Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday he told U.S. President Donald Trump that he meant what he said in his speech at Davos, and told him Canada plans to diversify away from the United States with a dozen new trade deals.
Carney rolled his eyes and rejected U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s contention to Fox News that he aggressively walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum during a phone call with Trump on Monday.
“To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos,” Carney said to reporters as he arrived for a Cabinet meeting in the capital, Ottawa.
“Canada was the first country to understand the change in U.S. trade policy that he initiated, and we’re responding to that. ”
In Davos at the World Economic Forum last week, Carney condemned economic coercion by great powers on smaller countries without mentioning Trump’s name. The prime minister received widespread praise and attention for his remarks, upstaging Trump at the gathering.
Trump threatened this past weekend to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America’s northern neighbor went ahead with a trade deal with Beijing, though Carney has said Canada has no interest in negotiating a comprehensive trade deal with Beijing.
Carney said Trump called him.
“I explained to him our arrangement with China. I explained to him what we’re doing — 12 new deals, four continents, in six months,” Carney said. “He was impressed.”

These are destructive leftists and they are deriving some of their support by appearing to fight Trump.
Trump ought to send Carney a recording of “Faust”.
Congress needs to set the trade rules for the USA.
Countries could agree to them.
Either partner should be able to pull out of any deal with six months-notice.
And President Trump just continued to laugh at Xi’s butt boy, Carney. Carney needs to go back to the carnival.
🎼We Have The Power!
It’s time they learned none of them have a choice but to bend.
Let’s just invade Canada. It should take a Girl Scout troop about a day, with cookie breaks.

(Canada’s) Mark Carney Is Incredibly Dangerous
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4316207/posts
The 60-year-old (Mark Carney) didn’t rise through politics. HE WAS NOT ELECTED. HE WAS INSTALLED — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience.
Goldman Sachs.
The Bank of Canada.
The Bank of England.
The Financial Stability Board.
The World Economic Forum.
Bilderberg.
The Trilateral Commission.
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism.
This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of Global Finance and Elite Governance. Now, he’s running a country.
Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of central bankers. He uses the sterile vocabulary of “sustainability,” “transition,” and “inclusive growth.”
But behind the euphemisms is a Blueprint for Absolute Control.
At the center of that Blueprint is the
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Carney has long supported the deployment of CBDCs, programmable money Issued and Controlled by the State.
This is infrastructure for OBEDIENCE
sold as INNOVATION. Unlike physical cash,
a CBDC can be TRACKED, RESTRICTED,
AND DEACTIVATED IN REAL-TIME.
It allows the government — or its banking partners —
to Control not just HOW MUCH you spend,
BUT WHERE,
ON WHAT, and
WHETHER YOU’RE ALLOWED TO SPEND AT ALL.
The potential for abuse is staggering.
This is not paranoia.
It is already
the REALITY in China.
There, the CCP links Digital Currency to a Nationwide Social Credit System....

Yea, elbows up. How Canadian.
It’s almost cute, Carney going all stompy foot and pretending that Canada is a real country.

Time for Trump to welcome Alberta’s secession vote from Canada and issue an invitation to join the US.
Crush them Mr. President.
That’s comical. Congress can’t even pass a budget, a Save act, etc. Congress critters are bought, blackmailed and corrupt (many are of subnormal intelligence and don’t have a basic understanding of economics or finance, and you think Congress should handle America’s trade deals????\\
How much do you hate America and your fellow Americans?
Canada is doomed with Carney.
Wrong man, wrong time.
Absolutely.
Do I need to play hokey in order to get it?
I had resisted looking it up until now because it sounded like it would be lame. It was:
“Elbows up” is a Canadian idiom and rallying cry symbolizing strength, resilience, and a readiness to fight back or stand firm against adversity. Originating from hockey—specifically the physical, defensive style of legend Gordie Howe (”Mr. Elbows”)—it means protecting oneself or asserting dominance when facing challenges.
