Host / other voice“the Department of Defense announced it was pausing the 86-year-old permanent Joint Board of Defense between the United States and Canada. According to Undersecretary for War Policy, Eldridge Colby, the move comes amid mounting frustration in Washington over Canada's chronic defense underinvestment and Prime Minister Mark Carney's increasingly confrontational rhetoric toward President Trump.”
Host / other voice“Carney's anti-American posture and politics are themselves really a culmination of the sad reality that throughout the liberal era, so since 2015, Canada's national identity has been absolutely immolated by its government.”
Host / other voice“Mark Carney is the prime minister up there, and part of his political brand is to fight Trump and fight the United States and talk, you know, sort of play into those passions of Canadian voters. But what he's actually doing as an alternative to this partnership and alliance with the United States is he seems to be cozying up pretty dramatically to the Chinese Communist Party, which is deeply alarming to me.”
Host / other voice“foundations of the international order, the order which Canada helped to build, and from which we have long benefited, that order is crumbling. And many of our former strengths built on our close ties to the United States have become our weaknesses.”
Host / other voice“We see what happens when he does that. You have our nearest closest neighbor sitting there talking about divesting from the United States and trying to diversify their supply chains after we basically worked alongside them for years.”
Host / other voice“Mark Carney has made a few different comments on this war, one in support of it, the other saying that it was support with regret and that he believed perhaps that the war did not align with international law.”
Host / other voice“Mark Carney had numerous occasions to provide this information between March the 1st, in the early hours of March the 1st when this attack happened. He had over a dozen media availability and press conferences that he could disclose these facts.”
Host / other voice“the world sees Canada as a leader. And this is in terms of numerous issues, proponents of international law, standing for the values that are humane, like international human rights and gender equality and reconciliation and environmental sustainability, to name a few.”
Mark Carney“Canada can't solve all the world's problems, but we can show that another way is possible, that the arc of history isn't destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion, it can still bend towards progress and justice.”
Host / other voice“Mark Carney made what I think is in many ways a brilliant speech that made it clear that he understands that Trump represents a fundamental threat to the so-called Western order or the rules-based order.”
Host / other voice“Mark Carney would not be the Prime Minister of Canada if it had not been, I think, for the trade war declared on Canada by the United States, leading to the elevation of Carney and the polls in the late stages of an election against Pierre Poliav.”
Host / other voice“What he is saying is that this isn't a gradual change happening right now. The word he uses is rupture, that the order that we have known for decades of relatively peaceful cooperation... is falling apart.”
