In all of this one point we miss about Carney is that he has been playing this game much much much longer than most of us can know. Carney knows the fallibility of greed probably better than anyone in the world. He’s made a deep study of it since the financial crisis of 2008 at least.
The understanding of the narcissistic underpinnings of the financial world make his use of the tactics you describe seem like second nature
Trump overplayed his hand when he threatened Greenland. Carney knew it and seized the moment without a moments hesitation.
I truly can’t believe the people who waste their time trying to downplay either the speech or his leadership.
Omg I am having my morning coffee delighting on this article and truly immensely proud of our PM’s amazing brain power and leadership, then your comment comes about and you truly made me laugh, so thank you, stupidity brings laughter at times.
I love the way he first listens to then fumbling his notes, eyes down , then up he comes looks straight ahead and meticulously dismantles the stupidity in front of him Nothing ad hominem Just the facts. m’am.
He has the pitcher’s slow wind-up , the fluid release , with the goalie’s wide and deep vision to the geometry unfolding in front of him
What about ghislaine maxwell? How does she factor in? What about invocation of emergency’s act…he was there in the background? What about lack of french in his speeches, can’t even say 25%? Does this make your coffee come out of your nose?
What about. What about. What about??? So what about! While you sit there from your rung on the bottom and pick apart a great mans attempts to save our country I will invite you to go eff yourself and return to the CPC. While the entire world is standing and applauding our PM, you are what abouting him. Carney isnt the problem, idiots like you are! Take your separatist ass and move to the US FFS. If you cant be Canadian you are no use to us loyal Canadians.
Dear god, could you at least come up with a substantial rebuttal for the actions PMMC has taken to try to reestablish our trade and security arrangements?
Your retort is devoid of any intelligence and is proof that you're incapable of understanding complex arguments.
Thank you! When you control the narrative ie legacy media…to own the game! The number of “deals” Carney has made that directly benefit Brookfield have been well published in non mainstream media…billions to Ukraine…prior Trudeau & Freeland…money laundered billions to Ukraine, & look where she is now!! Going after Trump (not that he doesn’t deserve criticism) is a pass time of our media which deflects the destruction of the Canadian economy via systemic corruption, 15 million immigrants (most while we where locked in our homes), Trudeau, Freeland & the big fish CARNEY work for WEF …period ….Carney is polished, shrewd & plain EVIL… it’s incredible and depressing to see how many boomers, especially older boomers that still receive their information via legacy media or mainstream media and are completely brainwashed as a result! Carney is raping Canada blind…as did Trudeau & Freeland …again I repeat “systemic corruption”…
And there is is your problem - and the problem facing the current US administration - where power is perceived only as military and economic might. The soft power being harnessed by Mark Carney is more powerful - and up until this current administration this has always been the strongest weapon in the US's armoury. Your allies more often did things in America's interest rather than their own. Canada followed America's trade tariffs with China to support America; your former allies followed America into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, not becuase it was in their interest, but because America asked them to. This power ensured and underpinned the dollar and the American economy as it guaranteed America being seen a safe place to invest.
This power isn't macho and can't be used to intimidate or bully and as such Trump and you attach no value to it and so you've thrown it away.
What is brilliant about Mark Carney, is that he fully recognises this potential and as former head of both the Bank of England and the Canadian Central Bank he fully understands how the markets work and to use this soft power - so he has picked it up - and as a none Candian you can't deny how masterly he has performed, by contrast to Trump who performed "like a bull in a China shop".
If you can't recognise this then that reflects on you - I can assure you the rest of the World has seen and it is watching the power of the US ebb away!!
Trump is destroying the WTO, the IMF, WHO, UN, NATO - in all Trump has pulled the US out of 66 International Organisations and Treaties - all organisations the US has played a leading role. He is now trying to replace them with new organisations - The Peace Board, the G5 - if you now want to see where American infulence lies - look at the proposed members of these new bodies.
The G7 - America, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and the UK.
The proposed G5 - America, Russia, India, China and Japan (China and Japan hate each other as do China and India).
Google members to the PeaceBoard - you decide if America is stronger under Trump. Then Google the UN.
Really, I am amazed at the amount of stupidity that is coming out of your cake hole.
Are you jealous of how intelligent he is compared to the paperboy Poilievre? Its amazing how gullible you people are. I bet you one of those uneducated sepretists, anti vaxer and someone who believes that the world is flat or dont believe in climate change. Brain dead.
🙄 exhausted by it and the media outlets going along with the narrative that he’s done nothing for affordability unchallenged.
What have the con’s suggested that would improve affordability give GST tax breaks to housing developers? Remove taxes that don’t exist? Ignore the global factors of inflation
It makes me so angry that the media accept the criticism without question. It’s empty and unthinking
The only people that do not see that they are part of a cult are those that are in it !!
