Summary

Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.

Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.

He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.

Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.

    the NDP forced them into action

    Yes, and I’m showing that the action they were forced into was so small as to be essentially meaningless. So, that undermines their accomplishments, wouldn’t you say?

    This is like the fifth time the NDP has managed to change all our lives

    All our lives? Again, is this dental plan open to everyone?

    There’s a reason they’re not even the opposition, and that’s because they can barely even convince left-leaning Canadians to support them anymore.

      Not for the people who use it? You know, our poorest people?

      All our lives? Again, is this dental plan open to everyone?

      So just to be clear, no party has done anything ever because it didn’t impact every single citizen? What the hell is this insane criterion?

      This is the least Canadian response I’ve ever heard, where help is useless unless every person gets something. I don’t care if it ‘only’ helped poor children, it was a massive achievement and worth doing.

        Great, you’re admitting what I said. It’s not available to everyone. Thanks, we’re done here.
