On the left in the photos below -- but not so hard left as his loony colleagues Steven Guilbeault and Chrystia Freeland -- is Mark Carney, leader of the Gliberal Party of Canada.Unlike the other two, Mr Carnage has never been elected to anything. But was Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He is a banker, and a member of the WEF liberal elite.
On the right -- but not so hard right as his former colleague Maxime Bernier, now leader of the People's Party of Canada -- is Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. Mr Poilievre is a much-elected politician and former member of the cabinet of the much-unloved Steven Harpoon. This is his first test as leader of the Cuckservatives.
M Poilievre dislikes being referred to as "Pipi" (American readers note: it's pronounced "pee-pee".) He enjoyed being called "Canada's Donald Trump"... until recently.
For you see, gentle reader, the vast [or at least half-vast. Ed.] majority of Canucks dislike President Donald J. Trump. Intensely. Their fear and loathing of the Donald [That would make a good book title. If only HST were still alive. Ed.] has intensified since January 20th, owing to Mr Trump's straight-faced suggestions that Canada shoujld become the 51st of the Excited States of Canada, and his nonsensical campaign of tariffs to make it so.
The Liberal propagandists who run the state-owned CB C (Canadian Broadcorping Castration) as well and other lickspittle media (CBC) have put together a surprisingly effective TV commerical in which they juxtapose quotes from President Trump with quotes from Pipi, which shows them to be saying basically the same things.
They're painting M Poilievre as "just like Trump", and it seems to be working. The Tories have plummeted in the polls while the Liberals have risen, and now lead by around five points. Having a new leader to replace the hated Emperor Trudeau has helped the Grits, but it's the comparison with POTUS that bites the Cuckservatives in the ass.
A few days before the election was called, President Trump made public out his unflattering opinion of M Poilievre, saying he is "not a MAGA guy." Pouncing on the chance to distance himself from Mr Trump, Pipi responded on X, "Mr President, it is true. I am not MAGA. I am for Canada First. Always. Canada has always been America’s best friend & ally. But we will NEVER be the 51st state."
President Trump attacked M Poilievre during a nearly hour-long interview with Ben Domenech, editor-at-large at the British magazine The Spectator. He warned Pipi not to make the mistake of thinking he will "be the tough guy"” and "knock out Trump. They all make that mistake… They end up getting the hell beat out of them."
Will saying that President Trump doesn't like him help the Cuckservative leader at the polls in which Canada's relations with the US of A be the chief issue? Was Mr Trump trying to give M Poilievre a boost by putting daylight between them? Is a puzzlement, especially given his Big Friendly Phone Call with the new Liberal leader yesterday..
Prime Minister Carnage and President Trump held their first-ever conversation on Friday, after which the former announced that they had agreed to comprehensive negotiations... after the upcoming federal election. Presumably if M Poilievre wins all bets are off.
"The spirit of the call was both cordial and focused on making progress," Mr Carney told the assembled lapdogs at a campaign event in Montréal later in the day. You could almost hear the smirk on his face as he said, "The president respected Canada’s sovereignty today, both in his private and public comments."
Until yesterday, Mr Trump repeatedly trolled former PM Blackie McBlackiface, calling him "Governor Trudeau" of the hypothetical 51st state. But after the call, POTUS repeatedly referred to Mr Carnage as "prime minister".
And there was more (comparative) sweetness and light. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump said he will "absolutely" follow through on his threat of large-scale tariffs if Canada take actions against the American economy. Yet he also toned down his language toward Canada, who he has previously accused of ripping off and "cheating" the US of A on trade but declined to say so again.
"I'm not referring to Canada," he said pointedly, "but many other countries have been taking advantage of us... We had a very good talk, the prime minister and myself, and I think things are going to work out very well between Canada and the United States."
What's going on? Why the sudden change of tone? Are yesterday's statements meant to help Mr Carnage by showing that Mr Trump can get along with him? Or to hurt Mr Carnage by showing that Mr Trump can get along with him? How would I know? President Trump's logic is too deep for me. I need my hip-waders.
