Who cares?
I suspect eastern Canada is going to hear “who cares?” during the separation referendum in 2026
“When America needs to come back…”
America does not neeed Canaduh.
Canaduh really needs America badly, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
“What, me worry?”
Canada has lost its largest customer, and management does not care.

The announcement of Canada’s $1 billion contribution to the Global Fund — down more than 17 per cent from its last contribution in 2022 — came just before Carney’s arrival in South Africa for the G20 summit.
No wonder we’re broke. Stop virtue signalling our money away, cash for pals.
I have noticed that when our politicians want to say something truly, appallingly arrogant, they slip into French. It’s less likely to be translated and repeated, and gives scope for friendly media to paraphrase so it doesn’t sound as bad as it was. French also has that wonderful quality of conveying an intrinsic sneer: “We’re in charge here, and we’re busy, very busy”.
I’ve seen this behavior repeated many times: “The minister doesn’t have to respond to the fringe media”; “We’re not going to respond to hateful fringe elements”. Responding in French has become the “fuddle-duddle” of a new generation of politicians.
Your governor slips into French whenever there is a question he’d rather not answer — he’s been doing that with some frequency lately.
Interesting little tick he’s picked up.
I think it’s wonderful that the Canadian governor is so confident and brash. He should definitely keep this up with any conversations he has with Americans going forward. It’s a winning strategy!
I wouldn’t say he “slips into” French, as a French-Canadian politician would do, as Chretien used to. He can barely speak French. He lumbers into it like a moose into the woods. And for the same reasons: concealment and protection. Nobody in the press corps can understand French, certainly not the way he grunts it. Therefore nothing he says can be held against him.
I used to think that the Trudeaus set bar for arrogance but this ghoul beats them.
Wow, just wow that the PM of Canada would speak as if he’s calling the shots. He’s still playing the Trumxxx, er, the elbows up card. Totally dysfunctional politics at the moment in Canada.
Heh heh. Touchy little fellow, eh?
Chippy and tired? Or, do you figure that maybe he’s just a bit scared? Maybe a big bit?

Yup, that is my take, uncomfortable in his roll, and used to have absolute authority, which is not the case now. In street language, he’s a GOOF!
This is the behaviour of a senior Ottawa bureaucrat.
His only important goal is like any senior bureaucrat is increasing head counts and budgets.
All that other government stuff is someone else’s job
He thinks he is winning the war with Trump. I believe him.
Well, it is entirely inside his head, so he has home field advantage.
