Transformation into something worse is always a possibility.

Congrats, you're fully caught up.

Tariffs is the really easy one. The data sharing they're proposing for law enforcement which is hugely problematic is a second one.

Trump is hearing that as a compliment, everyone else is hearing something else.

This cannot be stated enough. Short games are important, but you also need some that play the long game—this is the long game by Carney, and being real about things, wisely protecting Canada as much as Canada can be protected at this time, imo.

It's not a lie though. It's a crime what Trump has done to transform America into a lawless state, the only purpose of which is to enrich Trump and attack his opponents.

As in transforming America into a shambles.

Not good.

It's ridiculous.

Carney is PM of Canada. He is there representing Canadians. He is not there to stand up for Americans against Trump. That’s a U (as in USA) problem.

He told him the same thing last time. Just hand feeding Trump. Not a bad play tbh.

That comment could be taken a number of ways…….

STFU Mark! 🙄

The replies by deluded Canadians in here who think this is how you deal with someone who threatened to invade your country is giving bad South Park "Canada on strike" vibes.

Not really, Blotus has transformed the WH into a laughing stock

Well he is transformative, but only because the rest of the world is doing everything they can to avoid doing business with him, even working together with old enemies.

I watched it now. I don't think he behaved any differently than any other world leader hosted in the Oval Office

My goodness, you are thick, ain't ya?

When you think about it, Carney is right, he has transformed Canada's economy to get rid of the States influence. We got to thank Trump for that.

History will look back on Trump’s presidency & wonder why so many leaders 🇨🇦 did not own “Their Power” and how their LYING compliments enabled him to become more Brutal & Confident that he could take away the rights of his 🇺🇸people & cause havoc in the world! SHAMEFUL @mark-carney.bsky.social

@mark-carney.bsky.social You just weakened Canada 🇨🇦Mark Carney no wonder he thinks there will be a merger 🇨🇦🇺🇸 We thought you would be the strongest to deal with him but you’v ended up like they rest of WEAK leaders needing to kiss💋his ass! Absolutelt Shameful - this was not the mandate from us🇨🇦

@mark-carney.bsky.social I voted for you 🇨🇦 hated that on your last visit you thanked Trump for his “Leadership” now complimenting the most brutal uncaring President in US History! Thought you had a backbone to deal with him! You sub combed & gave away your Power 🇨🇦 You just lost my vote✅ T

I’ll allow it in the Zelenskyy way but if he pulls out a golden bullwinkle ima lose it

That wasn't a compliment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He’s definitely transformative turning United States into dictatorship

Exactly.

Why is Carney bowing down to this fucking criminal???

Just playing to his ego and then stabbing him in the back!

Carney knows how to work him.

Well he can’t actually say ‘JFC, you are a fucking moron’.

btw, I'm usually the friend in that scenario. Well, I can take a hint. I'm getting new friends...

Nah. Passive aggressive non complement

He is on the list

I was informed that elbows were up

Spot on

Not going to try and figure anything out. Canada has been tougher than most countries, let’s see where the chips fall.

I regret to inform you that US citizens stuck the world with a rapist felon.

You can transform into a chaos and disaster too #PedoTrump

Both of those things are probably true. 👍

Canadians can't control who Americans elect and how quickly those elected leaders proceed to trash their own country, but we need to insulate ourselves from the contagion and collateral damage as much as possible. Managing American decline and chaos will keep our PM's busy for years to come.

And debasing himself and your country in the process.

Well said!👏👏

... Which involves kissing Trump's ass. You can dress it up if you like, but he's still openly on his knees kissing ass in the Oval Office as Trump continues to "joke" about annexing Canada.

My view also!

Beautifully said

Exactly

Exactly!

Kowtowing & lying to a destructive dictator, who is actually working on destroying not only the U.S. economy, but also Canada‘s is throwing gasoline on the fire. Just like the corporate pirates bowing to him, it will only worsen the outcome for all of us over time. It feeds his addiction.

No, he is.

Thanks friend! It's an honor to have this citizenship(that apparently I had by birth) and it honestly made me incredibly emotional when I saw my certificate. Thank you for the welcome! 🇨🇦

In fairness, I'm no stranger to Canada(family lived there) and Letterkenny 😂

Welcome back!

I perplexed that some folks still don't understand that.

