If Carney is actually being bold, he'd turn down Trump's Board of Peace invite, for example, and advocate for the UN.

Perhaps the question Canadians should be asking is this:
Why hasn't the Canadian government made a public announcement that Canada is cancelling the US F35 order and going with the Swedish Gripen, instead?
Why has it been a year with no public announcement?

Another reason to go with the Gripen.
The US isn’t reliable anymore.
The US isn’t reliable anymore.
Japan accuses the U.S. of failing to deliver $6.9B in military equipment, with 118 FMS contracts delayed over five years, forcing reliance on older gear and leaving critical systems like the E-2D Hawkeye unsupported despite advance payments.

Liberals will not win over young voters because:
-They aren't serious about affordable housing
-No plans to address other living costs (groceries, transportation, utilities)
-Won't make uni tuition free
-Gaza (e.g. Carney joining Trump's Palestine group)
So, @ndp.ca need to step up.
