Carney tells the media, in very clear terms "canada does not need any help with the US tariffs", he also said that his trip had nothing to do with trade, we already have a free trade agreement on 99 % of the goods we need....so why did he jet off to europe ...come on liberal voters you must know, let the right in on the secret...He just putting off talking to trump, and solving these tariffs...what else could it be...

Yes you should have.... well for one he does not have the authority to cancel the carbon tax, that requires parliament, what he did was for the media, we don't have exec orders here in canada where you sign something into law it has to be debated in parliament, then pass onto the senate ...........and all he did was lower the carbon tax, it is still on the books...He is hamstrung until parliament is in session. and even then he can not be seated in the house of commons he can be in the gallery or outside but he can not debate in the house...nor can he answer question in the house. There is more but i'm sure you can do your own research there big fella...

Lets not kid ourselves the Aegis system is one of the best if not the best in the world....being interoperable is just one piece of the puzzle....you make it sound like the US has some remote to prevent us from operating our war ships "not possible" like anything you buy from a foreign nationality you run the risk of them turn hostile or putting on tariffs etc same thing could happen with purchasing european, asian. Only save gap is to design and produce within Canada, and that ship sailed a long time ago...you can still operate a fully functioning warship with the older software...as for spare parts, thats what having a good logistical system here in canada where you purchase enough spares to midgate tariffs or spats, or unforeseen circumstances like war or conflicts...

How is fixing this tariff thing delusional ?

No i did not say that, building a major war ship is nothing like building fishing ves....apples and oranges... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter-class_frigate 8167 tones, with 32 vls cells.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River-class_destroyer_(2030s) 8000 tons with 24 vls cells... https://www.seaforces.org/marint/Royal-Navy/Frigate/City-Type-26-class.htm#:~:text=As of 2017%2C BAE Systems' website suggests a,157 with room for a total of 208. 6900 tonnes with x 2, 24 vls cells, plus 24 mk41 vls cells.

No he does not have all the powers, he has limited powers you should research that....on top of that parliament is closed down, that fake bill for the carbon tax he signed was for the media, that's not how it works in canada...this is not the US...and he is not trump...he did not cancel the carbon tax he lowered it.... Thats not how it works....unless invited it is not standard practice to see everyone and their dog .....first off this is not a trade mission, this is the Pm on gods know what mission, to make it look like he is doing something....except fighting this trade war... trade delegation's rarely see the nations leadership....maybe a MP if they are lucky....Trump already dismissed some of canada majors already....dofo was lucky to get to met with trumps minister...

Please explain what these two countries can do for canada in this fight with trump....because i don't get it... No they are not, atleast not a couple of months ago....and it is starting to look like that lately....we will see during the election...if there is one... Justin liberals are all still in the house sorry, nothing has changed, except 3 mp and carney...still the same stuff wrapped up in a new wrapper....

"YOU" think it is petty, we are in the middle of a major trade war and he is off seeing european friends...i think it is of utmost importance to concentrate on that...and calling an election. let's wait until the election is called before declaring a winner....and if Canadians have not had their fill of those liberal government then they clearly have not learned anything in the last 8 plus years...it is the same cabinet , all thats has changed is 3 new members and carny has gone from advising to running the party....same sh1t in the same bag only this time Carney has fooled most canadians into think he is the next liberal god... Liberal Canadians are not normal, this is the same liberal party Justin ran , and carney advised...don't expect anything thing to change....Justins liberals don't change anything they kick problems down the road for someone else to fix...

Irving shipyards downsized and moved it's dock yards to halifax so it could build smaller ships like fishing vessels because the navy did not provide enough business, The NAVY or should i say our government likes to keep them 40 plus years before replacing them, Irving can not wait that long....So we really don't have much in the way of a ship building industry, when it comes to major war ships....so it does not provide much in the way of diversify our economy does it? at most it provides a small bump while we pay workers to get up to speed on building ships only to lose that expertize after 10 years.... You should ask Irving...maybe the answer is no one likes paying those kind of prices when you can get far more ship for your dollar at other ship yards... Negative, they have the same amount of weapons, same aegis systems, ours is a little heavier...because they are the size of a cruiser... Do you have a source for the australian price i'd like to read it...

By doing what exactly, the french are part of the european union, and i'm pretty sure can not make independent trade negotiations, and Britain is a key US allied, and is not going to upset that basket....so what can carney possibly mitigate by seeing these two guys....it is a distraction from the main problem trump....So if nothing is going to be accomplished thats exactly what he is doing holding hands with people that can not or will not influence any thing. It's not a straw man....it's a waste of time and money...might as well of went to the beach in the Bahamas'

This trip has very little to do with establishing new trade partners....No trade delegation, he has very limited powers to start with....what we need is an election before carney screws things up no one can fix... Who runs the country again, can PP or the rest of them travel to europe and talk about trade, nope that's not how things work....everyone has a job to do...Carney should be trying to solve this trade tariff thing..then worry about diversifying our trade....atleast seeing trump to see what the ground rules are...new PM, new Rules

So your Ok with 110 bil for 15 ships....your also ok with Irving ripping us off....looks like we are going to have to raise the GST at least 10 % forever..., not to mention all the other equipment we need, you should just leave your paycheck at the door.... Please explain how we are diversifying our economy, once these ships are built there will be no more military ships...and at these prices who would want to pay ? Canada tweaked the design, but that does not explain the massive price difference...take a look at Australia's design very similar to ours the same Aegis operating systems and VLS platforms, not even close to over 7 bil a copy...