The cult of Carney has legacy media behind him (paid for with Canadian tax dollars I made add) and making Trump the big bad beast serves Carney . Not the Canadians!
our country has been systematically dismantled under Trudeau and Freeland and they’re deeply systemic corruption of money laundering to Ukraine funds flowing to their friends and family, and now Kearney and the former worked for WEF aka elites as does Carney …people are beyond blind because they’re getting their news a.k.a. their propaganda from mainstream media!
Wakeup… well people were locked in their houses for reasons that we are completely illogical and have been proven false… we were inundated with immigrants, i.e Kalastani’s.. massive inflation was created by disallowing people to work and forcing them to stay at home and receive their $2000 a month, children missed two years of schooling, first second third year generation businesses gone forever, the restaurant industry, crushed and inflation through the roof… we are being run by a criminal organization, and people are unbelievably blind, naïve, and simply ignorant to the fact that we no longer live in a democracy!
You are entitled to express your opinion…perferably with facts…attacking on a personal level indicative of your own ignorance not my well expressed opinions. 😁
Carney told TruDOH to bankrupt Canada. So TruDOH did his best. TruDOH added 500 BILLION to the debt, and CARNEY is on TRACK to do the SAME!! All the people who love Carney...just remember that when Canada is BANKRUPT, and there are breadlines, and your home is worth nothing, and billionaires are carving up all Canada's resources to get rich - You voted for this
Did you read his speech? I urge you to do so. There is nothing about democracy. There's a lot about government control. There is also net zero There are a number of claims that are not true. Best economy, lowest inflation, heading to a balanced budget, investing in our future. He talked of increased military spending which he has intimated before that he will combine the Coast Guard and DOD budgets as well as make the military net zero. This is not military spending it is smoke and mirrors and idealism.
Yes he has been playing these games much longer than the opposition. Both PM Carney and former PM Trudeau apparently have a wealth of global experiences. 😬
My word what an astute piece you have written. One of the best analyses I’ve read. Thank you most sincerely for it has given me hope. Of course I think we are profoundly grateful to have Carney at the helm. 🙏🇨🇦
Your attack, such as it is, does not bear up scrutiny. You offer to proof of the charges that you've made. Do you have any such proof? If so, let's hear it, so that it can be addressed concretely.
Carney’s a WEF loving globalist and says he’s a European so he could care less what happens to Canada because he’s here to destroy it and reap the rewards for himself and Brookfield
That’s hilarious coming from a person that lives in a country that’s being over run by criminals and good people go to jail for posting on the internet
Yah real great shit hole you Brit’s have under Nazi Starmer
I am Canadian. It’s important to have competent leaders with influence in the world. Carney is wise, calm, intelligent and respected by many world leaders. I believe he can be a beacon of light for your citizens too. I certainly know that there are many millions of your citizens who don’t support your regime. Sending you strength. 🇨🇦
The praise of Carney is fair, deserved. He’s got integrity and expertise. But let’s keep in mind that Carney owes his election to Trump’s attacks on Canada. Carney politically will well served to keep making a show out of standing up to the bully whilst being careful not to inflame the situation more than is necessary. The article could have mixed in a little bit of the reality contributing to Carney’s current success in the course of heaping praise on Carney.
Re: Carney owes his election to Trump’s attacks on Canada
Carney only put himself in this position because he saw the need to defend Canada and the free world from the fascists to the south. He is a true patriot in the vein of the many Canadians who sacrificed their lives in WW1/2
Great analysis. Carney is creating a pathway for Canada as a stable middle power. With resources, people, and frankly low cost due to a low dollar value. This makes Canada a natural choice as a trade partner. Our problem to solve as Canadians is not to simple be a resource extractor, but to add value to our lumber, minerals and other resources while exporting them.
Those memes are what we’re all thinking and saying about you, Cindy Salter. You are a disgusting disgusting pathetic example of a human human being. You are ignorant in every possible way.
You guys have screwed this country so that that these lying corrupt liberals think that they’re untouchable no government should ever have that much power
I would be happy to get back to extracting resources. That is a value added exercise! Do we really want to refine rare earths when we can export the mess to Americans desperate to use them to make better weapons? Do we want more refineries -- maybe in your neighbourhood Cascadian Joe when we should be exporting millions of barrel and billions of cubic feet of crude and natgas? When will we start extracting and exporting these natural resources so we can afford the governments we have? Building smelters and refineries add billions of costs, years of bureaucracy and lifetime of ecological pain. Getting moving is our problem to solve!
As an American, listening to Carney is a relief. No bluster or bragging. Clear and to the point.
