Why isn't Trump at the WEF? Would've been perfect to see him speak after Carney lol.

He’s travelling there tonight and will be there tomorrow. He’s going to discuss Greenland and according to him the Europeans are going to “love it”.

It was. I am curious and maybe a little concerned about the American, Trump's, reaction to it.

Very little was veiled there. The entire world knows exactly what, and who, Carney was talking about.

That’s exactly the point. We need to stop worrying about what Trump’s reaction is. “It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”

Fair. Agent Orange is prone to knee-jerk decisions and can initiate a punishing response almost immediately. I agree with everything that Carney said, but that path forward, which I fully support, is not a bowl of instant oatmeal.

Wouldn't it be great if his flight crashed into the Atlantic Ocean and his body is never found ??

Probably can't tell if it's whale or human during the search.

I agree, it's scary for Canada to dictate it's own course with a capricious mental midget who bases his decisions on petty grievances and is a full time bully who is also the most thin skinned human in history. However, it's the only path forward for us.

Some of the European leaders said much worse things about him over the last two days, and he’s barely acknowledged any of it. So I doubt that Carney’s speech even registered. I was reading earlier that Trump’s speech tomorrow is of course going be all about him and the “amazing accomplishments he’s made over the last year.”

He also said something towards the end his insane rambling today about coming up with a deal on Greenland that “NATO will love” or something along those lines. Whatever he says tomorrow, I’m sure it’s gonna be incredibly stupid and disrespectful towards Europe.

That was an inspiring speech. The beginning of the middle power superpower?

Finally got around to watching his speech, and it's probably fair to say it's one of the best speeches any Canadian leader has made in the last few decades. I especially appreciate his point about having to look for trading partners pragmatically, accepting that they won't share all of our values, but it's necessary to take the world as it is and not how we want it to be. It's so goddamn refreshing to have an adult at the head of the table again after so long

I wonder if that speech will end up having an influence on some Conservative MPs who are on the fence about their career with PP as their leader.

It's a great speach. I wish only to have a leader that actually follows or believes in what he preaches. He has slowly shown to be a leader that is repairing Canada rather than one that just spews platitudes. I however struggle to be fully on board while he clings to the gun "buy back" dispute all of its flaws and inaccurate gaslighting just to retain Quebec votes. Time to take down the rest of the signs and let us move forward as one without the false virtue signalling. It honestly wouldn't take carney much to get 25% more of the total vote by recognizing the reluctance of a large portion of the moderate vote.
