Mark Carney.
Essentially now any government that courts or aligns itself with the United States government from this point forward -- and specifically, the Trump administration -- is aligning its national identity with these values.

It baffles me that the CRTC still refuses to recognize the primacy of the writer/showrunner after years of profiles of Simon, Chase, Weiner, Rhimes, Gilligan, Sherman-Palladino, Key & Peele, Fey, etc. Perhaps they simply disdain Canadians who do it.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.