Carney is not a politician by trade, but he knows how to play the game. Central bankers must most of all exude confidence to maintain stability. Carney is a master at this. He also presents a factual basis for his policies. His digs at Trump are subtle enough to not be offensive, but everyone understands his message. If only we had someone as thoughtful and measured running our country.
I was stuck by some similarities between Carney’s speech and Jerome Powell’s takedown of trump after he threatened to fire him. Both laid out the facts and made their case in a clear and calm, cool collected manner. They communicated effectively with no drama. Must be a prerequisite to be a central banker.
I'm also Canadian and like Buttigieg but I'm not sure that majority of Americans are ready to elect an openly gay president. In 2016 & 2024 Americans refused to elect a woman for president.
Carney is doing a great job. He also owes his election to Trump’s sociopathy and attacks on Canada. “His digs at Trump are subtle enough to not be offensive”. Yes and smart. He also is probably calculating that playing this role of standing up to this bully without blowing things up is very good for his party and very good for his own career. The article lavishes Superman praise on Carney without mixing in the political reality and the limits that Canada is facing.
Not to mention Congress approval is required to pull out of CUSMA. Considering that 30 states depend on Canada as their biggest export customer, not sure 100% pull out will get their approval
Not to mention Article 32.10 of the USMCA ( that's what Reuters and our own Intelligence Agency CSIS correctly refer too it ) states the following:
Article 32.10 of the USMCA restricts Mexico and Canada from entering into trade agreements with non-market economies, particularly targeting China. This provision allows the United States to potentially terminate the agreement if either country signs such a deal, effectively giving the U.S. a form of veto power over their trade relations with non-market countries.
Comrade Carney and the rest of the Clown Factory obviously didn't even read or use an AI search to see what could occur if they end up doing a deal with the CCP. They jetted on over to Beijing and promptly dug themselves a hole. Hence the big shutdown of the big Presser in Quebec City cause some lawyer decided to look at the paperwork and rightfully said " we're gonna get burned badly if this China EV deal goes thru. " The only benefit was of course to Brookfield and the Chinese company who provides parts and batteries to those EV's. Carney owns stock options in that company that at the end of 2024 were valued at nearly 20 Million Dollars. Guess what they would be worth when the EV's start flying off the production line. Not to mention the zero benefit to our fast sinking automotive sector.
You conveniently forgot one word - Article 32.10 of the USMCA prohibits entering into a “FREE trade agreement” which is significantly different from saying we cannot enter into trade agreements.
Get your facts right…was not a trade deal, was only removal of tariffs that brought every thing back to what is was before. And Brookfield nor their subsidiaries make EV batteries except 12 volts for any car
“We are excited to grow our business with the acquisition of Power Solutions, a global market leader which generates consistent cash flows and profitability,” said Cyrus Madon, CEO, Brookfield Business Partners. “We look forward to partnering with the management team to continue growing this world-class business and build on its track record of innovation.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Brookfield, that shares our vision of value creation through long-term commitment,” commented Stéphane Etroy, Executive Vice-President and Head of Private Equity at CDPQ. “This transaction enables us to acquire not only the world leader in automotive batteries, but also a model in terms of environmental and health & safety measures, that runs one of the most efficient industrial recycling systems globally.”
Johnson Controls announces breakthrough partnership with Chinese ecommerce giant JD.com to serve high-growth automotive battery replacement market.
Brookfield is not the Canadian government so not sure I get your point besides the fact that Carney’s blind trust may still have some Brookfield shares. If you’re so convinced that Brookfield is making pile of money because Carney is now Prime Minister….buy some shares
P.s. Brookfield has interests in companies that produce and sell as we speak only 12 volts batteries for all cars. They do not produce EV batteries
Anybody who has a pension plan will likely have shares in Brookfield. Conspiracy theorists go on as if Mark Carney was running the company, while serving as PM; they continue to refute the existence or purpose of the blind trust he immediately set up when he was chosen as the Liberal leader, to meet conflict of interest rules. You can be sure if the shoe was on the Conservatives’ foot, they would be perfectly satisfied with such action. If they don’t like the rules, they can always bring forward a Bill in Parliament to tighten the rules. It’s more effective politically to keep up the noise in social media, attacking the PM’s credibility.
It's called a Conflict of Interest , of which Carney had over 100 as of 2025.
Also what is interesting in the Preliminary Agreement between the CCP and Canada is this area concerning Steel & Aluminum .....
Steel and Aluminum
Canada will extend to the end of 2026 previous remission measures for certain Chinese steel and aluminium products that are in short supply in Canada, covering 66 lines of product-specific remissions (11 full remissions and 55 partial remissions), and 49 tariff lines of company-specific remissions. Canada will also expand remissions coverage to 7 steel, 2 aluminum, and 4 steel derivative products. This expansion will enter into force by March 1, 2026, and be retroactive to January 1, 2026.
