Well he's now campaigning for an election in Alberta so presumably there's audience for this. It didn't work well Canada-wide. Come next federal election, the media cycle would ensure people don't recall this episode. If he passes leadership review.
You mean when he lost the popular vote by less than 2% and gained 25 seats while the Liberals only gained 9? Yeah, obviously nobody liked him or the Conservatives, eh?
You mean before the Liberals pulled Donald Trump out of their bag and proclaimed that he was an existential threat to the survival of Canada? The same Donald Trump that has failed at almost EVERYTHING he has attempted since he won the election, the Donald thats now so embroiled in his Epstein controversy that he may not survive the midterms? And voters fell for that fear factor, hook line and sinker. Im not saying Carney's not doing a decent job so far, but the 'Donald threat' was definitely overblown. The man is an imbecile with a shotgun in his hand firing wildly in all directions. And f'n up everything he hits. Hes an existential threat to America, all Canada has to do is wait for him to implode, which he definitely will.
LOL, they didn't have to "pull Donald Trump out of the bag". We all heard Donny Bonespurs tell the world he wanted to annex Canada as the 51st state. We watched as he tried to intimidate us with tariffs. Do you think we don't get American news up here?
PP has parroted MAGA talking points at every opportunity. Most Canadians, at least those with brains, are looking at what's happening below the border and deciding that we definitely don't want that.
Many of us also looked at the career history of the candidates and decided that a man with years of experience in banking would be better for our economy than a career politician who has never had another job, and who changed his name to try to win votes.
Of course. But it was Carney who played it up as an 'existential threat' to Canada. Its not. Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches. But the Liberal strategy was to give Donnie's pathetic weazing as much oxygen as possible, keep people scared, make sure that our economic life depended on someone handling the 'threat' and of course, who better than an international banker. Up til Carney put the spotlight on Donnie Dumpster, most Canadians were focussing on stuff that actually affects their lives like grocery prices, inflation, high housing costs, the increase in crime, the increase in drug use and the flood of TFWs. And THOSE are the things that are still affecting our lives, not the tariffs. But we took the bait and voted for the 'tariff' guy and ignored the guy who's been talking about the more important issues the whole time.
Sorry, but the head of government for the world's top superpower just the other side of the worlds longest undefended boarder threatening to annex your country is absolutely an "existential threat" to your country -even if he's a buffoon. I can't really think of a more dictionary-definition example.
He also said he'd end the Ukraine war in his first week as president. He didnt do that. He also said he'd lower the cost of goods in the US. Didnt do that. He also said he'd get 90 trade deals in 90 days. Didnt do that. He also said he'd release the Epstein files. Didnt do that. Said he'd bring manufacturing back to America. Didnt do that. Said he'd stop America's wars. Didnt do that....
He's a rambling buffoon who spouts any shit he can think of as long as it gets him on the front page every day to stroke his pathetic ego.
So maybe you believed that he was going to annex Canada but anyone who has watched this moron for more than a month knows that he'll say anything to get attention, and almost all of it is lies and made up bullshit. The only 'strategy' that Carney needs to implement is to wait for him to self destruct and then deal with the hopefully more rational leader that succeeds him.
I didn't believe he could succeed at it, but I also can't discount that he might make an attempt at it.
Just because he is incompetent doesn't mean he isn't also a bull in a China shop.
Even in his incompetence he can cause a lot of damage.
Indeeed, he already has. To his own country.
My point still stands exactly as I wrote it. Doesn't matter that he's a buffoon, and it doesn't matter how many things he fails at.
"Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches."
Tell that to all those people taken off the streets by masked men and whisked off to El Salvador or "Alligator Alcatraz".>
Thats a short term consequence and unfortunate for those people. But look at the long term consequence - America continues to lose credibility in the eyes of the world. Dumpster Donnie, while a hero to the party faithful, is increasingly despised and the American economy is paying the price as not just Canadians but other world citizens are avoiding US good and tourism. He thinks he's "winning" so bigly. He's only delaying his ouster.
