Mark Carney brushes off insults and threats from Donald Trump: ‘I can handle it’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off Donald Trump’s dismissal of him as “governor” on Monday, casting the threat of 100 per cent tariffs against Canada as a negotiating tactic, and offering an impassioned rebuttal to the U.S. president’s insult of NATO troops in Afghanistan as slackers.

In his first full news conference in 10 days, Carney said in French that he did not regret “a word” of his Jan. 20 speech in Davos, which appeared to irritate Trump. The American president later scolded Canada from the same World Economic Forum stage for not being “grateful” and on the weekend threatened to slap 100 per cent tariffs on its goods if Canada does a “deal” with China.

Doug Ford and Mark Carney make peace after changes to Chinese EV tariff

It’s pizza in our time.

Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney made peace over Pizza Nova slices Monday in Etobicoke.
Ford, who settled for a veggie piece, bought Carney a slice of Hawaiian, joking, “I know you will probably get me on taxes so I’ll pay for this.”

Monday’s confab at a Royal York Road plaza came after the premier had complained last week that the prime minister blindsided Ontario when he slashed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles earlier this month during a trade mission to Beijing.


Dougie seems to have bought into a new vision! The ChiCom spyware on wheels is still on the way but something swayed Ford.

Doug Ford calls federal auto strategy ‘great’ and says Ontario will be part of it after meeting with Carney and Joly

Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to have had a change of heart when it comes to the federal government’s auto strategy after hearing more about it from federal officials.

“I also want to thank Minister (Mélanie) Joly for coming up with a great auto strategy that the minister has put together that we’re going to be part of,” Ford said at a news conference with Joly at Queen’s Park Monday after the two met.

Kinda odd the way Joly is lookin at Dougie…

Is Mark Carney considering a snap spring election? ‘Of course we’re not,’ he says

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government is not considering a federal election this spring as Parliament resumed on Monday.

“Of course we’re not,” he said, when asked by a reporter if he was thinking about going to the polls during a press conference in Ottawa. “We’re focused on results for Canadians.”

Canada can’t afford housing policy status quo any longer

According to a new report, it would take the average individual a jaw-dropping 44 years to save up enough money to afford a home in Toronto without financial help from family

Housing affordability is one of the most critical issues of our time. It is dividing generations, both economically and politically.

If you take a gander at new data from the Consumer Choice Center (CCC), it’s little wonder why housing is the top political issue for millions of young Canadians in poll after poll.

Note to Mr. Carney, China is not our friend

Well, who saw that coming? Yesterday’s threat from President Donald Trump – that Canada would face 100% tariffs on all exports to the United States (US) if it “does a deal with China” – was widely reported and widely derided in Canadian political circles.

Yet if you strip away the hyperbole and the social media grandstanding, Trump’s response was both predictable and in a narrow strategic sense, reasonable. Think about it; to establish a continental security perimeter against Russia and China, he’s trying to get his hands on Greenland. But even as he’s doing that, the Government of Canada is opening up a backdoor entry point to China.

Federal government to introduce grocery rebate among other Elbowzo bribes

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to announce an increase to the GST credit on Monday, as part of a larger suite of affordability measures intended to offset the rising cost of groceries.

Two senior government sources speaking on the condition they not be named say that quarterly GST payments will increase by 25 per cent over the next five years, and the measure is expected to affect approximately 12 million Canadians.

It will also include a one-time top-up of 50 per cent in June. The program will be called the “Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.”

Electioneering?

Adam Zivo: Carney put Liberals first, even though Trump tariff threat was predictable

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose crippling tariffs should Ottawa and Beijing sign a trade deal is unacceptably coercive and mimics China’s behaviour. Yet, at the same time, Prime Minister Mark Carney could be navigating this situation better, and seems to be prioritizing political theatre over Canada’s interests.

Throughout his second presidency, Trump’s approach to foreign policy has been erratic and disruptive. While his interventions in Venezuela and the Middle East have been commendable, their benefits have been outweighed by his bullying of traditional American allies, as well as his threats to punish western economies should they fail to obsequiously follow his agenda.

I honestly believe Carney’s theatrics are a deliberate ploy designed to ensure a deal with China and the personal enrichment of he and pals.

BARBER: Mark Carney’s agendas and deception

From EV mandates to “new world order” rhetoric, the Prime Minister’s trade strategy risks Canadian jobs, energy sovereignty, and Alberta’s future.

