I am glad regular Canadians are speaking up.

Talk (soothing his ego) is cheap.

Where it counts, negotiating, Canada is hanging tough. Thus no deal so far.

Carney is a coward and Mango Mussolini sycophant. Carney is selling out Canada because, I can only assume, he likes the taste of Mango Mussolini's ass. Fuck that guy. Hope he loses in the next election for it.

You completely misread the Canadian situation. I think you are blinded by hatred for tRump and it is warping your judgment of current events. The hatred is understandable but it is not effective and it is toxic to the hater.

Talk is cheap, Action is tough. Carney spends cheap words to keep things moving, but where it really counts, Carney is as tough as nails. That's why there is no deal yet. Carney repeatedly tells Canadians (but not you) that no deal is better than a bad deal, and they agree.

Carney is the opposite of a coward, which is why tRump keeps trash talking Canadian negotiators.

You want to know a sycophant: PM Kier Starmer of the UK.

The constant public gushing over him, just for the sake of a good deal, is not helping anyone's situation, because it emboldens him to keep doing what he is doing and leaves other nations in the situation where they feel forced to kiss his ass as the only way to get something.

It turns international diplomacy into a toxic sludge of sycophantic adoration for a dictator.

No matter how you slice it, this is a diplomatic failure by Canada. It was a diplomatic failure by every nation in Asia.


Doing this type of stuff is weakness to him. This is exactly his intent. He wants to expose other countries as weak. He only understands anger and hate.
Giving in to him, even in a small way, is self-destructive and further harms the entire international community.

You will always be their victim.

It's their govt that's the problem, not ours.
And it will be so much better when we finally end our reliance on the Gangster regime to the south of us.
All Americans have to bring their gangster regime to a halt is to literally stay home & do nothing.
Like Italy is doing. But enjoy your fascism, USA.

So for those bashing Carney,
Zelensky apologized to trump.
By your logic, Is the man defying the worlds second largest military a coward too?

Bizarro world.

He says he would not have put that out because he did not see it helping his ability to negotiate a deal with our irrational President. His job as Prime Minister is to do what is best for Canada. This trade war has hurt both sides.

Ford is a right wing Canadian. This may be one of the few times he has become a hero to the left in our country.

Rather than anger at the nuanced statement by the PM, I would condemn the cowardly action of the Reagan group. The fact is that this is a valid, public clip. It is ALWAYS true that no one speech defines a President's complete position on anything, but it is not true this segment was taken out of context. Their knee jerk response shows how little tolerance there is among Republicans for any divergence from Trump policies

Carney is a Mango Mussolini sycophant that really enjoys eating his ass.

Tired of world leaders playing sycophant to this moron and calling him "daddy" it's fucking insane.

I'm just so damn sick of everyone bending over backwards to stroke his ego.

We are so damn screwed. And literally no one is coming to help.

Their number one objective is to do what is best or least harmful for their country. Look at the Asia trip. If they can flatter him and give him little presents and that gets them the deal they need, they will swallow pride and do so. The problem is the US is too powerful to alienate.

No outside country can or will even try to "save" us. Hard as it is, we need to fix this ourselves and it won't be easy.

Somehow over the last several decades, we allowed the right to buy huge portions of the public media and we weren't as alarmed as we should have been as they gerrymandered every state they could when they had the legislature and governor. This led to them controlling the House at points where in a fairly districted country, they wouldn't have.

As to the courts, we likely should have pushed harder when McConnell wouldn't set hearings to replace Scalia. It probably wouldn't have worked as he did control the Senate, but it could have been a MUCH bigger issue in 2016.

I suspect that many of us may have relaxed too much when the sane, decent Biden became President, but it still absolutely mystifies me as to how Trump won in 2024 and did every terrible thing he said he would.

I'm glad Carney is Prime Minister and not some doctrinaire angry guy with no sense of strategy. Some people let their hate and anger lead them into strategic blunders.

It means a lot coming from you as your posts are always a breath of sanity.

You can't bargain with bullies. It never works.

What are we apologizing for? Showing a clip of ReThug saviour Ronnie Reagan coming out against tariffs? In his own words? And this requires an apology why?

We are truly living in upside down world…🙄

apologizing for the truth? what the hell! carney now owes an apology to the canadian people.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!

He owes no apology to Canadians.

Carney is playing good cop, Ford bad cop. It's a team effort.

Canada negotiated hard with tRump for CUSMA (USMCA) in 2019, a deal tRump said was the best ever then but now says is the worst. He hates it now so he calls Christia Freeland, Canada's chief negotiator at the time, a "nasty woman" or something similar. Elbows were up.

Carney is smart and tRump likes him personally, says so all the time, and then says Canada doesn't want to negotiate (not true) which is an indication that Canada has elbows up.

... is that the meme wasn't composed by Ford, it was an actual quote from Ronald Reagan, and one of the few truthful things he ever said. "Jelly Bean" Reagan was a world-class prevaricator, but Trump has him beat as an unrepentant pathological liar who couldn't tell the truth about the time of day.
Carney shouldn't have bent the knee and apologized; he just gave Trump power over him. BIG mistake.
