Pete Hegseth Trolls Canada Again Despite Mark Carney Warning
Newsweek ^ | Sep 05, 2026 | Sam Stevenson

Posted on 09/07/2026 3:56:52 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth has returned to posting about Canada, sharing a Canadian Coast Guard Pride message with only a flag emoji days after Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized American officials for using memes and mockery during a serious dispute between the neighboring countries.

•Hegseth quoted a Canadian Coast Guard post about its participation in Ottawa’s Pride celebration and added a Canadian flag emoji.

•The post came after Carney said U.S. officials should “stop doing memes,” “stop throwing shade” and become serious about renewed trade discussions.

•Unlike Hegseth’s earlier message about Canadian cadets, the latest post contained no written criticism, leaving its intended meaning unstated.

Perhaps because it was intended to be friendly with a neighbor just to our North who we should be naturally aligned and friendly with.

Is this what our Secretary of War should be doing? Imitating a senile old 80 year old man throwing lame insults at Canada?

Just because that old man is his boss?

Pete, you don’t have to imitate Trump. He’s hard to imitate successfully. You can try to complement him and add something that he hasn’t already brought to the table.

I guess this must be Canada not the United States, because how dare we ignore that idiot’s “warning”.

Read my tagline Trump hater.

Maybe you’re senile because the president certainly is not.

I don’t know how making things more expensive for Canadian subjects helps Carney or his serfs but, whatever.

Imitating a senile old 80 year old man throwing lame insults at Canada?

Amen, bro! We would've been much better served with that oratorical genius Kamala Harris as President. I can't wait to vote for the modern day Emily Dickinson, Alexandra Ocasio Cortez for President.

The memes will continue until you get your head out of your ass Mr. Carney.

Wow.

You really hate Trump.

You describe him as a “senile old 80 year old man throwing lame insults”.

I’d like to see younger Presidents myself. And NO dynasties.

Would you prefer:
AOC - 36 years old
JD Vance - 42 years old
Gavin Newsom - 58 years old
Joe Biden - 83 years old
Hillary Rodham - 78 years old
Chelsea Hubbel-Clinton - 46 years old
Robert Hunter Biden - 56 years old
Skamala Harris - 61 years old

Personally, I sleep well at night knowing that President Trump is probably awake and keeping our country safe.

The Republican party, for what it’s worth, is bringing up a younger generation of leadership like Vance, Reynolds, Hegseth, Rubio, Cruz. The Demoncrats are bringing up their new generation with Omar, Cortez, Mamdahmi, Tlaib, Pressley, Jeffries, etc.

Maybe Hegseth should focus on his job, fighting a war with Iran.