This measure covers steel, aluminum, and derivative products that are in low or have no supply in Canada, meaning they are not made by Canadian producers in sufficient volumes to serve the Canadian economy.
Remission means Remove. So according to the paras above our steel and aluminum industry will get second fiddle to the CCP. It would be interesting to hear what Rio Tinto has to say about their foundries and smelting plants business being directly affected by CCP supply.
So our steel and aluminum industry , which sorely needs new markets , will see the CCP get tariff free access to supply Canada. Doesn't look good for any much needed expansion of jobs and opportunities in our steel and aluminum industry.
Very good job pointing out what a fool can come up with.
Carney and Xi both had to explain to trump it wasn't a free trade agreement at all. In fact, all he did was reset the relationship , so the trade that was happening before could restart, and that includes the EVs. But good job pointing out that you misread what was happening!
Wrong. Withdrawing from CUSMA takes effect six months following notification.
"A Party may withdraw from this Agreement by providing written notice of withdrawal to the other Parties. A withdrawal shall take effect six months after a Party provides written notice..."
It does probably require congressional approval, and given the disruptions it would entail, that may be difficult.
That’s hilarious because carney will destroy Canada and be off to his next agenda but his brainwashed supporters just can’t seem to see the evil within
Thank you so much for this well reasoned piece. I am a Canadian but I live in Brasil, a country whose president has no compunction whatsoever about showing Trump the middle finger. Brasil has embraced the same strategy that Carney is expounding - develop alternate markets and relationships even if it means holding your nose on occasion while signing the agreement. Brasil’s growth has been nothing short of miraculous because, like Canada, Brasil produces what the world wants - metal and energy commodities, agricultural commodities, things that can easily shift to more willing purchasers. Inputs that the U.S. needs in order to produce it’s most exported products - financial services and inflation. Markets are indeed telling the tale. Gold, silver, copper markets - representing real world production inputs - have been soaring while more abstract markets (especially crypto) have been hammered. Carney is simply seeking leverage in negotiations and is marshalling the resources (literally).
Thanks for this! A very useful way to look at the contest between one of the leaders of the Free World (Carney) and the ‘Wannabe Hegemon’, who says , ‘ Canada ‘doesn’t have the cards’. We cannot help but be anxious, having to depend on market perceptions to save the Democratic world though.
Hey Cindy ( if that is your real name) stop projecting the Trumpian persona on to Carney. Or anyone who doesn’t play his game. Let me guess- Jerome Powell is out for personal gain too, right?
Really good piece, very easy to understand how subtle market shifts and trade deals put the jack back in the box...the resistance here knows it's going to get worse before it gets better, decades of dissent ignored and no leverage against our own military and flaccid Congress unwilling to use its own powers, states that could counter the fed by taking functions back and refusing to enforce federal law but so many states captured by the same morons or thinking if they keep selling our land to foreign countries somehow they aren't going to be on the short end of the stick. I've seen foreign arbitrage and it doesn't end well for the locals. Love Carney, love the discipline he brings and hope when we can turn the page here his influence will bring peace and stability back to this continent if merely through example of leadership. Btw people in the northern states have been hoping Canada would take us if we seceeded for years. It's been a decade of existential crises and getting dragged through the mud every day, we are tired but just have to outlast these f*ckers and hope there's something left of our land for us when it's over.
I wish CBC acknowledged the genius of Mark Carney and stopped boot licking Pp. We need a rapid fire CNN Adam Mockler to blast MAGA lies, CBC gives us Rosie O’Donnell. It’s up to Substack writers to provide this content. Thank you 🫶🏼 for your’s.
Thank you for that excellent analysis. It is reassuring that Carney knows what he is doing. Your clarity will help all of us increase our understanding. It would be nice if PP understood it, and better yet if his sycophant, Danielle Smith, understood it as well.
First off, he is keeping people churned up about Trump. Are you for real? Are you so deeply brainwashed by the CULT that you don’t see what is happening down there, and to us. Are you so anesthetized that you can’t comprehend that murdering people in the streets is wrong. Are you so deluded that you believe Trump will take care of us in his malevolence?
Now, what has Carney done? He is building alliances with the world. We are part of the European defence procurement program. We have offset some Chinese tariffs. We are set to open trade relations with India. We have aligned ourselves with nations who have a way of standing up to Trump using financial assets. Our PM received a standing ovation at Davos. Another thing is to look at what he hasn’t done. He hasn’t arrested adversaries to his regime. He hasn’t arrested journalists. He hasn’t arrested children. He hasn’t allowed law enforcement to shoot a mother in the head at point blank range and he hasn’t been responsible for shooting a man in the back 10 times.
