Carney says ‘who cares’ comment on Trump talks was ‘poor choice of words’

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his recent reply to a question about the state of trade talks with the U.S. — “Who cares?” — amounted to “a poor choice of words.”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hammered the prime minister over his comment during question period in the House of Commons Tuesday.

“Before the election he promised ‘elbows up.’ After, it was, ‘Who cares?’ Before the election, he said the tariffs were an ‘existential crisis.’ Now he says they’re not a burning issue,” Poilievre said.


He says stupid crap for the Elbow People who consider this sort of thing a mighty victory.

MPs ‘speechless’ after Stellantis fails to show up to hearing, citing technical issues

Members of Parliament from multiple parties slammed Stellantis on Tuesday for failing to show up to a committee hearing about the federal government’s multimillion-dollar funding deals with the global automaker.

“I am incredibly annoyed that Stellantis has not been able to join us,” said Vince Gasparro, the Liberal MP for Eglinton—Lawrence. “This is incredibly frustrating and […] at this point, unacceptable.”

A company executive was scheduled to appear by videoconference before the House of Commons’ government operations and estimates committee on Tuesday morning. But that executive, Teresa Piruzza, never showed up over the course of the nearly two-hour public meeting.

Ukraine Drops Aid Audits in US Peace Plan – WSJ

Ukraine has reportedly removed a key clause from the controversial US peace plan that would have required auditing all international aid.

Originally, according to The Wall Street Journal, the plan called for a full verification of Ukraine’s foreign assistance, aimed at curbing corruption.

The new version replaces that requirement with broad amnesty for all parties for actions taken during the war.

A senior US official told reporters that other conditions will still be carefully negotiated with Kyiv.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Did Carney really ditch Canada’s feminist foreign policy?

Is the Liberal party’s foreign policy no longer feminist? People have been asking the question all week, ever since Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday that, “We have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy. Those are different points, but related.”

He subsequently clarified that gender equality remains a priority for Canada, but that things like gender-based violence are “an issue of justice,” and that, “Different countries put a different priority on it.… But by discussing strategies and approaches, my experience is that I think that’s part of our policy, as well.”

AI could replace half of American jobs, says report

About half of American jobs could be replaced by artificial intelligence, according to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute.

The American consultancy’s analysis found that robots and AI agents could automate more than half of US work hours, both mental and cognitive, using technology that is available today, if companies redesigned how they did things.

Most of the roles at risk — about 40 per cent — involve the kinds of drafting, processing information and routine reasoning that AI agents can do. Hiring is slowing in some such jobs, such as among paralegals, administrative and office support workers and programmers, the research found.

US State Department Directs Embassies in Canada, Other Countries to Scrutinize Impacts of Mass Immigration

PINDER: The real Carney is emerging

A deficit, disdain, and deception — unmasking the true cost of Carney’s leadership.

Our Prime Minister, a citizen of three countries, squeezed time from his many planet saving roles to return to Canada and fulfill his manifest destiny of leading the country in which he was born. Many recognized the dilemma — on one hand, a globalist propagating the fantasy of net zero — in his words — “will require a whole economy transition — every company, every bank, every insurer, and investor will have to adjust their business models.” His affinities, as Director of the World Economic Forum and several important roles with the United Nations, driven by a belief in net zero, are anathema to his “build Canada” theme.

Funny that his long held beliefs and objectives were mostly unmentioned during the leadership and general election campaigns. But he has now played his hand, and the examples abound.
