Carney also praised Trump as a great leader, did the CBC miss that part?
“Thank you for your hospitality, and above all for your leadership. You’re a transformational president focused on the economy, with a relentless focus on the American worker. Securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentinal and other opioids, and securing the world.”
I do think they know each other prior and that seems quite obvious, and that getting Carney elected was a part of a larger plan to get a pipeline to the east coast to defund Russia; using the Alberta separatism crisis to do so. Trump plays an idiot, but even the level of the tariffs were concocted to push this crisis, which was the true reason for Daniel Smith to go to Maralago.
Ehh… It seems like Carney’s comment is just lip service, and imo it just skirts around things that you just can’t say anything good about. “Transformational” isn’t necessarily a praise, and a “relentless focus on the American worker” doesn’t focus on the policies (which we know have been really bad for American workers) and basically just reiterates Trump’s claimed motivation in some way, so a nothing burger. “Securing your borders” is also a nothing burger cause while it’s what they’re trying to do, is hasn’t necessarily been done successfully or in a good way. “Ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids” is just another self-proclaimed point, and in the case of fentanyl, 21g in a whole year from Canada, and of unknown effectiveness from Mexico. And “securing the world” is also a nothing burger cause he hasn’t, but he’s doing things that he thinks is securing the world.
I don’t think it shows what Carney’s true plans and motivations are going into the meeting, so I’d recommend not reading too much into it at the moment. We’ll see what comes out of this whole discussion, and we’ll find out what have Canadians voted into.
Looking at the mention of “leader” from Carney to Trump in transcripts, Carney’s never actually said anything to the effect of “you’re a great leader”. He only said “thank you for your hospitality and above all for your leadership”. That isn’t a praise at all, it’s just a cordial thank you.
So how did you get the impression that Carney was praising Trump as a “great leader”?
“Thanks for your ‘leadership’.” The subtext is “your absolute jackassery united enough Canadians to stand against your Conservative supporters.”
I think Trudeau stepping down was a prerequisite, but the unprovoked trade war and threatening Canadian sovereignty really turned the tide (or rather, to be more supportive of the active role Carney is playing, allowed the tide to be turned).

It’s no secret that Carney was elected in response to Trump
Sorry, I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at

That’s some 3d chess
America wants it, and provincial powers override federal, so there’s no real alternative than a crisis unfortunately.
Europe is actually building their military as well. Which their progressive voters needed a crisis to do so.