My advice to you, get psychiatric help or in true cult fashion get beamed up to the mothership - the US of A.
In all of this one point we miss about Carney is that he has been playing this game much much much longer than most of us can know. Carney knows the fallibility of greed probably better than anyone in the world. He’s made a deep study of it since the financial crisis of 2008 at least.
The understanding of the narcissistic underpinnings of the financial world make his use of the tactics you describe seem like second nature
Trump overplayed his hand when he threatened Greenland. Carney knew it and seized the moment without a moments hesitation.
I truly can’t believe the people who waste their time trying to downplay either the speech or his leadership.
I like how you underline the link between greed and narcissism which goes up to unlimited greed and malignant narcissism.
Omfg these carney lovers are pathetic
There’s nothing remotely human about this little man except pure greed and arrogance
Omg I am having my morning coffee delighting on this article and truly immensely proud of our PM’s amazing brain power and leadership, then your comment comes about and you truly made me laugh, so thank you, stupidity brings laughter at times.
They hate being laughed at. You’d think they’d be used to it? So grateful for PMMC and the majority of Canadians. 🇨🇦🥂
I love the way he first listens to then fumbling his notes, eyes down , then up he comes looks straight ahead and meticulously dismantles the stupidity in front of him Nothing ad hominem Just the facts. m’am.
He has the pitcher’s slow wind-up , the fluid release , with the goalie’s wide and deep vision to the geometry unfolding in front of him
The puck stops here.

As opposed to trump and his sycophants pure greed and arrogance, but combined with malice?
Very true. Commie Carney is a traitor.
And there is is your problem - and the problem facing the current US administration - where power is perceived only as military and economic might.

When it comes to dealing with powerful narcissists I’m sure this is not his first rodeo.

Get your head out ass
Carney’s a WEF loving globalist and says he’s a European so he could care less what happens to Canada because he’s here to destroy it and reap the rewards for himself and Brookfield
So get lost nay sayer
Ooh! Dearie!! I feel sorry for folks like you who have allowed what sense you might have had to be destroyed. Glad I live I beautiful London UK.
That’s hilarious coming from a person that lives in a country that’s being over run by criminals and good people go to jail for posting on the internet
Yah real great shit hole you Brit’s have under Nazi Starmer
I’m guessing, Jane, that you may be Canadian. If so, I would like to add that many Americans are pleased that Carney is at the helm as well.
I am Canadian. It’s important to have competent leaders with influence in the world. Carney is wise, calm, intelligent and respected by many world leaders.

Now that is the stupidest comment that I’ve read here yet
You’re not living under a government that stripping Canadians of all their freedoms and rights
We’re taxed beyond belief and he just keeps flooding our country with cheap labour to help crash our system but yah he’s a great fucking leader 🤢🤢🤮
Astro-turfing troll, "Kasey". Reported.
I’m not a freaking troll fool
And have a right to voice my discontent about the prick that’s destroying Canada whether you like it or not
Grow up
Respectfully disagree. He is a WEF minion.
I call bullshit!
Have the courage to put your name to your reply.
The praise of Carney is fair, deserved. He’s got integrity and expertise. But let’s keep in mind that Carney owes his election to Trump’s attacks on Canada. Carney politically will well served to keep making a show out of standing up to the bully whilst being careful not to inflame the situation more than is necessary. The article could have mixed in a little bit of the reality contributing to Carney’s current success in the course of heaping praise on Carney.
Re: Carney owes his election to Trump’s attacks on Canada
Carney only put himself in this position because he saw the need to defend Canada and the free world from the fascists to the south. He is a true patriot in the vein of the many Canadians who sacrificed their lives in WW1/2
I think the point of the story was not why he is here but now that he is, and given the reality this is how he is dealing with reality.
Carney owes his election success to himself. It’s now crystal clear Poilievre was never up to the job of PM of Canada
😂
Great analysis. Carney is creating a pathway for Canada as a stable middle power. With resources, people, and frankly low cost due to a low dollar value. This makes Canada a natural choice as a trade partner. Our problem to solve as Canadians is not to simple be a resource extractor, but to add value to our lumber, minerals and other resources while exporting them.
🤣😂😂🤮😂🤮
Those memes are what we’re all thinking and saying about you, Cindy Salter. You are a disgusting disgusting pathetic example of a human human being. You are ignorant in every possible way.
