Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the world can make progress on a range of issues without the US, and that consensus reached at a Group of 20 (G-20) leaders’ meeting in Johannesburg

At the press conference, he detailed his attempts to strengthen ties with nations ranging from South Africa to India and China.

    Carney is an Obama-esque a-hole who says really nice things but, in fact, is going to drive many more Canadians into poverty.

    But he’s not wrong, and what sucks is Americans really don’t know how trade deals work, so in a year-ish when all the post-tariff trade deals go in, and the supply chain has rerouted itself around the US, we’re all going to be poorer for it except for the handful of billionaires who profited handsomely off the economic chaos.

    Finally! Yes!

    Now get everyone else on board please! The sooner the US gets decoupled the sooner the rest of us can get back some kind of quality of life.

      That’s the most important one. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to compel compliance from major economies.

      Our best chance is what Carney is doing, move on without them in as many domains as possible and wait for the US to collapse or reform, then invite them to the big kids table again.

      I note the large investiment from Saudi Arabia going towards Canada mentioned in the article; I’m not sure stopping fossil fuels is quite what he has in mind ='(

        Remember, the United States is the largest oil producer in the world. Canada is number 4 right behind Russia.

        We are not quite a Petro state but we are pretty close.

    Do it. There is nothing particularly special about the voices here. They could do well with getting taken down a few pegs.

    Yes, and I can move on without my legs. Would be a shame to cut them off because of an infected toe though.

    Mr Carney emphasised that he won’t have his agenda dictated by US President Donald Trump.

    well that’s a new welcomed developement because since winning the election, Carney has done nothing but grovel for the idiot king

    let’s hope it’s not just more politician lies like during the campaign

    Why do he still support Israel, the US proxy who destabilized the whole middle east?

          I’m saying the people who complain about anyone supporting Israel don’t actually care about Israel or the Palestinians, they care about having ammunition to be used on the west.

          You never hear them complaining about any of the other global atrocities when the west isn’t involved. Uyghurs?

            I complain about China, Russia, Israel , the UAE , the RSF and anybody who is committing atrocities directly or indirectly while you use other genocides to deflect from the one in Gaza .

            Russia and China abstaining from voting the surrender plan in Gaza shows that they do not care about Palestinians like yourself don’t. Francesca Albanese exposed China for sending military components and dual-use items to Israel, which makes it complicit in the genocide. Canadian and French weapons was also found in Sudan , a genocide that you love to use against pro Palestinians who also support ending that genocide .

          We’ve been over this. You’re not just one account. You and I both know this. No proof needed.

          You don’t support Palestine or Ukraine. You support destroying the west. That’s why you don’t ever bring up bad things in the world that aren’t somehow attributed to the west. When was the last time you criticized China? There’s a lot there to criticize.

            I don’t support the destruction of the west , criticizing a countries human rights abuses to support of it do not means . You don’t care about the Uyghurs , the Sudanese, the Palestinians, and the Ukrainians you just care about your fake patriotism.

            The last time I criticized China was when they abstained for voting against the surrender plan for Gazans and when Francesca Albanese exposed them . When the last that you criticized the west for not respecting their own values of human right protections no matter who commit human right abuses?
