I get it. Carney is trying to be diplomatic and find a way to get the tariffs dropped, or at least reduced. But man, it just seems like these meetings with Emperor Dips*** are always a colossal waste of time. I’d rather we just ignore him and keep doing what we can to strengthen and find new trade deals with reliable partners and allies.

It has been tricky to dig into but it sounds like there has been a lot of progress on that front. I found one content creator
House of El who is focused on the geopolitical analysis of some of the moves that Carney has taken since the election.
I have found some small stories that support her videos, which makes me more trusting that she isn't just making #### up and thus makes me more excited about what Carney is doing.
She has had some interesting analysis:
Canada-Sweden Arctic trade route
Canada-Norway trade route
Canada-Denmark trade alliance
Canada-Netherlands trade route
Canada-Italy trade
Also, she did a video on the Canada submarine RFP that dropped the US as a contender for the Germany/Korean choices (whereas the US assumed they would get that money). The impact to red states is particularly enjoyable to consider.
So while I view Carney meeting Trump as a bit of a waste of time, it does seem to be a necessary evil to buy time while all of these other moves continue in the background.