Trump's trade war is with the European union, not sure if france can act independently or not, ....British economy do you think it is strong enough to make a difference for canada...how so ? even the european unions total economy might not be enough to tackle the US.

Liberals announce a new military contract for frigates....What irving is charging us for just 3....you should sit down for these numbers, over 22 billion....more than 7 bil a copy...close to what the british paid for their aircraft carriers....while the british are building almost the same ship there total price is 15 bil for 8 ships... And the NAVY wants 15 of these ships estimated at over 100 bil today...compare that to the first estamate...is it worth the cost to pay for Canada shipbuilding industry....when these ships are going to be in the water for at least 40 plus years...and Irving will be in the same place it is now , 40 years from now....Somehow i don't think the navy is going to get 15 ships...like most navy projects it will be pared down...and Irving will dance all the way to the bank... Irving shipyards contract should be canceled and given to either british or australian contractors, or see south korea have the same ship built for much much less. with the same capabilities...

I can understand one or two story's about Mark Carneys job performance as governor of bank of Britian , but this is the third there has got to be something here, this article comes from the world of Finance...the voice of the market...I am going to warn those liberals this is a trigger warning, get your excuses ready, or find something wrong with the article...like the author sucks or she only served for a short while HER opinion does not count...i thought i put those in there so you could remember what you've already commented on...He was not very popular for many reasons...not sure why Canadians think he is the man to run the country, when Britian does not think he could manage the bank of Britain. anyways this article does not paint a rosy picture of our hero Mark Carney, it is kind of a warning to who this guy is as a person, and what his performance was... https://www.worldfinance.com/profile/a-marked-man-carney-set-for-boe-departure

What do you think the UK and france are going to do to trump....nothing both are fighting their own trump sh1t right now... We have been dealing with this tariffs thing for how long now....most of time without justin even in the room....we still have a liberal cabinet in the house, unless your saying they can not handle doing both at once....the country does not just go on hold when an election is ongoing...This type of crises should be settled by the next elected PM...not some wanna be that inherited the seat....

What does that mean, does parliament need to be open before he sees trump and talks about tariffs...i don't think so...

No where did i say i was sympathetic with trump in my post. Do you see those issues i outlined as a weakness or a strength ?...a lot of Canadians just refuse to see anything thinking we are cruising through life and federal government responsibilities are not to be taken seriously. pointing something that should be obvious to everyone is not being sympathetic to trump..

Not sure why you don't vote for them , you spend most of your time defending them right here.... Liberals managed to attain 8 % of their target goal...not even close to curing anything except wasting everyone's time and money...As for PP he has not made any such claims...your making this up as you fly... Well the way we as a nation have been treating climate change ya, it is bullshit all of it...the liberals have half ass everything about climate change, and the ex climate change minister should be shot with a ball of Justins sh1T more than once...it was nothing more than a scam.....how you can't see that is telling...

Has there ever been a Canadian government in which your wealth has shrunk....our standard of living has increased ever since the inception of Canada....those that have lost money say in 2008 have made all of that back...just saying it is not a good metric...I see your going to stay silent on how the country benefited from the liberal government or comment of the corruption that we know off.

Don't get me wrong i'm not a fan of trump, but if we are going to talk about the topic we should know both sides...the fact he is reasonable for 3 trillion dollars worth of investments, is impressive, something Canada has never been able to do....as for the stock market losses , those will all come back, as this whole tariffs goes away if it goes away... https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/03/04/trump-3-trillion-investment-american-economy/ https://www.courtmagazine.org/post/new-investments-under-president-trump-s-leadership

which political reasons....it is not popular....because the Canadian people know best right...it's all about votes...we are after all in almost in an election, and they were 20 points behind...what do you think it was about ?

And yet many major companies are going to move to the US and set up shop, some dealing are worth 500 billion or more...i think he is up to 3 trillion in new investments...so some companies are listening.

Well like you have alluded to yourself, meeting our agreements would be a good reason. Canceling the liberals sacred cow, and reversing carbon taxes proves it did not really do anything for climate change, nor did it benefit canada in any meaningful way, and like most liberal programs complete failure....and lastly there is not much of a crises if all we can mange to scrape up was 8 plus percent of our climate change goals... Well achieving 8 % of our goal is not the most effective way...everyone gets that except you... What you seem to forget is the liberals made a clear choice, not to meet any of our agreement goals, that it was all a sham, no crisses, no issues, if there was and our planet was in jeopardy why not up our efforts, why not put more money towards climate change instead of asking the Tax payer to pay some money then give most of it back at the end of the year....But they can do anything they want if the conservatives did not do anything 10 years ago..it is a free ticket to ride...Liberals made the choice, not to do anything productive where is all your anger for them...wait...

Since when did Canada give a shit about commitments...NATO, NORAD, 5 EYES, the list goes on...
