Employing U.S. President Donald Trump’s marquee slogan, Prime Minister Mark Carney told a New York City business crowd on Thursday that “Canada strong will help make America great again,” a remark the U.S. envoy to this country said was “worth repeating.”
Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, the prime minister detailed his economic diversification strategy, and his plans to recalibrate Canada’s relationships and reputation.
“We’re focused on what we can control, and that means weaving a dense web of international partnerships abroad. That’s making us a much stronger, more resilient, more independent country,” Carney told the business crowd.
Touting some key areas where the federal Liberals have made progress, Carney sought to make the case for why Canada and the U.S. should continue to co-operate in key sectors.

I dont disagree with what you say. But when Americans are not really doing anything about a guy who has invaded other countries. And wants to do so with mine, its expected that we will be prickly.
“Not really doing anything.”
That’s about the most privileged Canadian shit as I’ve ever read. People have fought US imperialism for centuries, including the same groups of people targeted by its fascist government today. There are dozens of examples of mutual aid and direct action campaigns that protect people from being abducted and thrown in prison camps or worse. They’re not doing anything because why, it doesn’t help you for people to create networks of action and support to the benefit of their communities? They’re fucking being abducted by what was already a surveillance police state with centuries of racist, ableist, misogynist, queerphobic, transphobic, and settler-colonial violence. It isn’t “prickly” to discount the work other people have done to challenge a fascist dictatorship just because it gave you a booboo now, it’s fucking entitled and petulant.
How many people have died fighting this empire in the last year alone? What the fuck are you doing? Not buying American whiskey? Get the fuck over yourself, go sabotage the Oil Sands if you wanna talk the big talk.
Edit: fuck each and every Canadian who doesn’t recognize American anti-fascist action, you are traitors to the rest of us. Colonizers will always resort to self-destruction before they accept the responsibility to change.
Every day he commits more crimes. Every day he isn’t in jail. Get real
“Poor black people’s sacrifices in the fight against fascism is irrelevant because the literal highest position of power in the state wasn’t overthrown.”
Totally a person who’s ever had to fight for fucking anything.
Love that false equivalence. Keep at’er
Keep hiding, bootlicker.
Right, boot licker? Grow up
Americans are losers. Get fucked. Take care of your own shit before even talking about what Canada should do.
Then you should probably try to US imperialism in Canada. I don’t want my fucking country to be even more destroyed by capitalism, maybe I just care more about Canadians than you do.
I don’t think anyone here has a problem or doesn’t appreciate the examples of resistance you give. It’s the vast remainder that’s a problem. That said capital is behind the will, but at the same time the only people who can unseat it are still the working Americans.
They clearly do not appreciate them. Canadians are fucking colonizers. They don’t want colonialism or capitalism overturned, they want the bad guy in charge gone because they think he’s what’s making it uncomfortable for them. You clearly don’t know the people you’re talking about.
Yes bot.
I’m not even going to read your comment. Americans have done less than nothing. Fuck off
Remember that when you need US activist tactics to fight our own government when it inevitably adopts increasingly authoritarian capitalist tactics. Carney’s already trying to remove all environmental regulations and internet privacy, wonder why.
You’re a helpless doormat.
They won’t even help themselves 🤣🤣🤣
