Carney, you've dropped the tariffs on friggan China, and the longest, most closest trading partner, that ever existed is now threatening 100% tariffs on us, my god what the he'll have to you done, you have opened the doors to A COMMUNIST REGIME, AND CLOSED AN ALLY THAT YOU COULD HAVE HAD TRADED BETTER WITH. MR TRUMP HAS GOTTEN DEALS FOR HIS COUNTRY, HE MADE AMERICA RICH, WHAT IN HELL HAVE YOU DONE, EXCEPT PUT YOUR NOSE IN EVERY THING THAT BENEFITS BROOKFIELD! GET OUT OF OUR WAY!
Carney should hire you to write his speeches. He also enjoys using big words and sounding intelligent but when you actually scrape out what all the words mean at the end it means almost nothing. Good work.
@ Rosemarie, with all due respect you are delusional. A trade deal was never going to happen. The sooner Canada rips off the US bandaid and moves on the better. Elbows up.
Time to hear all the soo today readers come to defend Trump. This guy puts tariffs on us for making a deal with China, after this guy already made a deal with China for the states. Get lost.
OH NO, IT'S ALL BAD, BROKEN, HORRIBLE, WE NEED PETER POLYESTER AND HIS CAPE TO SAVE US FROM THE,,,, OH NO,, LOCUSTS Give it a rest. Let the guy do his job.
So let me get this straight. You think that you're smarter than Adam Gordon, a former senior legal and policy adviser to Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs who is now an affiliated researcher at the Cascade Institute. You think he's fear-mongering even though Trump is now threatening daily to take Greenland by military force???
All Carney did was poke the bear even further as evident after learning of his comments. Like it or not Canada is going to have to make a deal with our southern neighbours or far to many will be unemployed or worse.
A smart, timely breakdown from Closer Look. Carney’s point isn’t “pick a fight,” it’s face reality: the old rules-based comfort blanket is fraying, and middle powers can’t survive on nostalgia. Canada’s best answer is the one he laid out—values-based realism, more strength at home, less vulnerability abroad, and deeper coalitions with partners who will actually stand together. Hearing Peter Donolo’s perspective (with the Chrétien-era scars and experience) is exactly what this moment needs: clear messaging, steady nerves, and disciplined follow-through. Now comes the hard part—turning a strong speech into durable policy.
