Canada OUTPLAYED the US - and the Netherlands is LOVING it!

Canada just redrew the Atlantic map — linking directly with Europe through ports, hydrogen, minerals & agriculture.
It’s independence done right.
While others make noise, PM Carney is building networks that last.
That’s what real leadership looks like.

Poilievre crying about “DEI hires”
- Says the guy who lost his job to Fanjoy, who won on merit
- Ousted Kurek, who won on merit
- And took Kurek's job, not on merit.
*When you accuse others of getting jobs they didn’t earn because that’s how you got yours = hypocrisy.

“Just cut taxes!” Conservatives complain...
Yeah, because that really helps when you’ve lost your job in a global economic storm 🙄
PM Carney gets it — families need stability.
A school meal program gives kids that.
I'm so proud of the National School Food Program created by the Liberals! 🇨🇦

Thank goodness Canada has Mark Carney — a world-class economist who actually understands how to juggle global markets and long-term strategy. The situation’s complex, but we’re in steady, capable hands. 🇨🇦

Trump threatens more tariffs amid China-Canada canola tariff deal

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 3d

No pressure 😅 — PM Carney’s walking a tightrope between the U.S. and China. The U.S. wants loyalty on tariffs, China wants Canada to open its market and drop barriers. Both sides have leverage, and neither plays nice for free.

The world’s moving on — and smart countries are diversifying. Canada is too. That's why PM Carney's been working on new trade routes & new partners — that’s how you protect farmers and consumers.

PM Carney is right - the old relationship with the US is over. We sided with the US on EVs & what did it get us? More tariffs, more grief, zero gratitude. The U.S. plays “I Win/You Lose” every time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLWj...

The new National School Food Program doesn't "take away" from anyone. Ignore the Conservative "spin" & celebrate our amazing Liberal government strengthening Canada's social safety net for those in need. 🇨🇦

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 3d

Over 40 years, Canada’s pattern holds:
Conservatives grow wealth that pools at the top.
Liberals grow wealth that funds people and the planet.
Different visions of prosperity — one builds profit, the other builds society.

PM Carney is working to help ordinary Canadians 🇨🇦

60,400 job gains in September!
Reporter: this is way above what most analysts predicted. Were you surprised?
TD economist: Definitely surprised.
Well buckle up naysayers. PM Carney is just getting started. He's a World Class Economic Strategist dedicated to strengthening Canada!

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 4d

As a Canadian, I just feel relief with PM Carney at the helm. Someone who actually thinks things through, focuses on what matters, and doesn’t turn every challenge into a headline. Nice to know we have a smart, calm grown-up in charge. 🇨🇦

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

His tariffs show his ignorance & arrogance. They're harmful, purely transactional & have destroyed trust with allies
He's basically a mob boss demanding nations show up & kiss the ring
He does nothing for free
This isn't about peace… I wonder what his "ask" was
#middleeastpeace

tRump says he’s “secured peace” between Israel & Hamas & deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Let’s be real:
He’s known for crooked deals
He’s known for cruelty toward his own citizens — so it’s not compassion driving him
He only cares about money & power
#money #power

Opinion: Carney’s better off without a big Trump trade deal. Just ask the Europeans

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 5d

Think other countries have done better than Canada?
– EU pledged €600B in U.S. investments just to get tariffs down to 15%.
– UK got worse "the largest industries gave up almost all trade to get slight improvements for others".
– Both deals offer no protection from new tariffs.

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 5d

PM Carney knows how to strategize. He’s steered global banks through crises. While others rushed into lopsided trade deals with Trump (and are now regretting it), Carney’s patience is pure strategy, not failure. Right now no deal is the smart deal.

There has been plenty of buyer’s remorse in countries that signed hasty agreements with Washington. Canada would be wise to wait

Blanchet mocking PM Carney’s diplomacy is rich coming from a leader whose entire political project is inward-looking.
Quebec’s Bloc don't even tolerate the use of English — the language of our biggest trading partner — yet he imagines he’d fare better negotiating with Washington?

I back David Eby! Time to put other big-mouth premiers back in their corner.
"If Alberta gets a $50 billion publicly funded pipeline, I want the same for every province & territory across Canada because their projects are just as damn important as Alberta's."
Seems fair to me.

Mark Carney on dealing with Donald Trump

rosemarydanielis.bsky.social @rosemarydanielis.bsky.social · 6d

There are few true world leaders who lead with strategy, intelligence & diplomacy, the kind our world needs to survive in harmony.
Others rule by ego & rage, creating only division, fear & destruction.
PM Carney is a true world leader calm, wise & steady.

As long as we're out of U.S. crosshairs it's a good day for Canada. And PM Carney achieved that today.
We're laying low while we build up ammunition for the fight ahead. As long as tRump is in office we're not safe.
