I think Mark Carney's most recent speech captured this sentiment perfectly.
I'd love it if my country's leader was brave enough to call out America for what it is, and speak plainly about appeasement. I have heard from some Canadian friends that Carney's domestic policies leave a lot to be desired, but having a leader with so much gravitas on the world stage is a huge asset.
Especially given your southern neighbor has started smoking meth and breaking in to other countries violently.
To be honest, Carney's economic policies and approach to governing up here is a breath of fresh air. He's making pragmatic decisions on trade, giving and taking on national projects to bolster...

Dude is the bomb.com -- the dad figure with steady hand that we, and the world needs right now. To me, naysayers are either caught up in partisan politics or still living in the Canada of last year (wait, the last 20 years) where posturing and communications plans were more important than action.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm he kinda came out guns blazing indigenous rights and the environment be damned. I'm one of those hippie voters who would rather see us become destitute rather than risk another oil...
Hmmmmmmmmmmm he kinda came out guns blazing indigenous rights and the environment be damned. I'm one of those hippie voters who would rather see us become destitute rather than risk another oil spill, and I definitely don't want home prices to be stable where they are now nor want foreign investments, so he's definitely not my favourite on those two issues.
Yeah, I'm not enthused about the non-stance on the pipeline stuff either. To me, this means that he's trying to curb the Alberta sovereignty movement by buying time as there's presently no...
Yeah, I'm not enthused about the non-stance on the pipeline stuff either. To me, this means that he's trying to curb the Alberta sovereignty movement by buying time as there's presently no proponent for this pipeline.
The concerned coastal born hippie in me sees tanker traffic through the fjords up north and in Vancouver and has a similar level of concern. That said, the Albertan realist (not the other kind of Albertan :| ) also sees the economic opportunity that bitumen sales create for this country, and it's not at all insignificant.
I'll also point out that a number of First Nations have signed on to the development of a pipeline through equity shares in its ownership, something that might bring others on side. I think that we're most likely to see the TMX pipeline twinned, LNG to travel to the northern coast and an additional pipeline sent to Churchill to take advantage of the north passage.
I'm not happy that everybody seems to have forgotten about the climate change threat looming over us, but with the Chinese EV deal and recent announcements about that being a priority, I see it as a government trying to walk and chew gum at the same time. They're dealing with the world as it is, rather than how we wish it to be.
These are all rock vs hard place decisions that he'll have to make at some point, and frankly, I'm glad that we have Trump to galvanize all sides into making decisions fast.
Yeah, for the most part even if Carney isn't my ideal leader, he's very very far from the worst choice for sure. With the kind of international maneuvers we have to pull these days, he's honestly...
Yeah, for the most part even if Carney isn't my ideal leader, he's very very far from the worst choice for sure. With the kind of international maneuvers we have to pull these days, he's honestly most qualified of all the party leaders we've had. That he isn't progressive enough for me is balanced by the fact that he's not conservative enough for them either.

Edit: Sorry, here's the full speech in text and in video form, I forgot to link it which was rude

Happy to elaborate.

Some productive chats though, at least. We will see if he deploys force to hurt protesters. We all have the Nations to thank for standing firm.

In the days to come, let's remember that Mark Carney coined the term "boots on the ice".
Yeah, that was awkward. Coats in the boats, bro :) unless they're sonic hydrofoil rocket boots or something.
