Carney: We’ve been under no illusions. We recognized from the start that America has changed

Pretty sure that happened during Reagan when he killed off 3/4 of all the gays. I’m getting real sick of revisionist history erasing shit like that to make a point about how bad trump sucks (and he does) but it’s lazy and ignorant. Bannon & stone got him in office too

I doubt the relationship between Canada and the US will ever be the same. Canada will never trust the US again and rightly so. It's what happens when you elect an adjudicated rapist. Twice.

I believe, however sadly, that Prime Minister Carney's responses to the Trump Administration are entirely appropriate. I wouldn't go too far with the belief that "America has changed," however. Trump's policies regarding trade and Canada have virtually no support from the American public. 1/3

What Canadians are witnessing, for the third time in their history, is constitutional failure in the US. The first came during our break with Britain, the second during our Civil War. The first involved actual invasions of Canada, the second featured talk of invasion by a heavily armed US. 2/3

Today, there is no enthusiasm whatever for Trump's belligerent boasts, but Canadians must watch as a docile Congress does nothing to restrain our executive from pursuing unpopular policies. I wish I could reassure our good neighbors to the north that we have not "changed" in a hostile manner. 3/3

Instead of the USA making Canada the 51st state. I would rather see Canada make the U.S. a Canadian province. The government and general ethics would be immeasurably improved. So tired of being embarrassed by our shit show.

Carney is taking the Trump 2 years to reduce Canada’s reliance on the US, both economically and militarily. Like Iran in the Trump War, he will wait him out and come out stronger. In support, my wife and I are in Montreal this weekend spending some tourism dollars.

I am not a fan of Mark Carney. In fact, his policies have cost his part my vote (one which they had consistently had in every federal election for the last 4+ decades). That being said, it's good to see him standing up for our country and not craving in to the Orange Blob's bullying.

As an American, this moment is hard to believe. This administration & its policies have posioned our bond with our neighbor and ally. Enduring for decades upon decades. Marked by peace with a common border. I do not fault Canada. Our current government caused this. Its shameful.

Elbows up. Canadians will boycott products now even if they are put back on shelves. Travel to US will retrace now. And Americans will pay way more for cars and anything needing aluminum. Potash tariff coming. Hey farmers- FAFO and they would still vote maga

Dear Canada, Not all of America has changed, but we get it. Sorry and we hope we can fix this soon. The plan is to be better neighbors and prevent a madman to ever have this much unchecked power again. Signed, 💙 The slim majority or normal, good Americans.

You don't. Carney said: "Americans looked to change the scope of tariffs on Canadian auto content, made efforts to restrict Canada's ability to have other trade deals around the world and made efforts to restrict Canada's protections of language, culture 'and in effect, our sovereignty."

I agree musk was too confident & some shady 💩 def happened. But 1/3 didn’t even vote* - due to apathy or some weird purity test sanctimony reason - even after trump 1.0 & project 2025 being published We’re not sold on an easy fix just by removing 1 person. He’s a symptom, not the whole disease

If he steals the midterms, what are we going to do about it? Nothing. The sad thing is that there is no bottom. This population is a morally bankrupt cesspool.

Don't apologize, just VOTE. Take others with you to the polling stations especially now for the midterms. Consider volunteering for the candidates running now and knock on doors to encourage people to vote. Help them get registered. People won't do anything unless they are woken up.

Do more than, more political action than protest in an instagramable. Cut your services, stop using your credit card, cancel subscription, decrease your spending to only small mom and pops. Let the economy know you don't like what the leadership is doing to you & everyone will financially feel it

Yes, it is. Name one politician from any party to call out the non stop lies about Canada? I'll help you out. ZERO. You watch the atrocities and war crimes being conducted in your name, and you just sit back and watch. Not a care on the world. Go watch your next movie, sporting event, etc.

The United States government hates Canada. If you are Canadian lets make Labour Day the first day of no more buying products or services that are from the United States and no vacations or day trips therenuntil they come to their senses.

Since the founding of the nation, racism and misogyny have been strangling this country; we must weed out those who still cling to the notion that others are inferior based on skin color or gender.

America hasn’t changed. We’ve always been this corrupt, racist, misogynistic, and decadent. We’ve just masked it under the lies of equality, integrity, and justice for all. The lie is over. The world has seen the truth.

I need to reitorate to all those up north. Not all of us have changed, please just hold on for a few more months and we will either prove this to you or a lot of us might be desperate to cross the northern boarder and rejoin our cousins in the north.

