The world wants reliable, trustworthy trade partners. Canada provides that in spades. Hanwha lost the submarine competition, but the South Korean defence company is still pursuing its proposed partnership with Canadian auto-parts companies to manufacture military vehicles here. #BuildCanadaStrong

The lesson we Canadians are also learning, as well as the Europeans and all western countries is that even when the orange 💩 is dead and buried, we will never be able to trust America ever again -as an ally/trading partner. America is always just one election away from voting in another MAGA fascist

Carney's approval rating is 70+%. He's become so popular by treating people like intelligent adults. No populism, no appealing to base instincs, no talking to us as if we're children. He doesn't make stupid people his core audience. He understands there's a supermajority beyond the knuckle-draggers.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
