The End and the Beginning: Carney Just Set Canada on a New Course This wasn’t a meeting. It was a funeral. Carney stood at the White House and, with the calm precision of a central banker and the moral clarity of a statesman, issued the eulogy for what used to be Canada-U.S. relations. Not a spat. Not a cold patch. The end. He didn’t rage. He didn’t posture. He simply told the truth: there is no relationship anymore. What exists now is an open question. One that will only be answered if the U.S. proves it’s capable of mutual respect—not intimidation. Trump, true to form, offered tax breaks in exchange for our sovereignty, as if Canada were a down-market real estate deal he could flip for profit. Carney, unfazed, replied with the line that may define this era: “Canada is not for sale.” That phrase wasn’t just a rebuttal—it was a reset. The beginning. Because here’s the truth: you don’t renegotiate a relationship that’s intact. You only start over when the old one has been burned down. And Carney made clear that Trump lit the match. Tariffs. Threats. Fantasies of annexation. These aren’t the actions of an ally. Now we’re plotting a new course. Sovereign. Strategic. Alone, but not adrift. We sail with an armada of allies—nations ready to chart new routes, forge fresh ties, and unlock shared value on our terms. Carney knows that rebuilding will take more than diplomacy—it’ll take principle. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of the day: Canada isn’t waiting for America to come to its senses. We’re moving forward, with or without them.

@sheilasmall Why spend the money? Trump has already shown his intention. He’s testing the waters to see if #PMMC was bluffing.@markjcarney has to show him that he is not.

@MEActNOW Hope all US foods will be banned here in Canada #PMMC. Our #CdnMedia which is 2/3 owned by an American hedge fund #Postmedia, founded by Anthony Melchiorre with a large foothold in newspapers and tabloids, is known for its close ties to the Republican Party. It also controls what we read. Will they be reporting the danger this entails? I highly doubt it.
@youranoncentral.bsky.social The next logical step will be extermination. Will they replicate #NaziGermany strategy and use gas? Will they shave the heads and sell the hair, stockpile the shoes and socks and underwear? The #USIsATerroristState. Avoid at all costs. Enter at your own risk #CanadiansBeware. @markjcarney #PMMC when will Canada update its travel advisory to realistically reflect what is happening in the US?

@AlisonCreekside #Cons continue to con. And how does #CdnMedia respond: “Meh, Carney accused of wanting free ride and hiding from public amid latest campaign. “
Remember, 2/3 of our Canadian media is owned by an American billionaire who is closely aligned with Republicans. And Republicans don’t want #PMMC to win. #PeePee is much more receptive to #donaldTheFuhrer and prepared, together with #ABDanielleSmith, to kiss the ring. So #CPC #Con and #MelissaLantsman hypocrisy, meh. Move along.
@brenttoderian.bsky.social #UBI has a proven track record. There is absolutely no reason why Canada should have the high level of homelessness we do. #PMMC, it’s time to end homelessness. We know #PeePee would prefer to jail these #LazyBums, as he would call these people who have fallen on hard luck times, because the #Cons don’t believe in helping society. They label the homeless as useless, addicts, criminals, etc. The only Cdns that #Conservatives care about, are themselves
