Really remarkable speech summarizing Carney's pragmatic and risk-avoidant leadership style, written at a relatively high level. Glad I spent the time to read the transcript. I am lucky to be living in Canada.

Especially* in tough times - when it’s easier money to bet on others - I bet on 🇨🇦 every single time.
I’m not afraid of long odds. I’m not ready to surrender the possibilities. If we lose the race, I’ll be right here.
Step up or step out of the way.

The old, "You're judged by the company you keep" does not apply. "Guilt by association", does not apply."If you have a tattoo, you are a gang member ", does not apply.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

To say this is unusual is a massive understatement.

Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.
During the meeting, she called Trump.
Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

Why he's not being escorted out of the oval, in handcuffs, is mind boggling.
Trump gave a foreign power access to America's highly advanced and protected AI chips in exchange his personal enrichment of half a billion dollars.
This makes Watergate look as if Nixon had driven three miles over the speed limit once.

This is a great listen regarding the reality of what would happen should Hegseth & Trump wish to display how powerful the US Military actually is. Calling in all US bonds would tank the US economy faster than.......well, you get it.

And yet more proof why trump loves the undereducated - applies to journalists too 😔
What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.

I don’t know maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old-fashioned, but doesn’t it seem like a bad idea for the president, a bunch of his cabinet members, the guy he let decimate our federal workforce and his future Fed Chair, to be implicated in the criminal files of a notorious child sex trafficker?

Damn right it what the correct speech to give. Once you cower to a bully, you lose ALL leverage. Standing up to that POS shows Canada is a trustworthy partner and foreign investment is not only welcome but we'll treat you with respect and honour our agreements. The world WAS watching 👀.
