Carney could have said nothing at all. He chose to explicitly support Trump's attacks on Iran. And btw, if we're too scared of tariffs to do the obviously right thing, guess what that says about the state of our sovereignty already.

Holy crap. People really are rationalizing Carney giving explicit support for Trump's illegal attack on Iran. There truly is no line.

If Carney doesn’t act quickly to reinforce & isolate Canada’s regulatory regime (starting by reversing his Canada-harming job cuts), Canadians will lose faith in our regulatory agencies. Decisions like this, made under duress with little explanation, are how Trump’s corruption will spread to Canada.

liberals with 0 understanding of the world they live in are flooding my comments. β€œTrump is destroying our country” presumes the US was once a functioning republic, as if this betrayal is recent, a country founded on slave labor, genocide and an elite-controlled constitutional framework.

Another *tap sign* post: The rise of far right extremism is predicated by an acceptance of eugenics. Quiz: When might we have accepted even a bit of eugenics in recent years?
