Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

My first thought was – what has Carney sacrificed
My thoughts exactly. There’s all sorts of rude comments I would like to make, but I’ll just keep them to myself.
Well, done, Mr. Zinchuk! You may be learning prudence.
This has the stench of election interference written all over it . Recall DJT complaining about PP saying some nasty things about him . Perhaps he’s counting on Carney to completely tank our economy even more that Trudope.
Assuming that Carnage is elected…
An odd sounding message indeed, surely a more appropriate message would be “we will await with interest the outcome of the Canadian election and hope to meet the next elected prime minister of Canada to discuss all important concerns” — this sounds like Trump or whoever wrote the message expects Carney to win.
I like 90% of Trump’s agenda but I think the administration should stay on the sidelines as far as our election goes, and they should have waited for 90 days before imposing any tariffs on Canada, to see what the decision was here. It’s legitimate for them to want us to spend more on military and border security but placing all this pressure during an election campaign is counter to their own best interests. It shows a lack of subtlety in thought processes that does not really surprise me. But it is what it is, we’re stuck with this and if Trump unintentionally saddles us with another Liberal government it will likely lead to huge national unity problems later this year and for the foreseeable future. If that’s the plan and the reason, it amounts to interference in our internal affairs and is a hostile act against the Canadian people.

Canada has been laggard since WW2, not doing her share in NA defense, nor they NATO obligations, so why does it take a USA president to make them do so, and it ain’t just the bureaucrats and politicians who are at fault , it’s also voters, who use the wrong criteria to place their votes.
If PeePee bad mouthed Trump, it places him right up there with andy scheep, and girly erin O’Stool , john screw the hired help tory
We need conservative politicians who are Conservative.
Good to hear from you Peter.
Your right and it bothers me a little too.
The problem is for many years.
Our own government has been hostile towards what made Canadians Canadian.
Who’s worse? Considering in these matters there are no accidents.
I know where my heart lies.
And why should we wait with regards to reciprocating tariffs? It isn’t like Pollievre has made comments that are not “Team Canada, Elbows Up!” himself. To be fair to Canadians? To be nice to them? To honor their sacred elections? To honor the moral code/global rules based order, something like that?
We don’t care who you get. And also, no word from my President on any backing off of the tariffs, not in that post — he’s had ‘nice, productive phone calls’ with Zelensky and just about everyone else. He’s not going to be handing your government a blank check no matter who gets in.
Yeah, something just changed. Carney just checkmated Poilievre on Trump. The incumbency advantage; as sitting PM, Carney’s able to place that call and have that discussion. Trump issuing this statement gives the Liberals an atomic sledgehammer for the rest of the campaign: “We’re standing up for Canada, and president Trump respects Mark Carney’s strong leadership!”
There’s no avenue that Poilievre can take against that. He can’t call Trump, and even if he could, he’d be a day late and a dollar short. There’s no line of attack he can levy against Trump’s statement that won’t sound desperate.
If Trump backs off on the tariffs against Canada next week, no matter how small, it’s another Carney win: “Mark Carney’s strong leadership led president Trump to back down from his aggressive tariffs!” If that comes to pass, the fat lady’s singing. It’ll be all over but the counting. The centrists will flock to Carney in droves and we’ll have another four years of Liberal majority government. The election map will look like 1997 or 2000. Red everywhere except AB & SK. Hell, you’ll see Liberals elected in the cities in AB & SK even.
My God, I hate the Liberal Party of Canada. Their powerlust, their corruption, their arrogance, their self-righteousness. I hate that it works and that this country wants nothing better for itself than Liberals.
It not only makes Carnage look good, it makes Trump look bad. It looks like Trump blinked.
Time to emigrate then. Pack up and leave Soviet Canuckistan to the Sikhs, Chinese, Moslems and Arabs. Just move on. Be done with the place and move somewhere where you and your skills will be allowed to flourish.
Much easier said than done when you have deep family connections. My life is likely to have to play out here, but sure as hell I’ll be counseling my children to make their lives elsewhere.
