I am CONVINCED CARNEY has been humouring Trump for many months to keep him distracted, and toyed with him, tricked him while he worked for Canada to become independent and strong, he knew Canada was ready, and two hours before midnight August 21st he simply WALKED away from America. BOOM Precise timing. Check mate. Bye bye. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Outwitted, outplayed, outlasted.

Joanne, I agree with you. Carney is a strategist who keeps his intentions well concealed. But he's also honest; he wants what's best for everyone involved, and he provided Trump with opportunities to negotiate fairly. When Trump failed to see the obvious best route forward, Carney was ready with plans in place and the relationships and apparatus set for Canada to move forward without the U.S.

With respect: How so, the China bit? You realize they to tried to make us a vassal so I’d say it’s definitely about us more than it is any other country.

Michael, the China debt trap, which is what I assume you are referring to in the 'vassa' comment, is a myth. It did not happen in Sri Lanka, the only example given of China's debt trap. Sri Lanka owns 70% of the port and leased the 30% stake to China as collateral for a loan. If you mean something different, please let me know. Way

Hi Way, actually I was responding to John, not to you. I linked it incorrectly.

No worries. I was having a difficult time following the comment. Thanks for clarifying.

As smart as you project yourself to be you obviously must know the “Trade War with Canada” has little to do with Canada and a lot to do with China! Using terms like “Bully” only projects political bias.

I produce & create music, some famous artists. I practice Buddhism but rarely offer opinions. I don’t PRETEND to be a Self Help expert, Guru, or authority as many do on substack. I write fun romantic/crime/drama novels.

I’m compassionate & a bit satirical

John,

Two items:"'Trade War with Canada' has little to do with Canada and a lot to do with China." Do you mean Trump covert support of China by steering Canadian trade to China, which is happening, or something else? And "smart as you project yourself to be " I find is interesting phrasing; I write what interests me and where my knowledge base lies. Let me know about China.