Give it a rest
You don’t like it like we don’t care
You guys have screwed this country so that that these lying corrupt liberals think that they’re untouchable no government should ever have that much power
🤮🤮🤮
I would be happy to get back to extracting resources. That is a value added exercise! Do we really want to refine rare earths when we can export the mess to Americans desperate to use them to make better weapons? Do we want more refineries -- maybe in your neighbourhood Cascadian Joe when we should be exporting millions of barrel and billions of cubic feet of crude and natgas? When will we start extracting and exporting these natural resources so we can afford the governments we have? Building smelters and refineries add billions of costs, years of bureaucracy and lifetime of ecological pain. Getting moving is our problem to solve!
Boy this article certainly brought the cockroaches out from behind the baseboards!
They only come out when there’s something chewy.
As an American, listening to Carney is a relief. No bluster or bragging. Clear and to the point.
Carney is not a politician by trade, but he knows how to play the game. Central bankers must most of all exude confidence to maintain stability. Carney is a master at this. He also presents a factual basis for his policies. His digs at Trump are subtle enough to not be offensive, but everyone understands his message. If only we had someone as thoughtful and measured running our country.
I was stuck by some similarities between Carney’s speech and Jerome Powell’s takedown of trump after he threatened to fire him. Both laid out the facts and made their case in a clear and calm, cool collected manner. They communicated effectively with no drama. Must be a prerequisite to be a central banker.
you could have Pete Buttigieg - just as brilliant, a true public servant!
and you are going to need very honest ppl in the next admin & congress to clean all this up!
i hope ppl truly concentrate on the primaries bc that decides it!
Do the research trust but verify with real sources not corporate sponsored bs!
I agree, Pete Buttigieg is a true patriot. As a Canadian, I feel he is one of the most sincere men. U.S. would be lucky to have him run for 2028.
I'm also Canadian and like Buttigieg but I'm not sure that majority of Americans are ready to elect an openly gay president. In 2016 & 2024 Americans refused to elect a woman for president.
Carney is doing a great job. He also owes his election to Trump’s sociopathy and attacks on Canada. “His digs at Trump are subtle enough to not be offensive”. Yes and smart. He also is probably calculating that playing this role of standing up to this bully without blowing things up is very good for his party and very good for his own career. The article lavishes Superman praise on Carney without mixing in the political reality and the limits that Canada is facing.
Too bad it’s a game tho JR .. otherwise .. I agree ☺️
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yah if you a like listening to a freaking communist narcissistic psychopath
Then sure 👍
Oh oh Cindy . . . You missed a few MAGA school-yard insults. Cry harder.
I’m not a maga so get your facts straight and I could care less what you libs think so get lost
🤮🤦♂️🤮
Yep, he shares Trump’s communist assault on small business and cult of personality, but a whole ten years behind!🤪
You have to be one of the most uninformed people to ever to believe that this grifter of a banker is good for Canada
Wake-up man 🙄🙄🤪🤪
Thanks for the compliment, Cindy. (though I have no idea where you've sourced my supposed belief!)
Hahahaha whatever
You should hear him bragging, all the time
Hi I’d like correct something
CUSMA is NOT up for renegotiation, it’s an update
If 🇺🇸 pulls out we continue with the current until June 30th, 2036
If 🇺🇸 wants to completely withdraw they have to give everyone 6 month transition
🇺🇸 companies will never let him!
Not to mention Congress approval is required to pull out of CUSMA. Considering that 30 states depend on Canada as their biggest export customer, not sure 100% pull out will get their approval
Not to mention Article 32.10 of the USMCA ( that's what Reuters and our own Intelligence Agency CSIS correctly refer too it ) states the following:
Article 32.10 of the USMCA restricts Mexico and Canada from entering into trade agreements with non-market economies, particularly targeting China. This provision allows the United States to potentially terminate the agreement if either country signs such a deal, effectively giving the U.S. a form of veto power over their trade relations with non-market countries.
Comrade Carney and the rest of the Clown Factory obviously didn't even read or use an AI search to see what could occur if they end up doing a deal with the CCP. They jetted on over to Beijing and promptly dug themselves a hole. Hence the big shutdown of the big Presser in Quebec City cause some lawyer decided to look at the paperwork and rightfully said " we're gonna get burned badly if this China EV deal goes thru. " The only benefit was of course to Brookfield and the Chinese company who provides parts and batteries to those EV's. Carney owns stock options in that company that at the end of 2024 were valued at nearly 20 Million Dollars. Guess what they would be worth when the EV's start flying off the production line. Not to mention the zero benefit to our fast sinking automotive sector.
You conveniently forgot one word - Article 32.10 of the USMCA prohibits entering into a “FREE trade agreement” which is significantly different from saying we cannot enter into trade agreements.
Details matter.
Thank you, Craig. Carney would never have made that error with China. He is a man who does his research thoroughly... 🇨🇦
Thanks. I was going to mention this. Carney would not miss something this significant.
