The frontrunner to take over the reins from Justin Trudeau on Sunday when Canada’s Liberal Party chooses its new leader is a tough-talking former Goldman Sachs executive who has compared President Trump to the Harry Potter villain Voldemort. Mark Carney, credited with helping Canada dodge the worst of the 2008 financial crisis when he was governor of the Bank of Canada, is viewed by his countryman as the politician most trusted to handle Trump, polls show. “When you think about what’s at stake in these ridiculous, insulting comments of the president, of what we could be, I view this as the sort of Voldemort of comments

Mr. Carney should be aware that many times it doesn't go well for those who try to "handle" our President. Perhaps he should have a conversation with zBoy. Otherwise he may have first hand knowledge of what FAFO is all about.

Canada dodged the 2008 crisis because it doesn't force it's banks to engage in sub-prime lending in order to pursue "social justice". If you can't afford the loan, you don't get the loan.

The nice thing about Justin Trudeau was he was unre-electable (sic). Forcing him out has restored the Canadian Liberal Party"s chances of forming the next government after the general election. Recent events have also hurt the electoral chances of the somewhat more sensible Conservative Party. So, instead of a somewhat conservative Prime Minister interested in resolving U.S.-Canadian issues as an ally and trade partner, and possibly pursuing closer cooperation on a wide range of other issues, we could end up with this new guy. The second best thing about Justin Trudeau was he's not very bright. (Canadians say he got his mother's looks and none of his father's brains.) He would have been easier for President Trump to handle. This new guy does not look stupid to me. My long standing policy has been to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. After 2016, and several attempts to second guess him, I realized he was right more often than I was. However, I also said that there are times when President Trump would be his own worst enemy if he wasn't so good at creating new enemies to no purpose. This may be one of those times.

Canada has been abusing the United States for years by failing to crack down on fentanyl production and cross-border drug and human trafficking and by imposing exorbitant tariffs on our exports. President Trump's demand for a course correction is overdue.

One doesn't need to rub many brain neurons together to figure out how PDJT will handle a guy who's opening gambit in negotiations is to call his counterparty "Voldemort".... Said it before, but I'll say it again: If Carney visits DC and attempts to negotiate after being installed in the PM slot with nothing more than a vote of 1/4 million Liberal Party members (i.e. *not* a mandate of Canadian voters via a parliamentary election where he also runs for and wins a district seat), PDJT will hand him his head and tell him to come back to DC only after such an election gives him a mandate to negotiate. Even then, PDJT will be well aware that Carney is serving the WEF first and Canada second. If Canada doesn't vote in the CPC and Poilievre, then in any negotiation between Carney and Trump, Trump will actually be guy looking out for Canadian interests. Carney will look out for the WEF and his own interests in Brookfield Energy, with Canadian interests way down the list. I sincerely hope a voting majority of Canadians aren't dumb enough to fall for the TDS-laced jingoist bill of goods that the LPC is selling to them. There are lots of smart and savvy Canadians; question is whether there are enough of them to send Carney into the political wilderness where he belongs.

It will be interesting to see what really happens!

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency continues to rip through the federal bureaucracy. Certainly, the backlash is growing, but given the size of the U.S. debt, it is either austerity now on our terms or a far more chaotic accounting later. There will be pain. When Greece faced austerity in 2010, its economy shrank by a quarter, and unemployment exceeded 30%. Within a few years, its economy was growing, as was per capita income. The same crowds who protested the center-right for cuts now reward it for restarting Greece’s economic engine.