Well if that’s the case. Then one thing seems certain Trump is indeed indifferent to progs and decline.
For both countries.
I’ll tell you one thing that it shows – Pee-pee missed another boat.
What a little chicken. Getting bested by a putz like carney. He’s had 4 months to make a call, but he was too scared. His little advisors in elf suits told him no, no, no!
PP worked very hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
https://338canada.com/federal.htm
Well, he ain’t defeated yet. But I think he might be. DNA, you know …
https://youtu.be/jZsHd62xchU
Was it a mistake for PP to join the anti-American bandwagon? It just may be, but I can’t see how PP could have avoided that trap.
Geez, those lieberals are good campaigners, aren’t they?
If only they were even half as good running the country as they are running a campaign.
Maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I remember the liberal governments of Chretien, and Martin. I didn’t agree with their politics, but they sure kept Canada’s economy above water.

Well, I tell you one thing: if Pee-Pee had guts and smarts he’d get a congratulatory phone call in to Trump before turdo.
He could have taken a more neutral approach. But, he didn’t. Oh well. It isn’t my country’s fault that he didn’t either.
They did that by dumping the debt onto the provinces?
Yeah he could have been on Rogan long ago, when he had the guts to say it was broke and it still is.
What madness – a mentally hobbled country thinking they’re winning.
Woke has become a feature here, Trump knows it . Why would he reward the mentally hobbled by feeding them, when he seems to enjoy tormenting them?
Agree! I was really hoping he would proceed in the Danielle Smith manner of diplomacy. Epic fail!
How much is Poilievre being paid to throw the election?
Well alrighty then … Brian … you’ve obviously WON! Booing our anthem, elbows out, promising massive retaliatory tariffs, and deepening your tongue kiss with Xi … all did the trick! You’ve beaten Trump! CANADA STRONG!! Slava Ukrainia!! Free, Free, Palestine!!
I’m so ashamed of the mean, erratic, unpredictable, baaaaad Orangemann
Remind me again? Which comes first? April 2 … or your weird “snap election”?
You forgot: “Brutal Americans”. We’re “Brutal Americans” now, and Doug Ford knows exactly how to deal with us!
Thank you for your ‘friendly amendment’ which I accept … yes, we are soooo brutal. And brutish. It’s probably all our toxic masculinity, err old white male testosterone … even those old white men using the cream or the clear …
I’m of course a woman. I don’t think we’ve been brutal enough; perhaps that will change. I hope it does.
“You forgot: “Brutal Americans”. We’re “Brutal Americans” now, and Doug Ford knows exactly how to deal with us!”
Ford gave us all a free preview of any future Carney vs. Trump negotiations. Doug Ford played the tough guy for, what…4 hours or so?
Reality just doesn’t care about your bluster and bravado.
I really don’t see this as anything but Trump accepting the reality that a majority will vote for Carney and elect him instead of just having him installed. PP seems like a nice enough uy but without the fire or support to actually do anything. Obviously, all I know about him is from reading these august pages and comments.
Or, this is actually 47 d chess and Trump making nice with Carney will propel Canadians to hate him and vote for PP. Hardly, election intergerence.
I was thinking that too..How can you vote for the one Trump “likes” if you hate Trump. It is that meme where you are deciding which button to push.
No problem…doublethink is easier than trying to reason.
Having Carney win the election is the fastest way to destabilize Canada and neuter any chance of a Canadian economic recovery. Separatist voices are growing louder in Alberta and Saskatchewan, although central and eastern Canada are too far away to hear. If Carney wins, watch for Trump to quickly widen the chasm between Alberta and Saskatchewan & the rest of Canada.
I’m guessing that Trump’s support for Carney is tactical. A strategic temporary pause on economic pressure to allow the voters in eastern and central Canada to install another weak, woke, green, anti-Alberta/Sask leader. Voters in the eastern half of Canada are pretty easily fooled by shallow flattery and vote buying. They won’t know what hit them until it’s too late if Carney is elected as prime minister.
A Carney-Liberal government with a majority mandate would be just enough for the feds to hit the west hard with the biggest hammer they can find.
