"Cave to Trump" on what? The U.S. annexing Canaduh?It was funny to see 2 different perspectives: one from the CBC & others from the Canadian Independent & U.S. Media. The video I watched showed a VERY uncomfortable Carney so he's already shown he's not what he says he is & he'll likely "cave" to Trump anyway because he doesn't have an ounce of integrity!
Never say never ."Cave to Trump" on what? The U.S. annexing Canaduh?

Mark Carney is doing a pretty good job so far. Sorry, folks, but he is. Three reasons.

KINSELLA: Three reasons why Mark Carney is doing a good job so far as prime minister — Toronto Sun

(c) if anything is driving down the price per barrel of oil it’s the rantings of the maniac in the Oval Office. Making common cause with him would have an unhappy ending.
This is exactly what the US bought. Total compliance from a guy that doesn't know what country he belongs to. Or if he even believes in countries as a political structure.Mere weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that bilateral relations with the U.S. were “over,” he’s leaned into a pro-American stance that is almost entirely at odds with the position he took during the federal election campaign.

“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 the borders. Ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids. And securing the world,” Carney said.
And the paean was one of the few things that Carney said throughout the entire appearance. A video analysis of the half-hour press conference by the X account Vesper confirmed that Carney only spoke for three minutes as compared to 30 minutes for Trump.
This included Carney sitting silently as Trump went on multiple extended rants about the need for the U.S. annexation of Canada, and the abolition of the “artificially drawn line” between the two countries.![]()

Trump also claimed to have won Carney the election. “I was probably the greatest thing that happened to him, but I can’t take full credit. His party was losing by a lot and he ended up winning,” said Trump, to laughter from the Canadian leader.
In the first week of the election campaign, Carney declared “the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over. It’s clear the U.S. is no longer a reliable partner.”
Just last week, Carney’s election night victory speech framed Trump as an existential threat to Canada…but the election is over now.
(Polls repeatedly showed that Carney’s meteoric rise in public support was due largely to voter perceptions that he was the best equipped to take on the United States)
For all Carney has done to try to chart a new path forward, two things will continue to haunt him and could lead Canadians to conclude that the Trudeau era is not, in fact, over.![]()

It didn't have to be. Apparently are these ships that break ice in winter. It'll be a money maker for Canada but it'll need to be patrolled and equipped with SAR and spill response stations which currently makes it a no go.Its 2013 already? Man how time flies.
The Prime Minister is sticking with the targets set out late last year by then-immigration minister Marc Miller when he set out a plan for future levels of permanent and non-permanent residents.Carney promised a temporary cap immigration until numbers return to pre-pandemic levels. The only problem with that is there was already a housing crisis at that time.
President Trump’s administration is in talks with the Qatari government about accepting a luxury Qatari plane for his use as president and potentially beyond, according to people familiar with the matter.Well, it’s not like they haven’t had business dealings (though cut outs) in the past.

So maybe the government will have to grow a spine and evict everyone that is here illegally.The Prime Minister is sticking with the targets set out late last year by then-immigration minister Marc Miller when he set out a plan for future levels of permanent and non-permanent residents.
But economists who have analyzed immigration statistics say that any reductions would not reflect the true number of temporary residents living here and may mean that pressure on housing and services will not be eased to the extent expected.
Official population figures also fail to capture undocumented migrants who last year Mr. Miller estimated could number about 600,000.
The economists warn that Ottawa is overestimating the number of temporary migrants who leave the country once their visas expire. This could have a serious impact on planning, including for housing demand, they say.
