Why did Carney jet off to Europe as Canada faces increasing trade tensions with the U.S.?
Mark Carney travelled to Paris, France, and London, United Kingdom, for his first official visit as prime minister to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed why Mark Carney chose to travel to Europe for his first official visit as prime minister despite Canada currently being embroiled in a trade war with its southern neighbour.
"So what's going on, why is Carney looking to Europe? I know it's more fun to talk to people like Emmanuel Macron because he isn't making any demands of Canada," said Ezra. "He doesn't care if we have fentanyl labs in Canada, he doesn't care about our illegal migration, he has his own problems."
Ezra went on: "Meeting with Emmanuel Macron is just a fun trip to Paris for any Liberal who likes to jet set like Carney clearly does."
While standing next to Macron, Carney stated that Canada is "the most European of non-European countries."

Ezra further noted that while the value of Canada's trade with France is around $9.5 billion, Canada-U.S. trade is almost 100 times more at $923 billion.
"If you look at our largest exports to the U.S., they can't be transferred to Europe. If this is some sort of trade trip or something, it can't work," he said.
"Of the top five exports we sell to the United States, oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum are three out of those five. And thanks to the Liberals, we can't really sell that to anyone other than the U.S. because the Liberals blocked any pipelines," Ezra added.
Carney has expressed readiness to engage with Trump, but there are currently no confirmed reports of the two leaders speaking since Carney became prime minister.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-03-18 21:18:29 -0400Carney’s a globalist. His group hate America and its liberties. It’s a Marxist move to do culturecide to all western values like the rule of law and the supremacy of the individual over the state. Hell has an especially horrid spot for folks like Carney.
