At the press conference, he detailed his attempts to strengthen ties with nations ranging from South Africa to India and China.

    Finally! Yes!

    Now get everyone else on board please! The sooner the US gets decoupled the sooner the rest of us can get back some kind of quality of life.

      I’m starting to think the only way to tackle climate change is for the people to start destroying fossil fuel infrastructure, starting with the highest volume targets that take the longest time to replace.

      The US has dodged its way out of every binding international treaty, including climate ones.

      I note the large investiment from Saudi Arabia UAE going towards Canada mentioned in the article; I’m not sure stopping fossil fuels is quite what he has in mind ='(

    Do it. There is nothing particularly special about the voices here. They could do well with getting taken down a few pegs.

    Carney is an Obama-esque a-hole who says really nice things but, in fact, is going to drive many more Canadians into poverty. (As one would expect from an international banker-turned-politician.)

    But he’s not wrong, and what sucks is Americans really don’t know how trade deals work, so in a year-ish when all the post-tariff trade deals go in, and the supply chain has rerouted itself around the US, we’re all going to be poorer for it except for the handful of billionaires who profited handsomely off the economic chaos.

      Someone else would have been better, but Carney is the best Canada can manage with its dogshit voting system. At least he’s a servant of the state and not corrupt dictator wannabe like Trump. (Increasingly not wannabe)

    Yes, and I can move on without my legs. Would be a shame to cut them off because of an infected toe though.

    Why do he still support Israel, the US proxy who destabilized the whole middle east?