Made the right move - love this guy. Alberta's premier is a disgrace and a puppet for Trump and supports his agenda to break up and undermine Canadian sovereignty - I wonder what she has been promised. Alberta beware you ain't getting a ride in no catering cart.

We the People can definitely tell you how horror filled the changes have become. As with people being bullied on a bus, please be kind to us and offer help if it's needed. Ignore and shun the bullies if possible and fight back if needed.

WTF can the Hump do now? Invade Canada? It would be like sending troops into California, Connecticut or Vermont. It just won’t happen, we’re genetically the same people. This is what’s called, “checkmate”. Carney is a genuine genius.

The entire world see’s that America has changed— and nothing sbout that change is good for America or the world (except perhaps for China, Russia and N. Korea).

Don't forget the Taliban and Isis .. they be sitting back quietly watching and enjoying the 💩 show. That's why the Talib didn't put on a big show celebrating the ousting of US. They don't want 🍊💩to be distracted

Canada should close the borders for the 74 days until the US midterms. No border crossings for people or trading goods. Hopefully Americans will feel so much pain that they might vote blue in November. Some corporations might even abandon the Frump disaster.

Indeed. 63 million, 74 and 77 million vote for trump in successive elections. A massive number of Americans want all the vileness that man and his party gives them. Not helpful to pretend otherwise

America was to ignorant and racist to elect a woman so instead they elected a rapist, pedophile career criminal......who could have ever imagined that that would have been the end of America and democracy and the end of world leadership from the most inept man running your government! America F/U!!

The most dangerous phrase in politics is "we recognized from the start." It’s usually the polite way of saying they’ve spent the last few years updating their spreadsheets to match the chaos.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, a giant country & economy was left behind in Russia. That won't be the case for America as there are enough social, political and economic fault lines to fracture the country into a dozen different nations. Canada & Mexico could become N. America's largest countries!

Not only has America changed, it has made enemies out of allies, cozied up to enemies, aided in genocide, arrested, detained, tortured its own citizens..... The US of old is gone. What took its place is dark, evil, driven by hate and greed.

If there is one bit of praise I could give Donald Trump, he woke up Canadians and saved us from voting CPC. I may not agree with everything Mark Carney has done since becoming PM, but he absolutely was the right person for the job at this particular point in time

Not necessarily. It's the rot and garbage that's been exposed. Shows that we, the decent Americans, have a lot of work to get rid of the 'deplorables' and make them go back under their slimy rocks from which they came.

America's "leadership" has changed, but 70% of our country has not. Unfortunately, the racist, greedy, corrupt sociopath and his GOP cult have "control"... for now. But when we flip the tables, our overdue vengeance will be swift and decisive.

I'm so sorry. Save yourselves. There are many of us fighting for our country right now. We deserve nothing from those that we've dissed. We're on our own and e know it. We continue to resist.✊️

America no longer values or respects neighbours and allies. Instead, they have a President who aligns himself with dictators and the worst of the worst. An America who has a ruthless extortionist running his people and country into the ground while amassing huge personal wealth.

Sensible Americans see it too. I’m 63 yo. I hate what my country has become. We always had racism, bigotry but I THOUGHT we were EVOLVING above, slowly, but at least making progress. Self-inflicted ignorance, zero self-reflection is driving country further from goals of “justice and liberty for ALL”

I'm 60 this year. I don't think the damage Trump and Republicans have done in this term, as well as the last one, will be undone in my lifetime. I wonder if it will even be undone in my kids' lifetimes.

America, because of the current disastrous 🍊WH resident, is the blame. Americans, We The People, still love Canada. We pray that 🍊felon & his criminal admin will be arrested for crimes against humanity by anyone with the authority to do so.

It is a Failed State and on the brink of economic collapse. If Allies who hold over $17T in US Debt decided to sell that debt, the US $ would crash and the economy would be 1929 all over again. Sadly, it might take US Allies to take down this Fascist Regime once & for all.

The billionaire big oil AI tech broligarchy , developers private equity has crossed the border & has a stranglehold over Canada & the Left in Canada is & has been pointing that out & the Left faces backlash from the Centre who’s propping those same billionaires, for anyone really paying attention

America has changed. First, the Regime. Sowing despair, misery and death as far and wide as possible. Second, the People. 3 categories in which you can fit 100% of the electorale; the 33% who don't care, the 33% who are too afraid to revolt and the ignorant or stupid 33% who still support Trump.
