I have often said that I feel smarter every time I listen to Carney explain something important. I don't agree with every position he takes, but its clear that he is thoughtful and purposeful, not knee-jerk and emotional.
Some examples from his Saudi Arabia trip:
"Lecturing countries from afar is satisfying but ineffective."
"This isn't just Flavour of the Month"
"We are calibrating engagement"
I'm reading some pointless carping about
Carney visiting "Prince Bonesaw" in Saudi Arabia because I guess this is still a thing.
Paul Wells has a more useful comment about the Saudi Arabia trip. He concludes:
...What’s bracing, if not unnerving, about asking the world to take a bet on Canada is that ultimately it will be the world’s decision. Sooner or later everyone visits Jeddah, even a Canadian prime minister. They all make a pitch. Carney’s visit generated a lot of interest this week in Jeddah. Soon we will see how many zeros come at the end of that.
Also, I enjoy Carney's sense of humour:
On a side note, can you imagine how weak and divided Canada would be now if Poilievre had won in 2025?
This is the kind of poor judgement he shows when he has a national stage:
I know there are progressives across Canada who don't like Carney anymore, and don't support his Liberal government. I see more press sniping about him too.
But the choice we had in 2025 was between Carney and Poilievre. Period. There was no other choice. And Carney was clearly the outstanding choice anyway. I think he still is.
He is leading the world in dealing against Trump, too.
Trudeau gets it "Yeah, this is what we've been telling you"
The only successful thing this second Trump term has accomplished is bringing Canadians together in a way I have not seen in my 63 years. Our identity belongs to Canada, and no one will ever think we are the same as Americans ever again. We are resilient, intelligent, and patriotic. We are tough as nails and we never back down when someone starts a fight with us, a lesson the corrupt American administration has become very familiar with! Every time I hear Pete Hoekstra whine about us retaliating with China while the rest of the world bent and took it up the ass speaks volumes about our character, and is a clear demonstration of that Juno Beach gene that lives in all of us! I couldn’t be more proud to be Canadian. ❤️🇨🇦

On another side note, here's a new Trudeau cameo!
🔴 When they noticed Justin Trudeau's dancing cameo in Katy Perry's video, Maple-MAGA heads predictably exploded! 🤯😄
They can't let him go - he owns prime real estate in their heads.
Justin Trudeau has served his country at the highest level, through some tough times.
He brought the Liberal Party of Canada back from the dead, got a lot of good things done, and when it was time, he moved on.
He's now enjoying an epic and adventurous life with his beautiful, megastar girlfriend who matches his vibe. 👌🏼
He's having fun, looks much younger, and stress free.
Good on ya, Justin!
You look great, riding into that well-earned sunset. 🫡 👍🏼
Now ... Somebody please tell Poilievre that there is life after politics...

Next, a little collection of funny posts about Trump:
He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland.
He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

So we're bombing the f out of Iran again, and people are wondering if it's to distract from a missed Epstein file release deadline or distract from Belgium humiliating USA at sportsball.
HELL REALITY.

Even Fox News is getting just a teensy impatient with Trump's incompetence.
Yeah, we know. We’ve been saying that for 18 months.

So Trump was terrified that Iran would shoot down his new plane when it took off from Türkiye after the NATO summit. So they switched in the older fortified Air Force One to transport him instead. But Trump was embarrassed about being afraid of Iran. So he had to pretend he had actually wanted his plane to fly empty to England, so troops there could tour it. Yeah, sure.
Speaking of England, I too would love to see Britain vote again for
Boaty McBoatface
There is something both dystopian and quintessentially British about UK politics today.
Farage quits his job and announces he is re-running in the by-election he has engineered, presumably to distract from the scandal around his finances. It will cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands to complete.
Reform offer to pay that bill despite it being against the rules to do so, so either they don’t understand the rules of the system they operate in or it was always an empty gesture - neither is a good look.
All the other political parties say in unison “no thanks, Nige” and refuse to participate, denying him his ‘me against the establishment’ narrative.
His only rival will be Count Binface. A figure who could only appear in British Politics, and one that if there is any justice left in the world, will cruise to victory, relegating Farage to the most humiliating political defeat in history.
I really hope all those voters who might normally abstain, and the left wing minority in Clacton, unify on this.
Like the Boaty McBoatface vote, this would be peak Britain. It’s the kind of cultural moment we all need right now.

I don't know who started the "national sheep density index" but our CANMNT Canadian men's soccer team is ON IT!
FIFA has banned England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches over his red card against Mexico.
I guess we get the Prime Minister, the King, the Lord Mayor of London and Liz Truss to call them up to overturn it.
That’s how it works now, right?
