Trump mocks trans folks to prime minister with nonbinary kid
-
I’m aware that the feds have been working on more international trade with our allies in Asia/Europe/anywhere that isn’t the USA…
I was commenting the other day to my SO that most products don’t even need to be “made in Canada” for me to want to buy them, they just need to say “not a product of the USA” and I’ll consider it a viable option to buy.
Anything made in the USA, I try to avoid or find non-US made alternatives.
ill prefer made in canada, and be fine with ‘not american’

The way carney was staring intently at Trump with lovers eyes while he blathered on… very embarrassing
I’m not liking his performance to date, but this sounds like astroturfing.
-
Did America have some sort of 10x larger neighbor I’m not aware of?
They tolerated the bullshit trump did. At least that’s how I read it.
-
King Charles is the head of state.
On paper. We don’t need his assent for anything. And if we did we have the Gov. Gen.
-
If only Carney was a good politican who had helped Canada in literally any way since taking office. At least he sorta looks good in comparison to a dementia riddled fascist, I guess. Fascists will see this as Canada bowing to the king.
I hate that he’s better than the alternative
I hate seeing us becoming more of a two party system
we need voting reform

How? I found it cringe. He doesn’t even have to interject but he could at least not do this act of listening intently to him while he speaks nonsense as if he were giving a high level lecture. It feels like performative kowtowing in hopes that Trump will reward him for it… which he will not.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with my initial comment.
I basically said he’s letting the foreign moron talk until he goes away. Unfortunately, I used the word “tolerate”, and that triggered people’s pre-programmed scripts about authorities allowing the domestic spread of genocide denial or whatever.

VERY BAD!!!
-
Nah, children can’t consent, so that’s rape.
(that’s the joke)

Huh, I think you’ve fell victim of confirmation bias in this case.
Which is truly the ceinge position to be in.

It’s about not having the mindset of someone lives in the 51st State and instead lives in a sovereign, equal nation to the US. A lot of people in this thread seem to think that Mark Carney should bow down to Trump and nod along to everything he says, no matter how bigoted or indefensible, which is the implicit mindset of someone who sees their country as weaker, inferior one to the US.

It seems like you have some issues reading the situation.

You know, if we stopped pretending there were only 2 parties in Canada we could actually get away from the lib/con bullshit and have a healthy multi party parliament.
You won’t find an argument here
-
Never said such a thing. I can dislike our Liberal PM without being a con idiot. This is not a what about moment but lots of my fellow countrymen choose to make it so. Very murica of you all. Guess we’ll get fascism too while you all judge.
You’re so angry.
… And I’m not sure I follow your point.
People are making it a what?
How did you take the leap from Carney not standing up to Trump about trans people to straight up fascism?
I’m more confused than anything.
-
I hate that Canada has devolved into a two-party state.
I’m with you. The whole strategic voting thing… Even I’ve been victim of it and it was no more obvious than in the last election.
A lot of people voted liberal because they wanted to shut out the conservatives, and liberal votes had the best chance of doing that.
The problem is organization and agreement.
If we all agree to drop the strategic voting and just go with who we actually want, for a single election, I’m sure things would massively change. The trick is, getting everyone to agree on anything.

That’s pretty much me too.
-
How is that a disagreement?
You made an assertion about his motivations, and I think his motivations are different.
Did that not come across?
-

This is exactly it. Carney was (willingly!) used here by Trump as a prop to normalise fascism.

Carney laughed when Trump “joked” about murdering fishing boat crews
-

You said he was just letting him be crazy in peace because arguing is pointless, I said he’s tolerating him. I think we both agree it’s for the sake of trying to achieve an acceptable deal for Canada, right?
