Is Trudeau’s Replacement Trying To Self-Destruct Canada By Fighting Trump? (VIDEO)
Does he even KNOW has is a mosquito-swats-human ridiculousness?
Leave it to a Canadian Liberal to assume the best way to stop a fire is to douse it in jet fuel.
Here’s the Give-A-Damn Question for this story
What makes this of particular interest to American readers in the context of the escalation of tensions over the question of tariff issues, Mark Carney has shown himself openly hostile to the strength of the US dollar. (Per his Wiki page):
Carney said that the “widespread use of the US dollar”—the dominant currency pricing—”in trade invoicing, in place of the currency of either the producer or the importer”,[125] has had a “destablilizing” effect on the global economy.[126] About 50 percent of international trade relies on the US dollar as the “currency of choice”. This represents “five times greater than the US’s share in world goods imports, and three times its share in world exports”.[127] Dominant currency pricing is not problematic when there is “synchronized growth” globally, Carney said. When “the tide is rising in America while receding elsewhere”, the system needs to be revamped.
He’s not just saying this as some private rando who has stumbled his way into a position of prominence, either: One snapshot from a long series of his past associations gives a sense of who he considers his friends and associates:
Carney was a member of the Group of Thirty, an international body of leading financiers and academics, and of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum.[54][55] Carney attended the annual meetings of the Bilderberg Group in 2011, 2012 and 2019.
Trudeau 2.0 talks big
One statement Carney has made this week sounds an awful lot like a declaration of war. Instead of sitting down and hammering out a mutually-agreeable path forward that both sides can live with, Carney has made it clear that (if he wins the snap elections in April) that he has embraced the #ElbowsUp social media sloganeering and intends to treat the American economy as a hostile entity.
That makes about as much sense as the oxpecker birds making a decision to declare war on all hippos… but go off, Mark.
Trump responds,
How did he THINK Trump would respond to statements of open hostility like that?
Notice he’s treating the EU, a trading block, as if they were a single country. Why would he use that language? They have united themselves as a trading block… so they will rise or fall together. Besides, you almost have to lump all of Europe together to have an economic unit large enough to bargain with the US as anything remotely close to being peers.
What’s next? Ask the Canadian Voter
Mark Carney — newly-elected leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and (because Libs have more seats, the Prime Minister) — has never been elected by the citizens of the country to office at any level in Canada. Nor has he ever had his name on a ballot.
He hasn’t even lived in the country for the past 10 years, because after running the Bank of Canada for 5 years, he went on to run the Bank of England from 2013-2020. He has been criticized for relocating Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.’s HQ from Toronto to NYC in 2023.
He has 3 passports (British and Irish are the other two). He says he has begun steps to renounce the others.
And — of particular interest to an American reader in today’s context — Carney’s Wiki page points to a time
Canadians don’t see him as having a legitimate mandate, since no Canadians have yet endorsed him. But that isn’t stopping him from