If these bastards are emboldened by the election, we’re going to look back on the implementation of the EA as mild in comparison.
I don’t think Alberta and Saskatchewan would stay long enough for that to happen. The rest of Canada thinks the Clarity Act would prevent separation. The Clarity Act is a piece of paper that is as worthless and unenforceable as the civil rights protections in Canadian Constitution and the safeguards written into Emergency Act. Canada can try to enforce the Clarity Act and maybe 20 or so years down the road international court will hear the case but at that point Alberta and Saskatchewan will already be long gone.
I certainly hope you’re right, LC.
Bingo LC Bennett.
President Trump is acting in the best interests of The USA.
And that so many Canadians consider his actions as “betrayal” speaks volumes of our ignorance.
As I have previously noted.
The condition Canada is in,represents both danger and opportunity to the USA.
President Trump did not bring us to our current state.
Eliminating the danger and taking this opportunity to acquire the West as cheaply as practical..
Leverage President Trump could not resist.
If his administration pulls this off,President Trump gets his own mountain at Rushmore..
Especially if he has the western Provinces pay to join the USA..
Forget Stewarts Folly.
From the back chatter it seems the US Intelligence Agencies have all the material they need on our current Dear Leaders, so why would they want them changed?
Trump will continue to torment and troll the Canadian Government,until it is no longer useful to his administration.
“Look Squirrel” is working so well,especially as our Canadian Dear Leaders have proven to be dumber than the average squirrel.
I suspect even the presidents “Advisors on Canada” never truly realized just how failed Canada really is.
Prior to the mean tweets,that is.
I also suspect that the USA has damaging information on Carney and others in the Liberal Party. The Liberals are a slimy group that operates more like an organized crime syndicate than a legitimate government. Perhaps Trump will make Carney and company an offer they dare not refuse.
Alberta and Saskatchewan would add a resource rich territory about twice the size of Texas. I think the Americans would get a fair trade, though I would prefer to be an independent territory.
We have damaging information on more than just your Liberals. Theirs is just much more juicy.
Canadians hate Trump
Trump likes Carney
Do the math on Trump’s strategy here
Also Carney can only say nice things about Trump now, PP is free to run against Trump still.
RNrn
RN… You do realize how the liebs are going to spin this, do you? They’re going to make it sound like Carney made Trump blink.
I’m truly aghast at Trump’s post this morning.
Not only did it make the unelected caretaker PM look “prime-ministerial,” it could bury PP’s hopes of winning the election completely.
This is very poor, knee-jerk reaction on the part of Trump. If that’s Trump’s strategy, It’s been poorly thought out IMHO, but I’ve underestimated him before, so let’s see how this develops.
Trump really doesn’t care who wins in Canada. If anything, he would prefer Carney, since Carney obviously does belong to and speak for the government. Poilievre can only be some schmuck who has a majority in Parliament, which may be good for a complimentary latte at the Parliament Hill Starbucks but will not help in actually dealing with the government of Canada, which is in other hands entirely.
“Canadians hate Trump
Trump likes Carney
Do the math on Trump’s strategy here ”
I can’t help but think about the South Park episode where Uncle Jimbo, while undercover in the KKK, advises them to endorse the politician that they *don’t* want to win, since “everybody hates us”.
The US does not have friends. It has interests. It is in the Trump administration’s interest to have a weak, self-destructive Canada when negotiating a trade war. The weaker Canada is when he finally drops the “you will do this or else hammer” the more he’ll get.
Tariffs are Trump asking nicely. We really don’t want him to stop being nice.
“The US does not have friends. It has interests. ”
Like any other nation.
“It is in the Trump administration’s interest to have a weak, self-destructive Canada when negotiating a trade war. The weaker Canada is when he finally drops the “you will do this or else hammer” the more he’ll get.
Tariffs are Trump asking nicely. We really don’t want him to stop being nice.”
Well said, Daniel.
