David Moscrop is absolutely right. Canada must insist that we have an independent foreign policy and will not have our foreign relations dictated by the United States. See his "Is Canada A Country, Or The 51st State?" open.substack.com/pub/davidmos...
No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment.
Poilievre brought the donuts.
Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.
Caving to Trump does not pay. Canada should retaliate proportionately.

"The petition...supposes that being on unceded [Musqueam] territory and not saying anything about it is not political, and that acknowledging it is political...of course, it’s no more political to acknowledge it than to be there without acknowledging it."

This is a very sweet conversation, one Carney alluded to in his victory speech.
www.cpac.ca/leaders-tour...
We have Whigs and Tories, republicans and monarchists, settlers and Indigenous people, French and English and many other tongues. Trump understands none of this. All he sees is oil, water, and minerals.
Canada is an Atlantic nation, founded by French and English settlers, who occupied the territory of First Nations. Not easy to assimilate into a US melting pot. Why isn't a French monarch invited to also contribute to the throne speech? The last one was quite rightly beheaded.
I'm a republican (small "r"!) but I'm happy to see King Charles deliver the throne speech. The event will underscore that the only source of imperialist danger right now, Trump's US, is entangling itself in a conflict that has implications both within and beyond our borders.
I think Carney could have been better prepared for these questions: how will a throne speech by King Charles play in Quebec? And how does inviting the sovereign from another country to open our parliament protect our sovereignty? To be clear: there are good answers. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Carney also writes that "Civic virtue and public spirit atrophy with disuse and grow like muscles with regular exercise." We all need to exercise the muscles of civic virtue and public spiritedness so that we can turn the corner on toxic polarization and divisiveness.
I'm not surprised. On p. 145 of Carney's book Values, he writes: “According to Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics, virtue is something we cultivate with practice: ‘We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.’”
In his election night speech, Mark Carney channelled Aristotle. He said: "We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows." globalnews.ca/news/1115459...
