Juno News - What exactly did Mark Carney achieve during his European trip？

00:00:00.000 So Mark Carney is sort of a liability and he wasn't met with open arms. He wasn't able to

00:00:04.240 negotiate any kind of deal in Europe. So he left Europe empty handed with no trade deal,

00:00:09.620 no new relationship, nothing to show for himself. And the only thing that did happen was he had that

00:00:15.940 embarrassing feud with his own doting press, like the people who are on his side, like Rosemary

00:00:22.260 Barton of the CBC, you know, speaking very condescendingly to them and sort of unnecessarily

00:00:27.640 picking a fight with him so from my perspective mark carney's entire trip to london to england

00:00:32.760 was a total disaster he came home empty-handed and that that is really a story that our prime

00:00:38.760 minister wasn't able to deliver on anything you know he went to europe yeah he went to europe

00:00:44.760 to try to show that we don't need americans and he came back with basically the the idea that we

00:00:50.120 actually do need the americans because nobody else wants to be our partner what do you think of all

00:00:53.960 that. I have so many thoughts about that and things that I'm potentially nitpicking just a

00:00:59.660 little bit too much. But I think in general, of course, it is important for a new leader to go

00:01:06.180 and meet all of your allies around the world. Obviously, the fact that it was Europe and it

00:01:12.280 wasn't, I don't know, maybe China to help with the 100% tariffs that the media is simply just

00:01:18.260 not outraged about at all that is going to absolutely wipe out a lot of industry in the

00:01:23.480 Prairies, especially. That's bizarre. It's bizarre that it wasn't with the US. I think overall,

00:01:29.220 I don't think that Donald Trump would take Mark Carney seriously at this point until he wins a

00:01:33.640 federal election. So perhaps that could have something to do with it as well. The one thing

00:01:39.100 that I will say, and this is me potentially just nitpicking a little much, is the fact that you

00:01:46.840 have Donald Trump, who has been going after everybody. It's not just Canada. It's far from

00:01:51.380 just Canada. And one thing that Donald Trump has been very, very particular about has been

00:01:57.280 to remove the elites, the globalist initiatives and agendas out of America. And in that same

00:02:05.220 timeframe, you have Mark Carney, who is elected, who certainly if you do some research, you can

00:02:10.560 put some pieces together there. And then you also have the leaders in both France and the UK who

00:02:16.060 are all a part of the same types of organizations. And it's really fascinating to me, and perhaps

00:02:21.600 this is just something more to think about, that our prime minister, Mark Carney, rather

00:02:27.840 than going to mend relationships with something that's going to hurt our economy even more,

00:02:33.420 he decided to go and, I don't know, hang out with, I guess, for a few days, some other

00:02:39.680 leaders whose countries economically and culturally are very much in the same disaster that ours are.