Given his recent rhetoric and positions taken in statements in his “Values ” book ,I see little reason to believe Carney is seeking a resolution. Trump and the ensuing controversy is the Liberal pathway to victory. It is typical of Trump and his negotiations to make positive statements about those he is dealing with. We will see if Carny can avoid the trudeau path of immediately backstabbing.
Given his previous stances , I think Carney will view this as another opportunity to proceed with the great reset. We build back better, now it is build back stronger. Prepare for wealth redistribution. Central bank digital currency and universal basic income. If you have been a prudent saver and successful, expect your access to those assets to be controlled. It’s for our own good and will be necessary to save the country! (sic) It is looking like there is enough sheep to keep them in power.
From Carney’s Book.

A lot can happen in the weeks ahead.
A LOT can happen in a month.
A lot can happen in real estate!
I believe the words ” Thank-you sir may I please have another ” were heard through the door .
Trump has pictures and bank deposit receipts of all the Liberals for the past 40 years doing all kinds of awful stuff to us.
He described them over the phone “Here’s one of your wife with her top off with her girlfriend Gislaine Maxwell”
“Here’s Trudeau on the beach with an undercover honeypot that Joe Biden sent to his island retreat while his wife and kids were sleeping.”
Here’s Paul Martin’s cheque from China being deposited into his offshore account”
And so on and so on.
“What ever you want Mr President.”
Mark Carney isn’t just negotiating from a position of weakness he’s been beaten already.
He will be getting coffee, if they ever meet.
Trump gets 1/3 of the natural resources on the planet and the only two productive paying provinces and we get left holding all the entitled pensioned up drains sucking the life out of us with no ability to pay.
The smoldering remains they want to rule over
Thanks Leftards.
Trump could change his mind 10 times on Carney before the election ,people read WAY to much into some of the things Trump does PP will win going away and you eastern folk can go bother someone else
The strategy here is “Divide and Conquer!” Soon to be known as the Trump Gambit.
Quebec will not allow a pipeline east and will not tolerate interference in their egg and dairy quotas.
Ontario Liberal base will vote Liberal no matter who is the leader.
The Maritimes will always vote nationally for the Liberal meal ticket even when the Liberals allow foreign vessels to plunder our Atlantic fisheries because we have no navy to dissuade Chinese and Korean raiders.
Manitoba and BC are wishy-washy and are non-players in the Election Game.
Alberta and Saskatchewan are the Prize that Trump is after to extend the Monroe Doctrine. As it stands Alberta has been p*ssed at the rest of Canada ever since Pierre the Elder introduced the National Energy Scam. Saskatchewan is just catching up to how they are getting ripped off with their oil, potash, wheat, canola, and uranium tariffs. (CN and CP don’t help much with Saskatchewan’s position and a new north-south rail link would prove an advantage.)
So Carney gets elected and Alberta and Saskatchewan opt for a separation referendum before Eastern Canada screws them over once more and with a guarantee of a bigger market via America financial aid, Trump wins.
In as much as Greenland is concerned we will see something similar happening there. A major US naval station positioned in Greenland which would augment the base in Alaska will seal the North-West Passage and ensure the Security of America. I’m sure the citizens of Greenland would appreciate the economic benefits of twenty or thirty thousand military paychecks coming into the country every month.
A fractured Canada wouldn’t last ten years before it would be clamoring for statehood.
Forget the “Elbows Up” b*llsh*t, a better meme would be “Buckle Up” because we are in for a wild ride should the Liberals get back into office.
Ahem:

Carney’s wife works for Eurasia Group; Bremmer is the head of Eurasia Group.
Again, with emphasis: it doesn’t matter WHO you get in as PM; we don’t care; this is the reality and not the hype.
thanks for that link.
unknown jane’s link, SHOULD HAVE IT’S OWN THREAD !!!
Thank you. You Canadians should probably look into it. I believe Butts and Solomon (sp?) are connected to Eurasia Group as well, and they are heavily connected to Carney/the Liberal Party. Bremmer’s article is informative.
All this “Elbows Up Team Canada! We Are NOT for Sale!” is just so much blather.
I bet Prince Blackie has already been signed on as director at Eurasia group but they’re covering it up until Carney takes over.