I agree... Ellie is a Trudeau hater... therefore a Carney hater. Carney will do more good than Ellie could ever imagine.

navigating how, by letting Trump drag him wherever he wants?

Well said.

We know here, and it’s working, but jeezus I am so sorry he had to do that. You could see trumpie just eating out of his hand and believing all the bullshit

The Nobel Peace Prize carrot….

its more like after handing your agresisve neighbour a knife and supporting their 'joke' about killing you and taking your home you call them such a brave person and laugh when they talk about other murders they comitted all the while you tell everyone else on the street to fuck off and obey him

Exactly

“Transformative” doesn’t necessarily mean positive.

Carney does not look comfortable. 47 just went from Chicago murders 50 A DAY and just said 50 a YEAR

That was not good to hear but …. and here he goes on Biden and his bullshit $17 trillion

That is his go to line.

It wasn't the compliment the orange anus thinks it is.

Takes me back to a wedding speech where the best man delivered what was - on the face of it - a hymn of praise to the bride. Until you really thought about it, and realised everything could be heard as a brutal put down.

Yes, he is. It turns my stomach but he has to negotiate deals for Canada so he's not going to cut off his nose to spite his face.

Lots of world leaders talk to him like this, because this is how you manage a raging narcissist who controls lots of weapons: flattery. I can't imagine any of them actually believe the things they say to him.

✅💯✅

Exactly!

Everyone is desperate for someone, *anyone*, to put that egomaniacal bully in his place, but it’s simply not in a country’s best interest to have Trump think more than 3 nanoseconds about you. We will see similar stuff from Australia’s PM at the end of October and Australians will hate it too.

Transformative-is not a value statement-but it is a factual one.

Not necessarily. Hitler was a "transformative" Chancellor.

Transformative is technically correct. Did he specify good or bad transformation? Or left it generic?

I see it differently. He's actually speaking the truth without paying one compliment. He's pointing out everything rumpty ruined and the 🍊 💩 is falling for it.

It's the same careful phrasing he used last time. He didn't say he was transforming it for the better lol

Mark Carney chooses his words carefully! It is true that Trump has transformed the USA! Unfortunately, not in a good way.

Exactly. But every time a politician comes over here their people get ticked off about something. They gotta know how this fragile orange pos is by now.

That’s the only way he’ll recognize you.

He ain’t kissing ass he’s doing what is necessary because he is going to keep him calm while Canada continues to make moves elsewhere. Take your jealousy about our PM elsewhere

Let’s not cope here, he’s kissing his ass. These guys are all cowards

It's all about the game and how you play it.

This is the way. All world leaders are doing it. He will be dead soon, no point in riling him up.

Skank

I regret to hear it!

I mean it’s embarrassing for him… but.. who wouldn’t?.. it’s so easy to manipulate Trump with a couple flattering sentences. Also I “transform” delicious cuisine into shit.. transformative doesn’t necessarily mean good.

Malformative

He is transformative, just in an incredibly disgusting, evil, villainous way of transformation.

So was Hitler

Very disappointed in your comment aaron.

As a Canadian, I want to puke. Sucking up to gangsters is a self-defeating posture. A pity Charlie Angus is not our PM, he decries the gangster regime in stark and true ways.

Every time I watch a foreign leader sitting while trump speaks I wonder if the benny hill theme tune or the circus tune is going through their heads...holy f#@k!

He also knows that Trump’s ego must be flattered and puffed. Negotiated deals with Trump are temporary and change with the wind.

It's hard to tell with Carney sometimes because he is a banker on top of being a member of the LPC. They'd suck Satan's dick live on the CBC if it meant more money for corporate sponsors. But a smarter, less narcissistic, man than Trump could see that comment goes either way.

'You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...'

Whatever. We’ll have to live with that great loss.

Canada doesn’t exist to fight your battles for you. I don’t expect nor want our PM to behave how I would behave in the presence of the USA’s fascist president.

He didn't say "in a good way".

Get back to us when you learn what transformative means and whether it is positive, negative or both. 💪🇨🇦

The world needs a new type of leader. The current crop is largely a business management type. Maybe good for running a chain restaurant if you’re into that kind of place.

And then praising him for things he did not do. PM Modi has denied trump's allegations that he brokered the deal between India and Pakistan. trump doesn't know the difference between Albania and Armenia. Those of us who care about democracy need allies to help us stand up to this demented man.

"Transformative" is a very neutral word. It's like saying someone is "special."
