“Canada, he says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which for Trump means it is dependent on him personally. “Canada lives because of the United States,” he says, like a domestic abuser sneering You’re nothing without me.
As always, his lackeys are sent out to echo his contempt. … Lutnick accused Carney of displaying “an arrogant kind of thought.” Even worse … Bessent seemed to encourage the right-wing separatist movement in Alberta… “

“Whether Trump understands it or not, his policies and rhetoric about Canada could not have been more perfectly designed to alienate Canadians and shift its politics.
It’s almost impossible to overstate how offended Canadians were by Trump’s needling talk of making Canada the 51st state.”

“Bessent accused Carney of “trying to virtue signal to his globalist friends at Davos.” And what virtue was it that Bessent thinks Carney was insincerely signaling to the Je— pardon, to the “globalists”? A belief in the values the Western alliance always said it stood for, like democracy and human rights?…
when Carney implies that Canada just can’t trust America anymore, you can’t blame him. And it isn’t just Trump that Canada (and our other allies) can’t trust. It’s us, the American people.”