Multiple mainstream media (MSM) news sources in Canada and the United States (US) have recently reported that Mark Carney struck a trade deal with China in response to Trump’s tariffs. This short statement says more than meets the eye.

The CUSMA (aka USMCA), which largely eliminates tariffs, became effective in 2020. This agreement removes tariffs from most agricultural goods, energy, and many industrial goods. A few items, such as steel, aluminium, and softwood lumber, are exceptions. This means that the recent US tariffs imposed by President Trump do not apply to Canadian goods qualified under CUSMA. Therefore, these new tariffs cannot be the primary motivating factor for Prime Minister Carney’s deal with China.

Has Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Made the Dissolution of Canada a Done Deal?

At the annual shindig in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made himself the folk hero of the anti-Trump crowd (that would be basically everyone). In remarks billed as receiving a “standing ovation” but which look pretty tepid on video, Carney proclaimed that Canada was going its own way because the “American hegemon” could no longer be trusted.

Conrad Black: Carney’s middle powers plan a complete fantasy

Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke purposefully at Davos this past week about adopting a more nationalistic policy for Canada. Less persuasive was his call for a league of so-called middle powers to combine to influence the superpowers to set up what he called, in the current tedious jargon, ”a rules-based international order.” He is vaguely addressing, without recognizing directly, the fact that the Western Alliance was established in 1949 to contain the Soviet Union which it successfully did until the USSR disintegrated in 1991 without exchanging a shot with any of the NATO countries. Since then there has been a gradual shift from a collective security-based to a national interest-based foreign policy on the part of the NATO countries, as well as the former blocks of so-called neutral states and the regional blocks in Latin America and Africa, none of which easily mobilized their combined influence or enjoyed much relevance to the course of international affairs. The United Nations and many of its agencies are just primal scream therapy for many of the most retrograde and primitive regimes in the world. Israel can be commended for taking the wrecker’s ball to the outlet of one of its agencies in Jerusalem.

Trump hasn’t backed off his takeover threats, and Canada’s allies have been readying themselves. What about us?

CAF Makes The Arctic Safe For Sexual Mutilation Fetishists – Watch Out Trump

After the Cold War, Canadians lived under the comfortable delusion that security was a service to be provided by someone else. We treated national defence like a subscription — one we underpaid for, assuming the United States would provide the muscle and our geography the shield.

That era has ended. With U.S. President Donald Trump determined to acquire Greenland, and with talk of Canada’s own annexation becoming dangerously mainstream, we are no longer just a neighbour; we are a target. We are in the midst of a geopolitical crisis, and according to our military’s assessment, we are uniquely vulnerable. This will become especially true when we contribute troops to NATO exercises in Greenland, as we must do.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland

OTTAWA — China’s envoy to Canada says the two countries “see eye to eye” on the need to support Greenland’s territorial integrity and Beijing wants to play a productive role in the North — even as analysts warn Moscow and Beijing are working together in the region.

“China’s consistent policy is to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. That goes to Greenland, that goes to Canada, and that goes through all the other countries,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di said through an interpreter this week.

CBC – Deporting illegal alien criminals is just like Nazi Germany!

ICE nodding to far-right extremists in recruitment posts, experts say

At first glance, there may not appear to be anything unusual about the social media posts that are part of the ongoing recruitment drive by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The posts, which encourage Americans to join ICE, use the same aggressively patriotic imagery that’s become a hallmark of the Trump administration’s online communications.

But to observers of the far-right, and to members of the far-right themselves, there is something else that is recognizable in the language of the posts.

“I would describe it as oddly very familiar as someone who has been looking at the white nationalist and neo-Nazi movement for nearly a decade now,” said Hannah Gais, a senior research analyst with the Southern Poverty Law Centre, a non-profit that monitors right-wing extremism.


Any article that cites the extreme left wing hate group Southern Poverty Law Center immediately loses all credibility.

The article is the usual CBC bilge. Patriotism is open borders and criminal illegal aliens running amuck according to the CBC. Deportations are worse than Hitler!

Islamist and ChiCom assets are literally members of our governing party but the CBC is hysterical over a virtually non-existent Nazi threat.

Are they hoping we’ll ignore the well financed, orchestrated violence of the left here and abroad comrade?

Given the CBC is just a bought and paid for LPC propaganda asset I’d say the answer is yes.
