Employing U.S. President Donald Trump’s marquee slogan, Prime Minister Mark Carney told a New York City business crowd on Thursday that “Canada strong will help make America great again,” a remark the U.S. envoy to this country said was “worth repeating.”
Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, the prime minister detailed his economic diversification strategy, and his plans to recalibrate Canada’s relationships and reputation.
“We’re focused on what we can control, and that means weaving a dense web of international partnerships abroad. That’s making us a much stronger, more resilient, more independent country,” Carney told the business crowd.
Touting some key areas where the federal Liberals have made progress, Carney sought to make the case for why Canada and the U.S. should continue to co-operate in key sectors.

As long as we boycott the shit of the us, and stop bending over the barrel for them. We are making America a slightly less shitty place
Okay, but I’d like to make both the US and Canada more compassionate and less harmful places to live. I don’t see how a Neolib who has expressed many times that he does not intend to challenge the fascism in the US (even excitedly tried to jump on the Iran invasion) does that.
I get a lot of you wanna feel like you’re some freedom fighter for buying Hawkins (which is the superior product) instead of Cheetos, but the truth is that the common interests among propertied classes in the US and Canada is going to trump whatever kind of effect you think you’re having. Booze and tourism seems to be the most hard-hit, and afaik, that shit’s peanuts compared to the fossils fuel industry that the US is singlehandedly extending the life of and Carney is all in on.
Edit: thread below demonstrates how fucking helpless most Canadians are to even recognize their position in US imperialism. Many of you seriously think of yourselves as activists or fighters for doing selective consumerism. The Canadian state is a subject of US imperialism, you can’t rely on the paternalism to fight for you. Canadians have never had to sacrifice for their way of life, and you can tell.
Hey, every little bit helps. You can’t call down people for not doing enough. Most people are just working stiffs. They are not a canny, political force, nor should they be. I willingly accept any effort made.
Reread the comment.
There’s no war like class war
White Canadians believe they’re in on it, they’d rather be responsible investors and become landlords. They didn’t care about US fascism or imperialism until it effected them in the most marginal way, they don’t want anti-US-imperialism to effect Canadian imperialism, they don’t have the heart that you need to even acknowledge class warfare.
I’m often disgusted by Canadians.
It’s more of a human, capitalist thing than it is a national thing. You have the right to be disgusted by any large, nebulous group of people though.
Cool, cite four books you’ve read on anything you just claimed.
they also exported the worst canadians, j peterson, TED RAFAEL cruz,etc.
When my partner and I went to do my taxes this year, the guy at Liberty kept talking about how great investment properties are and how we should look into getting one to have a stable future.
My partner made under $20k last year. We rent. It was frankly insulting.
I dont disagree with what you say. But when Americans are not really doing anything about a guy who has invaded other countries. And wants to do so with mine, its expected that we will be prickly.
“Not really doing anything.”
That’s about the most privileged Canadian shit as I’ve ever read. People have fought US imperialism for centuries, including the same groups of people targeted by its fascist government today. There are dozens of examples of mutual aid and direct action campaigns that protect people from being abducted and thrown in prison camps or worse. They’re not doing anything because why, it doesn’t help you for people to create networks of action and support to the benefit of their communities? They’re fucking being abducted by what was already a surveillance police state with centuries of racist, ableist, misogynist, queerphobic, transphobic, and settler-colonial violence. It isn’t “prickly” to discount the work other people have done to challenge a fascist dictatorship just because it gave you a booboo now, it’s fucking entitled and petulant.
How many people have died fighting this empire in the last year alone? What the fuck are you doing? Not buying American whiskey? Get the fuck over yourself, go sabotage the Oil Sands if you wanna talk the big talk.
Edit: fuck each and every Canadian who doesn’t recognize American anti-fascist action, you are traitors to the rest of us. Colonizers will always resort to self-destruction before they accept the responsibility to change.
Every day he commits more crimes. Every day he isn’t in jail. Get real
“Poor black people’s sacrifices in the fight against fascism is irrelevant because the literal highest position of power in the state wasn’t overthrown.”
Totally a person who’s ever had to fight for fucking anything.
Love that false equivalence. Keep at’er
Keep hiding, bootlicker.
I don’t think anyone here has a problem or doesn’t appreciate the examples of resistance you give. It’s the vast remainder that’s a problem. That said capital is behind the will, but at the same time the only people who can unseat it are still the working Americans.
They clearly do not appreciate them. Canadians are fucking colonizers. They don’t want colonialism or capitalism overturned, they want the bad guy in charge gone because they think he’s what’s making it uncomfortable for them. You clearly don’t know the people you’re talking about.
Yes bot.
Americans are losers. Get fucked. Take care of your own shit before even talking about what Canada should do.
Then you should probably try to US imperialism in Canada. I don’t want my fucking country to be even more destroyed by capitalism, maybe I just care more about Canadians than you do.
I’m not even going to read your comment. Americans have done less than nothing. Fuck off
Remember that when you need US activist tactics to fight our own government when it inevitably adopts increasingly authoritarian capitalist tactics. Carney’s already trying to remove all environmental regulations and internet privacy, wonder why.
You’re a helpless doormat.
They won’t even help themselves 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly saying it once was a big political risk. Like usual, Hoekstra can dream on.
Dear Canada, Please don’t feel obligated to help the US be “great again.” Please protect yourself and don’t trust the US.
It’s strategic. Mango Mussolini doesn’t actually understand any of this, but if you repeat his nonsense back at him, he claps and leaves you alone for a while. Then you can do whatever you want while he’s distracted.
The Feds signed a contract with Palantir ffs, this is not “strategic”
No one said their strategy was good, just that they were outsmarting Trump. That’s a dismally low bar.
We are, but if we can convince US business people that it is their best interests to not attack Canada, that will also improve the state of things.
Even better if those business leaders can be convinced to use their (bought and paid for) influence within the US government to get that government to stop attacking Canada.
