This sounds like @PressSec is promoting a modern day Crusade. This is religion at its worst.
...and what's wrong with that, Margaret?

It's a good thing that house prices are becoming more affordable for first time buyers @acoyne
All economic news is bad.

I think Lutnick is whining and complaining 🤔 @josh_wingrove
Canada has "the second best deal in the world," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick tells Bloomberg TV. "And there he (Carney) is complaining that he's going to China?" "They have the second best deal in the world and all I've got to do is listen to this guy whine and complain?"

Carney does remember that. This is why he wants to shift away.
“Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that Mark, the next time you make statements” 🎤 President Trump at WEF in Davos

Is this satire?
🚨 Trump writes letter to Norway PM, says he no longer has "obligation to think of Peace" because Norway did not give him the Nobel Peace Prize.

The conservative pundits should listen to the conservative premier Scott Moe as he was part of the negotiations
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is praising Prime Minister Mark Carney's deal with China that will provide tariff relief to both countries. Vassy Kapelos asks Moe what kind of precedent this deal has set the next time China is unhappy with something Canada has done?

I think Champagne gave an excellent answer @ryangerritsen . You would benefit by having a more open mind.
Champagne in Qatar gets asked about concerns in the Canadian business community that because Carney is running around getting these extra trade deals the U.S. is going to say we don’t need them or the USMCA deal renewed. Judging by this pompous man’s answer, millions of Canadians are being screwed over by their own Government on purpose. This is serious.

Canada just became important
Amusing to see American conservatives who keep telling us that Canada is a joke, we're inconsequential, and they don't need anything from us suddenly care about the fact that Canada is striking a major trade with China. Not so funny anymore, is it? On the geopolitical chessboard, Carney just captured a key piece, reminding Washington that Canada has options. Like we have options with our oil and gas. I say all this as someone who is sympathetic to Trump and what he's trying to accomplish, and I would like to see Canada more integrated with the U.S. The Canadian response has been smart and ballsy. I suspect Trump respects that.

I don't think @IngrahamAngle heard the message from Trump
Donald Trump said you didn’t need any cars made in Canada.

If Bannon is unhappy Carney must be on the right track
BANNON: Mark Carney is an enemy of the United States; it's obvious. Canada has been infiltrated by the CCP and radical Islam. What he did in Beijing was tantamount to an economic declaration of unrestricted warfare against the United States of America!

Total body scans may do more harm than good

Zelensky is a lot braver than Putin!
#Zelensky is not a saint; he has his faults, and he will be criticized for them. But this man has balls. Video from Kupiansk. #Putin said that Ukrainian soldiers were surrounded in Kupiansk and that anyone who wanted to could come and see for themselves. So Zelensky went there.

Canadians didn't vote for a minority government. They voted for their local representative.
At the end of the day, this speaks volumes about the Liberal’s contempt for the very voters who sent a clear message at the ballot box in April. Canadians chose a minority government with a strong opposition precisely to demand accountability and transparency of an untested PM. Instead, they are being treated as an inconvenience in the process of deals to obtain what voters didn’t give them. Proud to be part of a strong CPC team that scrutinizes the most powerful people in this country on behalf of taxpayers.
