Hear me out. It should be abundantly clear by now that Mark Carney is a conservative.

While some people will say he's making some choices that are necessary to bolster Canadian businesses and tighten government purse strings, he's made several moves that don't accomplish either of those things and instead cater to big business and the already wealthy, like removing some tax on the rich.

Carney has caved to Trump's demands several times and more recently apparently lied, on purpose or through ignorance, about the toll splitting arrangement with the US.

Has anyone looked into the tariffs being proposed by Trump?

We see articles talking about lumber but they're also planning to tariff plant bulbs, wigs, hockey sticks and several other items which amount to less than 1% of Canadian trade.

You may have noticed that Carney is also very friendly with Trump, recently being seen with him at the Fifa final.

I have to wonder if both Carney and Trump are only scratching each other's backs here.

Let's say Carney sees this as his big chance to destroy Canada's unions, stop Canada's environmental efforts (as pathetic as they are), push through resource expansion, push through expensive projects and funnel more money to the already rich, all under the guise of protecting Canada.

Trump wants to say he's being tough on everybody, but what he really wants to do is stuff his pockets with money, consolidate power for himself and his other rich buddies, obviously avoid any accountability for all the evil shit that he's done, and if he and Mark Carney have an understanding, perhaps the both of them are working together to screw the people of their respective countries while making it appear like they both are adversarial?

I assume neither of them give a shit about the populace anyway, but I'm saying I wonder if there's more insidious shit going on, just below the surface.

Part of the reason I say this is the massive gulf between what Carney says, like at his davos speech, and what he's doing.

Are Trump and Carney really just two sides to the same coin?
