing Mark Carney is our PM. He knows what he’s doing. He’s not the celebrity type. He’ll get the important stuff done without lights & cameras! He’s done more already in a few months than some have done in years! 🇨🇦
You keep saying Carney called Trump. It was Trump who called Carney. He wanted Carney to join him in the oval office. After the way he treated Zelensky, that won't happen. He will be here for the G7. Soon enough.
Trump says Carney called him. By all accounts, that’s what happened.
According to the PMO, Carney will meet with Trump very soon, possibly as early as next week. Will be a real test of his ability to handle the “chaos machine”.
