Elbows Down! A total surrender from Mark Carney to Trump
Carney surrendered to Trump earlier today, removing most tariffs on America after months of failed negotiations.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Mark Carney presented himself as the Trump Whisperer—a sophisticated and worldly figure operating at the highest levels—the only one tough enough to handle Trump.
“Elbows up!” he declared on April 28, illustrating his point with a chicken dance alongside his bride. This aggressive stance included disparaging and threatening Trump, such as raising an internet tax on U.S. companies during trade negotiations.
Carney thought part of being tough was putting tariffs on U.S. goods—and that could make sense. Except he did so on goods that were specifically exempted by the US-Canada trade deal, the USMCA.
Carney also sought closer ties with China and Europe, even claiming Canada was a "natural fit" for the EU. This despite being excluded from recent Ukraine peace talks.
His closest ally, Doug Ford, has only amplified the recklessness.
Carney’s tariff bait-and-switch exposed: elbows up or down?

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has been caught in a blatant bait-and-switch, abandoning his campaign promise of an “elbows up” stance against U.S. tariffs just days before Canadians went to the polls on April 28,… pic.twitter.com/7r4SR2g32n
Carney recently surrendered to Trump, removing most tariffs on America and accepting Trump's terms, despite previously placing them. He declared it a "good deal" and claimed credit, but his negotiation skills are deplorable.
Initially, the Liberals and media backed a confrontational approach, even labelling Premier Danielle Smith a "traitor" for working with Trump. Now, they'll likely spin Carney's concession as "brave leadership."
Furthermore, Trump has unveiled new tariffs on Canadian manufactured goods containing steel and aluminum, impacting Saskatchewan's agricultural equipment makers. Ottawa, however, seems indifferent, having done nothing to lift China's canola tariffs.
After 161 days as Prime Minister, with Parliament sitting only 22 days, Carney has achieved nothing. No budget, no U.S. deal, and skyrocketing immigration, crime, and taxes.
Total failure. I thought this guy was supposed to be an improvement over Trudeau?

Paul Scofield commented 2025-08-22 21:43:51 -0400Tucker Carlson has not only completely changed his mind, he has lost it. Many of us in the States have noticed this in the last six or seven months. I always liked Carlson, but quit listening to anything he had to say in mid-February. He is a bright man, but not quite so bright, I think, as he believes himself to me. It feels like hubris caught up with him and gave him a good chomp in the butt. Candice Owens, a lesser light, fell off the sanity wagon even further back. Perhaps from a similar cause.
Regarding Carney, Ezra called it right many months ago, even before the election. Rather than dealing with the fentanyl issue at and above the 49th Parallel and its porous borders — the original request of Trump for Canada to address, else tarrifs would be applied, Trudeau, Carney and the LPC pivoted on a dime and changed the April election to Canada v. Trump, rather than the half-assed Trudeau and Liberal record v. Pierre Poilievre. And it worked. Trump, like most Americans, do not fully follow Canadian politics much so the President was played, into being Orange Man Bad for Canadian political purposes.
Probably like many believe in Aberta and Saskatchewan, Doug Ford is regarded as unserious and an idiot here in America. I think that Canada lost the best of the Ford brothers when Rob Ford passed away. -

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-08-22 20:54:20 -0400I don’t understand right wing hatred of Jews either. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and the only Jewish homeland in the entire world. Islam has taken 56 countries and Gaza under it’s evil rule but Jews have only one country to call home. I hope those conservative Jew-hating bloggers and commentators lose their audience. And why aren’t these people on the right exposing what the left is doing in Canada and the UK?

Crude Sausage commented 2025-08-22 20:30:46 -0400There is no doubt that Tucker Carlson is being paid off by one of the wealthier muslim nations. Aquarius Waive brought it up on YouTube, but even if you don’t believe he is a credible source, you just have to watch what his guests have to say to know that there is a common theme: Israel bad. I’m not Jewish, but even I am sick of it.