(Found the Reacher fan, and I'm here for it ^_^)
Get your facts right…was not a trade deal, was only removal of tariffs that brought every thing back to what is was before. And Brookfield nor their subsidiaries make EV batteries except 12 volts for any car
“We are excited to grow our business with the acquisition of Power Solutions, a global market leader which generates consistent cash flows and profitability,” said Cyrus Madon, CEO, Brookfield Business Partners. “We look forward to partnering with the management team to continue growing this world-class business and build on its track record of innovation.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Brookfield, that shares our vision of value creation through long-term commitment,” commented Stéphane Etroy, Executive Vice-President and Head of Private Equity at CDPQ. “This transaction enables us to acquire not only the world leader in automotive batteries, but also a model in terms of environmental and health & safety measures, that runs one of the most efficient industrial recycling systems globally.”
Johnson Controls announces breakthrough partnership with Chinese ecommerce giant JD.com to serve high-growth automotive battery replacement market.
Brookfield is not the Canadian government so not sure I get your point besides the fact that Carney’s blind trust may still have some Brookfield shares. If you’re so convinced that Brookfield is making pile of money because Carney is now Prime Minister….buy some shares
P.s. Brookfield has interests in companies that produce and sell as we speak only 12 volts batteries for all cars. They do not produce EV batteries
Anybody who has a pension plan will likely have shares in Brookfield. Conspiracy theorists go on as if Mark Carney was running the company, while serving as PM; they continue to refute the existence or purpose of the blind trust he immediately set up when he was chosen as the Liberal leader, to meet conflict of interest rules. You can be sure if the shoe was on the Conservatives’ foot, they would be perfectly satisfied with such action. If they don’t like the rules, they can always bring forward a Bill in Parliament to tighten the rules. It’s more effective politically to keep up the noise in social media, attacking the PM’s credibility.
It's called a Conflict of Interest , of which Carney had over 100 as of 2025.
Also what is interesting in the Preliminary Agreement between the CCP and Canada is this area concerning Steel & Aluminum .....
Steel and Aluminum
Canada will extend to the end of 2026 previous remission measures for certain Chinese steel and aluminium products that are in short supply in Canada, covering 66 lines of product-specific remissions (11 full remissions and 55 partial remissions), and 49 tariff lines of company-specific remissions. Canada will also expand remissions coverage to 7 steel, 2 aluminum, and 4 steel derivative products. This expansion will enter into force by March 1, 2026, and be retroactive to January 1, 2026.
This measure covers steel, aluminum, and derivative products that are in low or have no supply in Canada, meaning they are not made by Canadian producers in sufficient volumes to serve the Canadian economy.
Remission means Remove. So according to the paras above our steel and aluminum industry will get second fiddle to the CCP. It would be interesting to hear what Rio Tinto has to say about their foundries and smelting plants business being directly affected by CCP supply.
So our steel and aluminum industry , which sorely needs new markets , will see the CCP get tariff free access to supply Canada. Doesn't look good for any much needed expansion of jobs and opportunities in our steel and aluminum industry.
you are confusing a free trade deal which we DID NOT sign with China so stop spreading BS
Very good job pointing out what a fool can come up with.
Carney and Xi both had to explain to trump it wasn't a free trade agreement at all. In fact, all he did was reset the relationship , so the trade that was happening before could restart, and that includes the EVs. But good job pointing out that you misread what was happening!
Yep, it’s all straight out of Trump’s playbook, Carney has learned well.
you overstate the China deal
Thanks for for correcting that...it's only time for CUSMA review. Yeah, 2036 is renegotiation. 🇨🇦
Wrong. Withdrawing from CUSMA takes effect six months following notification.
"A Party may withdraw from this Agreement by providing written notice of withdrawal to the other Parties. A withdrawal shall take effect six months after a Party provides written notice..."
It does probably require congressional approval, and given the disruptions it would entail, that may be difficult.
Thats what i wrote
They have to give us 6 months notice!
The right man at the right time.
That’s hilarious because carney will destroy Canada and be off to his next agenda but his brainwashed supporters just can’t seem to see the evil within
🤮🤦♂️🤮
At last I see a comment that doesn’t idolize Carney. So much superficiality
This article is hardly superficial
Thank you so much for this well reasoned piece. I am a Canadian but I live in Brasil, a country whose president has no compunction whatsoever about showing Trump the middle finger. Brasil has embraced the same strategy that Carney is expounding - develop alternate markets and relationships even if it means holding your nose on occasion while signing the agreement. Brasil’s growth has been nothing short of miraculous because, like Canada, Brasil produces what the world wants - metal and energy commodities, agricultural commodities, things that can easily shift to more willing purchasers. Inputs that the U.S. needs in order to produce it’s most exported products - financial services and inflation. Markets are indeed telling the tale. Gold, silver, copper markets - representing real world production inputs - have been soaring while more abstract markets (especially crypto) have been hammered. Carney is simply seeking leverage in negotiations and is marshalling the resources (literally).
