The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Carney & Trump

Did anyone watch the Mark Carney and Donald Trump interview?

They seemed to genuinely like each other.

Mark Carney is a leftist Globalist, which Donald Trump stands completely against him.

The only way I can make any sense of it, is President Trump believes he can manipulate him.
President Trump did not like Conservative leader Pierre Poillevier at all.

Some might be aware that if Carney keeps treating Alberta the way he has. Alberta may vote to leave Canada.
However, Carney responded by saying he will stop that by using the Emergencies Act.
He has been mocking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Who I consider the best Premier in Canada.

The formula that Trump, the Art of the Deal (maker), is using and which is consistent with all other nations, is... Canada/they need the US far more than the US needs them. Thus, either Carney will play fair, according to Trump's rules which honestly are quite fair indeed; equity in trade, or Canada will suffer greatly financially. Trump did make clear that the US would NOT abandon its current protection of Canada from hostile nations. Thus, this is just 'business' and nothing 'personal'. Hopefully, for your sake, Carney will realize that working with fairness and equity in trade practices with the US will profit both parties. But hard-nose Socialistic tactics will result in much trouble and pain in Canada since your country is so dependent upon trade with the US. Of course, being a Socialist/Communist, Carney could choose to do trade with Communist China, Russia, North Korea or some other communist regime which will doubtless result in the end of your current freedoms such as they are. What God has in store for the future of Canada is known only to Him and be sure, that whatever it is, it shall be done and for good reason. We here, of course, hope and pray that things will improve in the very near future for you and your country no less than we do also for our undeserving country which has forsaken nearly any recognition of the one true God.

PS. As I mentioned before elsewhere, we Conservatives here in the US do NOT want any influx of typical Canadians to this country. They will bring nothing but their Socialism to the voting booth and thus bring leftist tragedy which is diametrically opposed to Constitutional freedom and liberty for all. We have enough of Leftist politics here already, thank you.

It might be “just business”, but I found it odd that Trump said he does not like Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and much preferred Carney.

Then there is the Alberta factor I mentioned.
Canada is very rich in resources, but because they have basically handicapped themselves. They are not using them effectively; that is the main reason they are so dependant on the USA.

Poilievre, recognizes this and wants to make Canada more self sufficient.

I did watch the meeting with interest and I have my opinion of what actually happened there. Whether I am right or not remains to be seen. What I saw happen between the lines was perhaps of greater importance. Trump did not merely call attention to the beautiful room, the "24 caret gold", the "beautiful pictures" now hanging in the room, as a boastful or proud display. Trump is a very careful man, exacting in his speech to produce an effect on his hearers if they are listening. He wanted Carney along with all, everyone listening and watching this exchange throughout the world, to understand that this was indeed a special place—Holy ground, so to speak — and was to be respected. It was not a place for everybody. Only those who would respect it. Note his allusion to Zalinski, although he did not mention him by name. Trump wanted Carney to understand that he was in a special place and he was being warned to respect that. It could go well if he did and if not, well, it might not go so well. I watched Carney's expression the whole time to see if he "got it" or not. I saw Trump not acknowledge his wanting to interject his comments. Perhaps to let what Trump was telling him between the lines to have time to sink in. In the end, Carney could not hold it back and revealed his game. He wanted to be seen by the world and especially his constituents, to be in control, which he clearly was not. I did not see the exchange as necessarily friendly. It was a warning to Carney. Play well and all will end well. My opinion? Trump would prefer to see the tariffs Canada has been imposing on the US, lifted completely. Just like many other nations are now trying to do. Zero tariffs across the board.

Trump's 'dislike' of Pierre Poilievre is something that perhaps you and others are not privy to, eh? But, we can surmise from Trump's dealing with individuals on an international level, dealing with Poilievre perhaps would not be beneficial to the US. Others have not spoken positive of Poilievre to which I have already provided to you before. "Conservative" is a relative term which was greatly impressed upon me when I lived for 15 years in B.C., Canada. It became obvious to me that the "Conservatives" in Canada are somewhat equivalent to the moderate Democrat Party here in the US. Their policies are undeniably Socialist and not representative of a democratic Republic, i.e., a free society. So, maybe doing an online search for "Why does Trump not support Poilievre?" might result in some answers, albeit one must take into consideration the source of any answer(s).

Again, let me stress that the true conservatives here in the US do NOT want a merger with Canada. We are fighting to keep our Constitutional Republic alive against the inroads of the socialist/communist Left faction that is growing in numbers. Yes, Trump won a landslide election in regard to the Electoral vote, but only by 1-1 1/2 percent in regard to the popular vote. Whether that will change for the better in the future only God knows. But it is ever present threat which must be opposed without reserve. The US is unique among all the nations of the world. Merging with Canada in an official capacity, e.g, 51st state would immediately destroy what we presently enjoy now. IF you want more freedom and liberty, come here and support and fight for it. Otherwise, stay in the great white North and fight for whatever battles you can.
