Weak Carney betrays Canadian electorate on only thing that put him into office
The Telegraph ^ | 30 June 2025 | Rob Crilly

Posted on 06/30/2025 3:02:01 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Mark Carney leaned into his past as an ice hockey player during his successful campaign to become Canadian prime minister.

“Elbows up,” became his battle cry and his promise to the electorate that he was ready to defend the country against Donald Trump and the American president’s aggressive moves on their country.

It was one of the issues that turned around the election, propelling the Liberal candidate (and former ice hockey goal tender) to a come-from-behind victory. Voters decided that Mr Carney would do more to stand up to Washington than a conservative candidate, Pierre Poilievre, who leaned into comparisons with the America First president south of the border.

But it takes a tough stomach.

Mr Trump’s playbook is obvious by now. Double down, double down, double down and simply keep going until the other guy folds.

He doubled down with Canada on Friday. After agreeing a 30-day deadline for trade talks between the two countries during cordial meetings at the G7 summit two weeks ago, Mr Trump made his move.

Uh-Oh, it looks like Carney is being checked by Dave Schultz and Terry O’Reilly. Gloves and sticks drop. Carney’s jersey is pulled over his head and he cannot see! The refs are gonna let this play out.

I would have enjoyed seeing the US tariffs against Canada go off the charts.

Canada simply repackages Chinese goods to sell them to us.

That must stop.

Castrate the Canadian political class!

Total BS article. He was selected by the NWO technocrats and sold with the same Orwellian talking point that are the bane of every gullible electorate.

Reporter Rob Crilly is wrong about that.

Trump is far more sophisticated than portrayed by this juiced up liberal reporter from Canada.

Ten years of the CBC rebroadcasting CNN network propaganda about Trump allows this reporter and others like him to get way with keeping Canadians ignorant .

The fact is that Trump wants Canada to be Great Again...right now Canada is held in the vice like grip of a draconian socialist government that has been holding Canada
back, using environmental law and 1st Nations treaty rights to keep resource rich provinces from development, Carney insists on “carbon neutral oil” production (BUahahahahahaha!) .Albertans detest the federal government for keeping them poor.They want to join the USA.

Canada is now becoming a third world country thanks to Carney and others like him. The Canadian dollar is only worth about 60 US cents, and it is declining. All Carney can do is print more money rather than open up Canada to US goods in a free market, just as the US has done for Canada for over 50 years. Not much for Trump to ask.Carney is actually the one who is doubling down. Carney is an idiot.

Beware the smoke and mirrors of the Canadian Press. Their job is to keep Canadians ignorant and placid.

The only thing that put him into was office was the Deep State.

Well that shouldn’t be too difficult. They have easy material to work with.

Looks like his “elbows up” campaign braggadocio has morphed into “bend over” when his rubber met the Trump road.

Hahahahahaha...the big losers are the dumbass Canadians who thought this turd was going to stand up to the Big Bad Trump.

Problem is, Carney had no cards to play. None. It was all electioneering and bluster, and those Lefty Canadians who voted for him took it all in, hook, line, and sinker.

Hahaha! What a great underrated movie. I think I have it burned on a recordable DVD disk from my red box days. I need to dig it out.
