"It's very simple: Prime Minister [Mark] Carney and Canada caved to President Trump and the United States of America." Karoline Leavitt
Or, Liberals could support proportional representation and end project fear forever. Nah, project fear forever.
'You shouldn't criticize Mark Carney because that's how you get Pierre Poilievre' is...exactly how you get Pierre Poilievre.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Elizabeth May knew full well that Carney is full of shit on the climate when she supported his ruinous budget. She's always been a small c conservative and liked what she saw.
Her claims of disappointment and betrayal are purely preformative.

Don't worry Canadians, PM Carney is promoting democracy through FIFA, the most democracy friendly of international bodies.
The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.
Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.
Will Europe finally listen?