Falou e disse, meu amigo! Canad and Brazil are both doing interesting things. Maybe we could import the electric cars you have.
Thanks for this! A very useful way to look at the contest between one of the leaders of the Free World (Carney) and the ‘Wannabe Hegemon’, who says , ‘ Canada ‘doesn’t have the cards’. We cannot help but be anxious, having to depend on market perceptions to save the Democratic world though.
That’s the stupidest thing that I’ve heard yet that Carney’s a leader of the free world
What a total crock of BS
He’s in it to enrich himself and Brookfield and doesn’t give a good god damn about anyone or anything else
🥱🥱🥱
Fuck off idiot
Get a fucking life
A truly excellent article. Mark Carney is the right man at the right time. It's amazing how that is throughout history.
What a complete crock of BS
Carney’s nothing but a me person and doesn’t give a damn about anyone anything except his wealth and Brookfield
Hey Cindy ( if that is your real name) stop projecting the Trumpian persona on to Carney. Or anyone who doesn’t play his game. Let me guess- Jerome Powell is out for personal gain too, right?
For “Cindy”: 🤮🤦♂️🥱
Brilliant and reassuring. Grateful for your arrival on the Substack scene! <3
Thank you. You’re very kind.
Yes, I’m an American, and I feel the same way.
Balanced, measured. Saved this.
Really good piece, very easy to understand how subtle market shifts and trade deals put the jack back in the box...the resistance here knows it's going to get worse before it gets better, decades of dissent ignored and no leverage against our own military and flaccid Congress unwilling to use its own powers, states that could counter the fed by taking functions back and refusing to enforce federal law but so many states captured by the same morons or thinking if they keep selling our land to foreign countries somehow they aren't going to be on the short end of the stick. I've seen foreign arbitrage and it doesn't end well for the locals. Love Carney, love the discipline he brings and hope when we can turn the page here his influence will bring peace and stability back to this continent if merely through example of leadership. Btw people in the northern states have been hoping Canada would take us if we seceeded for years. It's been a decade of existential crises and getting dragged through the mud every day, we are tired but just have to outlast these f*ckers and hope there's something left of our land for us when it's over.
I wish CBC acknowledged the genius of Mark Carney and stopped boot licking Pp. We need a rapid fire CNN Adam Mockler to blast MAGA lies, CBC gives us Rosie O’Donnell. It’s up to Substack writers to provide this content. Thank you 🫶🏼 for your’s.
You’re completely delusional if you believe that corrupt carnage is the saviour of Canada 🇨🇦
He’s he to dismantle it and then he’ll screw off like he did in the Uk
All you people backing this prick really need help
Dear “Cindy” bot — please and kindly stop your spamming or you will be reported and removed from this platform
Who are you speaking about? Pollievre is a MAGA stooge and Carney is the saviour of Canada. 🫶🏼
Pp is Pollievre - our new MAGA leader of the opposition bey yea he is also a pedo protector.
He is protecting PM Mark Carney and former PM Trudeau?
https://substack.com/@fightforcanada/note/p-186549795?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=77tujt
Pp? Pedophile protector?
Thank you for that excellent analysis. It is reassuring that Carney knows what he is doing. Your clarity will help all of us increase our understanding. It would be nice if PP understood it, and better yet if his sycophant, Danielle Smith, understood it as well.
First off, he is keeping people churned up about Trump. Are you for real? Are you so deeply brainwashed by the CULT that you don’t see what is happening down there, and to us. Are you so anesthetized that you can’t comprehend that murdering people in the streets is wrong. Are you so deluded that you believe Trump will take care of us in his malevolence?
Now, what has Carney done? He is building alliances with the world. We are part of the European defence procurement program. We have offset some Chinese tariffs. We are set to open trade relations with India. We have aligned ourselves with nations who have a way of standing up to Trump using financial assets. Our PM received a standing ovation at Davos. Another thing is to look at what he hasn’t done. He hasn’t arrested adversaries to his regime. He hasn’t arrested journalists. He hasn’t arrested children. He hasn’t allowed law enforcement to shoot a mother in the head at point blank range and he hasn’t been responsible for shooting a man in the back 10 times.
My advice to you, get psychiatric help or in true cult fashion get beamed up to the mothership - the US of A.
Please tell me what he’s doing. No productive results yet, just trying to keep people churned up about Trump so he can fool more people.
